2 oz Mezcal
5 oz Ginger Beer
Add ice to the serving glass. Combine all the ingredients except the Ginger Beer in the serving glass.
Mix the ingredients to chill.
Add the Ginger Beer.
Give the drink a couple turns to chill and mix.
Tools Used: Jigger, Bar Spoon
Serving Glass: Copper Mug
The tequila variation of the Moscow Mule substituting tequila/mezcal for vodka. While the original has a more clean and refreshing ginger beer and lime taste, the tequila adds an excellent cactus taste to this one. If you use a smoky mezcal, you get an even stronger cactus to taste with some smoke flavor. Put a little Tajin or chilies spices on top, and you're good to go.

The History Of The Cuba Libre.
The Cuban Libre's common origin story was invented in late 1800 during the Spanish-American War of 1898. John Pemberton sold his rights to Coca-Cola in 1896, and within a few years, Coke was one of the most popular Sodas in the United States. Who knows, but two years is very little time for a soft drink to travel internationally. What we know is the first published work to mention the Cuba Libre cocktail that I could find comes from the 1928 book "When It's Cocktail Time in Cuba" by Basil Woon. He doesn't provide a recipe, but he mentions it by name. The first cocktail book to publish a Cuba Libre recipe is the 1935 Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book.
What is interesting is the Cuba libre is not mentioned in a single Cuban cocktail book or cookbook till 1939. A 1931 Cookbook called "Cuban Cookery" by Blanche de Baralt does not mention it. She provides a very insightful history of drinking culture in Cuba with many drink recipes and the most likely true origin of the Daiquiri. Both the early Bar La Florida and Sloppy Joe's Books do not mention the Cuba Libre. Not till the 1939 Sloppy Joe's book that any Cuban publication even says it. Bar La Florida never published a Cuba Libre recipe. So the timeline of it is a little weird. It existed in the late 1920s and was known by many American bartenders by the mid-1930s; it was not written down in its country of origin until the late 1930s. Not quite sure what to make of that, and I don't want to infer too much blindly. Who knows, It could mean nothing.

What Is The Difference Between The John Collins And Tom Collins?
While probably not invented by Harry Johnson, his 1882 Bartenders Manual is the oldest printed book I could find to mention the Collins cocktail. Many sources say it was created in 1814 at Limmer's Old House in London, but who knows. There is no documentation of this, and all the sources that state this seem to reference each other circularly. The oldest concrete evidence of this cocktail is the Harry Johnson one. It seems both the John Collins and Tom Collins are invented around the same time, and the Bartenders Manual gives a pretty definitive recipe for both the John and Tom Collins. His John Collins recipe calls for genever (dry gin doesn't start to get mixed into cocktails till the end of the 1800s/early 1900s), and his recipe for the Tom Collins calls for Old Tom gin. Harry Johnson's collins recipes and names are clearly defined, but unlike Harry Johnson, Jerry Thomas's 1887 Bartenders Guide does not follow his recipes. The Bartender's Guide doesn't even mention the John Collins but instead uses the name Tom Collins for every variation of the collins. It has three different recipes for the Tom Collins. A Tom Collins whiskey, a Tom Collins brandy, and a Tom Collins genever. It doesn't mention the Tom Collins with Old Tom gin and calls the one made with genever a Tom Collins.
To further complicate this, in 1885, a British cocktail book called "The New guide for the hotel, bar, restaurant, butler, and chef" by Bacchus and Cordon Bleu has a recipe for what they call a Fred Collins. Their Fred Collins Recipe is a Whiskey Collins with orange liqueur instead of simple syrup. Their Collins section states, "I should be glad if our caterers would agree what it is to be perpetually named. One Barkeeper calls it a John Collins – another Tom Collins. Harry and Fred are all members of the same family." They then say they prefer the Fred Collins name, thus credence to Jerry Thomas's version of the Collins in that the name is more a style than a specific drink. Hell, there was a Harry Collins we have never seen. The Savoy Cocktail Book does the same thing and has both a Dry Gin and Whiskey Tom Collins. Although The Savoy does say that a Tom Collins made with genever is instead called a John Collins.
While The Harry Johnson uses the names as specific cocktails, the Bartenders guide and others seemed to use the collins as a cocktail structure more than a specific recipe. Similar to the Rickey, Daisy, or Fizz, the collins is used to describe a structure of 2 parts base spirit, 1 part citrus, 1 part sweetener, and 4 or 5 parts carbonated beverage. Harry Johnson influence has been permanent and the collins is ultimately both. It is both a specific cocktail like Harry Johnson pushed and a cocktail archetype like others believed. looking at its influence as an archetype there are many popular cocktails which are structurally a collins that you would not think of as a Collins. The Adios Motherfucker, Mojito, French 75, Paloma, etc, are all just fun variation on the Collins form.
The Brief But Memorable History Of The Tom Collins.
The Tom Collins is enjoying a bit of a renaissance since Old Tom Gin is starting to become more regularly found in liquor stores again. Even though it was only around for a few decades and some major cocktail books back in the day left it out. Harry Craddock, Jerry Thomas (posthumously), George Kappeler, and a few others write about it, but major works like the Old Waldorf Astoria and Savoy make no mention of any Tom or John Collins. The oldest literary reference I could find to it was the 1882 Bartenders Manual which is the earliest reference to either the Tom or John Collins. I've read many articles saying the John Collins came first and the Tom was a variation, but I can't find one without the other. Wikipedia says the oldest reference to a collins cocktail is in the 1869 Steward and Barkeeper's Manual by Jesse Haney & company. Still, I looked over that whole book and never found the recipe they reference. Granted, I don't have all the vintage cocktail books ever written, but I probably have a couple hundred more than any reasonable person, and the furthest back I can find the collins is by Harry Johnson.
Sadly this Old Tom cocktail was only on people's radars for maybe 30 years. Haymans stopped manufacturing Old Tom in the 1930s, I think, and by the 1910s, most works refer to any collins cocktail as a Tom Collins and say you can use any base spirit with the drink. This harkens back to the Jerry Thomas book that called a collins made with whiskey a Tom Collins whiskey, or one made with brandy, a Tom Collins Brandy. This shows that the Tom/John Collins lived on as a cocktail structure more than a specific recipe. The name Tom Collins was being used even though no one was saying it needed to be mixed with Old Tom Gin.
Since Haymans started manufacturing Old Tom again in 2007, the classic spirit is becoming very popular now. The Tom Collins has become all the rage (It is a delicious drink, so it's understandable), but back in the day, outside of Harry Johnson and a couple of others, It was kind of just a name to refer to a type of cocktail. In the late 1800s, a guy would maybe walk into a bar and ask for a Tom Collins, and the bartender would ask what spirit he wanted, and the guy could say whiskey, and the bartender would know what he meant. Obviously, I was not of drinking age or even alive during the late 19th century to verify this last statement. It is simply my interpolation based on how publications and literature used the name and the recipes they provided at different points in time.

Dark 'N Stormy
Course: DrinksCuisine: Caribbean
Learn how to make a classic Dark N' Stormy.
1.5 oz Gosling Black Seal Rum (Black Rum)
History Of The Dark 'N Stormy
The history of the Dark 'N Stormy begins on June 9, 1980, when the United States patent office awarded Gosling Brothers Limited, trademark SN 73-705,138, to the name Dark 'N Stormy. This trademark secured the name Dark 'N Stormy to Gosling in the case of any pre-mixed alcoholic cocktails using gum and ginger beer. This was not the first time ginger beer and rum were mixed together into a drink. Anthropological studies of islands in the Caribbean found this was a common drink, and recipes can't be trademarked or patented. (Technically, a recipe could be patented, but it's so incredibly rare it almost never happens. The USPTO won't even grant Coca-Cola a patent to the Coke recipe.) What Gosling did was trademark just the name Dark 'N Stormy and, thus, how it is used.
Soon after, Bermuda changed its official drink from the Rum Swizzle to the trademarked Dark 'N Stormy. Probably because Gosling is the island's largest exporter and a large chunk of the island's economy, but it could be for other reasons. The cocktail proved wildly popular in the island's boating community, and by word of mouth and marketing, the name stuck. If you walk into a bar today and order a Cuba Libre, the bartender may know what you are talking about and correct you with, "Oh, a rum and coke." On the other hand, if you walk into a bar today and order a rum and ginger beer, the bartender will correct you with "Oh, a Dark 'N Stormy."
Again, I believe the trademark for Dark 'N Stormy only applies to alcohol and mixers a company sells. For example, Bacardi can't advertise their rum for making a Dark 'N Stormy, but I don't want to take the chance and get in anyone's crosshairs. So a Dark 'N Stormy should only be made with Gosling Black Seal Rum, but a rum and ginger beer can be made with any dark rum.

