CLIMATE CHANGE: WHY WE CAN'T WAIT BY JAMES HANSEN, THE NATION, APRIL 21, 2007
Supplying energy
This is an adaptation of a talk delivered February 26 at the National Press Club. Comments relating to policy are Dr. Hansen's personal opinion and do not represent a NASA position. There's a huge gap between what is understood about global warming by the relevant scientific community and what is known about global warming by those who need to know: the public and policy-makers. We've had, in the past thirty years, one degree Fahrenheit of global warming.

Road Runner Girl: 10K With My Hubby!
This weekend I set out to run at least 6 miles. My hubby decided to come with me and ride his bike along beside me! I was so excited to have him with me!
As soon as we walked out of the door the heat hit us. And the humidity. The air was so thick and hot. I knew this was going to be a tough run. But of course I wasn't going to not attempt it!
For those that have asked...no I don't run faster or slower when my hubby is biking beside me. I go at my normal pace and he adjusts.
The first 2 miles we were able to watch the sun rise! It was cloudy since rain was in the forecast but still beautiful! And I loved seeing it with him since normally he's still sleeping when I'm running on the weekends!
I'm not gonna lie though. This run got tough real fast. It was just so hot and humid! I was sweating buckets already at mile 1! But I'm stubborn and won't let myself give up. And I definitely can't give up with my husband there lol!
Even though we started early for a Saturday morning (or so I thought) we had to dodge a ton of traffic. My hubby did NOT like that at all. But it's what a runner has to do for a long run around here since there aren't sidewalks everywhere.
He felt much better when we got off the busy road and entered a neighborhood. Poor guy though. I barely talked to him. I was struggling. I could barely breathe. He probably enjoyed me being quiet for once lol!
We came to a road where we were going to turn and make a loop. But he wanted to turn right instead of left. When I asked him why he said when we had passed the end of that street the first time that someone had vomited and it was all over the road. You can tell I was struggling because I never even saw that!
I didn't want to veer from my route (I had my mileage routed out) but knew I didn't want to see the vomit either. So we turned right. And it was ok in the end. I had to run a little bit past our neighborhood (if we'd turned left I would have stopped before my neighborhood) to make the mileage but it wasn't too far.
The last mile was so tough! I was so ready to be done! And I had such feelings of disappointment. Just a few weekends ago I was PRing my long runs! But I KNOW it's the heat and humidity. I really need to slow down some so these runs aren't quite so hard. But I can never seem to do that. And so I struggle. Ugh! Maybe I will learn eventually. You would think I would remember how summer running is here on the Gulf Coast but it seems to take me by surprise each summer.
I was super glad when this run was done!
And even though I barely talked to him the entire run...I was thankful to have Andy riding his bike beside me!
My goal this next weekend's long run is to slow down some! Do you think I can do it??
QOTD: Do you run or workout with your significant other?


I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Penn State University in 1987. However, my formal education provided very few experiences that I credit with developing my skills as a furniture maker. The world has been my classroom. I am blessed with a keen eye. I pay attention to details. In that sense, I have studied my craft since I was a child, as I was always interested in how objects were put together.
In my mid-twenties I started building my own furniture and furnishings. And that is how I learned my craft for the most part. I am a kinesthetic learner so building pieces and seeing the results has reinforced my skills and my style slowly over time. I did take one workshop with a Master Craftsman, Steven Lamont, in 1996. That experience definitely helped me further develop my eye for details and instilled the importance of craftsmanship in making a piece of furniture that will last for generations. I learned my craft very gradually, by making mistakes, taking risks, experimenting with different techniques, working with clients, and getting feedback from others.
My work has changed dramatically over the last 15 years or so. I have found my own style and it is heavily influenced by the American Arts and Crafts movement and individual craftsmen like George Nakashima and James Krenov. Many of my pieces have an Asian influence as well. My home and workshop are located near the heart of Bald Eagle State Forest so I also gain a lot of inspiration from the trees in my environment. Some of my pieces have natural edges, and I always allow the tree to influence the design in those cases.
I look forward to sharing my work and receiving your feedback .
Welcome to LJs!! Glad you have joined us!!
Welcome to LJs. I hope that you will find this to be an rewarding and informational aspect of your woodworking adventure.
Welcome to Lumberjocks John. This is a great community of people with like interests.There is much to learn here & you will have the opportunity to share your skills & ideas with others. I hope you enjoy LJ's as much as I do.
Welcome, I've just discover your projects "rolling the dice" in the homepage of LJ. I like your style and your projects. Sorry, what is a "kinesthetic learner"?
A kinesthetic leaner means that I learn best by actually physically doing the task vs. reading about how something is done or listening to a lecture.

Q: Obtaining predictions specific to "NA" values from a column My data looks like this:
     v1 v2 v3 v4     pred1    pred2
1  1908  5 10  2 10.000000  2.00000
2  1908  4 15  5 15.000000  5.00000
3  1908  8 14  4 14.000000  4.00000
4  1908  1 NA  9 11.230271  9.00000
5  1908  9 NA 14  9.942911 14.00000
6  1908  7  8 17  8.000000 17.00000
7  1908  6 NA  8  7.881931  8.00000

