WinIt Wednesday: Do You Dream of Clocking in More Hours of Sleep?
We all know the importance of getting plenty of sleep each night. Not catching enough Z's can affect our health, our appearance (talk about the importance of beauty sleep!), and our mood. We may even have adopted some interesting tips and tricks to get sleepy and stay asleep, such as warming up our socks to soothe our overactive minds, or abiding by the ancient lifestyle art form of feng shui to declutter our physical and mental space.
But, if you still feel like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, get ready to depart to dreamland by entering for a chance to win a customized Muse Mattress and Pillow Set worth over $1000!
Sometimes a bad night's sleep can be the result of a worn-out mattress you've been sleeping on for too many years. Once we climb into bed, our old lumpy, bumpy mattress can turn a sleepy night into a restless one filled with tossing and turning. So isn't it about time you gave your old mattress a rest?
Muse hand-selects each material and keeps a watchful eye on the details, from the density of the foam to the thread of the fabric. Comfort is key with any mattress, but the mattresses from Muse are designed for your personal level of comfort (without a one-size-fits-all mentality). Each mattress is crafted with a base layer of ventilated foam, a central layer of supportive memory foam, and topped with a gel-infused layer of memory foam for superior support and comfort — made in-house to better serve you, the light, heavy, belly, side, or snoring sleeper.
To see how serious Muse is about your sleep, take the Muse "Sleep Personality Quiz" to help determine the best personalized mattress and pillow for you! Choose your firmness level for your best sleep yet.
Enter here now for a chance to win this dreamy prize!

Q: Creating text files using python I have a list in the format:
a=["C/C++","Java","Python"]

I am trying to create a text file for each element in the list using python as follows:
for i in a:
    temp=i+".txt"
    with open(temp,"w") as outfile:
          outfile.write("some value")

However am running into issues for the elements off the form "C/C++" as it is trying to interpret that as a dir.
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
 IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C/C++.txt'

How do I overcome this??
Note-if the list element does not contain "/" in it, then the code created files for such elements.

A: Well the problem is fairly simple.

So, just change the name to a valid one like C-C++

Тидно (, VI век) — валлийский монах с мыса Грейт-Орм, память 5 июня.

Святой Тидно, по преданию, был одним из сыновей , правителя кантрева Гвайлод — легендарной затонувшей земли в Кардиганском заливе. После потери отцовских владений Тидно и его братья Гвинхойдл, Мейрин, Сенеуир и Тидклид стали членами монашеской общины Святого Динауда в Бангоре-Искойде.

Во всех генеалогиях святых Тидно упоминается как монах с Кингреаудра, то есть с холма Грейт-Орм, где с незапамятных времён добывали медь. На холме с именем святого связаны ручей Виннон-Дидно (Ffynnon Dudno), небольшая труднодоступная пещера Огов-Ллех (Ogof Llech) с источником свежей воды, которая как считается была его кельей, а также скала Майн-Сигл, иначе называемая Крид-Тидно (Cryd Tudno), то есть «ложе Тидно».

На Грейт-Орме также находится единственная церковь, посвящённая Тидно. Эта церковь дала имя приходу Лландидно, который с 1291 года называется в честь своего святого-покровителя. Считается, что Тидно сам возвёл здесь первую деревянную церковь. Сохранившийся до настоящего времени храм на этом месте был возведён в XII веке, затем он был существенно перестроен в XV веке. Во время сильнейшего урагана в 1839 году церковь сильно пострадала, потеряв крышу. Было принято решение не восстанавливать её, а построить новую приходскую церковь Святого Георгия в самом Лландидно, что и было сделано. Однако в 1855 году на частные пожертвования храм Святого Тидно был реконструирован.

В церкви, высоко над ступенями алтаря находится средневековый деревянный резной герб с изображением пяти ран Христа. Такая эмблема в современном Уэльсе уникальна — единственная подобная эмблема находится в храме соседнего прихода Лланрос. Кроме того, в храме сохранилась каменная купель XII века, а также небольшое каменное оконце, достаточно необычно выходящее на север. Согласно традиции свет этого оконца служил своеобразным маяком для моряков, огибавших Грейт-Орм.

