Ten Things We Learned From the Patriots 30-14 Win Over the Jets

FOXBORO — The Patriots continued their two-week glorified preseason in the AFC East with a 30-14 victory over the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
New England's defense became the first unit to not allow a touchdown in its first three games of the season in the Super Bowl era.
[arve url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6QrG-H0rw8″ /]
And the 105 total yards they allowed on Sunday were a new Belichick era record.
In the first three games, the Patriots defense was on the field for 37 drives. On those 37 drives, along with only surrendering one scoring drive, 19 of them ended in either a three and out or turnover.
Although it's fair to point out the level of competition, the Patriots defense thoroughly dominated its first three opponents making the Dolphins and Jets look like CFB teams.
On the other side of the ball, the Patriots offense started hot, and Tom Brady threw for over 300 yards for the 89th time in his career, but there's room for improvement with the second-half performance.

And unfortunately, injuries became a major storyline as the Patriots got pretty banged up with Julian Edelman (chest), Dont'a Hightower (shoulder) and others suffering injuries.
Without further ado, here are ten things we learned as the Patriots improved to 3-0 on the season:
1. Tom Brady's Excellent September Continues
Could we be witnessing the start of a potential MVP campaign for Tom Brady at 42 years old? Yes, there are other quarterbacks around the league off to great starts as well, but he was nearly flawless once again on Sunday afternoon. Here's his stat line through three games: 72-106 (67.9%), 303.7 pass YPG, 8.6 yards per attempt, seven touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 116.5 rating. If Brady keeps this pace up for 16 games, he'd throw for the second-most yards in his career and tie a career-high in yards per attempt. Let's get to a few of his throws:
Brady made two ridiculous downfield connections with Josh Gordon in the second half, great plays by both quarterback and wide receiver.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/xualj/iyjzje" /]
On the second of the two plays, the Patriots faked a screen to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. Meyers comes behind Brady and released into the flat. Brady looks at Meyers, the receivers to the play side mimic blocking the corners and then release downfield. Brady flips his attention upfield and fits a ball to Gordon between three Jet defenders. Old quarterbacks with declining arm strength don't throw 22-yard ropes into the teeth of the defense like that.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/vc26w/lwiwhd" /]
Along with the throw to Gordon, Brady made another great tight-window throw to Julian Edelman on third and ten. The Jets have Edelman bracketed on the play with a corner in man coverage and safety help over the top. Edelman ran a 12-yard in cut at the sticks and Brady purposely throws low to protect him against the oncoming safety. Edelman goes to the ground to scoop the ball up and move the chains.
In all, I had Brady down with two minus throws both low ones to Edelman and one was nearly intercepted. But his ball placement and decision making were superb, and he's playing at an MVP level through three games.
We are spoiled and extremely fortunate to watch Brady's career. Don't take it for granted.
2. Patriots Lose Julian Edelman to Injury, X-Rays Negative
The outcome of this game was never in doubt. However, the second-most important player on the team sat out the entire second half after suffering a rib injury in the second quarter. The early news on Edelman is positive as X-rays came back negative, but the second half on Sunday served as a reminder of just how important he is to the team. Next week in Buffalo will be difficult offensively if Edelman can't go.
On a positive note, Edelman did have seven catches for 62 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/84czr/yixylc" /]
His chemistry with Brady on low throws over the middle is tremendous. Brady purposely throws them low so that Edelman can avoid hits in a high-impact area of the field, and Edelman is fantastic at sliding down and scooping them off the turf. I love watching those two work.
3. Jamie Collins is Flat-Out Dominating Dudes
When the Patriots brought Collins back, I'll admit that I wasn't on board with the signing. Now, I'll gladly accept that I was very wrong. Collins was fantastic again on Sunday bringing his season totals to 18 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one QB hit, five tackles for loss, two interceptions, one pass breakup and one of those interceptions went for a pick-six. Whew.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/wnid2/qkrhle" /]
Speaking after the game, Collins acknowledged his growth as a player and how that is leading to faster processing skills to react to plays in real-time.
Collins's teammates do nothing but praise him for what he has done. Stephon Gilmore told me that Collins makes plays like the ones we see in games every single day in practice and it's not a surprise to anyone that he's playing so well.
On the freelancing rumors from his first stint in New England, if those issues ever did exist, they no longer do according to teammates and coaches.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/arrxv/uphhxl" /]
The splash plays are great, but this second-down run stop was a microcosm of the new Jamie Collins. Collins has outside contain and shows excellent discipline to play his assignment. He sets the edge and waits for Bell to come to him and makes the play.
The Pats linebacker is making the big and little plays and is one of the best players at his position in the NFL through three weeks.
4. Patriots Shut Down Le'Veon Bell
The Patriots defense held New York's big offseason acquisition to a 2.9-yard average on his 22 touches with excellent team defense.
"Just good team defense. Nobody can stop him. It just takes everyone working together on that," head coach Bill Belichick said after the game.
Along with Belichick's praise, defensive tackle Danny Shelton shared some insight on the team's strategy to slow down Bell on Sunday.
"Yeah, it sucks. Upfront we have to be patient and eat up those blocks as much as we can. I don't want to see the film because a lot of the plays was him running right behind my guy and me trying to hold him up and getting ran over with the blocker. If I'm able to do my job, we can execute the game plan."
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/cazw7/lethad" /]
Bell is an incredibly patient runner that's terrific at setting up blocks and making quick cuts off of his offensive line to find creases. The Patriots put the onus on the big defensive tackles to occupy the offensive line so that the linebackers could swarm Bell and make tackles.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/yz67y/pztpla" /]
The Patriots also did a great job of waiting on Bell to make the first move, remaining disciplined while he danced around his blocks.
The former Steelers running back is New York's only big-time weapon, and with the Patriots swarming him on every touch, the Jets offense had nothing else to move the ball.
5. Patriots Feast On Weak Jets Offensive Line
The five sacks on quarterback Luke Falk doesn't do it justice; the Patriots got after the Jets QB. New England's pressure packages are fantastic to watch as they confuse blocking rules and overwhelm opponents with great execution on games.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/vfm1f/iugnrk" /]
Let's start with an overload blitz that led to a sack for Jamie Collins. The Patriots put Shelton at nose tackle and stand three guys up over two blockers (Hightower, Simon, Collins). All three Pats linebackers come on a blitz with Collins and Simon twisting on the edge. The running back releases downfield into a pass route which leaves Collins unblocked for the sack.
The Patriots ran what Belichick refers to as a "game" for a third-down sack later on. A game is usually a two or three-man play where the defenders pick for one another to get someone free.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/5xs6q/atzrgs" /]
The Patriots ran a two-man game with Adam Butler and Dont'a Hightower here. Butler's job on the play is to penetrate and pick the defenders off from blocking the looping Hightower. Hightower gets through the line, and Butler works to the quarterback as well to split the sack.
"Whether I'm getting it, Hightower or Jamie Collins or anybody is getting it our goal is to win as a team," Butler said. "It does feel good to pick, as you said."
Butler is starting to show up on the stat sheet this season, but many of his rushes free up others to make plays on the quarterback as well.
6. Josh Gordon Gives the Patriots What They Need With Big Plays
Since Gordon joined the Patriots last season, Tom Brady is only completing 58.8 percent of his passes intended for Gordon. Although the completion rate isn't high, Gordon brings explosive plays to the Patriots offense, which is exactly what they need out of the former Pro Bowler. Gordon's four receptions of 20-plus yards lead the team through three weeks, and they make up for any inconsistencies that the offense might have like in the second half on Sunday.
Gordon's highlight-reel catch in the third quarter was a perfect example of his value to the Patriots offense.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/mn4sz/seoupj" /]
The Patriots faced a third and 22 in the third quarter. Gordon starts on Brady's left as the outside receivers in a reduced split (inside the numbers). Gordon than ran an out and up down the sideline against a cover-3 structure by the Jets. With everyone's eyes on Brady, Gordon sneaks behind the boundary corner playing a third of the field. Brady puts the ball high where only Gordon can get it, and the 6-3 receiver climbs the ladder, taps the toes and makes the catch of the season in Week 3.
Brady will move the sticks with Edelman, Dorsett and James White and he'll get chunk plays with Gordon.
7. Marshall Newhouse Fills in Admirably in First Start With Patriots
The veteran offensive tackle, as Dante Scarnecchia told us on Friday, got the start at left tackle against the Jets. Newhouse's experience and football IQ make him a quick study, and he seems to have a decent grasp of what the Patriots went from him in a short period. The pass-blocking isn't always pretty, and he doesn't finish in the running game with much power. But he kept himself between his man and Brady often enough that he wasn't a liability. On initial viewing, Newhouse got the job done, which is all the Pats can ask for over the next eight weeks.
8. Patriots Running Game Remains an Issue
The Patriots offense can't run the football. The numbers and film both aren't good. They're averaging 3.2 yards per rush, Sony Michel is averaging 2.4 yards per rush, and in the first two games, the Patriots ranked 21st in PFF's run-blocking grades (2nd in 2018). Here are a few thoughts on the issues:
Sony Michel's inability to make people miss is concerning, and yes, his usage is predictable. The Pats run the ball on 76 percent of his snaps. With that said, they did the same thing last year and pounded teams on the ground. If the blocking returns to form, so will Michel. He's a back that needs holes. He won't create something out of nothing consistently.
The issues upfront have a lot of layers: an influx of injuries on the offensive line (Wynn), James Develin's absence on Sunday and overall poor execution by some of the carryovers from last year, mainly Shaq Mason. Mason was better on Sunday.
No Gronk in the running game. The Patriots didn't just go from the most dominant run blocker of his generation, and maybe ever, to replacement level. They've gone from Gronk to rock bottom. Izzo and LaCosse (when active) give them nothing. Pray that Ben Watson will save the position.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/mvy01/zsmwhh" /]
As I mentioned, the good news is that Shaq Mason returned to form on Sunday. On Sony Michel's touchdown run, the Patriots got great blocks from Mason, right tackle Marcus Cannon and center Ted Karras. Cannon's down block seals the edge allowing Mason to pull and kick out the linebacker in the hole while Karras gets upfield to wall off the last line of defense. If the Patriots block like that more often, they'll get back to running the football with consistency.
9. Patriots Vanilla With Second-Half Personnel Groupings
After the injury to Edelman, and with fullback James Develin inactive, the Patriots went with basic 11-personnel in the second half (3 WR, 1 RB, 1 TE).
In the first half, we saw the typical shuffling of personnel groupings and four wide receiver sets.
But the Edelman injury led to a heavy dosage of rookie Jakobi Meyers (48 snaps) and some Gunner Olszewski (seven) in the second half. As a result, the Patriots kept it simple, and mostly nixed the 10 personnel.
Without Develin, the Patriots ran ten plays with two running backs and zero plays with a traditional fullback. Jakob Johnson logged two snaps on the kneel-downs to end the game.
10. Jake Bailey and the Punt Brigade
Patriots punter Jake Bailey is good, and so is his partner in crime, Mathew Slater. Bailey had three punts travel 50 or more yards with the Patriots downing five of them inside the 20. Five.
[arve url="https://streamable.com/s/l7spz/rvgqwd" /]
One of those five came on an incredible effort by Slater who batted the ball out of the end zone to Jonathan Jones who downed the punt on the Jets one-yard line.
Slater told me after the game, "Jake did a heck of a job of giving me a ball that I could try to make a play on. Sometimes you get a lucky bounce, but I thought he punted very well today. I think we did a good job of controlling field position when we could today."
We were all sad to see Super Bowl standout Ryan Allen go, but the Patriots have a weapon in Jake Bailey. That Slater guy is pretty good, too.

