Be Afraid! But, Fear Not!
There is a fear that is gripping this land and while some may feel this is unpleasant and undesirable – it is of the Lord.
Especially in this past year, intercessors have been praying that the Fear of the Lord would permeate the atmosphere over our nation and, indeed, this is what we are experiencing. Many who are saying they "are afraid" are actually experiencing the Fear of the Lord. They may think it is the fear of man or what "man" might do to them, but it is actually the Fear of the Lord that is working in their hearts and minds.
Last year I had an open vision within a dream about this happening. You can read the entire word here. In this vision, I knew I was seeing God's glory begin to cover the earth and it carried with it the Fear of the Lord. For those whose hearts were aligned to His, it was glorious and resulted in awe and worship. But, for those whose hearts were divided and set against Him, it brought dread and terror.
The very thing that many are trying to prevent or "fix" is actually the very tool that the Lord is using to cause godly conviction to rest upon men's hearts. What they are "fearing" is not man, but God Himself. Especially for those whose conscience is seared due to sin and rebellion, they are the ones voicing it the loudest. Without understanding the cause for their fears, they will continue to slide into rebellion and totally miss the mercy of God.
We need to pray that this Fear of the Lord continues to rest upon our nation in order to cleanse hearts and renew minds. It is only the Fear of the Lord that can fix the crack in the foundation of our country due to sin and rebellion against God in high places.
Our collective mindset has become so entrenched in the fear of man that we have lost the true Fear of the Lord. Our culture has taught us to so fear offending one another, we have ended up offending God! This is why the Fear of the Lord is so powerful in bringing the sons and daughters to the Father. It is meant to keep our hearts pure and holy before Him in order to receive our full inheritance and blessing. It is not sent for punishment or subjection, but for our good, our prosperity, and our joy.
We can encourage those who are feeling afraid by directing them to the heart of a loving Father. This fatherless generation needs an encounter with the Father's love! The freedom that they are longing for will not come by doing as they please, but in recognizing this immense Love and Goodness. The identity they are looking for can only be found in Him. The fear they believe is coming from man can be transformed into a thing of beauty once they have a revelation of the Father's heart.
Yes, be afraid! But, fear not! Our Father is drawing us closer to His heart in order to manifest His glory in unprecedented ways. Do not avoid this, but embrace it and let it do it's work. Yield to His Lordship and trust in His unfailing love to dispel every other fear until there is nothing left but His glory.

On Thursday, Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu and his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu were given a clean chit in the Amritsar train mishap case. The train tragedy that took place on October 19 in which more than 61 people were killed. Over 70 were injured when people were watching the burning of the Ravana effigy from near and on the railway track.
Since the incident, Sidhu has been in the line of fire. His wife was the chief guest at the Dussehra event.
In this case, B Purushartha was appointed as a Special Executive Magistrate to look into the tragedy. The 300-page investigation report says, Sidhu and his wife has been given given a clean chit.
According to sources, Sidhu got a clean chit because he was not present in Amritsar that day. His wife, although the chief guest at the function, could not be held responsible. The magistrate, in his report, has indicted the organiser, Sourab Mithu Madan, president of Dussehra Committee (East) and son of a Congress councillor, stating that he should have ensured safety of the people as he had chosen the venue.
It is believed that soon this report will be handed over to the Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh.
Dismissing attacks on his wife, Sidhu had questioned the role of the Centre after the incident, asking why the driver was given a clean chit within six hours of the mishap? Is it possible that a train is approaching and the guards can't see it?" the cricketer-turned-politician had said.


Ok finally, Starbucks in Cyberjaya.
From what i've been told, there will be not one – but two Starbucks. One will be open inside Shaftbury Square while the other one will be behind CIMB/Maybank building, around those Padi/Oldtown area.
This would be the second Starbucks in Malaysia with a drive thru experience. Never experienced a drive thru Starbucks so i am wondering how they will treat if you want to use your own tumbler, paying via credit card and others. Perhaps i should pay a visit to Setia Alam Starbucks to get to know better the system.
My new entry after almost one year. Hopefully more frequent entry coming..
Santa Fe Springs, Calif. has the highest concentration with 560 Starbucks stores within 25 miles –> this is equal to like 14 stores within 1 km. madness!!
A Starbucks grande coffee has 320 milligrams of caffeine, over four times the amount of caffeine in a Red Bull. –> Err… bad!
The Starbucks cinnamon chip scone has more calories than a McDonald's quarter pounder with 480 calories –> O'rlly?
baristas and shift supervisor wanted for cyberjaya store.

Bho BGA pasgan a 'cuideachadh gus lùghdachadh a inductance cumhachd agus talamh plèanaichean agus impedance smachd chomharran lines, teas faodar a ghluasad air falbh bho pad, buannachdail a theasachadh dissipation.
Air sgàth adhartas solder earbsachd, BGA urrainn a chumail an ìre mhath mòr beàrn eadar-cheanglaichean agus àrd-chàileachd soldering.
Sinn a 'speisealachadh ann an làimhseachadh breagha raon-cluiche phàirtean seanadh agus suas a-nis faodaidh sinn a' dèiligeadh ri BGAs 'char as lugha aig a bheil raon-cluiche a dh'fhaodas a bhith beag mar 0.35mm.
Nuair a tha thu a 'cur làn turn-key PCB seanadh òrdugh a thaobh BGA pasgan, ar innleadairean bidh, a' chiad de na h-uile, thoir sùil agad PCB faidhlichean agus BGA datasheet gus geàrr-chunntas a tearmach ìomhaigh anns a bheil eileamaidean a bhith air an gabhail a-steach beachdachadh air mar BGA meud , ball stuth etc. Mus deach a 'cheum seo, bheir sinn sùil air ur PCB dealbhadh airson BGA agus a' toirt a-ASGAIDH DFM seic a bhith mothachail air eileamaidean riatanach gus PCB seanadh gabhail a-steach fo-fhilleadh stuth, a 'crìochnachadh uachdar, soldermask fuadach, etc.