Invented in 1941 at the Cock'n Bull pub in Los Angeles, this drink single-handedly saved vodka sales. The story goes that three down and out-of-luck individuals, Sophie Berezinski, John Martin, and Jack Morgan, came together and created this drink.
Sophie Berezinski owned a bunch of copper mugs no one wanted, John Martin was a distributor for Schmirnoff, a flavorless spirit no one wished to, and Jack Morgan was the Cock'n Bull bar owner with a ginger beer no one wanted. They combined their unwanted products, and the rest is history.

Cape Codder – Classic Vodka Cranberry Recipe
April 28, 2021 January 18, 2023 Tomas CurrasLeave a comment
Learn how to make a classic Cape Cod cocktail.
5 oz Cranberry Juice
Add ice to serving glass.
Pour Ingredients over the ice and into serving Glass.
Give the drink a few turns to chill and mix.
The History Of The Cape Codder (Vodka Cranberry)
The earliest record of the Cape Cod (Cape Codder) comes from 1945 in volume 6 of the Cranberry Canners Inc. Newsletter. The article describes a New York restaurant whose owner is also a cranberry grower and the unique ways he incorporates cranberries into his menu.
"In the continental atmosphere of Pierre's on 52 East 53rd Street, New York, the ultra-American cranberry juice is always on the menu… The restaurateur, Pierre Ferro, is also a cranberry grower and a member of the NCA… With cranberry juice, he adds vodka, a dash of fresh lime and he comes up with a Red Devil cocktail"
The Red Devil name doesn't stick, and the cocktail only seems to catch on in the late 1950s. I can't find any cocktail books from the 1940s through 1960s, even ones from New York, that mention it. Any mention of it in the 1950s comes from magazine articles, and it often has different names. A Samovar Vodka ad in Life Magazine calls it a Jubilee Punch. A musical from 1958 called "Say, Darling" calls it vodka and cranberry, and an article in Time Magainze from 1961 mentions how Trader Vic's calls it a Rangoon Ruby. The June 1961 issue of the Philadelphia Inquirer called it a Jersey Wedding. The list goes on and on. The name Cape Codder, shortened to Cape Cod, started to appear in the 1960s when Ocean Spray began promoting the drink and pushing the juice market hard.
Before Thanksgiving 1959, the Department of Health announced that a few samples of Ocean Spray Cranberries from growers in Washington and Oregon had residual cancer-causing weed killer aminotriazole still on them. All Ocean Spray Cranberries products were pulled from the shelves, and the loss of an entire year's harvest almost destroyed the company. Realizing the need to expand beyond the holidays Ocean Spray looked for any way to sell its product in new markets. They began heavily promoting Cranberry juice as a healthy alternative to soda for children and adults, dried candies cranberries as a snack, and cranberry juice as an alcoholic mixer for adults. The company took the already-known vodka and cranberry cocktail and began advertising it as a Cape Codder, further tying the name to the Ocean Spray brand. The advertising worked, and by the end of the 1960s, the cocktail was generally called a Cape Codder. Even Trader Vic had renamed his Rangoon Ruby the Cape Codder for the 1972 edition of his Bartenders Guide. The multiple names for this drink persist today, as most refer to this cocktail as simply a Vodka Cran
The Rise Of Vodka Cocktails in the 1940s.
Vodka cocktails were almost nonexistent and not popular till the 1940s. Except for the Bloody Mary, I can't think of a single cocktail that contained vodka before the 1940s. What happened in the 1940s to change that? The Moscow Mule was invented in 1941, and its overnight success suddenly made vodka a popular spirit. Most classic vodka cocktails can be traced back to this period. Since Vodka had no history of being used as an ingredient, bartenders found it easy to replace gin with vodka and give the drink a fun new name. The screwdriver was just an orange blossom with vodka. The vodka Martini was just a martini with vodka, and a drink called the Russian Bear (most likely the origin of the White Russian) was just an Alexander with vodka instead of gin, and the list goes on.

Learn how to make a classic 1860s Americano.
1.5 oz Campari
1.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
Combine all ingredients except for the soda water in your serving glass with ice.
Stir and combine those ingredients and chill the glass.
Gently add the soda water to maintain its carbonation.
Garnish with an orange slice.
The History Of The Americano.
The Americano cocktail was invented around the mid-1860s in Milan, Italy, by Gaspare Campari. Gaspare ran around Italy trying to sell his bitter aperitif until he met his wife and settled down in Milan. Settling down in Milan, he opened up Gaspare's Bar, where he sold his aperitif, which he also named after himself, and began mixing up the house cocktail called the Milano-Torino. Milano because that is where he produced Campari and Torino because that is the town that produced Italian sweet vermouth. As time went on, the drink became a huge hit and the drink of choice for many traveling Americans. By the early 1900s, the Milano-Torino became better known as an Americano. It is considered the predecessor to the Negroni since the Negroni was invented as a strong Americano. The difference between the Americano and its more famous younger brother, the Negroni, is the Negroni Swaps the 120ml (4 oz) of soda water for 30 mls (1 oz) of gin. This changes the cocktail from a refreshing and light highball to a boozy and more bitter lowball cocktail.
What Are Some Variations Of The Americano?
Variations of the Americano include The Negroni, The Boulevardier, The Man About Town, and the Patricia. These cocktails have a similar flavor profile to the americano but are very different in style. They are all short, strong drinks, while the Americano is tall, light, and refreshing. There is nothing quite like the americano, but these four are the most similar.
What Does the Americano Taste Like?
The Americano taste is refreshing since the soda water helps cut the bitter and herbal Aperitifs. The flavor is still very medicinal and not for everyone. If you like medicinal or herbal tastes, you may like this, but if you are someone who sticks to rum and cokes, adioses, or mules, then this may not be for you. If you are curious about trying Campari, this would be the drink to start with.
The Most Important Ingredient.
The essential ingredient in this is the sweet vermouth. There is only one Campari, and soda water is all the same, but the sweet vermouth you use will make a big difference. There are no terrible sweet vermouths, and the cheaper stuff works fine, but there are a few amazing ones. I usually buy smaller 375ml bottles of sweet vermouth because it is wine-based, and like all wines, it doesn't go well after a while. It has a slightly longer shelf life than regular red wine but not much more. When I buy the larger 750ml bottles, I find half of it spoiled before I finish using them. So instead of spending $7 for a large normal bottle of sweet vermouth that you will end up wasting half off, pay $13 for a fantastic bottle of sweet vermouth that's half the size, but you will finish. Once you start using excellent sweet vermouth, you will never want to use anything else. It makes a very noticeable difference for not that much more money.

