Finding the church is fairly easy, sort of! It is on the north side of the River Wear, not surprisingly in the Roker area of Sunderland. If you have an A to Z look for Roker Park Road. The church is just north of Roker Park, no not the old football ground, (which has now been turned into rabbit hutches - oops sorry - desirable residences), the actual park that was there first!
You can get a map from here
Our postcode to use in your sat nav is SR6 9DP.
For those not knowing the city, and without a sat nav, it is probably best to find the coast road, the A183, and follow it. Not necessarily the quickest method, but the safest!
Coming along the coast road from the north
The road rises quite steeply from a roundabout that used to have a silly fountain on it by the Marriot Hotel. (Brilliant idea this. Build a fountain that has to be switched off when the wind gets up. You've guessed it - the wind is nearly always up! It's only yards from the beach. A six figure sum of money wasted, but it involved European Union money and .............). They eventually filled it with earth and planted flowers! During daylight you will be able to see the church tower from around this point.
Just before the coast road starts to level out you should be able to spot the road to the church, called Rock Lodge Road, which is a couple of hundred yards inland. There is a very large Old People's Home on the corner with a clock turret.
The artistic amongst you may be interested to know that the well known artist L. S. Lowry used to have some of his holidays . in what was then called "The Seaburn Hotel" by this roundabout. He used to go over the road in his slippers and onto the promenade to paint.
Coming along the coast road from the south
The one way traffic system means you cannot turn right off the north end of the bridge over the River Wear. You must travel straight on - be in the right hand lane. If you have come from the other direction you cannot get to the bridge - not that you would want to!
You have to turn east, (i.e left from the Stadium, right from the bridge), by the Wheatsheaf Pub (pronounced "wee-chief" in Sunderland), into Roker Avernue, and then right at the traffic lights by Lidl and left at the bottom of Church Street North, near to St Peters
Follow this road until you are forced into a 90º left at a small roundabout- (unless you like driving down a cliff face!) and this is the coast road proper. You will go past the Roker Hotel raised up on your left, (you should see the two piers at the entrance to Sunderland Harbour on your right), and then you come to the corner of Roker Park, (not the old football ground, this really is a park!) Take the following left turn 100 yards or so after the park and if you don't stop you will crash into the churchyard wall by the tower!
The entrance is on the north side of the tower. When the ringing stops bang on the door announce yourself to the head that appears from the tower and the key will be ceremonially chucked down from the ringing room window!
Ringing times are:-
Sunday - 9.00 - 9.30am
Tuesday - 7.00 - 9.00pm
The band are mainly in the beginners stages, but are very keen to progress. Visitors are very welcome indeed. Do come along to see us!

1. Flash — Friend or Foe: I notice during a lot of my kids' events at an auditorium or outdoors that flash tends to be on by default. On any camera with self-contained flash and especially on a mobile device, the flash will only work in a range of 10 to 15 feet at best. This means that your flash firing when you're shooting beyond that is merely draining your battery or illuminating the backs of heads in the rows in front of you. I'd disable the flash if you are shooting any farther as it does not help you; it actually makes your picture worse.
2. Secret Setting — ISO: A lot of cameras allow you to adjust the ISO setting which is typically a number between 200 and 1600 (varies widely by camera and not all cameras allow changing). The short story on why ISO is important is that it basically helps you adjust how your camera shoots depending upon the brightness/darkness of what you are shooting. If you are in bright sunshine, you should set your ISO down to a lower number, say 200 or 400. If you are in low light or far away from stage, you should set your ISO to the highest number, say 1600 or so. So if you are in the bleachers at an auditorium, disable your flash and crank your ISO up. An important caveat here is that the higher the ISO, the higher the noise in your picture so shooting in low light at high ISOs, will give you grainier pictures. But sometimes that the best you can hope for. A bit technical but super important in having a shot versus nothing.
3. Image Quality— The short story here is that , in my opinion, you should shoot at the highest image quality possible. By default, a lot of cameras are on intermediate as using the highest resolution consumes more memory. Given how inexpensive cards and memory are for cameras, I don't think it's a good tradeoff to sacrifice space for quality. Also, if you have a higher end camera, you typically can shoot in JPEG mode or native mode or both. I would shoot in both or native as memory is fairly inexpensive and if you are a photo geek, shooting in native mode will enable you much flexibility and range in your photo editing. I advise avoiding JPEG completely if you plan on doing any photo editing. Caveat: shooting in native mode means you typically have to convert to another format to get it printed.
4. Printing — No matter how good your shot is, if the photo printing is poor, your framed portrait will suffer. As processing quality is highly variable at the local chains, I advise that you take the same image and ask a few places to print a 5×7 and compare results. You will be stunned. For my important shots, I take them to Photo Images in Glenville. Locally I prefer Walgreens for more standard portraits.
6. Monopods — If you don't want to lug a tripod around, you can gain more stability for video with a monopod. Of course, not helpful with a mobile device but for handheld video it gives you a way to avoid the Blair Witch effect.

Q: STM32F4 Flash memory programming So I have STM32F4 board and long story short - I am stuck at putting a user defined number (0 - 60) in FLASH memory, so after restarting, I could use last-used-settings.
How do I allocate correct space in flash memory, so it doesn't interfere with my code? How to I store it?

A: Write data to Flash memory via EEPROM Emulation, as described in Application Note AN3969: EEPROM emulation in STM32F40x/STM32F41x microcontrollers, here.

A: To save a value to restart after an unexpected shutdown, it would be much better to use a byte of battery backed RAM than try to write to Flash.
An update of one byte in flash has to erase then update the entire 'sector'. According to ST's datasheet, the typical time for a 16kB sector erase is 250ms for a STM32F405/7 (5.3.12 "Memory characteristics", Table 40 "Flash memory programming"). If power is lost while flash is being updated, the entire sector may be corrupted. Also, the whole sectr is erased, so it can't be used for code. It depends on the exact STM32 part, but the smallest sector might be 16kB, which might be quite a lot to lose for the sake of one byte.
A smaller further problem with Flash is that it is only guaranteed for 10k erase/write cycles. This might be plenty for your application, but a bug in the program could burn through those in an hour or two.
Other things to consider, while Flash is being written, the CPU will be stalled from accessing that sector, so it won't be able to update the magic value, so you might need to protect access to the value with some code to check Flash is not being changed. So it might be more complex than you expect to use.
The obvious alternative, without adding an external EEPROM, is use battery backed RAM. This is slightly more complex to program than using an in-memory variable because it is part of the RTC which needs to be initialised. However once it set up, it can be read and written with only a few extra instructions. So it's access time is sub-microsecond, fast enough to use in an interrupt service routine, and it won't wear out.
This does mean you need to be able to get at the VBat pin, and connect it to a small battery, e.g. a hearing aid battery.