I want to extract the preds corresponding to a column which has NA values in. That is pred1 was obtained using the v3 column and I would like to extract the value 11.230271 and 9.942911 along with 7.881931 which has NA values in the v3 column.
So I will end up with something like 11.230271, 9.942911, 7.881931, 7.08919 where the last value 7.08919 came from pred2 which was built on v4 data and has an NA value at row12.
Data:
data <- structure(list(v1 = c(1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1908L,
1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1908L, 1909L, 1909L, 1909L,
1909L, 1909L, 1909L, 1909L, 1909L), v2 = c(5L, 4L, 8L, 1L, 9L,
7L, 6L, 2L, 12L, 11L, 10L, 3L, 5L, 4L, 8L, 1L, 9L, 7L, 6L, 2L
), v3 = c(10L, 15L, 14L, NA, NA, 8L, NA, 7L, 5L, 2L, 16L, 13L,
10L, 11L, 12L, 1L, 3L, 4L, 6L, 9L), v4 = c(2L, 5L, 4L, 9L, 14L,
17L, 8L, 18L, 16L, 15L, 11L, NA, 3L, 1L, 1L, 10L, 12L, 13L, 7L,
6L), pred1 = c(10, 15, 14, 11.2302713507484, 9.94291143314257,
8, 7.88193139599341, 7, 5, 2, 16, 13, 10, 11, 12, 1, 3, 4, 6,
9), pred2 = c(2, 5, 4, 9, 14, 17, 8, 18, 16, 15, 11, 7.0891904140478,
3, 1, 1, 10, 12, 13, 7, 6)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-20L))

A: We can subset the columns of interest by filtering based on another column
subset(data, is.na(v3), select = c("pred1", "pred2"))

If we need the values for corresponding NA elements in 'v3', 'v4'
out <- Map(function(x, y) y[is.na(x)], data[3:4], data[5:6])
out
#$v3
#[1] 11.230271  9.942911  7.881931

#$v4
#[1] 7.08919

then, get the values as a single vector by unlistting
unlist(out, use.names = FALSE)

Or using map2 from purrr
library(purrr)
map2(data[3:4], data[5:6], ~ keep(.y, is.na(.x)))

Navigating the Job Search is Like Driving in Spain
Imagine this: you are in a rental car in Spain. It's stick shift, of course, which you haven't driven in over twenty years. You set out to drive at least an hour. So you get in your rental car ready to hit the road… they said that most of the street signs are similar enough to what you are used to that it shouldn't be a big deal. Then, you come across a set of street signs like this (photo courtesy campervantrips):
No big deal really… right? Except, you are supposed to turn soon, according to your GPS (which seems to be off by 100 meters). Wait, did I say meters? Yeah, that's foreign to me… So I'm in a foreign country, driving a different kind of car (stick), using a measuring system that I'm not used to (how long until 250 meters??), the GPS is off enough to make a difference, and the next exit I want is M-30. Wait, is that an exit, or a road? And what the heck is E-5, and why is the next one E-901 instead of E-6? A-4, A-42, A-5… ?????
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
This was me a week ago. I rented a car in Spain and, with three teens in tow, drove to various beaches around Barcelona. Most of the time it was fine, but every once in a while it got really confusing! Is this exit for M-30, E-901, A-3, A-4, A-42, A-5… and why can't it just be ONE thing? Like, in my state back home, there's one exit number… like exit 291. That is, I think, two hundred ninety one miles from the south border of the state. Guess what the next exit is? 292! Or maybe 293, if it is two miles up. I don't remember exactly, but they are in numerical order, and they make sense.
They make sense to me because I've lived in this region for the last twenty something years.
After the fourth day of driving in Spain, I start to "get it." I didn't totally get it, but I started to get it a little. I got it enough to feel like I was on my way to being more confident with those signs.
Want to know what the trick was?
IGNORE THE NOISE.
The signs in Spain are too noisy. There is too much superfluous writing on the signs, and to read it all would mean to slow down and probably be a danger to cars behind you. Reading every single thing is too much, it takes too much time, and it's not (always) important.
Knowing what you can and should ignore is a terrific skill, both when driving in a foreign country with weird-to-you signs and when navigating a job search, which for many of us, is foreign territory.
Because it's all new, we tend to be hyper-sensitive to stimuli… articles that say this, videos that say that, and too much contradiction. Worse, there's plenty of bad advice that really gets people mixed up (like, "if you aren't on google, you don't exist." Or worse, "you must use Twitter in your job search.") Both of those can be good, but not if you aren't doing any fundamentals. If you aren't figuring out how to do the basics, then the advice to get on Twitter and do your job search there is harmful noise.
In your job search, figure out what is noise, and ignore the noise.
This is a SKILL that you can learn and improve. At first it will be pretty confusing but as you find your groove you'll figure out what you can ignore, and what you need to focus on.
To your career success!

Recreational sports offers students other options
Mallory Fogus September 25, 2013 in OPINION Tagged CCL, Fogus, Mallory, Rec. Soccer - 3 Minutes
Recreational Soccer Player kicking the ball to his teammate
Most students attending DHS are involved in a myriad of activities and as the school year approaches, classes and homework become more demanding, not leaving much time for extracurricular activities.
For students like senior Olivia Shelton, who is heavily involved with NHS, an International Baccalaureate Certificate candidate and works a steady job, it's hard to find time to participate in school sponsored sports. Recreational sports such as basketball through the Midland Community Center and soccer through the Midland Soccer Club, give a nice relaxed alternative to the demanding school sanctioned athletics. Shelton use to play school sponsored sports until she suffered a season ending injury that caused her to rethink about playing the following year.
"I injured my knee and I decided it was best for my injury to not play that intensely with school ball," Shelton said.
That following year she had found an alternative for school basketball, by playing in the Community Center League.
"I played CCL and it was fun because it brought a ton of girls from past travel basketball teams together and we were able to hold our own with the boys," Shelton said.
Other DHS students find recreational sports to be a good alternative to school sports because of the reduced time commitment.
"School basketball took up a lot of time and for school teams, you have practice everyday which makes it hard to get homework done [and] be in bed at reasonable time," senior Blair Subbaraman said. "On my CCL team, we don't have practices, everyone just shows up on game day ready to play."
Shelton also agrees that it is nice to have a break from school work that doesn't take up too much time.
"Because practice isn't as strenuous and time-consuming, it gives a nice break for exercise but doesn't take up the whole evening," Shelton said.
Recreational sports also provide an opportunity for people to play on the same team as their friends that are new to the sport or those who don't quite reach the skill set necessary for school sports that have try-outs.
"There is no way I would have ever made the school basketball team because I'm new to the sport and haven't really ever played it until I joined a CCL team," senior Brandon Woo said. "I just like to play CCL so I can play on the same team as my friends and have fun and compete with them.
Along with basketball, recreational soccer has become an increasingly popular sport for DHS students. Many of the students who play recreational soccer never played for the school but played when they were younger. Some do it because it's a fun way to stay in shape and exercise.
"I never played school soccer, but it's just a fun way to keep active and do something new and fun with friends," Shelton said.
Recreational sports have been know to have less intense competition because a majority of the more skilled players in a sport play for their school teams. This is one of the hardest things former school players go through.
"I do miss it because there's certain teams you just wanted to beat pretty badly so it's kind of hard to watch when you're like, 'oh I wish I could be playing'," Shelton said.
Recreational sports provides students with busy schedules who focus hard on their academics an opportunity to play the sports they love. Although it may be hard for former students to adjust, they also create a less competitive atmosphere where students can play with their friends, a chance to exercise and a place to have a lot of fun.

