There is no better person to share your childhood with than a sibling, especially your twin. When decorating the bedroom for your twins, no matter if they are boys or girls, you need to strike perfect balance and encourage individuality. Their bedroom will be their safe place for growing up and playing, and that is why it is of the utmost importance to decorate according to their characters.
Decorating with Paint
Painted walls can be a great means of defining the territory of each twin. You can choose two different colors for your twins and simply split the room. Of course, you should ask your children to pick their favorite colors that can go together perfectly in one room, and let them help you decorate their bedroom. For your boys, you can nicely pair different shades of blue and green, and pair them with some details of light red or yellow. For neutral tones you can paint their room into softer shades of gray and achieve the calm atmosphere. After the wall painting is done, you can emphasize pieces of furniture and bed sheets that are in contrasting colors to the room. Just make sure to meet the preferences of your twins.
Use Fabrics for Coziness
Choose a neutral color for the walls, which can be easily dressed up or down with various fabrics and furniture. Polyester and cotton fabrics are perfect for some smaller pieces of furniture, such as small armchairs or seating cushions and pillows, and you can choose darker shades of red blue or green. When it comes to these accessories, as well as the carpet, you should consider darker colors, because there will be lots of spilling and stains. Also, let the children pick their own fabrics for the bedding; one twin may choose darker shades of cotton fabrics but the other one may choose contrasting colors. Dress up the windows, too, with some drapes that fit their desires, and blend all of those colors nicely to give them their own safe place for childhood.
Play with Themes
Thematizing their bedroom can be a great and easy way to decorate it. With younger generations you can decorate their room with some motives form nursery rhymes and their favorite bedtime books and fairytales. For older boys you can thematize with their favorite superhero movies. Buy the beddings with Spiderman or Superman or other heroes they like; set up paired shelves above each boy’s bed and display their favorite Davey Boys Toys superhero figurines and let them admire and play with them every day. For your little princesses you can dress up their rooms like a princess’s castle and let them enjoy in their toy ponies and dolls. Also, you can decorate with some animal prints and provide them with various jungle adventures.
For the best comfort your twins will need their soft and worm twin beds. You can put the beds next to or facing each other. Consult with your twins and see how they prefer it. Also, your kids will need some place for play and learning, so set up two small desks with comfy chairs, or even set up a desk that is good for both of your kids. You can also organize a corner with a TV and lay down soft cushions and pillows and provide them with safe place for enjoying cartoons and video games. Give them a colorful dresser with enough drawers and shelves, and set up several shelves around their beds for their books and toys. Remember to do everything in pairs and to follow your kids’ ideas and desires.
Decorating a twin bedroom is not such a tough job. Like with any other kids, you just have to consider their wishes and there will be no problems. Give each twin a place to enjoy and express themselves, and you did a great job.

MRI scan is a sophisticated procedure during and before which many things need to be taken care of. It is a magnetic resonance imaging process which uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of specific internal parts of the body.
Before the scan
It is not very often that there are eating or drinking regulations before a scan but this can, of course, vary according to the body part that you are getting scanned. The radiologist or doctor can instruct you not to eat a few hours before the scan or can tell you to drink a fairly large amount of water. This is dependent on the type of scan you are getting done.
Patients are asked to remove any metallic material beforehand such as watches. Jewelry including necklaces, bracelets, piercing which include ear, nose and nipple piercings, dentures which are false teeth, hearing aids and wigs because they can sometimes contain metallic traces. This is because the process involves strong magnetic fields and metallic materials can distort images.
Other than this, the patient can be asked to wear a hospital gown depending on which body part they have to get scanned. For that one must not wear clothes that have buttons, zippers or even wired bras.
A consent form is signed by the patients before the procedure in cases of anything that could go wrong during the scan. A medical form is also given to the patients who are asked to fill it so that the radiologist can know of any medical conditions and ensure a safe scan.
This is a type of dye which is injected into the body to show some veins or brain parts clearer. It can have a number of side effects like feeling or being sick, dizziness, skin rash or a headache. People with severe kidney disease can suffer from kidney failure due to which the patient must tell the radiologist beforehand if they suffer from such problems like kidney disease or blood clotting issues.
These are given to people who are claustrophobic and have an issue with confined spaces to relax so that they stay still during the scan. Babies and young children are also given general anesthesia because it is hard for them to remain still for longer durations. In this case, a friend or family member must be present with you to drive you home as you cannot drive for the next 24 hours and also need supervision.
During the procedure
The patient is placed on a movable bed then placed into the cylindrical MRI machine. An additional tray can be placed on a specific body part to get clearer images. The person is asked to stay still so that the images are not distorted. This process can last from 15 minutes – 90 minutes again depending on the type of scan. The person is asked to relax for breaks in very long scans and during short scans can be asked to hold their breath. The patient is entered head first or feet first depending on the body part being scanned.
The machine can make loud thumping noises during the scans due to the electric current in the scanner coils being turned off. For these patients are usually given earplugs or even headphones to listen to some music.
The radiologist is present in another room to keep the computer away from the magnetic fields of the MRI machine. A computer is used to operate the machine. One can talk to the radiologist through the intercom at all times and they can also look at you during the process with the help of a monitor. A friend or family member can also be present with you during the scan and has to follow the same clothing regulations and also has to inform if they have any metallic thing present in their bodies such as a pacemaker.
After the scan
It is an outpatient procedure which means you will not have to stay in the hospital and can carry out your daily activities. In the case of sedatives, you must have a friend or family member to drive you home and stay with you for the next 24 hours.

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — Governor Jim Justice ordered the shutdown of state-owned campgrounds and lodges, and says people from high-risk states such as New York must self-quarantine for 14 days if they come here. But Justice sparked controversy when he said the state police could charge people who violate that executive order with obstruction. That outraged West Virginia’s ACLU.
“Those criminal penalties can include incarceration. And the real problem with that is the government would be taking people that they think might have COVID-19, putting them in our overcrowded and unsanitary jails. It’s a breeding ground,” said Joseph Cohen, executive director, ACLU of West Virginia.
But the Governor says the state of emergency, means tough measures have to be in place now, even if he eventually loses a court fight over his order.
“We’re dealing with an absolute pandemic, a world-wide pandemic and people are dying all over the place. And I’m trying to do everything I possibly can, to protect our people, and I’m going to do that,” said Gov. Jim Justice, (R) West Virginia.
In other developments, the Governor has also halted all elective surgeries at hospitals across the state, to conserve resources for fighting the pandemic threat. And the Governor says he’s trying to halt the closure of Williamson Hospital in Mingo County because the state needs every hospital bed in this crisis. Meanwhile, the National Guard continues its focus on food distribution, especially for children.
“Today we have 370 Guardsmen on duty. Our stabilization efforts for our feeding program continue to be effective and go well,” said Maj. Gen. James Hoyer, West Virginia National Guard.

