What is PPTP and how does it work? The Beginners Guide to VPN.
Because of low level of encryption, PPTP is one of the fastest VPN protocols and people prefer it while unblocking geo-restricted contents like Hulu, BBC and others. PPTP is a decades-old VPN protocol and it is not as secured as other protocols available today.
The PPTP VPN Protocol Is Not Secure Try, These Alternatives Instead.
PPTP is one of the easiest types of VPN to set up and comes pre-installed on most Windows, Mac OSX, Android, and iOS devices. Not only is it easier, its faster than other built-in protocols like L2TP/IPSec, SSTP, and IKEv2.
The Android platform has an outstanding built-in VPN connection tool that allows you to connect to PPTP VPNS, L2TP VPNs, L2TP/IPSec PSK VPNs, and L2TP/IPSec CRT VPNs. This is a walkthrough of how Android users can set up and connect to a VPN with the help of a PPTP VPN.

Which is the Best VPN Protocol? PPTP vs. OpenVPN vs. L2TP/IPsec vs. SSTP.
If you have to use another protocol on Windows, SSTP is the ideal one to choose. If only L2TP/IPsec or PPTP are available, use L2TP/IPsec. Avoid PPTP if possible unless you absolutely have to connect to a VPN server that only allows that ancient protocol.
VPN Protocol Comparison: PPTP vs SSTP vs OpenVPN vs L2TP vs IKEv2.
If PPTP was Microsofts first attempt at creating a secure, reliable VPN protocol, then SSTP is the newer, better version. First seen in Windows Vista SP1, Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol uses SSL 3.0 and provides much higher levels of security than PPTP.


Last Sunday, May 4, 2014, was the second annual SWE End of the Year Brunch. The brunch's purpose is to take a nice break from finals, enjoy a nice meal with fellow members, and commemorate notable members of the organization. The event gives the members a recap of the year and a reminder of all the hard work and great accomplishments made.
The event was beautifully planned by the 2013-2014 executive members and was held in the notorious Montpelier Room at James Madison University. Present were National SWE members Colleen Layman (who generously helped sponsored the event) and Mary Perkinson. Members of all different graduating classes were there, five who are graduating this coming Saturday.
The event included a slideshow displaying photos from all the events held this year. Photos included group pictures taken at the Region E Conference at Virginia Tech, to engaging action shots during the EYH Conference in Memorial Hall. The food served was deliciously cooked breakfast food: fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, breakfast sausage, biscuits, and herb potatoes. The room was filled with chatter and laughter.
The executive members started by recapping the year. It was mentioned that this past year was the year that SWE held the most events, which is a great step forward! This past year also consisted of regularly-held meetings. A fun and competitive incentive for members to attend more meetings, the executive held a point system and designated a certain amount of points for each event. Melissa Bernazani and Winifred Opoku had the most amount of points, attending the most and second most amount of meetings and events, respectively. The executive board also announced the new positions for the upcoming 2014-2015 year. Senior Mallory Draeger passes her duties to former Vice President, Genna D'Antonio, who also has been with SWE back in the early roots. Towards the end, the members celebrated the graduating seniors, who will be graduating in the College of Integrated Science and Engineering this Saturday, May 10, 2014.

YCC funds West Campus storage, sustainability
Gavan Gideon 12:00 am, Feb 21, 2011
Student projects designed to reduce financial and environmental waste will be funded through the Yale College Council's first-ever 10K Initiative.
After polling the student body last semester, the YCC chose two proposals — one to reduce plastic waste from bottled water and another to resell some items from Spring Salvage to students in the fall — to receive 10K Initative funding, which comes from the council's budget. YCC also added its own plan to expand summer storage to West Campus to the 10K Initiative, which replaced the 5K Initiative in a new effort to accommodate more proposals, YCC Treasurer Brandon Levin '13 said.
"Fundamentally, they are all about saving students money and reducing waste," YCC President Jeff Gordon '12 said of the projects. "They are sustainability initiatives with real financial payoffs."
Yale's West Campus figures prominently into a newly funded project not proposed to students in the YCC's survey last semester: YCC Summer Storage. Gordon said residential college masters and students have engaged in "huge debates" in previous years about summer storage arrangements in the colleges, pushing some students to make alternate plans.
"As you can see in May, when there's stuff all over the street and people are paying lots of money to have things stored…it's clear that there could be a major improvement if we worked to address this," Gordon said.
He said students will be able to store personal belongings at West Campus over the summer for a small fee. Though Levin said the YCC has yet to finalize the details, he added that the council will facilitate depositing and retrieving furniture.
Students chose the "Trash to Treasure Initiative" from a group of four projects in a survey last semester. Designed to reduce the amount of waste produced as students move out of dormitories at the end of the school year, Trash to Treasure will collect useful unclaimed items from Spring Salvage bins and store them at West Campus facilities over the summer, Levin said. The items will then be resold to students by YCC at a Campus Yard Sale in the fall. Proceeds from the sale will go to charity, Levin added.
The second student-selected program is a "Hydrating Stations Initiative." The program will offer free rental to student organizations of hydration stations that can be attached to any water spigot and provide unlimited chilled and filtered water around campus, said Sam Bendinelli '13, who chairs the undergraduate organization "Think Outside the Bottle." Bendinelli's group will administer the rental of hydration stations, which are engineered by Yale Dining to reduce plastic waste.
"Basically, we've been working to try to make as many events on campus as bottled-water free as possible," Bendinelli said of the group's goal.
The YCC received about twenty proposals last semester, and sent the projects to an exploratory committee assembled by the council to narrow the options. Other proposals included plans to improve cell phone reception in residential college basements and an updated online laundry notification system.
The first 5K Initiative funds were awarded in 2008, when YCC used the money to found the Bass DVD Library.

A nurse working in a nursing home in Cardiff Bay decided to entertain herself by having two patients who suffer from dementia kiss each other while she posted it on Snapchat, laughing hysterically.
23-year-old Paris Roberts was bored one day while at work and instructed two elderly dementia patients to kiss as she filmed the 10-second recording and posted it on the social media site, Snapchat.
When the incident was discovered Ms. Roberts resigned from the nursing home that claims to have the "very well trained and caring staff" and the "highest quality care standards."
A nurses' aide was with Roberts when the incident occurred and she told the NMC that Roberts encouraged the elderly residents to kiss. They kissed several times.
The director of nursing for the facility said Roberts was, "acting for her own amusement".
"She has shown no insight or remorse choosing to deflect the blame onto others"
During a disciplinary hearing, the NMC decided that Roberts was guilty of misconduct. Ms. Roberts was not present at the hearing.
The NMC said, "We considered that Miss Roberts' conduct demonstrated a serious lapse in judgment in encouraging the patients to kiss and then allowing a colleague to make a recording which was then transmitted via a social media app."
"She failed to safeguard the patients and treat them with the dignity and respect they were entitled to."
"She was in a position of authority as the registered nurse and as the nurse in charge with the healthcare assistants being her junior colleagues."
"She had a responsibility to set an example, yet instead she used her authority in an attempt to cover up her part in the incident."


