Torguard Infringement – TorGuard Anonymous VPN Review – 2019
Intro Torguard Infringement
With a proven History, TorGuard has Evolved into a high-quality VPN supplier for both novices and advanced users. We here in The VPN Lab agree it is one of the top 10 VPN providers available. Servers run and supplies VPN service at rates that are reasonable. Torguard Infringement
What's a VPN?
A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your PC Along with a VPN server. Your internet traffic travels through that tunnel, meaning that anyone snooping around, even on precisely the exact same system as you, will not find something. A VPN can also help safeguard. ISPs have enormous insight in your online actions –but not when you use a VPN.
Since it can procure an insecure network, there is a VPN An essential tool when using or traveling that shifty, unsecured public Wi-Fi network at the local coffee shop. A VPN also makes it harder by hiding your true IP address, which can be used to determine your geographic location to identify you online.
Activists and journalists frequently use VPN services to Get around government censors so they can communicate with the outside world. Many VPNs hang their reputation on having the capacity to unblock blocked websites for these customers. You can use so as to watch region-locked MLB or even BBC articles, for instance, a VPN to spoof where you are. Note that Netflix is currently working to block VPN trickery. Torguard Infringement
To begin utilizing TorGuard, just download the program for your Operating system and follow the setup guide. You are able to choose between TorGuard Lite and Torguard Viscosity. The very first one is a simpler client software, ideal for first-time VPN users, whereas the latter is a better option for tech-savvy users.
TorGuard Lite automatically connects the VPN after you have entered your Meaning that you essentially do not need to do anything to browse the Internet, information. You can also manually choose the protocol and server. Torguard Viscosity, on the other hand, allows for customization.
Both customers are simple to use and supply a user friendly encounter. Nonetheless, if you are not knowledgeable about how VPNs work, you should probably stick to the Lite version.
There Is a Great reason why TorGuard is among the most popular and Trusted VPN services — it's their features that make them excellent. We are not talking anything mad here, just the simple stuff that every VPN user needs and desires, but which other VPN service providers somehow do not consider a given.
For example speed and bandwidth come with all TorGuard Bundles. A number of them even include unlimited mail storage. You also receive a dedicated, fresh IP address just for you. There are over 3,000 VPN servers available in over 55 countries of the world. They're all strategically distributed throughout the globe so you can be certain that you will have one close wherever your travels might take you. The business was nice enough to put servers in Australia and New Zealand also, the region that has been so unfairly discounted by many VPN providers for a long time.
TorGuard has another intriguing feature that not many other suppliers Can feature — the stealth server feature. The"stealth" servers are ideal for countries and regions with web control, most notably China. As a result of this feature, the residents of these areas can now enjoy the specific same content and get the very same sites as anyone else anywhere in the world.
TorGuard not only accepts but encourages sharing. But there Are a few things. You will find particular, dedicated servers that should only be used for P2P sharing. This is really pretty smart since you can do all of your P2P sharing on committed and especially configured and maintained servers while the remaining servers remain free for faster streaming and browsing. There are loads of dedicated servers so you don't have to be worried about slow rates on crowded servers. Additionally, TorGuard also supplies a specialized torrent proxy, which supports all significant torrent clients (BitTorrent, uTorrent, Deluge, Vuse, and many more) and comes with unlimited bandwidth.
TorgGuard utilizes OpenVPN/SSTP/L2TP/IPsec encryption protocols. You can Choose whichever you like, but most experts recommend using OpenVPN for greatest security. It is possible to connect as many as five distinct apparatus using a single TorGuard account. This should cover all your devices, from computers to smartphones. TorGuard does not keep any logs so of your relations are 100% anonymous. Torguard Infringement
Customer support is another department where TorGuard does. Their website has a comprehensive service region with troubleshooting, knowledge base, FAQ, tutorials, forum and a support ticket system. You can access support in the user accounts area. TorGuard delivers the chat option . The service team is polite, helpful and friendly. The service ticket system also functions with responses coming from a matter of two or just a minute.
TorGuard advertises itself as the best VPN service for users that Want to stay absolutely anonymous and secure. In fact, their anonymous proxy support is especially optimized for p2p filesharing and for bypassing geo-restrictions, like watching Netflix or Hulu in places where these services are either blocked or inaccessible. They have 3,000 servers in over 55 countries, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Australia can be represented, as this area often gets neglected, which is fine.
