Rationally, all premature death is tragic, and equally so.
For example, during the last week, 106 Americans lost their lives to gun violence, including 12 children. In one instance a three-year-old shot himself, in another, a four-year-old shot a six-year-old. Shouldn't those deaths, or all 106, be a national news and national tragedy? What about the 30 people killed EACH DAY by drunk drivers? Should we lower our flags to half-staff for them or only for those killed “more tragically?” Don’t they deserve a moment of silence in congress? Rationally, they all should be the same. But mentally, I just don’t feel that way and I believe that most of my fellow Americans similarly don’t feel that way.
I struggle with why, in my mind, one death seems to mean more than another death. Or perhaps it isn't about the loss of life at all, but rather about the loss of liberty, the shattering of innocence, in which a slice of Americana dies that we can never get back.
Obviously, Newtown was worse than Boston. In fact, to me personally, Newton may have been worse than 9/11. I just can’t imagine anything worse than 20+ elementary kids being killed execution style. For some reason, there’s a need to categorize this as a terrorist attack, or something else, as if that will give it more meaning. Maybe if the origins are bad enough, we'll start another $3T war. I hope not. I guess I don't understand how we all felt equally energized to spend $3T on a war to avenge the 3,000 that died on 9/11 but we aren't all equally energized to spend $1.5B requiring that all cars have a Breathalyzer you must blow into before the engine will start ($100 per 15M cars sold annually). Presumably that would save 10,000 lives a year and cut driving deaths by more than 25%. Isn't a family killed by a drunk driver just as tragic?
But back to why are some tragic deaths different than others. Would Newton be a bigger deal if there was better video? If it was a bomb instead of a gun? Are bombs just scarier? Is 9/11 such a big deal because we’re pissed about the buildings as well as the dead people… if it’s just about those who lost their lives, then we should be really upset about the 31,672 people who died in 2010 from guns**, shouldn’t we? Yet we undertook $3T in wars due to one, but do nothing about the other. And I understand that, I feel pissed about 9/11 much more than I am about random gun violence... but rationally should I? I don’t think so…but I feel so. This tragedy is huge from a mental standpoint, but “only” 3 people have died…twice that many die in car accidents in NYC every week. So why do I care about these 3 people?
Maybe we feel differently about events like Boston because they feel “preventable” but as we know from car regulation, drunk driving awareness, and from gun statistics, those types of death are preventable as well.
What’s interesting to me is listening to one of the trauma Dr’s talk about the events of the day. “We were prepared, we deal with trauma every day.” To them, while the number of people they saw may have jumped, they actually do this stuff all the time. The rest of us only see these large, videotaped events, and not those tragedies that do actually happen every day and are equally tragic.
This directly relates to a similar feeling we all have, the fear of dying in a terrorist attack. We think about it often, especially when flying. Yet even if there was a terrorist attack every year in NY that killed 100 people, you’re still much more likely to be killed in a car accident or homicide in this city. So, why don’t we fear those possibilities more?
I literally think about the terrorist possibility, no matter how remote it actually is statistically, to the point that I emailed my wife about it last week. “If I die in a big national tragedy, don't allow politicians or anyone who doesn't know me to attend or speak at funeral/memorial.” This was the rational part of my mind trying to overcome the irrational possibility that is so statistically unlikely I shouldn’t be thinking of it. The rational side doesn’t want my tragic death, after an easy life of luxury, to be “dramatized” when I rationally know I’m not that important. Rationally, there are more tragic things in this world than a guy who’s had quite possibly the luckiest and easiest life ever, dying early. . . Like the 800 million people in the world that have no access to clean water. That’s a FUCKING tragedy.
I’m not exactly sure what point I’m trying to make here but let met summarize. . .
1) All tragic death is tragic
2) Some tragic death matters more than others
3) I don’t know why

DEL TÁLERO DE PLATA BOHEMIO AL DÓLAR MUNDIAL (‘From the Bohemian Silver Thaler to the Worldwide Dollar’) is an exhibition held by the Museum of East Bohemia in conjunction with the University of Pardubice at a Mexican university – the Institute of Art at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo in the city of Real del Monte. The location of the exhibition is closely connected with the topic of the exhibition; the region was renowned for its silver mines, which in the Early Modern era made a huge impact on the global silver trade – and thus also on the development of thaler currencies.
The exhibition presents the emergence and development of thaler (tolar) currencies in 16th-century Europe – starting with the large silver coins minted in Jáchymov (Joachimsthal) in 1520, which were known as Joachimsthalers or just thalers (after the town’s German name) – a name which eventually came to refer to all coins of this general type. It has been designed as a travelling exhibition, and it consists of panels featuring photographs and galvanoplastic copies of rare historical coins – created by the museum’s restorer Michal Vojtěchovský using rare original coins from the museum’s collection as models. The exhibition presents the museum’s extensive numismatic collection, which currently numbers of 50 000 items.

What the heck is pre-visualization? This term was first popularized in the early 20th century by some of the great landscape photographers shooting their beloved large format view cameras. Changing environmental conditions and the fleeting moment required these photographers to have an exacting knowledge of the behavior and magical alchemy of light, lens, film, filter, process and print. It was always about the print. While setting up and exposing a single sheet of film they knew exactly what the end result would be when they pressed the shutter release.
Many people are familiar with the story behind Ansel Adams’ famous “Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico”. Adams saw the scene, saw the moon and loved the light. Getting out his gear he couldn’t find his light meter but knowing the brightness of the moon he set the exposure on his large format camera accordingly and exposed one of his most beloved photographs. He was a technically experienced photographer and through the process of pre-visualization he knew what he wanted and how to get it.
Some of the most admired and respected photographers in history came from disciplines other than photography. For example, Edward Steichen was trained as a painter, Paul Strand had first been a film maker and of course Henri Cartier-Bresson was a painter and sketch artist. Cartier-Bresson maintained that he never stopped drawing and that his ubiquitous Leica was an instant sketch pad. The point of all this is that these great photographers were visual thinkers, experts in non verbal communication and used the photographic medium to speak their particular language. Their artistic instincts, experience and training prepared them to look at the structure of a scene, the light and geometry and whether or not it was worthwhile pressing the shutter. It’s not an easy thing to do well.
If you find your photographs lacking, spend time looking at and learning from the masters, study the structure of their images, look at their interpretation of light, line, and rhythm. Cross train, pick up a pencil and draw something you see, write, let your creative juices flow.
Next time you start to press the shutter, take a moment to pre-visualize and ask yourself these questions. Does everything inside the frame contribute to the strength of the image? Is there anything I can do differently to improve the light, or geometry of the image? Contemplate what you are trying to say and ask yourself if the image would speak for itself when printed and framed on your wall.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Thyssenkrupp (TKAG.DE) is in talks with Kloeckner & Co (KCOGn.DE) over future cooperation in materials trading, but is not exploring a near-term takeover of the metals firm, three people familiar with the matter said.
FILE PHOTO: A logo of Thyssenkrupp AG is pictured at the company’s headquarters in Essen, Germany, November 21, 2018. REUTERS/Thilo Schmuelgen
The chief executives of both companies have been talking regularly for months, the people said, adding that discussions are open-ended and may not produce any concrete results.
Shares in Kloeckner & Co soared 14.2% on Friday, boosted by a report in German business daily Handelsblatt that cash-strapped Thyssenkrupp is in talks to buy the group, raising its market capitalization to 552 million euros ($611 million).
Thyssenkrupp shares were up 2%.
The three sources said a takeover of Kloeckner & Co, which would have to be made public under German capital market regulation, was currently not in the works. Thyssenkrupp and Kloeckner & Co declined to comment.
One of the sources said while an outright takeover of Kloeckner by Thyssenkrupp was unlikely, if both were to agree on a deal at some point it could take place via a swap, under which Kloeckner would take a minority stake in the combined business.
Thyssenkrupp is banking on the sale or listing of its elevators division to bring in badly needed funds to finance the ailing conglomerate’s turnaround.
It has suffered in recent years from a weakening economy, a structure seen as too complex and dwindling investor faith.
“It’s strategically difficult for Thyssenkrupp to sell their lucrative elevator business in order to buy into struggling steel trading also as the economy seems to be near a peak,” a Frankfurt-based trader said.
Kloeckner & Co, whose shares are trading at decade lows under pressure from weakening industrial demand in Germany and abroad, has for years been the focus of speculation on a possible tie-up with Thyssenkrupp.
This has mainly been driven by CEO Gisbert Ruehl, who as recently as three weeks ago said he was regularly meeting with Thyssenkrupp boss Guido Kerkhoff and would be open to taking a minority stake in Thyssenkrupp’s materials trading division.
Kerkhoff, under pressure after a fourth profit warning on his watch sent the group’s shares to a 16-year low, has put a deal to buy Kloeckner & Co at the center of a turnaround plan he is working on, Handelsblatt said.
The report also said that Thyssenkrupp was considering buying smaller steelmaker Salzgitter (SZGG.DE), sending its shares 2.2% higher.
Thyssenkrupp in May unveiled a major restructuring, effectively looking for partners for its business divisions, including Materials Services, where it could sell a minority stake to a strategic partner.
Thyssenkrupp Materials Services, the conglomerate’s biggest unit by revenues, had sales of 14.65 billion euros in the last financial year, more than twice Kloeckner’s 6.79 billion.
So far, Kerkhoff has struggled to gain traction on his strategic initiatives even as Thyssenkrupp’s financial health deteriorated, narrowing the scope to be acquisitive and raising pressure to liquidate assets, say analysts.
“Thyssenkrupp has its hands full finding a buyer for its elevator division. Buying Kloeckner is not going to fix its problems,” one of the people said.