Swiss Laboratory Hopes to Release COVID-19 Vaccine in October
"Given the urgency of the coronavirus pandemic, we are talking about weeks, not months of approval procedures."
"This is a big team, not just a small group trying to do it," said Martin Bachmann - photo: Ojoer, 2019
Taha Mebtoul
Rabat – A team of researchers at the Swiss University of Bern said that their newly developed vaccine for COVID-19 could be ready to roll out by October.
Head of the Department of Immunology at the University of Bern, Martin Bachmann, told the German Press Agency (DPA) on April 22 that the team had already conducted successful trials on mice.
Bachmann's team based its research on the gene sequence of Sars-CoV-2 that China published in January to isolate the proteins that allow the virus to latch on to human cells.
"Given the urgency of the coronavirus pandemic, we are talking about weeks, not months of approval procedures," said Lukas Jaggi, a spokesperson for Switzerland's national medical regulatory body, Swissmedic.
"The time schedule is extremely optimistic, but it is not totally far-fetched," he told DPA.
Jaggi claimed that if the vaccine meets international safety requirements, a decision to green-light human use could come before the end of the year.
Bachmann told Swiss public television channel RTS 1 that his research team is among the best, and that they are working with the University of Bern and the University Hospital of Zurich.
Vaccines are generally developed in a laboratory before being tested on animals, and finally on healthy human beings.
"We have scheduled clinical studies in August and after eight weeks we can extend them to all of Switzerland," Bachmann elaborated.
"This is a big team, not just a small group trying to do it," he added. The Swiss vaccine team includes Latvian and Chinese partners.
Several laboratories around the world are racing to develop the vaccine, including in China, Australia, Europe, and the US. The World Health Organization lists more than 80 vaccines as under development.
The first human trial for a potential COVID-19 vaccine began on March 3 in Seattle, Washington. All volunteers in the ongoing trial are healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 55.