Discussion in 'Wheels & Tires' started by PatheticJoe, Dec 20, 2007.
I'm driving from Sacramento to Denver for Christmas and although it looks like the weather will hold off for me I'm wondering if I should lower my tire pressures for a little more grip. I have them at 37 psi now.
It's the same, I run the pressure high for the gas mileage. Would you run less than 29 psi in the snow on your truck or just leave it alone?
Your as bad off as me, I've only been in snow 5 times or so and it wasn't for any length of time.
37psi? You're kidneys must be feelin' it.
29psi is the recommended on stock tires/wheels. I run around 32psi (and I can FEEL the difference). I'm leaving mine at 32psi. But then again, I have 210lbs in the bed and an LSD - so I don't worry to much.
But definately air down from 37psi....youre kidneys will thank you.
I recently had my tire pressure indicator light come on and I could not figure out why...all my tires were at the recommended 29PSI, but when I took it to the dealership they said to run them higher in the winter because the pressure drops in colder weather. So they filled them up to about 32 and all is good now.
Depending on the tires you have you should not need to run at a lower pressure. I have the BFG Rugged Trails on my FJ right now and they do just fine for me in the snow and ice at 34psi. However when I'm wheeling I generally run between 15-20psi. Don't run that on pavement because you will end up bruising the inside of the tire which could lead to a blowout.
My `01 has two stickers on the door jamb (maybe because TRD package)and I might be mistaken but I think the one sticker for 265/70-16s says 26 psi.I wouldn`t recommend lowering the pressure to help traction in the snow,but I would double check your manual, 37psi seems way high.The pressure on the side of the tire is usually MAXimum recommended pressure,like if you wre hauling extremely heavy loads.

Greece Is More Than Just a Tourist Destination
By George Monastiriakos
File - Tourists visit the Acropolis hill with the 2,500-year-old Parthenon temple on the left, and the ancient Erechtheion temple on the right, in Athens , on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022. (AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris)
Greece, a country of less than 11 million people, welcomed over 33 million tourists in 2019. Despite its well-earned reputation, the birthplace of democracy and the cradle of Western civilization is more than just a tourist destination. In fact, Greece's strategic location at the intersection of Europe, Asia, and Africa makes it indispensable for NATO's collective defense and crucial for solving the European energy crisis.
In Crete, Souda Bay provides NATO with the only deep-water port in southern Europe and the eastern Mediterranean. Referred to as the 'jewel in the crown' of the military alliance, Souda Bay is a natural harbor with world class facilities that enables NATO to host and maintain the largest aircraft carriers in its fleet. This includes the USS Harry S. Truman, and France's Charles De Gaulle. Given its geographic proximity to North Africa and the Middle East, Souda Bay also helps the Western alliance project power on two distinct fronts. This ranges from managing migration patterns in the eastern Mediterranean to monitoring the UNSC arms embargo on Libya.
In Thrace, the port of Alexandroupolis provides NATO with an invaluable military logistics hub at the crossroads of three NATO countries – Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey. Naturally, its strategic location enables NATO to project power in the Black Sea and the Balkans. On the one hand, this heightened presence bolsters NATO's southern and eastern flanks while supporting allied operations in Bulgaria and Romania. On the other hand, it also empowers NATO to maintain peace in the western Balkans and reinforce the Kosovo Force (KFOR) should the need arise.
Since invading Ukraine, Russia has also weaponized gas and provoked an energy crisis in Europe. Naturally, this has jeopardized European gas supplies and caused the cost of gas to skyrocket for households. Winter is coming, and Europe is struggling to deal with this crisis. As a leader in energy diversity, energy security and energy transition, Greece has an important role to play in solving these challenges.
Besides being a military logistics center, Greece plans to turn Alexandroupolis into an energy hub. On the one hand, the port's strategic location enables it to serve as a gateway for gas entering the European market from Asia and the Middle East. On the other hand, its proximity to the Balkans and Italy incentivizes Greece and its partners to invest in infrastructure projects to strengthen the interconnectivity of natural gas networks in the region.
For instance, the Southern Gas Corridor transports gas from the Caspian Sea through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey to Greece. There, it connects to Albania and Italy via the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). Although the TAP's current operational capacity is 10 billion cubic meters per annum (bcm/a), it was designed to deliver up to 20 bcm/a. To put that into perspective, 20 bcm/a is enough energy to power 14 million homes in Europe.
Furthermore, the Gas-Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB), scheduled to begin gas deliveries by October 10, will enable Bulgaria to import non-Russian gas for the first time in its history. To complement the IGB, the Alexandroupolis Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, will provide up to 5.5 bcm/a of natural gas to the Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian, and North Macedonian energy markets. The list goes on and on, but Greece has an important role to play in Europe's energy diversification and ending the West's addiction to Russian fossil fuels.
All of this is compounded by Greece's role as a global freight and logistics center. More than 80% of international trade volume is carried by sea, and few countries are so inextricably linked to maritime transportation as Greece. Piraeus, for its part, is the busiest port in the eastern Mediterranean. In addition, Greece ranks first globally in ownership of merchandise vessels and Greek shipowners control up to 18% of global carrying capacity. What's more, Greece's proximity to the Turkish straits, where more than 40 000 vessels carrying up to 650 million tons of cargo pass every year, amplifies its strategic importance in global maritime trade. To illustrate one facet of this strategic importance, consider that up to 400 million people worldwide rely on Ukrainian food supplies shipped from the Black Sea through the Turkish straits and into the Aegean Sea.
It is evident that Greece's strategic location at the intersection of three continents serves as a bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa. More than a tourist destination, Greece is indispensable for NATO's collective defense and crucial for solving the European energy crisis.

