Higher Ground: Developing Affordable Housing & Community Facilities in Partnership with Faith Communities
Time: 9:00 am – 12:30 pm
HAND will provide updates directly to those registered as it relates to scheduling or venue changes made as a result of COVID-19.
Recent analysis by the Urban Institute revealed there are 800 vacant parcels owned by houses of worship in just four jurisdictions in the region that could potentially catalyze the development of between 49,000 and 109,000 units of housing. Join HAND, Enterprise Community Partners, and Goldstein Hall PLLC for an interactive session featuring affordable housing practitioners, clergy and lay leaders who have successfully partnered to develop affordable housing and community facilities across the Washington Region. The agenda will include a sharing of lessons learned by Enterprise and its partners during the first 14 years of the Faith Based Development Initiative, a special highlight from attorneys providing best practices for faith communities to ensure their interests are protected, case studies highlighting successful projects, and a candid panel discussion with experienced partners sharing insights on what it really takes to bring these projects to fruition.

DC's Building Energy Performance Standards Impact on Affordable Housing: Session 1
Loft at 600 F
600 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20004
HAND and the National Housing Trust (NHT) will convene stakeholders to discuss the potential impact of DC's new Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) on affordable housing, and develop implementation recommendations for the Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE). All multi-family buildings larger than 10,000 square feet will be required to meet D.C.'s Building Energy Performance Standards. As the District works to achieve its sustainability goals to be the healthiest, greenest, and most livable city for all residents, it is important that practitioners working in the affordable housing arena are at the table, working in partnership with the city to ensure successful implementation of the new Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS). The Department of Energy & Environment (DDOE) welcomes these discussions with our members and will be an active participant in the working groups.
More information about BEPS can be found here.
DOEE is seeking input on the implementation of BEPS on affordable housing developers. Several undecided implementation issues will be addressed in DOEE rulemaking. It is critically important that the affordable housing community works together to develop recommendations for DOEE.
NHT and HAND will host three peer-group sessions to discuss implementation of the BEPS, and the impact this rulemaking will have on affordable multifamily housing in the District. The first session will provide an overview of BEPS and include discussion of program structure and implementation.
We are excited to host the following speakers:
Katie Bergfeld,
Branch Chief, Building Performance and Enforcement, DC Department of Energy & Environment Kate Johnson,
Chief, Green Building & Climate Branch, Urban Sustainability Administration, DC Department of Energy & Environment Casey Studhalter,
Program Analyst, DC Department of Energy & Environment
HAND and the National Housing Trust (NHT) are pleased to convene stakeholders for a second time to discuss the potential impact of DC's new Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) on affordable housing, and develop implementation recommendations for the Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE). All multi-family buildings larger than 10,000 square feet will be required to meet D.C.'s Building Energy Performance Standards.

The Department of Energy & Environment (DDOE) welcomes these discussions with our members and will be an active participant in the working groups.
NHT and HAND will host a total of three peer-group sessions to discuss implementation of the BEPS, and the impact this rulemaking will have on affordable multifamily housing in the District. Specifically, this session will delve into financial and technical assistance needs for compliance.

The Role of Houses of Worship in a Changing Community: The Suburbanization of Poverty and Urban Displacement
3103 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016
We all have our particular gifts that we have to give, specific needs that prevent us from reaching our goals, and we may or may not even know the actions or next steps we need to take in order to better serve and address the affordable housing challenges facing the communities we are in and around us.
As November 7th approaches, we wanted to invite participants to reflect on how they can meaningfully contribute to the dialogue taking placing at the upcoming Summit:
HAND members: what gifts could you offer to support faith-based organizations who have are willing to play a larger role in the development of their communities?
Members of the faith-based community: Can community development organizations and other institutions with specific expertise help you to address the challenges facing your congregations? How can the many industries (i.e. architects, real estate developers, service providers and legal professionals) share their skills and knowledge in creative and effective ways?
As demographics shift and new economic and cultural realities emerge – we must examine the role of development in helping houses of worship remain relevant and impactful in a changing context. Join Enterprise Community Partners, Washington National Cathedral and Housing Association of Nonprofit Developers (HAND) on Thursday, November 7 from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm, at the Washington National Cathedral for a forum where participants will explore the role the faith community can play in the development of affordable housing and community facilities across the Washington region.
The agenda will feature an interactive dialogue with national and local faith leaders who are engaged in the challenges that face houses of worship, religious networks, and their local communities. We will also examine how government and private sector partners – non-profit and for-profit – can collaborate with the faith community in developing housing and community facilities that serve a range of needs – especially for low and moderate-income residents.
Don't miss this opportunity for both clergy and lay leaders of all backgrounds to dialogue with industry practitioners on how congregations and surrounding communities can be served through affordable housing and community facilities. This Summit is sure to empower, enlighten, and engage all those gathered to forge connections towards meaningful outcomes.
There is no fee to attend the summit; however registrations are required.
Registration have reached capacity and is now closed.
Framing Affordable Housing Messages to Influence your Stakeholders
Mt. Vernon Place United Methodist Church
900 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001
In today's development climate, the most qualified or worthy initiative is not always the one that wins in the marketplace. The initiative that wins is the one that communicates the clearest. How do we reframe the importance of affordable housing so that it informs, influences, and ultimately unites your stakeholders towards the common goal of producing quality housing that is affordable to all?
Join HAND for Framing Affordable Housing Messages to Influence Your Stakeholders on Tuesday, December 3rd. The afternoon will feature practitioners that are on the ground facing community resistance and distrust caused by confusion and misrepresentation of their efforts to build affordable housing. The session will begin with Mission First Housing and their partners at Sage Communications who will share a case study on how they overcame challenges and ultimately got through to stakeholders in Philadelphia, PA. The conversation will be followed by a panel of practitioners who will candidly discuss their own experiences and perspectives of how messaging effects their ability to accomplish their mission.

Rx for Building Health and Housing Partnerships
Center for Total Health Kaiser Permanente
700 2nd St, NE Washington, DC 20002
RESEARCH TELLS US that only 30% of a person's health is addressed in a medical facility. The remainder of our health outcomes are affected by the conditions that exist in the communities where we live, work, learn and play. For years, affordable housing and community development professionals have identified these elements – social determinants of health – as critical to creating healthy, thriving communities. As the healthcare industry seeks to lower medical costs and provide better health outcomes for their patients, forward-thinking institutions are investing in these social determinants of health, including investments in affordable housing production.
While stories of successful health & housing partnerships around the country are growing more frequent, only a few of these joint ventures have developed in our region. What are the challenges in bringing two different industry sectors together? What are the shared benefits that also accrue to residents and patients? Join us at Rx for Building Health and Housing Partnerships as our panelists discuss these issues and how we can bring these innovative investments to the greater Washington region.

