Евдоким Михайлович Кравков (1744 — после 1796) — капитан-лейтенант, старовер.

Дворянин Евдоким Михайлович Кравков (1744 — после 1796) — морской офицер, участник войн с турками, участник первой архипелагской экспедиции русского флота (в Эгейском море), Хиосского сражения 24 июня [5 июля] и Чесменского сражения 24-26 июня [5-7 июля] 1770 г. в должности лейтенанта на 66-пушечным линейном корабле «Св. Иануарий» («Св. Януарий»).

Биография
Сын дворянина Владимирской губернии. В 1760 показал 2 души в Муромском уезде. Учился в Морском кадетском корпусе с 1761 г., в 1761 в 3-м классе, в арифметике. Гардемарин (1764). В 1768 выпущен мичманом. Командуя палубным ботом корабля «Св. Иануарий», плавал от Ревеля до Готланда и за постановку бота на мель и разбитие его разжалован в матросы на один месяц (1768). Лейтенант (1770).

В продолжении своей военно-морской службы, Кравков участвовал в 13 кампаниях, между прочим в Первой Архипелагской экспедиции, и бывал в Копенгагене, Портсмуте, других английских портах, и в Ливорно.

«Первая Архипелагская Экспедиция» русского флота

Лейтенант Е. М. Кравков, скорее всего на корабле «Святой Иануарий», принимал участие в русско-турецкой войне 1768—1774 годов. В 1769 году корабль был включён в состав Первой Архипелагской эскадры контр-адмирала Г. А. Спиридова, которая 26 июля(6 августа) вышла из Кронштадта и, пройдя по маршруту Копенгаген — Гулль — Ла-Манш — мыс Сент-Винсент — Гибралтар — Порт-Магон — Мальта, 18 февраля (1 марта) 1770 года пришла в Витуло, на полуострове Мани, южной части Мореи (Пелопоннес, Греция).

С 1 (12) по 3 (14) марта «Святой Иануарий»принимал участие в высадке десанта и обстреле крепости Корон. С 30 марта(10 апреля) по 10 (21) апреля корабль находился во главе отряда, который вёл боевые действия в районе крепости Наварин, в том числе бомбардировку береговых укреплений и высадку десантов, а после капитуляции крепости вошёл в Наваринскую бухту, куда подошли и остальные корабли первой Архипелагской эскадры. 17 (27) мая эскадра вышла в Колокинвский залив и, соединившись 22 мая (2 июня) у острова Цериго со второй Архипелагской эскадрой, в составе объединённого флота ушла на поиск неприятельских судов. 24 июня (5 июля) 1770 года во время Хиосского сражения находился в составе кордебаталии. С июля по ноябрь того же года корабль находился в составе эскадры, крейсировавшей северной части Архипелага, в том числе 23 июля (3 августа) принимал участие в бомбардировке крепости Пелари на Лемносе, а 4 (15) декабря прибыл в порт Аузу (ныне Наусса), на острове Парос.

Осада и Взятие Наварина

Весной 1770 г. в ходе архипелагской экспедиции, Евдоким Михайлович участвовал в осаде турецкой крепости Наварин — нынешний Пилос, на полуострове Пелопоннес, в Греции. Два линейных корабля («Святой Иануарий», «Трёх святителей») и фрегат («Святой Николай») под общим командованием И. А. Ганнибала (брата деда Пушкина) осадили Наварин. Действия против Наварина начались 30 марта (9 апреля), 10 (21) апреля русские заняли Наварин.

Чесменское Сражение

В качестве лейтенанта на линейном корабле «Св. Иануарий» (66-ти пушечный, командир капитан 1-го ранга Борисов Иван Антонович), Евдоким Михайлович участвовал в Хиосском и Чесменском сражениях (24 −26 июня [5 −7 июля] 1770 года) — между российским флотом Первой Архипелагской экспедиции и османским флотом во время русско-турецкой войны 1768—1774 годов.

В ходе сражения, русский флот, выстроен в линию баталии, сблизился c турецким флотом, который был больше чем в два раза сильнее русского, и победил его, заставив отойти из Хиосского пролива в Чесменскую бухту. Там, через два дня, 26 июня (7 июля), турецкий флот был полностью уничтожен.

«Святой Иануарий», на котором служил лейтенант Кравков, входил в русскую линию баталии четвёртым по счёту, и первым кораблём в основной части линии (кордебаталии) под общей командой А. Орлова.

Как показывает Е. В. Тарле, в ходе сражения «Святой Иануарий», вместе с «Тремя Иерархами», атаковал громадный сто-пушечный корабль турецкого капитана-паши, так и называвшийся «Капитан Паша», и беспощадно обстреливал его, так, что Турки решили увести его прочь.

Возвращение в Россию и дальнейшие плавания

Из-за болезни, в мае 1771 г., генерал-аншеф А.Г. Орлов отправил лейтенанта Кравкова из Ливорно (Италия) сухим путём в С.-Петербург, где он был определён в береговую корабельную комиссию асессором.

В 1772 г. Кравков был командирован в Архангельск, причём ему были поручены в команду гардемарины морского корпуса. Из Архангельска он ходил до Ревеля. После этого, по приказу вице-президента адмиралтейской коллегии, графа И.Г. Чернышева, Кравков был командирован в Петербург, откуда снова был отправлен к Ревельскому порту.

По собственному желанию, Кравков был назначен в эскадру контр-адмирала С.К. Грейга, которая 2 ноября (21 октября) 1773 г. вышла из Кронштадта в Архипелаг путём Ревеля, Копенгагена, Портсмута, Ливорно и наконец в Архипелаг до Дарданелл.  Эскадра Грейга 22 (11) февраля 1774 года прибыла в Ливорно. После окончания войны эта эскадра 21(10) августа вышла в Аузу. После заключения мира с Турцией 10 (21) июля 1774 года, основные силы русского флота покинули Архипелаг. В 1775 году в Балтийское море вышли оставшиеся корабли.

Кравков был произведён в Капитан-лейтенанты 20.08.1775.

По возвращении в Кронштадт, в 1776 г. Кравков состоял в эскадре Грейга для экзерциций от Кронштадта до Красной Горки. В том же году его командировали в Азовскую флотилию.

После службы в эскадре Грейга в 1776 г., в 1777 г. ходил в Чёрное море на крейсирование между Суджук-Кале и Кафой.

В 1777, по случаю болезни (герния) уволен от службы и вышел в отставку с чином капитана 2-го ранга (07.01.1778). К своему прошению об отставке, Кравков приложил свидетельство от врачей о своём расстроенном здоровьи.  Ему тогда было 33 года.

Явившись в С.-Петербург хлопотать о пенсии, поскольку «очень бедствовал», при протекции графа Р. И. Воронцова определен заседателем во Владимирский верхний земский суд. В 1781 заседатель верхнего земского суда Пензенского наместничества в том же чине.

Раскольники и арест

Оставив службу, «попал в среду раскольников; некоторое время провел в скитах; в 1784 был задержан в Нижнем Новгороде, одетый в простое крестьянское платье и с бородой».