Mojito Criollo No.2 – Classic 1935 Gin Mojito
Posted in Highballs, RecipesTagged Canadian Whisky
Learn how to make a classic Mojito Criollo Cocktail.
2 oz White Rum
Combine mint leaves and simple syrup in the serving glass and muddle together.
Add spirit and ice to the serving glass and stir for 20 – 30 seconds.
Pour soda water into glass and give the drink a couple last turns to mix.
Some say the mojito goes back to the mid-1500s, but I doubt that, especially as rum was just being invented about then. No one knows who invented this drink or when. All that is known is that it was created in Cuba. It is structurally a rum collins with mint, and the collins style of cocktails started to become common in the United States around the 1880s. Also, many American-style cocktails quickly made their way to the Caribbean because of trade and tourism, so it's reasonable to assume this could have been invented as early as the 1880s. The recipe I have here is the Mojito from the 1935 Bar la Florida book. Bar la Florida was one of the most popular and influential bars in Cuba pre-Castro. It is credited with creating countless, now considered canon, Caribbean cocktails and having one of the most significant impacts on Caribbean-style cocktails. Bar La Florida referred to their Mojito as the Mojito Criollo. Like the Daiquiri from that book, this mojito uses lemons instead of lime but, also like the Daiquiri, every other recipe for the mojito I know of uses lime. I was born in the US, but my family is Cuban and every Cuban I know uses limes. Maybe this bar just had a thing with lemons. Who knows. So for the sake of consensus, I'm going to go with lime juice. Also, there is a Mojito Criollo #2 recipe in the book that uses lemon. So this adds a little variety.
My dad grows mint and limes in his backyard to make sure he is always ready to make a mojito at a moment's notice. This is the go-to party cocktail for most Cubans I know.

Japanese Highball – Classic Recipe
April 14, 2021 January 18, 2023 Tomas Curras1 Comment
Japanese Highball
Learn how to make a classic Japanese Highball.
2 oz Scotch
Fill your serving glass with ice and combine all ingredients except for the soda water in the glass.
Stir and combine the ingredients and at the same time chilling the glass.
Top off with more ice if you need to.
Lastly gently add the soda water to maintain its carbonation and give a couple gentle stirs to mix.
How The Japanese Highball Is A Structurally Correct Highball.
While many long drinks in tall glasses tend to be called highballs and are often thought of that way, a structurally correct highball is simply 1 part spirit, 2-2.5 parts carbonated beverage, and optional bitters or citrus peel. They do not contain juice or additional sweetener. I love this cocktail, and it's usually what I often make for myself when I'm home. It goes down easy and gives me the pleasure of drinking a beer without the bloat. While the Japanese did not create the highball, they have maintained the classic highball better than American or British cultures. The highball has continued to stay a popular beverage there.
Keep This In Mind When Drinking A Japanese Highball.
Again even though it's called a Japanese highball, it was not invented by the Japanese. It's called that because it's still a trendy cocktail with Japanese business people after work. Similar to how the Japanese jigger was originally American, it eventually fell out of fashion in the USA and remained popular in Japan. Sadly most Americans find this cocktail dull at first taste and need to be told its history or how it's popular in Japan to say, "oh, ok. I see". American and British cocktail culture is one more strong drink with juice-filled big flavors, and those are good, but this cocktail is all about subtlety done perfectly. This cocktail is all about the perfect technique.
The Most Important Part To Making A Japanese Highball.
Most cocktails live in a gradient from good to bad and fall somewhere between. How well-made or poorly made a cocktail will end up is based on ingredients and preparation. The most crucial part of creating a Japanese highball and the mizuwari is your technique. How well you prepare each ingredient before moving on to the next step will make or break this cocktail. No joke, this can only be 1 of 2 things, perfect or awful. Learning how to prepare this cocktail taught me more about mixing drinks than any other cocktail.
1). Start with a chilled glass. Stemware matters too. Use a highball, collins, or zombie glass (they are all pretty similar anyway). The drink needs a heavy broad base to hold extra coldness, and the straight sides make stirring easier. Pint glasses are delicate, but they taper to a smaller base which means less cold surface area to whiskey ratio. Next, add your ice, and since the glass is already chilled, there is no need to use the ice to chill it. If the glass is not chilled, stir the ice to cool the glass and dump the water that has melted off. Also, the ice is vital. This is the ice served with the drink, so it should be challenging, clear, and freezing ice. This is done to dilute the whiskey as little as possible before adding the soda water. It should be refreshing bubbly soda water lengthening the whiskey, and not warmed melted ice.
2). Next, add your whiskey and stir for maybe 10 seconds. This is to cool the whiskey down to near freezing so that once you add the soda water, the warmth of the whiskey does not force carbonation to leave the drink. You don't want to over stir and add risk adding too much water to the whiskey, thus diluting it too much and making for a flat cocktail. Ice is typically around 0°F (-18°C), and whiskey freezes at -17°F (-27°C). So if you keep stirring, it will keep getting colder and colder until it becomes the same temperature as the ice, 0°F, but it doesn't need to get that cold. The drink is getting far colder than it needs to be and gaining extra flat melted ice. It just needs to match the temperature of the soda water. Soda water will be refrigerated, making it around 34°F (1°C). Then again, you don't know when you have hit 34°F, so just stir for 10 seconds. That will get you in the right ballpark.
3). Next, add the soda water. The ratio is 1 part whiskey to 2 – 2.5 parts soda. You'll want to vary this based on how strongly flavored the whiskey is. You aim to balance and open up the flavors, so a more intensely flavored whiskey may want 5oz soda water to 2oz whiskey, and a more subtle whiskey would work better with 4oz soda water to 2oz whiskey. Know the whiskey and add what you think will make it taste better. Also, how you pour is essential too. Don't be violent and pour it in. Pour gently and down the side of the glass to maintain as much carbonation as possible. The warmer and more aggressive the pour, the more bubbles will leave.
4). Finally, give it just two last stirs. Although don't just turn the spoon in a circle; bring it to the bottom and pull the whiskey up into the soda water. Do this just two times to evenly mix the drink while losing as little carbonation as possible. A lot of work for a simple two-ingredient drink, right?

Thousands rally against court reforms in Poland
Protesters gather during a candlelight rally to protest against judicial reforms in front of the Supreme Court in Warsaw, Poland on July 16, 2017.PHOTO: REUTERS
http://str.sg/4R9L
WARSAW (AFP) - Chanting democracy slogans, several thousand people rallied in Warsaw on Sunday (July 16) in demonstrations against controversial new court reforms they see as a threat to judicial independence.
Protesters waved EU and Polish flags and shouted "we will defend democracy" at an afternoon demonstration in front of the parliament, which this week passed legislation that critics say gives the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party power over the courts.
Participants called PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski a "dictator" and held up signs with slogans such as "duck off" in reference to the similarity of his last name to the Polish word for duck.
Police estimated the crowd at 4,500 people, while the city authorities said there were more than 10,000 protesters at the demonstration, organised by the KOD pro-democracy movement, which is critical of the governing conservatives' policies on courts as well as other areas such as media and education.
Later on Sunday, the Iustitia association of Polish judges held its own protest in front of the Supreme Court, where 17,000 people according to the city held up candles and called out in favour of "free courts".
"This whole set of (judicial) bills is a scandal," said Agnieszka Janczarska, a 39-year-old lawyer in Warsaw who attended both demonstrations.
"It's a destruction of the fundamental principles of a democratic state, namely the separation of powers," she told AFP.
The two main opposition leaders, Grzegorz Schetyna from the Civic Platform (PO) and Ryszard Petru from the Modern party, said at the afternoon rally that they would join forces to fight against the reforms.
Poles also rallied in other cities across Poland including Krakow, Szczecin and Wroclaw.
Earlier this week the parliament adopted a bill that gives the minister of justice the power to name the chief justices of the EU member's common courts.
Lawmakers also passed a second bill that states that from now on the parliament - which is controlled by the conservative PiS party - will choose the members of the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), whose role is to protect the independence of courts.
"We're implementing good changes for Poles, for those who are waiting for a well-functioning system of justice," senate speaker Stanislaw Karczewski, a PiS member, told reporters.
The PiS also tabled a separate bill in parliament on Thursday that would subjugate the Supreme Court - which supervises lower courts - to executive power, in a move the opposition slammed as "the announcement of a coup".
Under the proposed Bill, the current Supreme Court justices will be forced to retire, with the exception of those named by the justice minister, who would also be responsible for selecting candidates to succeed the retired judges.
The PiS-led government has already run foul of the European Commission and critics at home for implementing reforms of the Constitutional Court, whose main role is to check that laws comply with the constitution.