A new police station at Shalimar Backyard within the trans-Hindon space of Ghaziabad will turn into totally operational inside the subsequent two weeks, and the world is likely to get two more police stations soon, in keeping with senior Ghaziabad police officers conversant in the state of affairs.
“The Shalimar Backyard station is the district’s twenty fifth station and will probably be totally operational in a fortnight. We carved it out from the Sahibabad police station. Two new stations at Niti Khand and DLF could also be accepted soon, in keeping with a proposal submitted final yr. We’ve additionally obtained land from varied businesses for these,” mentioned Ajay Kumar Mishra, commissioner of police (CP).
In June of final yr, the division proposed the development of 5 new police stations in Wave Metropolis, Crossings Republik, DLF, Niti Khand in Indirapuram, and Shalimar Backyard, of which two stations, at Wave Metropolis and Crossings Republik, have been in-built November final yr and at the moment are operational.
In response to police, the new Shalimar Backyard police station will serve Shalimar Backyard, Shalimar Backyard Extension 1 and a pair of, A, B, and C blocks of Shalimar Backyard Extension 2, Pappu Colony, Chabbra Colony, Vikram Colony, and Ganeshpuri.

In response to officers conscious of the developments, one other proposal has been made for ten new stations in three zones of the Ghaziabad commissionerate. Additionally they mentioned Ghaziabad might have 35-40 stations by the top of 2023.
“The primary situation is the supply of land for new stations. Our train is ongoing, and we’re additionally trying to accumulate land to assemble infrastructure for new stations. We are going to create a lot of the new stations from current stations. Nevertheless, we would make some from scratch based mostly on points akin to inhabitants wants and crime incidents,” Mishra added.
In response to an evaluation carried out by the Uttar Pradesh Police in September 2015, Ghaziabad district required not less than 66 police stations to fulfill present requirements.
In response to the UP Police Fee’s 1960-61 tips, an city centre with more than 50,000 ought to have a police station. In response to officers, these guidelines will apply as a result of Ghaziabad district is now a chosen metropolitan space.
A new police station is required in rural areas with a inhabitants of 75,000 to 90,000 folks and an space of 113 sq. miles.
A proposal for 21 new police stations in Ghaziabad, together with 13 in city areas, was submitted in April 2017. Among the many proposed city stations have been these in Kaushambi, Niti Khand (Indirapuram), Vasundhara, Surya Nagar, Shalimar Backyard, Tila Morh, Raj Nagar Extension, and Pratap Vihar.
New police stations have been in-built Kaushambi and Tila Morh, in addition to Tronica Metropolis and Loni Border in Loni, Khoda Colony, Madhuban Bapudham, Nandgram, and, more not too long ago, Wave Metropolis and Crossings Republik.

The director of a now defunct internet company has been charged with two counts of fraud dating as far back as 2011, accused of dishonestly obtaining close to $1 million from the business.
According to ASIC, Queensland man Jonathan William Parker created false invoices between September 2011 and April 2012 in a bid to cover his tracks for dishonestly withdrawing $809,208.30 from Freenet Pty Ltd.
In a separate allegation, Mr Parker is accused of dishonestly using a further $140,000 that belonged to one of the business’ investors.
The investigation arose after Freenet was put into liquidation in December 2014.
Its liquidator, Vincents Chartered Accountants, assisted ASIC with its inquiries that led to the charges being laid.
Mr Parker appeared in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court on 4 May 2018, but did not enter a plea to the charges. He was granted bail and will reappear before the court on 6 July this year.

Watering Your Way to Healthy Plants
When you have finished planting your seeds, you should water them to help ensure that they germinate properly. The root systems of your sprouting plants will not be very deep, but they also do not have a big body to store water yet. More frequent but shallow watering is the way to go for now until your plants mature. You should lightly water every day that hasn't had a rain within 24 hours for the first couple of weeks. Gradually you should start to increase, by small increments, the amount of water given to the plants during this time. As your plants mature you can transition to heavier watering every 1-2 and then 2-3 days apart except when there is a heavy rainfall. The best time to water is either very early in the morning or later in the evening while the sun isn't very strong to evaporate it away. Water also beads and the curved surface can magnify light, potentially burning the leaves in full sunlight.
Soil will store water and the mature root system will travel downwards to collect it from deeper in the ground where there are more sources of nutrients if the top layers are allowed to be tapped and get a bit dryer. In general, the shallower the root system of a plant, the more frequently you want to water and the lighter those wettings should be. Some crops like beets can root down over 10 feet in the right conditions and are fine for longer periods without water when this happens. You can tell when your soil is properly watered when it just starts to stick a little bit on your finger if you pat it into the soil. The very top layer of soil will usually appear much dryer than the soil below it. This is natural and beneficial. If that top layer were continually moist, water would percolate upwards to be evaporated by the sun until the whole soil was dry. Do not be worried if the soil appears dry, but check if it is down a couple inches and then decide if it really needs watering. To water while in the community garden, please find one of the watering cans in the shed and use rain barrels or any collected water source that you see first as we are trying to minimize our use of municipal water.

A Place At The Table café is a place where people can pay the suggested donation, pay for someone else’s meal, or pay by volunteering at the restaurant. We are following the One World Everybody Eats’ Model that is growing and almost 50 or so cafes are successful around the US and in Europe. (www.oneworldeverybodyeats.org/) We need your help. As we are months away from opening, we have many expenses that we will soon be paying for. We are working with developers, designers and chefs to design and build our kitchen and our café itself. The kitchen alone will be $50,000-70,000. We have many start-up costs being a new restaurant and paying rent in the fortunate place of Hillsborough that we get to be. Please help us make our dream possible!