Раскольники в то время уже не подвергались никаким преследованиям; но дворянин, штаб-офицер, раскольник — это было явление столь необычное, что нижегородский ген.-губ. Ребиндер счел нужным донести об этом в Петербург и по приказанию кн. Вяземского Кравков был доставлен в Тайную Канцелярию. Здесь его долго усовещивали с той именно точки зрения, что неприлично просвещенному человеку следовать учению фанатиков и изуверов, людей совершенно непросвещенных. Кравков неохотно давал ответы, но стоял твердо на том, что он «не только духовенство, но и церковь не почитает, таинств принимать не желает»; он говорил, что его могут пытать и мучить, а ничего другого он не скажет и желает быть отпущенным за границу и там жить с раскольниками. Кравкова не пытали и не мучили, а он в течение двух почти месяцев, содержимый в Тайной Канцелярии, не сказал более ни слова. Не подействовали увещания митрополита Гавриила (в феврале 1785 г.). 17 февраля 1785 г. последовал указ, чтобы Кравкова, как человека, который «против звания своего делает поведением и жизнию своею нетерпимый в обществе соблазн», заключить в Ревельскую крепость, где, видимо, и скончался. По крайней мере, судя по списку заключённых в 1796 г., Евдоким Михайлович Кравков был ещё жив в том году, всё ещё занимая каземат в Ревельской крепости.

Е. М. Кравков в Литературе

8 (20) мая 1884 г., великий русский писатель Граф Лев Николаевич Толстой отметил в своём дневнике: «Читал о Кравкове в Ист[орическом] вестн[ике]. Важно.»

Лев Николаевич имел ввиду очерк Д. Л. Мордовцева «Социалист прошлого века» («Исторический вестник», 1884, № 1, 2) — о Е. М. Кравкове, заточенном по распоряжению Екатерины II в Ревельскую крепость.

Участники Русско-турецких войн


You may remember our recent article about a a bullet-proof suit named the Diamond Armor, supposedly the most expensive men's suit in the world. And since bullet-proof apparel seems to be in vogue, thanks to a partnership between Over All Master Cloth (O.M.A.C) and renowned french shoe maker Atelier Heschung, a special pair of shoes, that can protect your feet from a spray of bullets, is now on the market.
The S/S 2014 collection, named the Radial Low Kevlar shoe, features a lightweight kevlar upper construction, which is a material normally used for making body armour and other bullet-resistant equipment.
The Kevlar shoes are hand-sewn at each stage of production and feature supple calf leather accents along the collar and heel.
The brand recently conducted a 'field test', which was performed and recorded on location at the Arcadia Police Department Gun Range in California, where the shoes were fully tested for durability, construction and functionality. Check out the video here to see the point where the shoes bounce off the bullets, well almost!

American Odessey	 September 11, 2018 September 11, 2018
The Invasion of Irving Park by General Darren and his troops
Olumide Ebimo Amungo
A visit to one of New York's neighborhood parks got me acquainted with the people who keep the park system functioning.
It was a balmy day and as is so often the case, I found myself gravitating to one of the parks in New York. I walked into Irving Park, situated between Knickerbocker and Wilson Avenues and Halsey street in Bushwick. It was around midday and the park was sparse with people. The sun was high up and the few benches under trees where taken by people who were either reading, contemplating or discussing with a partner.
I found a bench with a young girl dressed as millennials are wont to, in a blue jean with its own form of hipster disfigurement, a low-cut blouse and a pair of large square sun glasses that would not look lost on the face of a celebrity like Beyoncé or Madonna. I suspect tough it was probably a Chinese replica. The young lady looked like she was expecting someone; someone who seems to have stood her up because she looked repeatedly at her phone at the entrance of the park. My greeting was ignored as I sat at the far end of the bench. If there was another bench under the shade I would have let her be by herself.
I read my book and raised my head now and then to look at the shifting tide of people flowing gently through the park. Two dog walkers met up and unleashed their dogs to play and in a burst of frantic energy the dogs zipped about the park like greyhounds after a rabbit as their owners, a man and woman, discussed, giggled and looked at their dogs happily racing each other.
It was at that time that the bus arrived. Driving in through the entrance on Knickerbocker Avenue by Weirfield street, it came to a stop a few paces from where I sat, the doors opened and a bevy of women got off. Armed with gardening weaponry, they took their positions and waited. Then he disembarked, a tall huge man with a presence. He looked around the park, pointed in different directions and gave his command and the women fanned out. Following in tandem, the man with the expert efficiency of an army general, pointed in every direction of the park that needed cleaning. The women scoured the park for trash, emptied the bins, and swept off litter from the walkways. In the space of a few minutes, the man and his troop of cleaning warriors had combed the park and stripped the place bare of garbage and litter.
Impressed by the efficient deployment I just witnessed, I walked up to the man commanding this operation. He told me his name is Darren and I told him I would call him General Darren. He worked for the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The department of the government of New York City responsible for maintaining the city's parks system, preserving and maintaining the ecological diversity of the city's natural areas, and furnishing recreational opportunities for city's residents and visitors.
General Darren told me that the department maintains more than 1,700 parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities across the five boroughs. It is responsible for over 1,000 playgrounds, 800 playing fields, 550 tennis courts, 35 major recreation centers, 66 pools, 14 miles (23 km) of beaches, and 13 golf courses, as well as seven nature centers, six ice skating rinks, over 2000 greenstreets and four major stadiums. It takes care of major municipal parks including Central Park which receives 35 million visitors annually, Prospect Park, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Forest Park, and Washington Square Park. The largest is Pelham Bay Park, followed by the Staten Island Greenbelt.
I have since found out that parks are an integral part of the lives of New Yorkers, and now I know that it is people like General Darren and his troop who keep them clean for the people to enjoy. One sees this enjoyment and utilization of the parks that are usually full of joggers, cyclist and screaming kids playing on swings, slides and water spouts.
Before he left me to marshal out further instructions to his troops, I told General Darren what a great job him and his team were doing. The big man looked at me, almost betraying emotions, he said a big thank you.
"It sure feels good to be appreciated" he told me.
Then he dashed off again to throw himself in the thick of the battle to keep the parks of New York clean.