            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(item); // This is the new item text
            // Now I need the row index of this ComboBox in 'm_GridView' (or 'm_ComboBoxColumn')
        }
    }
}

How can I find the row index of the ComboBox in the DataGridViewComboBoxColumn in this last method?

A: You should cast it to DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl and access the EditingControlRowIndex to get the row index like this:
var comboBox = (DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl)sender;
int rowIndex = comboBox.EditingControlRowIndex;

A: You can get it via the ComboBox's SelectedIndex property - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.combobox.selectedindex.aspx
var index = comboBox.SelectedIndex;

Unusual Extras include'split tunneling' (you choose which traffic goes via the VPN, and uses your ISP) and the ability to create an instantaneous Wi-Fi VPN hotspot in your notebook, and connect more devices through that.
The Company offers dedicated apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux, extensions for both Chrome and Firefox, and more downloads and tutorials to assist you set this up on routers, Kodi, Android TV, Amazon's Fire TV Stick and much more.
This Drops into a monthly $1.32 (#1) should you cover 5 decades upfront, a total of 79 (#61). We would recommend signing up for that long, but the cost is so low, you may think that it's rewarding. Private online Access delivers a good two-year program for $2.91 (#2.24) per month, for example, but that is still $70 (#54) in total, not much less. If you simply use PureVPN for a couple of decades, you're getting value.
The By utilizing some advertising trickery, company spoils this impression a little. Each program has a'last sold' index which tells you if someone last signed up, and it.
This is Meant to explain to you how popular the service is, but we're not certain that the figures are real. We refreshed the page a few times, and seen in different browsers, and the'past sold' figures varied widely. They behave as though they're chosen randomly, rather than corresponding to any actual world events.
PureVPN doesn't advertise a trial. We dug deep and found a page for something called a'trial accounts', but that is a little misleading. It is really just a commercial plan where you pay a non refundable $2.50 (#2) for 3 days of service.
After Parting with your cash, download links point you to apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, the browser extensions and more. We caught the Windows customer, and there came a welcome email with login information, as it had been downloading.
Setup Was easy, and following a quick launch, the Windows client prompted us to pick one of five modes: Stream, Internet Freedom, Security/Privacy, File Sharing and Dedicated IP. We guess most folks will wonder if to choose Internet Freedom or even Security/Privacy, and there is no immediate guidance.
The Support site told us that selecting a mode could optimize PureVPN's settings for this undertaking. As an instance, picking Security/Privacy would prioritize security but File Sharing manners and the Streaming would optimize for speed.
VPN This strategy might be appreciated by Beginners since it means that they don't need to understand and tweak the settings. But experts are not as likely to approve, since there's no indication of what each mode does. There's nothing wrong with task-based mode selection, but we'd like a clear display of those low-level settings for each style, so experienced users can comprehend the consequences of their choice.
After You're in a position to select at locations. This has plenty of performance, enabling you to browse locations by countries or cities, search by title, view ping times, or make favorites for speedy recall later.
Alternatively, Deciding upon a Purpose option displays a listing of tasks you might want to execute — unblocking Netflix or other streaming sites, utilizing VoIP, obtaining social networking websites or whatever — and also you can in theory select among these, and permit PureVPN to select a host for you.
Connect To a server and the client displays your connection status. There's also an optional bandwidth graph showing your information transfers for the past couple of seconds. You almost certainly won't want it, but it is good to see PureVPN making the effort.
The Customer makes smart of use of alarms to be certain you know what is happening. Choose a place it won't waste your time with notifications. But if you change to the client notices another application, and a pop-up window seems to let you know when it connects and disconnects.
The Settings Box is a highlight, particularly for users, as it is absolutely stuffed with intriguing and unusual extras.
Need a Different protocol? PureVPN allows you to choose from OpenVPN TCP/UDP, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IKEV. There's also an Automatic alternative that the client suggests offers the very best security and speed, but from what we can see, that's not true: it only cycles through another protocols till it finds one that works.
Split Tunneling allows you to send the traffic of programs that are specified by your VPN. That takes more time to set up, and you need to be very certain which apps you want to divert, but it can also optimize performance by limiting your data transfer needs.
The VPN Hotspot is an extra, configuring a hotspot which turns the host computer into a limited VPN router. Once it's enabled, you'll be able to use your telephone, tablet computer or other devices to go online through the host's PureVPN connection.
Along with the List continues, using IPv6 leak security, an unusually configurable kill button, and a multi-port alternative which intelligently chooses the best port, preventing any closed or throttled alternatives. You may elect to utilize a non-NAT network to get a unique IP address, port forwarding is available should you require this, and a Support department doesn't simply link to the website: it eases creating a service ticket from inside the client.
Even though There's plenty of power , the port is a awkward and inconsistent mess. There are normal buttons, radio buttons, links, icons and sidebars, they don't always work as you would expect, and although we figured out how to navigate around the machine, it never felt natural or comfortable.
Still, The client did a good job for us, blocking DNS and WebRTC escapes, and together with the kill switch successfully murdering our internet access when the VPN link fell. If you will use a number of their client extra features, it may appeal.
We took a Look at PureVPN's Android program, and it was the same story since the Windows version. After choosing a'Mode' (still not sure why)we managed to pick countries, cities, or pick a Goal (optimized for China, unblock this or that streaming assistance, and so on). It is more awkward to use than the VPN program, but you'll find it out easily enough.
In a Review , we pointed out that PureVPN created a huge deal of its'zero log' policy. But the small print said there was some session logging, which appeared to include time you connect to a host, your incoming IP address as well as the entire bandwidth used.
This Is not a minor detail. In October 2017 reports appeared of a man being detained on suspicion of running"an extensive cyberstalking effort", in part according to PureVPN records demonstrating its services were accessed from appearing IPs such as the accused man's house and workplace. The'zero log' VPN kept some kind of logs, after all, and these were able to help link internet activities to a particular account.
This Does not tackle the dilemma of the firm described itself as keeping'zero logs' in the primary portion of the site, however, when this turned out not to be entirely true. That's also not a trivial point. Logging policies are predicated almost entirely on trust, along with a VPN is not inclined to be trusted if it's seen to mislead users or bury the reality of a scenario in the small print.
The Policy also clarifies the minimum link data it will record –'We know the day that you connected to some particular VPN place and from that Internet Service Provider' — and covers lots of other vital issues in a clear and readable manner.
We Double-clicked that the BBC choice, and watched as the client connected and exhibited a'err-network-changed' message. What? This looked like a serious difficulty, however, the browser had just detected the change in our community settings as the client connected, and after this was complete, the BBC iPlayer website opened and streamed content as usual.
It was Much the same story with Netflix. The client started our browser before the connection was complete, thus we saw the exact same error message, but this disappeared automatically, and we had been free to browse and flow whatever Netflix content we liked.
You are Not restricted to the services built into PureVPN's programs , naturally. Linking to a US server got us , although youTube wasn't included on the list, for instance.
Our Performance tests involve running custom applications which connects assessing more , ping time, location and speeds. Regrettably, we could not get this working with PureVPN, or figure out why (whether that is our fault or theirs, we can not be sure).
We dropped Back on our older manual method of linking via customers and checking the results from various speed checking websites, such as SpeedTest.net, Fast.com and TestMy.net. This doesn't provide us to use, but there's still enough to get a feel for what the service can deliver.
Our neighborhood UK servers varied a little more than usual, but nevertheless gave us very acceptable download rates of connection that was 75Mbps.
Close European rates were mildly under average. Here they have been typically 35-45Mbps, although netherlands relations can deliver the same rates for us as UK servers.
US Performance ranged from approximately 30Mbps to 50Mbps, in the shore on the east. That is far from the fastest we have seen, but unless you're planning 24 hours of torrenting, it's most likely not likely to cause you some issues.
As usual, Speeds tailed off for the less common or more distant places. By way of example, New Zealand averaged 12Mbps, Vietnam was 10Mbps, 1Mbps was barely reached by Taiwan, and China ranged from 3Mbps down to a pace the net stalled mid-test. That puts the magnitude of PureVPN's network into perspective (having heaps of servers doesn't matter if many are unusably slow), but if you're only planning to utilize the significant locations, it will not matter very much.
On a few Events, our PureVPN Windows customer wasn't able to connect to our test server that is preferred. The issue here is that the connection didn't time out for several moments, and the Cancel button didn't work, although that is not uncommon.
Let's start off by making something clear, i.e. whatever VPN service you use, the internet speed is going to take a hit. That hit is a result of the additional security measures used to encrypt and protect your identity. The majority of VPN services make every possible effort. Unlike what many people will have you think like using dial-up, that it's not likely to be.
How we compared and tested the operation was by utilizing Ookala's nifty speed testing site and program. We then ran the speed test on both the domestic and global servers. Then we compared the outcomes, calculated their portion gap, and that is how we discovered PureVPN to be quicker.
PureVPN has a domestic latency of a mere 6.7percent percent. During our tests that were downloading, as a matter of fact, PureVPN improved speeds that by our calculations is an percent. We found that competing VPN providers were substantially slower. Some individuals suspect throttled download rates because they didn't wish to stress their servers.
Once it comes to uploads, PureVPN did not really boost it like it did with downloads, but it required a mere 4.5% percent hit. If anything this remains one of the best upload scores we've seen from a VPN provider.
During our international speed tests, the latency increased by 200 percent. Though download speeds have been still a whopping 403.8% better than some of the competing products I tested it against. The uploads have been 22.7% percent slower which is second best compared to possibly Hotspot Shield which improved the upload speed by 1.4percent percent.
The map on the left lets you bypass the program's default recommendation and choose a server for yourself. Keep in mind that by default PureVPN selects the server which is the one. When in China I noticed that it kept picking up servers in Hong Kong by default which is not simply nearby but also the simple fact that the cyberspace of Hong Kong is much less rigorously censored as mainland China.
PureVPN has over 2000 servers which are dispersed across 140 countries and 180 areas around the globe. Servers are located in North America, Central America, South America, Asia, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Now you may believe that PureVPN only has servers in nations which block or perhaps don't censor websites, but you would be wrong. Servers in Russia, Turkey, and China are there just in case you wanted them.
Over the years VPN providers, in general, have received bad press for notoriously slowing down net rates that consumers have not been pleased with clearly. Interestingly, there are many VPN services that slow down what may be net. Luckily, with PureVPN that's not the case even in the event that you use it to stream Netflix, YouTube, etc..
I've used dozens of VPN apps over the years, also PureVPN is like a breath of fresh air. It is quite simple to use and in relation to the previous time that I used the program its geared towards individuals who are new to using VPNs. The moment PureVPN loads you're motivated to choose from five choices, i.e. Safety, Internet Freedom, Stream, Remote/Dedi IP (this attribute offers you a dedicated IP) and Document Sharing. An experience that's based on the option chosen is then delivered by the app.
Another thing I like about PureVPN is that every one of the attributes are to the point. For example, their Internet Freedom feature lets you choose what area you want to get Netflix out of, like from the UK, Australia, etc.. Where it's otherwise blocked, you can access Netflix from China.
In comparison with the last time I used PureVPN now around it felt zippier. The interface has been glowing, with vibrant pictures some of that may be difficult to read on a smaller screen. Once you are connected to a server that is personal, you'll observe the present IP address, link status, and the duration of your session.
The visitors chart gives you a good sense of just how much bandwidth is being consumed, which is useful for anyone on a metered online connection. Nonetheless, it's very important to mention worrying about information caps that PureVPN does not have any. So, you're only limited to what the ISP has in store for you!
Like most other competing VPN providers, you pick the server along with the nation it is based in. You may search for servers and click them to link. Some servers based on which you're located are going to be faster than others because of lower latency.
We've admittedly used PureVPN earlier, but after a hiatus or perhaps two years we pretty much forgot how things worked. Once you've chose to register and download their applications, you are going to have to enter your email and choose a password. Perhaps confusingly and interestingly, this is not what you'll use into the program to log-in, but instead it's used for charging purposes.
After contributors have paid, they receive an email with the username and password in plain text. We've utilized other VPNs using the exact same method to payment identities that were distinguish from user identities that ensures better anonymity. Yet we think it may be confusing to first-time customers however. Additionally, in our experience the email tends to land for some reason on your junk folder, so make certain that you check that before calling support.
PureVPN includes a large support Site of tutorials and troubleshooting manuals. The opening page points you to categories like Getting Started, Setup Guide, Troubleshoot, For Users in China and How to see nearly all of these segments, and Netflix US, for example include more content than you'd expect.
The Installation Guide includes subsections for Routers Windows, Mac, Linux, Android Smart TV and Devices, as an example, and a number of those segments have more content than the support site of lesser VPNs.
We are, although it's an impressive amount of work Unsure how reliable and effective it may be. We assessed the OpenVPN setup guide, for example, and found it failed. OpenVPN was not installed correctly, there were no PureVPN configuration files, and there was no information in the manual to help us figure out this.
If the Site can't help, you increase a support ticket from inside the client or can send an email. We chose the ticket route and the service performed with the support team delivering a helpful and friendly answer to our evaluation question to us in barely over one hour.
PureVPN Comes bundled with a pile. These don't always work as you might expect, though, and there are lots of usability problems with the programs — but demanding users who'll use this degree of VPN power should give PureVPN an appearance.