One of Edinburgh’s finest acts release their new album in seven days time. Something for the Weakened, Meursault’s third album, is out on the 16th of July on Song, By Toad Records. To read my full review, click the “Continue Reading” button below.
When I first moved to Edinburgh, I knew of only two bands that hailed from the capital – The Phantom Band and Meursault. Their first two albums, All Creatures Will Make Merry and Pissing on Bonfires, Spitting With Tongues, formed part of my soundtrack to the city, and therefore to my ears, there’s something of Marchmont, something of the Old Town, embedded in the fragile sound of their songs.
Meursault have changed since their debut was released in 2009, as has Edinburgh. There’s an air of transition about the city, perhaps due to the possibility that it might be made the capital of an independent Scotland in just over two years. Something for the Weakened reflects that change; not in any political sense, since any listener would be hard-pressed to find nationalist overtones in Meursault’s lyrics, but in an emotional one. Neil Pennycook’s voice has acquired a confident edge, their instruments are played with more urgency, and the whole record feels like a truly finished work.
I’ve listened to the album about a dozen times now; almost to try and make up for the fact that I missed the launch concert at the Queen’s Hall, where they were supported by another favourite of mine, Rob St John. I should mention at this point, before we get into the analysis, the awesome-looking deluxe box set of the album, which you can order online. I includes a t-shirt, limited edition vinyls of the album and associated singles, a limited edition lyrics book, a tote bag, a CD of some demos and some badges.
The album’s opener, Thumb, recalls the heartbreaking rawness of previous records; it’s a simple track mainly featuring Pennycook’s signature howl and his ukulele. In this respect, it feels like a hangover from the two previous albums – whether you consider it a relapse or a recap is up to you – but it provides an excellent stepping stone for Flittin’, a track that was included in the Song, By Toad Album Sampler 2012.
In the press release for the record, Toad mentioned that there was “rather more of a thumping indie-rock… vibe where the big, loud tunes are concerned” to be expected; this song typifies that new sound and without Pennycook’s vocals it might be a track from Arcade Fire’s latest album. Flittin’ (released as a single soon) could be considered the true opener to the album, since it’s on this song that the band throws off their old clothes and shows new colours.
The result of that transfiguration is wonderful, and the two tracks that follow are sublime. Lament for a Teenage Millionaire and Settling (an acoustic version of this is embedded above) are brilliant songs and – dare I say it – are about the closest thing to an anthem that Meursault will probably ever produce.
The fifth track Hole, is a wonderfully sad song, exhibiting the strings which feature sporadically throughout the whole record. This thoughtful, brooding song is then followed by the quiet instrumental Lightening Bolt. But this is a reenergised Meursault – and this moody interlude is uplifted by the loud, expansive Dull Spark. I like this seventh track more than anything else on the record; I like the fast pace, the harmonising on the chorus and the pitter patter piano running alongside it. And I think you can tell that the band enjoys this track; that when the second verse says: “for every dirge I ever heard, there was a simple song of hope”, that this song is a song of hope. (As for dirges, you can find those in their earlier works).
For the last phase of the album, the slow blues of Dearly Distracted lead us on, with an air of finality; again, there’s the familiar mournful vocals next to sparing piano, excellently juxtaposed at the end with a climactic guitar solo and an orchestral crescendo. The perfectly poised Mamie returns to previous lyrical themes tread by Meursault; there are echoes of songs like A Small Stretch of Land in the gaps between words and in the carefully chosen phrases. It’s a welcome reminder that Meursault, having added so much sound and variety to their act, have not lost a newton of their gravity. The album closer, Untitled, therefore represents a marriage of their new elements and the old; of fuller instrumentation and of soul-searching songwriting.
On Something for the Weakened, Meursault have outdone themselves.

Lissos is an ancient city in southwest Crete, near the small village of Sougia. It is the second most important ancient site in Crete, taking into consideration the number of sculptures found by archaeologists, after Gortyna, which was the Roman capital of Crete. Its findings are exhibited in two separate museums in Crete; the Archaeological Museum of Chania, and the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion.
Lissos has been an autonomous ancient town in Crete constituted since at least the Classical era, but with certified surface traces of habitation (pottery fragments) already since the Minoan times. Its peak goes with the one of the most Cretan towns of the Hellenistic era )323 – 46 B.C). It is then reported as a member and seat (with a special gold coinage) of the Oreioi (a political coalition or federation of ancient towns as the geographical unity of modern East Selino district). This federation was allied to Gortyna and played an important role in state relations of the time. Between 279 0 274 B.C. Lissos signed an alliance treaty with Magas, the deputy of Cyrene, brother of Ptolemy II Philadelphus an inscription kelp safe at Lissos. From the conditions of this treaty and the presence of cyrenaic didrachma in coin treasures of the area it is ensued that the federation sent mercenary troops to help Mega’s operations.
According to the coins, the divinity mainly adored was Dictynna, though its temple has not yet been recovered. The spring of healing water, as well as the foundation of the sanctuary of Asklepios (3rr c. B.C.) brought to light by the excavation of N. Platon in 1957 – 1960, made it a reputed sanctuary of the Greek world.
The sanctuary of Asklepios, the God of Healing, contained not only a temple and sacred area but also special rooms for treatment, healing and resting, since the water of Lissos was considered to have medicinal qualities, and it was frequently used to cure many illnesses.
As at other Asklepios sanctuaries (for instance at Epidauros and Corinth on the Peoloponnese), there were hostels for the pilgrims to stay overnight.
Habitation at Lissos ceased during the late antiquity (the early Christian era). In the 7th or 9th c. A.D. though it seems completely destroyed, never to be inhabited again. Still the religious character of the site has been preserved until the Byzantine period (churches of the Virgin Mary, of Haghios Kerekos) and to-day (fete of H. Kerekos).
Except for the excavated sanctuary, plenty of ruins of public buildings, mainly of the Roman period, are sown all over the valley. On this basis the topography of the ancient town may be drafted as follows:
The town is arranged on the basis of the relief of the site and valley with the torrent that cuts its across. On the left hand side of the visitor, after the harbor, the necropolis is located. On the right hand side lays the residential area, while the public operations of the town (mainly the Agora) should be sought in the middle, next to the harbor established. No trace of fortification is preserved as the town, a reputed religious centre, was in no such need. Ruins of the towers of the surrounding summits. No certain traces of the roads or ancient paths have been detected. The archaeological site of Lissos is for its greatest part expropriated by the Ministry of Culture.
The temple of Asklepios:
It was excavated by Prof. N. Platon during the years 1957 – 1961. It had been crushed by enormous rocks that tumbled down from higher, probably because of a strong earthquake. They turned the small Doric building into ruins, thus sealing its content a wonderful collection of Hellenistic sculptures, offerings of the worshippers whose names were engraved on their bases, as well as the statue of god Asklepius himself. An elegant edifice of the Hellenistic period (3d c. B.C.) made of large carved blocks, the temple was well adapted to the rocky landscape; it was entered from east and had a colonnade on the south side. Its entablature bore triglyphs and plain metope panels and the pediments were decorated with relief shields. Hellenistic honorary (“proxeny”) decrees are built in its entrance, while another inscription dedicated to Emperor Tiberius has been discovered among the fallen inscribed stone fragments. Together with a mosaic floor added during the Roman times they witness along-lasting flourishment of the sanctuary. During the early Christian period an attempt to purify the temple has been made (signs of the cross were engraved on the masonsy). A monumental staircase leads to the temple, on the right side of which lies the fountain where the healing water of the ancient source gushes out.