Bankruptcy Courts Empowered To Issue Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on Stern Claims
On June 9, 2014, the United States Supreme Court issued Executive Benefits Insurance Agency v. Arkison, No. 12-1200 (Jun. 9, 2014), which expanded its holding in Stern v. Marshall, 131 S. Ct. 2594 (2011), and expressly permits Bankruptcy Courts to issue proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law on so-called "Stern claims." A "Stern claim" is a "claim designated for final adjudication in the bankruptcy court as a statutory matter, but prohibited from proceeding in that way as a constitutional matter." Exec. Benefits Ins. Agency, No. 12-1200, slip op. at 4.
Since the Stern decision in 2011, it was unclear whether a Bankruptcy Court had jurisdiction to determine core Stern claims. Bankruptcy Courts are explicitly vested with the power to "hear and determine" and "enter appropriate orders and judgments" on core proceedings. 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(1). In contrast, with respect to non-core proceedings, unless the parties agree otherwise, Bankruptcy Courts are required to submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law for the district court's de novo review. Id. § 157(c)(1). Thus, in the wake of Stern, because section 157(b) does not explicitly authorize the Bankruptcy Court to make proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law, it has been questioned whether the Bankruptcy Court has the power to act on Stern claims or whether the District Court must hear and determine them.
The Supreme Court's holding yesterday provides that Stern claims may be heard and determined as non-core proceedings. The Court found that the severability provision in section 157(c) allowed for any Stern claim to be treated as a non-core proceeding. As such, the Bankruptcy Court "should hear the proceeding and submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to the district court for de novo review and entry of judgment." Exec. Benefits Ins. Agency, No. 12-1200, slip op. at 10.
Takeaway: Although this decision confirms that Bankruptcy Courts may issue proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to Stern claims, that does not significantly change practice, as many District and Bankruptcy Courts imposed similar procedures in response to the Stern decision. Rather, more importantly, the Supreme Court declined to address whether parties may, expressly or impliedly, consent to a final judgment on a Stern claim by the Bankruptcy Court. Id. at 4 n.4. Thus, it remains unclear whether parties may, through explicit agreement or through silence, agree to allow the Bankruptcy Court to issue a final decision on a Stern claim.

Google Drive: A Comprehensive Guide to the Cloud Storage
IT TECH REVIEWS
by Abigail | 23 November 2020
Google Drive is one of the most used international cloud storage services at the moment. It's a top option for both individuals and businesses that want a secure space to store their most important files. And unlike other cloud storage services that offer limited upgrades, Google Drive provides around six tiers of upgrade options to make the most of your experience. It's also the first cloud storage provider to incorporate automatic file syncing, file collaboration, and file conversion within its interface.
Find out just what makes Google Drive stand out as a cloud storage provider and why the service is worth the long-term investment.