HONG KONG – Backed by a court order, workers removed some barricades Tuesday from a Hong Kong pro-democracy protest site where activists have camped out for nearly two months in a standoff with authorities.
The workers cut plastic ties holding metal barricades together in an area outside the Citic Tower office building and then loaded them into a truck.
Student-led demonstrators, who have been protesting for greater democracy in the former British colony, did not resist. Some had already moved their tents to other parts of the protest zone ahead of the clearing operation, which was observed by dozens of court bailiffs, police officers and reporters.
The protesters oppose the Chinese government's requirement that a panel of Beijing-friendly elites screen candidates in the inaugural 2017 election for Hong Kong's top official. Chinese authorities have declared the gatherings illegal and neither the Hong Kong government nor the student leaders have shown any willingness to compromise.
Some protesters suspect that the authorities will resort to more court orders to gradually clear out the protest zones after other methods failed.
"Before they tried to use police to do it, after that they found triads. Now they're going to use bailiffs and injunctions," said protester Angelo Heung, a 34-year-old freelance art designer. "They're going to use legal principles and court orders but we still won't be afraid."
On several occasions, police took protesters by surprise as they attempted to dismantle barricades in dawn operations that backfired, drawing more people out into the streets. Groups of masked men who some suspect were members of triads, or organized crime gangs, have also clashed with protesters as they attempted to remove barricades.
The dismantling comes as options run out for the student leaders who have played a key role in organizing the street protests. Their requests to current and former Hong Kong officials to meet with senior Chinese leaders have fallen on deaf ears and an attempt by three of them to fly to Beijing last Saturday failed when their permits to enter mainland China were canceled. It's unclear what the students plan next.
In a survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong released Sunday, two-thirds of respondents said protesters should leave the three sites they are occupying across the city, while 13.9 percent said they shouldn't. The survey of 1,030 people, which had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, also found nearly half thought the government should make concessions to end the impasse.
The barricade removal comes after the tower's owner, Chinese state-owned conglomerate Citic Ltd., was granted a restraining order requiring protesters to stop blocking access for cars and pedestrians to the building. The building is across the road from the Hong Kong city government headquarters, which has been encircled by the protesters.
A court also granted a separate order against part of a second protest site in Kowloon's Mong Kok district brought by taxi and minibus operators which is expected to be enforced on Wednesday. Activists are also occupying a third site in the Causeway Bay shopping district that is not affected by any court order.