Roger Peterson started in the screen printing business in 1972 after graduating from Cal State Long Beach with a degree in Art/Illustration.
In 1974 he bought the Adventure Designs Company and name. It started as a Surf T-shirt mail order line, and then a retail brand for large nationwide retailers.
Over the last 12 years Adventure Designs has evolved into a Cowboy Action Shooting retail and mail order line specializing in custom order and event T-shirts and sportswear.
After all these years it is still a creative and rewarding experience to service our many customers.

Peaceful possibilities: On J&K local body polls
The Editorial covers GS paper 2 [Important aspects of governance, transparency and accountability.]
The coming local body elections in Jammu and Kashmir could be an opportunity to open a new political dialogue in the Union Territory, particularly on the question of restoring its statehood.
In the first democratic exercise since the Centre revoked(cancelled) J&K's special status and reorganised it into two UTs in August 2019, Panchayati Raj elections are scheduled over eight phases beginning November 28.
What is the Background?
For the first time, this part of India will have the entire 73rd Constitutional Amendment coming into operation.
In October, the UT administration amended the Panchayati Raj Act, providing for District Development Councils (DDC) in each district, and establishing the three-tier PR structure.
How are the elections being held?
Alongside the election of 280 DDC members, by-elections for around 12,000 panchayat seats and over 230 urban body seats will also take place.
Peaceful, participatory election in a troubled region can be the most forceful demonstration of the resilience of Indian democracy.
It is for this reason that elections are a target for those who believe that only violence can achieve popular aspirations in Kashmir.
Four JeM militants who were planning a terror attack in the Valley to disrupt the elections and sow chaos (disturbance) were neutralised last week.
How has it been seen as a step towards meaningful democracy?
A violence-free election is necessary, but not sufficient for a vibrant democracy.
The BJP's strident (strict) political posturing, portraying(showing) all its political opponents as anti-national and separatist might be electorally useful for it in the Jammu region but is harmful for the national integration that it professes.
When such statements come from the Home Minister of India, it is even more counterproductive.
Choices before the people of J&K must not be framed as a binary of macabre (horrible) violence of Islamist separatism and dehumanising submission of their cultural identity to authoritarian ultranationalism.
There are other viable possibilities for J&K's progressive, respectful and accommodative association with the rest of India, which preserve national integrity and honour the region's identity.
A coalition of regional parties including the PDP and the National Conference, once the BJP's allies, and the CPI (M), under the banner of People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration, has made the restoration of J&K's special status and its statehood central to its politics.
The alliance leaders have complained about restrictions on their campaigning. The Congress, which was in touch with the alliance earlier, has now snapped (cut) its ties with it.
The government must encourage the widest voter participation, the clearest route to this being through an unrestrained and freewheeling campaign that mobilises and expresses the whole range of public opinion.
All that might be said would not be acceptable or desirable. But meaningful dialogue is essential, and elections are the best way to open up peaceful possibilities.
Elections in J&K can lead to participatory politics and meaningful dialogue.

Ozone has always been used as a disinfectant and disease treatment ever since it was discovered. It is often cited to relieve pain. Some use it to help bring back energy into their bodies. To some, it helps lift anxiety off of their system. Impressively, research has shown that it can kill off 99% of harmful pathogenic organisms in 10 seconds—3,500 times faster than chlorine. But how exactly can these 3 oxygen atoms help the body? And curiously, cancer?
An ozone therapy stimulates the immune system to disrupt the unhealthy processes in the body. In doing so, it stops the growth and spread of harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa by flushing out the infected cells. It is said to prevent Lyme disease, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, Alzheimer's, heart attacks, degenerative diseases, and more.
But what's astounding is that research has shown that ozone therapy can help in cancer treatments. The concept is simple. According to Nobel-prize winning scientist Otto Warburg, cancer cells come from cells that are deprived of oxygen by 40%. The oxygen deprivation forces cells to adapt and gets energy elsewhere. In effect, cells become vulnerable to cancer. So in reversing this, the body must be treated with oxygen. But unlike oxygen, ozone selectively targets cancer cells. This is why facilities around the world are devoted to ozone therapy alone.
For more information about ozone therapy , speak to a doctor about the treatment or contact Akesis here.


Anything new for self-hosted email marketing software?
I've been using Interspire (http://www.interspire.com/emailmarketer/) for a long time, but their lack of innovation in their features makes me want to see if there are more software that can do the same job that Interspire.
None of them are responsive or have features for social networks. I really liked Active Monitor, but their onsite solution is not longer available.
What other options do I have? I have around 20 clients, but they are moving towards services like Mailchimp, so I need to act fast.
Thanks in advance for any help about this.
If your newsletter is responsive the html editor of nuevomailer will handle it, save it and send it fine.
As for social sharing you will find built-in buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google plus. These are available in the html editor and easy to customize or change the graphics if needed.
Thank you for your suggestion, but it seems that they only offer their software as a service and I'm looking for self hosted solution because we have a pool of IPs to deliver our campaigns and a subsection of them are certified by Return Path.