Fic: Withering Away
Title: Withering Away
Characters: Jack, Ianto.
Spoilers: Nada
Summary: Jack is being a drama queen, convinced he's going to starve to death.
Written For: Challenge 38: None at beattheblackdog.
Disclaimer: I don't own Torchwood, or the characters.
Nothing! Jack pulled a disappointed face. Zero, zilch, nada; this was Ianto's usual hiding place for goodies, but there were none left. The cupboard was quite literally bare, which officially sucked.
Jack was hungry, but it was the early hours of the morning so everywhere was closed. He'd snacked his way through his own stash the night before, confident that he could raid Ianto's 'secret' store and replace the contents before his crime could be discovered, but where he'd expected to find an assortment of cookies and cakes and chocolate bars, there was instead an empty space. Not even so much as a crumb!
Torchwood's Archivist was up in Glasgow for a couple of days, sorting through an eclectic collection of artefacts Archie had inherited from his predecessor's estate. The items had been locked away in a storage unit, but the facility was due to be demolished to make way for a shopping centre, so it all had to be moved. Since Archie had limited space available, Ianto would be bringing most of the collection back to store in Torchwood Three's extensive archives, but he wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow, and that was no help to Jack in his current situation.
Being without Ianto was bad enough, Jack thought gloomily. He missed his Ianto, not to mention Ianto's coffee. The brew from their local coffee shop, though not a patch on the blends produced by the undisputed King of Coffee, was at least drinkable; Jack knew it would keep him going until Ianto's return, but now he was being denied sugary sustenance too. He might starve and wither away to nothing before Ianto came home. It would serve his lover right if he did. Ianto would be sorry he hadn't provided enough snacks when he discovered Jack's dried up husk, lying here on the floor of the archives.
Sighing heavily, Jack slumped onto the ground beside the filing cabinets. He could almost feel himself withering already, what a way to go! Since he was already down there, he tried the rest of the filing cabinet drawers, just in case Ianto had moved his stash to a different drawer, but all they contained were neat ranks of manila folders. He put his head in his hands; he was doomed for sure.
Or maybe not, there was one last thing he could try. Pulling out his phone, Jack called Ianto.
"Jack?" Ianto's voice was blurry with sleep. "What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
"What is it?" Ianto sounded more awake now.
There was a groan from the other end of the phone, and the soft, fluffy sound of Ianto falling back against his pillows. "D'you know what time it is?"
"Four fifteen," Jack answered confidently.
"Exactly. It's four fifteen in the bloody morning and you're phoning me to complain that you're hungry? What do you expect me to do about it? I'm all the way up in Scotland, in case you've forgotten!"
"I ran out of snacks and now I'm withering away from starvation and it's all your fault!" Jack replied grumpily. "Just thought you should know."
Jack's announcement was met by a snort of amusement; definitely not the response he was hoping for. "The Cafés and shops will be open come morning, Jack. You're hardly going to starve in the next three hours."
If pouts could be heard, then Jack's would have been clearly audible. "But I'm hungry now!"
"Tough! Anyway, what do you mean you ran out of snacks? I made sure you had plenty of food to tide you over while I was away."
"Last night was busy, I had to eat all the snacks in my drawer to keep my strength up. Then yesterday was just as busy and there was no time to re-stock, but I thought it would be alright because I knew you kept a secret stash in one of your filing cabinet drawers. Only when I came down to get something, it was all gone."
"That wasn't my secret stash, Jack. I used that drawer once to store the food I'd bought for Mica's birthday party a couple of months ago. I didn't want the team helping themselves from it."
"I do have a secret stash of course, but you'll never find it and I'm not telling you where it is. A man has to have a few secrets."
"But I'm hungry!"
"This may be a silly question, but did you happen to check the kitchen cupbords before deciding to raid my filing cabinet?"
"Um, no. Why?"
"Then why don't you do that and let me get some sleep? Goodnight, Jack." Without waiting for a reply, Ianto hung up.
"Ianto?"
"Dammit, I can't believe you hung up on me!" Jack glared down the phone at Ianto. Even though Ianto couldn't see him, it made Jack feel better. Not by much, but still…
Giving up on withering away to nothing for the moment, Jack wearily hauled himself back to his feet and slouched back up the stairs to the main Hub, making a beeline for the kitchen. All that was in the fridge was butter, one out-of-date yoghurt, and half a four-pint container of milk. Jack shut the door and went to look in the cupboards.
The one under the sink held cleaning supplies, and the one next to it contained a few saucepans and frying pans. The cupboards above the worktop were where the mugs and plates lived, along with teabags, sugar, and a jar of honey.
Opening the end cupboard, Jack just stood and stared at the stacks of cookies, and cakes, and chocolate… There was more food packed into that cupboard than even Jack could eat in a week! Pulling out a pack of dark chocolate HobNobs, Jack sank onto the floor, tore open the wrapper, and stuffed a cookie into his mouth, chomping on it blissfully and already feeling less insubstantial.
Withering away to nothing would have to wait for some other time.