HESPERIA — Progressive Real Estate Partners announced Monday the signing of a lease with Culichi Town restaurant, with the business occupying the building that once housed the Hidden Tavern bar and eatery.
Progressive officials said Culichi Town will move into the 6,000 square-foot building located along Main Street in Hesperia. The building remodel project is underway and the restaurant is projected to open in February.
This will be the tenth California restaurant and first location in the High Desert for the eatery that specializes in dishes popular in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. These "Sinaloa-style" meals combine fish, seafood and sushi to create a unique Mexican-Japanese fusion menu.
Some Culichi Town menu items include the sushi tray, seafood snack platters, shrimp empanadas, fish tacos, burrito rolls, marlin quesadilla, breaded deep fried rolls, fried fish, prawns, shrimp cocktail, seafood tostada and chicken milanese.
The menu also includes domestic imported beers, a variety of mixed drinks, non-alcoholic beverages and a kids menu.
Culichi Town serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and is also known for its high energy atmosphere with themed nights and mariachi style music, the Ontario-based company said.
The original story of the restaurant includes Culiacán native Ramon Guerrero, a "culichi," that came to the U.S. and brought with him a passion to serve his native food to his fellow Sinaloanses.
Founded in 2011, Culichi Town also has restaurants in Chicago, Houston and Las Vegas, with plans to construct several more.
Built in the late 1990s for Bob's Big Boy, the Culichi Town building has been renovated several times — once by Beef O' Brady, which closed without notice in 2016, and by the recently-shuttered Hidden Tavern.
The restaurant is adjacent to a Holiday Inn Express and Suites on Key Pointe Avenue; and directly across from the High Desert Gateway shopping center, which is anchored by Super Target, Ross, Marshalls, Pier 1 Imports and Planet Fitness.
Progressive Real Estate Partners Senior Retail Specialist Gretchen Lastra, and Investment Sales and Land Specialist Chris Lindholm, marketed the property and represented the lessor, Hesperia-based Lemar Investments in the transaction. The tenant was represented by Jose Chavez with Karpe Commercial Real Estate.
"In addition to the excellent regional location, the building was fully equipped for a restaurant, therefore requiring less time and investment to open, making this a perfect opportunity for Culichi Town to expand its popular dining concept to a new customer base," Lastra said.
Culichi Town is located at 12728 Main Street in Hesperia. For more information, visit www.culichitowns.com.

How many episodes of Chicago P.D. have you seen?
Q: Where can I find casting calls for Chicago PD?
OK. Somebody please tell me there is a number more than 10 for this pilot. I am surprised to see Chicago P.D., specially from NBC. It's more than anything I've ever saw from Television so far and I'm Speechless. The violence is used for this series is almost enough to not be scared about and is not more than you expect to be a drama series. In years I saw so many police dramas from different networks, Criminal Minds, Justified, The Closer, Copper, Cracked, Crossing Lines and Dexter, but this is different. The idea is fresh, the casts are Good, the plot is not Predictable (I think because I just saw the pilot), directing was good, visual effects are astonishing and the series is so far building to my expectations. I cannot wait to see more. Hope this will be continues in next episodes. 10/10.

Scotland Now Powered by Floating Wind
Hywind Scotland, the first floating wind farm in the world, has started delivering electricity to the Scottish grid and the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon officially opened the wind farm on 18 October.
The 30MW wind farm, operated by Statoil in partnership with Masdar, is located 25 kilometers offshore Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland and will power approximately 20,000 households.
The onshore operations and maintenance base is located in Peterhead, while the operations centre is located in Great Yarmouth.
Linked to the project Statoil and Masdar will also install Batwind, a 1MWh Lithium battery storage solution for offshore wind energy, which has the potential to mitigate intermittency and optimise output.
"This marks an exciting development for renewable energy in Scotland. Our support for floating offshore wind is testament to this government's commitment to the development of this technology and, coupled with Statoil's Battery Storage Project, Batwind, puts us at the forefront of this global race and positions Scotland as a world centre for energy innovation," Sturgeon said.
Irene Rummelhoff, executive vice president of Statoil's New Energy Solutions, said that Hywind can be used for water depths up to 800 metres, therefore opening up areas that have been inaccessible for offshore wind so far, adding that the learnings from the project will pave the way for new global market opportunities for floating offshore wind energy. According to Rummelhoff, through their government's support to develop the project, the UK and Scotland are now at the forefront of the development of this new technology.
"Statoil has an ambition to reduce the costs of energy from the Hywind floating wind farm to EUR 40-60 EUR/MWh by 2030. Knowing that up to 80% of the offshore wind resources are in deep waters (+60 metres) where traditional bottom fixed installations are not suitable, floating offshore wind is expected to play a significant role in the growth of offshore wind going forward," Rummelhoff said.
Over the next decade, floating wind is expected to follow a cost reduction path similar to that of onshore and bottom-fixed offshore wind, making floating wind cost competitive with other renewable energy sources, according to Statoil.
Mohamed Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar, said Hywind Scotland is showing that floating wind technology can be commercially viable wherever sea depths are too great for conventional fixed offshore wind power. He pointed out that this opens numerous new geographies and that future opportunities are already being assessed.

Dogs may not seem threatening or dangerous, however when they bite the damage could be extensive. A person may need stitches or even surgery following a dog bite incident. Medical expenses can quickly pile up.
If you were bitten by a dog and were injured or harmed in any way, seek the legal advice of a seasoned Clarksville dog bite lawyer. A seasoned attorney could look at the circumstances surrounding your case, collect evidence, and help you pursue compensation that may be available.
Why Might a Dog Bite Occur?
Tennessee is generally considered a one-bite state. Meaning, a dog owner is typically not held liable for injuries inflicted by their dog the first time the dog attacks. There is an exception to this rule, however. A dog owner may not be held liable for injuries caused by their dog to someone trespassing onto the property that they own, lease, or occupy.
Given the state's general one-bite law, those who suffer dog bite injuries in Clarksville may feel they have little recourse. Fortunately, a Clarksville dog bite lawyer who is well-versed could investigate the accident and potentially direct responsibility to the dog owner if possible.
Injuries caused by a dog attack are not always due to aggressive behavior of the dog. For example, common non-aggressive dog accidents include knock-downs, tripping, or falling over. Large dogs can weigh more than 100 pounds. In an excited state, a dog could easily knock someone over. Smaller dogs can go unnoticed and often wind up underfoot. This can cause a trip and fall accident. Additionally, the force of a large dog's body may be enough to push an unsuspecting person over.
Injuries from non-aggressive dog accidents can be just as devastating as those inflicted by a vicious dog. For this reason, the Supreme Court has defined dangerous propensity to include those injuries caused by a dog's playfulness or mischievousness. In other words, if an owner has prior knowledge of their dog's propensity to jump on others, knocking them to the ground, they may be liable for any injuries caused.
Dog bite accidents can produce serious injuries and potentially alter a person's life. When an attack by a dog occurs, a person could be left with wounds that require significant medical attention.
Along with pain and discomfort, this may also result in overwhelming medical bills. Find a determined and knowledgeable Clarksville dog bite lawyer who could help negotiate with insurance companies and review different legal strategies. Stay focused on recovery and let a skilled legal representative tackle the procedures.