Well....you know....but honestly - myself and 2 wonderful girlfriends, Mary and Kate headed off to Kates beautiful home in Folly for 3 days of fun. We always have so much planned and never get to do even half which is fine; there's always next time. We unpack the car and are off and running.
On the agenda this time around is ice dyeing, acid dyeing and Rit dyeing....along with great food, champagne and watching beautiful sunsets.
An hour after we got there and Mary is diving right in with ice dyeing. Ice dyeing involves laying down wet and scrunched up fabric treated with soda ash, a layer of ice cubes and dye powder on top of that.
As the ice melts at different rates, so does the dyes striking the fabric at different times giving a very crystal like affect. We used all sorts of fabric...not just white. We were on a mission to use up many of our "not so pretty" fabrics to save them from the trash.
and with great enthusiasm, started spinkling the dye powders....OH...wait a minute, we forgot the ice!
But then we thought better of it...what if we get this amazing piece and have no idea what colors we used...Between the 3 of us, we had tons of colors....so the easy way out - to take a picture of the dyes as a reference.
Years ago when I first ventured into dyeing with procion MX, I made large swatches of all the dyes I had. It has been one of the best investments of time and energy. I never dye anything without referring to these swatches and possible color combinations. I have also bleached 3 areas on each piece to see how that particular color will discharge. I used regular household bleach - diluted, soft scrub and discharge paste. All bleach out differently as you can see in the swatches.
I have also over the years collected over 100 dye colors...many of which I find I don't use so I'm trying to get rid of those colors. I didn't succeed with too many but those that did, the swatch went into a batch for over-dyeing.
Kate had some fabrics that were blends and not good candidates for MX dyeing so she was anxious to try Rit dye - good for any fiber except nylon. I remember years ago before I knew what procion dyes were, I would dye bathroom rugs to give them new life.
And speaking of bay...as happy hour approaches...we take our wine and walk the long walk out to the boat dock at Kates house...yes... this is the view she has...it is magical and wondrous.
It's that time again, our monthly gathering of Fiber Junkies where we love to play, share and drink champagne. We do our Show and Tell in the beginning, giving us a longer span of time to play with techniques.
Kate has been trying to use up her scraps and made this very happy quilt with lots of colorful scraps.
She quilted it with her long arm using a floral pattern, adding even more charm to the piece.
Denny showed us a piece which was her last piece for her 10 year Masters Class with Hollis Chatelaine. I love this piece; it depicts the International Womens March back in January. I know Denny was a part of it and also remember it being a very rainy day which did not stop anyone from coming. It was a sea of umbrellas under which stood some incredible and determined women.
The background is interesting with silk screening used as an overlay on top of foliage type fabric. Fabric trees were also appliqued on.
If you remember my blog from retreat, Mary was working on a large quilt for her 4 year old grandson...and she finished it and brought it to share - lucky little guy!
Gen has been downsizing and in anticipation of that is finding creative projects that take up less space. She admits to loving collage and in particular, this book which has served as a wonderful source of exercises and inspiration.
These are some of the little pieces she has done using all kinds of techniques. What a great way to try out new things.
Onto the technique for the day - transferring with transparencies. You will need transparencies. I got these online and liked the fact that they have a paper edge at the bottom making it easy for the printer to grab and start printing. Use an inkjet printer as the inks have to be water soluble. You will also need an image to transfer. You can get the image onto your computer by scanning or from your camera. Any kind of image will work - line drawings or more solid imagery.
The other thing you'll need is an acrylic medium (I prefer matte finish) or a colorless extender. I didn't know about using an extender but Denny brought us each a container and it worked very well.
You'll also need fabric - either solid or patterned like the above. Keep in mind that the transparency allows much of the fabric to show through.
This image was scanned into the computer and than printed onto the transparency. I used the same settings as I would for anything I would print. Some printers have an option for transparency but most dont; use the standard - plain white paper setting and "normal" quality print. Many of the images were enhanced in a photo editing program first.
To transfer the image, coat the fabric with a thin layer of acrylic medium. Immediately place the transparency image side down and using a burnisher or the back of a spoon, rub over the entire transparency until the image is on the fabric. The "wetness" of the fabric will loosen the ink allowing it to transfer. This part may take a little "elbow grease". You can gently lift up the corner of the transparency to see how it is going.
Val wanted to use this picture of an elephant which was scanned into the computer, enhanced a bit and also enlarged. Your image will always be a mirror image of what you start with so if you're doing writing or something that you want to be in a specific direction, make sure you flip the image in photoshop first to get the mirror image before printing.
And here you can see the elephant is reversed...which was fine with Val. I do love the way the rusted fabric peeks through the elephant at different points giving it an eerie quality.
Kate had a great line drawing which transferred very well.
She started with a mottled blue fabric.
and transferred them to fabric...Pretttty cooool....A great day as always.
This will be a beautiful bargello piece when done.
Linda has become an avid knitter; these are socks for Kate...I'm in line to get a pair but don't know if I can bring myself to wear them...too beautiful.
Barbara was working on blocks and at this point up to 3 large pieces...a very interesting piece and I look forward to seeing it completed.
With leftover fabric from Mary's quilt, Kate made this piece. It's fun to see the very different looks from the same fabrics.
Kate was also working on a community quilt, ran out of squares to make a 5th row and decided to make 2 blocks using scraps to make a 9 patch (opposite corners). Kate literally had a few threads leftover and we all thought the newest blocks really added an element of surprise.
take a break and do aerobics with our fearless leader - Georgia!
Well, 5:00 and it's Happy Hour time and back to the house.. ... lots of nibbles and bubbly and laughing!
And as the saying goes....what happens in Lake Logan, stays in Lake Logan...For that we are all grateful.
and the socks that say it all ..."If you can read this...Bring me some wine"....Girlfriends are the best!