They boast shifting, unlimited bandwidth and speeds, as well As anonymous webmail support for absolute anonymity and privacy, which is remarkable, to say the very least. The company sells VPN routers that are pre-flashed.
Speed is just one of the regions where TorGuard prevails. When tested, the Rates proved to be very fast, ranging from good to excellent, very secure and reliable. Exceptional results were attained through the UK and Netherlands servers, which is frequently the case with VPN services . Of course, slower speeds were attracted by connecting to more servers, but that you always connect to the server.
We were pleased to see there were No DNS or WebRTC flows whatsoever. Torguard Infringement
There's more than 1 way to create an encrypted tunnel Via VPN. My method employs the OpenVPN protocol, which is known for being reliable and fast. It, so you can rest assured that its code has been picked over for potential vulnerabilities.
TorGuard clearly believes in giving people choices, and it Supports many VPN protocols, including OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP, and IPSec. TorGuard also comprises Stealth VPN protocols, which utilize SSL VPN so as to prevent an entity from obstructing the VPN traffic. These include OpenVPN Stealth, ShadowSocks, Stunnel, and AnyConnect (also Called OpenConnect).
Other companies provide tools to stop VPN blocking Very similar to Stealth VPN, albeit with various names. TunnelBear and Golden Frog VyprVPN offer this attribute, to mention two. A TorGuard representative explained that customers can double their Stealth protection by connecting via OpenVPN Stealth or OpenConnect and then use ShadowSocks or Stunnel to conquer deep packet inspection which may be employed to obstruct VPN use. Most people probably will not make the most of the, but it is good that TorGuard makes these attempts to make sure its customers can protect themselves and their data.
You need to trust that the VPN you use, because the company Behind it may end up with insight in your online activities. That is why when VPNs are reviewed by me, I speak with all the vendors and read the entire privacy policy. In the case of TorGuard, this last part was straightforward. The company has and among the easiest to read.
More important, the policy's content is good for consumers. This section says it all:"TorGuard.net doesn't store or log any traffic or use from the Virtual Private Network (VPN) or Proxy." The business acknowledges that it will collect information but keep in mind it also allows the use of payment procedures.
Better still, TorGuard says that it only enriches revenue From subscription revenue, instead of selling data. The organization's policy isn't to sell or transfer. The exception to this is if the provider feels it's obliged to abide by legal action.
That final point is something echoed by VPN businesses, That is why it's important that you understand where these businesses can be found and under what jurisdiction they operate. Some nations have more privacy-friendly legislation than others. The company behind TorGuard is VPNetworks LLC, which can be located in the US. That provider is, in turn, owned by parent company VPNetworks LTD, LLC, located on the Caribbean island of Nevis. I can't talk to this legal framework of Nevis, but for its part the US has no laws requiring the retention of information.
Before, some VPN companies used to inject ads into Users' web traffic to be able to monetize their users. An agent from TorGuard confirms that the company doesn't utilize this strategy, stating,"It is not something we'd even contemplate." Torguard Infringement
Servers and Server Locations
I look at the amount of servers, While I examine VPNs The business has available for use. The more servers you will find available, the more likely you are to find one that is not exceptionally crowded, giving you a bigger piece of bandwidth.
TorGuard has expanded its host supplying, and it Now boasts over 3,000 servers. That sets it up there using Private Online Access$2.91 at Personal Internet accessibility as one of the most robust VPN services I've yet reviewed. NordVPN leads the pack in sheer size supporting over 5,200 servers.
In addition, I look at where those servers are situated. The more Geographic selections available, the more choice you have if you want to spoof your location. A strong geographic distribution also means that you're more likely to discover a nearby server when traveling, and a nearby server ensures lower latency and better performance.
TorGuard currently offers VPN servers in over 53 countries. These are well distributed across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. I'm happy to realize that TorGuard has servers in India, and many servers around Africa and the Middle East, as these areas tend to be ignored by other VPN services. Especially, TorGuard also has servers in China, Russia, and Turkey, that are famous for their internet policies. Hide My Ass dominates among VPN services, however. CyberGhost$2.75 in CyberGhosthas fewer server locations, but it does offer physical servers in underserved areas like Africa and South America.