Getting to the Edge
Channel pros who want to offer edge computing solutions will have to acquire skills outside their traditional lane and be able to explain the business benefits to SMB customers. By Colleen Frye
Reader ROI:
EDGE COMPUTING brings data and compute closer to users to deliver real-time business intelligence and operational improvements.
SKILLS REQUIRED include data analytics, ETL, and programming, plus software architecture, cloud, IoT, and vertical expertise.
CHANNEL PROS CAN get in on the action by developing deep knowledge of a customer's business, hiring for skills, or partnering.
ACCORDING TO GARTNER, some 10% of business data is created and processed outside a traditional data center or cloud at present, a figure that will rise to 75% by 2025. That means the "edge" is increasingly where the action is in IT. Edge computing is all about bringing compute and data closer to the user, with the goal of delivering real-time intelligence to help businesses increase efficiencies and competitive advantage.
Channel pros who want to get in on this action, however, will have to acquire new skills, develop vertical expertise or look to partner, and learn to explain the business benefits to their SMB customers.
If that sounds like a high mountain to climb, the reward is worth it, according to Sam Barhoumeh, founder and CEO of Ready Networks, an 80-person global cloud MSP headquartered in North Palm Beach, Fla. "There's a lot of benefits that the customer can get with [edge computing]," he says. "From an MSP standpoint, it stands to be a great revenue-generating vehicle for them as well."
In 2020, the edge computing market was valued at $2.28 billion, according to MarketsandMarkets, and is expected to reach nearly $11 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 29.4%. Driving this growth is the adoption of the Internet of Things, sensors and data analysis tools, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and other technological innovations that are delivering performance and productivity gains for enterprises across industries, MarketsandMarkets reports.
Sam Barhoumeh
Barhoumeh puts it simply: "The primary purpose of edge computing is to actually simplify the customer service experience and allow things to happen faster, in a shorter period of time."
Edge computing "helps reduce a lot of latency between the time that your data needs to get from point A to point B," explains Chuck Ma, director of cloud strategy at Buchanan Technologies, a 750-person MSP in Grapevine, Texas. "It also can be a little bit more reliable, because now you're not having to go through so many hops."
Ideal use cases for edge computing involve data that is urgent or business critical, explains Stephanie Atkinson, CEO and founder of market research firm Compass Intelligence. These include equipment maintenance and predictive failure, public safety communications, cold chain assets, healthcare, call centers, and more. She adds that not every application requires edge computing, and not all data being collected requires immediate attention. Rather, the focus should be on "things that are very vital or critical to my business, to my operations, to providing good customer service," she says, adding that "we have to become smarter around the data that we do think is important for our business."
Is Edge for SMBs?
With many technological innovations, larger enterprises are the early adopters, but recent research from Techaisle finds that about 74% of SMBs are investing in edge, and "99% of them have prioritized cloud, and edge is an extension of that cloud," says Anurag Agrawal, the analyst firm's founder and chief global analyst.
Techaisle calls edge "the glue that optimizes and empowers distributed work environments." Agrawal says that SMBs who deploy edge technologies to improve customer experience or achieve better cost efficiency are finding some unexpected benefits too. According to his research, these include improved controls through better operations monitoring, increased business agility by improving processes, developing new products and services, lower costs through increased productivity and automation, and higher revenue from existing products and services (see chart). "So that makes it extremely, extremely beneficial for the innovative and forward-looking SMBs," Agrawal says.

I have coded some javascript with jquery so that when the user clicks edit the rows are populated by input boxes.
var click = 1;

if (click == 1) {
    $('#examplePostButton').click(function() {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('<input type="text" value="Post Title" size="10"/>');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('<input type="text" value="First 35 characters of     post........" size="20"/>');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('<select><option>Animation</option><option>Programing</option>        <option>Robotics</option><option>Other</option></select>');
        click = 2;
    });
}

if (click == 2) {
    $('#examplePostButton').click(function() {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('Post Title');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('First 35 characters of post........');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('Post Tag');
        click = 1;
    });
}

For some reason you can click the edit button once and it changes into input boxes. Then when you click it a second time it will not change the variable and will not revert back to non input boxes. I have checked my code with multiple js and jquery validators so I am no quite sure why the second click function isn't working.

tl:dr:I have some javascript and jquery code, isnt working, help.

A: You seem to have a logic problem. You must test the value of click inside the event handler. You probably wanted this :
var click = 1;
$('#examplePostButton').click(function() {
    if (click == 1) {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('<input type="text" value="Post Title" size="10"/>');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('<input type="text" value="First 35 characters of     post........" size="20"/>');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('<select><option>Animation</option><option>Programing</option>        <option>Robotics</option><option>Other</option></select>');
        click = 2;
    } else if (click == 2) {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('Post Title');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('First 35 characters of post........');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('Post Tag');
        click = 1;
    }
});

Note that you may avoid the use of a global click variable by using a closure :
(function(){
    var click = 1;
    $('#examplePostButton').click(function() {
         ... rest of the code is identical
    });
)();

A: Your script code just binded at the first time page loaded and then one "click" function was binded, you should edit follow:
var click = 1;

$('#examplePostButton').click(function () {
    if (click == 1) {
       $('#examplePostTitle').html('<input type="text" value="Post Title" size="10"/>');
       $('#examplePostContent').html('<input type="text" value="First 35 charecters of post........" size="20" />');
       $('#examplePostTag').html('<select><option>Animation</option><option>Programing</option><option>Robotics</option><option>Other</option></select>');
       click = 2;
    } else if (click == 2) {
       $('#examplePostTitle').html('Post Title');
       $('#examplePostContent').html('First 35 charecters of post........');
       $('#examplePostTag').html('Post Tag');
       click = 1;
    }

});

A: It's working just fine!
The code you posted will run when the page is loaded. But the way it is coded, it attached two event handlers to the edit-cell.
The first event handler will change the cell contents, the second one will run as well and change it right back. And it's all happening so fast you can't see it.
Check out my modifications on http://jsfiddle.net/NkeAx/3/:
$('#examplePostButton').click(function () {
    if (click == 1) {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('<input type="text" value="Post Title" size="10"/>');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('<input type="text" value="First 35 charecters of post........" size="20" />');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('<select><option>Animation</option><option>Programing</option><option>Robotics</option><option>Other</option></select>');
        click = 2;
    } else if (click == 2) {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('Post Title');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('First 35 charecters of post........');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('Post Tag');
        click = 1;
    }
});

You're left with one event handler which will do the toggling.

A: Here is the solution...
var click = 1;
$('#examplePostButton').click(function(){
if (click == 1) {

        $('#examplePostTitle').html('<input type="text" value="Post Title" size="10"/>');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('<input type="text" value="First 35 charecters of post........" size="20" />');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('<select><option>Animation</option><option>Programing</option><option>Robotics</option><option>Other</option></select>');
        click = 2;
       return false;

}

if (click == 2) {
        $('#examplePostTitle').html('Post Title');
        $('#examplePostContent').html('First 35 charecters of post........');
        $('#examplePostTag').html('Post Tag');
        click = 1;
}

});

I've been playing music for 4-5 years now, and have been writing music properly for just under 2 years alongside my rhythm guitarist and best friend Sam. We have an album in the works with about 5 songs completed, and are looking to record and release a 3 track EP named 'The Fuzzy EP' before summer of 2019. Our band is currently named 'King Fuzz' named after our love for Fuzzy, Overdrive guitar and bass tones. We have recorded the EP in demo tracks so we have material to show if you are interested. The current line up is me on lead/rhythm guitar and lead vocals, and Sam on rhythm/lead. We are desperately looking for a bass player and a drummer, preferably at least one of you needs to be able to hold solid backing vocals and other vocal support. We are extremely committed to music and our music making, and are desperate to get our band going, playing gigs and releasing music. Although I am away studying at the London College of Music, I have access to the state of the art Uni recording studios in which I intend on using to record the bands music.
Green Day, Muse, Biffy Clyro, Stereophonics, Highly Suspect, Red hot chilli peppers, Nothing but thieves, arctic monkeys, Royal Blood, Hunter and the bear.
Our main genre is Punk/alternative, however we like to implement a wide range of genres into our style.