Home/Sports/Harvard beats Yale 45-27 as The Game sets scoring record
Harvard beats Yale 45-27 as The Game sets scoring record
November 18, 2018 Sports, unitedstates Comments Off on Harvard beats Yale 45-27 as The Game sets scoring record
BOSTON (AP) – The clock ticked down to zero and the Harvard players sprinted across the Fenway field to celebrate with the student section, beyond the Pesky Pole and under the retired numbers of a century of Boston Red Sox stars.
Another chapter in the history of an iconic ballpark.
Another memorable moment in one of college football's oldest rivalries.
Tom Stewart threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns before being wheeled off the field on a stretcher in the fourth quarter, leading Harvard to a 45-27 victory over Yale on Saturday in the highest-scoring edition in the 143-year history of The Game .
The Crimson ran up 578 yards in offense for their most prolific offensive day in the annals of the rivalry, which was contested off-campus for the first time since an 1894 game that was so violent the Harvard faculty voted to disband the football program.
"Initially, some of us were not as excited as we could be, because we wanted to have our last home game at the Stadium," Harvard offensive lineman Ben Shoults said. "But once we got a chance to walk around on the field, and we heard the fans and we got into the environment … it was a little more than we ever could have expected to play this game that means so much to us at Fenway. "
Fifty years after The Tie that was celebrated with The Crimson student newspaper headline "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29," the teams made a different kind of history. The 72 total points were the most ever in The Game between two of the nation's oldest and most prestigious academic powerhouses, surpassing the 33-31 Yale victory in 1993.
Yale (5-5, 3-4) had beaten Harvard in back-to-back years, but the Crimson have now won 15 of the last 18 matchups.
"It was a pretty amazing opportunity to play this, just a historic game here with this incredible tradition and rivalry we have between Yale and Harvard," Bulldogs coach Tony Reno said. "We were not able to continue to match points."
Stewart, a senior playing his last game, left on a stretcher after getting hit as he dropped into a slide on the temporary sod about where the Red Sox shortstop would stand. As doctors attended to him, players on both teams kneeled; Yale quarterback Griffin O'Connor made the sign of the cross.
The sold-out crowd acknowledged Stewart when he was wheeled off. The school announced after the game that it was a right hip injury and Stewart was expected to make a full recovery.
"Heartbreaking for that to happen that late in the game, that late in his career," said Harvard coach Tim Murphy, who is now 18-7 in The Game.
Backup quarterback Jake Smith came in and handed off to Devin Darrington on the next play for a 16-yard touchdown that gave the Crimson (6-3, 4-3 Ivy League) at 45-27 lead.
Darrington ran for 91 yards and two scores and had another negated by a taunting penalty when he wagged his finger at a defender. Tyler Adams ran for 125 yards on just five carries for Harvard, including a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
O'Connor completed 23 of 48 passes for 328 yards. JP Shohfi had seven catches for 127 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown reception. Reed Klubnik had five catches for 91 yards and set Yale's single-season record with 1,143 receiving yards in his career.
With dozens of players from 1968 game watching, the schools traded touchdowns through most of the first three quarters – tying it at 7-7, 14-14 and 21-21 – before Yale took its first lead of the game on a field goal early in the second half.
Stewart's 15-yard pass to Jack Cook gave Harvard a 28-24 lead with 5 minutes left in the third, then another Yale field goal cut the deficit to one point.
In the fourth, Darrington went up the middle for a 27-yard score, but he wagged a finger as he outran a defender toward the goal line and was called for taunting. The touchdown negated, Harvard settled for a field goal.
"The bottom line is: He was wrong," Murphy said. "He was wrong. It's that simple. It was the right call; he was wrong. I'm just so grateful to our team that he did not have to learn that the absolute hard way of trying to live with that for a year or however many years. "
On the Crimson's next possession, Darrington again broke loose, gaining 27 yards to the 6. Two plays later, he took it in from the 4 to give Harvard a 37-27 lead.
OFF TARGET
Yale trailed 21-14 when O'Connor connected with Klubnik for a 48-yard gain to the 2. But Dudek was slammed down in the backfield for a loss of 6, and then a pass fell incomplete.
On third down, O'Connor found Dudek at the 3 and he was immediately hit by cornerback Wesley Ogsbury, whose head snapped back on contact. The officials threw a flag for targeting, the call was confirmed on replay and Ogsbury was ejected.
The teams – sharing the sideline because of the baseball stadium's configuration – began shouting at each other until coaches stepped between them. With a new set of downs, O'Connor ran it in on second down to tie the score 21-21.
HALLOWED TURF
The band played "Sweet Caroline" early in the fourth quarter in keeping with Red Sox tradition at Fenway, which has hosted college football periodically since it opened in 1912. It was also the home of the American Football League's Boston Patriots in the 1960s; it has recently hosted Boston College games against Notre Dame and UConn.
The field barely fit inside the ballpark, even with the bullpens removed. Both teams shared the sideline on the Green Monster side of the field; the scoreboard on the wall was repurposed, with the innings replaced by quarters.
Members of the grounds crew were patching divots in the turf during most breaks, and a chunk came up on Stewart's slide.

Nigeria. Adamawa State: The United Nations Children's Educational Fund (UNICEF) has confirmed the diversion of learning materials donated to help less privileged children.
The UNICEF Consultant for Education in Adamawa state, Joel Isiah described the diversion as a way of sabotaging the efforts of the Agency.
He called on the people involved in such an act to desist from it as the learning materials are made for children to help them acquire knowledge and not for personal use.
"The UN organisation has gotten reliable information that UNICEF learning materials donated and meant for vulnerable children were being sold in markets in the state. UNICEF is surprised by this.