FIA CIK Karting European Championship UK 2018
The Kart Grand Prix of Great Britain reached its climax on Sunday, 20th May, 2018 on the circuit of PF International. During three days of good weather and intense competition, the best European Drivers were able to engage in a magnificent confrontation before concluding with two exciting final Races. The quality of the British hosting, a combination of conviviality and passion, added an extra touch to this second Competition of the CIK-FIA European Championships, dedicated to the OK and OK-Junior categories. Dilano Van T'Hoff of the Netherlands won the 12-14 age group while Hannes Janker of Germany won the Seniors event. The face of the Championships was significantly changed.
BTCC Donington Park 2018
Donington Park provides the setting for the second race weekend of the 2018 BTCC season. Donington is undoubtedly one of the fans' favourite places to watch the BTCC. Toyota Avensis driver Tom Ingram took his second Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship race win of the season at Donington Park to strengthen his points lead during another strong weekend for the rising stars in the series. Power Maxed Vauxhall racer Josh Cook claimed his maiden BTCC win in the weekend's opening race and was only narrowly beaten by Adam Morgan (Mercedes) in the final race of the day. Ingram now leads the championship by seven points from Morgan, with Cook eight points further back.
HSCC Donington Park 7th April 2018
The 2018 racing season from the Historic Sports Car Club got off to a fantastic start at Donington Park over the weekend (April 7/8). From a busy 15-race programme, the Historic Formula Ford pack delivered some epic racing as good battles ran across all categories.The life and racing success of Jim Clark was remembered by the Historic Sports Car Club during a moving commemoration at Donington Park on Saturday April 7 when around 500 people gathered on the start line. The HSCC's opening race meeting of the season was exactly 50 years from the day when Clark was killed in a Formula 2 accident at Hockenheim. The Club held a minute's silence at 1pm on Saturday and drivers, team members, marshals, officials and spectators went to the grid to show their respect for one of Britain's greatest racing drivers.
1974 Lancia Stratos - Amigos Steve Perez - Autosport International 2018
The 1974 Stratos featured here is owned by Steve Perez, rally driver and boss of Chesterfield based Global Brands drinks distribution company. Perez is a big believer in giving his car a proper workout rather than locking it away in a museum. This car has been rebuilt for the Goodwood Festival of Speed by Castleford-based rally specialist BTR Preparation, and the bark of the Ferrari V6 will be heard on the Forest Rally Stage during the weekend in July. The origins of one of the most significant rally machines of all time lie in a concept created by coachbuilder Bertone for the 1970 Turin motor show. When Nuccio Bertone presented the wedge-shaped Stratos Zero concept, it happened to be fitted with a 1600cc Lancia Fulvia powerplant in a mid-engined configuration. Bertone's design exercise inspired Cesare Fiorio, Lancia's motorsport boss, to imagine a competition version of the Stratos Zero. Fiorio had already kicked around 'ultimate rally car' concepts with Lancia's factory rally drivers such as Sandro Munari. In his mind, Fiorio conceived a powerful, mid-engined, rear-drive sports car. At the time, many of the unmade country roads used as rally stages on the Continent were being surfaced for the first time, so Fiorio envisioned a car that would handle well on smooth asphalt. To cope with the rough forest and desert rallies, he reckoned his dream car would need suspension that could be adjusted in less than 10 minutes. But Fiorio's competition car would need more power. The answer lay in another part of the mighty Fiat empire, which had bought Lancia in 1969: Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari offered the use of the 2.4-litre V6 from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT. The Lancia Stratos HF broke new ground because it was the first car to be designed specifically with rally competition in mind. It was built around a steel monocoque with tubular sub-frames and clad in glassfibre body panels, and weighed less than a tonne. It also had extremely compact dimensions, at just 3708mm long, 1727mm wide and with a 2184mm wheelbase. The first win came courtesy of Sandro Munari in the Sanremo Rally of 1974 and Lancia went on to win the World Rally Championship for manufacturers each year between 1975 and 1977. About 500 road-going examples had to be built to meet rallying's homologation rules, but with the price tag of £5000 close to that of the Ferrari Dino, the no-frills Stratos was slow to sell. Today, rally-prepared examples in mint condition fetch about £250,000.

