Despite LGBT Activists 'Forcing' Their Agenda on Americans, Young Adults Growing More Conservative on Sexuality

The push to normalize the LGBT agenda has been making headlines across the country for years, and it seems young people are the main target.
CBN News has been following the ongoing push to normalize LGBT ideology, week after week.
For example, a popular online homeschooling resource has been quietly promoting the LGBT lifestyle to children.
Some of Khan Academy's free instructional curriculum is interwoven with a politically correct view of homosexuality, according to LifeSiteNews.
And over the past year there's been a sudden spike in drag queens reading to small children in public schools, libraries, and even churches.
Another example involves indoctrination through children's TV shows, like the ninth and final season of the animated series "My Little Pony" on the Discovery Family Channel, which features a lesbian couple.
That's just the latest children's program to target kids with the LGBTQ agenda. Last month, The PBS animated series "Arthur" featured a gay wedding, and "Doc McStuffins" featured a gay storyline two years ago.
With all of that in mind, it might surprise many that young adults are actually growing more conservative on the LGBT issue.
A new poll reveals that millennials appear to be more traditional on the subject.
The survey, conducted by the Harris Poll for Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) among 1,754 non-LGBTQ American adults, found that 33 percent of Americans ages 18-34 say they would be uncomfortable having their child placed in a class with an LGBTQ teacher.
That's an increase from 29 percent among that age group three years ago, and 25 percent in 2016.
Another 39 percent of young adults 18-34 say they would be uncomfortable learning their child had a lesson on LGBTQ history in school.
In fact, 39 percent of all adults say they would not want their child having LGBTQ history lessons, up from 31 percent in 2017.
Now LGBTQ activists are planning to double down on their efforts. "This year's results demonstrate an urgent need for GLAAD to reach younger Americans with stories and campaigns that build acceptance," said GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis.
But Glenn T. Stanton, director of global family formation studies at Focus on the Family, says that might not work. In an interview with Christian Headlines, he said the data might be the result of a backlash.
"This year's numbers actually show a continuation of what could be a trend," said Stanton. "I think it has to do with the fact that the gay movement continues to over-play its hand and that will certainly continue. Rather than simply being 'live and let live,' they are forcing Americans to embrace their politics, and often with overwhelming muscle and the life-crushing public accusations of a person's so-called 'bigotry' and 'hatefulness' if they dare disagree."
Elizabeth Johnston, also known as the Activist Mommy, is outraged about the increasing pressure to normalize identity disorders and she's pushing back.
"'Gender Insanity' is a term I coined which I believe is very fitting to describe a revolutionary and subversive movement to normalize gender confusion, sexual deviancy, erase gender distinctions and really bully any Christian or free thinker who is not willing to conform to this new gender paradigm," Johnston explained on a recent edition of CBN News' Prayerlink.
Johnston encourages Christians to not be afraid to speak up for what they believe.
"Don't be bullied into silence and compliance. That's when they win."

«Why Is Everyone Making Their Social Media Profile Pictures Blue?


I just purchased a used Klepper AE2 and would like to apply a coat of clear coat varnish, but I have a couple of questions.
1. Does any cleaning need to be done prior to application, more than being wiped down with a damp cloth?
2. Does any sanding need to be done first also.
3. I have a set of Klepper paddles, also and much of the varnish is warn off, as well as the dark brown 'stain' on the blades. Would one apply stain or just varnish?
4. Is outdoor polyurethane varnish be sufficient or do I need a special marine varnish?
7. apply two or more coats of varnish. Any varnish will do it, as the frame is not exposed to sun light. Lightly sand with 220 grit sandpaper between coats, and clean with tack cloth.
In wood refinishing, all above steps are important. Leave one out and feelings of regret and distaste will occur. Better to do it right in the first place.
In 50 years, or so wooden paddles by Klepper will become collectors items. I'd treat them therefore as any other wooden parts of the kayak. No need to use stain. After treatment, I'd store them in the attic for the future generations (within my family). One day they may decide to use them to decorate country cottage on the lake. It would also become the only thing that they will know about their great grandpa.
Thank you for such a thorough and thought out response. I will definitely redo the paddles correctly and keep them for the future.
7. apply two or more coats of varnish.
Like something terrible would happen to metal parts not covered with masking tape... As to the paddles - they are just paddles... Varnish will be gone on half the surface in a couple of seasons. And then a practical way to minimize water absorption in paddles (you can never eliminate it completely) is treating it with Deftoil once a season. On the shaft Deft will be gone pretty soon too, but shaft is normally dry, unless it's a submarine paddling.
In 50 years, or so wooden paddles by Klepper will become collectors items.
Nah... Too many of them, too simple product. Not more collectors item than those 50-yrs old reed snowshoes displayed over fireplaces in some homes and skiing lodges. And the owner, if a showshoer himself, uses metal and composite snowshoes. (Most Klepper boaters use composite paddles too, these days, - more efficient gear). I've heard some showshoes found in Siberia were carbon-dated to 2500 B.C., but those were in a condition not suitable for displaying over a fireplace.
You've got it right. They won't know a sh.t.
You're also right that storing them in attic for future generations is the best one can do with this item.... Buying a decent pair of composite paddles meanwhile, and using them for the purpose that they were made for.
I might add that using a heat gun and plastic scraper will significantly reduce the amount of labour. Just be carefull not to overheat near any of the rod holders etc. This will help reduce the amount of wood sanding etc.
For the spar finish not removed, a good buffing with 120 will set it up for the next coat. I would recommend about 8 total coats.
Alex is right that the hardware shouldn't need to be masked unless you intend to get sloppy. Just don't apply the varnish to the snap locks, tongues and hinges. Too thin or too much varnish will run and bead, -another reason not to be sloppy.
Reviving this nearly thread 10-year-old thread (!) as I'm now re-varnishing my own Klepper's wood. Help on any of the additional questions below would be appreciated.
2. Is it worth adding turpentine or paint thinner to the first couple coats of varnish? I've read mixed opinions on whether this is necessary. Some say adding a little allows the varnish to penetrate more deeply into the wood, giving it more "bite" and a longer lasting finish. Others say it's unnecessary.
3. How long to wait between each coat of varnish, or does it vary? Is there a way to tell when the wood is ready for another coat of varnish by sight, smell, or touch?
4. Any tips/advice for how to work around the metal clasps and fittings? Some of the wood will be pretty hard to reach without removing the metal fittings. I worry that removing the metal pieces will compromise their ability to stay fastened when I put them back in.