Description of the Walk
Lissos is a very beautiful and peaceful place with interesting remains of ancient civilization. It is worth spending a while exploring Lissos and soaking up its incredibly peaceful atmosphere.
The walk to Lissos is the most popular walk for people staying in Sougia, is relatively easy and does not take too long as it is about 90 minutes each way.
Before you start hiking through Lissos Gorge you should make sure that you have a good pair of hiking shoes or sneakers, as it is necessary for the rugged terrain of the gorge.
Note that nobody lives in Lissos, so it would be suggested to take a picnic with you. We would also recommend you take a bottle of water, a hat, and sunscreen for sun protection.
The entrance of Lissos Gorge is right next to Sougia harbor. A sign points towards the start of the walk.
Whilst passing there, observe the ancient water line which is clearly visible on the cliff about 7 meters above the present sea level. This sudden elevation happened about 1500 years ago in western Crete.
Press on the "boots" for details
At the beginning of the gorge, there is a rock in the middle of the trail, but you can easily bypass it. The gorge goes uphill, but the ascent is not difficult, especially at the beginning. Along the path there are numerous pine trees which provide the precious shade needed during the hot summer months.
Having walked for about half an hour through Lissos gorge, you come across an impressive, characteristic rock. The locals use this rock as a marker as nearly 10 minutes further on, the path splits in two: the path to the right which continues through Lissos Gorge, and the one that branches to the left and goes uphill. This path leads to the now deserted ancient city of Lissos. Turn left at this point if you wish to visit Lissos.
This path up the hills leads through old pine trees to a treeless plateau with great views all around. After ten more minutes walking straight towards the west, you will reach a steep drop with a beautiful view facing Lissos.
Afterwards, the path takes you down into the valley, only a few meters away from the Asclepion temple.
When you decide to go back to Sougia use the same path. Make a note of where it starts so that you can find it easily.
A little bit of History first!

Shigeru Miyamoto is without a doubt one of, if not the most important video game designers within the last 30 years or so, and he's widely credited for much of the success that Nintendo's own games see time and again thanks to innovative and fun game design.
Make no mistake though, when it comes down to the approval process for games in development, Miyamoto means business according to a recent Iwata Asks interview. Such was the case for Intelligent Systems and Vanpool Inc. when Paper Mario: Sticker Star had been in development for upwards of three and a half years.
Development on the game started at the tail end of 2009, and the game that was announced at E3 in 2010 as one of the many titles that would be available for 3DS was actually the first iteration in what would be a longer and more arduous process than most 3DS games usually go through.
The reason for the long development? Miyamoto rejected the team's design several times before it became what it is today. Upon playing a demo of the game after E3 2010, Miyamoto told the development team that it felt like a port of the Gamecube version (which many fans consider to be the best game in the series, I might add).
That meeting ultimately led to the creation of the whole "sticker" concept and thus an entire game based around stickers, even down to the battles. A year later, the team would again present their work to Miyamoto, who told them that it felt too "boring." His counsel and suggestions led them to rework much of the atmosphere while also focusing less on story and more on the Mario world itself.
Ultimately, the end design for Paper Mario: Sticker Star worked out pretty well as our review can attest to, but I will admit I'm a little sad to hear that Miyamoto wanted less emphasis on the story and characters this time around. With all of this in mind, hopefully the next Paper Mario won't take nearly as long to make.

I have installed the downloaded today zerotier on Windows 10 x64. The tray icon always says “waiting for zerotier system service”. I tried deleting authtoken.secret files, reinstalling, changing permissions. No effect.
When i try
C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One>zerotier-one_x64.exe -q join
zerotier-one_x64.exe: missing port and zerotier-one.port not found in C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One
All that i have in this directory is
06/13/2023 12:14 PM 24 authtoken.secret
06/13/2023 10:04 AM 141 identity.public

I don’t see any zerotier network adapter neither. It looks like windows client simply does not work for many reasons.
I see dozens of such topics not resolved and auto-closed after 30 days. I think, 30 days is too fast, it should be 1 year at least.
And it seems that nobody really cares about disfunctioning windows client.
Can you fix it or make sure it works?
Looks like ZeroTier is not running for some reason. You could reboot and it should start. The service is set to start automatically on boot. Otherwise you can go into the service manager and start it manually from there.
This is first time i hear that VPN clients can interfere with each other. Never experienced it. Why zerotier is so fragile? Why it could not create its own network adapter?
Other VPN clients don’t give a shit and work…
Or maybe this is not related to other clients…
The error message, does it mean that zerotier has lost some of its files (or never install them)?
I said it could be another VPN. I can’t say for sure if it is or not.
Another thing it could be is that you said you changed permissions on the ZeroTier folder. This could potentially prevent ZeroTier from writing the .port file in your error message. I recommend completely uninstalling ZeroTier, and also removing the C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier folder. Once reinstalled, permissions will be correct.
OK, I have deleted all the folders, logged in as an administrator, and then it seems to begin working, but not connecting. Probably the problems were related to the inability of installer to install under non-admin user.
The network menu opens and says “Requesting configuration”.
I have already on my home network (behind NAT) one working device. This Windows 10 computer
is a second device, and it cannot connect.
How to configure different default listening port?
I have created C:\ProgramData\ZeroTier\One\local.conf (as the same administrative user), which contains something like:
I have created a port forwarding on my ISP router to that device/port.
Then i have restarted zerotier service on the device (windows).
Then after 1 minute the device came up. I can now ping. And i can access other devices!
Thanks to all.
I totally agree that this problem seems to be being ignored. When launching ZeroTier it briefly shows the ZeroTier icon on Windows system tray for a few seconds, then immediately disappears as soon as I move my mouse pointer towards it. Very frustrating. Looking at competing products.

Robert Pattinson fans recently got a taste of the Twilight Holy Grail when footage from the film Breaking Dawn leaked online. Obviously the studio behind the movie is not happy about it and they’ve accused a 24-year-old Argentine girl of being the culprit.
Summit Entertainment, which produces the Twilight film series, has filed a lawsuit against Daiana Santia and her parents after they traced the leak to her computer. They claim that she hacked into a secure server and stole private images, scenes, and artwork from Dawn, which is set to hit theaters this November.
Part of the reason that the studio’s so guarded about this particular Twilightflick is because it is the final film in the series and, obviously, is chock full of spoilers. Not surprisingly, Santia is denying any wrongdoing and plans to fight the charges.
“I couldn’t do it again even if I wanted to,” Daiana said. “You enter [the site] by navigating, entering by different links. I only saw it, I didn’t distribute it like they say.”