Top 7 Best Turntables Under 500 Dollars Reviews
Great Value: U-Turn Audio Orbit Plus
U-Turn Audio is a company that specialized in making great turntables and turntable components. They're relatively new, starting their work back in the early 2010s through a Kickstarter campaign, eventually building their name as one of the most reliable manufacturers in the field. They're still a small independent company, but that's the best way for them to keep the quality at the desired level.
From U-Turn's arsenal of products, we've decided to include Orbit Plus turntable on the list. The first obvious difference compared to some otherwise "conventional" turntables is the acrylic platter. With it, the user gets more consistency when it comes to the playback speed, as well as a more detailed playback. Orbit Plus also comes with Ortofon's OM5E cartridge and its elliptical diamond needle.
Another quality feature here is its tonearm, the Precision OA2. This is a straight arm, which is what certain turntablists prefer over S-type arms. With the OA2, users can get less distortion in the tone. What's more, it features an adjustable counterweight for extra control and its internal anti-skate.
A very exciting feature, both functionally and aesthetics-wise, is the external belt drive. It not only offers noise-free operation (motors can be a little problematic), but it also provides great speed consistency. In addition, it looks really cool, especially with the transparent acrylic platter. To be fair, there's rarely any turntable out there that's as innovative and eye-pleasing as U-Turn Audio's Orbit Plus.
Lots of Features: Pioneer PLX 500
Now going over to some of the older and more "classic" companies, we have Pioneer. Their reputation needs no special introduction, as they've been making some of the best quality audio equipment under this name since the 1960s. Aside from the standard hi-fi home stereo stuff, we can also find stuff like turntables especially made for DJs. From their vast collection of products, we've chosen PLX500K for this list.
Kind of similar to its "bigger brother" PLX 1000, it bears the same recognizable design and aesthetics, along with great sound and great build qualities. In its essence, PLX 500 is intended to reproduce the tone of even the best-quality records.
But while you can get those purest fully analog sounds from it, PLX 500 also features USB connectivity and great analog to digital conversion. All you need to do is plug it into your personal computer (works both with Windows and MAC OS), and it will be ready for action in any standard DAW or any other recording software of your choice. You can also pair it up with the company's rekordbox dvs and RB-VS1-K Control Vinyl for some full real-time performance features. When it comes to these digital features, we're not sure whether there's any other turntable in this price range that comes close to what PLX 500 is capable of.
Looking into it further, we have an aluminum die-casting platter, the three-phase motor with standard playback speeds (33 1/3, 45, and 78 rotations per minute), +-8% rotation speed adjustment range, and many other features. There's also the phono/line switch for different settings one performer might need. In the end, it's equipped with a standard S-shape tonearm, which some turntablists might prefer over straight ones.
Aside from all this, it makes for a great record player in the conventional sense. The addition of the USB connectivity and the quality analog to digital conversion makes it possible for you to convert those old and rare valuable records into digital files.
Most Innovative: Pro-Ject Audio RPM 1 Carbon
And right on the edge of this list's price range, we have Pro-Ject Audio and their RPM 1 Carbon turntable. And we have to say that this is one pretty innovative and compact piece. Even those more expensive turntables won't be able to impress you like RPM 1 Carbon can.
First off, this one has a low resonance chassis which bears a very innovative inverted platter. It also features a ceramic ball which adds to the overall stability of the device and reduces rumble. The design might seem pretty unusual, but it's so well-thought-of that you won't need to worry about any unwanted additions in your performances.
There's a simple 15-volt AC motor on the outside. It is driven using a very precise AC generator with the DC power supply. Overall, these are all designed to bring more stability to the operation. The company also dedicated a lot of time in designing the tonearm and all of its features. Here we have the standard S-type shape, but it's fully made of carbon. Made through a special 3-step process that involves heat and pressure treatment, the arm is really rugged and its operational stability is improved.
This turntable also comes with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge. This one is shielded and protected, ensuring both stability and a great tone.
In the end, there's something for all those who care about design and aesthetics. Pro-Ject Audio has ensured to make everyone satisfied with a few different color finishes – black, red, and white. And all three of these color options go well with the black tonearm and its standard carbon color pattern. The platter surface, the motor, and the belt are also black in all three variants, but it all fits so well together.
The Most Stylish Design: Teac TN-400S
To go back to some more "conventionally" designed turntables, we've chosen to feature Teac's TN-400S for this list. But while it's conceived with the classic formation in mind, the overall aesthetics and looks definitely stand out. We would argue that this is the perfect and most tasteful combination of some classic traits and innovative additions. It comes in a few different color finishes, but the Walnut version stands out in our eyes. It's pretty obvious that Teac had pleasing stylistic qualities in mind when making these.
But not to make it all about the aesthetics, this is, above all, one very functional and well-made turntable for semi-professional or even professional work. There's the standard S-type arm here with some special balancing and stability features. The stability features are also enhanced with its motor, belt-driven operation with the Neoprene rubber belt, aluminum die-cast platter, and its high-torque DC motor. TN-400S operates with the three standard speeds – 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM.
As for the outputs, we have the standard phono and line modes, designed for different settings. The diversity is enhanced with the inclusion of USB connectivity. All of the connectors on the turntable are also resistant to corrosion, which is definitely useful in the long run.
It's also worth noting that the analog to digital conversion works pretty well with it. The overall sound quality is pretty great and there are no low-end hums when using it through regular analog outputs. However, all of these qualities are present when used with its digital USB output. The analog to digital conversion is definitely done well with TN-400S.
Most Reliable: Pro-Ject Audio Debut Carbon
Being a smaller manufacturer on the market is far from an easy task. But knowing that staying competitive is a priority, Pro-Ject Audio made sure never to disappoint with their line of products. This is exactly why we decided to include at least one more of their products as one of the best turntables under the $500 price mark. For this purpose, we have their classic and very simple to use Debut Carbon turntable. It takes no more than a glance to realize how straightforward it is.
Debut Carbon is the first model in the series, released back in the 1990s. Knowing that it's still in production to this day, this clearly shows the device's potential. It was quite an advancement back in the day, and it still keeps the standards up high.
The most obvious change came with a carbon tonearm. Although we have the same principle that we can see with the aforementioned RPM-1 Carbon, the tonearm is a straight one. Of course, which formation is better is open for discussion. But if you prefer straight over S-shaped arms, Debut Carbon is definitely one of the first turntables to consider, both in this price range and outside of it.
The turntable itself comes with a few different goodies as well. You'll also get a useful dust cover, felt mat, RCA cable, and even a 7-inch singles adapter. With all this being said, it's pretty obvious that Pro-Ject's Debut Carbon is one of the best deals for the price, at least in the given price scope.
Simplest to Use: Rega – RP1
What we really love about RP-1 by Rega is the overall simplicity, both in design and its operation. In some way similar to Debut Carbon, you're immediately aware that you have a very straightforward device at your disposal.
Although it's generally considered to be an entry-level turntable, we'd argue that RP-1 is capable of dealing with some semi-pro and professional settings. The first thing that we can notice is the good sound quality, something you'd not expect in this price range. Secondly, this is a very stripped-down "plug and play" kind of device, which is definitely a preferable solution for many turntablists out there, coming from all of the skill level groups.
The only downside that we'd mention is that it features only two playback speed settings, 33 1/3 and 45, which is somewhat of a disappointment for this particular price range.
Nonetheless, RP-1 still delivers stability in playback and performance. There's a well-built straight aluminum alloy tonearm, phenolic resin platter, as well as Ortofon's OM 5E cartridge. To sum it all up – although it's somewhat of a stripped-down and simplified turntable, it delivers some really great performance qualities with it. And, in the end, this is something that certain users might even prefer.
Best Overall: Rega – Planar 1
While we're at it, we figured we could bring in another Rega turntable to the list. When talking about what's the best turntable under 500 dollars, there's definitely going to be a mention of Planar 1. And to be completely frank, we couldn't really find any potential flaws a turntable can have at this particular price range. What's more, we'd argue that this is the best choice overall for our set price range.
Checking out the platter, we quickly realized that the accent was given to its stability. It's a little heavier and features an improved flywheel effect that helps with stability at any playback speed. While we're at it, performance stability is definitely enhanced with its tonearm. The part in question is RB110 – a straight tonearm designed by Rega – brings extremely low friction rates.
Looking further into it, the turntable operates with 24 volts, it has an extremely low noise rate, and the motor is designed to keep all the unnecessary vibrations in order. We can also see a reinvented brass main bearing which minimizes the energy transfer. With all this explained, it's pretty clear that stability was one of the company's main concerns when making Planar 1.
Putting all the things together, it's pretty clear that this is, overall, the best turntable that you can find under the $500 price mark. Of course, there are a few things to consider and you might prefer an S-type arm over its straight arm. But either way, you just can't go wrong with Planar 1.
Turntable Buying Guide
When getting yourself a turntable, there are a few important things that you'll need to think about before getting into the matter. Without going too much into the details, here's a brief guide for anyone looking for a turntable.
The set price will be the first "filter" when getting yourself a new (or first) turntable. But when you set the range, it'll be up to you to find the best possible quality and combination of features that suit your own needs. Any of the turntables above is definitely worth considering.
See our list of best turntables under $200 here.
Next up, you'll need to think of the overall features and how they fit your needs. If you're looking for something simple that you can just plug and play, then Rega RP1 can come as a good choice. If you need more stuff on it, then Pioneer PLX 500 is a viable option.
The tonearm is one of the essential parts and often the most divisive feature among turntablist. First, decide whether you want to go with a straight or a curved "S" tonearm. The next thing to consider is the material and whether you want carbon, aluminum, or any other type of tonearm.
Playback speeds and motor types are also things to consider when getting a new turntable.
While this might not be an essential issue, many turntablists will also think of the overall design. Once again, you'll need to know what works best for you, both functionally and aesthetically.
Turntable Frequently Asked Questions
How to Ground a Turntable?
Bad grounding can cause unwanted issues with sound and performance. In case you want to deal with it, here's what you'll need to do. First, turn off all the power to avoid any accidental electric shocks. Then you'll need to locate your turntable's grounding wire, which shouldn't be hard as they're always connected to the metal chassis and it's usually green. After that, you'll need to find the ground terminal on the amp and the receiver, which is usually on the back. Connect the grounding wire and the amp's grounding terminal.
How to Connect Turntable to a Soundbar?
Playing your turntable through a soundbar or home stereo is one of the easiest ways to get the party going without much hassle. In some cases, turntables feature Bluetooth connection, which makes it really easy to connect. If there's no Bluetooth connection, then you can do it via a standard audio cable. Most of the turntables feature RCA outputs, so you'll need a cable with RCA connectors on one side and the regular 3.5 mm jack on the other. In case your soundbar, home stereo, or any other audio system has the larger 1/4-inch jack, then you'll need a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) to 1/4-inch adapter.
Whatever is the PA system, home stereo, or a soundbar, you'll always find ways to connect your turntable to it.