Martin Lampkin Memorial X Trial Sheffield 2018
A large crowd gathered at the Sheffield Arena on Saturday 6th January for the 2018 Martin Lampkin Trial to see the top trials riders in the world attempt the tough sections created by Dougie and Harry Lampkin. And tough they certainly proved to be with the big gaps and slippery going on the man-made sections causing even multi World Champion Toni Bou some problems! Joining the more established stars of the world indoor scene for the first time was 2017 Trial2 World Champion Iwan Roberts, now mounted on the TRRS machine. The normally laid back Iwan was understandably nervous before the start but gave his all in the toughest trials arena in the world, helped along by a large vocal Welsh crowd willing him on all the way. If the qualification circuit didn't look difficult enough all of the sections were reversed for the final, with some of the undercut huge steps onto slippery surfaces looking impossible. As we are aware impossible doesn't seem to be a word in Toni Bou's vocabulary, his brilliance on this type of going just has to be seen to be believed. As is often the way Adam Raga pushed Toni to his best but the Repsol Honda man eventually forged a lead that even allowed him the luxury of a relatively easy failure on the Mertux section. This soft five only encouraged Bou to have another "off the record" attempt in doing the whole section on the rear wheel only .. a feat he didn't manage but the crowd certainly got into the spirit. Not only did every rider give their all but the superb organisation by all involved made the Martin Lampkin Trial one of the best events of the year once again. Roll on 2019 !!
BRSCC Finals Donington Park 14th October 2017

In the presence of a total of 181 Drivers from more than 30 countries on five continents, one would have expected the Races to be a very open. tough world championships full of surprises. Many favourites missed their target, while a new hierarchy emerged. Two Britons finally imposed themselves with unquestionable brilliance. Danny Keirle was crowned World Champion, while young Dexter Patterson won the title of World Junior Champion with great emotion. The exemplary organisation of the Trent Valley Kart Club contributed greatly to the success of the World Competition with meticulous attention to every aspect; sporting, technical, media and public. The presence of many spectators on Sunday around the circuit and during the podium ceremonies testified to the popularity of karting in Great Britain. Present at PF International on Sunday, the double F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso attended the Finals.