Finally the long awaited iPad 2 secrets are revealed. Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched the new generation of iPad at the Apples launch event in San Francisco. Apple controlled a 90% share in the tablet market and Steve Jobs referred that the year 2011 was the 'year of copycats'. The new generation of iPad, i.e; iPad 2 will be 33% slimmer, 0.2 pounds lighter than its predecessor.
The new iPad 2 will feature a dual Core processor (A5 Chip) that is twice as fast, and nine times faster graphics performance than the first generation iPad. It will be loaded with iOS 4.3 and feature dual cameras (720p and VGA). This should be ideal for Facetime! The battery life of 10 hours will be the same as its predecessor. Magnets are built inside the new iPad. This will allow you to use a new protective case for the iPad 2 which come in 10 different colours. The cases will sold at $39 and $69.
The iPad will be available on March 11th on the Apple Store. There will be two versions- WiFi and the WiFi and 3G. The prices will be the same as the previous one. The WiFi version will cost $499, $599 and $699 for 16GB, 32GB and 64GB respectively. And, the 3G version is priced at $629 $729 and $829. It will be released in the UK, two weeks later, i.e; on March 25th and the prices will be the same as the previous iPad. Orange and T Mobile will be the lead operators for the iPad 2 in the UK.

Honeywell is a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; turbochargers; and performance materials. Honeywell's operations in Malaysia started in 1985 and today it employs over 1,450 employees in six cities across Malaysia including Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Penang, Kemaman and Johor Bahru. Honeywell's technologies and solutions have been supporting Malaysia in its development of a safer, more secure and energy efficient society.
Today, three of Honeywell's business groups are operating in Malaysia.
Honeywell Aerospace operates out of a 220,000-square-foot facility in Penang that officially opened in January 2009. The Penang facility produces integrated avionics systems for commercial, business and general aviation and military aircraft.
Honeywell Automation and Control Solutions offers a complete portfolio of innovative products, solutions and systems to create safer, more comfortable, more secure, more productive and more energy efficient environments at home and at work. In Selangor, Honeywell has a manufacturing facility for electrical devices and systems.
In terms of oil and gas, Honeywell provides engineering, design and fabrication of process plants and equipment for gas processing and hydrogen industries in Malaysia. Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT) manufactures membranes, which remove impurities from natural gas, at our facility in Penang for distribution to customers worldwide. PMT also provides refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration applications, as well as caprolactam for textile yarn production.
"Malaysia has been identified as one of Honeywell's high growth markets for its strategic position in the global and ASEAN trade system," says Jim Bujold, president of Honeywell Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines). "Since we started operating in this country, we have received strong assistance from its government for our growth." There are two examples in particular:
MIDA has played a very instrumental role in the timely start-up and operations of Honeywell's UOP Malaysia Sdn Bhd and Honeywell Aerospace Avionics Penang. MIDA has granted the Special Incentive Program to these entities of Honeywell since their establishment, which includes favorable tax policies, R&D fund and talent development grants. MIDA's proactive approach to understand the needs of the business and offering assistance where required is commendable.

Q: R: Merge information from 2 columns together I have created an example dataframe which has 3 different groups with 2 columns for each group.
Group_1 shows the total amount of participants and Group_1_Pos shows how many of the total participants are positive, etc:
df1 <- structure(list(Date = c("2016", "2017", "2018", "2019"),
                       Group_1 = c("100", "200", "300", "400"),
                       Group_1_Pos = c("10", "20", "30", "40"),
                       Group_2 = c("500", "600", "700", "800"),
                       Group_2_Pos = c("50", "60", "70", "80"),
                       Group_3 = c("900", "1000", "1100", "1200"),
                       Group_3_Pos = c("90", "100", "110", "120")),
                  class = "data.frame", row.names=c("1", "2", "3", "4"))
> df1
  Date Group_1 Group_1_Pos Group_2 Group_2_Pos Group_3 Group_3_Pos
1 2016     100          10     500          50     900          90
2 2017     200          20     600          60    1000         100
3 2018     300          30     700          70    1100         110
4 2019     400          40     800          80    1200         120

I would like to combine the total participant columns together with the positive participant columns in a way that keeps both values still seperated with brackets. As an example:
  Date      Group_1    Group_2     Group_3
1 2016     100 (10)    500 (50)    900 (90)
2 2017     200 (20)    600 (60)  1000 (100)
3 2018     300 (30)    700 (70)  1100 (110)
4 2019     400 (40)    800 (80)  1200 (120)

So in this example I add the positive participants in () brackets next to the total participants and only keep 3 columns for the 3 groups.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: Using dplyr you could go for something like:
library(dplyr)

df1 %>%
  mutate(Group_1 = paste0(Group_1, " (", Group_1_Pos, ")"),
         Group_2 = paste0(Group_2, " (", Group_2_Pos, ")"),
         Group_3 = paste0(Group_3, " (", Group_3_Pos, ")"),) %>%
  select(-contains("Pos"))

#   Date  Group_1  Group_2    Group_3
# 1 2016 100 (10) 500 (50)   900 (90)
# 2 2017 200 (20) 600 (60) 1000 (100)
# 3 2018 300 (30) 700 (70) 1100 (110)
# 4 2019 400 (40) 800 (80) 1200 (120)

A: A purrr-dplyr-stringr:
    other_values <- df1[,seq(1,ncol(df1),2)]
       df1 %>%
   select(-contains("Pos")) %>%
   purrr::map2_df(.,other_values,
                  function(x,y) paste0(x," (",y,")")) %>%

   mutate(Date=stringr::str_remove_all(Date,"\\s.*"))
# A tibble: 4 x 4
  Date  Group_1  Group_2  Group_3
  <chr> <chr>    <chr>    <chr>
1 2016  100 (10) 500 (50) 900 (90)
2 2017  200 (20) 600 (60) 1000 (100)
3 2018  300 (30) 700 (70) 1100 (110)
4 2019  400 (40) 800 (80) 1200 (120)

A: Here is a base R way of doing what the question asks for.
Get the columns to be pasted with a regex and grep, then loop through the indices vector and paste them together. Finally, cbind the first column and this result.
inx <- grep("\\d$", names(df1))
tmp <- sapply(inx, function(i) paste(df1[[i]], paste0("(", df1[[i + 1]], ")")))
res <- cbind(df1[1], tmp)
names(res)[-1] <- names(df1)[inx]

res
#  Date  Group_1  Group_2    Group_3
#1 2016 100 (10) 500 (50)   900 (90)
#2 2017 200 (20) 600 (60) 1000 (100)
#3 2018 300 (30) 700 (70) 1100 (110)
#4 2019 400 (40) 800 (80) 1200 (120)

Final clean up.
rm(inx, tmp)

A: Given 3 groups, here is a base R solution that can give you the desired output
n <- 3
dfout <- cbind(df1[1],
               `colnames<-`(sapply(seq(n), function(k) paste0(df[[x <- paste0("Group_",k)]]," (", df[[paste0(x,"_Pos")]],")")),
                            paste0("Group",seq(n))))

such that
> dfout
  Date   Group1   Group2     Group3
1 2016 100 (10) 500 (50)   900 (90)
2 2017 200 (20) 600 (60) 1000 (100)
3 2018 300 (30) 700 (70) 1100 (110)
4 2019 400 (40) 800 (80) 1200 (120)

A: Here is a more general tidyverse solution
library(tidyverse)
df1 %>%
      rename_at(
        vars(contains("Pos")),
        ~ str_remove(., "_Pos") %>% str_remove("Group_") %>% str_c("Pos", ., sep = "_")
      ) %>%
      pivot_longer(Group_1:Pos_3,
                   names_to = c(".value", "set"),
                   names_sep = "_") %>%
      mutate(Pos = Pos %>% str_c("(", ., ")")) %>%
      unite("result", Group:Pos, sep = "") %>%
      pivot_wider(names_from = set, values_from = result)