In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house – certain things need to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly.
When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse. If you tried to build your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. These concepts apply to your body as well, and chiropractic care addresses many common reasons why people experience pain and other health issues. If something is not right with your body's foundation, that needs to be addressed before true health can be achieved. With chiropractic care, your body must go through a specific plan of care to repair itself correctly and fully.
If you are in pain when you come into our Round Rock chiropractic office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times per week for 2-12 weeks.
At Gardner Chiropractic: Family and Wellness Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in our Round Rock chiropractic office, but please call us at 512-387-3308 if you have any questions!

ESET Endpoint Security Reviews

KennethLo
IT Manager at Version 2 Limited
A reliable anti-malware and security suite for small, midsize, and large businesses
"It has a clean and clear interface."
"ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks."
We use this solution to protect our endpoints from malware, zero-day attack, etc.
It has a clean and clear interface. The performance on the endpoint, no matter the system, its resource usage is low. We have pretty good detection, at least I feel that we don't have any major infections — we love it.
We can use this solution to perform lots of tasks, like upgrading. We can integrate with Windows. Some of the patches don't update by default, by Microsoft. We can do some software installations, in-store — which is pretty easy. Whenever we upgrade, our lives become much easier.
ESET Endpoint Security should offer more integration with multi-attack frameworks. This is very important for large corporate businesses as it would provide protection against hackers, data breaches, etc.
I have been using this solution for roughly 12 years.
We experience some stability issues from time to time, but we can't confirm it's due to ESET. Some system tasks read past some script which makes it difficult for developing custom tasks. For normal installations, it's fine.
ESET Endpoint Security should be able to integrate with DLP better — that would be great. They already have EDR, but we don't use it. Some have more DLP functionality than others.
They have local support here, so they're pretty good. They seem to know what we need. Overall, I'd say their support is very good.
After we upgraded to version six, it's been pretty easy to continue upgrading. It's pretty straightforward to upgrade and install. 10 years ago, this wasn't the case. We had to install each upgrade one by one.
I think it's available for a pretty fair price. If you know how to use it, then it's a very fair price for what you get.
They provide a free trial version. Install it and try it for yourself to see the performance and test the detection capabilities. Then you can see the result; that's what I remember the first time I tried ESET.
Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give ESET Endpoint Security a rating of nine.