I saw Holly at Nut Free Nerd do letter post to a book she read recently on her blog and really liked the idea of writing about a book that way, so I decided to give it a try with one of my recent reads, THREE DARK CROWNS by Kendare Blake.
Dear THREE DARK CROWNS,
Man, I feel like I have been seeing you recommended by everyone forever for YEARS now and honestly I don’t know why I haven’t read you before now? I know I don’t usually go for series anymore because I have terrible series amnesia, so maybe it’s good that I waited to read you until you were a completely published series, because I don’t think I could survive without the next books in it for long.
GODDAMN, I can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on reading you for so long. You are such a dark story, about three sisters who are destined to fight to the death until only one of them remains to become queen, and your author, Kendare Blake, does NOT shy away from the potential for darkness and goriness that that premise brings. You are a super FIERCE story and honestly I still don’t know who I want to become queen (although I think Mirabella can go; she’s messing with my favorite ship too much).
Even though I guessed one of your major twists within the first three chapters, you still kept me on my toes for the whole book. I loved each of the three settings and learning about all the politics of each one, and getting to know each of the sisters in turn (except Mirabella. I never liked that bitch). And even your side characters are amazing; I love Billy and Arsinoe’s friendship, and Katharine’s weird whatever vibes with Pietyr (can I still ship them after that ending? I mean, DAMN).
It has been so long since I’ve felt the need to buy a second book in a series IMMEDIATELY after finishing the first one, and so long since I’ve felt this invested in a story, so thank you for putting more excitement back into my reading life. I seriously have not been able to stop thinking about you since finishing that final sentence.
I can’t wait to read ONE DARK THRONE and see how much more twisted this tale is bound to get.

We all love our furry companions. They’re a part of our family and lives that we never think of them solely as pets. If something bothers them, whether it’s growing old or creating stress symptoms, we’re concerned. Non-psychoactive cannabinoids, like CBD, can aid in the recovery process, relieve stress, and even improve sleep. Dog owners can select from a wide range of dog CBD products, along with a CBD tincture, treats, capsules, and topicals such as salves and balms.
Where to buy CBD oils for pets? In this article, we’ll look at 8 hemp manufacturers and help you in finding the right CBD company oil for dogs. You’ll know that these companies and their fabulous CBD pet tinctures are the best choices for your beautiful pet’s wellness once you’ve read about them.
What is CBD Oil for Dogs?
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a substance found in the cannabis plant and hemp. CBD oil for dogs is extracted from the hemp plant’s flowers and leaves. CBD, among the most popular cannabinoids observed in hemp, is non-psychoactive and is thought to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates homeostasis or the general state of balance. CBD may positively impact mood, sleep, appetite, hormone regulation, pain sensitivity, and immune response to chronic inflammation.
How to find the best CBD oil for your Pets?
CBD oil for dogs contains not only CBD but also other important cannabinoids naturally found in full-spectrum hemp extract. This contains CBC and CBG. Terpenes like limonene, alpha-pinene, and beta-pinene are also found in full-spectrum CBD oils. The entourage effect is created by cannabinoids and terpenes working together.
There are several ways you can extract CBD: ethanol, solvent, or CO2. CO2 extraction extracts oil from plants by using carbon dioxide. CO2 applies pressure to the hemp in a high-pressure chamber. This extraction method yields CBD oil with a higher concentration. That implies your dog’s health will benefit from this supplement more.
A Certificate Of Analysis:
A certificate of analysis is a document that indicates the amount and type of cannabinoids present in CBD pet products. COAs protect your dog from low-quality and quantity CBD products, and each batch of hemp should have one. If there isn’t a COA on the company’s website, you should request one before purchasing any CBD oil.
Check Ingredient Lists:
The majority of products are made with either full or broad-spectrum CBD. However, some contain CBD isolate. Examine the CBD type used in the product. Artificial sweeteners, harmful chemicals, preservatives, or essential oils should not be present in CBD oil for dogs. CBD products are also available in various doses, so select the one that is appropriate for your dog’s size and condition.

How can we best support and encourage one another? How can we, ourselves, have courage in the face of adversity? In the book, Lubna and Pebble, Wendy Meddour and Daniel Egnéus offer many opportunities to consider the answers to these questions. The opening image is that of a boat, which leads into a child peering at a shiny, smooth pebble.This pebble may bring about ideas of a “worry stone” or other special item. The important role that this pebble plays is pivotal to the way that this story transpires. It is a friend and comfort to those that hold it.
Explore the “land of tents” and those that “arrive in the night” as well as the supporting illustrations to get a sense of immigration or refugee status in a new land. Many conclusions can be supported through this wonderful and touching book.
The importance of a comfort item is explored throughout this story as the pebble crosses hands across the arrivals of newcomers to a land. The “Pebble” becomes a friend and comfort to newcomers to a land.