Well...it doesn't get worse than this. We've hit the bottom of the barrel, people. I'm...I'm not even sure to begin with these stations. Let's just head down the line.
The platform at Sutherland Road.
Okay, I have four stations to talk about, except none of them have anything! So...yeah, I have no idea how I'll be able to write this review. But yeah, these four stations literally have nothing. Just...asphalt. Sutherland Road has some nice trees on the outbound platform, I guess.
And Chiswick Road is more of the same. I would say that they should put benches on the inbound platforms, but you can't, because they're so narrow! There's no room! When a train goes by, it feels like it could graze you!
The platform at Chestnut Hill Ave.
Okay, here's Chestnut Hill Ave - looks identical to the other ones, right? WRONG. This station has the most narrow platforms I've ever seen at a train station. The picture is pretty deceiving of this, since the outbound side gets wider by the intersection, but as you go further down, the platform is just the yellow line. Now isn't that funny? Passengers aren't supposed to stand on the yellow line, yet here, there's nowhere else to stand!
Moving on to South Street.
Anddddd...yeah, South Street is basically the same as the other ones. So, what else is there to say about these horrible stations? Uh...well, a few of them still have service alerts hanging up from 2012! Great to see that the B is up-to-date! Finally, I figured I'd mention the track connection between Chestnut Hill Ave and Cleveland Circle/Reservoir - it's always cool to see trains running down there.
Ridership: These are some of the lowest-ridership stops on the B: Sutherland Road gets 856 riders per day, Chiswick Road gets 615, Chestnut Hill Ave gets 626, and South Street gets 214 (the least-used station on the B and the fourth least-used on the whole MBTA).
Cons: Can these even be considered "stations"? I mean, the MBTA website does, but THAT SEEMS PRETTY DUBIOUS TO ME. They literally have nothing at all. I'm basically reviewing strips of asphalt here! Wonderful!
Nearby and Noteworthy: It's mostly apartments out here, but you'll find a bit of retail in little pockets along Comm Ave.
These are definitely the WORST stations on the Green Line. Yes, the E Line street-running stops are bad, but at least they have T symbols, and some have shelters! Plus, they're on wide sidewalks! I mean, with these stations, if you take a step backward a car will run you over, and if you take a step forward a train will run you over! Yeah, these stations are most definitely deserving of their bottom-of-the-barrel scores.
Now keep in mind, that there were a few other stations on this stretch that used to exist and had even lower ridership, and about the same level of "station infrastructure". If you think South Street is pathetic, those were even worse. No function but to hold up service.
And they are dangerous! I get on at Chestnut Hill and you feel very vulnerable standing with such a tiny space between a speeding train and speeding traffic.
Use Cleveland Circle or Resivor, not the horrible Chestnut Hill Ave that got a 1!

God of War: Ragnarok – Release Date, Story, And News!
Bobby Segura | Published On: January 1, 2023 January 1, 2023
There was a time when 2D games were the hype! The 2D gaming era included games like Computer Space, Pong, Fonz, Breakout, etc. 3D gaming started around 1981.
Nowadays, 3D games have changed a lot. The present 3D games have brought a new world of gaming to life. Games like Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, have changed the way people look towards games.
But one gaming series in specific has brought a new and unique story to the table. This gaming series is God of War. The story of God of War is divided into 2 parts. The Greek Mythology and the Norse Mythology. Each section preserves and continues the previous story while also bringing up new characters and bosses to the games.
The storyline, the graphics, the ambiance, and the gameplay in this game is what attract people towards it. Today we will be specifically looking into the next part of this series, God of War: Ragnarok.
God of War: Ragnarok – Release Date
God of War: Ragnarok Trailer
God of War: Ragnarok – Rumors, News and Leaks
Every Character In God of War: Ragnarok
Will God of War Ragnarok Be On PS4?
Will There Be A PC Version?
Is God of War Ragnarok A PS5 Exclusive?
Who Is Directing God of War Ragnarok?
My Final Verdict:
#1 – Is Thor in God of War Ragnarok?
#2 – Is God of War Ragnarok the last Norse game?
#3 – Can Kratos beat Thor?
#4 – Can Kratos pick up Mjolnir?
#5 – Who is the Norse god of war?
#6 – Can Norse gods be killed?
#7 – Is Tyr stronger than Odin?
#8 – Do Magni and Modi survive Ragnarok?
#9 – Who is the strongest Asgardian?
#10 – Is Tyr Odin's son?
God of War: Ragnarok belongs to Norse Mythology. The Greek Mythology ended with the end of God of War 3, in which Kratos destroyed the world with a flood.
The game has not been released yet. But we will be looking into the storyline that Playstation Blog has released and some other conversations that Devs had with various reporters/content creators, that have revealed some interesting information.
First, we will look at the story of God of War's previous release. It is known as God of War 4 or God of War 2018. At the start of God of War, Kratos is shown living in the world of Norse Gods.
This world is harsh, and Kratos, as well as his son Atreus, have to fight to survive in this world. They have to fight against the Gods as well as some unknown foes.
With all that going, he also has to teach his son. Until now, Kratos has been a blood and power-thirsty man, but having a son has changed him.
He tries to train his son as well as strengthen his relationship with him, and he succeeds to some extent. But he does not want his son to walk the same path and tries to amend the shortcomings of his past.
In his run, he kills the son of Freya, Baldur. Freya is a witch who helped Kratos on many occasions. Baldur tries to confront them and also tries to kill Freya in the reaction of which Kratos had to kill him.
"The Cycle Ends Here, We Must Be Better Than This"
Even though Kratos does it to save her, she swears to take revenge for her son. Kratos tells his son Atreus about his past and tells him that mistakes should not be repeated again.
Atreus also has the power to see some part of the future. In the end, it is seen that Atreus sees a premonition that Ragnarok will occur at the end of Fimbulwinter.
Now looking into the released information about God of War: Ragnarok. The story starts about a few years later. The days have become even more challenging because of the cold.
Fimbulwinter is about to end. Atreus, who has become a young man, wants to learn more about himself. He also wants to know about his ancestors. He wants to understand his position as Loki.
However, Kratos, who has suffered a lot on this path, doesn't want him to indulge in these things. On these challenging days, both of them have to choose some path or find a new way of dealing with this.
They decide to look for the truth. They have to do it before Thor comes to confront them. During all this, they still have to deal with Freya, who wants to take revenge for her son.
This is the story released by Santa Monica Studio, but this is gonna be the last part of the Norse Saga in the God of War Series. The creators say that they didn't want to extend the story for no reason.
But on other hand, Santa Monica has also stated that the Director of God of War 2018 or God of War 4 "Cory Barlog" is working on a new project.
Now I don't know if you know about this but when God of War 2018 was in the early development stages Cory said in a show that he had Egpytion setting in mind before the Norse, and after some time there was a leaked Deleted scene which showed us Kratos coming out of a cave and watching over an ancient Egyptian city.
And in GOW 2018 we saw a Mural that shows us Tyr (The Norse God of War) traveling to other Mythologies which were Greek, Egyptian, Nordic, and Japanese.
Now to the point what I am trying to say here is, that Cory Barlog is working on some other Mythology or World that we will travel to next, with the help of Tyr or with some other thing and that we still need to figure out when the God of War: Ragnarok comes out. (Now this is what I think).