"When it comes to the distribution, approval and deployment of the learning materials from its warehouse to the benefiting local government areas, UNICEF works with the ministry of education, Universal Basic Education and local education authorities to attain the goal and also to reach the targeted people which the items are made for", he said.
UNICEF further said that the organisation has given out the educational materials to eight local government areas in the state.
"We have so far supplied these materials to eight Local Government Areas and are duly received by the Local Education Authorities.
"The materials are not to be sold. It is a crime against the Children's education rights, humanity rights and Law," Isiah said.
The distributed items
The items consist of school bags, mathematical sets, writing books, cleaners, sharpeners among other things.
"UNICEF is imploring with the appropriate security and authorities concerned to as matter of urgency do the needful in recouping the materials back so that it can be used for what it is made for.
"Anyone found involved in the act should be brought to book irrespective of his high position in the society", Isiah declared.

Best HDMI Cables For 2022
By Mitchell
Modified date: April 19, 2022
Add an HDMI cable or two to your shopping cart if you're thinking about getting a new gaming console, TV, 4K Blu-ray player, or 4K HDR media streamer. There's no need to spend a lot of money on HDMI cables because they work with your equipment. Even low-cost devices can receive and display 4K HDR content.
According to our calculations, the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and even 4K Blu-ray players will cost you no more than $1 per foot. Do you require a new HDMI cable? If you buy new equipment, your old cables will work with it. Here are some recommended cables if they don't or if you want to make sure they do.
Let me repeat myself: even in the most expensive year, cheap HDMI cables are perfectly acceptable. No matter how good the picture is or how good the sound is, the price is irrelevant. No matter how much a cable costs, it will have the same appearance as any other cable capable of passing the resolution you desire. Here are our recommendations for the best HDMI cable.
Read more: Best 4K TVs for 2022
Cable recommendations (6 feet): AmazonBasics or Monoprice
I used 6-foot (1.8-meter) cables for pricing, but there are longer and shorter options. Shorter cables can save you money, but make sure they're long enough to allow you to set up your gear where you want it. You could say that measuring twice before buying once is the best way to do things.
High-resolution and high-frame-rate cables labeled "Premium Certified" can handle them. This label isn't required, but it does help ensure that a cable will work with other devices. So if you want to ensure that your new PS5 or Xbox Series X can run 4K at 120 frames per second, this is the simplest way to do so. Premium Certified cables don't come at a significant price premium, which is fortunate. A few dollars more than noncertified AmazonBasics cables, for example, are the difference.
They come in 3-, 6-, 10- and 15-foot versions.
Monoprice is the most well-known brand of low-cost HDMI cables, and it offers a wide selection, including the Monoprice Select Series. "Premium Certified" designates the cable used to connect the two devices.
Monoprice's Premium Certified cables are some of the cheapest on the market. There are also versions that are longer and thicker. Amazon-style lifetime warranties are also available.
What makes these two HDMI cable manufacturers stand out from the rest? We trust them because they're the most affordable and come with the best warranties.
We've been using low-cost cables from Amazon and Monoprice for years in our TV testing lab, even though we don't review them specifically. More plugging and unplugging than most cables see in a day has been no match for these cables' ability to carry hundreds of hours of 4K and HDR video without a hitch. With compatible devices, none have failed.
Even though there are less expensive options, we've found that these two have consistently received excellent user reviews and have been on the market for many years. In addition, they're rated to handle 4K and HDR content. The HDMI 2.0 standard is often referred to as "18Gbps," which refers to the amount of bandwidth that can be transferred in gigabits per second (see below for HDMI 2.1 details).
You may not want a Monoprice or Amazon HDMI cable for whatever reason. We scoured the shelves of several big-name retailers and found lines that we liked. They're all here.
There are many HDMI cables available in Walmart's online store. The Tripp Lite linked here, which the company appears to be selling itself, claims to be 18Gbps in one place. A lifetime warranty can be found by sifting through the fine print. Compared to Amazon or Monoprice, I don't see the benefit of this cable, but it is an option.
Most of Target's regular HDMI cables cannot handle the total bandwidth of 4K HDR, making it challenging to find the right one. Only a four-foot Philips cable is reasonably priced as of this writing. Also, you might not know what to do with a Target gift card. You may be better off with one of the other options here, as it's only rated at 10.2Gbps.
The majority of cable packages sold by Best Buy are exorbitantly priced. For $170, you get a 6-foot, 7-inch cable with a slew of other features. However, some of its offerings aren't terrible. Dynex's 6-foot Ultra HD HDMI cable can transmit data at speeds of up to 18 Gbps.
However, the warranty on this item is only for 90 days, so the alternatives listed above are preferable.
Do you need new cables?
Getting a new TV doesn't mean you need new HDMI cables, even if you're moving up to something with 4Kor HDR. Any recent "high-speed HDMI cable" should work fine over short distances, say under 6 feet. HDMI cable manufacturers use the "High Speed" rating to designate cables with sufficient bandwidth to support video resolutions up to and including 1080p.
It's easy to think of bandwidth as a conduit. With 4K and HDR content, you need to get a lot of water through the pipe. A high-speed cable must be large enough to handle all of the traffic it is expected to handle.
A high-speed HDMI cable capable of transmitting the massive amounts of data necessary for 4K and HDR content cannot be identified simply by looking at it. Even if the jacket says "High Speed," that doesn't mean anything. HDMI cables capable of passing the 1080p standard can be considered "high speed," but they aren't capable of giving 4K. There is no way to know that it is working correctly unless it is tested.
As long as it works, it's all good. What if your 4K Blu-ray player sends a 4K HDR signal directly to your HDR TV? If the television shows a 4K HDR signal, you are good to go. A different 4K HDMI cable will not produce a better image because that isn't how technology operates.
With an HDMI cable, there are only two failures. Your chances of getting a signal are slim to none. A screen that is either black or has a flickering pattern. To begin, ensure that your HDMI devices are correctly connected and configured.
HDMI cable failure known as "sparkles" can be seen in this close-up image.
In addition to sparkles, the only other "fail" mode of HDMI cables is. The screen appears to be covered in snow. If it's too heavy, it'll look static on an old TV, or it'll look like random white pixels if it's too light. This necessitates the purchase of new cabling.
You're good to go as long as the TV displays the exact resolution as what you're sending it (e.g., 4K HDR on the TV when you're sending 4K HDR). That image won't improve if you use a different cable.
Remember that if one step in your chain isn't 4K HDR, nothing is. In other words, you won't be able to connect a 4K Blu-ray player to a 4K TV if you connect it to an old soundbar first. Additionally, some televisions only have one or two HDMI 2.1 inputs. That can be found in your owner's manual, too.
What about HDMI 2.1?
HDMI 2.1 is the most recent version of the standard, and it's currently the most popular. A massive leap in bandwidth, capable of 8K resolutions and beyond, has been made. Ultra High-Speed cables are also available, but unless you plan on purchasing an 8K TV, they are not necessary. Because even if you're getting an 8K television, you probably don't need them.
Longer cables?
When it comes to connecting your TV to your cable box, video streamer, 4K Blu-ray player, or game console, the vast majority of you will only need a few feet/meters of HDMI cable. Some of you may be looking for a little longer cable. Because there are so many factors to consider, which we will go over, it's impossible for us to make a simple decision.
In general, the quality of a long HDMI cable is much more important than that of a short one. Over a distance of 15 feet, the likelihood that a mediocre line will not work or work at the resolution you desire increases dramatically. You still don't have to shell out a fortune for long cables, as plenty of options cost about the same per foot. No-name wires, then, may have a lower success rate.
To put it another way, most people will be fine with a shoddy 3-foot cable, but a shoddy 15-foot cord most likely won't. If you're thinking about a long-term solution, be sure it can handle 4K/60, HDR, and other advanced features. Many options aren't. Consider these three options:
Active: A small chip in an active HDMI cable uses power from the device's HDMI connector to boost its HDMI signal. This is a good thing. Even though these cables are more expensive, they are more likely to work. Using a long passive cable is an option, but it isn't guaranteed to work for everyone. What you're using is a factor. Consider them for the long haul because they're not significantly more expensive.
Optical: HDMI-over-optical has a much higher bandwidth than the traditional analog audio interface. Far greater distances are also possible with this device. Options with a length of more than 330 feet are readily available. In the last few years, prices have dropped dramatically, with options available for the same price per foot as copper cables. Most don't even require any external power. They're thin HDMI cables that work and look like them.
Wireless: Alternatively, you can eliminate the need for wires by going wireless. However, this isn't as simple as it appears. We can't possibly cover everything that needs to be considered, but here are a few things to keep in mind: Aside from the fact that they're more expensive than standard cables, 4K options frequently only work in-room and are susceptible to obstructions such as cabinet doors or even people. Despite the near-ubiquitous nature of Wi-Fi, it isn't as simple as it should be for multiple devices to connect wirelessly. If you're thinking about doing this, do your homework first.
What's up with AmazonBasics?
IN SEPTEMBER, a CNN report highlighted a number of Amazon's products that had erupted into flames. Because the HDMI connection is low voltage, an HDMI cable alone is unlikely to cause a fire. It's possible to transmit voltage over a copper cable, but the source, the display, or the lightning bolt could be the problem. Only one review of the AmazonBasics HDMI cable mentions fires out of 60,380 checks. However, the reviewer's cable melted for unknown reasons, and there was no fire.
Our labs and homes have long used Monoprice AV cables, so we don't believe the CNN report is cause for concern about the quality of AmazonBasics AV cables. However, if you are concerned, there are other options listed here.
Connected thoughts
For the best deal, make sure that the cable you're considering is Premium Certified says it can perform 4K/60 or handle 18Gbps bandwidth. Amazon and Monoprice cables, for example, have excellent warranties.
Keep in mind that there are no "versions" of HDMI cables. As a result, there is no "HDMI 2.0" line available. In your TV, receiver, or soundbar, the version numbers reference the physical connections. To watch HDR content, your TV and Blu-ray player must both have HDMI 2.0, but the cable connecting them is irrelevant. It's nothing more than a pipe.
You should be fine as long as the pipe has adequate "size," i.e., bandwidth. Since HDMI 2.0 introduced the 18Gbps data transfer rate, any cable claiming to support it is almost certainly designed to handle the additional data that HDMI 2.0 connections can carry. 48Gbps is the maximum speed that the new Ultra High-Speed cables can deliver, but no current source can send that much data at the moment.
Finally, if you plan on running the cables through a wall, be sure to use HDMI cables designed for this application. Find out what HDMI specification you need to meet building codes in your area.