Happy Wednesday, dear Tech Take readers!
It’s been a busy couple of days between the election and some big M&A announcements.
As many may wonder how the outcome of the presidential election will affect deal activity going forward, Marc Cooper, CEO of investment bank PJ SOLOMON, remains optimistic on M&A resilience.
“We believe that the election results will have a limited impact on M&A activity, with the fundamental driver of deal-making being the economy which we continue to be bullish on over the long-run, regardless of who is ultimately elected President,” Kooper said in a statement on Tuesday.
Do you agree, readers? Why or why not?
I came across this term just recently, but turns out, the intersection of death care, or funeral arrangements, and technology has commanded PE interest for a while now. One major participant in this category is Providence Equity, which has at least four active investments in this sector. One of them, Tribute Technology, has just traded hands.
Providence Strategic Growth has signed an agreement to sell the software-as-a-service platform for funeral arrangement services to Carlyle Group and Vista Equity, I learned this week.
Over the weekend, Clearlake Capital unveiled the largest tech take-private of 2020 with its $3 billion acquisition Endurance International Group Holdings, a cloud provider for small- and medium-sized businesses.
Endurance is another play on the digitization trend that has accelerated through covid-19, offering Clearlake a new platform to build upon in the cloud space.
“The company outperformed expectations during covid – they are benefiting from smaller- and medium-size businesses wanting more of a cloud presence, wanting more cloud services, wanting more customer engagement and communication with the customers digitally,” a source familiar with the deal said. “They are hitting all the right trends that benefit from the move online.”
That’s all from me for today.
With any tips, comments, suggestions, or just to say hello, write me at email@example.com.
Correction: This report has been updated with the correct spelling of Marc Cooper.

I didn't know ...

A short beach walk allowed us to be terribly British - trouser legs rolled up, handkerchiefs knotted and we paddled in the North Atlantic.

Victor Jiang says tony Cabbagetowners want his business out of the neighbourhood. And the cops seem to be listening to residents' complaints about vagrancy and drug deals allegedly going down on the premises. Now his liquor licence is in jeopardy.
Some 50 Ontario Coalition Against Poverty supporters staged a solidarity sit-in Saturday, January 20, at the restaurant, a favourite haunt of the disenfranchised. Jiang says he's tried to deal with problem patrons without much help from police. "I'm just trying to run a good business here," he says.
Police say they've met with Jiang at least three times to help him with problem customers, but they still receive complaints from neighbours about drugs and dealers.
According to Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) documents, Jiang has been cited a handful of times for liquor licence infractions. Cops have reported drunkenness on the premises, found a customer with a bag of pot and busted up a crack deal.
Staff Sergeant Frank Bergen of 51 Division says any establishment where criminal activity takes place "has to be accountable for that activity as well as be a part of the solution to it."
OCAP organizer John Clarke tells a different story. He says it's yuppie homeowners who are chasing Jiang's eatery and other businesses catering to low-income people out of the area.
Doug Fisher of the Old Cabbagetown Business Improvement Association makes no apologies for going after places residents perceive as problems, but says the issue is not one of rich versus poor. He claims that Jiang's patrons harass passersby and steal from local store owners.
Area Councillor Pam McConnell seems to be on the residents' side on this one. She points out that other Cabbagetown restaurants frequented by low-income people don't have the same problems. "If you're going to be an office for the drug dealers, we're not going to support you," she says.
The AGCO heard testimony from local residents, Toronto police and Jiang last month and is expected to rule on the matter February 7. Clarke says OCAP will fight any decision to revoke Jiang's licence.
Says Clarke, "This is about more than the Cabbagetown Restaurant. This is about whether poor communities have a right to exist."

Government sources in South Korea told the Yonhap News Agency that transporter erector launchers carrying ICBM launch tubes in North Pyongan province have been moved by North Korea.
Speaking anonymously, a US defense official said if a test was to go ahead it would be of either an intermediate-range missile or North Korea’s ICBM – known as a KN-20 or a Hwasong-14, and would take place ‘probably’ today as North Korea celebrates Victory Day – the 64th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement.
State-run news agency Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that North Korea has threatened a ‘merciless’ nuclear strike ‘at the heart of the US’ if Kim Jong-Un’s regime is threatened by America. Kim is pictured on July 4 after the test-launched of the Hwasong-14 ICBM
The threat was reported Tuesday in response to comments made by CIA Director Mike Pompeo (pictured) last week. He said Trump’s administration needs to find a way to separate the country’s Supreme Leader from their nuclear weapons
Experts assessed it could have put Alaska in range, bringing Pyongyang’s long-held dream of a missile that can deliver an atomic warhead to the United States within reach.
A South Korean government source told Yonhap: ‘Movements by transporter erector launchers carrying intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch tubes have been continuously observed in North Pyongan.
‘There is a high possibility that the North may carry out (the test launch) around the July 27 armistice day.’
A second US defense official confirmed the fears, adding: ‘They’re setting up for something.’
If the launch goes ahead, it would be the second time Pyongyang has tested an ICBM after its July 4 rocket launch.
State-run news agency Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported a threat to strike the US on Tuesday in response to comments CIA Director Mike Pompeo made last week.
He said Trump’s administration needs to find a way to separate the country’s Supreme Leader from their nuclear weapons, CNN reported.
Pompeo said: ‘As for the regime, I am hopeful we will find a way to separate that regime from this system.
Though he did not say that the administration was actually working on that, KCNA said the comments are ‘over the line’.
According to KCNA, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesperson said: ‘The DPRK legally stipulates that if the supreme dignity of the DPRK is threatened, it must preemptively annihilate those countries and entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it, by mobilizing all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones.
‘Should the US dare to show even the slightest sign of attempt to remove our supreme leadership, we will strike a merciless blow at the heart of the US with our powerful nuclear hammer, honed and hardened over time.’

Sinopsis de: "Emily And The Ransom"
A businessman is kidnapped. The kidnappers leave no trail. Months pass without the police having a lead. Emily, a precocious 16-year old girl who has a volunteer job at the local police station where her father is a detective, gets involved in the investigation. In the cruel atmosphere of a cat-and-mouse game, Emily tries to piece together a picture of the kidnappers and where they might be hiding. Before long, she is deeper involved than she ever thought possible. Emily's Dad teaches her the psychology behind kidnapping and terrorism. During a series of phone conversations with the victim s wife, the kidnapper reveals information that, by Emily s interpretation, enables the police to identify who the kidnapper is. Yet, he remains elusive and everyone s patience is tested to the limit. The story intensifies when Emily has to make a life-or-death gamble during the chilling negotiation about the ransom, and it comes to a climax when she uses herself as bait to nab the kidnapper. Besides the plot itself, the underlying theme is Emily's personal development and growing independence as she faces new challenges.

HOUSTON – During a school board meeting Thursday, Houston ISD unanimously voted in favor of the superintendent’s mask mandate for the 2021-2022 school year.
On Wednesday, HISD Superintendent Millard House II told KPRC 2 that the school board supported his decision to mandate masks for students and staff at the beginning of the school year.
On Monday, House voiced his concerns about students wearing masks as the number of COVID-19 cases rises due to the delta variant.
House had been following data closely, and during last week’s agenda meeting, he asked HISD’s Board of Trustees to take a risk and vote on re-instituting a mask mandate.
The first day of school for HISD students is August 23.
The mandate will go against Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order, which prevents governments and schools from requiring facial coverings.