Session #2: Implicit Bias
Julie Nelson,
Director, Government Alliance on Race & Equity, Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society
Implicit bias is a concept based on an emerging body of cognitive research which identifies ways in which unconscious patterns people inevitably develop in their brains to organize information actually affect individuals' attitudes and actions, thus creating real-world implications, even though individuals may not even be aware that those biases exist within themselves. Years of exposure to structural and cultural racialization and privilege have embedded stereotypes and biases in individual psyches and the broader culture. Due to the link between cultural stereotypes and narratives, and systemic policies, practices and behaviors, implicit bias is one part of the system of inequity that serves to justify inequitable polices, practices and behavior. Nelson will integrate the Implicit Association Test into her presentation and highlight the ways in which bias and racism play out at the individual, institutional, and structural levels.
Soup-to-Nuts: Year 15 and Year 30 Preservation Strategies, Structures, and Financing

Session #3: White Privilege
Robin DiAngelo,
Ph.D., Author, What Does it Mean to be White?
Most of our current laws, regulations, policies and practices in areas like housing, health-care, education and law enforcement were established, or justified, in part because of assumptions about what is normal, appropriate or desirable. These assumptions tend to reflect dominant cultural narratives or norms – for example, what constitutes a "family," who is dangerous, which groups are deserving of societal support and which are not, etc. Over time, the consequence of laws, regulations, policies and practices is a multigenerational system of inequity. This system reinforces stereotypes and access to organizational and system power. When these assumptions are codified into laws, system policies and organizational and community practices, they are part of what creates persistent advantages for some groups and persistent disadvantages for others.
State of the Region's Credits: Twinning, Contracts, and COVID-19

The fourth and final installment of the series is designed to serve as a turning point for the cohort, in which participants will move from a place of learning to action. Cohort members will have an opportunity to consider the foundation that our featured speakers laid in the first three programs: Structural Racism, Implicit Bias and White Privilege. Most importantly, participants will explore what it means to operationalize racial equity in the context of affordable housing and community development. The goal of this session is to support members with:
Reflection on key takeaways from the first three sessions;
Understanding the role of individuals in the system of racial inequity;
Owning the learned challenges and opportunities pertaining to racial equity;
Articulating a vision for an equitable future;
and preparation to operationalize that vision.
Cohort members will have an opportunity to think about their own line of work and how systems within the industry exacerbate disparities. By the end of the session participants will be equipped with the tools to clearly define specific issues and apply effective solutions that move the needle toward equitable outcomes.

Collaboration: The Innovative Solution for Nonprofit Developers
Target Audience: Nonprofit Developers and Faith-Based Organizations interested in affordable housing.
Over the last few decades, nonprofit developers in New York City have lost market share and impact due to constantly changing industry conditions. In late 2015, nonprofit developers in New York City established a first-of-its-kind Joint Ownership Entity in order to the create scale necessary to:
Preserve existing affordable housing projects
Compete for larger projects across neighborhoods
Create a portfolio-wide operating reserve
Decrease operational costs
Increase length and depth of affordability
This webcast will discuss the successes and challenges of the JOE NYC and its members in creating a joint ownership structure, and how such a structure can be applied to the Capital Region as nonprofit developers manage loss of market-share and scarcity of development sites. The webcast will feature perspectives from Executive Directors of JOE NYC and founding members, attorneys, financial consultants, accountants, and foundations.

Today, we welcome Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies as a new program participant of 501(c) Agencies Trust.
Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies is now returning much of the money they had been sending to the state in the form of unemployment taxes to their programs and services. It's a solution that all 501(c)(3) nonprofits with more than 15 employees should consider.
Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies was started after many in Oregon became frustrated with existing occupational and physical therapy services. In the past, many clinics were either run by medical professionals who were not family centered and often weren't interested in trying cutting-edge therapies or family friendly clinics run by parents, but without the depth of staff or therapy modalities to meet children's various needs. Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies strives to provide the best of both approaches while also providing opportunities to children who are most in need.


Çelebi Aviation Holding made an announcement about the Group CEO.
Mr. Onno Boots, Çelebi Aviation Holding Group CEO since 2014, decided to leave his position effective August 15, 2016.
Mr. Can Çelebioğlu, Çelebi Aviation Holding Chairman, stated that the Board of Directors respects Mr. Boots' decision and is pleased that Mr. Boots will continue to be engaged as a consultant to Çelebi for its planned initiatives in the Asia-Pacific region. The board of Çelebi Havacılık Holding has now initiated a search process to identify a new CEO and expects that transition to take place in the near future. During this process, Mr. Dave Dorner will assume the leadership responsibilities and act as interim CEO of Çelebi Havacılık Holding effective from August 16th 2016. Mr. Dorner is an Operating Partner at Actera and has been a member of the board of Çelebi Havacılık Holding since 2013.
The Board of Directors thanked Mr. Boots for his contribution as Group CEO and wished success to Mr. Dorner for this interim assignment.
Çelebi stepped into the aviation industry with the establishment of Çelebi Ground Handling in 1958 as Turkey's first privately-owned ground handling services company. Today, it stands out as one of the most successful examples of integrated services in the Turkish civil aviation industry, offering the full range of services within the scope of ground handling at world-class quality.
On 17th September additionally to the existing daily 5 flights between London Heathrow and Vienna, British Airways introduced its new weekly 6 service to London Gatwick from the Austrian capitol. The flights are operated by Airbus 320 type aircraft. The first London Gatwick flight was welcomed by Celebi Austria team offering the traditional "Mozart Kugeln" chocolate to the crew. We extend our best wishes for a successful operation to Çelebi Austria Team, and future new flights!


We are concluding the month of April in L4. We had a productive month and students were able to continue to make progress in their English learning. I enjoyed meeting with the parents during PTAs to discuss how our students are doing. I am happy with the conversations we had and I believe we took some good steps to make a path in order to further improve their abilities. I am pleased with the performance from the students this month and I think they continued to make steady improvements in all areas.
In Spelling, we continued to learn 16 new vocabulary words each week. As well as learning to spell them, the students learn different phonics rules through spelling class each week. The words are grouped together based on similar phonics, such as a vowel sound or grammar concept. This month, they learned about compound words, contractions and words that end with "er". They learned the definitions of the words and how to use them in sentences. Spelling is the foundation of the curriculum and related to everything else we learn each week.
In Grammar, students gained a better understanding of how to create grammatically correct sentences. This month, we focused heavily on using capital letters in sentences. They learned to use capital letters for titles, book titles, days of the week and months of the year. Learning when to properly use capital letters is important for their writing.
In Science, we use scientific concepts to further expand the students' English vocabulary. The first part of the month, we finished learning about things we can see in the sky, such as the movements of the sun and moon. Next, we started learning all about "matter". Students learned that everything on Earth is made of matter and learned different ways to discuss and observe matter. Science is a great way to learn new words by learning interesting concepts and doing fun activities.
In Social Studies, students continued to learn about social interaction, relationships between people and the world around us. This month, we learned about laws, governments, leaders and citizenship. We thought about how countries governments work to help their country be better. We also thought about how to be a good citizen and contribute to making your country better as well.
In Reading and Writing, the students completed their first public speaking class, in which they practice reading their writing in front of the class. This gives them an opportunity to gain confidence speaking in front of a group. They also completed a writing project, in which they wrote about their heroes. They wrote about who they look up to as role models and who inspires them to be better.
April was a great month overall. The students continued to show a good desire to learn and get better. The students all seem to be gaining more and more confidence as the weeks and months go by. I am happy to see the students enjoying their time in class and having fun while learning. I am excited to continue this momentum into the future and continue to help them grow.

Q: Retrieving Data from LAN Computer with Secondary Internet-enabled Machine So we have a trailer with a lidar instrument (retrieves wind information) whose software stores the data locally onto a Win10 laptop connected via router with no internet access. The trailer is in a location with internet, however switching to this prevents the software from storing data (sampled every 10 seconds).
Is there a way to establish a routine with a secondary machine to access the primary laptop and retrieve the files, and then upload or scp them from my computer at home? Something like:

All ideas and suggestions are welcome, as a solution here would save us hours in commute time and speed up our science.