Q. Tell us about your round today. How you felt about it.
KIRK HANEFELD: Not real good. I was pretty sloppy early on. I made the turn in 3-over. Didn't make any birdies. I made a couple of just kind of stupid bogeys.
And I made a double on No. 11 to go 5-over for the day and I really was going in the wrong direction. And I made three birdies coming in to salvage a 73. So it was not a good round, but it wasn't a disastrous round either.
Q. What were your expectations coming into the week and then making the cut and playing here on the weekend and how have your expectations not only for the weekend but now going into tomorrow?
KIRK HANEFELD: Well, I have to have a good round tomorrow. I haven't broken par yet. And I know I can. I know it's possible. So I hope to be able to break par tomorrow and move up the leaderboard a little bit and have a respectable finish.
Q. And as you know there's a special presentation for the low club professional in the field. Does that enter your thoughts at all?
KIRK HANEFELD: No, Chris Starkjohann is playing so well this week he has pretty much a handle on that. So, no, it's not really a consideration.

Why business owners don't see accountants as their "coach" and what you can do to CHANGE it. See what you can do to become a Profit & Growth Expert. Consider this, How many business owners have you met that you know you can help, but they won't engage in a conversation about planning their eventual exit from their business? They'll say they aren't thinking about leaving any time soon. Or that they already have everything planned out. Or that they don't have the time to spend planning an exit when they're so busy running the day-to-day operations.
There are 5 questions every advisor should be asking their clients—questions that will shine a light on helping an owner connect to why they started their business, what they want out of it, and how you can help them get it.
Leveraging The Challenger Sale methodology to win consulting work. – The Challenger Sale is a new sales methodology which is fast replacing the consultative selling approach you learned starting out. It's based on the premise that today, business owners can learn a lot more about you — through sites like LinkedIn and Google – before they call you. Business owners are coming into a discovery meeting with a potential coach much more informed, and it requires that you take a different approach to selling – one based on challenging your prospect's point of view.
Why Owners Don't Buy Coaching From Their Accountant from The Value Builder System™ on Vimeo.
Let's talk about how you land new business owner clients.
This strategy involves approaching the organizers of events and offering yourself up as a speaker. Instead of having to fill the room with business owners, you're "piggybacking" on the organizers efforts to drive attendance to their event and you get to be positioned as the expert.
Sales Navigator is a paid product offered by LinkedIn. It gives you a way to query the LinkedIn database with very specific criteria (e.g. CEOs of roofing companies, with 10-99 employees based in Houston or software company founders based in San Jose who graduated from Stanford). Once you find a prospect, you can use LinkedIn's messaging platform called "inMail" which, according to LinkedIn, is up to 30 times more responsive than a cold prospect call.
One of the inherent problems with being a business advisor is that it takes a while to develop the trust required to get business owners talking about a potential exit. It takes them months – even years – to become convinced that they are ready to exit. Trying to stay in touch with hundreds of owners can be exhausting if you're doing it one-by-one which is why savvy professionals have a drip marketing campaign where they are sending out thought-provoking content each week. This ensures that you stay top of mind with your business owner prospects.

Doctor Rat
William Kotzwinkle
Open Road Media, Apr 1, 2014 - Fiction - 198 pages
This World Fantasy Award winner in the vein of Animal Farm delves into a lab worthy of a mad Nazi scientist—but run by a brilliantly sadistic rodent.
In the annals of American literature, there has never been a character quite like Doctor Rat, PhD. From one of the most indispensable storytellers in speculative fiction, this biting satire introduces a narrator of learned charm and humor, and a twisted logic that is absolutely chilling.
Doctor Rat is a credit to his species. A survivor of the most refined scientific experiments, now removed from the maze, he has become a valued and productive member of the academic community. When he must administer a lethal dose, he comforts his fellow rats with his compassionate slogan: "Death is freedom."
But everything changes when animals worldwide begin to rebel, refusing to accept their proper places in the natural order of things: as test subjects, pets, or food. And only Doctor Rat has the courage to defend mankind from the ungrateful animal kingdom.
Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "dazzlingly original" and "occasionally quite beautiful," Doctor Rat is a sly and stylish indictment of fanaticism in mice and men.
"A truly imaginative impresario . . . [Doctor Rat] teases your conscience with educated wit and versatile improvisation, not to mention the casual flick of the tail about to be cut off." —Kirkus Reviews