Carnelian carries the orange color ray. The orange ray nourishes and vitalizes your entire being, bestowing optimism and enthusiasm for life. At the cellular level, the orange ray motivates cells to achieve greater health. On the whole-person level, it inspires you to make the changes that will move you toward your life's goal or dream.
When you wear a necklace of Carnelian spheres, their orange-ray energy radiates into your aura. From there, the orange ray is breathed into your lungs and distributed throughout your body via the blood and lymph.
The orange ray is a key ingredient for life, especially for the life of the cells. Each individual cell bathes in glory in the presence of the orange ray. Cells need all seven color rays for life. However, when given even a little extra orange ray, they react the way you might when you soak in a hot bath after a hard day's work—you rest and relax, and although you continue to function, you let go of your troubles. Carnelian and the orange ray help your cells let go of their disharmony and disease. They stir and dislodge disharmony so that your body can release it.
Emotions also relax in the presence of the orange ray. This relaxation manifests as calmer, more balanced emotions. Excess emotions are checked, and deficient emotions are brought to life, while others are soothed and smoothed. Negative emotions are not in harmony with the orange ray. Therefore, when Carnelian is worn, negative emotions are dulled, dissipated, or canceled out. Carnelian also helps you express positive emotions more easily.
Carnelian accentuates your memories of joyful and positive experiences. It also highlights positive reasons for living. Carnelian helps you appreciate all the gifts of life. When you wear Carnelian, even in the midst of unhappiness and negative circumstances, the good things are highlighted.
Carnelian stimulates, sharpens, and enhances mental functions. It improves mental clarity, memory, and the ability to see things from a higher viewpoint. When you first wear Carnelian, it stirs up the clouds that inhibit mental clarity. Consequently, you may notice that your clarity seems to decrease, and your sinuses and lymph glands may become somewhat clogged. This effect won't last long. Carnelian teaches the body to metabolize these clouds. As more and more clouds are metabolized and eliminated, your clarity will increase and then surpass what you experienced before putting on the Carnelian. You will also gain the strength to help you accept the many changes this increased mental clarity will initiate in your life.
Carnelian will benefit anyone who is deficient in the orange ray. An orange-ray deficiency frequently manifests as weakness in the immune, endocrine, or lymphatic systems. It can also manifest as an imbalance between lower and higher energies, and this may express itself as a disparity between one's dreams and aspirations and one's actual life direction. When you wear Carnelian, the lower and higher energies in your body will come into greater harmony with each other. This will encourage your aspirations and current life path to come closer and closer together. As your life begins to move in the direction you desire, you will be infused with a new sense of vitality and joy for living.
Each of the seven color rays of the life force is particularly healing and nourishing to certain aspects of the physical body. The orange ray nourishes and supports the lymphatic system, soft connective tissue, endocrine system (glands), and adipose tissue. Consequently, wearing Carnelian can help strengthen these parts of the body and help resolve certain conditions related to them.
This Carnelian fulfills our long-held desire to offer a precious-gem carrier of the orange color ray and Carnelian energy. The orange ray nourishes and vitalizes your entire being, bestowing optimism and enthusiasm for life and energizing every cell in your body. This new, precious Carnelian is an exceptionally pure, potent, and high-vibration vehicle for the life-giving orange ray.
We feel especially fortunate that the Earth has yielded this rare gem now, when other qualities of therapeutic Carnelian have become increasingly scarce. Treatments that render Carnelian non-therapeutic have become so common, that our ability to offer our usual semi-precious Carnelian has become more and more limited. And we simply refuse to offer anything less than therapeutic-grade gems.
And so, some years back, we started searching for a consistent source of the very highest quality Carnelian. However, these precious gems had never been available in large enough quantities to make even a single necklace. That is, until now. Our new Carnelian is indeed so uncommon, that it takes 8,000 carats of very high quality "rough" Carnelian to create one 80-carat precious necklace. Although these new, precious Carnelian necklaces contain less mass than our semi-precious Carnelian necklaces, they are much more powerful energetically.
Why is this new Carnelian so therapeutically potent? Understanding what makes it special requires a brief look at Carnelian's origins. As readers of Michael Katz's book, Wisdom of the Gemstone Guardians know, human beings are intimately involved in creating Carnelian. All Carnelian is made by heating chalcedony (often gray chalcedony), usually at high temperatures for a long time, until it turns orange. In addition, other treatments, such as iron oxide, are often used to further deepen the gems' color.
Our new Carnelian is different; in fact, it is virtually unique. It originates as a light-yellow chalcedony and is transformed into Carnelian through a particularly gentle and natural process. The rough gems are placed in an earthen pot and heated on wood at a very low temperature for about 24 hours. Nothing else is added, except some additional wood to keep the temperature consistent. This mimics the natural heating that takes place in the Earth.
The result of this gentle transformation process is Carnelian that is extraordinarily rare, therapeutically powerful, and beautifully translucent—the purest vehicle for the orange ray available on Earth.
Our new precious Carnelian is literally in a class by itself. For that reason, we have graded it for therapeutic quality on its own scale, separate from that of our semi-precious Carnelian. The therapeutic-quality grades of precious Carnelian begin where semi-precious Carnelian leaves off. So, for example, a "Very Fine Quality" precious Carnelian is more therapeutically potent that an "Exquisite Plus" semi-precious Carnelian. Hence, when you order our Carnelian, you will find our precious and semi-precious Carnelian in separate ordering charts.
My stomach cramping had become chronic as a result of metal toxicity. The constant pain made my emotions slump, and I became depressed. Then I began to wear Carnelian. While helping me detox the metal, Carnelian also filled me with positive emotions. It was as if the sun was finally shining after a long and dreary season, and I was able to manage the pain more effectively.
I am 45 years old and the mother of eight children. I've had a problem with my weight since childhood. Some months ago, I began a raw foods diet and have also been wearing Carnelian. The necklace has helped me clear away the clouds and stay focused on my weight and spiritual issues. I've lost over 100 pounds and feel like it's just the beginning of my journey.
After giving birth, I was at a low point from depression, weight gain, and confusion about how to proceed in my life. Longstanding migraines, endometriosis, and digestive problems also plagued me. Since starting to wear Carnelian six months ago, I haven't had a migraine, nor any endometriosis pain or digestive problems. I sleep better. I have energy and am making better choices. My life is starting to look like I once envisioned it—centered around wellness and peace.
Wearing Carnelian for the past two months has given me a great sense of relaxation. But amazingly—and most important—every time I wear it, I feel compelled to express myself through painting, the secret goal of my life since childhood. Because of Carnelian, I now take joy in painting, and I understand that bringing joy is the purpose of this small gift that life has given me.
I own several Gemisphere necklaces, and Carnelian is my favorite. When I wear it, I feel more energetic, happy, clear headed, and healthy. When I start feeling down, tired, or unwell, I put on my Carnelian, and I'm a new person!
Carnelian is one of my favorite gemstones. I've always struggled with a bit of a negative attitude and some depression. The orange color ray from brightens my soul, and I find myself saying, "All is well, all is well," and actually believing it! I call this necklace "the spark of joy!"
One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use a Carnelian necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.
A Carnelian necklace can also be used for more focused treatments. The simplest treatment is to place it on a specific area of your body to focus its healing energies there. For example, you can curl it up and place it on an ailing, injured, or painful area to accelerate the area's recovery.
Carnelian energy and the orange ray are infused into a localized area of the body to vitalize the area's cells and encourage them to release their disharmony, toxicity, or disease. This treatment is especially effective for ailing organs. It also excels as an adjunct to an internal cleansing or detoxification program.
Carnelian is placed on the brow and heart chakras to help you clarify and make a difficult decision. This technique helps you sort out your emotions about the decision and reveals the degree to which you are in harmony with a certain choice. It can also help you modify a decision until it best serves you.
It is best to wear Carnelian continually, especially if you are wearing it to increase your mental clarity. However, it's always wise to be sensitive to your body's responses. If you start to feel a headache or significant discomfort, take the necklace off for a while. Then allow your body time to adjust to the changes by wearing the gems for only an hour or two a day. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.
To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems' surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of following methods to cleanse your Carnelian necklace. Learn more about these methods.
Special Storage Note: Store Carnelian in a closed container to counteract its tendency to pick up unwanted energies from the atmosphere.