Jack in the Crack (Jack in the Box nickname)
Jack in the Box fast food restaurants are located primarily in the West and in the South; there are over 900 restaurants in California and over 600 restaurants in Texas. The company began in 1951 in Long Beach, California, and features a clown spokesman named Jack.
The nickname "Jack in the Crack" has been cited in print since at least 1991 and is still popularly used. There is no universal meaning of the nickname. Some claim that "Jack in the Crack" food is so addictive that it's like crack. Others claim that "Jack in the Crack" food causes diarrhea.
Jack in the Box has also been nicknamed "Gag in the Bag" (cited in print since at least 1990).
Wikipedia: Jack in the Box
Jack in the Box (NASDAQ: JACK) is an American fast-food restaurant founded by Robert O. Peterson in 1951 in San Diego, California, where it is still headquartered today. In total, the chain has 2,200 locations, primarily serving the West Coast of the United States. California is the state with the greatest number of outlets (927), followed by Texas (611), Arizona (177), Washington (143), Nevada (77), and the bi-state St. Louis metropolitan area (72, between Missouri and Illinois). Since 2000, the company has also opened outlets in North Carolina and other Southern states. The company also operates the Qdoba Mexican Grill chain.

Foster kids have a unique set of challenges to face. Emotional trauma, moving from place to place, feeling uncertain about the future – foster kids have to deal with all these issues, along with the normal worries of growing up. Even if you've got a great foster family, living in foster care can be tough, but there are ways you can make the best of it. First of all, make sure you understand the situation you're in. After that, work on taking care of your emotional health, and start making plans for your future.
Know your rights. You have the right to live in a safe place, to understand any legal decisions made on your behalf, and to have a say in what happens to you. You also have the right to have clothing, healthy food, and privacy; to practice your religion; and to get medical care if you need it.
If you think your rights are being violated, tell your case worker or your lawyer what's going on.
Since your rights will vary from state-to-state, consult a legal representative about the specifics in your case.
Know your responsibilities. As a foster child, you are responsible for cooperating with your case worker and obeying any court orders. You're also responsible for following your foster parents' rules, doing your best to get along with your foster family, and behaving well at school.
Talk with your foster family. Communicate with your foster family to make sure you understand each other. If you don't know what the rules are, ask. Let your foster family know that you want to get along with them, but it may take you some time to get used to living with them.
If you need something, let your foster parents know. It's their job to take care of you.
Your foster family likely wants the best for you, but they cannot know what you need or want unless you speak up. Try to be as open and honest with them as possible.
Stay in touch with your case worker. You will probably meet with your case worker (or social worker) on a regular basis. Talk to them about how you're doing and what you want to happen next. Your case worker can help advocate for you in the legal system, so make sure they understand what you want.
For instance, if you want to visit with your biological family sometimes, or if you don't want to return to your biological family, make sure your case worker knows that.
You should also know how to contact your lawyer. If you don't know who your lawyer is, your case worker can help you find out.
It's a good idea to keep a list of the names and contact information of the people you're in contact with often, such as your case worker and legal representatives.
Recognize that you aren't at fault. Children in foster care often struggle with blaming themselves and feeling guilty about being removed from their birth parents. While these feelings are normal, they are misplaced because you are not to blame for this situation. Talk to a counselor if you find yourself feeling any unpleasant emotions related to your situation.
Talk to a school counselor. Living in foster care can bring up a lot of complicated emotions. Talking to an adult is one good way to feel better. Make an appointment with your school counselor if you're having a hard time coping or you just want to confide in someone.
Your school counselor will keep anything you tell them confidential, unless they think you are in danger of hurting yourself or anyone else.
Find adults you trust. Build a support system of people you can turn to when you feel overwhelmed. If you have a good relationship with your foster parents, start by talking to them. You could also talk to a teacher, a coach, someone at your place of worship, or an adult relative.
You can also look for a mentor through a mentoring program. A good place to start is http://www.mentoring.org/.
If you don't trust your foster parents, realize that they are likely doing the best they can. Becoming a good foster parent takes time. Be open with them about your past and how you feel about it so that they can better understand where you're coming from.
Express yourself creatively. Get your feelings out by writing stories or poetry, drawing, painting, or making music. Turning your emotions into art will help you deal with what's going on in your life.
Consider signing up for something like an art class or a writing group. If you'd rather not show other people your art, you can just work on it in the privacy of your room.
Talk to your friends. Good friends will support you, listen to you, and make you feel like you belong. Don't hesitate to turn to your friends when you need some company or a listening ear. If you've moved to a new place and don't have many friends yet, reach out to some people who seem friendly at school.
For instance, you might say something like "Staying in foster care is really stressful. I could use someone to talk to. Are you free?"
It may also help to make new friends by participating in clubs or activities at your school.
Nurture your self-esteem. Do your best to get along with people and earn good grades. Focus on your strengths and good qualities. During your free time, do things that make you feel good about yourself, such as developing a skill or working on a hobby.
Take care of yourself. Make your physical and mental health a priority. Get some exercise every day, make good food choices, and get enough sleep. Set aside some time every day to do something that helps you relax, like writing in a journal, meditating, or reading a good book.
If you don't have good health habits right now, start with little changes, like drinking water instead of soda.
Explore your interests through different activities. If you're in high school, sign up for an extracurricular activity or two every year. Try different things and see which ones interest you most. Participating in a variety of activities could pave the way for a career or help you get into college later.
Volunteering is another good way to explore different interests and potential jobs. Consider putting in time at a local animal shelter, homeless shelter, or nursing home.
You might also talk to your teachers at school about school-sponsored volunteer opportunities.
How you plan for your future will depend on your unique situation, your interests, your age, and your priorities.
Talk to your school counselor. You don't have to figure out your future alone. If you feel overwhelmed about the future or unsure of how to prepare, your school counselor can help you explore your options for education or work. They can also help you make a concrete plan for how to get there.
Visit the counselor's office to set up an appointment to meet with this person. If you have an urgent need to talk to someone, they may be able to carve out time that same day.
Look for a part-time job. If you're old enough to work, start applying for jobs. Working will boost your confidence and give you valuable skills you'll need later in life. You'll also be able to practice important money management skills, like saving money and sticking to a budget.
Consider a part-time job where you can work hours that won't interfere with your studies. Good jobs might include working as a cashier at a local grocery store or a server at a restaurant.
Think about whether you want to go to college. A college education will broaden your horizons and open up your career options. If you want to go to college, start preparing for it as early as possible. Your school counselor can help you with this.
Start by making a list of schools you might like to attend, researching the application process, and deciding when to take the SAT or ACT.
Learn about the responsibilities of adulthood. When you transition out of foster care, you'll need to know how to take care of yourself. This includes skills like finding housing, managing money, cooking for yourself, and staying healthy. Ask your foster family to start teaching you how to manage these responsibilities, or look for programs in your area that teach life skills.
Wtf you don't know what it's like.
Articles are written on topics by others who have first hand knowledge on a subject.
Why am I sent to foster care?
The reasons that children are sent to foster care are numerous. You should consult your case worker or guardian about this issue.
If you've never talked to a counselor but have had a foster home recommended as it would be best, is it natural to be afraid of talking about your issues and going to a foster home?
Yes, it's natural to fear opening up to a stranger. However, counselors are trained to help you feel more comfortable. Over time, you will probably feel more able to talk with them.
Remember, you're not alone! Many children are in foster care and can understand your situation.