THE KOREAN electronics firm Samsung is to build a new € 400 million factory in Slovakia as part of the first large foreign investment the Robert Fico government has attracted since taking power last year, and the third-largest that the country has ever won.
The Slovak cabinet approved a package of investment stimuli for Samsung's proposed LCD module factory in Voderady in western Slovakia on March 7. The government did not say how much it had offered Samsung to choose Slovakia over its regional neighbours, but Economy Ministry spokesman Branislav Zvara pegged the figure at about Sk2 billion in the form of tax relief and direct subsidies.
The government said the stimuli package met the investor's last requirement for going ahead with the roughly Sk14 billion complex.
"By approving the investment contract the government completed the last of the tasks that the investor had required," said Economy Minister Ľubomír Jahnátek. "Now it's basically up to the investor to sign the contract."
Samsung also announced that it had chosen Slovakia on March 7 in a regulatory filing as reported by the Korean media, and said the LCD module plant would provide it with a foothold in European markets for its flat panel business. Further details were not available at the time The Slovak Spectator went to print.
Economists see the Samsung investment as benefitting the Slovak economy by creating much-needed added value, and by providing greater manufacturing diversity. With three major auto plants now dominating its industrial output and exports, Slovakia has been dubbed 'the Detroit of Central Europe'.
"The advantage of this new investment is that it will be bringing new technology with it," said Tatra Banka analyst Juraj Valachy. "The production of LCD monitors has a higher value added that car manufacturing."
"From the viewpoint of added value, the Samsung investment will be tops in the electro-tech sector, because Samsung will be placing a large portion of its supplier manufacturing in Slovakia," agreed ING Bank analyst Lucia Štekláčová, noting that in this case the total value of the investment could reach 600 million euros by 2010.
Construction is expected to begin on the main plant this year, with production to begin in March 2008.
"The investment could add several tenths of a percent to Slovakia's GDP growth rate, perhaps starting in 2008 in the form of the first investments, and a year later in the form of exports," Štekláčová said.
In 2006, according to Statistics Bureau data, Slovakia's GDP growth rate was 8.3 percent, the highest in the region and the second highest in the EU behind Estonia. The Finance Ministry expects growth of 9 percent in 2007.
Samsung, which already has an operation in Slovakia at Galanta, would create 1,500 new jobs with the new factory project, while the seven Korean suppliers that intend to follow it to Slovakia would create another 4,500 jobs.
With unemployment in Slovakia already at its lowest level since 1998, the jobs created by the new investment promise to further improve employment figures.
However, given that the Korean firm is settling in low-unemployment western Slovakia close to another major employer, the new PSA Peugeot Citroen plant, labour market analysts say it could experience problems finding sufficient skilled labour.
Although some 900,000 people live within a radius of 50 kilometres of the proposed plant, employers in the area are already complaining of problems finding employees.
"Finding enough people in the Trnava region could be a problem given the current situation," said economist Pavol Kárász.
"Samsung will have to look at alternatives and motivate employees in order to find any at all," agreed Valachy.
Samsung's first investment in Slovakia, in a former furniture factory in Galanta in western Slovakia, was worth 100 million euros and now employs 3,150 people. The firm has added the production of plasma and LCD TVs and monitors, home theatres, MP3 players and DVD units to its original computer monitor lineup.
One of the main reasons that Samsung chose Slovakia over other countries in the region was logistics, as the new plant will be close to the D1 freeway and the Senec logistics park, which it could use as a distribution centre.
Trnava Mayor Pavol Tomašovič said he already foresaw transport problems in the region. "We welcome the arrival of Samsung, of that there is no doubt, but we see problems with putting a further burden on the Bratislava to Trnava stretch of the freeway," he said.
The government approved Sk332 million in subsidies on March 7 for the purchase of land for the new plant. Five of Samsung's suppliers will settle within the grounds of its factory site, and Slovak state offices are already studying the environmental impact of the project. Of those five suppliers, the largest is Hansol, which will create 1,800 jobs on its own.
The Hanil Foam Chemical firm will be building a Sk120 million factory outside the Samsung facility, employing 70 people in Šaľa near the Hungarian border.
Samsung also received Sk1.05 billion in incentives from the state four months ago to help finance a planned expansion of its Galanta operation over the next three years. In 2006, Samsung also opened a distribution centre in Galanta for Central and Eastern Europe.
In the first half of last year, output from its Galanta facility made Samsung Slovakia's fourth-largest exporter. In 2006 the factory had a turnover of Sk86 billion.

New Delhi, Nov 7 (PTI) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has held several meetings over the last two days with agriculturists, entrepreneurs and industry experts to discuss possible solutions for disposal of agricultural waste, according to a statement on Thursday.
Over the past few years, Delhi has seen an annual spike in air pollution that can be directly linked to the burning of agricultural waste in the months of October and November in Punjab and Haryana, it stated.
Last week, a public health emergency was declared in Delhi-NCR following an alarming level of pollution, which the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government said was because of stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana.
After the meetings on Wednesday, Kejriwal said it was commercially viable to convert stubble into compressed natural gas (CNG) using technology, a move which will provide jobs and additional income to farmers, besides reducing air pollution.
'Not only is the ecologically friendly means of disposing 'parali' economically viable but also has the potential for massive job creation. All the state governments and the Centre should consider all the options available and work together to ensure that next year such an environmental disaster is not repeated,' experts were quoted as saying in the government statement.
On November 2, Kejriwal had written to Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar, seeking his intervention into pollution-related problems and work on a concrete plan to deal with the issue of stubble burning. PTI BUN KJ