I am prepared to speak with the assurance of an eyewitness concerning the effect of the German fire upon the defenses of Maubeuge. What I saw at Liege I have described in a previous chapter of this volume. What I saw at Maubeuge was even more convincing testimony, had I needed it, that the Germans had a 42- centimeter gun, and that, given certain favored conditions, they knew how to handle it effectively.
In a letter written to the government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, United States Secretary of State Robert Lansing demands the recall of Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador in Washington, D.C.
At the time, barely one month after the outbreak of World War I, the United States was neutral in the great struggle between the Allied and Central Powers, the latter of which included Austria-Hungary. Dumba, who had served as his country's ambassador to the U.S. since May 1913, had earlier fallen out of favor with his colleagues in Washington on account of his government's policy of offering "rehabilitation" to former Austro-Hungarian citizens living abroad who had previously fled their mandatory military service, provided they agreed to serve with the army for the duration of the war upon their return to Austria-Hungary. Despite Dumba's diplomatic efforts, Vienna's policy was seen by many as a violation of the U.S. policy of neutrality, which strictly forbade any U.S. citizen (no matter how long they had resided in the country) from actively taking sides in the war.
The so-called "Dumba Affair" was much more serious, and resulted in the ambassador's dismissal by the government of President Woodrow Wilson in the fall of 1915. Lansing's letter charged Dumba with espionage, stating that the ambassador had proposed to his government "plans to instigate strikes in American manufacturing plants engaged in the production of munitions of war." According to the secretary of state, Dumba admitted to having written a letter containing such a proposal and sending it to his own government via an American citizen, James Archibald, who was intercepted in England; the letter was handed over to the U.S. government. As a result of this treachery, Lansing stated, "Mr. Dumba is no longer acceptable to the Government of the United States as the Ambassador of his Imperial Majesty at Washington."
I hope you will excuse the liberty I am taking in writing to you but I have the chance of sending this letter through by hand and I consider it absolutely necessary that you should know the true state of affairs out here. Our last great effort to achieve some definite success against the Turks was the most ghastly and costly fiasco in our history since the Battle of Bannockburn. Personally I never thought the scheme decided on by Headquarters ever had the slightest chance of succeeding and all efforts now to make out that it only just failed owing to the failure of the 9th Corps to seize the Anafarta Hills bare no relation to the real truth. The operations did for a time make headway in an absolutely impossible country more than any general had a right to expect owing to the superlative gallantry of the Colonial Troops and the self-sacrificing manner in which they threw away their lives against positions which should never have been attacked.
The main idea was to cut off the southern portion of the Turkish Army by getting astride of the Peninsula from Suvla Bay. Therefore the whole weight of the attack should have been concentrated on this objective, instead of which the main attack with the best troops was delivered against the side of the Turkish position which is a series of impossible mountains and valleys covered with dense scrub.
Russian Revolution: General Lavr G. Kornilov attempts to establish a right-wing military dictatorship in Russia. He is backed by the Cadets, traditionally the party of liberal constitutionalism.
1926 Weimar: Germany is admitted to the League of Nations and given a permanent seat on the Council.
Germany was not allowed to join the League in 1919. As Germany had started the war, according to the Treaty of Versailles, one of her punishments was that she was not considered to be a member of the international community and, therefore, she was not invited to join. This was a great blow to Germany but it also meant that the League could not use whatever strength Germany had to support its campaign against aggressor nations...three of the world's most powerful nations (potentially for Russia and Germany) played no part in supporting the League. The two most powerful members were Britain and France - both had suffered financially and militarily during the war - and enthusiastic to get involved in disputes that did not affect Western Europe.
Just weeks after Hitler assumed power on January 30, 1933, a patchwork of competing Jewish forces, led by American Jewish Congress president Rabbi Stephen Wise, civil rights crusader Louis Untermeyer, and the combative Jewish War Veterans, initiated a highly effective boycott of German goods and services. Each advanced the boycott in its own way, but sought to build a united anti-Nazi coalition that could deliver an economic deathblow to the Nazi party, which had based its political ascent almost entirely on promises to rebuild the strapped German economy. The boycotters were encouraged by the early successes of their loud, boisterous campaign, complete with nationwide protest meetings, picket signs, and open threats to destroy Germany's economy if the Reich's anti-Jewish actions persisted. Skilled organizing from unions, political groups, and commercial trade associations carried the boycott's message to every facet of American society and abroad. Depression-wracked nations around the world quickly began to shift their buying habits from the entrenched German market.
Huey Pierce Long is shot in the State Capitol at Baton Rouge by Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, a doctor of Jewish descent, less than a month after his anti-Semitic speech (See August 9) in the Senate. More than 10,000 people will attend Weiss' funeral in Baton Rouge.
Fifty years ago Huey Long was one of the most prominent and colorful politicians in America and the head of a formidable political machine in his home state of Louisiana. He was a virtual dictator there. He also had a nationwide following. He planned to run for president in 1936 . . . . Shortly after leaving the house chamber and paying a short visit to the governor's office, Huey Long was shot in a narrow corridor outside the governor's office that Sunday, Sept. 8, 1935, at approximately 9:20 p.m. Immediately after Long was shot, his alleged assassin, Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, a 29-year old local physician, was slain by Long's bodyguards, who pumped between 30 and 60 pistol bullets into the doctor's body as it thudded to the corridor floor.
Spain entered the twentieth century as a country excluded from the great European alliances, with an ill-fated African colonial policy, putting its faith in the League of Nations. It escaped the First World War, but was then shaken by a terrible civil war, which was in part the Spanish overture to the Second World War. Though it had not taken an active part in the war, at its end Spain once again found itself isolated, for having sided with Nazism and Fascism.
The Sudetenland was part of Germany until 1806 and of the German Confederation between 1815 and 1866. After the First World War the Sudetenland (some 11,000 square miles) became part of Czechoslovakia. Until Adolf Hitler came to power most Sudeten Germans were content to remain in Czechoslovakia but in 1935 a Sudeten-German Party, financed from within Nazi Germany, began to complain that the Czech-dominated government discriminated against them.
Westerplatte was established as a Polish military outpost during the interwar period, equipped with one 75mm field gun, two 37mm antitank guns (slightly mystifying for a coastal defense), four mortars, and several medium machine guns, but lacking any true fortifications. By the autumn of 1939, the Polish garrison occupying Westerplatte comprised of 182 soldiers expected to withstand a potential attack for twelve hours...the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein dropped anchor in the channel off Westerplatte and on September 1, at exactly 04:45 local time, began its barrage of the Polish outpost with its superior 280 and 150mm guns . . . .
Expecting an easy victory, the German offensive was sternly repelled by Polish small arms and machine gun fire, and suffered unexpected losses during two more assaults upon Westerplatte the same day. The only Polish 75mm gun was destroyed after discharging 28 shells into the German position across the channel. Despite a German naval infantry invasion, sustained bombardment by heavy artillery and diving air raids from German warplanes, the Polish garrison repulsed the Germans for seven days, before the depleted unit, suffering from exhaustion, severe injury and a shortage of food, water, ammunition and medical supplies, was forced to surrender.
US president Franklin D. Roosevelt declares a 'limited national emergency' due to the war in Europe.
When President Roosevelt proclaimed a "limited national emergency" on 8 September 1939, just one week after Germany invaded Poland, the Medical Department of the United States Army was operating 7 general hospitals and 119 station hospitals. Five of the general hospitals were located in the United States—Walter Reed at Washington, D. C.; Army and Navy at Hot Springs, Ark.; Fitzsimons at Denver, Colo.; Letterman at San Francisco, Calif.; and William Beaumont at El Paso, Tex. The other two were in overseas possessions—Tripler in the Hawaiian Islands and Sternberg in the Philippines. Of the station hospitals 104 were on Army posts in the United States and Alaska, while the remainder were divided among the Philippine Islands, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Panama Canal Zone.
Holocaust: Bedzin: Two hundred Jews are burned alive in a synagogue by Nazis, who charge Poles with the crime, and then execute 30 of them in a public square. Bedzin had 27,000 Jewish inhabitants, approximately 45 percent of the town's entire population. Confiscation of Jewish property, forced labor, deprivation, and, ultimately, deportation to Auschwitz were slated for the Jews of Bedzin. After the first wave of deportations to Auschwitz, a Resistance movement attempted to make contact with the Polish underground.
German forces begin their siege of Leningrad, a major industrial center and the USSR's second-largest city. The German armies were later joined by Finnish forces that advanced against Leningrad down the Karelian Isthmus. The siege of Leningrad, also known as the 900-Day Siege though it lasted a grueling 872 days, resulted in the deaths of some one million of the city's civilians and Red Army defenders.
Leningrad, formerly St. Petersburg, capital of the Russian Empire, was one of the initial targets of the German invasion of June 1941. As German armies raced across the western Soviet Union, three-quarters of Leningrad's industrial plants and hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants were evacuated to the east. More than two million residents remained, however, and the evacuated were replaced by refugees who fled to Leningrad ahead of the German advance. All able-bodied persons in the city—men, women, and children—were enlisted to build antitank fortifications along Leningrad's edge. By the end of July, German forces had cut the Moscow-Leningrad railway and were penetrating the outer belt of the fortifications around Leningrad. On September 8, German forces besieged the city, but they were held at bay by Leningrad's fortifications and its 200,000 Red Army defenders. That day, a German air bombardment set fire to warehouses containing a large part of Leningrad's scant food supply.
Aiming to tighten the noose around Leningrad, the Germans launched an offensive to the east in October and cut off the last highways and rail lines south of the city. Meanwhile, Finnish forces advanced down the Karelian Isthmus (which had been seized from Finland by the Soviets during the Russo-Finnish War of 1939 to 1940) and besieged Leningrad from the north. By early November, the city was almost completely encircled, and only across Lake Ladoga was a supply lifeline possible.
German artillery and air bombardments came several times a day during the first months of the siege. The daily ration for civilians was reduced to 125 grams of bread, no more than a thick slice. Starvation set in by December, followed by the coldest winter in decades, with temperatures falling to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. People worked through the winter in makeshift armament factories without roofs, building the weapons that kept the Germans just short of victory.
Residents burned books and furniture to stay warm and searched for food to supplement their scarce rations. Animals from the city zoo were consumed early in the siege, followed before long by household pets. Wallpaper paste made from potatoes was scraped off the wall, and leather was boiled to produce an edible jelly. Grass and weeds were cooked, and scientists worked to extract vitamins from pine needles and tobacco dust. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, resorted to cannibalizing the dead, and in a few cases people were murdered for their flesh. The Leningrad police struggled to keep order and formed a special division to combat cannibalism.
Across frozen Lake Ladoga, trucks made it to Leningrad with supplies, but not enough. Thousands of residents, mostly children and the elderly, were evacuated across the lake, but many more remained in the city and succumbed to starvation, the bitter cold, and the relentless German air attacks. In 1942 alone, the siege claimed some 600,000 lives. In the summer, barges and other ships braved German air attack to cross Lake Ladoga to Leningrad with supplies.
In January 1943, Red Army soldiers broke through the German line, rupturing the blockade and creating a more efficient supply route along the shores of Lake Ladoga. For the rest of the winter and then during the next, the "road of life" across the frozen Lake Ladoga kept Leningrad alive. Eventually, an oil pipeline and electric cables were laid on the lake bed. In the summer of 1943, vegetables planted on any open ground in the city supplemented rations.
The extensive coastal fortifications which I have ordered to be erected in the area of Army Group West make it necessary that in the occupied territory all available workers be assigned and give the fullest extent of their productive capacities to this task. The previous allotment of workers originating from these countries is insufficient. In order to increase it I order the introduction of compulsory labor and the prohibition of changing the place of employment without permission of the authorities in the occupied territories. Furthermore, the distribution of food and clothing ration cards to those subject to labor draft should in the future depend on the possession of a certificate of employment. Refusal to accept an assigned Job, as well as leaving the place of work without the consent of the authorities in charge, will result in the withdrawal of the food and clothing ration cards. The GBA (Deputy General for Arbeitseinsatz) in agreement with the military commander, as well as the Reich Commissioner, will issue the appropriate decrees.