Telesystem - 6 Reasons to Invest in Managed Security
One Size Doesn't Fit Everyone
The Tale of the Tape: SD-WAN vs MPLS WAN
What's happening at Telesystem
Wide area networks (WANs) are the connective tissue of the modern distributed organization. They tie together main, remote and branch offices, as well as data centers, through combinations of different link types carrying traffic for applications such as hosted VoIP, video conferencing and file transfers. The specific modes of transport vary from WAN to WAN, but have typically featured Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) services in a prominent capacity.
More recently the traditional dominance of MPLS has been challenged by the rise of software-defined WANs (SD-WANs). While SD-WANs are first and foremost characterized by their use of a software layer that centralizes network management and enables real-time decision-making about path selection, they are also distinguished by their compatibility with multiple forms of connectivity.
In addition to (or instead of) MPLS, an SD-WAN might incorporate commodity broadband, 4G LTE cellular and satellite internet. All of these options are less expensive per megabit than MPLS, meaning that they are ideal for scaling a WAN to numerous sites and supporting apps requiring lots of bandwidth. There are some performance tradeoffs when ditching MPLS for the alternatives, though – even if you get a great deal on an all-internet WAN, you want to make sure you can still support mission-critical hosted VoIP.
How do SD-WANs and MPLS WANs stack up? They each have unique pros and cons worth understanding before making a purchasing decision.
The number of SD-WAN production deployments surged from virtually zero in 2014 to more than 4,000 by June 2017, according to Gartner. SD-WANs bring a new level of intelligence to business networks, allowing for the increased flexibility, responsiveness, security and control necessary for supporting modern applications.
Cost-effective: Gartner has also estimated a switch from traditional WAN to SD-WAN could reduce the three-year running costs of a 250-branch deployment from $1.3 million to $453,000. These savings are achievable mainly through cheaper network transport than MPLS.
Configurable: An SD-WAN can be fine-tuned to deliver the Quality of Service (QoS) your organization requires for its most important apps, such as hosted VoIP. It will automatically and seamlessly select the optimal paths for high-priority traffic, avoiding congestion on links exhibiting excessive packet loss, jitter and latency.
Simple, yet flexible: With SD-WAN technology, it's much easier to connect a WAN to new sites and to ensure secure connections. Less on-premises protective infrastructure is required, plus straightforward integrations with security software and different link types (including MPLS) can support safe direct connections between branches and SaaS and IaaS solutions.
Not a perfect fit for every firm: If an organization does not have significant investments in cloud-based applications, it might not get much value from an SD-WAN, since its main advantages apply to superior routing of cloud services.
Possibly challenging to implement: Depending on the vendor, a customer might face some hiccups in implementing key SD-WAN infrastructure and integrating it with any existing legacy assets. For example, it could take some time to weave in expensive existing MPLS investments so that they don't have to be ditched entirely.
May need additional services, especially for security: While Telesystem offers an SD-WAN solution which includes advanced security features and DDoS protection, typical offerings usually require other measures and integrations like the ones we mentioned earlier, especially for protecting cloud-bound traffic and mitigating DDoS attacks.
MPLS WAN
MPLS is old, yet resilient technology. It has long been synonymous with the very notion of a WAN, and despite the meteoric rise of SD-WAN, it remains an important revenue stream for service providers and a key mode of transport for countless WANs.
Built-in QoS: MPLS can preferentially treat traffic from the get-go. Unlike other IP networks, it doesn't need multiple routers to perform lookups of the next hop, since the specific label predetermines the path for traffic.
Service-level agreements (SLAs): In addition to QoS, a MPLS plan comes with an SLA specifying a particular level of availability, unlike standard broadband plans offering best-effort service that won't be enough for the most demanding apps like hosted VoIP.
Carrier support: The MPLS service provider oversees routing, meaning that customers do not have to bear this burden. They can also maintain fewer overall WAN engineers on staff, saving money on IT personnel.
Very expensive: MPLS can cost hundreds of times more per Mbps per month than broadband. While it provides a higher level of reliability on paper, the gap has been closing and it's now possible to get good enough service via internet links, as long as they're incorporated into an SD-WAN.
Single point of failure: The dependability of an MPLS plan ultimately comes down to the carrier overseeing it. If something happens to the carrier's infrastructure, then MPLS service could be disrupted, at great cost to customers' operations.
Not optimized for cloud: MPLS was originally developed years before cloud computing became a staple of corporate IT. Accordingly, it isn't ideal for the distinctive traffic flows and bandwidth requirements of modern IaaS and SaaS applications
Choosing the best WAN for your applications
There's plenty to consider when designing and updating your WAN. Along the way, it's important to keep in mind SD-WAN's ability to incorporate MPLS links alongside other forms of connectivity. If you regularly rely on applications such as hosted VoIP and video, it will usually make sense to upgrade to SD-WAN for both the savings and the performance boost, even if you already have some MPLS links in place.
Telesystem has you covered for both hosted voice solutions and an SD-WAN that ensures they perform as expected. Contact our team to learn more about our VoIP and WAN services today.