The Zurich-based cloud computing start-up Optimyze has been able to finalize its product development and announce market launch this year. This has been made possible by a pre-financing round in which the Zurich firm has raised 3 million US dollars in total. According to an article on startupticker.ch, this was led by one of the world’s leading venture capital firms, Andreessen Horowitz (also known as a16z), which is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California.
The cloud computing start-up develops software that helps companies to track and optimize their use of cloud resources. According to the information available, it is able to show exactly where unnecessary costs are being incurred, which is in contrast to existing solutions available on the market. According to Optimyze, this leads to greater efficiency, saves money and improves margins.
As reported by Business Insider, this is the first time that Andreessen has invested in a European company at the foundation phase. The company holds assets worth over 11 billion US dollars. It has supported major companies such as Facebook, Stripe, Instacart, Airbnb, Lime and Slack.
“a16z has great infrastructure, an exceptional team and a wealth of experience in the enterprise market that we are aiming for”, comments Thomas Dullien, Co-Founder and CEO of Optimyze, in the press release. After Dullien sold his start-up to Google, where he worked in the research team for the Zero Security project until 2019, he founded Optimyze together with Sean Heelan. The start-up currently comprises five people from across the world, with two new employees expected to be hired by June to increase the team size to seven.

Extra resources for Adiabatic Shear Localization
The development of shear bands was determined by microscopy and finite element simulations of the compression/shear specimen. Pursche  and Pursche and Meyer  examined different quenched and tempered steels with different heat-treatment conditions with a hardness range between 300 and 600 HB. The propensity of adiabatic shear failure of the materials was determined with the bi-axial dynamic compression/shear test. 24). Under static loading, both tempering conditions can be deformed to the prescribed deformation limit without failure.
30). Pak et al.  also used this technique for investigation of 4340 steel in a high-hardness condition. Bai et al.  conducted tests to explore the micro-shear fracture characteristic of explosive-driven cylinders for AISI 1045 steel, TiÀ6AlÀ4V and a tungsten alloy. They found deformed as well as transformed bands in AISI 1045 steel and titanium alloy and no adiabatic shear bands in the tungsten alloy. Sunwoo et al.  conducted explosively driven cylindrical expansion tests on AERMET100 steel in the as-received and heat-treated conditions.
A critical loading velocity of 26 m/s to initiate shear bands were found, which is close to Rosakis’s value. Further Special Tests Shear-Compression Specimen Test The shear-compression specimen (SCS), invented by Rittel et al. , uses a configuration in which a compression and a shear loading act simultaneously. 54). The determined failure strains are dependent on specimen geometry and on the material properties, as stated in Rittel et al.  and Wang and Rittel . The radii of the notch are important for the results gained.

After you’ve toured the sights of Madrid, why not take a day trip to a couple of Spanish towns which have played a significant role in the country’s history.
On arriving in Madrid, I’d planned to see a few of the sights and then head to Toledo and Zaragoza over a couple of days – using Spain’s capital as a base.
But after talking to a very helpful staff member at the recommended Way Hostel in Madrid (free churros for breakfast, enough said!), I swapped Zaragoza with Segovia and I’m glad I did.
Segovia is located north west of Madrid and has one of the most impressive Roman aqueducts I’ve seen (the other one is the Pont du Gard in France’s south near Nimes). It’s extremely well preserved and is the first one I’ve seen smack bang in the middle of the town centre in Plaza Azoguejo.
The aqueduct is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and according to UNESCO’s website, dates back to circa 50 B.C.
The aqueduct spans more than 800 metres, impressively made of large granite blocks laid without mortar.
The tourist office is right next to the aqueduct – you can’t miss it – and they’re very helpful in telling you where to access the city’s viewpoints, most for free or for a minimal fee.
For a small town, Segovia has a lot to offer and is a hidden gem in my opinion. I’d never heard of it before coming to Madrid.
From the aqueduct, walk up the stairs to the left and you’ll find a great viewpoint of the aqueduct as it extends through the old town – and it’s free.
Segovia is a city surrounded by medieval walls. The gate where you can climb up on the city walls isn’t very well marked, but if you find the small tourist office (follow the signs), it’s right near that. You pay a euro to enter at the tourist office and they will give you a code to enter the gate to the walls.
Segovia also has a great Gothic cathedral built in the 16th century and Alcazar (fortress/castle), both worth a look to at least to see the exterior. The Alcazar was destroyed by a fire in the 1860s, but was later rebuilt and is unique in its current look.
I didn’t give it a try because it was a bit beyond my budget, but if you’re looking to splurge on food, look for restaurants serving roast suckling pig. This is the town’s traditional dish and according to the guy at Way Hostel, is delicious.
Segovia is easily reached from Madrid by bus. Buses leave at least once hourly from the bus station adjacent to the Moncloa metro station. Tickets are €9 each way. You can also go by train but the bus is more regular and cheaper. The direct bus takes about an hour to the Segovia bus station, which is only a five minute walk to the centre of town and the aqueduct.
Toledo seems to be the go to day trip from Madrid due to its rich history. There are lots of tours offered to Toledo, but it’s also easy to make your own way there.
Toledo is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and once served as Spain’s capital before Madrid was given the honour. It has a number of influences in its buildings such as Muslim, Jewish and Christian – all of which are visible throughout the town in its historical buildings, gates and walls.
The tourist office is located in the town hall building, adjacent to the cathedral, if you want to pick up a map and find out the must do sites in the town.
The highlight of the town is the dominating Gothic St Mary cathedral, built on the former site of a mosque; and the Alcazar, which is now an army museum. There’s also the monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, and the town’s two bridges are worth taking a look.
Toledo is one of those towns you can’t really get lost in and it was easy and rewarding to wander through the streets and see what I came across on the journey.
Toledo is also easily accessible from Madrid and is well served by train which takes an efficient 30 minutes. Trains leave from the main train station Puerta de Atocha every hour and cost about €20 for a return trip. The train station is accessible by metro.
You can buy tickets to Toledo prior to the day of departure. Tickets can also be bought on the day but be mindful that the trains are small and have allocated seating so tickets sell out quickly. Buses are also available but train is the fastest and more regular option.
The train station in Toledo is located a couple of kilometres from the centre of town, with part of the way up a hill. No problem if you’re young and able, but if you don’t want to walk, there are some local buses or a taxi. I walked, and yes it was steep, but it took about 20 minutes from the train station.
The bus station is only slightly closer to town, and is also located at the base of the hill leading to Toledo.
As for places to stay I only did day trips from Madrid and didn’t stay in Toledo and Segovia and there’s probably no need unless you’re a history buff and keen to spend a bit of time at each of the historical monuments.
I’ve been to Madrid on two occasions and can recommend Way Hostel and U Hostels.
Both are convenient near metro stations and have spacious rooms, great staff, and offer plenty of tours such as tapas bar crawls, Saturday night pub crawls and free breakfast.
Way Hostel has free churros and U Hostels has a choice of either churros or cereal.
If you’re looking for a quiet hostel, go to U Hostels – it has multiple levels and the location is quiet at night. If you’re looking for more of a party vibe, go to Way Hostel. It’s a bit smaller but right in the centre of the action and has a great vibe. It can get noisy outside on weekends though.