A: You could add to the laptop a second network adapter that's connected
to the internet. This can be an external USB network adapter.
You could then connect to the computer by various means : RDP,
VNC software, FTP or whatever, and access your files that way.

Fletcher's Return Is A Welcome Boost For All
By Back Of The Net November 15, 2013 November 15, 2013
The return of Darren Fletcher in a closed door match recently was a much needed boost for Manchester United boss David Moyes. The Scotland captain has not played competitively since December 2012 after being diagnosed with chronic bowel disease ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-lasting inflammation in part of your digestive tract. Like Crohn's disease, another common IBD, ulcerative colitis can be debilitating and sometimes can lead to life-threatening complications.
Fletcher has established himself in the United team over the past 10 years
Fletcher's battle with the disease has been a long and frustrating one but it's one that he is now winning much to the delight of the Manchester United and Scotland fans who have missed the talented midfielder. Scotland in particular has suffered without Fletcher but it has forced others like Scott Brown, James Morrison and James McArthur to step up into the fold. Fletchers return adds genuine quality to a Scottish midfield that is starting to fire again under Gordon Strachan. The Scotland boss is optimistic about having Fletcher back available for selection having not had the luxury of being able to select the player so far during his spell as national coach. But Strachan is aware that Fletcher needs to fully recover before being thrown back into action, as an early return could lead to another long term layoff.
Scotland are hoping that Fletcher can lead them to their next tournament
United manager David Moyes is also looking forward to Fletcher's return but like Strachan is working with the player the clubs medical staff to determine the right method for his return. Moyes has been cautious about rushing Fletcher back, despite having serious midfield issues that would be solved by the players return, preferring instead to introduce him back into the fold slowly. With the disease under control, Fletcher is now bouncing back and spoke about his delight in returning to action in an interview with MUTV:
"It's been a long time, so it's good to get back. I've been training for a few weeks now and the next progression is to get some match-time. I enjoyed it. I just want to be out there to help and do my best. The aim is to be back in the manager's plans and help on the pitch"
Fletcher has been supported by his family during his illness
Fletcher is honest that his struggle with IBD has been tough but credits his family with giving him the motivation to push through with his recovery. The disease itself can be tough to tackle as patients can see daily improvements start to believe that they are moving forward and then suffer a setback or flare up that can deflate their confidence. It is at that time that family support is crucial, something that Fletcher has discovered over the past two years as he faced up to several surgeries and painful procedures. He knows that he cannot fully win this battle as IBD remains incurable for the time being but if controlled Fletcher can live an ordinary life, even sending the disease into long term remission. His hope is to regain his fitness levels and push again for starting spots for club and country. Fletcher is passionate about both and would love nothing more than to help guide united to the Premiership title and eventually lead Scotland as captain to their first major tournament in over 16 years.

Shopping for a new VPN? We reviewed CyberGhost, an established contender

CyberGhost VPN
Why choose CyberGhost VPN
CyberGhost is a competitively priced VPN with anonymous payment options and solid security. It collects no logs, it's compatible with a variety of platforms, and it has plenty of servers available worldwide.
Best VPN for
Netflix, Hulu, and streaming
Torrenting and downloading
See at CyberGhost
45-day refund period and one-day free trial
Competitive long-term pricing
Minimal logs kept
Strong 256-bit AES encryption
Plenty of servers around the world
Performance not consistent
Buying per month is expensive
CyberGhost VPN began in Germany in 2011 before moving to Bucharest, Romania from which it now operates. Romania is a part of the European Union, but it has lax data retention laws and isn't a part of any surveillance collective. This allows CyberGhost to keep on hand as little information about its users as possible.
CyberGhost claims to have more than 30 million users. It has more than 6,638 servers spread out over 110 locations in 89 countries.
Like most VPN services, CyberGhost has a set number of subscription plans to choose from, ranging from one month up to three years. If you'd just like to give CyberGhost a try, there's a 24-hour trial with no credit card or payment required. This is strictly a paid VPN service with no long-term free option available.
To get the most for your money, the three-year subscription is where you'll want to turn. You're billed $99 once every three years, which equals out to about $2.75 per month with two months free.
A long-term plan to CyberGhost will save you the most money, but you can pay monthly if you prefer.
If you'd rather not commit to such a long subscription — don't forget there is a 45-day money back guarantee — there's also a two-year deal billed once at about $89, a one-year deal billed once at about $72, or a one-month deal billed once at about $13. Considering the three-year deal is only $10 more than a two-year deal and $17 more than a one-year deal, you can see CyberGhost is trying hard to sign people up for the long haul.
Nothing out of the ordinary here, and in general you're going to pay less than popular competitors like ExpressVPN and NordVPN for the long-term plans. For the short-term monthly plan, you will pay more here.
CyberGhost now supports dedicated IPs which you will need to pay extra for charged at $5 each.
VPN security is extremely important, but if your internet speed suffers greatly, you might ask if it's really worth it. Testing a VPN's performance comes down to connecting to multiple VPN servers, running speed tests, and comparing the results to a non-VPN connection.
For the first round of tests I used a Windows 10 PC connected wirelessly to my router. Most of the time a connection to the VPN server was established within seconds, though there were a few times where it took a bit longer — around 20 to 30 seconds — to connect.
First test (AM)
No VPN 10ms 142Mbps 16.2Mbps
CyberGhost Recommended (Canada) 72ms 122.4Mbps 15.4Mbps
CyberGhost Recommended (United States) 60ms 140.8Mbps 15.3Mbps
CyberGhost Recommended (Streaming) 50ms 141.1Mbps 15.4Mbps
CyberGhost Recommended (P2P) 50ms 141.8Mbps 15.3Mbps
Second test (PM)
No VPN 9ms 159Mbps 16.1Mbps
CyberGhost Streaming (Recommended) 74ms 166.4Mbps 15.1Mbps
CyberGhost Torrenting (Recommended) 77ms 157.8Mbps 15.6Mbps
When connected with a Windows 10 PC, there's hardly any slowdown across regular and specialized CyberGhost VPN servers. Note that the torrenting servers are accessible only from the desktop app. The Android app displays just regular and streaming servers.
Unfortunately, the same performance wasn't evident when using the Android app. For the following tests I used a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 connected wirelessly to my router.
CyberGhost Recommended (Canada) 79ms 29.1Mbps 13.3Mbps
CyberGhost Recommended (United States) 43ms 33.2Mbps 14.2Mbps
CyberGhost Recommended (Streaming) 77ms 30.4Mbps 13.7Mbps
No VPN 10ms 151Mbps 15.9 Mbps
As you can see, speeds are significantly hit when connected with a mobile device. To check these results, I tested with a different VPN service I subscribe to. Like usual, I was able to hit upwards of 100Mbps download speeds when using recommended servers.
It's not guaranteed you'll see the same slowdown based on where you're located and the hardware you're using, but you'll no doubt want to test things out short term if you plan on primarily using CyberGhost with a mobile device.
CyberGhost is rather generous with its offered VPN servers. At the time of writing this review, there are 5,733 servers in 112 locations, spread out over 89 countries. Some are hosted physically within those countries, while others are hosted virtually. Many servers are dedicated to peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing and torrenting, while others are dedicated to streaming on popular services, like YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and more. CyberGhost does not limit bandwidth, nor does it put a cap on data. You're free to switch between servers as much as you want, and you won't be held to a maximum amount of traffic.
This works well with streaming platforms with the ability to unblock the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ without any issues.
Thanks to compatibility with plenty of platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and Apple TV, CyberGhost should fit the needs of most homes. It can be used on up to seven devices at once, plus you can configure a router with CyberGhost VPN for a blanketed approach that essentially removes the per-device limit. Dedicated IP addresses are available for those who need them, for example anyone who can't have a new IP address each time they connect to a VPN server.
A unique feature that works well is the ability to automatically launch a particular app, on opening. This is great for something like having your default browser open in incognito mode, for example.
I primarily tested CyberGhost with the Windows 10 and Android apps. While you're going to be able to set up a connection on either, the desktop app understandably allows for a lot more tweaking. Both platforms offer an ad blocker, data compression tool, Wi-Fi protection, and tracker blocker, but if you want to go deeper with exceptions, kill switch, and VPN protocols, you'll want to stick with the desktop app. In any case, the apps are laid out well and even complete beginners to a VPN should be able to easily navigate the setup.
Connecting from Canada, I can confirm that CyberGhost unblocks Netflix and similar streaming services in other countries. It also removes geo-restrictions from sites like YouTube, allowing you to watch content that would normally be blocked in your country. Not all VPNs offer these features, so score some points for CyberGhost.
I submitted a rather basic support ticket to test the 24/7 customer service, but I didn't receive an email back. I then turned to the live chat option, and it only took about a minute to begin the support process. If you're in even more immediate need of assistance, there are a bunch of pre-written articles available.
CyberGhost offers OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, IKEv2, WireGuard, and PPTP protocols to connect, which helps open it up to so many different devices. You get 256-bit AES encryption with a 4,096-bit key for exchanges. That's basically the norm these days, though some VPN providers up things to an 8,192-bit key. In any case, you should feel secure with the level of encryption from CyberGhost. To help keep your browsing private, CyberGhost includes an automatic kill switch that cuts your internet connection if the VPN goes down, as well as DNS leak protection.
A VPN's log-keeping policy should be a top concern when shopping around, and CyberGhost scores well. Operating out of Bucharest, Romania, CyberGhost has no legal obligation to log user activity. It also resides outside of 5 Eyes, 9 Eyes, and 14 Eyes intelligence alliances. CyberGhost makes it clear that some information is kept, but only in order to keep your service running. The lack of a security audit is a little concerning but not a deal breaker. The email address you use to sign up, payment information, and cookie preferences are logged. Keep in mind that you can pay anonymously with Bitcoin and use a burner email address to protect your privacy.
To help keep users at ease, CyberGhost releases a transparency report every three months that details DMCA complaints, police and agency information requests, and statistics about how CyberGhost operates.
Should you sign up?
CyberGhost VPN brings a lot to the table, especially when you consider the competitive long-term pricing. There are functional apps and wide compatibility with many platforms, and the service can be used for streaming and P2P sharing thanks to dedicated servers. There are thousands of servers spread out over 89 countries.
Performance was stellar on a Windows 10 PC, and establishing a connection was — if not for a rare hiccup — a speedy process. Unfortunately, using the CyberGhost VPN Android app did not result in the same performance. If you're shopping for a VPN service to use primarily with a mobile device, you might want to look elsewhere at some of our other best VPN options.
Still, CyberGhost brings solid security in the form of 256-bit AES encryption, and it offers plenty of extra features to keep your browsing habits private. Minimal logs are kept, and CyberGhost releases a transparency report every three months. There's quick customer support through the live chat option, and there are plenty of prewritten articles available to help VPN beginners get things up and running.
Long-term pricing will net you the best deal, but check out our best VPN deals roundup to ensure you're getting the absolute best price when you feel it's time to sign up.
See latest price at CyberGhost
Strong security, plenty of servers, and no log keeping make CyberGhost VPN a strong contender for your next VPN.