Global Shark Attacks Data Analysis

Essay Preview: Global Shark Attacks Data Analysis
An analysis of shark attacks reported worldwide from 1854-2015
A shark attack is an attack on a human by a shark. Every year around 80 unprovoked attacks are reported worldwide. Despite their relative rarity, the effect the media has on the population's view of shark attacks has generally been negative. Starting with the effects generated from news broadcasts, a shark attack is quickly broadcasted across the country, particularly if fatal, even though more people die from random occurrences such as lightning strikes than from a shark attack
The International Shark Attack File, internationally recognized as the definitive source of scientifically accurate information on shark attacks, is a compilation of investigations of all known shark attacks. Established in 1958, it is administered by the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida under the auspices of the American Elasmobranch Society, the world's foremost international organization of scientists studying sharks, skates, and rays. The database contains information on more than 6,000 individual investigations from the mid-1500's to present. Many of the data in the ISAF originate from the voluntary submissions of numerous cooperating scientists who serve worldwide as regional observers. Data submitted to the ISAF is screened, coded, and computerized.
The International shark attack file reported 5750 incidents of alleged shark-human interaction occurring worldwide and dating back from 1854 to 2016, 2,785 were confirmed unprovoked shark attacks, of which 439 were fatal. The aim of this project is to investigate the frequency of these attacks and to produce a comprehensive exploratory data analysis of the global shark attack datasets with an emphasis on the incidents happening at the united states of America and in later years.
The analysis conducted in this project stresses out where shark attacks are most common, which country has the most shark attacks and what activities are associated with each of these incidents. In addition to the fatality rate of shark attacks and when exactly have they most occurred. Our analysis also briefly highlights the type of injuries resulting of each attack, number of survivors over the years and the specific shark species involved in each incident.
The probability of a recorded shark attack can be modeled as the joint probability of multiple processes: the probability that a person and a shark encounter one another p(E), that such an encounter results in a bite p(B), and that the attack is communicated p(C). p(E) depends on the abundance of humans (H) and sharks (S) in the water, and on the spatial overlap between people and sharks (O). If we assume that for any given encounter p(B) and p(C) remain constant, then the probability of a recorded shark attack depends only on H, S, and O. We are analyzing the data using this probability framework.
The conclusions drawn from this study are the responses to the number of questions that can be asked about the global shark attacks data. Our goal is that the comprehensive analysis helps us introduce a perception of the risk of a shark attack.
Understanding the data:
The Global shark attacks data is in csv format and consists initially of 5750 observations and 16 attributes. Most of these attributes are categorical variables. Table 1 is describing each one of the attribute and its domain:

CARES Act & Student Loan Forgiveness: How to Apply
#Forgiveness
How to apply for CARES Act student loan forgiveness Bottom Line
Advertiser Disclousure
Stanley Tate
#1 Student Loan Lawyer
The CARES Act didn't include a provision to forgive student loan debt, but during the payment pause, thousands of borrowers have had their federal loans eliminated under existing programs the White House has worked to fix.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act is a $2.2 trillion stimulus package passed in March 2020 to address the coronavirus pandemic, which was signed into law by former President Donald Trump. The Act directed the Department of Education to suspend monthly payments and interest for most federal student loan borrowers. But it did not create a student loan forgiveness program.
Any person who contacts you claiming you're eligible to have your loan balance eliminated under the "Biden Loan Forgiveness" or "CARES Act Loan Forgiveness" is a scammer. These programs don't exist.
The student loan relief you've read about throughout the Covid-19 forbearance comes from piecemeal fixes the White House has made to four existing programs:
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
Income-Driven Repayment Plan Forgiveness
Total and Permanent Disability Discharge
Borrower Defense to Repayment Discharge
Those adjustments have led to the U.S. Department of Education wiping out $18.6 billion in debt for 750 thousand borrowers. Unfortunately, this debt relief is limited to federally held student loans (Direct, FFEL, and Perkins Loans). The government has created no programs to aid borrowers with private student loans.
Ahead, learn who qualified for student loan forgiveness since Congress passed the CARES Act and how you can join them.

How to apply for CARES Act student loan forgiveness
You can't apply to get your loans forgiven under the CARES Act because that forgiveness program doesn't exist. But you can try to have your debt erased under existing programs that the Education Department has improved over the past two years.
Limited waiver for public servants
For years, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program was broken. Complex rules and sloppy administration by student loan servicers led to the department denying 99% of all applications.
Last October, the Education Department overhauled the program and introduced a temporary set of fixes that have helped over 113 thousand public servants receive $6.8 billion in relief.
To qualify under the new changes, you must have federal student loans and work full-time for the government or qualifying nonprofit employer anytime after October 1, 2007. You can check whether your employer is eligible using the department's PSLF Help Tool on studentaid.gov.
When you're ready to apply, complete the Employment Certification form and submit it for processing.

Repayment plan forgiveness
The Education Department offers several repayment plans that require you to pay a portion of your income every month for 20 or 25 years. After you've made your final qualifying payment, the rest of your loan balance will be forgiven automatically. Read more about when will student loans go away.
The department gave the responsibility for tracking your progress towards forgiveness to student loan servicers. But a recent NPR report revealed that several of those vendors had no system for tracking payments and identifying when you qualified for loan forgiveness.
In response to that report and others, this April, the department said it would use a one-time waiver and adjustments to:
Give borrowers additional credit toward loan forgiveness for payments they've made, even if they weren't enrolled in an income-driven plan.
Count the months borrowers postponed their payments through forbearance and some deferments towards loan forgiveness under the PSLF and IDR programs.
These changes will immediately eliminate the debts of at least 40 thousand borrowers through the PSLF program and will give 3.6 million people working toward income-driven forgiveness at least three years of additional credits.
You need not apply for this relief. And you don't have to switch to one of the income-driven repayment options.
The Education Department has yet to release more details about the eligibility requirements for this relief. As of now, all federally backed loans qualify — Direct Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, or loans made under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Defaulted loans will also qualify after the loans are returned to good standing under the "fresh start" program.
The department will work immediately to update accounts, but you may not see the credit reflected on your file until the end of the year.
Learn More: What is IDR Loan Forgiveness?
Your federal student loan debt can be forgiven if a physician, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or the Social Security Administration declares that you are totally and permanently disabled. Few people have benefited from this program because they didn't know about it. And those that did were met with convoluted rules and tedious paperwork.
Last August, the Biden administration announced reforms that have eventually led to over 400 thousand permanently disabled borrowers receiving 7.8 billion in relief.
The biggest change is that the Education Department will use Social Security Administration data to identify eligible borrowers. Starting this September, the department will match data with SSA every three months.
The other significant move was to temporarily waive the three-year monitoring period in which borrowers must submit documentation verifying their income. Normally, your loans could be reinstated if you don't submit paperwork verifying your income every year. But now, that paperwork requirement is waived indefinitely. The department is getting rid of it altogether through the negotiated rulemaking process.
To apply for this program, you need to complete this form and have your physician sign it or attach proof of your permanent and total disability from the VA or SSA.
Some private lenders will cancel student loan debt if the primary borrower becomes permanently disabled. But the cosigner will still be responsible for the debt until it's paid in full.

Borrower Defense to Repayment
Since President Biden took office, the Education Department has discharged $2.1 billion in federal student loan debt for borrowers ripped off by schools that broke consumer-protection laws. The program, known as Borrower Defense to Repayment, was stymied under President Trump's education secretary, Betsy DeVos. But after Miguel Cardona was appointed as the new head of the department, he quickly approved thousands of applications.
The program still isn't a windfall for everyone who was misled by their school. So far, relief has been limited to people who attended a handful of schools:
ITT Technical Institute
Westwood College
Marinello Schools of Beauty
Court Reporting Institute
Minnesota School of Business/Globe University (criminal justice students only)
You may qualify for this program if you believe your school intentionally misled you about your education program or violated state laws and consumer protection statutes.
You can submit a Borrower Defense to Repayment application electronically at borrowerdischarge.ed.gov or fill out a PDF and return it to the Education Department by mail.

After passing the CARES Act, the federal government has paused student loan payments, lowered the interest rate on loans to zero, and improved several existing student loan forgiveness programs that will bring relief to millions of borrowers.