Both heartburn and stomach upset refer to symptoms that often occur after you eat. While indigestion is not really related to stomach acid, a person can experience heartburn like a symptom of indigestion. This is possible to working experience indigestion at any level during your pregnancy, although your symptoms worsen throughout the advanced stages of pregnancy, from 27 weeks onwards. By then, your baby and womb (uterus) will be bigger in size and set additional pressure around the digestive tract.
But Dr O’Connor adds, be careful you do not minimize whole food groups that may provide vital nutrition for baby. ‘Keep a new note of foods that will trigger heartburn trying to avoid them, ‘ states Dr O’Connor.
Hernias and gallstones, for instance , generally require surgery, plus the connected indigestion should resolve post-operatively. Heartburn happens when acidity from the stomach comes back up into the particular food pipe.
“But the woman’s degree of suffering is usually really important to take into consideration. Maternal suffering is not good regarding baby either. ” The particular research shows that if youre taking a PPI to your acid reflux once a new day so you could sleep, the potential regarding harm is very reduced. There’s no harm in using Tums to make your own life a little easier. Tragique says that acid reflux usually goes away soon after the baby is given birth to, so taking something regarding six months to create your own life manageable is not exactly like taking Tums indefinitely for the remainder of your life.
Prevention of the lifestyle cause can frequently resolve the outward symptoms and remedy your indigestion. Most shows of indigestion go aside within hours without health care attention. If indigestion signs worsen, consult a health-care professional. Consult your doctor if there are modifications in your symptoms, or even indigestion symptoms continue or worsen, or if they are accompanied by unintentional weight loss, blood in feces, difficulty in swallowing, or lack of ability to eat due to inferior appetite.
And, even though it’s in your stomach (GI) tract, the place of the burning feels like it’s near your coronary heart, which gives it the name of “heartburn. ” It’s sometimes called acid reflux or indigestion, also. While peppermint can ease indigestion, you shouldn’t drink or eat peppermint whenever indigestion is caused simply by acid reflux. Because peppermint relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter — the muscle tissue between the stomach plus the esophagus — ingesting or eating it can easily cause stomach acid in order to flow back into typically the esophagus and worsen acidity reflux. Peppermint tea is usually not recommended for those who have GERD or ulcers.
For other people, it becomes an issue later on when their bundle is expanding and there seems to be no room for food. But what is usually clear, is the fact that most women will get indigestion at some point in their pregnancy, and it can be extremely uncomfortable and can help to make you feel nauseous plus bloated. Heartburn in being pregnant may occur because of changing hormone levels, which may affect the muscles of the particular digestive tract and just how various foods are tolerated. Maternity hormones can cause the lower esophageal sphincter (the muscular valve between the particular stomach and esophagus) to relax, allowing stomach acids to flow back up to the esophagus. In add-on, the enlarged uterus can crowd the abdomen, pressing stomach acids upward.
Using the advice and help of your doctor, you’ll obtain through it. You may take dealing with occasional stomach upset or heartburn just to be able to enjoy a meal you may have been craving, and that’s OK, too.
THE REASON WHY DO I HAVE ACID REFLUX WHEN I’M PREGNANT??
Pregnancy is certain to increase your cravings in addition to appetite. Be sure you eat somewhat. It will not simply help you to acquire back in shape quicker post pregnancy but will certainly also help with acid reflux. The enlargement of the uterus is another aspect that can trigger heartburn by exerting pressure on the stomach and making the stomach acid to become pushed up (2). When indigestion is brought on by life-style habits, the prognosis is definitely good.
“If your heartburn is sudden, doesn’t go away, accompanies pain in the abdomen or over the particular back, and is really intense with severe pain, contact your health care provider or go to the hospital for emergency evaluation, ” says Martin. Avoid foods that cause a person gas.
Gastroesophageal reflux condition (GERD) is diagnosed any time acid reflux occurs more than twice per week. “If We never eat a Tums once again it’ll be too quickly, ” and other stories of pregnant life with acid reflux. Omeprazole is an acid-suppressing medicine of which is licensed for use in maternity to treat dyspepsia that may be still troublesome despite virtually any lifestyle changes and antacids. Omeprazole needs to end up being taken regularly to work.
Dyspepsia in pregnancy is usually due to reflux associated with acid from the stomach into the oesophagus. In case your symptoms do not necessarily improve after the over recommended diet and lifestyle adjustments are in place, talk together with your healthcare provider about over-the-counter medicines. Antacids can be found as chewable tablets in addition to liquids. They work by coating the lining of the esophagus and abdomen and neutralizing stomach acidity. Heartburn medicines called H2-blockers work by reducing typically the amount of acid made by your stomach.
Yet , check with your DOCTOR, midwife or pharmacist prior to taking anything that they will have not recommended. In some cases, changes to your diet plan and lifestyle may become enough to control indigestion (dyspepsia), particularly if the symptoms are mild. Typically the stomach acid reduces the mucosa, which causes discomfort and leads to the particular symptoms of indigestion. A person may experience indigestion at any point during your current pregnancy, although your signs and symptoms may be more frequent and severe during your third trimester (from week 27 until the birth of the baby). If you are pregnant and you have indigestion (dyspepsia), your symptoms will be the same as those of anybody else with all the condition.

There are a variety of treatments that could help alleviate the symptoms of an upset stomach in dogs. This includes providing a simple diet, including probiotics in your dog's diet, and giving small amounts of ginger or peppermint tea. Medications and supplements may also be recommended by your veterinarian to ease symptoms and treat the underlying cause.
How To Treat Upset Stomach In Dogs
If you're trying to resolve an upset stomach for your pet It is crucial to first identify the underlying reason behind the problem. If your dog is experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, or a loss of appetite, it is crucial to speak with your vet to determine the best course of treatment.
In the meantime, there are some at-home remedies and medicines that can ease symptoms and offer relief.
A great remedies at home for upset stomachs in dogs is to provide them with small, frequent meals of a bland diet like rice and boiled chicken. This can help to soothe the stomach and provide a source of easily digestible nutrients.
Another option is to add an portion of yogurt plain in your dog's diet, since it is a source of probiotics, which can help to balance the bacteria that live in your gut and help promote good digestion.
Drugs that are available over the counter, such as Pepto-Bismol can also be given for dogs, in smaller doses to help ease symptoms of stomach upset and vomiting. But, it is crucial to always consult with your veterinarian prior to administering any medication to your dog.
What To Give Large Dog For Upset Stomach
When it comes to what you can give to a large dog with an upset stomach, it is important to consult with your veterinarian to determine the most effective way to treat. In some instances the larger dog might require a higher dose of medication, or a different treatment method to help ease symptoms.
It's also important to note that dogs that are large may have a harder time digesting certain food items and may need a special diet to keep their stomachs in check and healthy.
The most crucial aspect is to work closely with your veterinarian to discover the reason for your dog's stomach upset and then develop a suitable treatment strategy. By providing the appropriate attention and treatment it is possible to make your furry companion recover and be back to their normal, healthy self in no time.

Bridges Across Beaver Brook in Windham
There are three major crossing points in Windham across Beaver Brook. The Mammoth Road bridge crossing is shown in the two photographs above. The brook also happens to be the town line between Windham and Londonderry. Mammoth Road was a toll highway, built in 1831, that ran from Hooksett to Lowell. On the left the old wooden span has been replaced with a metal bridge. The second crossing, again on the border between Windham and Londonderry was at Kendall Mills. This bridge stood in front of the dam that created Kendall Pond. The two photographs at the bottom show this crossing. The third bridge is located on Bridle Bridge Road. This road, before it was bypassed, was once the main route to Nashua and again was at the border between Windham and Hudson.