Forced Arbitration – The Stealth War on Women's Rights
While working for defunct retailer Circuit City, Tia Holloman was subjected to two months of appalling sexual harassment that included her supervisor exposing his genitals to her, grabbing her and parading her around the store when she tried to escape his abuse — an event that was recorded by the store's surveillance camera. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found in Tia's favor, but despite a mountain of evidence against Circuit City and her supervisor, Tia's sexual harassment case was thrown out of court because of a pervasive injustice lurking in her employment agreement – a forced arbitration clause.
Tia should have been protected by laws prohibiting sexual harassment, most notably Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, but Circuit City evaded this landmark law through the abusive practice of forced arbitration. These clauses, buried in the fine print of everything from employee handbooks and loan applications to website terms of service and even school field trip permission slips, eliminate access to the courts where women can assert their rights and replaces our civil justice system with Big Businesses' own dispute mill.
Tia, like most Americans, didn't even know forced arbitration exists, but it is among the biggest threats to women's rights in the workplace, the classroom, and their communities.
This March as we honor the character, courage, and commitment of advocates who fought to pass landmark laws advancing women's rights, we must take up the fight to preserve their legacy by revoking corporations' license to violate these laws through forced arbitration.
By eliminating a woman's right to enforce these laws in court, forced arbitration undermines Title VII of the Civil Rights Acts, the Equal Pay Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act—all of which were fought for and won by courageous advocates whose legacy must be preserved.
Without immediate Congressional action to end forced arbitration, corporations will continue to single-handedly eliminate women's access to justice and render these essential laws meaningless and unenforceable.
Please encourage the members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to preserve these laws by co-sponsoring the Arbitration Fairness Act of 2013 (AFA) [S.878 / H.R.1844] and stopping forced arbitration.
The AFA would eliminate forced arbitration in employment, consumer, civil rights, and anti-trust cases, thereby restoring fundamental rights created by state and federal laws that are currently at risk of being wiped out by this abusive practice.
Women have come too far to be forced to back by the injustice buried in the fine print.