Great stability with good tech support
"The stability is great."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
We use the solution to try to protect against bugs. I simply install it on all our computers, in its basic format, for the purpose of dealing with basic bugs. I do not have the capabilities to use the solution for more advanced purposes. Basically, we use it for protection.
I would like for the solution to be simpler to understand. While it satisfies our needs at the moment, it is really only understandable to those with a strong computer background. It could be more user-friendly.
The solution should provide a basic standard and give instructions on how one could go about doing more complex tasks. When it comes to basic capabilities, it is fine and straightforward, so I have no complaint in this regard.
The solution could be more cost-effective, but this is a blanket statement which can be made about anything.
We have been using ESET Endpoint Security for more than five years.
The stability is great. It is perfect and effortless, which is why I like the solution. There is no need to involve oneself with this.
I suppose the solution is scalable, although I have no personal knowledge of this. I have never attempted to scale it.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted technical support on a couple of occasions. I simply call Auckland and they instruct me how to proceed. I am satisfied with the support. It is good.
The initial setup was completely simple.
It took all of a few minutes.
I handled the installation independently.
The solution requires nearly no maintenance. There are only the regular updates, which it mostly handles on its own.
As is the general rule with anything, the solution could be cheaper.
We started using the solution based on the recommendations of several friends of mine who have much familiarity with computers and have simply continued to do so.
While I don't recall the exact figure, I believe there are seven or eight users making use of the solution. We use it on our server, as well.
I would definitely recommend the solution to others.
I rate ESET Endpoint Security as a ten out of ten.

Beneficial central management, light on system resources, but detection speed could improve
"The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good."
"The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product."
We use ESET Endpoint Security for system security.
The solution is very lightweight and does not consume that much processor in terms of CPU utilization. The centralized management system is very good.
The detection could be better in ESET Endpoint Security. Sometimes it takes time to detect threats and might be because it's not holding all the memory. There are some features that have to mature. More features might be available in the higher-end product.
The cloud version of the solution could improve.
I have used ESET Endpoint Security within the last 12 months.
The stability of ESET Endpoint Security is above average but excellent.
The application updates are very good. They do not affect the performance of the PC. If the users have a medium-scale PC the solution operates very well. If the user's PCs have the latest processor and it is updated, they can use some other product. A faster PC does not get impacted by the software if it is heavier on resources.
We do not have plans to increase usage at this time. We are not using the solution extensively.
ESET Endpoint Security does not require any maintenance, it is done automatically.
We are always looking at new product technology innovation.
I have evaluated Sophos' solutions.
There is some antivirus software, such as McAfee when it is very difficult to install the software on some devices. When we patch or make some reports, it does not show them in the report. It's not communicating with the licensed software or a similar issue.
Technology is growing and changing fast. People are working from home, and office, products should be capable of handling the office and the home environments. This is the challenge.
My advice to others wanting this type of solution is to check all the Endpoint Security solutions available. The threat signatures and sandbox features are good to have if there is an attack, they can detect them and give updates for their users. The faster the better. The cloud versions of threat detection solutions are very good and are really important.
I rate ESET Endpoint Security a six out of seven.

Robust, user-friendly and offers good technical support
"Technical support has been very good. They are helpful and responsive."
"We would like to see more options in the help menu for users."
We primarily use the solution for managing the security of the endpoints.
The product is very user-friendly. It's easy to navigate and understand how to access its features is simple.
Overall, we've enjoyed using the product. It's been good.
The pricing is quite fair. It's not too expensive. We don't have any complaints.
We've found the customization to be very good.
It's not hard to integrate other products.
The stability has been very good. We haven't had any issues so far.
The initial setup is very easy. It's not a complex process.
Technical support has been very good. They are helpful and responsive.
We would like to see more options in the help menu for users. If they had more information there to help us troubleshoot or answer specific questions, that would be helpful.
I've been using the solution for four years or so.
The stability is very good. We haven't had any issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very robust.
I've never tried to scale the solution. We have never needed to scale the solution out and therefore never researched that aspect.
We have about 50 people on the solution currently.
Technical support has been very good. We find them to be knowledgeable and responsive. We're quite satisfied with their help we receive.
The initial setup is not difficult. It's very, very easy.
The deployment doesn't take very long. Normally, we take two or three months or so to handle the implementation from beginning to end.
We are just a customer and end-user. We are not a partner or reseller. We don't have a special relationship with the company.
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using at this time.
I'd recommend this solution to other organizations.
On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution at a nine. We've been quite happy with its capabilities.

Assistant Manager at Cosmopolitan Communications Limited
Good protection with reasonable pricing and good data encryption capabilities
"The pricing is good."
"While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected."
I use the solution primarily for endpoint security. In Bangladesh, I can choose the immediate endpoint security that I've installed for the channel. I went for online protection.
The protection on offer is good.
The solution allows for data encryption, which is helpful.
The pricing is good.
The solution is scalable.
The stability has been decent.
While we see dangers within our security system, it would help if there were popups that could immediately alert us or the user of the endpoint that something was detected. That way, you have an immediate warning and have to think about if you want to continue what you are doing or not. Right now, it's too slow to react, rather, allows us to react too slowly.
The performance could be better.
I've been working with the solution for the last couple of months. It hasn't been that long just yet.
Aside from not having immediate alerts to potential dangers, the solution is stable.
The solution can scale just fine.
Right now, the use is limited. We've only had it for a few months.
Currently, we're not using any technical support. Although we might in the future, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are right now. I've never contacted them.
The pricing of the product is fair. We don't find it to be overly expensive or unreasonable.
I've tried other endpoint security trials and have found ESET to be superior.
I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with ESET.
At this time, I only have it on my workstation.
The product is good for most endpoints, including laptops and desktops and works well with iOS and Windows systems.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been happy with the results I've gotten so far.

Quality signature-based detection, priced well, but EPP and EDR should be combined
"This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable."
"We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection."
I use the solution for the detection and mitigation of threats.
This solution has a traditional antivirus, I believe that signature-based detection is most valuable.
We are looking to move towards an EDR solution rather than EPP. EDR is a solution that can dynamically detect threats based on the process behavior. It would be better if this solution was an EDR and an EPP solution, this would increase security protection.
The solution is on-premise and many of our agents if they are out of the network, can hardly communicate.
I have been using the solution for three years.
The stability depends on the use case. Based on our organization, it is not that reliable. We do require some more advanced endpoint security solution such as the EDR capability.
The scalability is very good. If you need to increase the number of systems then it is flexible and able to be scaled. We have approximately 500 users using the solution in my organization.
I have experienced great customer support from the solution, they were responsive.
The installation was complicated.
The solution was implemented by our IT infrastructure team. I am not aware of what challenges they had faced, but they had faced a number of challenges.
The license is annually, and the price is low compared to competitors.
I would recommend this solution only if they can add additional features. ESET have an EDR capable solution. However, they should combine the EPP and EDR together. When they can be simultaneously used I think it will be better and more towards perfection.
I rate ESET Endpoint Security a six out of ten.