What is Google Drive Cloud Storage?
Google Drive is a top-rated cloud storage and file synchronization platform from Google. You can keep documents, videos, photos, music, and more on Google Drive. The files you store on the Drive can be accessed across multiple devices. The platform also works much like an online cloud storage platform in that files are synchronized across devices and users are also given the ability to share files with others via Gmail.
You can use it with Google Office Suite, including software like Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and more. With this, you can create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations online. The software is also one of the first to introduce collaboration features that let users work on the same document over different networks and locations.
Google Drive is a freemium service that comes with a Google account. Anyone who signs up for a Google Account gets free access to Google Drive plus 15GB of storage. But as a freemium model, certain features and additional storage are reserved for those who will sign up for monthly or annual subscriptions.
The initial amount of free storage also depends on the type of subscription that a person or business signed up for (i.e. G Suite for Business, Google Essentials, etc.). Google Drive is mainly available as a web-based application that allows users to see their files on any internet-connected computer. A desktop and mobile versions of the software were also released for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS devices. Google discontinued the desktop application in early 2017 and replaced it with similar software called Backup and Sync.
What are the Storage Options for Google Drive?
Photo by krzysztof-m via Pixabay
Google Drive offers storage upgrade options in freemium-style fashion. All individual users automatically get 15GB of free storage, which they can upgrade to varying storage options for a price. Upgrade options start with 100GB for $19.99 per year, 200GB for $29.99 per year, and 2TB for $99.99 per year. If you have much higher storage requirements, you can go for higher storage options at 10TB for $99.99 per month or 20TB for $199.99 per month. The most you can pay for with Google Drive storage is 30TB for $299.99 per month.
Meanwhile, users who are subscribed to group-based packages like G Suite or the Google Business packages get more free storage. Google Business Starter customers get 30GB of free storage. Meanwhile, those subscribed to the Business Standard package get 2TB of free storage, while those in Business Plus get 5TB of free storage. You can customize the enterprise package per your own preferences.
What are the Important Features of Google Drive?
Photo by Google Drive
Google Drive is a cloud-based application, which means it lets users access files across multiple devices with the same account. The software is very user-friendly and is an excellent option for both individuals and businesses searching for a reliable yet inexpensive office suite.
Google Drive is equipped with the tools necessary to help you collaborate or communicate with others. The software pairs excellently with other apps on the Google software like Google Calendar, Google Classroom, and more. For a more detailed discussion, here are some of its best features:
Photo by Mohamed_hassan via Pixabay
Google Drive is also one of the first cloud storage services to allow file-sharing between loved ones and coworkers at no additional cost. As a sender, the software lets you create a shareable link of any file or folder. You can also configure the type of access other people can have in interacting with the file. You can set file permissions either to anyone with the link can view/comment/edit or manually select who will have special permissions when interacting with the file.
File-sharing is conveniently done through shareable links. You can copy and paste the shareable link onto an email or to any other platform, or send the link itself via a customized email. You can share these files with people even if they aren't signed into Google.
All you have to do is to make the file public, and it's open to anyone who gets a copy of the link from that point on. Take note, though, that file permissions have expiry dates, after which you might have to give them permission again. You can switch file sharing on or off at any time before or after you've shared the link.
As a recipient of a file, you will be able to view, edit, or comment on the file. The software makes the process very intuitive and easy to understand. The program itself is also equipped to stream music and video files straight from the Google Drive interface. Another thing we need to note is that there are maximum file sizes per type of file that you can upload to Google Drive, although there's no limit for downloads.
Compatibility With Most File Types
Photo by kreatikar via Pixabay
One of the absolute best things about Google Drive is that it's compatible with almost all file types. You can store any file without having to convert them first. The software accepts a wide range of file formats across several categories. You can basically upload documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, videos, and more, for as long as they follow the software's accepted file formats. The service is compatible with all Adobe files, Microsoft files, and Apple file formats. This means both Windows and Mac users can directly upload their work without any fuss.
File Syncing
Google Drive was one of the first cloud storage options to let users sync almost any folder or file from your computer to cloud storage. This was originally done through the Google Drive desktop app, but the Backup and Sync app took over the responsibility. Just like the original app, Backup and Sync lets you store and sync content from the computer towards the online cloud.
You can download and sync your whole Drive folder or only specific ones if you wish. You can also download Backup and Sync for each of your computers or devices. The changes you make within any device will reflect on the Drive. You can upload files from your computer onto the Drive and vice versa. Any file you upload directly to Google Drive will also show up on the local folder.
Backup and Sync also lets you control what Google Drive will do to files that you delete. You can instruct the Drive to delete both copies of the file without asking you first. Alternatively, you can also set it so that it will keep files on the app after you delete it from your computer.
The app will automatically detect photos from different locations on your computer and upload them to Google Photos. Please note that while it may be a great tool for keeping copies, it shouldn't be used as a platform to restore your files. The software can't rescue files that have been accidentally deleted or corrupted. If you want to know more about Google Drive uploads and downloads, check out this piece discussing how to upload and download files from Google Drive.

Ease of use is an area that Google Drive has an advantage over all other cloud services. Creating a Google Drive account has never been so easy as it's tied to most of the services that Google provides. If you've ever used any other services like Gmail, Google+, YouTube, Calendar, etc., you would most likely have an account ready for Google Drive. And if you've never used Gmail and the other services, setting up an account is also very simple and straightforward. Google Drive is conveniently located on the Google apps Menu within Gmail, and its distinctive logo could not be mistaken for another application.
The Google Drive interface is simple and sophisticated, and it's quite easy to navigate even for a newbie. File-sharing and folder permissions are also straightforward, and you need to know what the link-sharing button looks like to initiate it. Google Drive also allows you to preview and edit all documents from MS Office, Google Docs, or Apple directly in the browser via the Google Docs integration. You can also preview images, videos, music, and other media files through apps provided in Google Drive. Google Drive also features other helpful apps on the right-hand taskbar. This includes tools like Google Keep, Google Calendar, or Google Tasks, which can be accessed without leaving the Google Drive interface.
Upload Speed and File Size Limitations

There are two ways to upload files on Google Drive. The first requires you to sign in to Google Drive on a computer and click on the File Upload function on the Drive. The second requires the drag and drop method onto the Backup and Sync folder (which appears as Google Drive) on your computer. Both methods are equally effective for uploading files, but the total speed of upload depends largely on the quality of your internet connection.
Take note that your speeds will appear slow if you are processing lots of little files compared to one big file because of the processing overhead on each file. This is where a speedy and reliable internet connection comes in. Check out this piece on the ideal upload and download internet speeds to check whether your internet is up for the task.
There are three ways that a file will be uploaded to Google Drive. It happens when you send or receive a file or folder through email or shareable links or when a file or folder is shared with you via Google Drive. You should also note that Google Drive has set limits to the file size per type of document that you can upload. For this, you can only set up to 2MB for Docs, 20 MB for Sheets, and 50 MB for Slides.
You can upload larger files, but Drive won't automatically convert it to its supported formats. Similarly, you will also not be able to download any file that was the software has deemed to be in violation of fair usage rules. To save on cloud space, you might want to consider zipping the files you want to share.

Google Drive benefits from advanced security protocols used by Google for most of its software. Google Drive uses 256-bit socket layered online protection (SSL) for files in transit and 128-bit AES keys for storage files. SSL secures files on route to and from the cloud storage by establishing encrypted links between a server and a client during data transfer. It's the same type of security protocol being used for Gmail and other Google services. When your files are at rest, Google uses a lesser but still strong 128-bit encryption instead.
Other than these basic security protocols, the software also provides users with the option to add two-step verification as an added layer of protection. This feature sends two sets of information, such as a password and a one-time passcode to one of your devices. The purpose is to verify your identity before providing access to your Google account.
Enabling two-factor authentication prevents hackers from getting into your account even if they managed to get your password. Google has also created a bypass mechanism for when you forget your password or lose your two-factor device. This will allow you to recover your account either through a backup email or an associated phone number.
Google also regularly undertakes third-party audits and certifications; it has received certifications for compliance with ISO/IEC 27001 standards. Google also recently rolled out an optional feature for iPhone and iPad devices called Privacy Screen, which allows users to use face or fingerprint ID to open Google Drive. If you're still not satisfied with these protocols, we highly recommend getting a VPN. A VPN obscures your IP address online to ensure complete anonymity with your online activities. Check out this guide on how to set up a VPN and start using one today.