One of my family's favorite holiday movies is A Christmas Story. Let's take a look at the house they used in the movie, and how they recreated the look and feel of a Midwestern home from the 1940s.
The movie was based on Jean Shepherd's book In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash.
The stories took place in the fictional town of Hohman, a stand-in for Hammond, Indiana, where Shepherd grew up.
The movie premiered in 1983 to mixed reviews and quickly disappeared from theaters. Now, of course, it's considered a holiday classic, and you can catch it playing on television throughout the month of December.
Dad won a "Major Award:" A leg lamp.
Dad and the boys are excited. Mom isn't so sure.
The neighbor who comes up and asks what it is was Director Bob Clark in a cameo.
The family goes to Higbee's Department Store to see Santa. All Ralphie wants is a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot, Range Model Air Rifle. But Santa is sort of terrifying, as are the elves, and Ralphie freezes up when the time comes to ask for it.
Just when he had given up hope, Ralphie gets the Red Ryder air rifle he was hoping for!
The house that was used for the exterior shots in the movie is in Cleveland, Ohio.
In 2006, the house museum opened as a tourist attraction. He even purchased the house next door and converted it to a gift shop and museum dedicated to the film.
My son first watched this movie when he was about 5 years old. We watched at least once during the holiday and then we watch every Christmas Eve. We love this movie.
Hey Julia! We'll be keeping your dad in our prayers!
This house is only 1 1/2 hours away from us….haven't gone yet. We have those leg lamps in two homes on our neighborhood….one is us ALL YEAR LONG! Yulk!
Anyway, hope all is going well!
Okay, who doesn't love this movie? And who doesn't love that for 24 hours on December 24th you can turn on TBS and find yourself in the middle of it?
Julia, where in Northern Indiana? I myself spent 4 fantastic years in South Bend.
If my father was still with us, I'd buy that lamp in a heart beat. My dad loved that movie. So much so, that after he saw it, the next day he took me and my boyfriend (now my husband) to see it. My husband and I have great memories of my dad laughing so hard watching the movie in the theaters. It's a must see for our family during the holiday season. Movie night is coming up! YEAH!
Good news Julia! Hope your little one feels better soon too!
Whoah! Glad your Dad is doing well. Hope Lily feels better soon!
My daughter is suffering from some chest wall pain right now – not fun.
I love this movie, and really enjoyed this post. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I have an even deeper appreciation for your amazing blog. My photos don't look anything like the great pics you post that show such great detail of the homes you're writing about.
Grest news about your Dad, Julia! Here's hoping Lily gets better soon.
I thought I was this movies's number one fan! I dedicate a tree in my home each Christmas to it, and have watched it umpteenth times. Thanks for giving it the attention it deserves!!
Has anyone else spotted "Ralphie" in the movie "Four Christmases?" My 22 year-old daughter could pick him out of a crowd at 100 paces. Me? I still can't believe it's really him … all grown up.
Greetings – over from Linda at the Lime… You know they're auctioning an overnight on eBay at this house. You get to sleep over on Christmas Eve and have breakfast or something. And I think Christmas dinner is Chinese. Seriously.
I love this movie. One case where the movie outdid the book!
Hey! That's my kitchen sink in there! Julia, glad to hear your Dad is fine and hope little Lily is recovering nicely, too.
I'm so glad about your dad.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad having surgery. Prayers for him and your family.
I was secretly hoping you wouldn't do Ralphie's house…'cause it was my back up plan for your bloggeriffic house tour next week. 🙂 But I'm glad you did…you do a way better tour than I would have, and I just LOVE this movie. Can you believe it's 25 years old?? Crazy how time flies.
I love this movie, too! I remember a couple of years ago, Rite Aid had those leg lamps and I thought about getting one, lol. They were much smaller though and hey, if I'm going to get one, it might as well be the big one, right?
I hope all went well for your dad!
Hey…. wheres the stove i think i speak for all of us and ask to see the stove.. i cant find any pictures of the stove. my family bought a stove and the people that sold it to us said its the stove from the christmas story. i want to find out if its true.
Isn't that the stove in the 3rd still? I grew up in Hammond. THIS house is wonderful – the real house in Hammond is dismal & uncared for. Not nearly as charming as the one in the movie. As a former Hammond citizen, I keep thinking they will do something one day with the potential asset. In the middle of the last century, I attended a pre-K summer school program in the last-standing building left from the original Harding Elementary School 'Ralphie' went to. It was an old gym-type building with numerous giant, paned windows that could still be pushed open with one of those long sticks with the strange hook on the end for the purpose. The morning dew was still on, the birds were singing thru the open windows – the whole room was a great golden oak sunbean. It was a very early summer morning & I can hear "John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith (da da da da da da da)" still echoing as we sang with the piano banging about in that big hall. That's the very last of Jean Shepherd's world I knew. They have a modern structure named after him as a community center, but otherwise that's all. Perhaps someone will wise up one day in Hammond. The plot of land the school stood on is still empty – ideas anyone? No? Ho Hum. Local government.
Hello. This house still sits there in exactly the same shape. I found a page on facebook of people who have actually visited it. It is a museum now. It's cool you should look it up!