1710 VALLEY GREENE RD PAOLI, PA 19301
- 4 Beds
- 4 Baths
- 2447 sq.ft.
The town of Paoli grew around an inn kept in 1769 by Joshua Evans, whose father bought 500 acres (200 ha) from William Penn in 1719 near the current site of the Paoli Post Office. Evans named his inn after General Pasquale Paoli, a Corsican, after Paoli had received the 45th and final toast at a Saint Patrick's Day celebration. The inn's location on the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, about 20 miles (one day's drive for a horse-drawn wagon) from Philadelphia, contributed to its success.Wayne's development began when a railroad stop called Cleaver's Landing was established. It was renamed Wayne Station after General Anthony Wayne. Wayne extends into both Tredyffrin Township in Chester County and Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County. The center of Wayne was designated the Downtown Wayne Historic District in 2012

How to Banish Bad Habits
This type of behavior (saying mean or disrespectful things) comes from one of two sources thinking errors that lead to a bad habit of disrespectful behavior or an expression of ambivalence toward one's parents. While the approach to dealing with it is the same, it is useful to understand where it is coming from. Bad habits often come from thinking errors that your child has been allowed to hold. These include
Assign the parents to list any of their current habits that may negatively affect the pregnancy, delivery or future health of the child (e.g., an unhealthy diet, use of hot tubs or saunas, taking over the counter medications) and brainstorm methods of replacing the negative habits with healthy behaviors.