The Fuehrer and Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht; General Headquarters of the Fuehrer: The extensive coastal fortifications which I have ordered to be erected in the area of Army Group West necessitate in the occupied territory the utilization of all available workers to the fullest extent and to their utmost capacity. The assignment of indigenous workers, made up to now, is insufficient. In order to increase it, I order the introduction of compulsory labor and the prohibition of changing the place of employment without permission of the authorities in the occupied territories. Furthermore, in future, the distribution of food and clothing ration cards to those subject to compulsory labor shall depend on the possession of a certificate of employment. Refusal to accept an assigned job, as well as leaving the place of work without the consent of the authorities in charge, will result in the withdrawal of the food and clothing ration cards. The GBA (the office of Sauckel) in agreement with the military commanders or the Reich Commissioners, will issue the appropriate directives.
The heavy defensive battles in the area of Army Groups Center and North induce me to fix my views on some fundamental tasks of the defense . . . . The enemy carries on construction to a far greater extent than do our own troops. I know that it will be argued that the enemy has at his disposal more labor for construction of such positions. But it is therefore an absolute necessity at exactly this point to make use, with ruthless energy, especially of prisoners of war and the population for these tasks. Only in this respect is the Russian superior to us in his brutal way. By this means, however, the German soldier, too, can be spared to a large extent from labor on defensive works behind the front lines, in order that he may be kept free and fresh for his real duties. Frequently the necessary ruthlessness which the present fateful battle demands is not yet being employed here, for in it not a victory but the existence and survival of our people is contested. Besides, it is in all circumstances still always more humane to drive the Russian population to work, with every means, as it has always been accustomed to be driven, than to sacrifice our most precious possession, our own blood.
After the collapse of France, when the German armies strode on irresistibly in triumph and conquest, there seemed to be a possibility that Hitler might establish himself as a kind of Charlemagne in Europe and would unite many countries under German sway while at the same time pointing to our island as the author of the blockade and the cause of all their woes. That danger, such as it was, and I certainly did not think it negligible, has rolled away. The German is now more hated in every country in Europe than any race has been since human records began. In a dozen countries Hitler's firing parties are at work every morning, and a dark stream of cold execution blood flows between the Germans and almost all their fellow men. The cruelties, the massacres of hostages, the brutal persecutions in which the Germans have indulged in every land into which their armies have broken have recently received an addition in the most bestial, the most squalid and the most senseless of all their offences, namely, the mass deportation of Jews from France, with the pitiful horrors attendant upon the calculated and final scattering of families. This tragedy fills one with astonishment as well as with indignation, and it illustrates as nothing else can the utter degradation of the Nazi nature and theme, and the degradation of all who lend themselves to its unnatural and perverted passions.
The American Charge in Vichy, Mr. S. Pinkney Tuck, on September 7 was called in by Monsieur Laval who said that in recent bombings of Le Havre and Rouen by combined military forces of the United Nations a number of people were killed and others wounded and that he, M. Laval, desired to enter a protest to the American Government since it was reported some American flyers participated. Mr. Tuck's immediate reply was that these air forces were bombing military plants in the employ of Germany and that, of course, the Americans do not desire to see the French people suffer any more than can be avoided since they have already suffered to an incalculable extent under German occupation but that M. Laval must be assured that the military plants operated by or for Germany and other German military properties in France will be bombed at every opportunity in the future.
On this day in 1942, a Japanese floatplane drops incendiary bombs on an Oregon state forest-the first and only air attack on the U.S. mainland in the war.
Launching from the Japanese sub I-25, Nobuo Fujita piloted his light aircraft over the state of Oregon and firebombed Mount Emily, alighting a state forest—and ensuring his place in the history books as the only man to ever bomb the continental United States. The president immediately called for a news blackout for the sake of morale. No long-term damage was done, and Fujita eventually went home to train navy pilots for the rest of the war.
On this day in 1943, Operation Avalanche, the Allied land invasion of Salerno, and Operation Slapstick, the British airborne invasion of Taranto, both in southern Italy, are launched.
The U.S. 5th Army under Lt. Gen. Mark Clark landed along the Salerno coastline while British Commando units and their American counterparts, the U.S. Rangers, landed on the peninsula itself. Salerno had been chosen as the first site for invasion of the peninsula because it was the northern-most point to which the Allies could fly planes from its bases in Sicily, which they had already invaded and occupied. Rockets launched from landing craft provided cover, and the beach landings went relatively smoothly. It wasn't until two days later that the Germans, with some Italian troops coerced into service, mounted a heavy counterattack on the beachhead. But Clark called in the 82nd Airborne for support, and by the 15th, Salerno was in Allied hands.
Meanwhile, the British 1st Airborne Division, having successfully landed at Taranto, captured the airfield at Foggia.
On this day in 1943, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower publicly announces the surrender of Italy to the Allies. Germany reacted with Operation Axis, the Allies with Operation Avalanche.
With Mussolini deposed from power and the earlier collapse of the fascist government in July, Gen. Pietro Badoglio, the man who had assumed power in Mussolini's stead by request of King Victor Emanuel, began negotiating with Gen. Eisenhower for weeks. Weeks later, Badoglio finally approved a conditional surrender, allowing the Allies to land in southern Italy and begin beating the Germans back up the peninsula. Operation Avalanche, the Allied invasion of Italy, was given the go-ahead, and the next day would see Allied troops land in Salerno.
The Germans too snapped into action. Ever since Mussolini had begun to falter, Hitler had been making plans to invade Italy to keep the Allies from gaining a foothold that would situate them within easy reach of the German-occupied Balkans. On September 8, Hitler launched Operation Axis, the occupation of Italy. As German troops entered Rome, General Badoglio and the royal family fled Rome for southeastern Italy to set up a new antifascist government. Italian troops began surrendering to their former German allies; where they resisted, as had happened earlier in Greece, they were slaughtered (1,646 Italian soldiers were murdered by Germans on the Greek island of Cephalonia, and the 5,000 that finally surrendered were ultimately shot).
One of the goals of Operation Axis was to keep Italian navy vessels out of the hands of the Allies. When the Italian battleship Roma headed for an Allied-controlled port in North Africa, it was sunk by German bombers. In fact, the Roma had the dubious honor of becoming the first ship ever sunk by a radio-controlled guided missile. More than 1,500 crewmen drowned. The Germans also scrambled to move Allied POWs to labor camps in Germany in order to prevent their escape. In fact, many POWS did manage to escape before the German invasion, and several hundred volunteered to stay in Italy to fight alongside the Italian guerillas in the north.
The Italians may have surrendered, but their war was far from over.
Bulgaria: Shortly after Soviet troops cross the border into Bulgaria, Bulgaria accepts an armistice and declares war on Germany.
At the present time we are at a virtual standstill and progress will be very slow. I trust the assumption of a decisive Russian offensive on the Eastern Front will be realized; but it is at present only an assumption . . . . No one can tell what the future may bring forth. Will the Allies be able to advance in strength through the Siegfried Line into Germany during September, or will their forces be so limited by supply conditions and the lack of ports as to enable the Germans to consolidate on the Siegfried Line? Will the Germans withdraw from Italy?-in which case they will greatly strengthen their internal position. Will they be able to draw on their forces, at one time estimated at between 25 and 30 divisions, in the Baltic States? The fortifying and consolidating effect of a stand on the frontier of the native soil should not be underrated. It is at least as likely that Hitler will be fighting on January 1 as that he will collapse before then. If he does collapse before then, the reasons will be political rather than military.
In this phase of the war Hitler deceived all of us. From the summer of 1944 on he circulated, through Ambassador Hewel of the Foreign Office, definite statements to the effect that conversation with foreign powers had been started. Generaloberst Jodl has confirmed this to me here in Court. In this way, for instance, the fact that several visits were paid to Hitler by the Japanese Ambassador was interpreted to mean that through Japan we were carrying on conversations with Moscow; or else Minister Neubacher, who was here as a witness, was reported to have initiated conversations in the Balkans with the United States; or else the former Soviet Ambassador in Berlin was alleged to have been in Stockholm for the purpose of initiating conversations. In this way he raised hopes that, like Japan, we would start negotiations in this hopeless situation, so that the people would be saved from the worst consequences.
To do this, however, it was necessary to stiffen resistance as much as possible. He deceived all of us by holding out to the military leaders false hopes in the success of diplomatic steps and by promising the political leaders fresh victories through the use of new troops and new weapons and by systematically spreading rumors to encourage the people to believe in the appearance of a miracle weapon—all for the purpose of keeping up resistance. I can prove that during this period I made continual reference in my speeches and in my letters, which I wrote to Hitler and Goebbels, as to how dishonest and disastrous I considered this policy of deceiving the people by promising them a miracle weapon.
1945 Hideki Tojo: Japanese prime minister during most of World War II, attempts suicide rather than face a war crimes tribunal. The attempt fails.
U.S. troops land in Korea to begin their postwar occupation of the southern part of that nation, almost exactly one month after Soviet troops had entered northern Korea to begin their own occupation. Although the U.S. and Soviet occupations were supposed to be temporary, the division of Korea quickly became permanent.
Korea had been a Japanese possession since the early 20th century. During World War II, the allies—the United States, Soviet Union, China, and Great Britain—made a somewhat hazy agreement that Korea should become an independent country following the war. As the war progressed, U.S. officials began to press the Soviets to enter the war against Japan. At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin pledged that his nation would declare war on Japan exactly three months after Nazi Germany was defeated. A few months later, at the Potsdam Conference in July and August 1945, it was agreed that Soviet troops would occupy the northern portion of Korea, while American forces would take a similar action in southern Korea in order to secure the area and liberate it from Japanese control. The occupations would be temporary, and Korea would eventually decide its own political future, though no date was set for the end of the U.S. and Soviet occupations. On August 8, the Soviets declared war on Japan. On August 9, Soviet forces invaded northern Korea. A few days later, Japan surrendered. Keeping to their part of the bargain, U.S. forces entered southern Korea on September 8, 1945.
Over the next few years, the situation in Korea steadily worsened. A civil war between communist and nationalist forces in southern Korea resulted in thousands of people killed and wounded. The Soviets steadfastly refused to consider any plans for the reunification of Korea. The United States reacted by setting up a government in South Korea, headed by Syngman Rhee. The Soviets established a communist regime in North Korea, under the leadership of Kim Il-Sung. In 1948, the United States again offered to hold national elections, but the Soviets refused the offer. Elections were held in South Korea, and Rhee's government received a popular mandate. The Soviets refused to recognize Rhee's government, though, and insisted that Kim Il-Sung was the true leader of all Korea.
With respect to the Treaty of Peace signed this day, the Government of Japan makes the following Declaration: Japan will recognise any Commission, Delegation, or other Organisation authorised by any of the Allied Powers to identify, list, maintain, or regulate its war graves, cemeteries, and memorials in Japanese territory; will facilitate the work of such Organisations; and will, in respect to the abovementioned war graves, cemeteries, and memorials, enter into negotiations for the conclusion of such agreements as may prove necessary with the Allied Power concerned, or with any Commission, Delegation, or other Organisation authorised by it.
Japan trusts that the Allied Powers will enter into discussions with the Japanese Government with a view to arrangements being made for the maintenance of any Japanese war graves or cemeteries which may exist in the territories of the Allied Powers and which it is desired to be preserved.
1953 Death: Richard Walther Darré: An English-educated son of Argentinean-German parents; one of Heinrich Himmler's early ideological mentors; author of the Nazi "blood and soil" doctrine, which extolled the virtues of Nordic peasants; Director of the SS Office of Race and Resettlement and later Reich Agriculture minister. Darré was arrested in 1945 and tried at the subsequent Nuremberg Trials (specifically, the Ministries Trial 1947-49). He was acquitted on many of the more serious charges against him, specifically those relating to genocide; but was nevertheless sentenced to seven years in prison. He was released in 1950 and died in Munich on 5 September 1953 of cancer of the liver, induced by alcoholism.
Having been directed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to put together an alliance to contain any communist aggression in the free territories of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, or Southeast Asia in general, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles forges an agreement establishing a military alliance that becomes the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO).
2003 Death: Leni Riefenstahl: German dancer, actor, and film director widely noted for her aesthetics and advances in film technique. Her most famous works are documentary propaganda films for the German Nazi Party. Rejected by the film industry after World War II, she later pursued still photography and continued to make films of marine life. She heard Adolf Hitler speak at a rally in 1932 and was mesmerized by his powers as a public speaker. Upon meeting Riefenstahl, Hitler, himself an artist, saw the chance to hire a visionary who could create the image of a strong, proud Wagnerian Germany radiating beauty, power, strength, and defiance, an image he could sell to the world. Reports vary as to whether she ever had a close relationship with Hitler.