Best Headset for Xbox Series X 2021 (Turtle Beach, SteelSeries)
Last Updated Oct 28, 2020
A high quality gaming headset could be the difference in hearing someone sneaking up on you or missing out on that first place in your favorite battle royale. But, it's certainly difficult to find out which are the absolute best headsets out there due to the wide array of brands and models on the market. What makes it even more tricky is that some are compatible for certain consoles but won't work as intended on others. So, in this article, we're going to be talking you through the best headsets for your Xbox Series X so that you can take full advantage of today's incredible audio.
We'll be talking you through the best Xbox Series X headsets in terms of premium, value, and budget so you should be able to find one to suit your needs. We'll also be breaking down the different types of Xbox Series X headsets so that you can come away much more informed on the whole headset field thus making a better purchase.
Types of Xbox Series X Headsets
Best Headsets for Xbox Series X
Best Xbox Series X Headset
Best Value Xbox Series X Headset
Best Budget Xbox Series X Headset
Nowadays, pretty much all Xbox Series X headsets will have a microphone but, there are a couple of variations – detachable and non-detachable. Naturally, if you're going to be using your headset solely for your Xbox Series X then you'll probably just opt for a non-detachable microphone because why bother with another removable part that you could either potentially lose or end up breaking. However, if you're wanting a multi-functional gaming headset then maybe picking one up that has a detachable microphone might not be a bad idea. This way, you can take it out and about and use them as traditional headphones without that microphone hindering both the aesthetics and overall build.
Of course, there are also wired and wireless Xbox Series X headsets. Wired are the tried and tested models that have been iterated on for some time now thus making them reliable and pretty cost-effective. However, having the freedom of a wireless gaming headset for your Xbox Series X is certainly desirable and probably the choice for many. Thanks to advancements in tech wireless headsets are better than ever and as showcased by our best Xbox Series X headsets below, you can see why.
Best Xbox Series X Headset
SteelSeries Arctis 9X Wireless
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2
Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X
SteelSeries is highly regarded as one of the best gaming headset manufacturers around so there's no surprise that one of their models makes it onto this list. The Arctis 9X Wireless Gaming Headset has been specifically crafted with Xbox functionality in mind going one step further than just Bluetooth functionality by providing full Xbox wireless support. This means you can simply connect directly to your Xbox Series X console rather than the controller with no additional dongles required. Moreover, you're able to connect it to your Xbox Series X console as well as another device via Bluetooth, having full call functionality or even listen to music via another device while also hearing the in-game audio of the game you're playing.
Looking at the sound you'll be receiving from the 9X, it comes equipped with signature Arctis sound which is award winning, giving you all the in-game noises you need at the right levels. No more jumping out of your seat from a blown-out sounding bang, everything is tailored to minute detail. The ClearCast microphone is also brilliant utilizing a bidirectional design which enables noise cancellation superior to most other gaming headsets on the market. In addition, the microphone itself can either be almost hidden inside the frame of the headset as well as the ability to pull it out and have it close to your mouth for those intense comms.
Finally, the battery life. You're looking at around 20+ hours on a full charge from the 9X which has been made possible thanks to a brand new chipset that's gone into the headset. Moreover, this chipset has been specifically designed with Xbox integration in mind which then compounds the power savings.
Overall, the SteelSeries Arctis 9X really is the full package when it comes to Xbox Series X headsets. Not only has it been specifically designed for the Xbox itself, it also comes with all the top features traditional SteelSeries headsets are known for making it the best headset for Xbox Series X owners in our eyes.
Like SteelSeries, Turtle Beach is prolific in the gaming industry for manufacturing seriously great peripherals. However, while SteelSeries has a wide range out there, Turtle Beach focuses all their efforts into headsets and therefore this translates into not only incredible devices but also brilliant value too. The Stealth 700 Gen 2 is one of said headsets that has top tier features but at a lower cost than the Arctis 9X making it good value in our opinion.
This is the second generation of the Stealth 700 and with it brings more features and frills over the first generation. One of these is the inclusion of that all-important Xbox wireless functionality, removing the need for any additional adapters or connecting to the controller. You can, like the 9X also hook your headset up to another Bluetooth device and take calls or listen to music all while staying connected to your Xbox Series X console, a great feature and a welcomed addition.
In terms of audio quality, you'll be receiving Turtle Beach's latest nanoclear 50mm speakers in which have refined internal acoustics to provide you with the absolute best in-game audio focused on realistic tones. They've also utilized something known as superhuman hearing that allows the user to hear the absolute quietest of in-game footsteps. No more enemies sneaking up on you!
Finally, the design. With stealth in the name of the headset, there's no surprise that it comes in all-black with silver accents to provide a sleek look that many out there would love. Moreover, the earcups are a sight to behold with aerofit cooling gel-infused memory foam ear cushions that provide maximum comfort even after multiple hour gaming sessions.
Yes, it is still pricey when you compare it to other wireless headsets for the Xbox Series X but, because it comes with all the fantastic additions over the 1st generation and almost matching the Arctis 9X is every regard while also being cheaper, that's why it deserves our best value Xbox Series X headset stamp.
As our final best headset for Xbox Series X pick, we've got a budget option for you savvy savers out there who are wanting a low-cost headset that still does the job. That headset is the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X which comes in at a fantastic price yet still offers some pretty great specs.
The sound quality isn't going to compare to the likes of the above headsets but it's still more than enough to get by in your games thanks to the 40mm speakers, large enough to provide you the smaller audio details as well as those big bangs you're obviously going to encounter. On the wire that you'll be plugging directly into your Xbox Series X controller, you'll see controls for turning the volume up and down as well as a muting slider allowing you to conveniently mute your microphone.
More on that microphone, it's incredibly adjustable with its bendy nature, allowing you to either have it right next to your mouth for those intense situations ro further away if you're casually chatting with your friends. The microphone itself is highly sensitive and provides crystal clear voice pickup, great for not only you but also those on the receiving end of your chat. Additionally, a welcomed feature is that you can fully detach the microphone, perfect if you want to take the headset out and about without having to have that microphone in your way.
Finally, the overall design is a simplistic one but has all the Turtle Beach trademarks that we all know and love with stealth blacks and vibrant greens. There's even green material with Turtle Beach logos inside the earcups, a small detail that some may not appreciate but it's the little things that give off a more premium feel at a budget cost.
There's literally no reason to pass on the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X headset if you need a budget headset for the Xbox Series X. It ticks all the boxes when it comes to the basic necessities that a peripheral of this nature needs and due to the build quality Turtle Beach is known for, you know it's going to last.
Similar to that of controllers, there are advantages and disadvantages of wired and wireless headsets. As previously stated with our top wireless picks above, thanks to the technology of today, there's certainly less of a worry when it comes to wireless range, interference, and battery life with dramatic improvements all round. However, some still prefer wired headsets over wireless because of the previous as you eliminate pretty much all potential worries in that regard as they're constantly plugged in.
At the end of the day, it's all down to preference. If you want to be wire-free and take the aforementioned risks then go for it, the tech of today is substantially better. But, if you want a tried and tested gaming headset, that's probably lighter as well, then a wired choice shouldn't be shied away from.
All in all, if you're a wireless gaming headset fan, there's no question that the SteelSeries Arctis 9X is the best headset for Xbox Series X. It has all the features that you could possibly need and thanks to the more than impressive sound quality, you'll be hearing those footsteps of your enemies all over the map. On the flip side, if you're more inclined to pick a wired headset or you simply want to pick up a headset for Xbox Series X on a tighter budget, you can't really go wrong with the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X. It's been a staple for many Xbox One owners out there and thanks to the Xbox Series X console/controller being compatible with Xbox One accessories, it's a cost-effective yet top-quality option. Pair either of these up with the best Xbox Series X monitor or best Xbox Series X controller and you'll have a formidable setup going into next generation console gaming.