There is no specified God of War Ragnarok release date. Only the year has been confirmed up till now. It will be released in 2022.
The previous date that was teased by Santa Monica Studio was 2021, but later it was changed to 2022. The reason provided by creators is that for it to be released on PS4 and PS5, it still needs time.
When the date was extended, fans did get disappointed. But listening to the reasoning of the creators, most people understood it, and the creators were supported.
No specific time next year can be specified for the release. Keeping in mind the release date of God of War 2018, which was April. It is believed that it might be released around its anniversary. But it can also be released in the Fall or Summer of 2022.
This information regarding the God of War: Ragnarok release date is a relief for the God of War Fans. After all, it has been a long wait.
The God of War Ragnarok trailer + gameplay video was released on the official channel of Playstation on 9th September 2021. This is a 3minute trailer video that signifies why people like this game and its story.
The trailer starts by showing us the winter at its peak. Kratos is sitting in a cave, sharpening his weapons on fire. Suddenly he hears someone approaching the cave. His son appears carrying a deer on his shoulders.
In this scene, we see two things. One thing is that Kratos is as conscious of his surroundings as always and the other that his son has become a young lad. Atreus has learned how to fight as he hunted a deer down on his own.
In the next scene, Atreus and Kratos are discussing who Loki is. Loki was the name given by his mother (Faye) to him, and Atreus wants to know more about Loki.
To find answers, they journey out. While traveling, they have to fight Freya, who is seeking revenge for his son. Soon they decide to take the help of the Norse God of War, Tyr.
They came to know Odin tried to kill him. But he never found his body. This brings them to the conclusion that he might be alive.
On the way, they have to fight different beasts and creatures. Then comes the scene where they find Tyr, at least. They ask for his help to take down Odin.
Also in the trailer, the hammer of Thor is shown, and he talks to Kratos and Atreus in such a way that shows his bloodthirst. Now Kratos has to protect his son while fighting Thor.
The God of War Ragnarok trailer has proved that the fighting mechanics and use of weapons will be on a whole new level. Now we just have to wait for the release!