Jun 17 Attorney Charles Murray Achieves Re-certification in Civil Trial Law with National Board of Trial Advocacy
SANDUSKY, OHIO -The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) is pleased to announce that Charles Murray of the law firm, Murray & ...


BRASILIA-with serious financial difficulties, the concessionaire Santo Antônio Energy presented to justice a request to get rid of payments due to the power transmission system, an unprecedented request in the electricity sector, used for years to a war of injunctions. The company justifies that is on the verge of bankruptcy. The action was denied by the Federal Court of the Federal District, but the company appealed to the Federal Court of the first region (TRF-1) to get rid of payments this month, which amounted to R $169 million. If the decision is approved, the company, owner of the plant, will not suffer penalties for being defaulted. The rate for use of the transmission system resembles a toll: the generator pays monthly for access to the transmission network and thus can deliver power at any point in the system. By not paying the fees, the generators receive penalties, which may be fines, implementation of financial guarantees and market power. In the limit, the plant can be punished with the termination of the contracts of purchase and sale of energy. This is the most serious consequence, because these contracts are used as collateral and that can lead to accelerated maturity of funding. The action has raised fears in the industry, faced with the possibility of opening of a dangerous precedent that can further enhance the industry-judicialization. That's because the power transmission system works as a kind of gated community, in which all agents rateiam expenses. If one fails to pay, the others have to pay more to cover the costs of the system. A cascade movement, other agents can adopt the same strategy, reducing the share of paying agents. Defense in action, the Santo Antônio Energy claims financial difficulties to continue paying your bills and claims to have negotiated other debt installments payments "to avoid your break", but the default situation hinders the renegotiation. The company says has not yet "financial availability" to make payment of the amount of financial guarantees required in the market. The damage accumulated, since the beginning of the operation in 2007 until December 2017, according to the company, is R $3.7 billion, and shareholders have already landed R $9.3 billion, more than double the R $4.2 billion initially forecast. "The main shareholders would face difficulties arising from the fiscal crisis of the State (39% owned by Furnas, federal State; 10% to Cemig, State State; and 20% to the FIP Amazon, of which 49.9% belong to the FI-FGTS). The minority shareholders (Andrade Gutierrez and Odebrecht 12.4% 18.6%) are also in financial difficulty well-known and reported by national media, "says the action. The President of the Brazilian Association of electric power transmission companies, Mario Miranda, said the lack of payments of Santo Antônio energy will encumber other agents and even consumers. "Imagine if begin to tolerate or allow the breach of a particular agent? This overloads other companies, "said Miranda. "Everyone is going through financial difficulties, is not only the Santo Antônio energy." The Director-General of the National Electric Energy Agency, André Goes, acknowledged that the plant goes through difficulties and that the project is structurally unbalanced, but said any discussion must necessarily pass by the regulator, and not for justice. The Santo Antonio Energia was contacted, but did not comment.

Global Matters - Dubai's International Humanitarian City: Leading Public and Private Sector Innovation to Respond to Crises
3:30-5:00 p.m. Remarks and Q & A
5:00-6:00 p.m. Reception
Featuring remarks from Her Excellency Mrs. Shaima Al Zarooni, Advisor and Acting CEO of Dubai's International Humanitarian City
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, One in every 113 people around the world is now either a refugee, an asylum-seeker, or an internally displaced person. Fifty-one percent of them are children.
In a world of crises and conflicts whole populations of men, women and children are not able to access the minimum standards of security, food, clean water, shelter, education, and health. Additionally, due to the interconnectivity of the world, regions exterior to the source of these issues increasingly find themselves impacted whether economically, politically and/or in terms of security and public health by strife elsewhere. For the sake of those directly or indirectly impacted by such conflicts it is significantly important to collectively and actively ensure effective and efficient engagement of public and private sectors for better emergency preparedness to respond to crises and proactive development solutions to prevent crises from occurring.
The International Humanitarian City puts Dubai's expertise in transport, logistics and innovation at work, enabling aid agencies to reach victims of crises and alleviate the suffering of those who are scarred by hunger and poverty. Since its establishment, IHC has grown to become the worlds largest and busiest logistics hub for humanitarian aid with nine UN agencies and more than 50 NGOs and commercial entities within its member pool.
Her Excellency Mrs. Shaima Al Zarooni is the Advisor and Acting CEO of International Humanitarian City. In 2016, she was appointed Director of Special Initiatives assisting HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, wife of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in Her capacity as UN Messenger of Peace. She is the Founder and President of Camp01, a Public Benefit Corporation based in Minnesota, USA. She is also the Vice-President and a board member of the August Medical Foundation, also based in Minnesota. Her Excellency is the First Arab Woman on the Start Network Board of Trustees.