Abstract: Historically, development in Brazilian Amazon was promoted by permits of deforestation and little territory control or supervision. However, due to the importance of this biome for biodiversity and ecosystem balance in a global perspective, Brazilian's government has tighten deforestation control. Since 2004, political, institutional and market mechanisms have been implemented and annuals rates reduced from near 20,000 km² to 6,000 km² in 10 years. Despite several empirical agents behavior models in literature indicate for a spatial process of deforestation, all aspects of the spatial dynamic of deforestation has not been explored yet. In this context, this work studies the spatial pattern of deforestation in a cross-section and time perspective using exploratory spatial data analysis techniques. For these purposes, we used global and local analysis estimating Moran's I statistic and Local Indicator of Spatial Association clusters maps. Data consisted in annual deforestation by municipality for Brazilian's Legal Amazon, composed by 686 municipalities, within a 12 year period: from 2002 to 2013. Statistics were estimated for three variables: absolute deforestation and two indexes calculated annually by municipality. The first one represents the fraction of the total area deforested in each year and the second one is the cumulative sum of the first index. Considering the absolute deforestation analysis we clarify locations that most contribute for deforestation in a macro regional perspective. The purpose of the first index is to identify municipalities with most environmental degradation and the second index tries to capture a maximization behavior of land use agents. Global univariate results indicate the existence of high spatial correlation dependency. Moreover, despite the efficacy of the policy mechanisms adopted for controlling and reducing the level of deforestation in Legal Amazon, Moran's I positive values show persistent spatial concentration of deforestation. This suggests that policy control mechanisms have achieved relative success to reduce the average deforestation but have not influenced its spatial dispersion. As expected, local analysis show clusters in Arch of Deforestation region, known for being the key region of deforestation. Furthermore, the low frequency of divergent neighbors, i. e., high-low and low-high clusters, supports the hypothesis of high spillover effects, as pointed out by high Moran's I values. Comparing annual results show that municipalities with historically high relative deforestation rate presented reduction in forest area conversion, as their detachment in clusters ceased, although we cannot judge if by market, legal or political aspects. Also, we highlight the different implication of cross sectional and temporal analyses for policy selection. Municipalities that detaches in cross section should suffer control and legal action and detachment in temporal analysis indicates necessity of environmental recover and conservation actions.

Many of us grew up keeping diaries where we wrote of our teen dramas, current crush du jour and our most intimate secrets, though this practice was often dropped with the transition into adulthood. If you are looking to improve your mental health, you may want to get back into this habit with its shiny new adult name: journaling.
Journaling for mental health has become more popular in our culture as habits that support and encourage good mental health practices have become more mainstream. It takes no special equipment, just setting aside a few minutes every day to enable this practice to become a habit. Some folks journal throughout the day, others set a reminder alarm at a particular time, and some people find it easier to establish new habits by attaching them to a habit they already maintain, such as journaling after brushing one's teeth.
The easiest way to journal is to mind dump, and that is exactly what it sounds like: writing down all your thoughts and feelings about what happened during the day. This can often bring a sense of clarity, help process emotions and enable us to identify patterns of thought, whether helpful or destructive. Some people draw in addition to writing – however it works for you.
Another way to journal is to ask yourself a set of specific questions each day. What excited you? What drained you? What supported you? What did you learn? What are three things you are grateful for? These questions can help identify the things that support or diminish you in your daily life.
Campbell Walker, a YouTube content creator known as Struthless and author of Your Head is a Houseboat: A Chaotic Guide to Mental Clarity, said asking himself these questions for a month helped him identify alcohol and social media as consistent triggers that increased his depression and anxiety and made it harder for him to function. He could no longer shrug away his mental health issues and dysfunctional state while knowing exactly what caused it. After limiting his consumption of both, he was able to turn his life around and finally begin to achieve his personal goals.
For some of us, it is the people in our lives that may support or diminish us. If your friends, partner or family are consistently on your support or drain list, it can provide some helpful clarity about the state of your personal relationships and how they affect your mental health.
We can also use the clarity journaling provides to make decisions. Sometimes it is a matter of writing objectively about the problem and the options. We can even go beyond practical options to brainstorm our wildest dreams. In my own personal life, I felt stuck in a cycle of low-wage jobs. In brainstorming my wildest dreams, the idea of self-employment came up. My practical self immediately dismissed the idea, but the more I thought about it, and journaled about it, the more I realized it was possible. In 2014 I decided to give myself three months to make it or give up. I'm now nine years into marketing my skills and taking contract jobs on my terms, and I love it. That journaling brainstorm changed my life.
Journaling can also provide an outlook for the future. Sometimes we can feel mired in a routine that no longer provides joy or satisfaction. Without a direction to move into, these feelings can contribute to depression, worsening mental health or even addiction. We can look at ourselves five years into the future and ask what our future selves may desire.
Sometimes having a dream and formulating the practical steps needed to reach it can provide the impetus we need to yank ourselves out of a rut and into better routines and outlooks. Walker says that one question that helped him move into his current successful life was, "If I knew I couldn't fail, what would I do?" Reflections on this question can open up opportunities we never imagined.
Journaling can take time to develop as a habit, but the rewards become apparent rather quickly as we move from a state of constant reactionary emotions to thoughtful contemplation that can drastically reduce stress and anxiety, give clarity and hope and support a life worth the effort of living.

Revolutionary Computer Game faces Crackdown in Iran
By editor on 20th June 2016 in Communication, Politics, Security
A number of artists in Iran also helped with the development of "Black Friday." Khonsari said, "Out of concern for their safety, they felt pressured to leave the country and did so because of the work on the project."
Once word about the game got out, Iranian hard-line newspaper Kayhan called it anti-Iranian. Shortly afterward, the National Foundation for Computer Games (NFCG) banned "Black Friday" and even raided video game stores in Tehran and other cities. NFCG director Hassan Karimi also condemned the game as anti-Iranian, saying, "Games like this can poison the minds of the youth and young adults about their country by means of false and distorted information, and also damage their spirits."
Still, Khonsari hopes "Black Friday" will initiate dialogue. "This is a game that should be experienced by Iranians, for no other reason than to see what someone else tells of this narrative and also so they can [potentially] disagree with it." He added, "If you don't like what you're playing and you feel it is false, then start a conversation."