Some rumors and leaks have been going around the community for quite a long time. Rumors like Atreus learning about his powers as Loki.
In Norse Mythology, Loki has always been a mischievous and throne-loving God. He shape-shifts as well. It is believed that his powers might be explored more in the God of War Ragnarok.
As far as the trailer goes, it has been seen that Atreus, or so named Loki, can be seen riding a blue Antilop kinda animal. He is fighting while riding on it. It is considered to be one of the powers of Atreus.
One piece of information that was seen at the end of God of War 2018 was the true identity of Loki. Atreus, whose real name is Loki, is a half God, half-giant. Most people expect to know about the past of Faye, the mother of Atreus. Her past might be the only way to know more about Loki.
One more piece of news that has been confirmed by the authorities is that God of War Ragnarok PS4 and PS5 versions will come. Before this, the PS4 community was not happy with the decision of the game being available to only PS5 users.
Seeing the community response, it was decided to add the God of War Ragnarok PS4 version as well. Users might face one more issue here, and that is the prices for the game on PS4 and PS5 might be different. Users might have to pay an extra $10 for PS5.
Another piece of information that has been confirmed is that all the Nine Realms will be available in this game. Before this, in GOW 2018, only six realms were available to access.
The game will look deeply into the Ragnarok event, which is an ancient prophecy by Jötunn Gróa. This prophecy mainly believes that all the Gods were destroyed when the time of Ragnarok occurred.
At that time, all things were destroyed by natural disasters, and only two people survived, Lif and Lifthrasir. They created human civilization
The characters that have been shown in the trailer up till now are the following:
The main character in all the parts of God of War up till now. Being the main character, he has changed a lot.
Before the God of War 2018, he has always been shown as a bloodthirsty and power-thirsty person. He would even kill gods in his lust for power. This intense fighting made him what he is now "A Monster", but still, he fought for more power.
In a battle with the Barbarian King, he made a blood oath with the Greek God of War, Ares. But after some, he was tricked by Ares and killed his own daughter and wife with his own hands, which he got mad and later Kratos killed him and became the God of War.
For most of the Greek Mythology, Kratos was always on a rampage, but the God of War 2018 started a whole new chapter in Kratos' life. This started Norse Mythology.
Here we start with Kratos having his second wife and a son. Soon his wife died, and he had to fulfill her last wish, which was to put the ashes of her body on the tallest mountain in all the nine realms.
His character has changed completely in the Norse Saga. He has now become a responsible father. He taught his son the basics but doesn't want to teach other horrible things.
Having a son made him change so much that he even left his Blades of Chaos. He instead uses an Axe coated with Vanir magic which was originally his wife's Faye.
Loki or Atreus
The son of Kratos. He was named Loki by his mother, but Kratos changed his name to Atreus, (Atreus was a brave Spartan warrior). Soon we realize that there is a reason for his mother naming him Loki.
The truth comes out to be that he is a half-god, half-giant. Atreus wants to know more about himself. So he and his father set out on a journey to find answers. On their way, they fight monsters and people who try to kill them.
Vanir goddess Freya is a witch who first met Kratos and Atreus when they helped her heal a boar that they had shot.
After that, Freya tries to help them many times but Kratos, who does not trust in god's tries to keep away from her. She even helped him cure the illness that Atreus was struck with.
But the relation between Freya and Kratos became worse when Kratos killed her son Baldur because he tried to kill her. Even though Kratos helped her, still he ended up making Freya his enemy.
In the God of War Ragnarok, it is seen that Freya tries to attack Kratos while on their way. On his son's dead body, she swears to take revenge for him.
Odin is the father of all gods. He is also the ruler of Asgard. There have not been any appearances of him in the Norse Saga of God of War. We have heard many tails of Odin from the Mimir and many other lures, but so far we have not seen a single statue of him.
It is expected that he might be seen in the God of War Ragnarok, and I highly agree with this, I think he will make an appearance but we will have to see what kind of it will be.
Son of Odin, also known as the God of Thunder. He carries a hammer with which he strikes lightning (Many of you must be familiar with him).
He had two children Magni and Modi who were killed by Kratos and Atreus (In GOW 2018). The appearance of Thor in the trailer proves that the fight between Kratos and Thor will take place, just like we have seen the GOW 2018 end credits scene.
Tyr is the half-brother of Thor (as in the Mythology). He was the previous God of War in the Norse lands. Due to his actions, he was taken down by Odin All-Father himself.
As we have seen in the trailer both Kratos and Atreus found him in a locked dungeon. It is expected that he might help Kratos to fight Odin, or maybe completely escape the Norse Land.
Angrboda
At the end of the trailer, you might wonder who she is. Well, the only information officially released about her is that she is the last giant alive.
But if we look into the Norse Mythology, Angrboda is the wife of Loki and the mother of Jormungandr (The World Serpent), Fenrir (Destined to Kill the Gods), Hel (The Queen of Hell in the Norse).
Now we don't know how Santa Monica will interpret this character in the game but one thing is clear it will be an interesting thing to discover.
I have tried to discuss the most important characters but there are some others that I wasn't able to discuss here like the Dwarf Brothers, also we have seen some mysterious new characters in the Ragnarok trailer, which we don't know of. So we have to wait for more information about these characters.
When for the first time, the developers announced that they will be releasing a game, the fans raised the question. On what platforms will this game be released?
They replied that it would only be released on PS5. After that, they will release it on other platforms.
To be honest, this didn't affect the PC users that much. The reason is that almost all God of War games were officially released on the Playstation. So PC users didn't have any expectations from the start.
The main community that didn't like it was the PS4 user's community. Due to this, the devs had to face some angry people.
When the trailer was released in September of 2021, the devs announced that the game would be released in 2022. This made the community sad, who had been desperately waiting for its release.
But one thing cheered the community up. Santa Monica Studios CEO announced that the game will be available for both PS4 as well as PS5.
The CEO of Santa Monica Studio has officially announced that God of War: Ragnarok will be available on PS4 and PS5. He did not talk about the game's release on PC.
So should the PC users believe that there will be no such release for this game? The answer is, No.
Even though God of War games has always been officially released on Playstation. But later, the game devs do release it on PC.
Just like with God of War 2018, which was released on Playstation but later released on PC. We can hope for the same thing this time.
To make it clear, even I am not entirely sure. But keeping the previous experience in mind, there is a possibility that it will be added to this platform too.
No, God of War Ragnarok is not a PS5 exclusive. It surely was a PS4 exclusive, but now it has been added to the game list of PS4.
PS5 is the latest technology that has been released in the Playstation series. For such a popular and high graphic game to not release on PS5 would have been a disappointment.
Fans were quite skeptical about the initial release of the game on PS5 only. But the devs took up the community request and announced the game to be released on PS4 as well.
The decision to release the game on PS4 as well made them do some changes to the game. It is considered that this might be the reason for the change of release year to 2022.
With this clarified, both the PS4 and PS5 users are happy. Too bad for us, the PC users!
The director for the God of War Ragnarok was Cory Balrog. But in the Playstation showcase, Cary Blog announced that Eric Williams has been appointed the new director.
It is believed that both of them are working on this project. Cory Barlog has been working in the studio since 2005.
According to the director of God of War Series, Eric Williams. It is a tradition in Santa Monica Studios to change the director every game.
But Cory Barlog has been appointed the most times. Williams, in this respect, says, "he's damn good at what he does.".
Eric Williams has been a part of the Santa Monica Studios since 2005, the release of God of War 1. He has been working at different posts up till now.
But this is the first time he is being appointed the director. Mostly he has worked as design director for the character and combat.
God of War Ragnarok will be a hell of a ride for the Playstation users. I would recommend playing all the previous parts before playing this.
At least playing God of War 2018, to learn the real story and enjoy the game to its fullest when it releases. Santa Monica Studios changed a lot before announcing the game release year.
They made changes in the story, changes in combat methods (as seen in the trailer). They even changed Kratos's whole personality.
People have been desperately waiting for the release of this part since 2018. Hopefully, we will get a more improved combat system than the previous God of War game.
The wait will soon be over, and people will get answers to their questions. After all, it will be the final game of this series.
The trailer created such suspense and left so many questions that the hype of the game has increased a lot.
At the end of the trailer, we have seen a person standing against Kratos and Atreus. This person has a hammer with him and can strike lightning. This confirms that we will see the God of Thunder Thor in the God of War Ragnarok. Thor might have come to take revenge for his children's death.
It has been confirmed by the directing team at Santa Monica Studios and the new director Eric Williams that God of War Ragnarok will be the last game in Norse Mythology. He says that they had a lot of ideas to continue the story, but they did not want to extend it more than needed.
This is one of those questions that can not be answered until the release. Keeping in mind Kratos's skill set, he might be able to defeat Thor.
But the opposite can also be true. Maybe, Kratos might be about to lose when Atreus or Loki might save him and defeat Thor.
There are different opinions on this question. One of them is that if lifting the hammer up was a matter of power, not eligibility, then he might or might not be able to pick it. If worthiness is the requirement as we have seen in the MCU, then it might not be possible for him to lift it.
The Norse God of War is Tyr, who is the half-brother of Thor. His purpose was to sign treaties and provide justice in the Norse Realm.
In God of War Ragnarok, we see that Odin tried to kill him, and he hid. Later Kratos and Atreus find him and ask for his help against Odin.
According to Norse Mythology, Norse Gods were mortal. They could die. As it can be seen, when Ragnarok struck, all the Gods were killed.
The Gods ruled and hurt people as they pleased just because they were stronger. They even fought and killed each other for power.
Tyr was given the title of God of War because of his fighting skills. This proves that Tyr is strong.
But in Norse Mythology, Tyr has been shown weaker than his half-brother Thor. This shows that he cannot be stronger than Odin, who is the All-father.
According to Norse Mythology, Magni and Modi will survive the Ragnarok. They will be one of the Aesir's who will survive.
They will be wielding their father's hammer, Mjolnir. The father of Magni and Modi is Thor, the great God of Thunder.
Odin Borson is the strongest Asgardian. After all, he is the All-father. He is the son of Bor, also the father of Thor (God of Thunder), the king of Asgard, and the adopted father of Loki (the mischievous god). He might die in Ragnarok as well. We will find this information in God of War Ragnarok
In Norse Mythology, Tyr is said to be Odin's son. Both sons of Odin, Tyr, and Thor are not from the same mother.
This is why both of them are called half-brothers. Tyr was appointed God of War by Odin because of his fighting techniques.