Best MMO 2021 – New World
It's easy to take a look at existing MMORPGs and applaud how they're continuing to push forward with amazing expansions and new content like Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, but breaking into the MMORPG sphere is ridiculously tough. In the olden days, we'd have new MMOs hitting all the time. Today, the lines are blurred where many games now take features and aspects that were once relegated to the genre proper, and few new offerings in the classic space ever appear. New World was awesome in a few ways here. Not only did it seek to break into a space that's ruled by titans that have been around for eons, but it did so with a good deal of gusto, willing to explore features and mechanics that are anything but safe.
Player-created economies and PVP-centric server spaces create constant conflict. There was plenty of drama during my time with the game as guilds came together and fell apart, the big 50v50 wars and invasions keeping things constantly tense, both within one's own faction and against our rivals. While I don't think it's particularly entertaining to have to use multiple voice chats to get the edge in competition and deal with all the old-school jockeying for power and position within guild space, the social elements of New World were absolutely refreshing in a genre that's become notably silent in the last decade, with structures that encouraged social play eventually siloed out so that activities can be completed solo or in parties that never need interact at all. To be clear, I'm not psyched about all the power dynamics, screeching Discord channels, and cliques that come with a more social game, but I'd love to see something that offers cozy co-op instead of the cold mausoleum that the neo-MMORPG group experience often is. Meeting people, doing in-game activities with players on your server, and talking to others were once staples of this genre, and I have some great friends today that I met inside the confines of some of the genre grandfathers.
Above all else, my favorite activity in New World was crafting and gathering elements. There's a soothing kind of zen meditation that comes over someone after their sacks are filled with iron ore, ready to make some ingots, ammo, and armor. Finding recipes for exciting new dishes, tweaking an item to be absolutely perfect with high-quality ingredients, and making a big sale on something awesome are all highlights of the crafting/gathering cycle. Roaming around dungeons and slaying bosses for item drops has always been a cornerstone of the MMORPG, but there's nothing quite like making your own god-tier sword. Or just a really great batch of lobster bisque. Sometimes, you just want to catch a rare fish. Other MMORPGs over the years have catered to the crafting and gathering bunch, but New World is quite refreshing in this regard. Tying crafting to built up and controlled cities with tax rates and all that is another daring choice that I'm not sure worked out completely well, like many other systems in the endgame – but I appreciate the willingness to take risks, especially in a genre that's ridiculously risky to enter at all these days.
There's no doubt that New World has had a considerable number of serious issues and that the post-launch fervor has died down, but I can't deny that I had a great time with what was there. After several hundred hours with the game, I'm not playing right now – but the times I had were great, and since it's not a subscription game, going back will be easy someday should I ever get the inclination. | Read Our Impressions