Most cloud storage providers offer free storage, but Google Drive far exceeds the free storage amount provided. Dropbox's free plan offers just 2GB of free storage, which one Drive comes with 5GB of free storage. Google Drive, on the other hand, offers up to 15GB of storage right off the bat. Google Drive is also reasonably priced and mid-ranged compared to OneDrive and Dropbox. Let's make a comparison.
Dropbox's first option for an upgrade is 2TB, which costs $9.99 per month or $120 per year. Meanwhile, both Google Drive and One Drive start off their options for an upgrade at 100GB. Both services charge $1.99 per month for this amount of storage. When it comes to the most storage you can buy, Dropbox offers a maximum of 3TB for $19.99 per month. OneDrive offers a maximum of 5TB of storage for just $9.99 per month.
Google Drive doesn't offer 5TB of storage, but it does offer 10TB for $99.99 per month. If we analyze this carefully, it would appear that Google Drive is actually cheaper than Dropbox but a little more expensive than OneDrive where the 100GB to 5TB storage options are concerned. Even then, none of the competition can match the number of options provided by Google Drive.
Most of the other cloud storage providers do not have options for 10TB, 20TB, or much less 30TB. Although it may appear as though $299.99 per month for 30TB of storage is excessive, consider that 30TB is equal to more than 300 times a standard 100GB storage. The cost also boils down to $10 per 1TB per month, which is already a discounted price compared to other cloud storage services that charge up to $25 dollars per month per terabyte.
What Are the Alternatives to Google Drive That I Can Try?
Cloud storage has changed how the world captures and retrieves data. Gone are the days when we filled rooms with filing cabinets just sitting there, taking up space, time, and manpower to sift through. Lucky for us, a wide selection of cloud services is now available to meet our data storage needs. Even Google Drive has its drawbacks, and some people don't like the fact that Google stores information about its users. Here's the lowdown on five of the best alternative cloud storage solutions similar to Google Drive:
Photo by Dropbox
Dropbox is, hands-down, the most popular alternative to Google Drive. The service was one of the first to introduce drag and drop functions onto a local folder to sync files onto the cloud. The software also fits seamlessly with any Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS device. Uploading and downloading files are intuitively formatted. It also lets you give other people access to files and folders with no file size restrictions.
Dropbox's web interface is also arguably one of the best in this list, with appealing aesthetics and a minimalistic interface that anyone can navigate. Users will absolutely love the fact that files and folders on this Drive open in a flash, and media can be played straight from the web interface. There's also a plethora of other options available with just a click or two. The Dropbox mobile also offers the same clean layout and slick functionality, so you can get all of your files and folders easily and upload files from smaller devices.
Dropbox also introduced Paper, a collaborative feature that is very similar to Google Docs in form and function. Like Google Docs, Paper allows users to work on any document at the same time. The software is also blessed with a powerful built-in search function that allows you to search for titles and text within documents. The only standing complaint about Dropbox that most people have, however, is the limited options for upgrade and storage capacities. Users only get 2GB of free storage at the start, but at least the free storage is available for free indefinitely. The only other options for upgrade are Dropbox Plus with 2TB of storage and Dropbox Professional with 3TB of storage. People who need more than 3TB would have to look elsewhere.
Photo by pCloud
pCloud is a Swiss-based cloud storage service provider that was established in 2013. Despite its relatively young age, the cloud service provider has proven itself to be at the same level as more mature platforms. For starters, the software has a clean and intuitive interface. The software comes complete with a helper Wizard at the top to assist you should you get lost. pCloud also has clients for all major desktop operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS devices.
The software allows file sharing with friends and family without much effort and with no corresponding storage limits. If you want to share files via shareable links, pCloud will offer you two options: the first will allow recipients for the link to download the content of the folder, while the second will give them added permission to upload files onto the folder as well. The software also includes built-in audio and video players that enable you to play the shared media right through the software. You can even create slideshows from photos on your pCloud account. You can get photos from your own photo collection or shared with you by someone else. Your pCloud account can also connect to your social media account to backup photos and media files.
The desktop app also allows you to drag and drop any local folder to get a copy of it onto the cloud, and any changes that you make will be synced onto the cloud as well. Block-level syncing for existing files, which means only modified portions of the files are uploaded to reduce bandwidth usage and to save upload time. The software also has advanced security protocols in place and uses mainly SSL/TLS encrypted channels to transfer files, along with two-factor authentication for added security.
Photo by OneDrive
OneDrive is one of the most recent additions to the cloud storage front and is Microsoft's attempt at keeping up with Dropbox and Google Drive. Being a Microsoft product, the software is conveniently integrated with the MS Office Suite and works perfectly well with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and all other Office applications. The basic free plan from OneDrive lets you store 5GB of data, followed by 100GB or 1TB storage upgrades. Individual users can get the 100GB upgrade independently, while the 1TB upgrade comes with a Microsoft 365 subscription. Microsoft 365 (formerly known as Office 365) includes the complete software set under the MS Office Suite.
Like most cloud storage services, OneDrive lets you share files and folders with friends and colleagues. A file collaboration feature also lets you work on files with other people at the same time. This can be done either through a desktop application or the web interface. The software is also able to play audio and video right through the interface. Backup functions of the OneDrive are quite similar to Google Drive: you can manually select the files and folders that you want to back up or simply drag and drop the files onto the local OneDrive folder to have them sync automatically.
OneDrive also has a unique system recovery feature that restores folders to an earlier version. This feature is useful for when your files get overwritten, corrupted, or deleted. When it comes to security, the software employs two-factor authentication to prevent potential hackers from impersonating the owner. There's also 256-bit encryption for files in place, plus a PIN-protected vault inside your encrypted OneDrive account. It's also important to note that Microsoft stores data in multiple data servers across the U.S. to guard against potential data loss.
Photo by Sync
Sync is a simple, speedy, and secure storage solution that's been under the radar for a few years. As can be gleaned from the software's name, the program syncs a single folder of data between your computers and the cloud. Most other cloud storage solutions already sync outside the main folder. Still, this small detail does not detract from its ability to sync files efficiently. And whatever deficiencies it appears to have with regards to syncing, it makes up for in security features. The software employs two-factor authentication, end-to-end encryption, AES-256-bit encryption, and the use of secure TLS tunnels. These security protocols ensure the anonymity of your files en route to and from the Sync servers.
Like most other cloud storage providers, the software uploads files through a downloadable data client or in-browser. However, the data client is recommended for faster uploading. The software allows file sharing with friends and colleagues. There's also support for advanced sharing controls with password protection and corresponding expiry dates on the links. The software also supports file versioning, which essentially keeps older versions of your files for your reference. Once you've made the jump to a premium subscription, you will be allowed to keep older versions of your files indefinitely and the space they take up will not be subtracted from your quota.
Sync doesn't have flashy features like other cloud storage services, but it does cover the basic functions of an efficiently syncing system, plenty of storage, and impressive security features. Its web interface is also minimalistic and very easy to use. The basic free plan for Sync gives you 5GB of free storage. But you can upgrade this storage option later on to 1TB,4TB, or 10TB for corresponding annual fees.
Photo by iDrive
iDrive is a comprehensive and user-friendly cloud backup solution with added storage and synchronization features. As a cloud backup solution, the main purpose of iDrive is to copy your files onto secure cloud storage. Backup solutions are particularly important for the long-term storage of your most important files. The software offers plans for personal, small business, and enterprise use. The software also offers packages for backing up servers and personal devices. This makes it one of the most versatile and reliable cloud storage options available.
With iDrive, you can back up anything from individual files and folders to the entire contents of your computer or hard Drive onto online storage. You can initiate backups manually or set up scheduled backups. Automatic backups can have daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. The regular backups typically store multiple versions of your files onto the cloud. The software doesn't delete files without your consent. A unique feature called Snapshots lets you store up to 30 different versions of your files at a time. Users can back up as many devices as their storage capacity allows.
iDrive Express is another exciting feature that lets you transfer terabytes-worth of information via hard drive. What will happen is iDrive will send you a temporary storage device. You can use this device to backup all the data on your computer plus other devices. You'll need to return the temporary storage to iDrive, who will handle the encrypted upload of the data onto the cloud. The entire process can take anywhere from two to five business days, depending on your data scale. The program also uses block-level syncing, which means only modified portions of the files are uploaded to reduce bandwidth usage and to save on upload time.
Final Thoughts on Google Drive