Some consumers fear about VPN companies using virtual servers. All these are servers that are software-defined, meaning that a single hardware server may run several virtual servers . These virtual servers can be configured to appear to be in various places than where they're truly located. That is an issue if you are concerned about where your data is headed, and if you would like to steer clear of specific regions. A TorGuard representative explained that the company doesn't use virtual servers, which means you'll have no trouble here. Torguard Infringement
In my testing, I installed TorGuard's software on A Lenovo ThinkPad T460slaptop running Windows 10.
The TorGuard client installed quickly and easily, though It is not a thrill to behold. The app is minimal, appearing a bit more like a mobile app than something I'd expect on a . There are the donkeys from Hide My Ass, or not one of those bears featured in TunnelBear. It does not even have a map interface, which is a staple of many VPN apps. It seems a great deal more like the Private online Access.
Rather than displaying a map or recommending servers for Particular activities, TorGuard just has a list of servers. That is fine, but again, it isn't quite friendly to new users. Neither are the choices on the primary window of the app. The average user is probably not going to mess with these, but media pros will undoubtedly appreciate having these choices front and centre. A link in the bottom of the program opens a window filled with even more byzantine options. This app does not just look like Internet Access that is Personal, it seems to target exactly the type of user that is confident.
While I am willing to Generate a Good Deal of adjustments for design, One factor of TorGuard's Windows app (and, in reality, all its other apps, too) bothers me. Will detect that VPN server is closest or has the lowest latency. TorGuard does not do this. It's a small thing, but changed.
TorGuard offers a Switch list does. TorGuard will quit any programs if the VPN link be disrupted. It is a security measure ensuring that none of your information is transmitted via an unencrypted connection. TorGuard's Kill Change is restricted, though. I found that you can only add applications that are already running to the list. It also uses the weird titles you see. NordVPN lets you specify applications that aren't currently running to add to the protected list, which is quite handy.
VPN services include specialized servers. NordVPN And ProtonVPN are two which provide servers particularly. TorGuard includes a few: stealth servers meant to be almost impossible to be blocked by firewalls.
Streaming services take a dim view of VPNs. That is That is not intended for your geographical region As it's possible to use a VPN to spoof access content and your location. Even if you live in the US but are vacationing in the united kingdom, streaming video services may block your efforts to VPN back in your home country.
I had been while connected to a New York VPN server Unable to view any content on Netflix. Obviously, which may change at an instant's notice, which is true even for VPNs who worked with Netflix in my testing.
Note that section 4.3 of the Netflix terms of service Mentions that it uses certain technologies to verify your location, and that you eligible for content in the region where you made your account. It doesn't explicitly prohibit the use of a VPN but don't say we didn't warn you if your account becomes blocked.
TorGuard Delivers a series of services dedicated to anonymity And privacy online. Along with its fundamental VPN service, TorGuard also sells Anonymous Torrent Proxy for $5.95 per month; Anonymous Email for $6.95 a month; and the Privacy Bundle, which contains both Proxy and VPN support, for $11.95 per month.
If You're tempted for the Anonymous Proxy support Rather than the VPN support because it is cheaper, know that the proxy is designed to filter only BitTorrent traffic, whereas all you do online is protected by the VPN service. If you are currently seeding torrents or grabbing a torrent, the proxy makes sure nobody sees your real IP address. But your web browsing and other internet activity isn't included. It's a case of internet anonymity versus all the time. Torguard Infringement
The TorGuard iPhone apphas a striking, Slick appearance. It's not going to win any design awards, but it's far, far better than the Windows or even Android programs. That said, we believe the program that is iPhone is actually so easy as to be somewhat confusing to use.
When we last reviewed TorGuard, we noted that it did not Include our preferred OpenVPN protocol. Instead, the program uses IKEv2. We're also happy to find that its iPhone VPN performed well on this platform, also.
We like that the TorGuard Android apphas a split Tunneling the majority of the features, as well as feature that you'll see in the Windows program. But, TorGuard drops the ball in style. We find the program to be perplexing, and feel it will be conducive to new users. On installation that did not inspire confidence, it also generated an odd warning in our testing. While the core TorGuard support is a great one, it is outshone by better-designed Android VPN programs.
Sadly, the TorGuard program does not possess the Modicum of panache which found its way into the app. It is not bad; it's just fine. It's a gray window to get your VPN started.