Inscribing Pompeii: A Reevaluation of the Jewish Epigraphic Data
Gunderson_ku_0099M_12711_DATA_1.pdf (6.845Mb)
Gunderson, Jaimie
This study examines the scant epigraphic evidence from Pompeii which has traditionally been linked to a Jewish community. I (re)contextualize and reevaluate this data according to its archaeological, philological, and social context to challenge the long held, and widely published view that a Jewish community existed in the city. My analysis largely rejects the conclusions of previous scholars, highlighting problems with historical methodology and scholarly assumption throughout the discussion. My approach involves incorporating theoretical discussions of community and Jewish identity, which are essential elements in positing the existence of a historical religious community. I argue that the epigraphic evidence points to the individual presence of Jewish persons, either as slaves or traders, in Pompeii. The evidence does not, however, indicate the presence of a Jewish community and associated religious practice. The reassessment of this evidence holds potential for a more accurate understanding of the demographics and diversity of first-century Roman cities, as well as furthering our knowledge of Jewish Diaspora communities.

The Best 5 Food Trucks In NYC—Hungry Yet?
UPDATE: If you're lucky enough to be out of work early on this holiday eve, take your lunch up a notch by noshing on grub from one of these so-yummy food trucks. This story was originally published on May 16.
New Yorkers are used to instant gratification — we want our coffee served before we can say "with room for milk," we need a cab the moment our arm reaches its full extension (unless, of course, it's the dreaded 5 p.m. shift switch), and we'll be damned if we've got to wait more than 20 minutes for an outdoor table at a popular restaurant during brunch hours. But our fast-fix obsession doesn't mean we're looking to skimp on quality. And we've found the perfect solution in five beloved NYC food trucks — quickly served gourmet dishes that aren't short on flavor but also don't break the bank.

Space-time worms are invading your TV

This is a four-dimensional object squeezed into two.
In 2005, Deb Roy, director of the Cognitive Machines group at MIT's Media Lab, installed cameras and mics throughout his house to study how his new-born son Dwayne learnt language. Over 240,000 hours of video were converted into "space-time worms" (see gallery), in which non-moving objects were made transparent, leaving "events" -- anything that moved. These were correlated with what was being said. The image above is ten seconds of Roy and his wife Rupal in their kitchen.
Now Roy, 43, has adapted the technology to tell TV networks and advertisers what people think of their products. "People tweet, blog and make Facebook comments when watching TV," he says. "We capture this feedback and link it to the events in the show." His company, Bluefin Labs, sells this "TV genome" back to the broadcasters, who get a real-time commentary on what people are watching. Tweet and be tracked.

I have been seeing a few hummingbirds over the last week or so. I put out my feeders even though we have a lot of things blooming right now.
Today I saw a lot of them and they were in the jasmine. There must be 30 – 40 flying in and out of the jasmine. I love the sound of the flying by, the noises they make and watching them get into little spats with each other.
For all these pictures I used my 400mm lens. I spent over an hour watching the hummers and taking their pictures. These are the five pictures I liked the best.
Hummers are fast, they are quite beautiful and most of all they are tiny and a challenge to photograph.
Enjoying nature is part of my life I am inspired by the beauty and simplicity and grateful it is there for me to enjoy.
On Tuesday I had my follow up appointment with the oncologist.
I had a lot of concerns about the hormone blocker they wanted to put me on for the next 7 – 10 years. Its brand name is Femora and the generic is Letrozole.
My biggest concern was the fact that it can decrease the calcium in your body. I already take thyroid medication that does this.
Since I have Osteopenia of the lower lumbar why would I want to take something that is going to push me into Osteoporosis? He said that the risk of it decreasing my calcium is only 1%.
The solution to my dilemma is IV Calcium Infusions 2 x a year to build up my bones.
My second concern was it upping my cholesterol. I have been on thyroid medication for 31 years and cholesterol medication 2 times during that time. According to my endocrinologist when my thyroid is off it affects my cholesterol. Why would I want to take a medication that could increase my cholesterol? That too has a low percentage of it happening.
Here is the kicker if I chose NOT to take the hormone blocker at all I have a 30% chance of getting cancer again. That number scared me so it looks like I will be starting this new medication after my burns finish healing. Hopefully, I will be getting my first IV Infusion of Calcium next week.
My point to all this is to make sure you ask questions before taking a new medication it is very important to know all the details.
Many years ago my grandmother shared some Iris bulbs with me.
We have moved them a few times but this last time has proved to be the best. They have more than doubled in the last year.
They are starting to bloom and are prettier than the pictures. We have had a lot of wind over the last week and its really keeping them from standing up tall.
I have picked some a few times for my mother n law and myself. I figured we might as well enjoy them indoors as well.
The power of purple in a landscape is truly amazing.
In our hydroponic greenhouse, our tomatoes are going crazy. The beefsteaks are big producers. The Persimmons they are orange tomatoes are just starting to bloom and the romas are newly planted.
All the hydroponic greenhouse plants were started from seed and they are in gravel with a timer that waters them with nutrients 3 x a day then it recycles it back to the main tank for the next time.
We keep the suckers trimmed off them which allows a better production of tomatoes but you can plant the suckers in water and let them root and we have been doing that. Now we have an additional 35 plants to do something with. We have given away at least 30 plants.
We have already planted some outside so we can compare the production and health of the plants. We have some planted in buckets and some in a no-till garden.
We have 8 tomatoes in dutch buckets that are beefsteak. This variety does better if you let them get taller. Ours are 7 and 8ft tall now. We have strings of rope across the top of the greenhouse to guide them along and hold the weight of the plants and the tomatoes.
All the years of gardening we have done we have never had this much success with tomatoes. Last count 7 of the 8 plants had 143 tomatoes on them. We are so ready to be able to taste these tomatoes. There are four that are starting to turn colors.
I have a funny feeling we will be selling tomatoes, freezing them and making lots of good stuff with them.
Enjoy life and do something you truly enjoy because it will give you such pleasure and peace at the end of the day.

Q: Sorting NSMutableArray with class objects for a peticular object in alphabetical order I have an array with property class objects like
for (int i=0; i<[eventList count]; i++) {

    NSDictionary *EventListDic=[eventList objectAtIndex:i];

    eventData.eventID=[EventListDic objectForKey:@"event_id"];
    eventData.eventsname=[EventListDic objectForKey:@"title"];

    [self.arrEventDataList addObject:eventData];
    [eventData release];

}

I want to sort this array for eventData.eventsname key in alphabetical order. I tried out with following functionality, but it is not working. Please suggest me how to do this. Thanks in advance
 NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"title" ascending:NO];
 NSArray *orderedArray = [self.arrEventDataList sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]];

I want to sort my arrEventDataList sorted by eventsname .