Fast virus detection, powerful firewall, and stability exceptional
"I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product."
"In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great."
We use the solution as an antivirus, a local firewall, and anti-malware protection.
The best features of this solution are the fast anti-malware and antivirus detection, and the powerful local firewall.
In the future, a cloud version of the solution would be great. The interface is too complicated, our clients contact us because they are not able to do some tasks such as updating. In addition, updating the toolkit and detection feature would be advantageous.
The stability is the best.
A lot of our customers are small businesses but we did not have issues with scalability with the solution.
I would say that this solution has the best support team in this kind of Endpoint protection product.
The setup is complicated, there are too many elements to configure.
One of our customers who was scheduled to renew 120 licenses in March, is evaluating other solutions because they must have one that is fully in the cloud. ESET is AWS implementation, it is not a true cloud solution.
We have some other customers that are evaluating other solutions such as Broadcom, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, and Microsoft. Additionally, some of our larger business customers with more users are evaluating F-Secure.
If I was to compare ESET and Symantec, one of the enormous differences is Symantec provides a cloud version.
We have had a reduction of customers for this product do to the pandemic slowing down operations.
I rate ESET Endpoint Security an eight out of ten.
ILAN SCHWARTZ
CIO at Getter group LTD
Very good endpoint feature, simple to use, and a reasonable price
"The solution has a very good endpoint feature."
"The feature is somewhat lacking in security protection."
We are customers and resellers of ESET.
We use all the features that ESET offers, and I particularly like the endpoint feature.
We are constantly facing new threats and if ESET could incorporate an implementable feature that wouldn't require us to buy an additional product to protect the endpoint, that would be very good.
I've been using this solution for almost four years.
The solution is scalable, we've implemented it in every workstation in the company. We have close to 350 licenses. We have just one person dealing with maintenance, the solution updates every day from the internet. Any new upgrades self-implement.
Our administrator is usually the one that has contact with technical support. We can email them when necessary and we have a good relationship with them. It's very good for us.
We previously used a different endpoint solution but I don't remember the name. We switched for two reasons. Firstly, in the previous solution, the implementation of the different versions to the endpoint was a little complicated. And secondly, the price. ESET is a more reasonably priced solution for us.
I know that Cisco also has good endpoint products and it's something we would evaluate and consider. We'd like to see if it can be implemented in our company.
It's important to read all the documentation as it will make implementation easier.
I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

Sears gets another liquidation reprieve
Updated: Jan. 8, 2019, 7:29 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Sears received another possible lifeline Tuesday when the company's chairman and largest shareholder promised to line up the necessary financing to keep the struggling department store chain afloat.
The reprieve came after what Sears lawyers described to a bankruptcy judge in New York as "round-the-clock" negotiations following the company board's initial rejection of Eddie Lampert's proposal, which sought to preserve 425 stores and 50,000 workers.
According to lawyers close to the matter, one of the main sticking points was that the bid didn't include cash. The revised version now requires Lampert to deposit $120 million by 4 p.m. Wednesday through his ESL hedge fund.
The fate of Sears remains to be determined. Lampert's bid will go to an auction set for Jan. 14 and will compete with other bids from liquidators looking to shut down the company.
A committee of unsecured creditors has been pushing for straight liquidation and believes there are litigation claims against ESL for prior transactions.
In a statement emailed to The Associated Press, ESL said it "appreciates the encouragement from the court and the constructive engagement of the debtors as we work to formalize our going concern proposal so that it can be evaluated at the upcoming auction."
"We believe in Sears and will continue to do everything we can to ensure that it has a profitable future," ESL added.
It's unclear who will be the winner of the auction process, which could take a few days. A bankruptcy judge will then weigh different scenarios including the value of retaining 50,000 jobs, according to David Wander, an attorney at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron, which represents two of Sears vendors.
"You always want a competitive bidding process. You never get the best value if you have only one party," Wander said.

Raptors' Masai Ujiri apologizes to DeMar DeRozan for 'a gap of miscommunication' over inclusion in Kawhi Leonard trade

Even before news broke Wednesday morning that the Toronto Raptors had traded longtime linchpin guard DeMar DeRozan to the San Antonio Spurs for disgruntled superstar Kawhi Leonard, it was clear that DeRozan, who evidently wanted nothing more than to be a Raptor for life, wasn't on board with the move. The four-time All-Star expressed his displeasure on social media before the trade was confirmed, claiming in posts on his Instagram story that he'd been "told one thing [while] the outcome [was] another," and lamenting the inability to take people at their word when it came to rumored transactions: "Can't trust 'em. Ain't no loyalty in this game. Sell you out quick for a little bit of nothing."
The implication in those Instagram posts: the Raptors, and specifically team president Masai Ujiri, had misled — if not outright lied to — DeRozan during a meeting at Las Vegas Summer League over whether or not he was going to be traded, whether for Leonard or as part of any other deal. Judging by the way Ujiri opened his Friday press conference on the trade, it sure seems like — at a minimum — something was lost in translation during their conversation in the desert.
Masai Ujiri opens up the press conference with an apology to @demar_derozan.

"I want to apologize to DeMar DeRozan for a gap of miscommunication, but also to acknowledge him, and what he's done here with the Raptors, for this city, for this country," Ujiri said during Friday afternoon's press conference, saying that he and the Raptors organization would "celebrate" DeRozan, whom he called the greatest player in franchise history, in "the best possible way."

"I think maybe my mistake was talking about what we expected going forward from him," Ujiri said Friday in his first public statement about the jarring trade of DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a draft pick for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green of the San Antonio Spurs.
"Not necessarily talking about a trade but what I expect from him going forward and I think that's where the gap was, because in my job I always have to assume that I'm going forward with the team that I have.
"If there was a miscommunication there, I do apologize to DeMar and his family and his representation. It's not what I meant. These things come and go, opportunities come and go and we have to react, in my position, and I had to react at this time, with this deal on the table." […]
"When I met with Aaron (Goodwin, one of DeRozan's agents) at summer league maybe my mistake was saying there was nothing imminent at the time," Ujiri said. "I acknowledge that. If it was a mistake I apologize to them, but at the time we were fourth in the ranks of trying to get anything done (involving Leonard and the Spurs) and I didn't see anywhere where the talks were going. That's the message I delivered. It's my job to always go to these guys and always talk about the team as it is."
DeRozan, who is reportedly still "devastated" by the trade, has yet to speak publicly about how everything went down. He did, however, offer a one-emoji Instagram story update following Ujiri's press conference that seems to offer some insight as to how he's feeling about that apology:
Looks like DeMar DeRozan doesn't accept the apology.