TorGuard didn't impress me at the time with its rate test Scores on macOS. I look forward to taking another crack. Nevertheless, I'm very happy to see that OpenVPN is included by it. It's one of the best macOS VPNs.
TorGuard has a great deal going for it: a Price, a collection of subscription and also a geographically diverse assortment of servers. Particularly noteworthy is its focus on BitTorrent use, and also the fact that it aced our speed tests–two points which are related. TorGuard also has an superb privacy policy, one that's consumer-friendly, sweet, and short. The same can not be stated for its app expertise, which continues to sacrifice ease of use in favor of straightforwardness.
This VPN service does a lot right, and it gets a high For doing so, Score. However, it is neck-and-neck with Internet Access that is Personal, not just in terms of what it offers but it is offered by it. Both are privacy-focused, both possess many possibilities, and neither has a great UI. TorGuard, for its part, has the speed but it is beaten by Private Internet Access on usability, which explains the reason why it takes an Editors' Choice award together with TunnelBear and NordVPN. However, TorGuard is an impressive service that's well worth considering, particularly if speed is everything for you. Torguard Infringement
TorGuard provides four different subscription plans Based on the period of the subscription. You can subscribe to three months, a month, six months or one year. The longer your subscription period, the greater the discount. The monthly plan costs $9.99, the quarterly subscription costs $19.99, and the semi-annual subscription costs $29.99. If you opt for the annual subscription, which costs $59.99, you'll be paying just $4.99 per month (you will be billed the entire amount at once). TorGuard also supplies a biannual plan for its most hard-core users at a price of $99.99 billed every 2 years.
In addition to all Significant credit cards, TorGuard additionally accepts BitCoin, PayPal, UnionPay, and Alipay.

Blackbuck located for the primary time in C'garh
Home Jungle Safari
in Jungle Safari
For the primary time in Chhattisgarh, 'blackbuck' deer changed into officially spotted inside the jungles of Balod district. "Blackbuck changed into located in-situ (inside the original place) in Balod district. At the time of rescue, it turned into considered as ordinary deer. However, later we determined that it turned into a male 'blackbuck'," Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF) Wildlife KK Biden said at the same time as adding no blackbuck changed into ever noticed inside the wooded area of Chhattisgarh because of the formation of the state. According to Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Balod, Satoshi Samajdar, the injured Indian antelope, was rescued from Khuteri village in Balod on June 30.
"For wild animals, we had created several glasses of water our bodies inside the jungle at some point of March and April. It appears from the ones water our bodies the animal reached close to the nearby river where few villagers tried to harm it. However, spark off movement from police branch saved the animal's existence and it changed into passed over to us," the DFO advised The Pioneer. "The deer changed into saved underneath near clinical observation and supplied quality care. I am satisfied to tell that the healthy and hearty blackbuck has been despatched to Nandan Van zoo in Raipur," she added.
"Since Chhattisgarh no longer has any recorded records of blackbuck, it's miles new and interesting scenario. So we will now launch huge transects line operation in all tiers to discover its circle of relatives so they will be conserved," she stated. Notably, in Chhattisgarh, blackbucks are presently kept at Jungle Safari (Naya Raipur) and Barn apart sanctuary. Blackbucks have been classified as "near threatened" animals via International Union of Conservation of Nature (IUCN) seeing that 2003. Union Minister of Environment and Forest (MoEF) has additionally declared blackbuck as endangered species.
Interestingly, in keeping with retired IFS officer RN Deshmukh (Madhya Pradesh cadre), blackbucks were observed within the jungles of Chhattisgarh in the 1950s. In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister and Forest Minister, he claimed that he had spotted blackbucks returned in 1976 inside the jungles of Mudipar Lachhna in Khairagarh whilst he changed into published as DFO Kawardha. "In 1982, while I become posted as DFO Mahasamund (Production), I had seen blackbucks within the jungles of Moringa Khaulidabri in Kharora," RN Deshmukh claimed.
There are countless opportunities to develop a safari subject matter room for kids. This look is most usually desired with little boys' aid and can have packages that are very appropriate for younger ladies and teenagers. The easiest way to begin is by selecting a safari bedding set to apply because of the initial centerpiece. There are many covers and comforter sets available that depict safari scenery and animals, including lions, zebras, giraffes, and tigers.