Ski and snowboard gear for the last decade has been pretty stagnant. Each season brings a new set of graphic designs on coats, or a few grams of weight shaved off a board, but largely the gear has followed in the guidelines of established designs. Perhaps the closest thing to innovation in snowboarding is the splitboard — a snowboard that breaks into two pieces in order to skin up slopes as alpine skiers do. The original splitboard was created in the early '90s by Brett Kobernik and the founder of Voile. But that was in 1994, and now, more than two decades later, the world of snowboarding is finally getting a new piece of gear — the Convert bindings from Ross Snow Tech.
Essentially, the bindings act like Transformers, converting from downhill snowboard bindings into 26-inch snowshoes. And the conversion can happen in 30 seconds (once you understand the sequence of locks and sash levers), without taking your boot out of the binding. Conceptualized by Denver-based Alex Swaynie in his garage, the Convert bindings will change the way snowboarders get around on resorts and in backcountry terrain.
Swaynie first thought up the idea for these bindings when he was boarding with a friend at Powderhorn Resort near Grand Junction in 2011, the year before he graduated from Colorado Mesa University. His friend was stuck in loose powder and in the time it took for him to get out, Swaynie kept wondering what could be different with his gear to make it easier for both of them in those situations.
As a marketing and entrepreneurship major, Swaynie used that experience at Powderhorn to create a prototype binding and entered it into some elevator pitch competitions. Although he won fourth in the Collegiate Entrepreneurship Organization (CEO), the binding idea remained dormant for Swaynie until 2016.