If Cena's very top of head reachs Boris's eye level thats's 4.5" top of brow is 4". 99% of all eyebrow to top of head lengths is 4" in humans. Draw a line on the top of cenas head to boris please.
@Lawrence: you wouldn't see 1/8" difference in any pic. Even back to back that is very difficult. It's likely half inch difference or a centimeter at worst. I can see Cena being only around 6'0" the more I see. Dream said something very accurately. Most wrestlers will lie up and he is saying 6'1" In cool shoes.
As for Boris and Cena, that is nowhere near 4.5" difference between them. That's max 3". But Boris is not likely 6'4". He looks 6'3" with Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan or Cam Newton.
And really, It didn't surprise me to see Cena being slightly taller than Cavill.
A Wrestler Underlisting his own height? Nope....He said he is 6'0, he is 6'0. He makes it appoint to say in his shoes he is "maybe 6'1"......That should be enough for people.
If Cena is 6'0.5, Cavil is 6'0. If Cena is 6'0 ( Like he says he is), Cavill is 5'11.5"
Cavill isn't as tall as 6'0.5"
..cena edges him out??? What photo are you looking at???
Henry clearly edges out cena by an inch or so!
Rob, Cena edged out Cavill recently.
Rob, he does edge out Cavill by 1/8ths of an inch.
Maybe, 6'0.625" would be a better listing for Cena?
Cena edges him a bit. I haven't looked much at this page so I'm not aware of what people have argued here, but on Cavill page there's a civil war going on as to whether he's a 183 or 184 guy.
If you study some picks on the net of HHH AND Cena side by side (and there are tons of pics out there)..you will see that 6'1.5" HHH is 1 3/4" taller than cena. I will say it again Cena is no taller than 5'11 3/4"
Lawrence, not sure about 4.5 inches, but he does look near 4 inches shorter than Boris. And that's with him having a slightly better posture than Boris (he basically is standing as tall as he can there). I don't know about under 6', but maybe he really isn't much over 6'. What I don't understand are those people who argue he could even be near 6'1, when he himself specifically said to be 6' barefoot and 6'1 in shoes. If he really was nearer 6'1, I'm sure he wouldn't have come out with a quote like that!
Cena isn't 6 ft. He's closer to 5'11". This comes from multiple personal meetings with him.
He's 6'0.5 range. Under 6'0 is just daft, he's taller than Miz/Ziggler/CM Punk etc, who are all in the 5'11/5'11.5 range.
If this guy is really only 6ft as he claims it's unfortunate for the rock..
the rock struggles to look 2 inches taller from several occasions.
Thank you, Cena is 6´0 weak.
@Christian: I definitely don't see Cena that low. My money would be that he's a hair over 6'0" at a low.
Lawrence says no more than 5'11.75" for Cena but I can't see him that low.
@Christian: Lawrence could be right that he's not 6'0.5 but he surely isn't under 6'0" I agree.
@Joe: I could see 6'3" for Boris but no higher. This is especially so when you see him next to Kobe. I used to think Boris was 6'3.5 a while back too but saw pics to where he doesn't look it and saw the listings by agencies at 6'2.5" A guy that size wouldn't be listed that low even in that profession.
I agree with Canson, he's not under 6'0".
Always an easy 6'0.5"-6'0.75" guy.
5'11.75 is an absolute joke, and so is 6'0 flat.
I'm beginning to think you're (not speaking of his name).
Some 6 footers downgrade their height. When Cena says he's 6 feet, it really means he's over 6' barefoot.
It's similar to Chris Pine.
He's either lieing about his weight or height. Because he seems wayyy heavier then 245 there is no way in hell were both the same height and weight.
And he doesn't appear to be more than 4 CM shorter than a Tim Tebow who was measured at 6'2 3/4" (he's 6'2 1/4"-6'2 1/2" by the end of the day). 6'0 3/4" is definitely reasonable, with 5'11 1/2"-6'0" being a complete joke (even if he has claimed to be only 6'0"). Despite what some people think, there are actually celebrities who do downgrade their heights (especially those who are over 6 feet tall).
Cena is between 6'0.25" and 5'11.75" 250lbs.
Lawrence you are just repeating the same thing over and over again. All shoes don't have 1 inch soles. John Cena never said if he wears shoes with 1 inch soles he would be 6'1. So you keep typing that John Cena can't be over 5'11 3/4 proves what? You have no proof that is under 6'0 besides repeating the same wrong information over and over.
I have to agree with Lawrence. No way in any universe that Cena is over 6 feet.
You must be smoking weed, no offense. He's easily above 6'0". Can loo a weak 6'1" at times.
Cena would measure 184cm, no less. The guy is pretty tall. He doesn't wear thick boots, he wears sneakers.
john cena seems to be a guy that never need to brag about himself like the rock i can actually believe cena think its ridiculous that the rock and all the other guy claim 2 inches taller than they are and round down to 6 feet to make a point. if you get what im saying. because to me he never looks 183 cm flat. i always say nick nolte was 90 procent chanse little over 6 foot peak but a guy like cena is deffinetly taller than nolte was. in my book cena is 184,5 guy. at worst 184. He always look big and anything under 184 is pretty normal size and under 180 start to lock short. Well i guess here in sweden anyway.
He's 6'0 flat because he said so himself. Wakes up close to 185.
"I am 6 feet. And if I wear cool shoes, I am maybe 6'1."
Hey Rob, if you're not really sure of seeing him as 6ft 1/4", is 6ft 3/8" possible for him. I can't really see why he doesn't round up to the nearest inch if he's really half an inch away shy from 6'1" (most guys would round up), maybe he's a little bit shy away from 6ft 1/2", so that's why he claims to be 6ft cause he couldn't round up to the nearest inch. It's quite possible he probably forgot what mark he is exactly at, which is probably why he claims to be 6ft.
Stood next to him long enough to gauge his isn't 6 foot flat.
Standing at his absolute tallest he'd be in the 6'0.5/6'0.75 range.
Cena is one of the only few who are NOT frauding their height, big up to him!!
Rob, I can't find the picture, but he looked one inch taller than Kellan Lutz.
1 inch shorter than Hugh Jackman (6'1-.25") = strong 6ft. Maybe, 6'0.25".
He says in the above quote that he is 6'0" and maybe 6'1" in cool shoes. How are people claiming he is anything above 6'0" barefoot when he is saying he's 6'0" and 6'1" in shoes? I don't get this listing Rob?
Well maybe he's dropped a fraction from his claim.
Like Chris Pine, both claim 6 foot...but I feel they look taller.
Although sometimes a genuine 6ft-6ft 0.25 guy can look quite tall in person, especially with thick sneakers and good posture.
Any idea on the height of devon graye?
184,5 now and then. pushing 185. he never looks under 184 and somtimes beside guys like the rock and others can look legit 185.
6'0 for Cena seems pretty accurate. Certainly not 6'1 or even 6'0.5 seems bit much.
Lawrence I agree. Well maybe he could be a little over 6'0. Every type of shoe soles aren't 1 inch. In any case he said he was 6'0 so I don't see why some people believe he is 6'1 or over barefooted.
Rob, how likely is 6ft1 peak?
I wouldn't go that high for him, the top end of 6ft 0.75...but I still think 6ft 0.5 seems likely.
I'd be surprised if he's anything below 6 foot.
6' 1/2" upon waking perhaps and within several hours he goes to his usual height of 5'11 1/2" barefoot. In order for Cena to be a legit 6 1/2" footer he needs to wake up at 6'1 1/2" ..Cena is close to a 6'2" man?..lol..yeh right.
Cena even says himself "MAYBE 6'1" with "cool shoes"note the "maybe" 6'1" and note "cool shoes"...we all know what that means..means 1 1/4" heel or up on heels as most male shoes are average of 1" ...what further proof than his own self testimony Rob yet everyone is saying more. I guess when all celebs and wrestlers heights are inflated it throws everything off to a degree.
Its arguable though rob he could have been 6'0.75 in his 20s if hes still a solid 6'0.5 today?
He could look at times near 185, but I don't think he has lost anything more than a small fraction. He has held up better than I thought.
I was just wondering why dont you have a peak height for cena and a current height? I mean he lifts heavier weights than guys such as the rock or Hugh Jackman so if heavy lifting can cause height loss then he probably lost more height that those guys, dont you think?
I don't think I've seen anything noticeable like half inch loss from Cena yet.
Thet's the absolute lowest I can see him at. I doubt he's anything under 6'0".
He could be 6ft flat . Pretty honest about his height actually.
I have the inclination to say he is 6'0.75" or the same height as Dean Ambrose. I can't rule it out. Looks near enough 185 cm to me.
I really doubt he is flat 6 feet.
Rob, who do you think is taller? Cavill or Cena?
Editor Rob: it's hard to pick between the two...really think it would be close enough that you need to measure them, even then it might be within 1/8th.
6'0"-6'0.5". I believe John Cena to be a honest guy. Therefore I would say he is not far off his claim even if it appears so. If he is above 184 cm, then I don't think he would have still claimed 6 foot. Even if somebody is 6'0.5", a honest person will surely say 6'1" if he is rounding but as its close to both 6'0" and 6'1", some may say 6'0" which is not dishonest.
Evenflow, claiming 6' at 182 cm is absolutely fine.
Ive met John Cena, stood face to face with him. Hes like 182cm. And absolutely nothing over .
Would you say he still looks over 6' there though? Btw, how tall would you guess the guy between Boris and John, Flula Borg (never heard him before), is? He gets listed at 192, but he certainly looks nowhere near it next to Boris. Maybe somewhere around 6'2?
Editor Rob: guys like Cena, Prinze and Chris Pine could all be argued to be over 6ft flat.
I would still say Cena seems overall to be over 6ft flat, how much exactly is debatable.
He didnt look anywhere neat 6ft1 with Mark Wahlberg. I saw 3 inches max.
He wrestles in Sneakers so they don't really have to give 2 or 3 more inches in height like most wrestlers.
He's a legit strong 6 footer that makes most celebs he stands next to look a half inch below their listings.
Jack Swagger is weak 6'5" not 6'4".
He is 1.95 m tall.
John used to be 1.85 in the old days. He is 184.5 now, he lost some height due to his lifting, but he is no way shorter than 184.5. My college mate has a photo with him, he is 1.84, both wearing same shoes, John looked just 0.5-1cm taller even if their eyes were at the same level.
184.5 - 184.75 for Cena.
John Cena's legs seem to be a bit apart, but he really doesn't look to be much shorter than Will Ferrell there. However, John is a step closer to the camera. He's also noticeably more than 4" inches taller than a 5'8ish" Mark Wahlberg (who is standing with good posture). Will Ferrell does look taller than John Cena there though, before people suggest that they look the same in height.
look at photos of him with will ferrell. this guy is weak 185 guy, common its like 1 out of 5 times he looks 184.
Also Jack Swagger, he's most likely a strong 6'4" but rounds down like Cena.
This may be the only honest claim of a wrestler. A guy who is proud of his actual height.
Along with Idris Elba who claimed 6'2"
Chris Pine and John Cena are the most modest celebrities when it comes to their height!
Along with Rollins as well. I think Rollins is a hair taller than Cena at 6'0.75" and listed 6'1" by WWE.
Nearer 6'1" than 6'0" imho.
Push things too much rob? Cena naturally is not large built so too get too his size/weight he must have pushed himself over the limit.
6'0.25-6'0.5 today and possibly 6'0.5-6'0.75 when he debuted back in 2002.
Maybe 6'0.5 no worse than maybe 6'0.25.
Rob do you think with all the years of heavy weights and steroids guys like cena and brock lesner will lose height before age 50?
Editor Rob: Cena looks to have held up pretty well, maybe he had better anti-shrinkage genetics, or just didn't push things too much.
He look shorter lol, how can you say this.
Agreed. The average height in WWE today I feel is about 6'0", so if anything I think Cena's a bit above average at about 6'0.5"
@Sandmann Despite what some photos suggest, Hugh Jackman would definitely measure taller than John Cena would.
No he isn't, Hugh's about 186cm.
He's the same height as hugh jackman.
this guy have a huge head.
Agreed a very strong 6 footer, not much of an actor but a great presenter.
I'd give John Cena the edge honestly.
Hhmmm, Rob, if you were to imagine John Cena or Bradley Cooper back to back, who would you toss a coin to for being taller?