Fix “Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed” Error on Mac OS X
Some Mac users may encounter a stranger wi-fi issue where the wireless menu icon has an “X” in it, and the wi-fi dropdown menu says “Wi-Fi: No Hardware Installed”. Since we’re all dependent on wireless networking these days, having no functioning wi-fi connection can be very frustrating, but fortunately this is usually a really simple fix.
Typically if you experience this problem, you’ll see the ‘Wi-Fi: No hardware installed’ message after waking a Mac from sleep, rebooting the Mac, or sometimes after installing a system software update. It can happen on any MacBook, MacBook Pro, Air, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and virtually any other hardware, though MacBook users are usually the first to notice it given the propensity for wireless networking usage with Mac laptops.
The 2 Step Solution: NVRAM & SMC Resetting
The trick to resolving the wi-fi hardware not installed error is usually two parts; you’ll reset the SMC and reset the NVRAM as well on whatever Mac that is displaying the problem message in the wireless menu. This two-part troubleshooting method works on every Mac and every version of Mac OS X, so it doesn’t matter which model or OS version you are experiencing trouble with.
Since resetting SMC is slightly different on each Mac, first we’ll cover resetting the NVRAM which is the same on every Mac model.
NVRAM: For all Mac models with Wi-Fi No Hardware Installed Error
- Reboot the Mac and immediately hold down Command + Option + P + R keys together
- Continue holding all Command+Option+P+R keys until you hear the Mac reboot sound again, then release all keys concurrently
When the Mac boots back up, pulldown the wi-fi menu again. Is it working? Is the wi-fi menu no longer showing the “X” and “No hardware installed” error message? Is it looking for networks? Then you’re good to go.
If you still have problems and still see that error message, you’ll want to continue on with resetting the SMC which we’ll cover next.
SMC: For newer MacBook, MacBook Pro models with internal batteries
If you have any newer model MacBook with a non-removable battery (basically anything post-2010 model year), this is how you reset the SMC:
- Shut down the Mac
- Connect the MacBook to the MagSafe power cable and an outlet so it is charging
- Hold Shift + Control + Option + Power buttons concurrently for about five seconds, then release all keys together
- Boot up the Mac as usual
When the Mac boots up you should no longer see the “X” in the wi-fi icon and wi-fi should work as usual on the Mac.
SMC: For older MacBook models with removable batteries
If you can take out the battery on the MacBook yourself, then resetting SMC is a bit different:
- Shut down the MacBook and take out the battery
- Disconnect the power cable, then hold the Power button for about 5 seconds, then release the button
- Connect the battery again and boot up as usual
If the wi-fi works, join wifi as usual and you’re good to go.
SMC: For iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini
- Shut down the Mac and disconnect it’s power cable
- Press and hold down on the Mac power button for about 5 seconds
- Release the power button, re-attach the power cable, and boot the Mac as usual
Wi-fi working now? Great!
Still seeing the “Wi-Fi: no hardware installed” error on the Mac?
If you reset the Mac NVRAM and SMC and you still encounter the “Wi-Fi: no hardware installed” message in the dropdown menu in Mac OS X, you may have a physical hardware problem with the computer in question. Usually this means the network card has failed, has become disconnected, doesn’t exist (as in, it was manually removed), it’s a third party external wi-fi NIC model that needs different drivers, or perhaps even the Mac had liquid contact and has suffered some form of damage. In any event, if it can’t be resolved with the methods outlined above and it’s not a software wi-fi issue, you’ll likely want to make a trip to the Apple genius bar or official call center.
Did this work to get your wi-fi working again? Let us know your experience in the comments.
Many thanks. There is no need to be running OS X.
I found that the NVRAM and SMC methods described here work well on macs running Linux as the base operating system.
Thank you so much. The SMC-reset worked well. For me a computer without internet i basically useless
Oh my god thank you soooo much. My internet just all of a sudden did this and I had no idea what to do. I’m a student and can’t afford another laptop, mine is a Mac Pro and I don’t even remember how old it is, I’ve had it since middle school. Classes already started and I was so anxious I just would not be able to get it back on again. You’re a lifesaver
Hi I tried all of these ways to get the wifi to work again still not working. Any other options available?
Thanks a lot for this!!! This was a Godsend. Cheers!
Thank you so much!! This laptop is my life since online class started and I almost broke down in tears when I can’t fix the wifi. I hope you have a wonderful day!!
I love you M8, magic!
Thanks a lot mate. This worked like magic
Thank you!! This is amazing!!! The SMC reset worked for my mid 2010 macbook pro!! NVRAM didn’t fix it.
I was struggling with “no wifi hardware found error” since about a year now, and was managing internet through irritating USB / bluetooth tethering all this while.
Thank you so much, for such a simple fix.
Cheers, glad this resolved your wi-fi hardware error on the Mac!
No,did not work for me. I’m just going to throw this computer away and get a pc
HOLY SMOKES! IT WORKS!! YOU GUYS ARE A LIFESAVER!!
I just bought this used 2011 Mac Pro and I thought it was a total lemon. Now it runs perfectly, thanks to YOU!!
The NVRAM didn’t work, but the SMC worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
OMG! THANK YOU!!! I have been dealing with this issue all summer! Why doesn’t apple disclose this in that freakin on line manual???? Thanks a million!
It worked! Thank you!
thankyou so much you saved my life :’)
Thank you thank you thank you.
My mac has problem with Hotspot and Im confuse of this…
My phone is Samsung S8 and Im using Mobile data and share it with my mac wit Hotspot. And problem is there when I connect wifi to hotspot everything become slow and apps open with delay…
I have tried different ways, Activity Monitor about cpu, memory and network is all normal…
but whole system become slow, And when I just turn off wifi or disconnect it, every app that stuck in loading, open Instantly and no delay and lags on Os…
Thanks a lot. The SMC method worked for me. Thanks again!!!
doesn’t worked :(
Bluetooth works, but not my WiFi.
This trick didn’t work.. If Bluetooth is working, shouldn’t WiFi be working too?
same problem in the hardware diagnostic it says “no hardware issue” but after booting the wifi not installed, why?
The information is very useful
Superb!Worked all the time I’ve tried it
Thank you for this very helpful page and clear instructions. Worked for me veey easily (macbook pro 2017).
Many thanks “the Reboot the Mac and immediately hold down Command + Option + P + R keys together” worked a treat. Cheers.
I tried every suggested fix. The wifi problem occurred with a Macbook Pro 13inch 2011. Nothing worked except reseating the wifi cable. It may have gotten lose from all the micro vibrations during all these years.
How to find and disconnect the wifi cable is clearly described on the website of iFixit:
Maybe in some cases it will be necessary to replace the cable or even the wifi bluetooth board. Somewhere I saw you can even get a 2012 wifi bluetooth board and it will work. (newer bluetooth protocol or something)
You are the best man … it’s worked for…deffenetly it will work for everyone…..
Thanks so much for this advice. Been struggling for a while
The first method worked for me. Thanks a lot!
The second one worked for me too!
Thank goodness! The second one (Shift + Control + Option + Power buttons) worked for me. Twice now. It’s on a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (10 years and still running!) with OSX El Capitan 10.11.6.
I’m getting worried lately because the machine seems to be developing a habit of freezing, shutting down, and rebooting with the “Wi-Fi: No hardware installed” error… at least I have this fix now, but hopefully this isn’t a sign that it’s just flat-out ready to die…
Thanks for the useful article!
Same problem when I m going to connect wifi there is written no hardware install pls help me to fix
Mustak, here is how you can solve this no wi-fi problem it is an article discussing how to fix the “wi-fi no hardware installed” error and it works for you https://osxdaily.com/2016/07/11/fix-wi-fi-no-hardware-installed-error-mac/
I suddenly got it on my MacBook Pro mid 2012. I tried everything, nothing worked.
But this is how it worked for me:
1. Go to library
3. System configuration
4. Delete the following files:
a. Network file
b. WiFi file
c. Preference file
5. Restart your Mac.
It should be working. If not, try everything else cuz 99% of time it is a software issue.
I had the same problem and after spending an hour on the phone with Apple, buying an ethernet adapter and all that jazz. Nothing worked. I literally decided to shut off my computer, turn it on again and right after press and hold the “option” key. This is what I was doing:
And it worked! Hope it helps someone else.
1. Power off
2. Power on
3. Press and hold Option
Thanks so much! Had the same error on my MacBook air 2018 and the first reboot fixed it! Thanks a lot!
I tried every solution stated above and still can’t get it to work. I have no issues if I hardwire into my router but no WiFi or Bluetooth. Any further suggestions?
I had this problem and tried the solutions, but nothing worked. I’m not sure if I tried them right.
I was resigning to having to get it checked but once the laptop run out of battery, it restarted and it was fixed!
This page saved my life. Thank you for the information.
i have macbook pro 2012 , i have same the problem i use all the solutions but not work plz help me
Worked perfectly. Thanks so much
Thank you for the help. The SMC trick for newer models fixed my problem!
GUYS, FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!
I’M USING A MACBOOK PRO 2012. SIMPLY SHUTDOWN THE LAPTOP. START IT UP AND IMMEDIATELY PRESS COMMAND R, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO RECOVERY MODE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO WIFI FROM THERE, IF NOT, USE THE DISK UTILITY REPAIR/ FIRST AID OPTION. RESTART YOUR MAC ABD YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much …this is a game changer
GOD BLESS YOU.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Im on 2010 model macbook, and the Shift + Control + Option + Power Button worked to fix the problem.
I cant thank you enough!
I had been dealing with the wifi working, then going off with the error (no wifi hardware installed); I could sometimes turn the computer off and start it up again and the wifi would be back for an hour or so… then, out again.