Google Drive is a well-designed and efficient cloud storage system for your everyday storage needs. It is the easiest way to share information and active documents between coworkers, family members, and people you care about. It's also the most adaptable cloud storage, owing to the variety of third-party integrations and support for different file types. The software makes it easy to access your files across multiple devices on any location with an internet connection. Its file-collaboration features allow everyone to get the files they need when they need it. And if you think about it, the service is permanently free for as long as have a Google account. There's also plenty of room to upgrade your storage depending on how much you need. If you are on the market for safe, reliable, and affordable file storage with file collaboration features, Google Drive comes highly recommended.

Nmap is short for Network Mapper. It is an open source security tool for network exploration, security scanning and auditing. However, nmap command comes with lots of options that can make the utility more robust and difficult to follow for new users. The purpose of this post is to introduce a user to the nmap command line tool to scan a host and/or network, so to find out the possible vulnerable points in the hosts. You will also learn how to use Nmap for offensive and defensive purposes. Let us see some common nmap command examples.
What is Nmap and what is it used for?
wks01 is your computer either running Linux/OS X or Unix like operating system. It is used for scanning your local network. The nmap command must be installed on this computer.
server1 can be powered by Linux / Unix / MS-Windows operating systems. This is an unpatched server. Feel free to install a few services such as a web-server, file server and so on.
server2 can be powered by Linux / Unix / MS-Windows operating systems. This is a fully patched server with firewall. Again, feel free to install few services such as a web-server, file server and so on.
All three systems are connected via switch.
How do I install nmap?

#15: How do I scan specific ports?
#17: How do I detect remote operating system?

The nmap command has many more options, please go through man page or the documentation for more information. What are some of your favorite nmap command-line tricks? Share your favorite tips, tricks, and advice in the comments below.
Is there maybe a way to become the netmask of a known host, IP address???
but I've to put my interface in the same netmask range as the host, before I'm able to connect to it.
Excellent document. The examples given illustrate the operation of the nmap command. Congratulations for the initiative.
I found this article very helpful. I'm definitely saving this Bookmark for future reference. I've been using "nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24" for a very long time just to see which clients are online. OS Detect is also very useful in Armitage and Metasploit. Long live Linux!
what does nmap –sn –PI 192.168.1.0/24 do?
Anyone got any examples of using nmap to generate a RARP message?
One of the uses for nmap, as stated above, is to "find out if the system is infected with malware or virus." How is this accomplished? Are you referring to using the script, http-malware-host?
Very very useful and simple commands! Thank you.
Several places mentioned the -PN switch, but this is depreciated, use -Pn instead.
requested functions as if each target IP is active. To skip ping scan and port scan, while still allowing NSE to run, use the two options -Pn -sn together.
For machines on a local ethernet network, ARP scanning will still be performed (unless –send-ip is specified) because Nmap needs MAC addresses to further scan target hosts. In previous versions of Nmap, -Pn was -P0.
Thanks for this very usefull post!!
I love namp. Great post Sir.