Whatever the prospects for the future of a relationship between DeRozan and Ujiri — and, I've got to say, they sure don't seem great right now — the Raptors' president said Friday that he felt compelled to leave personal feelings aside in pursuit of an upgrade to a roster that had won a franchise-record 59 games last season, but had once again fallen apart in the playoffs en route to another dispiriting sweep at the hands of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. From Bruce Arthur of the Toronto Star:
"We've been doing this for how many years?" said Ujiri, as part of a 20-minute press conference. "You can't keep doing the same thing over and over again, and when you get a chance to get a top-five player — which isn't very often — I think you have to jump on it. I think we've given a chance to this team, we tried to build it up as much as we can, but at this point, we got to this level, this opportunity came in front of us and we had to jump on it."
The big question now, for the Raptors, is whether they can convince Leonard to set aside his reported reluctance to play anywhere but Los Angeles and give Toronto a fair shake during a 2018-19 season in which the Raps will rank as one of the favorites to win the newly LeBron-less Eastern Conference. On that score, Ujiri said, he's got no reason for pessimism at the moment. From ESPN:
"[Leonard] didn't express a lack of interest to not play in Canada to me," Ujiri said Friday. "A lot of these things are everybody has their own opinion about everything. … I haven't gotten that sense from Kawhi Leonard or his people, and I'm going to give him that chance when we meet face to face." […]
"I've had conversations with Kawhi, with his agent, with his uncle and everything has gone well," Ujiri said. "I look forward to meeting with them face to face, and that's our responsibility … to figure it out and to make them as comfortable as possible. … I'm confident. I think we have a good game plan, and we'll see how that goes."
It'll be up to Ujiri and the rest of the Raptors' staff to execute that plan, convincing Leonard to view them as more than a layover stop on the way to his preferred destination and building the sort of relationship with the 2014 NBA Finals MVP that might persuade him to stick around long term. As he embarks on that 12-month recruiting process, you'd figure it would behoove Ujiri to avoid any more "gaps" or "miscommunications" along the way.

The Annual Sales Conference of LEADS happen together with the Ati-atihan. This is the time when employees who have excelled in their work in the previous year are recognized. Likewise, this is also the venue where all marketing and area plans are finalized for implementation. This exercise is where new strategies are developed. This has proven to be a reliable springboard that enabled LEADS to achieve what it has achieved for the past 17 years.
There are many places in the Philippines where a Festival takes place to honor the Sto. Nino and there are three that seem famous than others: Sinulog, Dinagyang, and Ati-atihan. The Sinulog in Cebu commemorates Filipinos' acceptance of Christianity while the Dinagyang in Iloilo, just like the Ati-atihan, celebrates the arrival of Malay settlers on Panay Island where Atis reside. LEADS chooses to give thanks via the Ati-atihan Festival in Kalibo because history tells us that this was where farmers and the Atis came down originally to pray for good harvest.
The Ati-atihan is termed as the "Mother of all Festivals". Just like most Filipino Festivals, the Ati-atihan is a colourful, loud, and happy celebration. A contest of tribes takes place where the tribes dress up in different indigenous materials and pretend to be Atis or Aetas as they cover their skin in charcoal. The main event starts with a Holy Mass in honor of the Sto. Nino and later becomes a street party, famously known as "sadsad".
Since 1998, celebrating Senor Sto. Nino de Kalibo has been a company devotion for LEADS. This year, the Ati-atihan weekend coincided with Pope's visit to the Philippines. All flights going to Visayas were cancelled save for, thankfully, the ones going to Kalibo. Eighty-four resources from the head office, the warehouses, the office in Davao, and other areas flew in to join this year's celebration. Some had to walk from EDSA and Resorts World to the airport because of the closed roads due to the Papal visit but the team arrived all well nevertheless.
The LEADS family is a growing one; this year, several employees experienced the tradition for the first time. It starts with a thanksgiving mass, presided by their resident priest, Fr. Nilo, and continues with the sadsad. It is also this year that for the first time, the company sponsored their own tribe. It multiplied the fun as the folks themselves became a tribe of their own when everyone started to paint their faces with charcoal. One of the first time participants, Mr. Mike Curaza, Area Manager in Mindanao, thinks of the event as a very enjoyable and exciting activity with sadsad as the highlight. He adds that the experience also gave him a time to personally reflect on the past year and to think about his life plans. Along the way, the team also stopped in the cathedral to pray before they finished the sadsad. As the drums beat, the xylophones sound, as the tribe chants, everyone danced and cheered "Hala bira" with high hopes and faithful prayers for good harvest and a blessed year ahead.
The team stops by the Cathedral to light candles and to offer prayers.