Recently i was too addicted to this mayonnaise..But i was not at all feeling guilty at all, because this is so easy to make and so healthy as well, since there is no much oil in this.
I have made another version of eggless mayo in this blog before, which starts with a base of white sauce. But this version is much healthier because it is made with cornflour.
Take cornflour in a bowl, add in 1/2 cup of milk and mix well.
Now take remaining milk in a sauce pan and heat till it is heated up.
Add in the cornflour mix in slowly and keep mixing till there is no lumps. Keep cooking till it gets thick.
Remove this to a bowl, add in remaining ingredients and use a whisk to whip till creamy.
Refrigerate it and use as needed.
1)When you refrigerate it, if it gets too thick. take the mayo in a mixer, add little more milk and blend till smooth.
2)This can be stored in fridge for 10 days.
first of all I want to tell you that your blog is awesome, I am really happy that I found your blog.
I have bookmarked some recipes of yours, but I think I will try this low fat mayonnaise recipe first, next ginger chicken…thanks for sharing..
@Anonymousu can add ground mustard seeds as well.
@JEETHU JOYstore this in a air tight container in fridge. stays good for upto a week or 10 days.
It's Monica again, just to keep my words, I have tried your recipe.
I have posted the recipe and link back to your blog.
I tried ur previous version of mayonnaise, it was awesome. how long we it can stay without vinegar?
@Breeze PU need to add vinegar, it will stay good for 10 days.
Your site is too good and I am trying many recipes from yours.. but personally I feel there are too much of ads which is like a hindrance. if you can look into it, it will be awesome..
Can v skip mustard seeds or sauce??
Can I use apple cider vinegar? Or should it be only white vinegar?
What a waste of ingredients. When it cooled it was a solid piece of car tyre. Are you sure it should be 4 TABLESPOONS cornflour?
once it gets cooled, you have to whip it up. You can use a blender to whip till creamy and fluffy.

Tag Archives: Question Time
Posted on June 3, 2017 by irishmarxism
I've just finished watching Question Time and the performances of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn. I can't remember the last time I watched it and I haven't a clue when the next time will be after having watched this one.
The expectations of May were so low she exceeded them – damned by faint praise I think it's called. Not quite so robotic but incapable of smiling without facial contortions that reveal she is anything but genuine in any emotion she shows; itself revealing she is anything but genuine in anything she says. As time went on her answers became less credible and her performance less impressive. Tonight, she was helped by a relatively healthy dose of predominantly old reactionaries in the audience.
Six weeks ago I wrote a post that said that "the election will truly have revealed the bankruptcy of the bourgeois electoral process if May can keep her mouth shut about what Brexit actually entails". Tonight, for the umpteenth time, she did exactly that. Asked what a bad deal was like, that made no deal more attractive, she said nothing.
But I got it wrong – she has hardly said anything about anything and performing a U-turn on what she has said. Her strategy has been to pretend that Jeremy Corbyn is such a disaster that she looks good. Unfortunately for her, the media has been forced to give Corbyn greater opportunity to present both himself and his policies without distortion; the political classes and its media have therefore been shocked to find that millions of people actually like him and like his policies even more. Not only that, but the BBC has been unable to continue to report on Corbyn through has-been Blairites claiming that he's a disaster; mainly because the Mandelson's of this world and Blair himself no longer matter now that people have a real decision to make.
The claim that Theresa May should be Prime Minister because she is Theresa May has therefore worn out rather quickly. What she has been forced to rely upon is Brexit and the right-wing swing in British politics that Brexit has represented and accelerated. Reactionary nostrums against immigration, foreigners, the EU – because they're foreigners – the peculiar virtuousness of the British as the counterpoint to aggressive foreigners; all this has been presented with her own unique dead as a robot delivery, in a reactionary nationalist stew that relies on prejudice and ignorance to fill in the gaps where a coherent narrative should be.
It has to be said, that in this she has been assisted no end by the cluelessness of the British media. Like its treatment of Corbyn, this is not simply due to establishment prejudice and conscious antipathy to socialist ideas. It is also due to its own ignorance of the clusterfuck that Brexit will entail. Despite all the dramatic changes in world politics over the last few years, the British chattering classes simply cannot conceive of Britain not being the country that it now is with its rather prominent role in the world.
So, it is when Theresa May is pushed into a corner about Brexit and she comes out with 'we are not afraid to walk away with no deal – no deal is better than a bad deal', that total incomprehension switches on. The next question is perfectly obvious – so what happens when there is no deal? Paxman and all the rest can go no further than this response because they simply cannot conceive that no deal means the cutting off of Britain from the rules and regulations, the trade deals and agreements with other countries that allow Britain to trade and exchange with the rest of the world. From being allowed to fly over other countries airspace to landing at their airports to being credited with having safe food and medicines, all these collapse with no deal.
The absence of such mutual recognition threatens the UK being thrown off the proverbial cliff with no rubbish about this also being the fate of the EU – none of this "the UK and EU will both lose", because one will indeed lose but it won't find itself isolated. The threat of no deal always assumes unthinkable that there will really be no deal, but actually assumes that the EU will offer concessions after being threatened and cough up a better compromise.
The virus that has engulfed the Tory Party is not simply a Tory pathogen but is one that resides in British society as a whole. Especially the privately educated journalist profession that is parasitical on the Westminster village and the privately educated politicians who went to the same schools the journalists went to twenty or thirty years before them.
I had naively assumed that May and Corbyn would be asked the same question at the same time and would take turns in answering; instead it was a programme of two halves. It was hard not to conclude that May left the first half pleased that she managed not to have parroted 'strong and stable' – yet another U-turn, which of course was yesterday's inane drivel.
So, if May exceed expectations only by not being so crass, so robotic and so contorted, she nevertheless remained unimpressive. She is a very limited politician who has looked even worse than these limitations might normally have revealed by moving decisively outside her comfort zone, where lies being Prime Minister and leading her country at a decisive turning point in its history. What a pity she sells herself on her supposed unique innate ability to do just this.
If Jeremy Corbyn slightly disappointed it is only because (1) he has performed so well so far and (2) I'm a Marxist who believes there is such a stronger case for socialism than he can make. Partly his weaknesses are those of his party and his very incomplete transformation of that party and its programme, but partly it is due to the limitations of his own politics.
During the questioning he was put on the back foot most when he refused to answer directly whether he would press the nuclear button if Britain itself was under nuclear attack. At one point this looked like it might get quite frenzied – testament to a number of reactionaries in the audience who seemed to be fully paid up members of the fan club devoted to the film 'Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb'.
It took one young woman to make the point that there was something wrong with so many people demanding the murder of millions of people. Presumably these reactionaries would have been satisfied with an answer something like this – ok, we're about to be vapourised by a nuclear attack but don't get angry that I might not press the button because I'm going to kill millions of people as well, people who, just like you, had no hand in this attack and who don't deserve to die. Oh, and another thing, don't worry, our missiles will hit the intended target and not go off in the wrong direction like one did recently. Such is the degenerate politics of the Tory party and the diseased prejudices of its die-hard support. There can be no doubt the nasty party is back.
In general the audience showed greater sympathy with Jeremy Corbyn and those in sympathy showed more enthusiasm. I am reminded of the reaction of football players scoring a goal for my football team – they smile and cheer – expressing joy at scoring; while when those of their erstwhile rivals score they almost invariably snarl and gesticulate as if venting a deeply pent-up rage. The supporters of Jeremy Corbyn applauded declarations of hope and promises of a better society while the Tory supporters acclaimed declarations of 'toughness' and meanness. You know when you're on the right side when the warmest of human emotions best expresses your political views.
When I wrote that "the election will truly have revealed the bankruptcy of the bourgeois electoral process if May can keep her mouth shut about what Brexit actually entails", I also continued – "and Corbyn can maintain that he will defend workers' rights without threatening Brexit." The major weakness of the whole Labour campaign is the same as that of the Tories – the claim that there can be a good Brexit. For the Tories this has a massive plus side – the opportunity to burn workers' rights and slash taxation for big business. For workers Brexit has no up-side.
Brexit will entail economic dislocation and deep attacks on working people. Victory for Jeremy Corbyn would see him inherit a policy that will do nothing to assist his social-democratic programme – he cannot decisively reverse inequality and improve the standard of living of British workers while leaving the EU. Not because the EU is so wonderful but because exiting it is to step back from the current level of economic development and invites an alternative model that the Tories have correctly identified as an off-shore dumping ground of low corporate taxes, de-regulation and super-exploitation. In such an environment taxes for workers will rise, wages will fall and welfare and other public services will shrivel while inequality will increase.
A Corbyn Government, if it was to attempt to increase living standards, increase public services and reduce inequality would also have to prevent the damage that Brexit would inflict. It would also have to fight the xenophobic demands that immigration be strangled. While much attention has focused on the damage to living standards arising from reductions in trade, reductions in immigration will have just the same effects, if not worse.
If young people do not come out to vote, as the pundits claim they might not do, and they are the key to a Labour victory as the pundits also claim, then the Tories will be leading us into Brexit and straight towards their deregulated 'free-market' utopia within a few days. One commentator has called it a new 'charge of the light-brigade' and he is right.
Either way, it will be the task of socialists and everyone roused during the election to continue to mobilise and organise the enormous energy and enthusiasm evoked by the promise of a different society. Already, the threat of a return to Blairite control of the Labour Party should be buried. Corbyn must remain leader and the process of creating a mass, active Labour party truly representative of its members and supporters should be the task of everyone who considers themselves left. The elections will signal the end of the Brexit phoney war and there will likely be no dress rehearsal allowed for building a workers' campaign to ensure we win the real one.