I tilted my head up to look at the stars, feeling that strange pull that I always felt whenever darkness came over the earth.
Her dark soul would always call to me, and it was always the strongest at night – when darkness fell over the earth. Her soul – my mate, my other half – was locked inside a human body with no way to escape. She wouldn’t be able to escape until she managed to make the human commit suicide, ruining the human’s soul in the process.
But she never truly escaped. She just got thrown right into the next human’s body.
It was a never-ending cycle, and I could never find her.
The Moon Goddess had done this to Sidero centuries ago when I had failed in my duty as her mate to make her realize she could be good – that she wasn’t evil – wasn’t destructive. But I had failed. I had loved her so much that I joined Sidero in destroying the earth.
Without an ounce of remorse, the Moon Goddess had ripped her from me, sticking her in a random human’s body, and every time my mate had managed to torture that poor human until they killed themselves, the Moon Goddess just stuck her soul right into another human’s body, never allowing me and my mate to reunite.
It was torture for me because every time it happened, I could hear my beautiful mate’s tortured screams as the Moon Goddess forced her into yet another body.
I could never find her. Centuries ago, the Moon Goddess had ripped away my ability to walk away from my pack. I was forever tethered to them – tethered to my duty as their Alpha.
My Beta strode up beside me, looking up at the stars with me. “You know she misses you too, Vulcan,” Apollo told me, his voice quiet as he spoke, knowing that I always felt her strongest at nighttime.
I rubbed my chest right over my heart with the heel of my hand as it began to ache, a feeling of fire rushing through my veins suddenly. I stared down at my arms and my legs. It felt like hot lava was pulsing through me, but it didn’t burn – didn’t hurt me.
It felt awfully familiar, though. Figuring it had something to do with my wolf side, I shrugged it off.
Apollo’s mate, Bellona, strode up beside him. He instantly wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Jealousy seared through my chest, and I turned my gaze away from the lucky couple.
I would never have that again. I had let my mate down, and now we were to suffer until the end of time.
“No!” A woman’s thunderous roar shook the Earth, bringing me to my knees as the ground beneath my feet quivered from the sheer volume of her voice.
A louder, evil laugh shook the ground right after. Suddenly, the Moon Goddess dropped down from the stars with another, larger man dropping in front of her. He was wearing a cloak that was ripped at the bottom, dragging the ground. A large scythe was in his hand, and a malicious grin crossed his face as he looked down at the seething Moon Goddess from his towering height.
The Gods and Goddesses never came down to Earth. The last time it had happened was because Sidero and I had almost caused an entire apocalypse, and they ripped us from each other to save humanity.
I quickly stood in front of Apollo and Bellona protectively, drawing on my power as Alpha so I would be ready if I needed to protect my pack from whatever was about to happen.
“She wasn’t supposed to be released!” The Moon Goddess yelled at the towering man in front of her.
“It is her time, Luna.” He told her. He turned to look at me, his dark eyes swirling with the fires of Hell. My body violently jerked, and I reached up to clutch my head as pain radiated through it, an onslaught of memories crushing me, bringing me to my knees. I growled as my body grew in size, my bones twisting and snapping to reshape me into my towering height as the God of Fire.
“Ah, Vulcan, I see you remember me now.” Pluto teased as I pushed myself up to my feet. My head was pounding, and my body was throbbing from the pain of being forced to shift and grow, to resume my normal shape.
“God, that hurt.” I breathed as I felt the pain receding, looking up to see my oldest friend, the God of the Underworld and the Dead, Pluto – also known to me as Sidero’s father.
“Apollo, Bellona.” Pluto sarcastically greeted them as I slowly rolled my shoulders, trying to relieve the phantom ache there.
I turned to look at my now old Beta and his mate, but they were glaring at me, hatred gleaming in their eyes as they obviously remembered the destruction Sidero and I had caused before Jupiter had wiped their memories, forcing us to live as wolves that were forced to shift every full moon.
Apollo had hated my guts then. We had once been best friends, but I turned my back on everything that wasn’t Sidero to keep her happy – to keep her with me.
Because that evil entity inside of her would rip her from me otherwise, and I wouldn’t lose my mate. When my memories had been ripped, so had my memory of Sidero’s darker entity. For centuries, I had been forced to believe that my mate was solely responsible for everything that had happened.
But she’s wasn’t. It was whatever evil thing had found a home within her.
I turned away from them, looking around the clearing that I was standing in, rage surging through my veins.
I wanted my mate.
This was also one of the reasons my memories had been buried. I was destructive without her.
“Where is she?” I thundered, fire erupting as the Earth split with my rage.
“Your beautiful Sidero has been released from her vessel,” Pluto told me, trying to calm me. He’d seen the destruction I had wrecked for Sidero – to please her – to keep her with me. He knew I would do it all over again if I did not get my mate soon.
I glared at Pluto. “That does not answer my question, Pluto.” I snarled at him.
He inclined his head behind me. I spun around to face my other half – Sidero. Her black hair floated around her shoulders down to her waist, those lovely, gray eyes begging for destruction as they met mine. She was Pluto’s only child, and the moment I had laid my eyes upon hers, I had fallen in love with her. Her feelings had been the same, but her need for destruction had been even greater. Something in my gut told me that had not changed.
But I would not lose her again. I would not allow Jupiter to put us through this a second time. I would keep her with me.
Luna had locked her away in a human body to rip us apart from each other, and Jupiter had wiped our memories of who we really were when I had failed to save her soul – to bring out the good that I knew she could be.
Instead, Sidero had ruined me in the most beautiful, destructive way.
“Save her this time,” Pluto spoke quietly from behind me. “You are her only hope, Vulcan. Do not let her be ripped from you again. Do not make me lose my daughter again.”
I could only hope that I would be successful this time because last time, I had loved her too much to make her unhappy.
Maybe this time I could love her enough to save her – to save us.

The Hindu has been forced to shut down after a blog post calling for an end to “misogyny” against women, was shared more than 4,000 times on social media.
In the post, a founder of a new non-profit called Women of Courage and an activist who had been instrumental in the campaign to fight rape and sexual assault on women in India, wrote: “If there is a time to take back our women’s right to autonomy, it’s now.
It’s time for the entire feminist movement to unite in our fight for equal rights for all.”
The post was shared on Monday and was shared almost a million times.
A senior executive of the organisation told The Hindu that the post was not written in a vacuum.
“It was not a ‘post from the heart’ in the sense of the phrase ‘I am a woman and I want my voice heard’,” she said.
“We had been working for years on this issue.
We were part of the movement, we worked with many organisations.
We had to take it to a larger scale.””
This post was written by a woman,” she said, referring to the founder of the new organisation.
“And the only way this can be corrected is for the whole movement to come together.”
The post has triggered an online backlash, with women’s advocates and activists from across the country condemning it as misogynistic and offensive.
“We will not allow women to be raped.
We will not tolerate violence towards women.
We have already started.
We are not stopping.
Our fight is not over,” tweeted social activist and founder of Women of Justice, Sanjeev Dhillon.”
It’s not even the first time that a woman has spoken out in a sexist way about women’s issues, it is the first one that has been called out as misogynist,” he said.
“We have had a huge number of people from all over the world who are taking the opportunity to call this out on social networks and write to us, saying that this is not acceptable,” he added.
In response, the organisation on Monday announced that it had removed the post from its website and will “make an apology for the harm we have caused”.
“We apologise for this mistake and want to set the record straight,” it said in a statement on Monday.
“As an organisation, we have a long history of being vocal on issues of gender inequality and injustice.
This has not been something we were prepared to do at this time, and we sincerely regret that.”
The Women of Freedom campaign was launched in February 2017 and aims to end gender-based violence against women in Indian society.
In its statement on Sunday, the campaign claimed that women’s voices have been silenced because of fear of retaliation.
The women’s activist said: “There is no room for any kind of impunity for perpetrators.
We cannot be silent for anyone and we cannot be intimidated.
We must act, we must speak out, and not let silence hold us back from making a difference.””
Women have to do their part to fight back.
We want the entire movement to work together,” she added.