Alabama leaders react to Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade
Posted: Jun 24, 2022 / 10:22 AM CDT
ALABAMA (WKRG) — Alabama politicians responded Friday to the United States Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a decision that ended constitutional protections for abortions. Gov. Kay Ivey, outgoing Senator Richard Shelby and Republican nominee for Senate Katie Britt were all quick to respond to the court's historic decision.
On Friday, June 24, the United States Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a news release, Gov. Kay Ivey said, "Today is a giant step forward for our country as, after decades, Roe is finally overturned. Folks, after almost 50 years of standing up for unborn babies, our prayers have been answered."
We surveyed 140 Alabama lawmakers about the future of abortion. Only a handful answered.
Other Alabama politicians also praised the Supreme Courts' decision. Senator Richard Shelby claimed the 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade was "unconstitutional." Katie Britt, republican nominee for Richard Shelby's seat on the Senate, tweeted "Our prayers have been answered! States can now protect the sacred right to life – and I'm confident that's exactly what Alabama will do." Britt also added the bible verse Jeremiah 1:5 to her tweet. Congressman Jerry Carl also applauded the Supreme Court saying that life is a gift from God and every life is worth protecting.
Although Republican politicians in Alabama were glad that the law was overturned, many Alabama Democrats were not happy with the decision. A news release from Alabama Democrats Chair Representative Chris England blamed the "Republican legislative" for reversing a law that could lead to doctors being arrested for a felony and facing 99 years in prison.
"Republican politicians will claim this is a win for 'life' in a state with high infant mortality rates," England wrote, "a Black maternal mortality crisis, and countless other public health crises. They refuse to expand Medicaid, providing the lifesaving healthcare access to Alabama families – or do anything else that actually sacrifices life for Alabamians."
Governor Kay Ivey
"Today is a giant step forward for our country as, after decades, Roe is finally overturned. Folks, after almost 50 years of standing up for unborn babies, our prayers have been answered.
"The fight continues, though. Here in Alabama, we have been preparing for this day when the decision-making authority on abortion is rightfully returned to the states. In 2019, I was proud to sign into law the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, which is one of the strongest bans on abortion in the country. Currently, there is a halt by a federal judge on the enforcement of that law, but now that Roe is overturned, the state will immediately ask the court to strike down any legal barriers to enforcing this law. As I noted when I signed the Alabama Human Life Protection Act, every life is precious and a sacred gift from God. We will not relent in our efforts. Ensuring this 2019 law can be enforced is the next and very critical step to protecting our babies.
"This is a historic day, and I could not be more proud as a governor, a Christian and a woman to see this misguided and detrimental decision overturned."
Senator Richard Shelby
"The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade was unconstitutional, and the High Court has now reversed that decision. It is our moral and ethical duty to protect the dignity of human life, particularly when it comes to the unborn. Today's decision by the Supreme Court justly upholds the writings of our Constitution and allows us to preserve innocent human life. This is welcome news."
Congressman Jerry Carl
"I applaud the Supreme Court for overruling the disastrous Roe v. Wade decision. State legislators now have the opportunity to create laws protecting the lives of millions of innocent babies. Together, we can build a culture that respects life.
Life is a precious gift from God, and every human is made in God's image. Every person, whether born or unborn, is a life worth protecting. Protecting life from conception to death is a top priority of mine, and I'm proud to be an advocate for life because I firmly believe our society has a responsibility to defend and protect life."
Alabama Democratic Chair Representative Chris England
"Because of laws passed by our Republican legislature, abortion services will likely be illegal in Alabama – a felony that could force doctors to face up to 99 years in prison for providing medical care to their patients, even in the case of rape.
Republican legislators and appointed judges think they should be sitting between you and your doctor while making medical decisions.
Republican politicians will claim this is a win for "life" in a state with high infant mortality rates, a Black maternal mortality crisis, and countless other public health crises. They refuse to expand Medicaid, providing free lifesaving healthcare access to Alabama families – or do anything else that actually sanctifies life for Alabamians. Now, their law will block abortion access in Alabama, negatively affecting women with the fewest resources the most.
While the Supreme Court has turned back the clock back decades on our freedoms – Alabama Democrats still stand strongly for Alabamians' freedom to make their own medical decisions – especially their right to abortion.
In the meantime, we need Democrats in Washington to act and pass laws that protect abortion access for all Americans. We need federal action now."
Senator Tommy Tuberville
"The Supreme Court decision is a victory for life and for Alabamians, like myself, who believe in the protection of the unborn. As a Christian, I believe life begins at conception, and that's why I signed a 'friend of the court' brief in support of this law. This case reignited a discussion on the important role of the American family in our country and the need to protect life at every stage. I hope we don't let this passion stop here, and we continue to discuss how we can protect the unborn and help vulnerable mothers.
After months of a disgraceful public pressure campaign and failed efforts from Democrats to force their extreme and unpopular abortion-on-demand agenda on the American people, I'm glad the Court didn't bow to outside pressure and maintained their judicial independence."
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall
"Today is a truly historic day. The United States Supreme Court has, at long last, finally overturned its fatally flawed decision in Roe v. Wade.
The issue of abortion now returns to the States—and the State of Alabama has unequivocally elected to be a protector of unborn life.
Accordingly, I wish to immediately issue the following notices:
Because neither the United States Constitution nor the Alabama Constitution provides a right to abortion, Alabama laws that prohibit abortion and that have not been enjoined by a court are in full effect. For those laws that have been halted by courts, the State will immediately file motions to dissolve those injunctions. Any abortionist or abortion clinic operating in the State of Alabama in violation of Alabama law should immediately cease and desist operations.
Furthermore, any act of vandalism or violence against any crisis pregnancy center, church, or other pro-life entity in retaliation for today's decision will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office to the fullest extent of the law.
I will have more to say on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and the importance of this decision in due course."
Republican Senate Nominee Katie Britt
"Our prayers have been answered. This is a great day in our nation's history and an incredible victory for the God-given right to life, which I'm confident that the State of Alabama will protect. As a Christian, conservative, pro-life mother of two children, both the science and my faith tells me that life begins at conception. As an attorney, I also know that Roe not only was morally wrong, but constitutionally unsound. The Supreme Court has done the correct thing, even in the face of recent intimidation and threats. Now, it's on elected representatives of the people across America to be a voice for the voiceless and defend those who cannot defend themselves."
Alabama Republican Party Chairman John Wahl
"Today, the fundamental human right to life won. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision correctly returns the issue of abortion back to the states where it belongs. Each state will now be able to determine how it will proceed on this matter.
The Alabama Republican Party believes that every life is precious and should be protected and celebrated. I cannot communicate how excited I am about the possibility of correcting the tragedy of Roe v. Wade, and restoring the sanctity of life. It gives me hope in the ideals of individual liberty and protecting the rights of every person from the moment of conception to the grave.
The Alabama Republican Party will continue its work with our state leaders on measures that will help expectant and new mothers, as well as the children of our state. We will also fight to cut bureaucratic red tape to make adoptions easier and more cost-effective for families. We must help and protect both the born and the unborn, take care of those in need, and provide viable alternatives for those facing difficult situations. We care about and love both the mothers and the babies of our state."
Alabama Rep. Terri Collins, R-Decatur
"My reaction is to thank God for answered prayer and to celebrate life. It's a great day for our country, it's never been right to take the life of a child. Now each state can craft what they think best fits their people at the state level. I think that's how it should be."
Congressman Gary Palmer
"Today, we celebrate a decision by the Supreme Court that will save the lives of countless unborn Americans. This decision will allow states to protect life and ends nearly five decades of poorly decided precedent that was clearly outside Constitutional bounds. I applaud the Supreme Court for issuing this opinion despite threats of violence from left-wing activists attempting to change the outcome.
While today is a great day in American history, the struggle is far from over. It will be up to state legislatures and Republicans in Congress to continue protecting life. We are already seeing Democrat controlled states push for late-term abortions and Democrats in Congress continue to block common sense bills that will save lives. We must oppose these efforts at all levels of government, and I will continue supporting lifesaving legislation."