Editor Rob: I feel they'd look so close that even with a board sitting across their heads, you'd need to pay attention to find out which had a slight edge, I really would toss a coin to it.
His 6' claim seems to be quite overhumble.
He could be more than 184 cm barefoot.
I think Rob has him pegged.
6'0.75". Watch "the marine" guys, that's my source of proof that convinced me Cena is 184-185 CM.
181 cm has been a joke. 6'0"-6'0"1/4 is a joke of dreams.
In my opinion...he is a legit 6 ft guy...and became 6'1 guy if wearing cool shoes..
-Dwayne Johnson was 188 CM in his peak, and wouldn't be over 186 CM tall today. The downgraders on this website would definitely be satisfied if this were the case, however (when it's not).
-Brock Lesnar is no more than 183.5 CM tall (lol at the thought of that).
-Randy Orton is 190 CM tall at best.
181 CM is very laughable for John, and so is 6'0"-6'0 1/4".
If anything, John actually appears to be leaning back in the photo with Tim Tebow (considering that John's eye level isn't even in the photo). I think that an upgrade to 6'0 3/4" is in order.
There was one picture that Cena edged out Kellan Lutz. It was only one picture and Cena is clearly taller than Lutz. I'm not sure where it is now.
6'0" flat and 6'0.25" are jokes along with 181 cm are just big jokes.
Bwahhahaha! My comrade 'Agent Orange' will be in touch. BelieveYouMe.
I'm not even gonna waste my time responding to you, I know how people like you operate.
184-185 cm is a better listing imo.
He also looks no more than 3" inches shorter than Snoop Dogg (considering the postures as well, and even has 1/2" an inch on a 6'0 1/4" measured Drew Brees based on comparison).
@ Rampage Clover - 🌇🌃 - That's a first!
Very original of you and eye-catching and attractive for us!
Do you not know how dumb you're making yourself look right now? All I did was give you a simple response on how Cena wasn't legit 6'1", I didn't call you any names or anything like that, and yet you're bringing this up? Just because I called you an imbecile, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't have responded to you. And you like to keep bringing up the "you're disliked on this site" BS just to demonize me and make me look bad, but last time I checked, the only people who dislike me are you and a very few small handful of others, while they're hundreds of users on this site who I never had any beef with, inculding Rob himself. Rob and I are always cool with each other, despite the fact that I might disagree with some of his listings from time to time. I never had one argument with Rob. So what you just said is completely illogical and baseless. Btw, I'm disliked by who? By you, Juggernaut, Aswin MK and Andrea? Because that's really the only names I can think of. So by your logic, if it only takes 4 users to dislike me in order for me to be qualified as an overall disliked user on a site where hundreds of users comment on, then you're exactly proving my point when I call you imbecile and dumb.
You are Fake News. The Bigliest. Believe Me.
@Christian-6'5 3/8: you called me an ''imbecile'' and said I need help on the Lesnar page on 4th of October.
If I'm such an ''imbecile'' why are you even talking to me on here on the 6th of October?
I wasn't joking Christian when I said you are very disliked on this site.
I think Cena's own 6' claim is fairly accurate. He could be a tiny bit lower like 182cm. I think he is pretty honest with his height.
And someone explain me 181 cm.
We'd have to put Roman Reigns at 5'11.75".
It's not that Cena was a legit 6'1", but rather that Lesnar was and is a below 6'2" guy.
Joeyb33 or rob; from that picture with joey how many cm is that with john cena?
Editor Rob: he could look over 2 inches smaller, maybe 2.5, although I am not sure if all 3 are exactly same distance, these things can be harder to tell at times.
I think most of us can agree he is in between 6' - 6'1'' today. But do you think he was taller 15 years ago? Do you remember him standing by Lesnar in 2003 on smackdown? Cena barely looked an inch shorter. I can't tell if he used to be 6'1'', he for sure looked it next to Lesnar.
John Cena states he is 6'0 barefooted and 6'1 with certain type of shoes. Yet you still see people making comments about Cena being 6'1 plus barefooted. Funny stuff.
@ma of course he's shorter than Legit 6'1" guys. However, he's more likely a weak 6'1" than a strong 6'0" if I were to meet him.
Destroys the Rock's 6'5" claim like a dragon.
Makes peak 6'7.5" Undertaker look four inches taller at best.
Matches Mitt Romney in height and barely edges him out.
Hmmm, rob. What do you think is likelier for Cena? A strong 6'0", a weak 6'1", or the middle ground that can look both ways at certain times?
Editor Rob: at times I can see an argument for both...but the last poster who met him seemed to suggest that 6ft 1 wasn't possible, but somewhere over 6ft was, hence the middle ground Cena remains.
Perfect Rob! I'm 6ft0.5 and his looks some height of me.
"if I wear cool shoes, I am maybe 6'1"
he pretty much gave us clues that his real height is 5 ft 11 and a half to plain 6 feet, noticed he said "maybe" if he wears "cool shoes".
reminds me of how The Rock said he is 6 ft 4 during one of his matches despite being billed as 6 ft 5.
If anything, the staredown with Roman Reigns proved that Cena was around 2 inches shorter than reigns. So I would put Cena 6'0" to 6'0.5" max for now. I honestly don't think he has lost any height although a quarter inch loss is arguable. Reigns I would say is 6'2.25" and sometimes has thicker footwear which makes him appear 6'2.5".
I've stood right to next to him twice, I'm 6'0.25 and he was 100% at least as tall as me, and I had footwear advantage as I was in Nike Shox.
He's somewhere in the 6'0.5/6'0.75 range at full height, not a full 6'1 but no way is he a flat 6'0.
His staredown with Lesnar back in 2003 was a big piece of evidence that he's around that height, Lesnar is the full 6'2 (nothing under) and it wasn't much more than an inch between them.
Honestly guys, he may be a weak 6'1". He matched up to Anthony ray Parker in "the marine" who had 3 inches on 5'10" listed Manu Bennett, not sure about footwear though , doubt there was boots/lifts as there were a sh1tload of stunts. I'm sure heavy lifting and performance enhancing drugs have taken a toll on his length. The guys beyond ripped.
Why on earth would Cena be 6'1" if he claimed 6'0" both times? He's never been over 6'0.5" trust me.
No he is not closer to 6 ft 1 than 6 ft. The pic with Joeyb prove it.
He is between 6ft 0.25 and 0.5 in.
You are just influenced because he has great posture.
But in the face off with 6 ft 2 Roman Reigns he looked around 2 inc shorter ( probably he has 0.25 footwear disadvantage).
I find 183.5 cm hard to argue with Cena. Closer to 6'1" than 6'0".
I'd Say 6'0'25-6'0'5 today and 6'0'75-6'1' in his prime..
From his own claim I would say he a 6'0.25" guy rounding to 6'0" and claiming that height. I think 6'0.5" maybe a bit too tall for his height. Saying that I would say Cena is more than a 6'0" flat at least in his peak days. At 40, I don't think a fraction of height is not impossible for a guy like Cena who has done extensive weight training and suffered a series of injuries through his career. 6'0.5" is sometimes arguable but I can't see why a guy like Cena would downgrade himself by 0.5". I think 6'0.25" is the most likely sort of similar to John Travolta. If any height loss, it would say Cena is now 6'0" flat now and 6'0.25" peak.Roman Reigns looked clearly 2 inches taller than Cena during their segments toward their match at No Mercy 2017. Roman I think is 6'2.25" max BTW.
Rob, are you planning to go to some wrestling events in order to met wwe superstars and take pics?
Editor Rob: in the future I would like to.
Rob, out of curiosity, would you want to meet John Cena in person or not really?
Editor Rob: for this site it certainly would be interesting, as would any big name in wrestling.
Would have said 2-2.5 inches shorter than Joeyb33 with footwear disadvantage. Joey has raised his eyelevel there a bit Rob, to me Cena looks about 6' there with less shoes so if joey was right I would say he is as listed- 6'0.5".
@Rob yeah I think he's one of the few guys out there who is completely honest when it comes to his height. He was the size of a tank though and such a genuine guy!
I met him last year. I'm 6 foot 2.25 and had about half inch shoe advantage possibly.
Editor Rob: 6ft 1 would seem hard to believe, 6ft 0.25 maybe with you based on what you said.
i just saw link I posted didnt show up in comment, idk how to post it, but type in YT "John Cena vs. CM Punk: SummerSlam 2011" its on WWE's channel, if you want.
take a look at this video, Justin Roberts is 5ft10 on google (not taller than that prob) and in those shoes maybe 5ft11, then HHH is 6ft1 (many people who met him claim that height) and in those shoes prob 6ft2, now look at Cena's shoes and then look at Punk's (you have good look at it during his entrance), there are a lot of diff camera angles and things we gotta take in consideration but to me it looks like HHH clearly has like 2 inches on all 3 of them, which would put Punk and Cena around maybe 5ft11 barefoot. Cena has pretty decent posture, dude is most of time standing straight up as does Punk from what I've seen. Both of those guys are somewhere around 5ft11 prob in RL. I may be wrong but no way any of them is 6ft1 as some people claim. A lot of time they wear bigger shoes, especially Cena, back in day dude was same height like 6ft2-3 Lesnar with his shoes lol.
Going by those rules, Timberlake would be between 6'1"-6'2" but he's 5'11.5".
1.84 is correct. Samoa Joe is 1.80, and he looked slightly shorter.
He looks like he's 186-187 CM by a 189-190 CM Tim Tebow.
Him claiming 6'0" is why I think he's closer to 6'0" than 6'1", or else he would've claimed 6'1" and not 6'0". No guy that's 6'0.75" would be claiming 6'0", especially not wrestlers, who are known to have their heights and weights exaggerated to seem more imposing. I believe he's 6'0.25-6'0.5" range and just rounded down.
Though, Rob did say John Cena and Henry Cavill would be too similar in a stadiometer.
John Cena is proof that some people undervalue their height. Tony Parker is another possible candidate.
184cm seems on the money.
John Cena is probably one of the coolest wrestlers that somebody can meet in person. He was intelligent, kind and fun to talk to.
Nakamura is only 6'1", not 6'1.5"-6'2" He had footwear advantage over Cena.
John is one 184 guy who regularly pulls off looking 6'1 even 6'1.25 at times such as this tuesday with Nakamura but i guess that just a camera angle thing.
Nakamura at 6'1.5"-6'1.75" would seem to be a correct measurement. He has always been deceptive as his proportions are weird. He easily had a couple of inches on 5'11" Dolph Ziggler and was taller than Cena. When he fought Lesnar in the past there wasn't alot of difference either and Lesnar is 6'2" at least.
Cena is one of the most honest height claims out there in the WWE anyway.
Looked an inch shorter than Shinsuke Nakamura..If Cena is 6'0'5 that'd put Nakamura to 6'1'5..
If John Cena lived where I did in the south of England he would tower A LOT of men without a doubt.
Passes for 6'2 I think.
I would estimate that the average man who is 184-185 CM loses approximately an inch of height throughout the day (maybe even more if one has a longer torso, like John Cena does), so it's not unbelievable for him to lose 2.5-2.7 CM throughout the day.
In that photo w/h Snooki he could pass for 6ft5!
A lot of guys in wrestling who are his height would claim 6'2.
Rob, why do you think that he claims to be 6'0" at nearly 6'1"? Him being near 6'1" claiming to be six feet tall is definitely not a crime though.
Editor Rob: maybe he thought being conservative was a change in wrestling...most are rounding up and over their claims 1-2 inches at times!
Is John standing on a platform or something??
Cena isn't standing at his fullest.
It's hard to figure this photo out.
What footwear did Tom have? His waistline is higher than Hemsworths so I suspect thick boots.
For the rest it looks a legit 6'0.5" next to 6'3".
John Cena is probably not standing up straight in that shot. It's just odd to see that Tom still appear to be so tall by him with his head tilted down, and legs apart. The photo suggests that Tom would be significantly taller than Chris Hemsworth if he straightened up, which can't be the case.
That picture is definitely odd as hell. For one...just how long are Hiddleston's legs?! I swear his inseam comes an inch above Hemsworth and he's more than inch shorter. It doesn't even appear as though he's standing properly.
And then in comparison to Cena's proportions it's even stranger, so I'll have to agree with Anon2. Most likely bent knees. Weird pic.