Safari bedding may be observed in bold and dynamic colorations and greater muted, earth-tone sunglasses. There is likewise the option of animal print bedding with zebra, giraffe, or leopard print styles. However, when I actually have designed a safari room for a teen, I typically decide to start with a solid tan or creme color comforter. I comprise the animal print patterns into cushions positioned on the bed, and large ones at the ground, in three businesses.
Walls may be painted in a coloration taken immediately from the bedding, in a more muted tone, or perhaps a bolder one, relying upon the appearance you're seeking. Colors maximum typically associated with a safari subject matter are tan, inexperienced, or ivory. Paint color can also reflect the Savannah's, the usage of tans, gold's and ivories, with the ceiling having some blue introduced to indicate the huge expanse of sky. For an older toddler, smooth tones of brown work properly. If there's a foremost color within the bedding, inclusive of shiny orange, this may also be an innovative approach to take.

MIT Report on Civic Crowdfunding
June 5, 2014 News, Under the Hoodcitizinvestor, civic crowdfunding, donation platform, fiscal sponsorship, flexible finish, ioby, kickstarter, memphis, miami-dade county, mit, neighborly, rodrigo davies, spacehiveErin Barnes
The leadership team at ioby wants to take this opportunity to commend Rodrigo Davies on his excellent, recently published research on the emerging field of civic crowdfunding. We're grateful to have had the chance to work with him and share our work in his research process over the last two years. He's taken the field a huge step forward, and we couldn't be happier about it. Thanks also to Salon.com, Rockefeller Foundation, FastCompany and Next City, for contributing recent stories on the topic (by the way, to those Next City readers who decide to crowdfund your urban chicken farm, here's a video, on how to start your urban chicken farm once you've crowdfunded it on ioby).
As the first U.S.-based civic crowdfunding platform and the civic platform that has supported the largest number of projects to date, we wanted to take this opportunity to share our opinions on a few of the challenges that Rodrigo has raised, and respond with a few case studies of our own.
In his blog announcing his report, Rodrigo raises two important questions that ioby leadership has some pretty strong opinions about. They are "Will civic crowdfunding deter public investment or encourage it?" and "Will civic crowdfunding widen wealth gaps?"
To the first question, thus far, ioby's crowd-resourcing platform only suggests that our successful campaigns encourage public investment, and greater investment of all kinds. ioby campaigns, because they are funded by neighbors, implicitly demonstrate community buy-in, support and long-term stewardship. Supporting an ioby campaign is akin to a petition, where instead of signing your name, you give $35. It's a powerful reminder to decision makers in public investment how difficult it is to assess whether communities truly support new projects.
Rodrigo's second question is a little more complicated. Crowdfunding, even all $6B worldwide, is a relatively small portion of overall financial transactions, so it's hard for us to assess a claim about wealth gaps at this time. But, taken at the neighborhood scale, it's an interesting question. ioby projects are required to have a public benefit, so no matter who from the neighborhood gives to a project, the entire neighborhood can benefit. In some sense this could be considered a transfer of wealth from private assets to public assets within the same community. Rodrigo's paper speaks to this definition of civic crowdfunding in terms of the production of the public good at length (beginning on page 28). But, having a public good accessible to all residents of a neighborhood, isn't the same thing as increasing wealth or access to wealth (or decreasing either).
For now, the best we can do to answer the question is explain how ioby operates to in terms of a wealth dynamic in communities. ioby's mission is to deliver resources (timely, right-sized funding) into the hands of civic leaders at the neighborhood scale undertaking projects for positive change. We work intentionally to support leaders in underserved neighborhoods, and the majority of ioby projects are in neighborhoods with average household incomes at or below the poverty level, led by residents of those neighborhoods, funded by the residents of those neighborhoods. Grounded in asset-based community development, ioby's foundational principles are that residents of communities know what's best for their neighborhoods and are the best equipped to design, implement, and steward local solutions. In addition, we believe that funding by neighbors is an important civic engagement tactic, source of personal accountability, and source of patient capital — the community itself.
And finally, no ioby projects were selected as case studies, but some speak to some of the questions Rodrigo has raised.
In Next City's September 2012 Forefront, When We're All Urban Planners, you can read about a resident-led urban chicken farm in Cypress Hills Brooklyn, supported by the Verde program at the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation, which was supported by a match campaign from the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation.