The Story:
The movie Black Hawk Down is based on a true story, adapted from the book Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden.
October 3, 1993: At the zenith of the US involvement in Somalia, a team of Rangers and Delta Force plan a raid on a meeting of Somali warlords. The plan calls for 4 Black Hawk helicopters to drop 4 teams of troops around the building where the meeting was taking place, who would then raid the building and arrest selected targets. Then, a back-up ground force would move in to take the prisoners away.
Once the Rangers and Delta Force drop from the Black Hawks into Mogadishu, the raid goes terribly wrong. The forces come under an unanticipated barrage of gunfire from all sides. As more troops are dropped into the streets, the gunfire intensifies. Members of the militia attempt to prevent the raid, and citizens of Mogadishu, sick of US interference in their country, face off against the US.
With the ground forces pinned in their positions, the Black Hawks hover overhead, trying to provide shielding fire and to disperse the crowds of civilians in the streets. When 2 Black Hawks are shot down in the first half an hour of the raid, one of the largest recent US military rescue missions times takes place.
The ground force is sent in to rescue the crews of the downed helicopters, but they soon they find themselves under heavy gunfire and suffer casualties. Now, over 100 soldiers must spend a night fighting for their lives. When the fighting ends the next morning, 18 US soldiers are dead and over 70 have been injured, while over 1000 Somalis are injured and 500 have been killed.
Orlando's Role:
Orlando will play Private First Class Todd Blackburn in Black Hawk Down, an 18 year old Ranger (the youngest in his squad). Seconds after the attack begins, Blackburn fell out of the helicopter, and sustained very serious injuries.

By Champion Bets
The George Main Stakes is a Group 1 weight-for-age race over 1600 metres, run at Randwick Racecourse during the Spring Carnival. The race is named after George Main, who was a former chairman of the Australian Jockey Club, one of the forerunners to the Australian Turf Club.
The race has been around since 1945 and has some superstars of the turf on its honour roll – big winners include horses such as Kingston Town, Vo Rogue, Shaftsbury Avenue, Lohnro and More Joyous. More recently, the race has been dominated by champion mare Winx. The George Main was a regular step in Winx's spring campaigns, and she won the race three years in a row between 2016 and 2018.
The race had held Principal Race or Group 1 status since its 1945 inception, and has always been run over 1,600 or a mile. Its place on the calendar means it often attracts horses aimed at major races later in the Spring Carnival, as thus often boasts a high-quality field. The winner of the race gains a guaranteed start in the Group 1 Epsom Handicap.

The University of Miami women's track and field team opened the 2003 outdoor season recording four victories, qualifying eight for the NCAA Regional Championships and breaking two school records at the Hurricane Invitational at Cobb Stadium in Coral Gables, FL.
Junior Jennifer Penrose won the shot put with a school-record and NCAA Regional qualifying mark of 15.79 meters (51-09.75). Penrose, the 2001 Big East Champion, surpassed her own school-record by more than two feet.
Senior Adrienne Moss finished second in the shot put and also qualified for the NCAA Regionals with a toss of 15.08 meters (49-05.75).
All-American Charlette Greggs led a 1-2 Hurricane finish in the 200-meters posting an NCAA Regional qualifying time of 23.19 seconds. Senior All-American Sashanie Simpson finished second with an NCAA Regional qualifying mark of 23.69 seconds.
Simpson later joined senior All-American Patricia Pearson, sophomore Wiande Moore and senior All-America Saraque Whittaker in winning the 4×400-meter relay. Their winning time of 3:39.36 qualifies them for the NCAA Regional Championships.
Senior All-American Gina Harris won the long jump with a leap of 5.87 meters (19-03.25), while senior Megan Cobb broke the school-record in the hammer throw with a mark of 48.48 meters (159-01.00).
Other Hurricanes qualifying for NCAA Regionals include freshman India Ransom in the 100-meters, sophomore Amber Williams in the 100-meter hurdles and the 4×100-meter relay.
Miami returns to action at the Florida Relays, March 27-29, in Gainesville, FL.
University of Miami junior Kenneth Frank qualified for the Big East Outdoor championships recording a time of 14.90 in the 110-meter hurdles at the Hurricane Invitational in Coral Gables, FL.
The Hurricanes also received strong performances from freshman Alex Brutvan and senior Dan Boniface in the 3,000-meters. Brutvan finished third with a time of 8:46.65 while Boniface finished fourth with a time of 8:52.68.
The University of Miami swimming and diving team completed the final day of NCAA Championships Saturday night at Auburn University in Alabama.
Junior Manon Van Rooijen was the sole competitor for the Hurricanes. The Dutch Olympian swam in the 100-yard freestyle and finished 13th overall in the consolation final with a time of 49.82.
"(Van Rooijen's) first swim was decent, she looked a lot better than she did (during the previous day's swim)," coach James Sweeney said. "She definitely finished better than before."
Van Rooijen holds both the University of Miami and Big East Championship record in the 100 free as well as the 200 free.
Her top time in the 100 free is 49.11.
Sweeney noted that due to the difficulty of qualifying for NCAA's, it is rare that a swimmer performs better in the actual championships.

Hands on with LEGO DC Super-Villains
Jason July 26, 2018	News, Nintendo Switch, past, PC, Preview, PS4, Xbox One Leave a comment 1,442 Views
Traveller's Tales gets villainous with their first LEGO game focusing on the bad guys. We spent a little time with LEGO DC Super-Villains at SDCC.
It's good to be bad
LEGO games are, quite honestly, a pretty standard occurrence. There doesn't seem to be a year that does not see at least one come and go. And most of the time, it feels like there are a few on the calendar. This year has already seen LEGO The Incredibles, and will soon see another released, though this next one has a twist.
That is, of course, that it focuses on the bad guys. Well, sort of. LEGO DC Super-Villains does cast you as a villain in the LEGO DCU, but it doesn't pit you against the Justice League. The game actually features a narrative that loosely follows the "Forever Evil" plat that played out in DC Comics during the New 52 era.
If you're unfamiliar, Forever Evil saw the League banished from the DC Universe. In their place, were their wicked doppelgängers from an alternate Earth. And these guys and girls were much, much worse than all but the most vile of DC's villainous stable. So it makes perfect sense then, that the bad guys would be the good… uh, well let's just call 'em "the not-evilest guys".
Familiarity, with some new elements
I didn't get to spend all that much time playing LEGO DC Super-Villains, but I liked what I saw. That's a statement that's coming from someone who's more than a little bored with LEGO games by the way.
They're all pretty same-y after all, even when developer Traveller's Tales tries to incorporate new features. Most LEGO games also have a very similar tone however, and that's one of the two things that are majorly different this time around.
While the gameplay is still what you expect to see, the feel is decidedly different. The whole "bad guy" vibe is definitely in play, and actually does make for a more lively time. Also, the create-a-villain feature figures directly into play, and is both new to superhero games and plenty of fun.
You can mix and match costume parts, change colors, and generally create your own DC Comics baddie. So if there's an original guy or gal that you've been picturing in your head, or a character from 'another publisher' that you'd like to bring into the DCU, you probably can. As you can imagine, not everything is possible within the editor, but plenty is.
Plenty to look forward to
While I know I said a lot of positive things above, I'm still not completely sold on LEGO DC Super-Villains. Yes, there's a lot to like here including some really nice looking graphics and great voice work, but in the end it's still another LEGO game.
And whether or not you're down for that is something that you're going to have to ask yourself as you consider diving in. For what it's worth though, this is the most fun I've had with a LEGO game in a while.
LEGO DC Super-Villains hits consoles and the PC this October.