The Police Service Commission, on Tuesday, announced the promotion of eight Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) and two Commissioners of Police to the rank of Deputy Inspectors-General of Police.
Ferdinand U. Ekpe, Assistant Director of Press and Public Relations of the PSC, said in a statement issued in Abuja that the AIGs promoted to DIGs are Dan'Azumi Job Doma, Mamman Ibrahim Tsafe, David O. Omojola, Solomon E. Arase, Christopher K. Katso and Salihu Argungu Hashidu, while Hilary Opara and Sotonye L. Wakama were promoted from the rank of Commissioner of Police to DIGs.
The promotions are with effect from August, 19, 2014. The Commission also re-affirmed its earlier decision that promotions from the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police to AIGs will only be done after its interviews with deserving officers.
Chairman of the Commission, Sir Mike Mbama Okiro, while congratulating the newly promoted officers, enjoined them to see their elevation as opportunity to serve, imploring them to use their wealth of experience in uplifting the Nigeria Police Force.
He added that the Commission had earlier at its 6th plenary, held on August 12, reviewed the time limit within which aggrieved police officers could lodge complaints against punishment meted to them to 30 days from the receipt of the decisions.
He added that PSC has also given opportunity to aggrieved officers to appeal directly to the Commission where an action on its decision is not implemented by the Police authorities as directed by it.