We think an important use of crowdfunding is responding to urgent needs, like the ioby campaign Muckraking the Mayflower Oil Spill, a collaboration between the Arkansas Times and InsideClimateNews.com, who raised $26k to put two reporters on the ground in Mayflower, Ark, during a particularly underreported oil spill. The results of their work were notably a state-wide health inspection of affected families which found exposure to hazardous fumes significant enough that the State of Arkansas brought a lawsuit against Exxon Mobile. Read the story here.
The tactical urbanism project, the 78th Street Play Street, is a great example of building civic engagement. Watch Erin Barnes speak about this case study at Poptech's City Resilient.
The Hampline, a state-of-the-art, two-way, protected and signalized bike lane in the Binghampton neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee is an excellent example of civic crowdfunding and public investment used together, and of civic crowdfunding used as leverage to secure additional private funding. You can read all about it in the Memphis local paper the Commercial Appeal.
And finally, if you're still reading, we do want to build on and underscore a few points from Rodrigo's massive tome. First, ioby's name is written in all lower case because our name comes from the opposite of NIMBY, and because ioby is a place for resident-led, neighbor-funded projects in public spaces that make neighborhoods stronger and more sustainable. We're a mission driven 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to working in underserved neighborhoods. Our goal is to provide access to untapped source of patient capital – the community itself – and to amplify local work to a national audience in those communities that often have a greater number of local challenges and fewer resources available with which to address them. Our fundraising training program teaches communities to pool funds as startup or demonstration funding that can be leveraged to access other funds.
All of this is to say that ioby's work is defined by collective grassroots action, working from the ground up, thus the all lower case name, the lowest median project budget size ($1,725) and ioby's average donation amount (just $35).
ioby serves neighborhood residents. ioby Leaders must be residents in the neighborhood of their project. And most ioby Donors live within a couple miles of the project site. But we do work with governments, and have a long history of working with the NYC Mayor's Office of Long Term Planning and Sustainability, the Miami-Dade County Office of Sustainability and the City of Memphis Office of the Mayor and Shelby County Office of Sustainability. We strive to work as a flexible facilitator to recognize the role of community leadership in meeting municipality goals and to expedite citizen interactions with governing agencies. We believe crowd-resourcing, as ioby defines it, can be a useful listening tool for government to understand where its citizenry's interests and concerns are. In addition, we've just published two guide books for citizens working for change in Miami-Dade and in Memphis.
And finally, in response chart on page 40 in Rodrigo's report, we want to mention that ioby's tax-deductible donations are available to individuals and organizations not associated with a 501c3 by acting as a fiscal sponsor, most closely like a Type C fiscal sponsor (details here). For a complete list of ways that ioby differs from similar platforms, check out our blog on the topic.

Getting Good Done Miami
January 31, 2014 Events, ioby Leader Guide, Meet Vision, Miami, Recipes for Changecity of miami sustainability, eric katz, gayle zalduondo, getting good done, Ileana Collazo, ioby, Marta Viciedo, miami, miami green lab, miami-dade county, practical skillsErin Barnes
The January 30 Getting Good Done Miami conversation at the Miami Green Lab was an exciting event. More than 60 of you came out on a rainy night to share practical skills and challenges in doing positive community-based work in Miami.
A full podcast from the event will be available soon. Until then, you can read the storify here.
We were really grateful to have several members of Miami city and Miami-Dade county staff at the event to work with community activists on expediting their great ideas for Miami. Special thanks to Nichole Hefty and Susannah Troner from the Miami-Dade County Office of Sustainability, for initiating this partnership with ioby that is now one year in the making.
We also wanted to recognize Christian Guerrero, the Chief of the Environmental Plan Review at the county, Carlos Hernandez from the County Wastewater Division, and Patrice Gillespie Smith, from the County Community Image Manager for bringing their great ideas to the table. Thanks also to Glen Hadwen from the City of Miami Sustainability for hosting the event at the Miami Green Lab.
Our speakers, Marta Viciedo, Eric Katz, Ileana Collazo and Gayle Zalduondo shared fascinating presentations with us about their projects (all found on ioby.org/miami).