I tried pretty much everything I read on this and similar pages short of changing out the wifi device.
Then I came across the fix.
So the wifi device has a few plugs, and ribbon wires are plugged into the the wifi device. The plugs hang down from the wifi device – but they are securely connected, or at least they should be.
But every time you set your computer down, you create a micro shock or vibration that works against the plug. My computer is a 2011 model, so this has been happening for several years. Well, over time, the plug becomes loose – so that it has a tenuous connection to the wifi device. And this is what makes the wifi sometimes “exist” and other times be “not installed on this device.” In fact, the computer is reporting an accurate error – as there is little difference between unplugged hardware and non-existent software.
The fix is super simple: just unscrew the bottom of the MacBook and unplug and re-plug the wires into the wifi device. Presto – your wifi will work like new. No problems, no need for new hardware, and no need to reboot SMC or other things.
There’s probably no chance you’ll se this, but I’ve tried just about every other solution without success, and yours sound plausible. Can you tell me where exactly the wifi device and its related wires are located?
For what its worth, my issue ended up being software-related. After doing the nvram and smc resets with no luck, I realized a few files could be regenerated. Followed the directions here to delete /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ NetworkInterfaces.plist preferences.plist preferences.plist.old com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Restarted, and voila!
Thank you ! Worked for me
This worked amazingly well! Thank you! Very simple instructions to follow. ☺
The NVRAM reset worked for me! Praise Jesus! Thank you!
Glad this helped resolve your wi-fi problems on the Mac, you’re welcome!
Great! it worked for me!
There was no specific mention of MacBook Air so I tried both fixes on my roughly 2013 machine. I am really untechie so I am not sure I did them correctly but neither worked. I just spent three hundred on a microsoldering repair because the machine pulled ambient moisture inside. I have never spilled on this new to me gift. However I spent the last two months in the woods where it rained so often our laundry would not dry. The local repair person asserts that moisture like that can be drawn in to the workings of the laptop. I am going to have to take my computer back to him because i need WiFi – of course. Thanks for sharing ideas
You are a genius. Thank you.
The NVRAM reset solved my No WIFI
problem. I encountered problem this after installing
the latest OS 10.14 (Mojave). High Sierra was running
beautifully and I wondered if this OS should still be in
BETA ? Seeing this article it became clear that this
can commonly happen after loading a new OS.
Thanks; I really appreciate the advice.
I have an iMac late 2013 and a Mac Mini late 2014 and neither one of them are showing the fix to enable WiFi.😣😣😣😣
In case anybody is still facing this issue. I FOUND THE FIX!
The issue is with the firmware most probably.
I was having the same issue and tried doing everything mentioned in the article to no avail, took it to apple store and they said it’ll cost about 300 EUR, I told them to shove it inside their buttocks!
Now, coming to the solution.
Try installing this driver, it is from a third party vendor but works!
It totally fixed my system.
If you are working with more than one OSX version, install it for everyone individually.
Apple genius, my a**! They are so incompetent at their work, its ridiculous. Saved myself 300 EUR!
tried that link.. it’s broken ?
I’ve been trying to fix this issues since forever, went to service center I didn’t get proper answer, apple products is becoming thrash these days with lots of problem and issues. I’m getting rid of Apple now. Steve Jobs gone so does apple. Feeling frustrated !
Hi! My problem is that the SMC reboot works, but I still have to do it all the time. Seems like I reboot and then after a while it will disconnect from the WiFi again and say no hardware installed, with the ‘X’ and everything. btw I have a MacBook Pro late-2011, Any ideas?
Love you. This just happened on my MacBook Air and I was freaking out. The SMC after trying a few different times. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude this is amazing, I love it so much, I tried reinstalling my pc, then also the Time machine back-up, nothing worked and I lost my music also, then I came across this thing.
NVRAM fixed it real quick and also my laptop is not lagging at all, it is just amazing.
It worked like a charmed, you little beauty. Mine is a 15” mid 2010 MacBook Pro. Still going strong.
Thanks Issue resolved with given solution
I have a 2011 Mac book pro, these both didn’t work but I tried repairing permissions in disk utility with a reboot and it worked !
Thank you! I was having this issue on my MacBook Pro and the second solution did the trick. :)
This is unbelievable. No one knows how to reinstall a driver on Mac? A bad Linksys driver destroyed my MacBook Pro networking. No one knows how to re-install the factory driver? Seriously. I’d have this fixed on Windows in two minutes.
There is no “reinstalling drivers” process in Mac OS, that’s not how the Mac works. There are no drivers, this isn’t Windows. Instead, the Mac supports its included hardware (only Apple makes Macs remember) directly in the operating system. For third party hardware components, third party software is used.
If installing some junky third party software component ‘destroyed’ your networking, then restore from a backup, or reinstall MacOS system software. You can do that without formatting, just reinstall the OS.
First step didn’t work, but second step did..Thank you!
I was having the same issues on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 15″ for a long time.
As mentioned on several forums I thought it was the wi-fi card that broke and I got a new wi-fi card from the internet, also went for one that had Bluetooth 4.0.
After installing the card and enabling continuity it worked for a short period of time, until it all started showing the same thing – “no hardware installed”.
Tried the NVRAM and PR resets without success, until I disabled System Integrity Protection to enable continuity. Enabling SIP again got me into trouble once more. As soon as SIP in Enabled, it gives me the “no hardware installed” error. Not ideal, but since disabling SIP everything has been working again as it should…
Setting csrutil disable and back to enable solved my problem. But i think it’s not the ultimate solution. It might be a battery problem.
Thanks man it really worked for me really appreciate it 😊.
Thank God u saved my life! My life!
I normally don’t comment on this stuff but thanks this was a life saver it worked !
Tried using SMC reset, didn’t work out as well. I was still getting ‘No Hardware Installed’ error.
Then tried NVRAM reset and the error message was gone and Wi-Fi started working as before.
Thanks for this quick fix.
NVRAM reset worked for me! thanks!
This is for anyone for whom the SMC reset didn’t work: I tried these resets over and over again without any success, when suddenly I realised that the issue was my Bluetooth connection. I went into my networks folder via system preferences and saw that my network was connected to “Bluetooth PAN”, not wifi. Once I deleted this from the list entirely and created a new wifi folder (using the plus sign) it all worked perfectly again. This may be a very rare issue unique to my situation but I thought I’d flag it just in case it’s helpful to any of you. Good luck!
You’re my favorite and a lifesaver!!!
I could kiss you! THANK YOU!!! It worked!😃
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 😊❤😊❤
The SMC reset worked for me. Thank you!!!
Does anyone have a permanent fix for this issue? It happens intermittently on my MacBook Retina, early ‘15. Maddening. I’m running High askers 10.13.1 and it just happened today…
My mid-2010 Macbook Pro has lost wifi capability. Changed Airport Card, SRC, NVRAM, etc. Nothing. Wifi won’t even come up when trying to add location. Genius bar said because my Mac is from 2010 that it is “too vintage” to work on and won’t even look at it. Extremely frustrating. I can connect via ethernet, but it won’t allow me to do any diagnostics. Every 10th or so NVRAM reset, it will work for 5-30 mins before kicking off again for no reason. Says it’s still connected to Wifi, although obviously not. Then it won’t allow me to turn Wifi back on. Stuck in off mode. Reset and shows either “No hardware installed” or just blank without ability to turn on. Thoughts?
I’m having the same problem.
I’m having the exact same problem. High Sierra on MBP 2010. It will work for 5-30 mins before kicking off for no reason. Says it’s still connected to Wifi, although obviously not.
Then it won’t allow me to turn Wifi back on. Stuck in off mode.
If anyone knows the fix…I’ve tried deleting the sys config files and it fixes it for a small while.
My configuration MBP 2010 6,2 and 10.13.6
Exactly the same issue. Have not found a permanent fix yet and have tried all of the above with the exception of reseating the WiFi cables, and deleting Bluetooth PAN. They are next on the list. A friends MBP 6,2 that I also installed an SSD (Crucial) in it over Christmas (same hardware as mine), has also started having the same issue. Now, I “could” have unsettled the WiFi cabling, so that is my next targeted investigation. It could be the Crucial SSD, or its or MacOS’s TRIM function, or indeed it could be the Bluetooth PAN firmware. Needs further investigation. Problem has been ongoing for 9 months.
AM STILL TRYING BUT CANT GET IT FIX. CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE
Thank you so much! This worked for my MacBook Pro
Thank you soooooooooo much. Thought hardware issue and was without wifi for a year… fixed immediately…..
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I had this problem with a mid 2012 MacBook pro. Apparently the cable connecting the wifi card to the logic board can become loose, so I opened up the back and pressed all of the connections.
So far it has fixed the problem.
Ifixit have good tutorials on replacement of the wifi cable. Follow the same steps but instead of replacing just push the cable back into the connection.
These fixes worked for me the first few times, but the problem was recurrent (every time I closed the screen on my Mac) and they stopped working.
The thing that did work for me and some may find helpful (found on another help board): for users who use a lot of different wifi networks in different places, the list of saved networks becomes very long and the wifi is likely to crash going through them all each time. So I went to System Preferences –> Network –> Advanced and deleted most of the networks I joined once while travelling and will likely never use again. This seemed to work for me.