Kuwait top court confirms jail for tweeter
Kuwait's supreme court has confirmed a 10-year jail term for an activist convicted of using Twitter to insult the emir and call for the overthrow of the regime, a report said on Tuesday.
Al Jarida newspaper said the verdict against Orance Al Rasheedi, who was also convicted of spreading false news about Kuwait to undermine the oil-rich country's image, is final and cannot be challenged.
Rasheedi was accused of using the social networking sites Twitter and YouTube to publicly insult the emir, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al Sabah, who is protected against criticism by Kuwait's constitution.
The lower court meted out the sentence against Rasheedi in October 2011 and the court of appeals upheld it in May last year.
Kuwait has in the past few months intensified its clampdown on Internet activists who allegedly violate the country's laws, especially since the opposition began staging demonstrations to protest amendments to the electoral law.
The courts have already jailed several activists and many others are awaiting trial.


Just see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bulliver already...if you wan't some personal dirt.
Basically I just upload some of the photos that I take. I take a lot of pictures which may or may not be appropriate for Wikimedia/Wikipedia. I generally always license them CC-BY-SA as long as they don't have recognizable people in them, so feel free to plunder my Flickr and upload away if you think the photos can be of use here. All I ask is that you leave a note on my talk page telling which shots you have uploaded, as I do sometimes go on a spree and upload my own shots. It seems to come and go in spurts. Also, I only upload shots resized to 1600px on the long side to Flickr, so depending on which camera I am using for any particular shot...the original will be much larger. Eventually I get around to replacing all shots other folks upload from my flickr to here with the original size. Here's an Image Gallery of all my photographs (that I know of) that either me or someone else has uploaded to commons.

Light, airy and free from clutter the Vibrissa Log Cabin offers the perfect combination of style and storage. This log cabin will be perfectly suited to the corner of your garden because of its unique shape and innovative construction.
Having had quite an awkward space to fit my cabin into, I chose the vibrissa and have not been let down. It has been a great addition to my garden by providing an additional space to relax in during the summer, and I am also able to hide my garden equipment and other bits and bobs in the shed area. I was kept informed at all stages of the process and have been left a very happy customer.
Stunnind design and excellent quality!
Me and my wife loved the look of this building and thought it was the perfect cabin for what we needed something with a great storage soltuion and yet can be used as a stunning garden room. Happy with the service, good work Tiger Sheds!
I was searching for something to give my garden that finishing touch! I'm so glad I came across this product as it looks great and I haven't even finished with it yet! Very good quality and company!
I have been looking for a while at corner log cabins and this looks the best, for sure. It was fairly easy to make (took one day) and delivery was on time as promised. Very good! I will recommend!
Very prompt delivery - easy to assemble. Very pleased with this product.
Light, airy and free from clutter the Vibrissa Log Cabin offers the perfect combination of style and storage. This log cabin will be perfectly suited to the corner of your garden because of its unique shape and innovative construction. This design, which was inspired by the desire to create a beautiful living space forged seamlessly with an area of outdoor storage space, will bring elegance to any garden. With this in mind you can be assured that this will be one escape that shouldn't build up clutter. Made with high-grade 28mm finish interlocking logs, the Vibrissa is as strong and secure as it is functional, meaning like all our of cabins it will last for years to come.
The key to this delightful cabin is the inclusion of an integrated 4ft storage area which is discretely partitioned from the main building and features its own lockable door. The front of the Vibrissa log cabin is complimented by the inclusion of European style fully glazed double doors offering easy access to the spacious interior. Supplementing the doors are attractive brass handles and a high security 3-lever lock. The log cabin also features two fantastic joiner made two pane opening windows which are fully draft sealed and key lockable for additional security.
Unlike many budget competitor products, Vibrissa Log Cabins are built with only the highest quality materials and many log cabins in the market simply cannot compare!
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature high-grade 28mm interlocking planned and finished logs – beware of log cabins that feature rough edged boards machined from poor quality timber.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature a specially designed 4-way chamfered notch-joint system ensuring a tight fit to all boards with little room for damp or wind penetration – beware of log cabins that feature square cut logs with square notch-joint, often leaving a sloppy joint with large visible gaps.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature factory fitted pressure treated weatherproof heavy duty floor joists – beware of log cabins with untreated floor joists which offer no protection against damp penetration at floor level or worse still cabins that come with no floor joists at all.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature heavy duty green mineral roofing felt as standard, with the easy option to upgrade to premium quality roof shingles – beware of log cabins that come with no roof covering, leaving the log cabin completely open to the elements.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature oversized extra large doors and windows – most competitor log cabins use narrow doors which can prove difficult for access.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature key-lockable opening windows and all doors and windows are professionally draft sealed – beware of log cabins with cheap, ill-fitting doors and windows that cannot be properly secured and are susceptible to the weather.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature high quality glazing which is factory silliconed and internally beaded to all doors and windows – beware of log cabins that feature lesser quality materials and provide no window beading.
VIBRISSA LOG CABINS feature a generous all round roof overhang which protects the building from severe conditions – beware of log cabins with little or no roof overhanging leaving them vulnerable to the wind and rain.
It is essential that our log cabins are assembled strictly in accordance with the instructions supplied on a firm and level base constructed from a suitably durable material. The log cabins should also be treated as soon as is practical after assembly and then annually thereafter with an appropriate high quality preservative.
For more information on how to correctly assemble and maintain your log cabins please consult our comprehensive help centre.
All images and photography of log cabins are used purely for illustrative purposes only – actual product colours may vary slightly due to the digital photography process and variations in individual user monitor settings.