Notable among the practical skills shared to Get Good Done were a focus on taking small steps initially to build support and work within a limited budget at first. The speakers shared that using a light, tactical intervention at first, like a pop-up park, pop-up parklet, or even a pop-up train station, can be great ways to introduce new ideas to a community. Many speakers talked about building creative partnerships and working in neighborhoods where they don't live and building community, person to person. Marta mentioned that it's really important to "be nice" when you're asking people to help you with your ideas. Ileana noted that creative alliances, like hers between artists and developers, can be long lasting. Eric shared his passion for transit-oriented development and said that it is a useful skill he's acquired in articulating his vision for bringing ecological commodities to all Miami-Dade residents. He emphasized the importance of bringing other people into his network by connecting to them to a shared vision, similar to how one might do so in a grant proposal. Gayle described her surprise when an informal conversation with a new friend about her idea to install a public chalkboard in Wynwood ended up landing her a partnership with a women and girls organization at Miami Dade College.
The Office of Sustainability at Miami-Dade County offered to create a resource guide to try to help ioby leaders and community groups figure out how to get different types of permitting. Miami-Dade County will share this resource guide with all ioby project leaders once finalized. The Office of Sustainability also offered to assist in making connections with other County staff members (and municipal staff when possible). Office of Sustainability staff can be reached at 305-375-5593 or green@miamidade.gov. It's a good idea to contact ioby first so we can help you prepare for your meeting with the county. All ioby staff are notified when you email miami@ioby.org. If you have an idea for an ioby campaign visit ioby.org/idea or email projects@ioby.org.
Thanks to Luis Munoz for these great photos!
Funders' Network for Smart Growth and Livable Cities Backs ioby Expansion
July 5, 2012 Miami, News, Under the Hoodfunders' network for smart growth and livable communities, health foundation of south florida, miami, miami-dade county, nichole hefty, sustainability, usdnErin Barnes
We are incredibly proud to announce our newest partnership with the Miami-Dade County Office of Sustainability. The staff at OOS—innovative leaders, fiercely dedicated to the future of Miami-Dade—invited ioby to replicate in Miami as an implementation partner on their five-year sustainability plan, GreenPrint. We could not be more excited about the opportunity, and we are very grateful to our lead funders, the Funders' Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities and the Health Foundation of South Florida for their support.
"It's an innovative partnership that will help us engage the community—that's where the good work gets done. ioby is a really great way for us to say to the residents of Miami-Dade County, GreenPrint is a plan for you." — Nichole Hefty, Manager, Office of Sustainability Miami-Dade County
ioby's office in Miami is funded by a special grant called the "Local Sustainability Matching Fund" (LSMF), which is a collaborative effort of the Funders' Network and the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN). LSMF is designed to catalyze partnerships between local governments and local, place-based foundations that advance on-the-ground sustainability projects, processes, and programs. We are very grateful to the philanthropic cohort supplying the national "matching pool" of funding which includes Surdna, the Kendeda Fund, New York Community Trust, Summit Foundation, and JPB Foundation.

I'm still working on my Hope You Can Cling To cards! Down to the wire! lol I have until noon tomorrow to finish my last three, so I'm thinking that MAYBE I'll make it. Here are my last four that I did. I've been playing around with watercolors and watercolor paper and just having fun with it. Have a great weekend!
Whew. I have six more HYCCT cards to go! This is the last one I made and it uses salt and watercolors for the background. You can't really see the shimmer and sparkle that is on the background, but it is a pretty neat effect. I am starting to enjoy working with my watercolors more and wish I had a different set of them. Maybe that can go on my Santa list? ;) The stamps are from a Simon Says Stamp set that came in one of their card kits this year.
I'm crossing my fingers that I can get at least three of my remaining six cards done today, maybe even four! I want to finish and it means a lot to me to get them all done.
The fabulous Karren has an awesome sketch for everyone this week at Freshly Made Sketches. I love sketches like hers, but I do admit to being a bit intimidated by them. I had an idea to combine it with one of the HYCCT challenges to do something superhero inspired. I had to use my Super Girl set of course! I love coloring her and learn new tricks every time I do it.
I loved the sketch at Fab Friday, so I decided to combine it with a Hope You Can Cling To challenge. The challenge was supposed to be kids making a card that represented their mom, but Laila wouldn't cooperate so I made one that represented MY mom. Sometimes you just gotta improvise. ;) I love this Paper Smooches set; the images are so perfect for my mom.