While Florida busies itself trying to eradicate non-native pythons in the Everglades, researchers at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine want to help pet pythons and boas through a blood test for inclusion body disease (IBD).
IBD is highly infectious and usually fatal, primarily affecting boa constrictors and pythons. While snakes with IBD may display signs such as head-tilting, chronic regurgitation or disequilibrium, the problem—and the primary reason for the test—is that some infected snakes exhibit no signs and appear healthy.
Dr. Elliott Jacobson with a Dumeril's ground boa, one of the species prone to IBD.
The disease emerged in the reptile trade in the late 1970s, said Elliott Jacobson, DVM, Ph.D., Dipl. ACZM, a UF professor emeritus of zoological medicine and co-author of a study announcing the test. The article appeared in the December issue of PLOS ONE, an online scientific journal.
"We don't know the prevalence, but we see more of IBD in the United States because there are some 2 million boas being kept as pets in this country," Dr. Jacobson said.
"This simple blood test will help determine whether or not an animal has this disease and potentially will help clean up colonies of snakes that will ultimately be disease-free," he added.
Being able to identify infected snakes that show no symptoms is key.
Among the other members of the research team that developed the IBD test were principal investigator Li-Wen Chang, BVM., Ph.D., and veterinary epidemiologist Jorge Hernandez, DVM, Ph.D., MPVM. To develop the test, the researchers studied a monoclonal antibody produced in response to a unique protein that accumulates in cells of snakes with IBD.
"It took us almost a year to finally produce this antibody, and three more years to validate its performance for immuno-based diagnostic tests," Dr. Chang said.
Though IBD's cause is unknown, the researchers found that genetic links of the unique protein are associated with a family of viruses that primarily infect rodents. The test is offered at the Gainesville, Fla., institution's Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research through the university's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories. For now, the test will supplement existing molecular and histological analyses, which are more widely available but more expensive, Jacobson noted. In addition, the test's ease of use and simplicity will offer veterinary practitioners a good first-line diagnostic tool to screen for IBD in snake species that show signs of the disease or even those that don't.
The American Association of Zoo Veterinarians' infectious disease committee recommends the quarantine of newly imported snakes, the culling of infected snakes and mite control as the best ways to control IBD's spread.