MIL OSI Translation. Region: Russian Federation –
The demining group of a special purpose unit of the Southern Military District (YuVO), stationed in the Rostov region, destroyed the ammunition of the Great Patriotic War, found in the Suvorovsky microdistrict of Rostov-on-Don.
The application for demining in the compound came through the military commissariat of the Rostov region of the Southern Military District.
The dangerous find was discovered during construction work. The arriving experts of the mine clearance group classified the ammunition as more than 17 artillery high-explosive fragmentation shells of 76-mm caliber during the Great Patriotic War. In addition, not far from the site of the first find, two more wartime ammunition was found – a 152-mm artillery shell and an 82-mm mortar mine.
Dangerous finds were removed and taken to the range of a motorized rifle unit, where they were destroyed by an overhead charge.

An intrusion detection system (IDS) can be one of the most important elements of your organization’s overall commercial security strategy. It is almost impossible to perform a manual inspection of all your organizational data for potential vulnerabilities and intrusion threats. This is where the need for a burglary detection system comes into play.
With 24-hour surveillance and real-time feedback, burglary detection systems ensure that your access control systems are not compromised.
Types of intrusion detection systems
Penetration detection systems fall into one of these five types:
- Physical monitoring. Commercial video surveillance systems Monitor the areas around your commercial property and ensure their safety. These systems can be paired with video surveillance solutions to track user activity.
- Host monitoring. Host monitoring systems can be used to monitor devices and machines used by organizations. These systems locate suspicious behavior due to internal factors and from devices and machines attacked by malware.
- Network monitoring. Network intrusion detection systems can be used to track incoming and outgoing traffic on a network or server.
- Signature-based detection. Signature-based intrusion detection systems can be used to identify patterns and signatures of attack behavior as previously noted.
- Anomaly registration. Anomaly detection systems can be used to track attacks from multiple sources at once. Unusual behavior is often the key to such attacks.
How intrusion detection systems work
It is important to note that burglary detection systems help identify unusual traffic and alert IT teams via alarms so that they can take the necessary steps in the event of a system attack. They do not help prevent potential attacks. They measure daily operations relative to the baseline and send alerts to security operations centers, making it convenient for security experts to detect suspicious activity.
Typical features of intrusion detection systems include:
- They monitor features of firewalls, files, key management files, and routers.
- They provide 24 × 7 support to IT teams.
- They help arrange various audit trails and logs.
- They trigger an alarm when a security threat is observed.
- They block the servers immediately when suspicious activity is detected.
How burglary detection systems can help
As hackers continue to develop tools to attack systems, intrusion detection systems have become a must-have for organizations. They provide a wide range of benefits to organizations. These include:
- Monitoring of all incoming and outgoing network activities
- Registration of intrusion signals
- Sending alerts in case of suspicious activity
- Recognition of various security incidents
- Examination of frequency and types of security attacks
- Identification of errors and issues related to the configuration of network devices
- Checking data in the operating system and network
- Provides centralized commercial security management
- Ensuring that multiple access points are secured everywhere
- Development of customized analysis and reporting on health in systems and networks in organizations
- Delivery of 360-degree safety endpoint control
How to find the right burglary detection system
As you have already seen in the first section of this post, you can find five types of intrusion detection systems on the market. However, you should choose the best solution in relation to your organization’s security needs. Make sure you thoroughly assess and evaluate the following factors when looking for a suitable intrusion detection system for your organization:
- Security alarm monitoring options: Check if the burglary detection system comes with a wealth of alarm monitoring options, e.g. Door alarms (inputs and outputs), window alarms and alarms at all other possible entry points. Also check if the system includes beams, motion sensors, glass break sensors and more.
- Security access codes: Make sure the intrusion detection system contains unique security codes that make it convenient for your employees and you to manage it.
- Security system access and display options: Ensure that the intrusion detection system is provided with multiple access and display options, e.g. The ability to access the system using a PC or smartphone application.

With the ongoing spring season, a number of multi-coloured flowers around the Capital city’s roads and its nurseries had become a key attraction for commuters where residents in large numbers are thronging nurseries to buy plants to enhance the beauty of lawns.
Spring season starts from February in Pakistan and is considered one of the most ideal weather for growing plans and flowers, said a worker in H-9 nursery while talking to news channel. Colorful flowers adorn nurseries and roads which was attracting to plant lovers towards themselves, said a resident. “With the start of this season demand for indoor and outdoor plants, flowers, bulbs has been tremendously increased and surprisingly youngsters and old age people are taking a keen interest not only in traditional gardening in homes”, said a resident.
Horticulture exhibitions and Jashn-e-Baharan festivals are also helping people and nature enthusiasts closer to the beauty of nature, said a worker in Jasmine Garden Islamabad.
A commuter in the park commented that my daughter is quite amused after seeing so many different kinds of flowers here in spring, especially alongside the roads of the capital city.
A student said that apart from beautification, flowers and roses in this season are a great source of recreation and entertainment for the residents.


The Spanish cycling federation on Monday cleared Spanish cyclist Iban Mayo, who tested positive for doping during the 2007 Tour de France, after a second test proved negative, his lawyer and the federation said.
The federation informed Mayo "that the B sample had come out negative and for this reason it had ended" its inquiry, Mayo's lawyer, Jose Rodriguez, told AFP.
The cycling federation confirmed the news and said there had been a mistake with the first sample.
Mayo, a specialist climber, tested positive for blood-booster EPO during the Tour on July 24 and could have been suspended for two years if his B sample had proved positive.
The online edition of sports daily Marca quoted Mayo as saying he had gone through a bad period but "everything has turned out as I expected."
He finished 16th in the Tour. His team, Saunier Duval, suspended him without pay while it awaited the results of the test on his B sample.
It is not the first time that Mayo has been implicated in a doping case. In June he was suspected of having failed a test for testosterone, the banned male sex hormone, during the Giro d'Italia. He was later cleared by the UCI, which decided he had not breached any doping rules.
Makes me look at the whole doping problem a little different.