I'm off to take Miss Laila to the doctor to see about this lingering cough she can't seem to shake. Have a great week and I'll be checking in frequently as I show you more of my HYCCT cards.
Man! I have been out of commission for a few days thanks to my coffee spilling in the keyboard of my laptop. :( Jason fixed it as best he could, but it was typing all crazy and not making any sense. Tonight he got me a USB keyboard to hook up and now I can finally use it again. Yay! I have quite a few HYCCT cards saved up to post after being away for a few days, so you'll see quite a few of them in the next few days. I have about nine more to do before Saturday to finish them all. Whew! Today's card uses one of my favorite Two Paper Divas sets called Bee Happy. The challenge was to do a centered card where you image and sentiment were in the center. I thought the bee hive and fun hexagon stencil would be a cheerful card for a cancer patient.


24 hours after the second trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron was released, fans have been rewatching the new footage with intense scrutiny, digging up a few more clues shown in the trailer. As we mentioned earlier today when discussing the two mysterious women who pop up in the footage, there appears to be a few references to the upcoming Phase Three movie Black Panther, starring Chadwick Boseman as the title character T'challa.
The actor himself teased that his character will be introduced in more than one upcoming Marvel movie aside from his previously confirmed appearance in next year's Captain America: Civil War. Many fans thought that his cryptic statement could mean his character will be introduced in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and as you can see from the clues below, that just may be the case. Here are the five Black Panther clues we spotted in the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer.
Andy Serkis confirmed back in June that he has an on-camera role in Avengers: Age of Ultron, along with his work as a motion capture consultant for Mark Ruffalo's Hulk. While it has never been confirmed who the actor is playing, many speculated, after his brief appearance in the first trailer, the he is playing Ulysses Klaw, since his look matches the character from the comic. The actor popped up in the new trailer again, only this time we got yet another clue, with the actor sporting a claw necklace. Of course, this isn't proof-positive confirmation that Andy Serkis is Ulysses Klaw, but it certainly is a very big hint.
Earlier today, we broke down several possibilities for the identity of this mysterious woman seen in a brief shot disrobing in a cave. Two of the three possibilities we mentioned for this character, a Dora Miljae warrior and T'challa's sister Shuri, have roots in Black Panther's homeland of Wakanda. If the unidentified woman is in fact Shuri, it could set up a battle between Black Panther's sister and the aforementioned Ulysses Klaw, who, in the comic books, was responsible for the death of Black Panther and Shuri's father.
Even if the mystery woman doesn't have a connection to Wakanda, the cave itself is believed to be a Wakandan vibranium cave, which contains the metal used to make Captain America's shield. Wakanda is one of the few places in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where vibranium is found. Naturally, we don't know for sure if this is an actual vibranium cave, but it's worth noting that, in the first trailer, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) was seen in a similar cave, leading to speculation that the mystery woman may be Death, who is connected to the Asgardian in the Marvel comics. It's possible that something may happen in this cave that could set up Captain America: Civil War, where Black Panther is confirmed to appear.
4South Africa by Way of Wakanda?
Avengers: Age of Ultron is truly an international affair, with the production filming in several countries including Italy, the U.S., the U.K. and South Africa. When the South African shoot was first announced, many thought the country would be doubling for Wakanda, although that rumor was shot down in February, after it was reported that the production would shoot Johannesburg, South Africa as itself. The massive Hulk/Hulkbuster fight is set in South Africa, and one particular shot in the trailer showcases a sign for a South African restaurant franchise known as Nyama & Chips. Since it isn't known why the Avengers stop over in South Africa, there is speculation that Earth's Mightiest Heroes could be stopping there on the way to Wakanda. Of course, that hasn't been confirmed, but it does lead one to wonder why they are in South Africa in the first place.
One particularly interesting shot shows a Quinjet that appears to be flying over Wakanda, but it hasn't been confirmed that this is actually Wakanda or not. However, as you can see in the image above, the scenery does bear a striking resemblence to the image from the comics above. Do you think it's Wakanda? Or just another ruse to throw the fans off?
Avengers: Age of Ultron comes to theaters May 1st, 2015 and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Elizabeth Olsen, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Cobie Smulders, Jeremy Renner. The film is directed by Joss Whedon.
Black Panther comes to theaters November 3rd, 2017 and stars Chadwick Boseman.