Kathleen A. Callahan-Lisa
Kathleen A. Callahan Lisa, 56, died peacefully on December 29th, 2021, following a valiant struggle with cancer. Kathy is survived by her loving husband, Michael Lisa and cherished daughter, Julianna, her beloved parents, Robert and Rosalia (Bisogno) Callahan, her loving sister, Maureen Buchheister and her husband Gary, dearest nephew and nieces, Kyle, Lindsey and Shannon, her cousin, Jo Ann Del Brocco and many loving cousins.
Kathleen was born in Puerto Rico, lived in Riverdale, NY, and moved to Dumont in 1974. Growing up in Dumont with her little sister, Maureen, under the loving and watchful guidance of her parents, Kathy clearly had a mind of her own from a very young age and was extremely bright and inquisitive. Her love of her family was truly reflected in the warmth of the homes she made with her husband, Mike and her greatest accomplishment in life, her daughter, Julie, both in Dumont and Toms River and later in Forked River where they shared many happy memories of boat rides and family weekends. Her family was paramount and she loved to gather them in her home, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas, to share big family meals and loving company. She shared her love of cooking on those occasions with meticulously planned menus and handed down to her daughter, Julie, and nieces, Lindsey and Shannon, her most important family recipes, in particular, her grandmother's special lasagna, which they learned to prepare themselves (with help from Julie's boyfriend, Lucas) by Kathy's trusting that they were equal to the task.
Kathy was drawn to the shore…her yearly family vacations in Wildwood with her parents, and Mike and Julie with her boyfriend, Lucas, her sister, Maureen and husband Gary (the brother Kathy never had), her nephew and nieces, Kyle, Lindsey and Shannon, and her cousin, Jo Ann and Aunt Rose and Uncle Martin Bertolini were the stuff of decades of memories of laughing, singing and dancing to Kyle's DJ'ing, beach fun and dinners out at the local restaurants. Kathy was a voracious reader and a lover of music. She loved to dance and was observed bouncing along on the sidelines with barely contained enthusiasm and minimal restraint at Julie's and Lindsey and Shannon's Sweet Sixteen birthday bashes. Kathy formed strong bonds and lifelong friendships that have lasted to this day with a million great memories of laughs shared and the crazy things of youth remembered, especially by her dear friends from childhood, Nancy and Lisa, who view Kathy and Maureen like sisters. Kathy's love of animals was apparent from a very young age beginning with the first family dog, Cherokee, and over the years, many a wayward rescue cat or dog found its way into her home and heart and adapted to living amongst her menagerie.
Kathy was dedicated to her job at Lord Abbett and rose within the firm to the position of Director of Disbursement and Compensation Processing. Kathy joined Lord Abbett in 1999 and was considered a trusted colleague and friend during her 22-year tenure at the firm. Her managers and colleagues considered her a valued member of the Finance team through the many close relationships Kathy built, both personal and professional, during her time with them. In their estimation, those who had the opportunity to work with Kathy remember her as someone who gave 120% every day, a loyal team member who always got the job done, and a person who truly lived the firm values. She was a caring friend to many there and in their view, her contributions to Lord Abbett were significant.
Kathy was one of a kind, strong and smart, a woman who touched so many lives and showed strength and perseverance, undaunted in the face of obstacles. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by all who knew and loved her.
Visiting will be held on Tuesday, January 4th from 5-9 PM at the Beaugard-McKnight Funeral Home, 869 Kinderkamack Rd., River Edge, NJ. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, January 5th at 11 AM, St. Mary's R.C. Church, Dumont. Entombment will follow at Garden of Memories, Washington Township.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kathleen's memory to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Office of Development, P.O. Box 27106, NY, NY 10087-7106; https://giving.mskcc.org.