As you may know if you're following my fledgling blog, I've started publishing my travel bucket list, organized by continent. Today, I bring you South America, by which I mean everything south of the USA border.
You may have noticed that only a few very specific places made this list. While I would love to give myself several months to explore South America in-depth, the truth is that my health and my physical constitution would not allow it. Or I could push both, but at great cost to my overall well-being. Even some of the places that made the list are very prohibitive to me (Perito Moreno, Lake Titicaca, even Machu Picchu) and would require months of preparation and physical training beforehand, not to mention carrying along a supply of pharmaceutical products that would put your local drugstore to shame.
And while I agree that human beings should push themselves out of their comfort zones in order to get a taste of real life, this is not about being physically comfortable and enjoying various amenities or being afraid of unknown surroundings, but about not being physically able to handle certain aspects of travel in third-world countries.
And no, this is not to say that I fare better in "civilization." I got diarrhea from the water supply in Paris, and a severe stomach bug (with diarrhea AND fever) in London. In Jordan, I had such severe diarrhea that I had to be hospitalized for dehydration. (Maybe I should've named this blog "The Crappy Traveller.") And these were all very "civilized" places, with all the amenities I could wish for, and well within my comfort zone.
What can I say, there are ramifications to travel when you're not in perfect health. But there are places on this planet that are worth the pain and discomfort. And that is why hiking the Perito Moreno glacier made my list.
Your wish is my command, m'am. I'll definitely get to talk about Jordan at some point.


In the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, Rajbagh Royals [In pic] beat Razaykadal Superheroes.
As Kashmir snuggled under the winter snow, its expatriates in Dubai batted away in a desert. The Kashmir Super League (KSL), a cricket tournament sponsored by Kashmiris living in the United Arab Emirates, became the perfect pitch to celebrate their history, culture and love for the game. It is, after all, in Kashmir that the willow grows and is carved into cricket bats.
Season Two of the KSL - mostly played at the Ajman Oval, 40 km from Dubai -was the most sought-after event for UAE's Kashmiri expats for the past two weeks, even as many across the globe followed the matches online. The KSL became a Kashmiri carnival.
Inayat Fazili, an engineer who is one of the organisers of the cricket league, says KSL has managed to create a home away from home for Kashmiris. It became a major stress buster for an expatriate population that is worried about pellets and political uncertainty back home and their own life and work in a foreign land.
The concept of a cricket league germinated during a friendly teatime banter about the Pakistan Super League and the Indian Premier League (IPL) in Dubai last year. Why not a Twenty20 cricket league for Kashmir, which does not figure in the IPL anyway?
They were initially hesitant, because of their own inexperience in organising sport events and the uncertainty about the kind of response a cricket league would have in the Gulf. Eventually, they kick-started the first season of KSL with eight teams in May 2016.
"We got a huge response. It became a big event among Kashmiris in the UAE," says 30-something Fazili, who works in a telecom company and has been living in Dubai for over a decade.
On Thursdays and Fridays, the Ajman Oval became a picnic spot for Kashmiris. Many came with their families to enjoy the T20 matches.
Some brought the traditional salted tea in a Kashmiri samovar and poured it for fellow spectators. Others brought food - and it became a Kashmiri festival in Dubai.
"It became a place to meet and network. Cricket became the common denominator for all of us," Imran Malik, an engineer and organiser, told ET Magazine over the phone.
Buoyed by the response, many players wanted to resume the second season in September last year. However, the protests and killings back home in Kashmir made it a particularly difficult to organise a sports event.
The second season of KSL, inaugurated by Kashmiri cricketer Parvez Rasool, started in January this year, with 14 teams consisting of over 200 Kashmiri players. Every match attracted a crowd of more than 300 people and the inauguration ceremony brought together around 600.
In the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, Rajbagh Royals beat Razaykadal Superheroes. A 40-member delegation of civil society members from Kashmir watched the match apart from thousands of Kashmiris who logged online.
The trophies smelled of Kashmir. The Rajbagh Royals lifted a copper cup with intricate design, which came from Kashmir. The man of the match trophies were of walnut wood and shaped like a chinar leaf.
The teams are owned by Kashmiri businessmen and professionals settled in the UAE and are named after different places in the Kashmir Valley - the Nowhatta Rebels, Pahalgam Panthers, Srinagar Sultans and Lal Chowk Leopards. There is a team after the famous wetland Hokarsar and another after the wildlife sanctuary Dachigam.
Every sponsor, according to Malik and Fazili has spent 10,000 UAE dirhams (about Rs 1.8 lakh) on the team, and many others volunteered to bring food and water for players and spectators. Sustaining the tournament is a major concern, as every team needs at least 20,000 dirhams every season. Besides, they have to pay around 2,000 dirhams for every match on the Ajman grounds.
Cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar and Sarfraz Ahmed and Bollywood actors, including Javed Jaffrey and Kunal Kapoor, have come out in support of the league. The players say they need more encouragement and sponsors to make the league a success.
The organisers are now registering with the Dubai Cricket Council (DCC), under whose patronage Season Three of the KSL is likely to be played. "We hope that people from Kashmir and expatriates from across the globe will own and sponsor teams," says Malik, who claims to have communicated with the DCC for KSL-III.
Many Kashmiris from different countries, including the US, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Japan, have expressed their desire to join KSL or form similar community leagues in their respective countries.
"We will try to form few a A-division cricket teams which can travel and play club cricket abroad. Also, we want to form a Kashmir team, whose players can then venture into international cricket," says Fazili.
Many politicians from Kashmir, the organisers claim, have tried to offer money to sponsor the league and expressed keenness to preside over match ceremonies.
However, the organisers want to keep this league apolitical. "They can come and enjoy as spectators, like everybody else," says an organiser. The Kashmiri willow is on a song in a corner of a foreign land.

Q: Let $a, b, c$ be positive real numbers such that $abc=1.$ Prove that $(a-1+1/b)(b-1+1/c)(c-1+1/a)\le1$ Let $a, b, c$ be positive real numbers such that $abc=1.$ Prove that:
$$\left(a-1+\dfrac1b\right)\left(b-1+\dfrac1c\right)\left(c-1+\dfrac1a\right)\le1$$
or equivalently:
$$(ab-b+1)(bc-c+1)(ca-a+1)\le1$$
What I have tried:
Computing $\left(a-1+\dfrac1b\right)$ using $abc=1$ and similarly computing others and then multiplying them. But it didn't help.
Any help will be appreciated.

A: Note that at most one of the three factors is negative. For example if $$a-1+\frac1b<0\quad\text{and}\quad b-1+\frac1c<0,$$ then the first inequality implies $-1+\frac1b<0$ while the second implies $b-1<0$, an impossibility.
If exactly one factor is negative, then the product is negative and we are done. So assume all factors are positive. We have $$\left(a-1+\frac1b\right)\left(b-1+\frac1c\right)=ab-a+\frac ac-b+1-\frac1c+1-\frac1b+\frac1{bc}.$$ Using $ab=\frac1c$ and $\frac1{bc}=a$ this simplifies to $$\left(a-1+\frac1b\right)\left(b-1+\frac1c\right)=\frac ac-b-\frac1b+2\le \frac ac$$ since $b+\frac1b\geq 2$. Analogously we obtain $$\left(b-1+\frac1c\right)\left(c-1+\frac1a\right)\le \frac ba$$ and $$\left(c-1+\frac1a\right)\left(a-1+\frac1b\right)\le \frac cb.$$ The result follows by multiplying the three inequalities above. Equality holds if and only if $a=b=c=1$.

As the United States prepares to withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, FRONTLINE examines the reason why: the Bush administration's determination to deploy an antimissile system. Supporters say national missile defense is essential to protecting America from a missile attack by rogue states. Critics argue that terrorist attacks like September 11 are a far greater threat than that posed by ballistic missiles. In this program, FRONTLINE examines both sides of the missile defense debate. Through interviews with staunch proponents, skeptical scientists, and military and intelligence experts, the documentary investigates this multi-billion dollar -- yet still unproven -- weapons system, and explores how national missile defense fits into the nation's military strategy after 9/11.