I just did the SMC reset and it WORKED ! didn’t think it would … I’m impressed ! thanks so much
I just did the SMC reset and it WORKED ! didn’t think it would … I’m impressed ! thanks so much
Lifesaver! Worked 2nd on second attempt with steps 1&2. Thank you
I have tried every suggestion above and also from all commenters. I have a macbook mid 2010 edition. This computer even went back to the Genius desk for a repair on the display (main board replacement for a flat fee during 2014, i can’t remembr the price) ; after 1 year, the display’s issues became worse (streaks of lines appearing at the bottom of the screen, and edges of the screen collapsing inside, all very weird; it appears like a kaleidoscope). Have 2 iphones 4 and 5S with lots of issues too. Had 2 ipod nanos, also useless now due to batteries being dead.
Meanwhile at the office i have been using a HP Probook Core i3 for 5+years at 8-10 hours per day….and NEVER had any issue with it!
You know what!? I have had it with Apple and their overpriced garbage!
None of these resets worked for me. I even tried all the steps from the comments and still nothing. Called Apple and tried the resets with a rep and nothing. Took it to the Apple Store to find out it’ll cost me $147 to fix, the cost mainly being the labor! I’ve only had my MacBook for a year and a half. The fact that my machine, which wasn’t cheap, for NO good reason has stopped working kills me.
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro 15 inch and the control option p r method worked for me. I was ready to go to the Apple Store and have them fix it. thank you so much
None of the methods worked for me either. I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13″. The last thing I remember doing was running CleanMyMac 3?
none of the methods worked for me I’m mac book pro late 2013 retina 13″
The no hardware issue happened ironically when I reset the nvram before reading this post.
resetting the SMC did however fix the issue.
I reset the NVram previously, and that’s when this no hardware issue came up.
I reset the Nvram as suggested, that didn’t work, but after resetting the SMC fixed the issue.
I’ve had my Mac for about 2 years, and it only just started having this problem. I fixed it before using all the steps at the top of the page, but now it keeps happening over and over. What usually ends up fixing it is shutting it down for the night, and then when I restart it in the morning, it’s usually fixed but whenever I turn my Mac off and restart it o have the same problem or it will just shut my wifi off randomly while I am using my computer. I am wondering if my computer is at the end of its life because people have told me that macs usually last for about 2 years (or maybe more) before they start having problems and you have to get a new one. So that might be the real issue
I’ve been trying them several times but it didn’t work. Anyone pls help me!! It’s been a week and i need internet for my work :(
These fixes worked then they didn’t. Permanent fix for me was to get an $8 Edimax USB WiFi adapter. 2.4 GHz only, but better than nothing. Others are available for more.
Interesting thing is that built-in WiFi continues to come back sporadically. It will work for a few days, then stop.
None of these fixes worked for me, but deleting my NetworkInterfaces.plist file did.
1) click on the finder
2) click on ‘Go’ (top menu) -> ‘Go to Folder…’
3) copy and paste this into the field (minus the quotations) ” /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration ”
4) find and trash NetworkInterfaces.plist
Shift control option power worked like a charm! Thank you!
Thank you much sir SMC worked for me my Mac Pro is of late 2008 with removable battery. My hat to you
How can u do a software update without internet connection? Do I need an Ethernet cable? It says I can’t connect to App Store.
Great tip, forgot all about that from my powerbook days. It started up when I upgraded my RAM to 8Gb on my 21.5″ iMac 2009.
So far so good.
worked like a miracle on the iMac, thank you!
Had the same issue with no wifi hardware found and no solutions worked except the very last one I tried. Unplug the Power cord from the back of the tower, hold power button for 10-15 seconds, reboot and it should be ok! Good luck
My MacBook Pro does this all the time and I’ve tried everything off this website to fix it and it normally works but it’s not this time and it’s been like that for 4 days I need my laptop with internet badly but nothing is working! How do I fix it??
Worked like a charm . Thank you for the great tip.
Worked with the NVRAM! You guys are the best ♥ Thought I’d have to go and get a new Mac!
I had the same issue, and I ended up resolving it by:
1: Installing all the software updates
2: Safe reboot (Go into system preferences –> start up disk) and Safe (hold shift)
3: A normal restart, this fixed everything.
Hope my comment helped!
How do you install software updates if you can’t connect to the internet?
Wifi no hardware error on my MacBook pro early 2011. Tried all the resets and nothing worked. Finally repaired permissions from disk utility and rebooted and it worked.
Tell me in more detail what this means? (repaired permissions from disk utility)
Describe your actions
Hi guys, none of these things worked for me.
At the beginning I had the “No hardware” message, then I reinstalled the mac (shifting from Yosemite to Sierra) and the problem persists. So I bought a wifi USB dongle (Sitecom AC450) and it still doesn’t work (apparently it’s not fit for Sierra, but that’s just one comment in one forum). It sometimes works when I just re-start my computer but sometimes it just crushes down again and I fall again in deep depressing despair…
Anyone any help? Would be life saving!
NVRAM restart worked for me first try! Thanks.
lifesaving tips! Fixed it in like 60 secs! Thank you!!!!
Neither worked for me. I left PC for this nonsense!? Not happy with Apple these days.
how did your problem end today?
My MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) has this problem. I used the shift, contorl, option and power thing and it works fine… but the problem happens on and off, sometime while im working and suddenly it stops and i have to do this processs.
What is the solution?
same exact model and problem, and the fix mentioned only helps temporarily. I have stopped relying on my MacBook to actually do work. One work around, if I really need to use it, is that I plug my iPhone into it and use the USB connection to tether the internet to the MacBook (I think that is the right terminology). You have to do it before the wifi actually disappears or it will never recognize the USB connection. Hard to believe my MacBook is almost useless.
Tried the SMC and NVRAM on my early 2015 Mac book air and still doesn’t work. Oh man, I think I’m dying.
This hasnt helped at all still same problem
Tried the NVRAM and it fixed it..!! Gongrats & many thanks!!!
None of that work it actually deleted and WiFi of WiFi diagnostics selections off my macbook
Great tip – fixed the wi-fi issue in 5 min.
Had the same problem with my 2009 mac pro, the SMC reset fix it. Hope Apple patches this soon.
Tried all of that. Still not working. Strangely, it works in safemode.
Same here, How do you solved?
Had problem with the no hardware for wifi. Airport Extreme card Mac Desktop Pro
The SMC reset fixed it!!!
So happy to get advice that actually worked😃
I’ve had this problem before on my 2010 MacBook. One time, a simple reboot fixed it. The other time the permissions on some kexts had gotten messed up and it couldn’t find the hardware until I did a permissions repair in Disk Utility.
Had this once before. It fixed it.
I had a similar issue on a i5 2011 Mac mini running El Capitan. SMC and NVRAM resets did not help. I even dismantled the whole thing to see if the Airport card is connected properly. Nothing.
And then, there was a OSX software update and voila. Came back to life just like that.
I suspect I messed up my system with using Continuity Activation Tool
It seems that running any available combo update could also theoretically help, so maybe it’s a good idea to try this insead of waiting for another OSX update or reinstalling the whole system.
I’ve had the ‘no wifi’ problem appear after installing a software update on Mac, reset SMC fixed it.
I’m getting more and more problems with Mac these days, and many with iPhone too.
Im having the same problem, but how did you get your Mac to update if you couldn’t get internet access? Ethernet??
bro how u update software without wifi…
you can install HoRNDIS drivers and then use USB Tethering option on your smartphone to use phone’s internet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions.
What does the WQA certification as a Master Water Specialist mean?
My house has a private well. Should I have my water tested?
Yes, private well water should be tested by a certified lab periodically to confirm that it is safe to drink. There are a number of parameters most labs can test, depending on how much you wish to spend and if there are specific contaminants you are concerned might be present.
If you are thinking of purchasing a water treatment system, it might be prudent to have a certified lab test the water before spending money on a system. This is to enable you to evaluate your needs in a comprehensive manner.
Read more on our blog at Lab Testing of Well Water.
My house is on a municipal water supply. Should I have my water tested?
Possibly. While the municipality tests the water to confirm it meets the EPA standards, the water quality coming out of your tap may not be identical to what was sampled. In some cases, the samples are taken at the plant before the water travels through the distribution piping. Also, there may be some parameters that you decide to have tested that are not measured by the municipality.
Can arsenic be removed from my water?
Yes. Generally, you will find arsenic in water in two forms: arsenite, which can be expressed as As+3, or arsenate, which can be expressed as As+5. When you get a lab test, the results show the total amount of arsenic present in the water. Some labs can perform a speciation test to measure the distribution of As+3 versus As+5. Regardless of the distribution, the test provides only a snapshot of what came out of the faucet at the time of sampling.
What causes a chlorine taste in our municipal water?
Chlorine helps to ensure that there are no harmful bacteria in the water. Municipalities frequently add chlorine to the water before it leaves their plant and travels through the distribution piping system eventually reaching your home.
If you want to remove the chlorine taste from your water, consider a carbon filter. It is generally very effective at removing the chlorine from the water either at the point of entry (POE), where the water enters the home, or at the point of use (POU) such as the kitchen sink.