"These bindings were always in the back of my head. Every time I told someone about them they'd say 'oh my god that's such a good idea.' And I just got sick of hearing that," Swaynie explained. So after interviewing a handful of local product development companies, he hired Link and made his idea a reality. "[Link] does all the heavy-lifting on the project," he mentioned humbly, standing amidst the different prototypes he's made on his own in a little garage near the Art District on Santa Fe. But the truth is that Swaynie is a tinkerer, a first-time inventor and a passionate entrepreneur. And with these bindings, he's not only innovated the field of snowboard bindings, but he's also reminding the entire industry that there is room to grow.
The transition consists of four or five main operations in a particular order. First, the high-back folds down and locks in place. Then, sash levers located on each side unfold and release the binding from the mounting bracket. Once the binding is separated from the board, the front piece folds from beneath the foot and locks in place. And — voila — it's a snowshoe. There's also the option to add on crampons that require boot removal to insert, but the crampons would be for more serious terrain or hardpack, where it should be easier to take boots in and out of the bindings and board anyway.
"We want this to be for all-mountain riders. I've been riding it for the last few years, on resorts, on sidecountry, backcountry, wherever. And any level of snowboarder can use it, there are no limits," Swaynie commented.
The first time Ross Snow Tech and the bindings were seen by the industry was at the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show in Denver at the beginning of 2019. "The main point was to get our name out there and use it as a marketing tool," said Swaynie. He added, "we wanted to see if people actually liked it or if I was crazy for doing this for so long." Of course, any person who invents something is bound by their own insecurities and self-doubt, but the response from Outdoor Retailer helped Swaynie realize his idea is worth something. Plus, Ross Snow Tech took home the Gear Junkie Best in Show award — all that, and the bindings aren't even technically 'on the market' yet.
How many are available? Hopeful for 500 in the first year.
Where can people get them? They'll be sold direct-to-consumer for the first few years, look on this website.
Cost? $600-650, although that is subject to change.
All photography by Karson Hallaway, unless otherwise noted.
It is my opinion that many of those changes are not true innovations, as they only alter an existing feature rather than creating something new. Therefore, it is my opinion that the gear industry has been stagnant… I wouldn't classify that as ignorance. Thanks for reading.