Shaky whimpers interrupted her sobs. Running sinuses drew in. Welcome to the first week of swimming lessons.
I unlatched my son Henry from his car seat and walked down to where the cries of his big sister boomed. Annabelle's arms were firmly wrapped around my wife's neck. When my daughter saw me, she reached her arms up like an inmate whisked away as my wife waded through the water in the opposite direction following along to the instructor's song.
Instinctively, I wanted to seize my daughter from the pool and console her, voicing to her everything was okay; that she didn't have to take swimming lessons, that we would try again next year.[ref]With that said, I don't want to exaggerate my initial reaction. The thought itself to rescue my child from her own fear was replaced within a matter of three seconds max by another thought: she is OK.[/ref] It was perhaps the first moment in our parenting lives when my wife and I were faced with the decision to "rescue" our child from her own fears.
a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. Synonyms: foreboding, apprehension, consternation, dismay, dread, terror, fright, panic, horror, trepidation, qualm.
Do we stand on the sideline or rush the field? Were we traumatizing our daughter or passively helping her? She was not the only child with tears of trepidation – though she did win the blue ribbon for loudest. In my heart, I knew–and my wife knew–we were doing the right thing.
Annabelle loves the water. To avoid raising her ears lest we have full intentions of going, my wife and I used to foolishly spell out P-O-O-L until we unraveled the common sense mystery that spelling out "pool" sounds almost the exact same as if we were saying the word itself.
"Pool. Pool," Annabelle would reply every time we took part in our own impromptu Spelling Bee in the kitchen.
Would lugging her out of the water help matters or would that cement her own fears even more – that Mommy and Daddy also feared she was not ready?
It was not as if Annabelle was in any danger. Her swim buddy was her mom – not some stranger.
Whereas the first day of swimming lessons did not go quite as planned, the second day was a complete 180. No cries – only kicking and splashing and smiles.
To be a parent is to go through trials, tribulations, and triumph.

3D Rendering | Architectural visualization tutorials, 3d models and more!
Architectural visualization tutorials, 3d models and more!
Time for another set of inspirational renderings that will either boost your desire to improve your skills or make you consider a change in your career path :). As I said in a previous post, nowadays with the competition in the architectural visualization industry being so steep, a "classic" sunny afternoon rendering may not be enough to make you stand out from the crowd. Many have tried several different approaches, one of them being a rainy, "wet look". This tends to bring a more dramatic feel to an architectural illustration and in many cases may be a good solution even for commercial work.
With that in mind, I have compiled a set of spectacular "wet/rainy mood" renderings for everyone to learn from. If you decide to give it a try, a good place to start would be the Vray Wet Materials Tutorial I wrote some time ago.

White iPhone 4 Coming At The End Of The Month
By Radu Tyrsina 2011-04-14T14:45:06.103Z
Apple plans on selling white versions of the iPhone 4 by the end of this month, after a delay of almost 10 months, according to sources on Business Week.
This long postponement was said to be caused by issues with the phone's housing paint. Phil Schiller, the senior vice president of worldwide product marketing at Apple, had confirmed in the previous month that the white version of the iPhone 4 would be available this spring.
The iPhone 4 still has an impressive sales record, but adding the white version to the sales "counter" could be the catalyst for another growth in demand. Apple announced a delay of the white version right after the iPhone launch in June 2010, mentioning some manufacturing difficulties.
White seems to be a generic colour for Apple's gadgets, starting with the first iPod, back in 2001. The iPhone 3GS model and iPad 2 started selling with the same colour; that's why the white version of iPhone 4 should increase revenue even more.
The iPhone remains Apple's top selling product, gathering 39 per cent of total sales in fiscal Q1. Fresh data is expected next week, on April 20th, when the California based company will report its Q2 financial results.
Apple has continued its constant financial growth, registering a 4.2% increase in share price since the beginning of the year.

Q: Connecting to Mac share after sleep I am upgrading from an old iMac with macOS Monterey to a new Mac Mini with Studio Display and macOS Ventura.
On my new system I have both ethernet and wifi enabled, and file sharing for a number of folders. After the Mini has gone to sleep, I find that I can connect my iPad to the IP address for wifi, but not to the IP address for ethernet. Among other things, the .local name appears to resolve to the ethernet address, so that's annoying.
On my old iMac, I can connect to the ethernet address, so obviously something's different.
How can I connect to the ethernet address after my Mini has gone to sleep?
Why? you may ask. I would like to know what settings I might have got wrong, and I may not always want the wifi turned on.

If you've become a victim of drug addiction, you have no time to waste! The longer you wait, the worse the situation will get. Fortunately, here, at Delray Beach Halfway Houses, we offer you the salvation you're looking for. Don't attempt any self-detox procedures! For your safety, let our experts take over the task!
Come to any of our drug detox centers to begin the rehab process as soon as possible! The main problem with chemical addiction is that it is a progressive disorder. It not only gets worse with time, but it will eventually trigger a multitude of other co-occurring disorders on the side. And it's not fun to fight anxiety and depression, while struggling with the side-effects of drug addiction every day.
All your problems come from chemical intoxication. Opioids will disrupt the normal functionality of the opioid receptors, numbing them and affecting their ability to produce dopamine. At the same time, toxins will begin to accumulate in your cells, eventually leading to additional diseases and even organ failure and death.
In this context, the detoxification process stands out as the first line of defense against this scenario. For your sake, we advise you to only participate in professional detox programs, like the one we're offering. Self-detox procedures are neither effective nor safe, since you don't possess the knowledge to control and adjust the doses accordingly.
Fight off the manifestations of the co-occurring disorders, etc.
In many cases, drug addiction may trigger a variety of other mental and emotional problems. In others, it's preexistent psychological issues that trigger the predisposition towards chemical abuse. Regardless of the situation, our goal here is to fix it.
During the rehab treatment, you will join individual and group counseling sessions, both in the inpatient program and the IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program). The goal is to both help you open yourself towards others, find a shoulder to lean on, and find strength and support in others like you. As a result, you will gradually become more positive, confident, sociable, and peaceful and more emotionally balanced.
The relapse prevention strategy goes long-term. We are interested in supporting you to change your lifestyle entirely. By adopting a healthier diet, avoiding sedentarism, and developing upgraded life values, you increase your chances of remaining drug-free for good.
We offer educational courses on addiction, building a career, adopting a healthier lifestyle, avoiding the social triggers, and improve yourself as a human being. Come to our drug detox centers today, and reclaim your freedom!
At Delray Beach Halfway Houses, we offer you the opportunity to start your life all over again. Ask for our help and you shall receive it!