Third Time Lucky? Capitalism Takes Revenge On Peronism
By Marcelo García | [email protected] | November 23, 2015 9:59am
President-elect Mauricio Macri stands beneath a newly inaugurated statue of Juan Perón. Photo via Infobae.
The two times before yesterday that the Peronist Party lost an election, the slayers were lawyers. Raúl Alfonsín (1983) and Fernando de la Rúa (1999) were fighting the law of gravity ruling Argentine politics since the mid 20th Century, which dictated that Peronism and only Peronism could run this nation. They did not succeed, or not fully: their terms had to be cut short amid economic and political chaos. They fought the law, but the law won.
Mauricio Macri hopes this will be third time lucky. As the new historical butcher of the Peronist beast, he does have one thing in his favor: Macri is a wealthy businessman who grew up in a filthy rich business family — that is, a true capitalist. And remember that the basis of Peronism, as founded by Juan Perón back in the 1940s is, as its anthem goes "fighting capitalism."
Is Macri still a businessman? His first task as President will be to make some earnings to fatten the country's emptying coffers and avoid a cash crash that would trigger devaluation. Devaluation means exactly what it says it means: lowering the value of something (in this case the money Argentines have in their pockets — except those bastards who like to stick to their dollars). That is exactly the opposite of what a successful businessman is supposed do to.
Stress on the word success. Eduardo Duhalde, for instance, was one of the three Peronists defeated in a presidential race. The first was Ítalo Argentino Lúder (yes, "Argentino" was his middle name). The third was Daniel Osvaldo Scioli (who has for years used his initials DOS or "TWO" as a marketing tool, as if he were predicting his defeat well in advance). Back to Duhalde: in the middle of the country's 2002 meltdown, he said that, "This country is condemned to success." His own political story was somehow testimony to that: he lost the vote in 1999, but was voted in as interim President by Congress anyhow on January 1, 2002.
But for Macri to have a Happy New Year and more happy days to follow, he will have to do something about the economy. The level of tolerance Argentines will have to the news (likely bad) that will come in the mail will mark the maturity of a society that seems to have isolated itself from the polarization offered as almost the only political menu over the last few years.
Depolarize Me!
In scientific terms, depolarization implies a "sudden reversal in electrical potential from negative to positive." Maybe against his own will, Macri surges as the main figure of a Zeitgeist that requires an entire new way of conducting politics. He will have to perform a tightrope act between the change he has offered and the continuation many Argentines (including many that voted for him) want. If he is to succeed, "sudden" should not be the case.
His Republican Proposal (PRO) party, the undisputed leader of the Cambiemos alliance that is now catapulting him to the Casa Rosada, was born in 2003, the same year Kirchnerismo erupted onto Argentine politics. It was initially called Compromiso Para el Cambio or Commitment for Change. It was first a political act, before Macri even ran for mayor for the first time to lose against Aníbal Ibarra in August last year, was to take a stance in the second round that never was on May 18. It was Carlos Menem vs. Néstor Kirchner. The day Menem walked out of the race, Macri issued a statement endorsing Kirchner and promising to help to "guarantee governability." As the man reaching office with the thinnest vote mandate in history, Kirchner needed every support available.
Macri will now need to bag every tiny bit of support, just like Kirchner did then. Literally, he's got more clout than the late Kirchner had then – his people will run four provinces including the two largest and most influential electoral districts (Buenos Aires Province and Buenos Aires City). But metaphorically he's got less, for the simple reason that he is not a Peronist and therefore technically not able to catch all the survivors of the Peronist political shipwreck.
The slow but sure growth of Macri's party amounts to the most professional political experiment performed by Argentina's elite in at least 100 years. The filthy rich of this country had walked out of politics in the early 20th Century, when they thought it was better to use the military to abort the governments of the middle class under the Radicals or the working class under the Peronists instead. His greatest challenge will be to bridge that class gap and expand his base of support. If he doesn't, popular sayings have an alternative to third time lucky: "Never two without three."