A: Try this.
NSSortDescriptor *sortByName = [NSSortDescriptor sortDescriptorWithKey:@"eventsname"
                                                                 ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortByName];
NSArray *sortedArray = [arrEventDataList sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:sortDescriptors];

You will have the sorted values. This will sort your arrEventDataList.

A: Try This One...
NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"self" ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortedFloats = [eventData.eventsname sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:
                    [NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]];
[sortDescriptor release];

// Put the two arrays into a dictionary as keys and values
NSDictionary *dictID = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:eventData.eventID  forKeys:eventData.eventsname];

// Sort the second array based on the sorted first array
sortedID = [dictID objectsForKeys:sortedFloats notFoundMarker:[NSNull null]];

Drumbeat for early voting pays off for Obama team in Colorado, West
DENVER, Colorado " The drumbeat to vote early is paying dividends for Barack Obama, especially in key battleground states in the South and West where Democrats have cast many more ballots than Republicans " and even in states where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats.
About a third of the American electorate was expected to vote before Election Day, largely to avoid long lines at the polls.
"It was so easy. I filled in my ballot with my wife over dinner and then dropped it off on the way to work," said Tony Amadeo, 27, one of almost 1.5 million people who cast early ballots in Colorado, where for the first time a majority of votes in a presidential race will be cast in advance.
More than 29 million people in 30 states have already voted, according to partial state and county data provided to The Associated Press, and that number was projected to rise to 44 million out of 137 million total votes nationally, according to estimates by Edison Media Research and George Mason University political scientist Michael McDonald.
That would be an early vote of 32 percent of this year's electorate, up from 22 percent in 2004 and 15 percent in 2000.
So far, Democrats have submitted 1 million more ballots than Republicans, though registration does not always indicate who voters choose for president.
Record early voting by Democrats in Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado suggests the Obama campaign has rolled up an early advantage over John McCain.
"This is a huge change. Early votes tend to be slightly whiter, slightly older, slightly more educated and slightly more Republican, so what we're seeing, it's completely unprecedented," said James Hicks, research director at the Early Voting Information Center at Reed College in Oregon.
The campaigns heavily promoted early voting, reasoning that if they got their base supporters in the bag before Election Day, they could then concentrate on attracting undecided voters.
On the eve of the election, Democrats had compiled early leads in several states:
" In Colorado, a toss-up state that chose President Bush twice, Democrats had cast 27,500 more ballots than Republicans by Monday. Nearly 1.6 million out of 3.2 million Colorado voters cast early ballots.
Colorado Democrats are now pressing supporters to use Election Day to lobby undecided voters. "I'm gonna be phone-banking, canvassing, working to get people out," said Kim Cooke of Denver, who volunteers for a progressive group that supports Obama. She dropped off her mail-in ballot Friday after work.
" In Florida, a whopping 4.2 million people have already voted, up more than 1 million from four years ago. Democrats cast 1.9 million ballots compared with 1.6 million among Republicans. Waits for early voting topped five hours in some places, and Gov. Charlie Crist signed an executive order extending early voting hours to accommodate the masses.
" In North Carolina, Democrats cast nearly twice as many early ballots as Republicans, 1.4 million ballots to 780,000. As of Sunday, more than 40 percent of registered voters had already cast ballots, leading elections officials to reduce expectations of Election Day turnout.
Obama, who campaigned in Charlotte on Monday, had reason to expect early voting was breaking his way. Blacks made up 28 percent of that state's early vote, though they are 21 percent of the population and accounted for just 19 percent of North Carolina's overall 2004 vote.
" In Iowa, Democratic early ballots outnumbered Republican ballots, 226,000 to 139,000.
" In Nevada, nearly 90,000 more Democrats than Republicans voted early in the state's two urban counties, home to 85 percent of the state's voters.
" In New Mexico, nearly 53 percent of early votes have been cast by registered Democrats, compared with 33 percent by registered Republicans.
" In Georgia, early voting has tripled since 2004. The state doesn't track early voters by party registration, but it does track them by race.
About 29 percent of the state's electorate is black, but 35 percent of early voters are black. Almost one-fifth of the early voters have come from two traditionally Democratic metro Atlanta counties.
Voters in one Georgia county stood in line until 10:30 p.m. last week to cast ballots. In Florida, waits for early voting topped five hours in some places, and Gov. Charlie Crist signed an executive order extending early voting hours to accommodate the masses.
In Orange County, Calif., election officials set up a drive-through voting center. It was an experiment in convenience that drew hundreds.
"It was just like placing an order at a fast-food restaurant," said county registrar Neal Kelley.
At a weekend rally in Pueblo, Colo., Obama urged thousands of Democrats who already voted to spend Election Day encouraging others to vote.
The plea worked for Mark Maestas of Pueblo, a deputy sheriff and hay farmer who voted early and planned to spend Tuesday working the phones at a volunteer center and delivering last-minute yard signs.
"We've got to go full force, right up to the very finish," Maestas said.
Early voting is becoming more common even in states that don't formally allow it. Those states say absentee requests set records this year. By Friday, South Carolina officials had already broken a 2004 record for absentee voting.
"People are not taking any chances. They want to make sure they get that vote in," said Mary Fitzgerald of North Charleston, S.C., who helped her 93-year-old mother complete her absentee ballot last week. About an hour after voting, Dora Fitzgerald died.
"She said she wanted to stick around long enough to vote for Obama," Mary Fitzgerald said.
News reports of the deathbed balloting have raised questions in South Carolina about whether an extended voting period could allow some dead people to vote. South Carolina's attorney general has indicated Fitzgerald's vote may be reviewed.
On top of those who voted early out of excitement were some who cast early ballots out of fatigue.
"It's been such a long campaign. I'm just ready for it to be over," said 25-year-old Rachel Murphy of Denver, who signed up for a mail-in ballot to be done with voting.
"I mean, how long are we supposed to stay fired up?" she said.
The Associated Press' Election Research and Quality Control Group in New York contributed to this report.