It's challenging to find a free VPN that works in Canada. Most free services don't have Canadian servers, and of those that do, few are trustworthy.
Most free VPNs are slow and limit your bandwidth and data. Worse, they can threaten your privacy and expose your personal data. That's why I tested 33 free VPNs to find services that you can use safely from Canada. You can also use these VPNs to access Canadian content from other countries.
I recommend you use a low-cost premium service, like NordVPN. It's fast, gives you unlimited data and bandwidth, uses top-notch security protocols, and has hundreds of Canadian server choices.
Although each has its limits, all of the VPNs I recommend here are safe and fast enough to use for browsing, streaming, and torrenting.
Ready to find the best free VPN for you? Let's get to it!
Short on time? Here's a summary of the best free VPNs for Canada
NordVPN: High-speed access to 350 Canadian servers and SmartPlay DNS for unblocking international content seamlessly, like Netflix US. Try it risk-free with the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Windscribe: You get access to a Canadian server and 10GB free data per month, but you can't use it for streaming.
hide.me: P2P-friendly service with a Canadian server, but you're limited by a 2GB monthly data cap. That's enough for roughly eight hours of Spotify streaming.
TunnelBear: Access to 22 servers, including some in Canada, but 500MB of free data per month isn't enough to stream a whole movie.
Opera VPN: Free, unlimited data, but it only encrypts your Opera browser traffic.
The Best Free VPNs for Canada (Updated 2020)
I've tested 33 free VPNs, but only found 7 that work in Canada. Each of the services I recommend will protect your data and mask your IP address, but most have limited data, servers, and bandwidth. I've also included a premium VPN you can try risk-free for 30 days if you need an unlimited option.
NordVPN's Key Features
5,500+ worldwide servers, over 400 servers in Canada
No restrictions on data or bandwidth and blazing-fast speeds
256-bit AES encryption, Double VPN protection
No-logs policy, automatic kill switch
Risk-free, 30-day money-back guarantee
Works with: Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu, Showtime, BBC iPlayer, Sky Go, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Sling TV, Eurosport, ESPN
Compatible with: Chrome, Linux, Firefox, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Nvidia Shield, routers
NordVPN is my favorite VPN for Canada because it gives you unlimited data and bandwidth on 400+ high-speed Canadian servers. Outside Canada, it operates 5,500+ servers so you can access geoblocked content from all over the world. The best part is that you can try it risk-free for 30 days with its money-back guarantee.
Its apps are easy to use and come with NordVPN's SmartPlay DNS pre-configured. SmartPlay DNS helps you unblock more than 140 streaming services, like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and BBC iPlayer. It also allows you to unblock Canadian streaming platforms while you're traveling overseas.
Plus, with unlimited data and no bandwidth restrictions, you can stream hours of content without worrying about buffering or low-quality video. You're allowed six device connections at a time, so you can protect all of your devices without signing up for multiple subscriptions.
It's quick, too. In my tests, I measured excellent download speeds and was able to stream in high definition.
Another big plus is NordVPN's great security. It offers military-grade 256-bit AES encryption, boosted by a Double VPN feature that reroutes your data through two secure servers, rather than one. You get twice the protection from data leaks or third parties accessing or stealing your online info.
Unlike most free VPNs, NordVPN offers dedicated malware protection with its useful CyberSec feature. It doubles as an ad blocker to keep your streams free from popups.
If your VPN connection lapses, the automatic kill switch temporarily disconnects you from the internet to prevent leaks.
NordVPN's 24/7 live chat support is available day or night if you have questions about the servers or need help with your VPN connection.

Windscribe's Key Features
Access to servers in ten countries, including Canada
10GB monthly data limit for free
Unlimited device connections
No session logs or IP timestamps
P2P-friendly VPN
Works with: Kodi, YouTube
Compatible with: Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux, Android, Chrome, Firefox
Windscribe offers a generous free plan. As a free user, you get access to servers in ten countries, including Canada, the US, and the UK. So whether you're at home or abroad, you can access geo-specific content, like news articles from Canada, and around the world.
It's not great for streaming. You don't get access to Windflix. That's Windscibe's equivalent to NordVPN's SmartPlay DNS feature, which connects you to Netflix. And in my tests, I wasn't able to unblock Netflix US, Hulu, or BBC iPlayer on the free plan, but I could access YouTube and Kodi.
Most of Windscribe's free servers support P2P sharing so you can share large files quickly and securely. Its automatic firewall stops your internet service provider (ISP) from snooping on your torrenting, too.
The bad news is you only get a monthly data allowance of 10GB. That's great for updating social media and browsing news sites, but only enough for 20 minutes of HD streaming a day.
Security-wise, Windscribe has a few drawbacks. With your free account, you get limited access to R.O.B.E.R.T – Windscribe's malware and phishing blocker. You're limited to malware blocking only. But AES 256-bit encryption keeps your data hidden from view.
A strict no-logs policy protects you from Five Eyes Alliance interference.
You can protect all your devices at once. Windscribe gives you unlimited device connections on one plan, which is rare for a free VPN. Keep in mind though, you can only share your account with your immediate family. Its Terms and Conditions document prohibits sharing with friends, and you could end up banned.
As a free subscriber, you get the same customer support assistance as paid users. Your options are online chatbot assistance, and if you don't get your questions answered there, you can create a support ticket within the chatbot system. Customer support is only available in English, though.

hide.me's Key Features
Five server locations, including Canada
2GB free monthly data allowance
Ad-free service
256-bit AES encryption and IP leak protection
Works with: YouTube, Kodi, Spotify
Compatible with: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Chrome, some routers
hide.me's free service offers you access to servers in five locations across the world. The good news is that Canada is one of them! So wherever you are in the world, you can access your favorite Canadian news and social content.
While you're in Canada, you also have access to servers in the US, Singapore, and the Netherlands. But, before you download hide.me, keep in mind that you can't unblock Netflix US on the free plan.
I tested it with YouTube and Kodi and was able to access them both, and the best news is that streaming was fast with no buffering issues.
hide.me offers P2P support, but only on the free Netherlands server.
Its 2GB monthly data limit is a big problem. Working out at roughly 65MB per day, you'll struggle to stream HD video and music. It's only enough to browse for around an hour a day.
Hide.me is one of the safest free VPNs around. It offers AES 256-bit encryption, IP leak protection, and an automatic kill switch to keep you and your private info safe from hackers and scammers. Its IP leak protection blocks IPv6 requests, so security flaws in your browser can't expose your true IP.
A strict no-logging policy means it doesn't share your online activity or data with prying third parties. Plus, you don't have to put up with annoying ads and popups.
If you have questions about connecting to your devices or any other queries, you have access to 24/7 technical support, even with a free account.
Want to know more? Explore our hide.me review to see the full results of our research and testing.
TunnelBear's Key Features
Servers in 22 countries, which includes Canada
500MB of free data per month
AES 256-bit encryption
GhostBear mode to break through censorship blocks
Works with: HBO GO, YouTube, Kodi

TunnelBear offers one of the largest server choices on my list. As a free user, you have access to servers in 22 locations across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the US. There's also a high-speed server in Canada.
It has trouble unblocking some streaming sites though. In my tests, I was able to access HBO GO but couldn't unblock Netflix US, Hulu, or BBC iPlayer.
TunnelBear also restricts you to just 500MB of data a month. That's the smallest data allowance on my list and hardly gets you through one episode of your favorite TV show. It's only enough for seven hours of browsing per month.
It's not my top choice for torrenting, either. TunnelBear is based in Canada, and since the government started clamping down on torrent downloads, the company keeps its P2P support very quiet. If you need to torrent securely, I'd look elsewhere.
The rest of your web activity is protected by AES 256-bit encryption and a no-logs policy. Plus, TunnelBear's unique VigilantBear mode automatically protects your data, even if you lose your connection to the VPN. It's TunnelBear's version of a kill switch.
The GhostBear feature gets you through VPN blocks and censorship so you can browse the dark web or stay hidden from the government. It can even access content in countries with strict restrictions like China.
Technical support is limited, and there's no 24/7 assistance. You have to create a support ticket if you need help.