Q: How do I add a webjob to my aspnet appservice using only the CLI I am working on macOS with an external text editor (NOT VisualStudio).
I have an asp.net project that I push to my app service using
git push azure main:master
the remote is configured as such https://$name:pass@name.scm.azurewebsites.net:443/name.git
when I go to the web jobs section in the app service to add a web job, I get the error message:

I want to continue using my source control push method while developing...
however I would also like to add a csharp console webjob .
I have followed the tutorial here (A) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/webjobs-sdk-get-started, and have a functoining console app that consumes a message from a queue.
How can I push this extra console app to my Kudu instance?
I read here that there is a 'hidden' structure not in the main doucmentation (A) I linked above for the tutorial: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/WebJobs.
Do I have to manually zip the result of dotnet publish -c Release to some Kudu folder? Or is there a more elegant way by somehow including this project inside my git repo that I push normally... or using an az cli tool to push the webjob to the app?

A: *

*I created the Web Job and tried to Add it from App service, got the below error.

*Using Azure CLI, we can deploy our Web Jobs to App Service

*Web Jobs need to be deployed to the below folder in KUDU Console, Create a folder with Web Job Name in the below path
app_data\jobs\triggered\NewFolder

*

*Zip all the contents of the Web Job into one folder.

*wwwroot folder path will be read-only mode, we need to enable it by setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE to 1

*Set the WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE to 1 in WebApp => Configuration => Application Settings or run the CLI command to set it.

az webapp config appsettings set --resource-group YourRGName --name AppServiceName --settings WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE="1"

*

*Zip deploy Web Job to the existing Azure App service

az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group YourRGName --name YourAppService --src YourZipFilePath

*

*We can directly drag and drop the Web Jobs Zip folder from the KUDU Console as well

*

*We can deploy our Web Jobs in many ways.
We can FTP / Use Build Pipelines/ Zip Deploy.

A: Found a way to push directly using az cli
 az webapp deploy --name $APP_NAME -g $RG \
                  --src-path program.py \
                  --type static \
                  --target-path /home/site/Jobs/continuous/Job$RANDOM/program.py

for larger programs in .net I just dumped the project on Kudu, unzipped, and rebuilt  (I'm on a mac m1 so can't build against x64 without some hoops, this was easier workaround)
 # on my machine
 az webapp deploy --name $APP_NAME -g $RG \
                  --src-path path_to_dotnet_project.zip \
                  --type static \
                  --target-path /home/site/Jobs/continuous/Job5/myproject.zip

then on the app service (using kudu cmd/powershell)
cd /home/site/Jobs/continuous/Job5
unzip myproject.zip
dotnet build -c Release
cp bin/release/net6.0/* /home/site/Jobs/continuous/MyNewJob
#job in MyNewJob automatically starts since this is in the 'continuous' folder