Here's what people are saying about our highly successful surfing lessons programs!
Thank you for the great lesson. I've taking lessons at 6 other locations around the world and you are the very best. I learned more than at all other locations combined. Surf and the weather was just perfect.
My husband truly enjoyed the surfing lesson he had with you. It made his bucket list and year. Glad the weather and surf was in our favor for this. Great success was because of your teaching. Thank you.
Thank you Surfguy for the awesome lesson for our group. The girls had a wonderful time with you and your assistant. To see them riding waves as early as their first was just plain fantastic. I was glad to get the referral and will make our next years plans to visit your program again next year. You are now on events calendar for visits to Florida.
George, it's just what a father dreams of; His sons joining him in the North Shore line up.. with his surfing buddies. No pictures, but my son told us yesterday that your surf camp (Finishing School) was just the right thing for Jackson and Alan. Paddling out, joining the line up, selecting a good wave — and riding. His buddies were amazed.
George, thank you for the great lesson. It helped with the secondary things I need to know for continued success in my surfing quest. Excellent teaching skills and patience.
George, the lesson for myself and daughter was excellent. The surf and location made this a great event for us while on vacation from the cold north. Great instruction on your behalf. Thank you for all you did.
Hey George, just wanted to let you know that Breann had the best time of her life, Her words. She said your lessons were the highlight of her vacation in Florida.
Surfing was more fun than playing in the sand with my cousins. It was awesome!
Our family had the greatest time at surf camp this year. My daughter told all her friends, so you'll be seeing a lot more for a camp next year. Awesome time learning to surf. Keep up the good work, and see you in 2015.
Your surf camps are fantastic. My kids thoroughly loved it. We'll be back next year for more fun in the sun. Awesome job by your staff.
George my son and husband had a great time with the surfing lesson on Sunday. Thank you.
Wanted to thank you again for a great time. Your pop-up training was critical to my success. Your assistant Andrew did a great job training me and coaching me though the points. He was excellent. I endend up riding a lot of waves. I didn't expect to be riding that many. I really learned a lot, and had a great time doing it. I'll be back for more lessons.
The surf camp for the day was a great time for all of our family. So fun. We will pass your name along to others for this opportunity. We all loved this, especially the kids. Thanks.
Thanks to Surfguys, my son had a great time learning the basics of surfing at surf camp. We will be back next year and bring his brother to have good surfing fun. Keep up the great work.
Thanks George and your team for a great Saturday. The lesson was perfect, the kids had a blast.
George, thank you for our lesson. I haven't surfed since 1969 and you explanation and style got me right back up and surfing. I didn't think it would be possible, but you proved me wrong. Great time and my grandkids will be so supprised to see me up on a board once again. Best wishes and continued success. I'll definately recommend you to all who ask.
Hi George, I just wanted to say Thank You for Alison's lesson a few weeks ago. She had a great time, and go a lot out of it, and really liked her instructor that you paired her with. Way to go! FYI- I recommended surfguyssurf this week. Thanks.
George and staff, thank you for a wonderful week at surf camp. We had a great time and learned a lot of good stuff.
George, thank you and Ben for a fantastic time. Our kids just loved the lesson that you gave. I was amazed at how easy you made it for them. I didn't even think that they would even stand on the board. It couldn't have been any better. I will reccommend you to others. Fantastic work. Thank you.
George, thank you for a great time in Costa Rica. It was awesome, and very educational. I truely appreciated all your wise instruction out in the water, not to mention the home cooked food. Thank you again for everything.
Surfguys, thank you. My daughter had a great time on her first lesson. Your operation is fantastic, and your staff members are very nice and helpful. She looks forward to her next lesson and couldn't wait to show her friends the pictures. Hope to see you all soon.
George, thank you for all your assistance with our lesson. We didn't even think we would be able to stand up as soon as we did. You and your staff are great and our first experience was fantastic. When we come back to Florida, we will look you up again. Thanks.
We made a change and tried another surf camp in Cocoa Beach last year. The program had to many students per instructor, they were way to few helpers working. We came back this year because you and your staff are very friendly, knowledgable, and the kids learn a great deal during the week. We won't make that mistake again! Surfguys is the place we found to learn surfing.
George, thank you from Iowa. Colby and Mackenzie had a great time and learned a bunch in their 2 hour lesson. You were very informative and your instructor was great! I think you created surfing monsters. I'll let you know when we come back, since there are no waves in Iowa.
Hi George! my daughter was asked what her favorite part of the vacation was (back in March), and she said SURFING!!! Thank you for givng her such an awesome memory!!
Thank you for a fun filled morning of surfing! You were an awesome instructor!!!
George, thank you for working with my sons. They had a great time, and I was quite surprised at how easily you made things go. They were even catching their own waves during the first lesson. You definately exceeded our expectations.
Great lesson George, I'll pass on your name and number to friends staying in Davenport now. I'll give your number and reccommend them to you. I might see you for 2 more next week. Regards.
It was an amazing time. Thanks again for my first surfing lesson. Great instruction and a beautiful day for surfing.
George, thank you for working with us. Your board selection made all the difference. My daughter, I and her best friend had a great time. Now we have the pictures to prove it to our friends that we actually stood up and rode nearly our first wave. We will definately reccommend you to anyone who asks.
Thank you for an enjoyable time. You and Devin made it so easy and fun. What a perfect day. My family had a great vacation and you made learning to surf very easy, and I can't believe we got to stand up on wave #1 and ride, ride, ride. You were very informative and that was the key. Best wishes and keep up the great work.