The Role of Dialogue in Socially Engaged Art
"context providers" rather than "content providers,"
"How do we form collective or communal identities without scapegoating those who are excluded from them? Is it possible to develop a cross-cultural dialogue without sacrificing the unique identities of individual speakers?"
This is real! What the STITCH Community Mural project tried to nurture was a space for a cross cultural & cross generational dialogue. That left some people off to the side (white folx) because there were points where the dialogue was NOT about them, but people were not willing to listen. They had to FIND, INSERT themselves into the dialogue. Don't think this a reflection on the process that we chose, but more on a reflection on peoples unfinished work.
Austrian arts collective Wochenklausur, boat colloquies
"scrutiny, they were able to communicate with each other outside the rhetorical demands of their official status."
The Roof is on Fire, Youth-led conversations about things affecting them (media, police harrassment, school, etc) at top of parking structure. Helped by Suzanne Lacy
"These dialogues led in turn to other collaborations and other conversations, including a six week long series of discussions between high school students and members of the Oakland Police Department (OPD) that resulted in the creation of a videotape used by the OPD as part of its community policing training program."
It's not about what is created at the end, but the very process that it takes for social change to happen. Anyone can organize through the political system, change policy, but how much of that actually affects, moves, touches the community?
infinite conversations, circle, ancestral, ceremonial (mural project)
"In these projects conversation becomes an integral part of the work itself. It is re-framed as an active, generative process that can help us speak and imagine beyond the limits of fixed identities and official discourse." Can I get a YESSSS?!
New genre public art, mapping the terrain, lacy
relational aesthetic
conversational art
dialogue-based art

A mum-of-two admitted to hospital for a routine operation but told within days that she would never walk again because of a 'catastrophic error' in her treatment has been granted a multi-million-pound care package to fund a lifetime of support and rehabilitation.
Hazel Spence, 35, was left 'totally distraught' after a doctor at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham left her almost completely paralysed from the waist down in 2006 when he flushed a drain that had become blocked whilst removing fluid from her spine, causing irreparable damage.
Medical Law experts at Irwin Mitchell have now secured the former beauty therapist, from Wolverhampton, a substantial seven-figure settlement after the University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust admitted responsibility for the critical mistakes made during Hazel's care.
Specialists at the firm said the settlement will now allow her and her two children Dante, 15, and Kyishane, 11, to move into a specially adapted home, to cover costs of childcare and to fund the rehabilitation and support she will need for life.
Tim Deeming, a medical law expert at Irwin Mitchell's Birmingham office representing Hazel, said: "It is devastating that Hazel, a previously fit and healthy woman, now faces a lifetime of care because of a catastrophic error.
Hazel was admitted to QE Hospital in 2006 to have a benign cyst removed between her shoulder blades. The operation went well and a drain was put into her lower back to remove fluid.
Two days later, a junior doctor said the drain should have removed a lot more fluid than it had, meaning it was probably blocked and asked Hazel to lay on her side so he could flush the drain to unblock it. If he had removed it and replaced it, as independent experts recommend, Hazel would have left hospital, fully recovered within days.
Within days Hazel lost feeling in her legs, was unable to walk and lost complete bladder and bowel control. She was sent for an urgent MRI scan and another operation to assess the damage to her spine that the flushing had caused.
Unfortunately the damage was permanent and six years on Hazel remains reliant on a wheelchair which she at times has to be strapped into because of spasms in her legs. Her mother helps look after the children and she has a team of carers to provide support.
Tim Deeming added: "We are supporting Hazel to help her achieve as much independence as possible and the care and rehabilitation package will help. The settlement means she will finally be able to move into a specially adapted house with her two children and make a fresh start.
Hazel added: "The last six years have been absolutely horrendous as I've struggled to come to terms with the fact my life will never be the same again and I can no longer do simple everyday tasks that get taken for granted. At times I've been totally distraught.
"It's been heartbreaking to see my children struggle to understand why their mum can no longer play with them and chase them round the garden and my mum's life has also changed forever as I've had to rely on her for so much support.
"Over the years I've regularly fallen out of my wheelchair because my legs have spasms that I can't control and it became very dangerous. It's been humiliating and at times I've felt like I've lost my dignity.

If you are planning to migrate to Canada as a french speaking immigrant, you may be in luck. Canada's 13 territories and provinces have agreed to boost immigration numbers for french speaking immigrants by 5% for 2018.
Tue Aug 23 2016 09:40:23 GMT+0000 (UTC)
Provincial Premiers wants more French speakers to immigrate to Canada by 2018
by : Waseem
The leaders of Canada's provinces and territories have agreed to reach a target of 5% French-speaking immigrants outside the province of Quebec. This target follows the objective of the federal government that, by 2018, francophone newcomers will represent at least 4% of all economic immigrants who settle outside Quebec. The provincial and territorial Premiers issued a joint statement on the matter at a Council of the Federation held in Whitehorse, Yukon in late July. This marks the first time that the 13 Premiers have together endorsed an immigration target for French speaking immigrants looking to settle in Canada.
Settlement outside Quebec
Quebec is often the first place for French Speaking people when starting out on their Canadian immigration objectives. The rest of Canada, however, also has a sizeable French speaking population of over one million individuals, representing around 4% of the total population outside of Quebec. The government of Canada, as well as the Premiers, want to maintain and build on these vibrant communities.
In its year-end Express Entry report, the federal department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly CIC) noted that, in 2015, 2% of candidates issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence under the Express Entry immigration selection system were French speaking, though they only represented 1% of candidates in the Express Entry pool. IRCC stated that it is currently exploring ways to increase the amount of French-speaking candidates interested in applying to come to Canada through Express Entry.
Provinces are already attracting French speakers
While the statement issued at the Council is aspirational, there are already in existence a range of Canadian immigration options that may be particularly attractive to individuals with French proficiency.
For example, the French-Speaking Skilled Worker stream of the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) allows Express Entry candidates with advanced-intermediate French ability (Canadian Language Benchmark 7) to obtain an enhanced OINP provincial nomination certificate. With this, the candidate may receive 600 additional Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points and an ITA at a subsequent draw from the pool. Candidates who have previously been exposed to French may, with a bit of additional effort and revision, reach adequate-intermediate proficiency and potentially benefit from this Canadian immigration option.
All Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) allow candidates and applicants to submit test results confirming French ability for PNP streams in which language ability is a factor. The French language ability is deemed to be no less valuable than English ability under many PNP streams.
While the federal objective for French speaking immigration is 4% of economic immigrants settling outside Quebec by 2018, Premiers have consistently called for a goal of 5%. Provincial and territorial representatives are expected to meet with federal authorities in the spring of 2017 to discuss an action plan for increasing the numbers of French speakers settling outside Quebec. A preliminary meeting is expected for October.