Opera VPN's Key Features
Three free server locations in the Americas, Europe, and Asia
Web browser with built-in VPN
Free, unlimited data
Blocks ads
Works with: YouTube, Netflix US
Compatible with: macOS, Linux, Windows
Opera's built-in VPN is a free web browser extension that you can use in Canada to overcome some geoblocks, but it's technically a proxy. It only encrypts your Opera browser traffic.
It gives you unlimited data and bandwidth, which is quite generous. In my tests, I was able to unblock Netflix US, but it was slow and didn't provide the best streaming experience. You can select which region you want to connect to, but you can't select a specific country or server. So, you may need to reconnect a few times before you get the server you need. For unblocking geo-restricted content from Canada, there are better options.
If you're outside of Canada and want to access local websites and news outlets, there's no guarantee that you can use the Canadian server. You have three free server regions to choose from, which includes the Americas, but you're not able to choose the Canadian server.
Opera VPN offers industry-standard encryption to keep your data and activity secure while masking your true IP address. This means that it offers the same level of privacy as full VPNs, but the protection only extends to your web browser. Anything you do outside of the Opera browser isn't encrypted and uses your local IP.
I checked Opera VPN's privacy statement and it says that it doesn't record any information related to your browsing activity.
Opera VPN offers a comprehensive FAQ and customer forum for help if you're having difficulties.
Quick to install and easy to use, Opera VPN is a solid option for bypassing censorship or geo-spoofing your location. But for everyday use from Canada, it may not be your first option.

VPNBook's Key Features
Six servers in five countries, including Canada
Connect up to five devices simultaneously
Works with: Netflix US
Compatible with: Windows, macOS, iOS, Firefox, Chrome, Opera
VPNBook is a totally free service that's on my list because it gives you access to servers in six locations, including Canada. While you're traveling outside the country, you have access to all your social content, news sites, and other local media. From Canada, your server options to access global websites include the UK, the US, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland.
Its ability to unblock Netflix US is a huge plus, especially because it's free.
The Canada server offers P2P support. I tested its torrenting ability and experienced fast download speeds with large files. Plus, with no data limits or website restrictions, VPNBook is a strong choice for everyday use.
Its security protocol is 128-bit encryption, and though this isn't the industry-standard, 256-bit protocol, it's still secure enough for your everyday browsing.
I checked its privacy policy to confirm that it won't store personal information and found that it does store connection logs to monitor users – it doesn't keep track of the sites you visit, though. VPNBook deletes connections log info every week.
Because VPNBook is a completely free VPN, it has to make money somehow, which means it makes its money through ads. Whatever platform you use it on, expect regular banners and popups. But that's better than selling your data for profit.
There's no live chat support available, but you can send an email through the website.

PrivateVPN has a no-fuss 7-day free trial. If you're looking for a short-term, free solution to access global content and streaming sites from Canada, PrivateVPN is a great choice. It's packed with premium features and won't cost you a penny for the first week.
Its server network is small, compared to other premium services, but you still get access to 100+ high-speed server locations. Plus, while you're out of the country, you have three Canadian server options to access geo-restricted content from home.
PrivateVPN offers dedicated streaming servers for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and more. Like most premium services, PrivateVPN gives you unlimited data and no bandwidth limits, so you can stream as much as you like, no matter where you are.
You get P2P support, too. AES 256-bit encryption with 2048-bit DH key and IPv6 leak protection ensure not even your ISP knows you're torrenting.
Your data is secure with PrivateVPN's no-logs policy. Under Swedish law, PrivateVPN doesn't have to hand over your internet activity to anyone – that includes the Five Eyes Alliance.
PrivateVPN's friendly live chat support is on hand if you have connection issues or other questions.
With the 7-day free trial, you'll have to register, but this doesn't require you to enter payment details. PrivateVPN won't charge you at any point during the trial period, so there's no concern about renewing if you decide not to continue the service.

How We Tested and Ranked These VPNs
When compiling this list of free VPNs for Canada, I looked at security. Because many free VPNs sacrifice security for the $0 price tag, I made sure that each of these free services offers trustworthy security features, which includes no-logs policies, a high level of encryption, and IP masking.
I also took into account speed and bandwidth. These free VPNs offer unlimited bandwidth or an adequate amount for internet browsing. Speeds are fast enough for streaming, torrenting, and accessing blocked sites.
I also considered if these VPNs have Canadian servers in order to access local content when you're out of the region. Each of the VPNs on this list has Canadian servers so you can access content from home when you're traveling.
What's the Catch With Free VPNs?
Free VPNs are nowhere near as effective as premium services. Many free VPNs make their money by collecting your personal data and selling it to trackers and advertisers. As well as reduced speeds and harsh data limits, your personal data can be exposed to dangerous third parties. But this isn't the case with the VPNs on my list.
Canada's Five Eyes Alliance means governments all over the world can track and share your data. With free VPNs, security breaches and data leaks are all too common. If you don't want your data to end up in the wrong hands, use a premium VPN with military-grade security features.
Most free VPNs don't have Canadian servers, so you can't access local content while you're abroad. And if you want to access your favorite Canadian sites and shows from outside the region, you need a high-performance VPN. With measly data and bandwidth limits, free VPNs leave you frustrated in the long run. Premium VPNs offer unlimited data as a standard, so you can stream as much as you like, no matter where you are.
The Top-Ranked Premium VPNs We Recommend for Canada
Free VPNs are nice, as they don't cost you anything money-wise, but remember, you end up paying in the end. Be that restrictions on data or bandwidth, security limitations, or sacrificing your browsing logs and activity to trackers so they can serve your ads.
If you prefer to go with a premium service and pay a little each month to avoid these limitations, here's a list of quality VPN services that you can use in Canada.
Do these free VPNs keep log files?
None of the free VPNs on my list keep logs. Each has an explicit zero-logging policy, which means they don't record your IP address, timestamps, or browsing history. The one exception is VPNBook. It doesn't keep track of the sites you visit, but it does store connection log info, though it deletes this data every week.
Will these free VPNs work on all my devices?
Most free VPNs only offer protection on one device at a time, such as your PC, Mac, or router. The free VPNs I recommend have apps for most major devices, such as iOS and Android. I have included a compatibility guide for each VPN on my list.
Are VPNs legal in Canada?
Yes. VPN usage in Canada is perfectly legal, as it is in all of North America and most of the world. There are some countries in which VPNs are illegal or usage is monitored and limited. To find out more, take a look at our VPN legality guide.
Free VPNs are never really free. They limit you with slow performance, data limits, and substandard security. Most free VPNs don't have servers in Canada, which means you can't access local content when you're out of the region. And when you connect to an international server from Canada, most free VPNs will slow down your speed.
The good news is that you can use free trials and money-back guarantees to test premium services, like NordVPN. You get access to all of its premium features including unlimited data, military-grade encryption, and dedicated streaming servers.