Thanks George and Charlie. Surfing is so much fun, I can't believe that I didn't try it when I lived in California. We'll be back soon for more lessons. Got to get my wife and other daughter motivated.
Hey George! Thank you so much for all your help this summer in your camp. I wouldn't have made it this far with surfing and my high school project with out you and your staff.
George, thank you for a fun, comprehensive surf lesson. Can't wait to see you next time I'm in Florida.
Thank you Surfguys. Our corporate picnic in Indialantic Fl was a smashing success with the addition of surfing. We had a great time riding the boards, and everyone stood up. You guys are the best! We'll do this again. Can't wait.
George you did wonderful with my family when we came for a lesson in Cape Canaveral, especially for my autistic son. I can't believe that you actually got him and me up on the board and gave us the thrill of a lifetime. I will truely recommend your teaching style to anyone here out west. Thank you very much.
Thanks staff my daughter absolutely loved the summer camp in Melbourne Beach. She's been a little tenative with me, but you guys hit a home run with her. See you next summer for sure.
It was great fun. Thanks for the memories.
George thank you for your time and your patience with my lesson in Cocoa Beach. For an older guy with no sports background, you explained it to even where I could understand what was needed. See you soon for another lesson. I'll keep training to be ready.
George, the SUP lesson really helped me make a decision on what board to get. Seeing the marine life was awesome, and it was so relaxing even we paddled 3.5 miles. I'll highly recommend you to my friends and family when they come to town.
George, thank you for your SUP instruction during your surf camp in Cocoa Beach. Haven't surfed in some years since the 60's, but this style of surfing was great. Thanks for all your expertise on how to use the paddle not only to catch the wave but motivate the board while surfing on it. Best week of surfing in a while. Have a great time doing what you do real well.
Thank you Surfguys. My grandchildren had a great time last year and this year at surf camp. They couldn't stop talking about it. I'll be signing them up next year. Have a great year till next summer.
George I can't believe that I was able to do as much in our first lesson. I'm excited about learning more and can't wait to tell all my friends at my high school reunion. The gift certificate was the best thing my wife has gotten me in a while. Let's do this again.
This couldn't have been more fun. I rode the surfboard on my first wave. You guys rock!!
Thanks gang. My daughter and her cousin came out and were a little tentative, but you made them feel comfortable and made learning easy. Your calm approach won them over and built their confidence. See you next summer.
George thank you for teaching my son. He had a wonderful time in Cocoa Beach. Even though we had a language barrier and I need to translate. He hasn't stopped talking about his new life experience. If we get back to Florida, we'll look you up. Thank you.
George since my son had a bad time in the water 4 years ago, he has not shown an interest in surfing and it's driving his father crazy. You made a change in his life and now he's very interested in surfing. He is now not as afraid as he was. Thanks for all your patience and guidance.
Frankie is a great instructor and a great addition to your programs this summer. Hope she's there next year.
My son really enjoyed his time at both camps he attended this year. I can't believe that he stood up on his first wave. Awesome!! We'll be signed up for next summer. Thanks for all your teaching skills and patience.
Charlie and Angela are great instructors and we hope they will be there next year. My kids had a great time in your program. My son has really enjoyed the past few years in your program, and how my daughter got started the correct way. Thanks.
George thank your for working with my son who has never participated in any sports for his 11yrs. He had a wonderful time in surf camp and would like to do it next year. He's excited about surfing, and we feel greatful that he doesn't want to spend as much time on the computer as he did before. See you and your staff next summer.
Thank you Surfguys. We had a great time learning to surf while visiting Florida. We learned proper style when it comes to surfing. If we can return to Florida, we will look you up for more surfing instruction. You made so much fun, but my arms got real tired. Thanks again.
I can't believe I stood up on my first wave. You guys are AWESOME!. My arms were a little sore from paddling and jumping up, but it was work it. Best thing I've ever done. I call you when I come back to Florida. Also your hot sauce is very addicting. Great product. I use it on everything.
George thank you for all your knowledge and passion for this sport. My wife and I had a wonderful time. I didn't think that she would be able to get up as quickly as she did. Your calm demeanor made her feel less nervous. Your explanation for popping up made the difference. Now I can say I'm a surfer, well sort of. Thanks again. Hope we can find time to do this again.
George I don't know how you do it, but my kids never wanted to go to any summer camps, but they were at the door barking "we've got to go to surf camp". They are hooked and I could not be anymore pleased with how eager they are to do something for summer. Keep it up.
George my son and I had a great time with you and your staff during summer surf camp. I learned a great deal as my son. Charlie did a great job with my son, and your style of teaching had me not only catching the wave, but turning and trimming down the line. You'll see us both next summer. Thanks for all your knowledge and teaching style. It works.
George my son had a great time learning to surf with your program. The surf was fun, and you explained what he needed to do very well. You made it easy for him to understand, and I was amazed how fast he got up. I didn't even know if he would stand on the board, and he was up on his first wave. Kudos for your expert work. He's showing the pictures to all his friends at home. Keep up the great work.
Thank you George for coming out and teaching my 4 year old son and his friends at his birthday party in Cape Canaveral. You were a hit! They all loved it, and I was surprised how well you worked with them. You have great patience, and a natural ability to teach. Thanks for your service. I'll highly recommend you to my friends.
Surfguys is the right place, and I'm glad that they called back promptly and professionaly. My lesson was great, and all questions that I could ask were answered. My instructor was very easy to work with and made me feel right at home. Best lesson. I highly recommend calling them. I expectations were gone well far beyond. Very expert and professional.