Will phone encryption trip up law enforcement?
While the newest Apple and Google smartphones will automatically encrypt data stored on them, that won't keep U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies from obtaining evidence linked to the devices.
Marketing by the two companies in which they pledge to shield photos, documents, contact lists and other data from the prying eyes of government or hackers won plaudits from privacy advocates. It also drew condemnation from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director James Comey and local police officials who say it will make it harder to investigate crimes ranging from child abuse to drug trafficking and terrorism.
Those assertions "are wildly exaggerated" because police can still obtain evidence through traditional court warrants while revelations about government spying show the National Security Agency can break or bypass encryption for terrorism investigations, said Jonathan Turley, a constitutional law professor at The George Washington University Law School.
"Citizens should not assume that these encryption devices will necessarily prevent government from intercepting communications," Turley said. "If history is any guide, the government will find a way to penetrate these devices."
The issue has renewed tension between law enforcement and intelligence agencies and technology companies trying to stand up for the privacy rights of their users. Apple, Google and other companies have been trying to restore their reputations after revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that they cooperated with government spying programs in the past.
The companies announced in recent weeks that their new phones will automatically scramble data so that a digital key kept by the owner is needed to unlock it, making it harder for detectives to examine the content of suspects' phones without their knowledge or cooperation. Previously, such encryption was an option that required users to endure a time-consuming process to activate.
"This is going to have a very big impact on law enforcement," said Stewart Baker, a former general counsel for the NSA and now a partner at the law firm Steptoe & Johnson in Washington. "There will be crimes that people get away with because this information is not available."
However, many traditional investigative methods will still work, he said.
"Wiretaps would still work. You can also get call-details records," he said. "That's available from the phone companies and it's not affected by this decision."
Much of the data sent from or to the devices can still be captured and investigators can hack software to collect evidence. That means there will likely be little change in the way text messages, emails, phone calls, location coordinates and other data are mined for terrorist communications and other threats.
Data stored in so-called cloud services, including photos such as the ones stolen from Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities, would still be vulnerable to hackers.
The encryption feature offers users some confidence and is a selling point for the companies.
"There's a little bit of PR, there's a little bit of competitive pressure, and there's a little bit of honest effort to improve the security of the Internet as a whole," said Jon Oberheide, co-founder and chief technology officer of Duo Security. The Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company provides computer security.
Companies can be forced to turn over information stored in cloud services, Baker said. And governments with powerful spying tools such as the United States and China can bypass encryption on mobile phones by hacking into suspects' devices. Right now, a committee of U.S. judges is weighing a proposal that would give federal agents greater leeway to secretly access suspected criminals' computers in bunches not simply one at a time.
While the improved security of their smartphones is a challenge for law enforcement, the moves can help protect the privacy rights of users who haven't broken any laws, Turley said.
"Civil libertarians have long called for privacy speed bumps or barriers for the government," he said.
The NSA is "concerned about the proliferation of any technology that might allow international terrorists or other foreign intelligence targets to evade lawfully authorized surveillance," said agency spokeswoman Vanee Vines.
A Google spokeswoman, Niki Christoff, said "People previously used safes and combination locks to keep their information secure - now they use encryption."
Apple spokesman Colin Johnson declined to comment on the impact of their encryption measures beyond pointing out a public statement by Apple CEO Tim Cook on the company's website.
"We have never worked with any government agency from any country to create a backdoor in any of our products or services," Cook wrote. "We have also never allowed access to our servers. And we never will."
The scope and force of secret government requests for data was highlighted last month when newly released documents showed Yahoo might have had to pay millions of dollars a day in fines if it kept refusing to comply with U.S. requests for its users' Internet data. Yahoo complied on May 12, 2008, giving in to the NSA's Prism electronic surveillance program that had operated without public knowledge until Snowden exposed it. The company then went to court to win the right to release details of its fight against the order.
Apple, which has in the past cooperated with court orders and extracted data from phones for law enforcement or provided data from its systems, described its new measures in a statement on its website on Sept. 17.
"Unlike our competitors, Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data," the policy says.
Google, based in Mountain View, California, earlier in September said that it was making its encryption feature automatic after offering it as an option for more than three years. Google also said it cannot access users' passcodes or decrypt encrypted devices.
The more aggressive focus on security has also put a spotlight on the ability of technology companies themselves to access users' data. One tool in particular, little-known outside of the security community, is known as a kill switch.
Built into mobile operating systems, kill switches give companies such as Apple and Google the ability to reach into users' devices remotely to delete malicious software and access content stored on them. Designed as a security feature, it's also a potential avenue for spying.

A slow maceration of grape skins with wood - netting (see Beaujolais) for 9 to 15 days. A control of the temperatures during the whole wine - making process in order to increase the intense flavour of this wine and get an appropriate finish . A pressing followed by 2 rackings to eliminate the risk of bad taste ( lees...). Allowing the wine to remain in a oak barrel for 6 to 8 months to give a slightly woody taste.
A strong purple colour. A fresh grape and iris nose. A very subtle palate with numerous flowery fragrances and a tannic intensity at the end, all this giving a very special body to this wine. It can age for 5 to 10 years and will go well with meat in sauce dishes.

This NAS is also called personal cloud storage nowadays. Unlike public cloud storage such as Google Drive or Dropbox where you need to subscribe for data storage and your data is stored on 3rd party's storage, the NAS is your private storage that you have full control on how it's connected, how it's managed, who can access to it and so on.
Simply put this is dedicated network storage that is used to store data as opposed to traditional method of storing data on the hard disk installed on computers. Traditionally, you would face slow computer or program performance issue when you computer's hard disk space is almost occupied with data, but you can forget about it if you store all data on the NAS. This network device is suitable to be used as centralized storage and conveniently accessed by family members or friends.
Before you use the NAS, read the product manual and follow the instruction to install the hard disks if need to, after that you are ready to connect it to home network.
The network connecting process is pretty easy as long as you have a network at home. Just use a network cable to connect the the NAS box's Ethernet network port to router or switch port, and proceed to power on this network device. It will then be assigned an IP address from your router (need to activate DHCP feature on router) or DHCP server, after that you can start to access it from your computer by using the utility or program provided by NAS manufacturer. In addition, you should be able to access this NAS from the iOS and Android mobile devices too through the app provided by NAS manufacturer.
For the NAS that comes with only single drive (hard disk) support, usually you will be able to expand the storage capacity easily by plugging in additional hard disk to the NAS box's USB port.
- How many hard disks are supported?
- Does it support RAID1, JBOD or other redundancy configurations?
- Does it support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection?
- Any USB ports provided on product?
- Does it support user disk quotas control?