Roma is a settlement under the  Manonyane Community Council in the Maseru District of Lesotho, some 34 kilometers southeast of Maseru, the capital of Lesotho. The Roma valley is broad and fertile, and is surrounded by sandstone cliffs topped to the East by basalt mountains which provide magnificent scenery.

History
Founded in 1862 by Roman Catholic missionaries in the valley known as Tloutle, Roma now has three seminaries and various novitiates, and they began the institution that became the National University of Lesotho. The surrounding area has become quite densely populated and is a significant residential area, recently gaining street lights on the main road.  There are many dinosaur footprints in the area, some within the National University of Lesotho, and others on Roma Plateau.

Some years ago the US Peace Corps ran its training programmes in Roma, and a local steep prominent mountain, Makhetha, is still referred to as Peace Corps Mountain, as an ascent was traditionally part of their programme.

Education
There are a number of schools situated around Roma, including three high schools. Christ the King High School, a boys school, was initially an early teacher training college, set up by the Marist Brothers, and from 1937 was run by the Brothers of The Sacred Heart.  In 1961 CKHS became a high school only. Nearby there is St. Marys High School, which is a girls school, started by the Holy Family Sisters. The third is the NUL International School, situated within the university campus.

Healthcare
There is a hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, Roma, which is run by a Board under the Archbishop of Maseru, and was opened in 1937.  Attached is the Roma College of Nursing, which offers diplomas in Nursing and Midwifery.  The hospital services a number of Health Centres in the surrounding Roma Health Area, which has about 114,000 inhabitants, 6% of Lesotho's population, and about twice the area of Maseru Health Area.

Teacher of the Year Finalist 2019: Narciso Moquete of SAND School
Narciso Moquete was born in Caguas, Puerto Rico. He is one of six siblings. He came to live in the Frog Hollow section of the city of Hartford, CT when he was four years old. He is proud to say he is a product of the Hartford Public Schools system. Narciso attended Kindergarten to fifth grade at Dominic F. Burns School. After completing his sixth grade year at Noah Webster School, Narciso went on to Quirk Middle School. Upon graduating from Hartford Public High School, he enrolled at Central Connecticut State University to pursue a teaching degree. Narciso later went on to earn his reading specialist certification from CCSU. He is the first of his family to earn a Master's degree.
While at CCSU, Narciso gained membership in the Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Incorporated; a community service based organization that strives to uplift the Latino Community. In accordance with the ideals of his Fraternity, he participated in community service efforts including Habitat For Humanity, soup kitchens, neighborhood clean-up efforts, back to school drives as well as community events such as the Latino Expo. Furthermore, during his collegiate career Narciso became a fellow of the Connecticut Writing Project at Central Connecticut State University. As part of his fellowship, he delivered a professional development workshop on "How to teach students how to Rap like a hip hop artist". This workshop was recorded and published in the Hartford Courant. Narciso is also an active member of the Connecticut Reading Association and regularly attends the Annual Literacy Essential Conference at CCSU. One day, while studying at CCSU's Burritt Library, Narciso was inspired to pursue a teaching career as a result of a heartfelt discussion with his dear friend and fellow fraternity brother, Gerardo Heredia (who is now Principal of SAND School.)
Narciso spent 8 years teaching at M.D. Fox Elementary School where he crafted and created a rap song for the Success For All reading program at a recording studio with four of his students. This song was played over the intercom while students transitioned for S.F.A. Narciso is proud to say he still keeps the recording and plays it for students even today. After 8 years at Expeditionary Learning Academy at Moylan School, Narciso was recruited by principal Heredia to come and teach at SAND School.
Narciso spends his free time on home visits, meeting with his students and parents in their homes to collaborate with families on ways to be successful in the classroom. He has been known to attend student birthday parties and backyard barbeques to promote the school home connection. Narciso also finds time to volunteer his time with his children's little league baseball team.
Narciso, was a Hartford resident until his marriage. He now lives in Farmington with his wife, Berayda and their two children.

Semicolon tattoo: Here's what it means and why it matters.
One small character, one big purpose.
Laura Willard
Have you seen anyone with a semicolon tattoo like this?

If not, you may not be looking close enough. They're popping up...
Semicolon tattoo, pictured on ankle. Photo by The Semicolon Tattoo Project.
...everywhere.

That's right: the semicolon. It's a tattoo that has gained popularity in recent years, but unlike other random or mystifying trends, this one has a serious meaning behind it. (And no, it's not just the mark of a really committed grammar nerd.)
The semicolon tattoo represents mental health struggles and the importance of suicide prevention.
My co-worker Parker's photo of her own semicolon tattoo.
Project Semicolon was born from a social media movement in 2013.
They describe themselves as a "movement dedicated to presenting hope and love to those who are struggling with depression, suicide, addiction, and self-injury. Project Semicolon exists to encourage, love, and inspire."
But why a semicolon?
"A semicolon is used when an author could've chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life."
Originally created as a day where people were encouraged to draw a semicolon on their bodies and photograph it, it quickly grew into something greater and more permanent. Today, people all over the world are tattooing the mark as a reminder of their struggle, victory, and survival.
Photos by The Semicolon Tattoo Project.
I spoke with Jenn Brown and Jeremy Jaramillo of The Semicolon Tattoo Project, an organization inspired by the semicolon movement. Along with some friends, Jenn and Jeremy saw an opportunity to both help the community and reduce the stigma around mental illness.
In 2012, over 43 million Americans dealt with a mental illness. Mental illness is not uncommon, yet there is a stigma around it that prevents a lot of people from talking about it — and that's a barrier to getting help.
More conversations that lead to less stigma? Yes please.
"[The tattoo] is a conversation starter," explains Jenn. "People ask what it is and we get to tell them the purpose."
"I think if you see someone's tattoo that you're interested in, that's fair game to start a conversation with someone you don't know," adds Jeremy. "It provides a great opportunity to talk. Tattoos are interesting — marks we put on our bodies that are important to us."
A woman getting a semicolon tattoo at last year's event. Photo by The Semicolon Tattoo Project.
In 2014, The Semicolon Tattoo Project held an event at several tattoo shops where people could get a semicolon tattoo for a flat rate. "That money was a fundraiser for our crisis center," said Jenn. In total, over 400 people received semicolon tattoos in one day. Even better, what began as a local event has spread far and wide, and people all over the world are getting semicolon tattoos.
And it's not just about the conversation — it's about providing tangible support and help too.
Jenn and Jeremy work with the Agora Crisis Center. Founded in 1970, it's one of the oldest crisis centers in the country. Through The Semicolon Tattoo Project, they've been able to connect even more people with the help they need during times of crisis. (If you need someone to talk to, scroll to the end of the article for the center's contact information.)
So next time you see this small punctuation tattoo, remember the words of Upworthy writer Parker Molloy:
"I recently decided to get a semicolon tattoo. Not because it's trendy (though, it certainly seems to be at the moment), but because it's a reminder of the things I've overcome in my life. I've dealt with anxiety, depression, and gender dysphoria for the better part of my life, and at times, that led me down a path that included self-harm and suicide attempts.
But here I am, years later, finally fitting the pieces of my life together in a way I never thought they could before. The semicolon (and the message that goes along with it) is a reminder that I've faced dark times, but I'm still here."
No matter how we get there, the end result is so important: help and support for more people to also be able to say " I'm still here."

        Constructor to call on derived classes when the derived class has an [Export] constructor.
        <remarks>
          <para>This constructor should be called by derived classes when they are initialized using an [Export] attribute. The argument value is ignore, typically the chaining would look like this:</para>
          <example>

public class MyClass : BaseClass {
    [Export ("initWithFoo:")]
    public MyClass (string foo) : base (NSObjectFlag.Empty)
    {
        ...

        <param name="handle">Pointer (handle) to the unmanaged object.</param>
        A constructor used when creating managed representations of unmanaged objects;  Called by the runtime.
        <remarks>
          <para>This constructor is invoked by the runtime infrastructure (<see cref="M:MonoMac.ObjCRuntime.GetNSObject (System.IntPtr)" />) to create a new managed representation for a pointer to an unmanaged Objective-C object.    You should not invoke this method directly, instead you should call the GetNSObject method as it will prevent two instances of a managed object to point to the same native object.</para>

New Cisco ASA with FirePOWER Services next-generation firewalls deliver integrated threat defense, a low TCO, and simplified security management.
SMBs and distributed enterprises are high-value targets for cyber criminals. They face costly threats that jeopardize corporate secrets, intellectual property, and customer data. And they've become an unknowing entry point for attacks against larger organizations they sell to, partner with, and buy from. These factors create a need for advanced threat defense.
SMBs and distributed enterprises have been underserved by inferior next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) and unified threat management (UTM) systems. Cisco offers advanced threat defense in a range of form factors specifically designed for your unique needs.
Application Visibility and Control (AVC) supports more than 3000 application-layer and risk-based controls. For example, you can make social media applications read-only to enforce policies and enable compliance with regulations like Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and HIPAA.
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client features always-on, application-level VPN. In addition, Cisco ASA supports Cisco AnyConnect mobile and native Android and iOS VPN clients.
NGIPS delivers complete contextual awareness, full visibility, and control of users, devices, applications, and content, to provide industry-leading threat prevention.
Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) provides an industry-leading ability to discover, understand, stop, and remediate malware and emerging threats missed by other security layers.
Reputation-based URL filtering blocks high-risk web addresses. Cisco URL filtering accurately analyzes URLs and associates a reputation score for each one, helping users avoid high-risk web addresses.
Small desktop form factors are appropriately sized and affordably priced for smaller and midsized company budgets.
New Cisco NGFW models for SMBs provide the same superior threat protection technologies as larger Cisco ASA 5500-X Series NGFWs, which achieved the highest security efficacy rating in the NSS Labs 2014 Next-Generation Firewall Security Value Map.
With exceptional visibility and control and automatic prioritization of threats, false-positive alerts that would otherwise overwhelm staff time can be managed efficiently. The result is reduced manpower effort, and a low total cost of ownership.
A desktop model with an integrated wireless access point is available to reduce cost and complexity of managing multiple devices in your network.
A ruggedized model has also been designed for industrial or critical infrastructure applications. It features an extended operating temperature range and flexible deployment options, including desktop, wall mount, din rail, or rack mount.
Integrated on-device management is included for single-instance deployments.
Centralized management, with Cisco FireSIGHT Management System, is available as a virtualized or physical appliance.
Detailed reporting on indicators of compromise and threats are available, regardless of management option.
