![]() Music was an integral component of daily life for the entire plantation community. ![]() The soundscape of Mount Vernon in the 18th century was a vibrant blend of transatlantic components, of European melodies and African polyrhythms, from formally composed tunes reproduced skillfully on a superbly made harpsichord to the informal twang of the jaw harp or spontaneous resonance of the fiddle, to the complex percussion and melodic accompaniment of a host of handmade African instruments, and of voices singing harmoniously in diverse styles and languages.īy the twilight of his life in 1799, George Washington had successfully developed Mount Vernon from a modest plantation into an 8,000-acre agricultural and commercial enterprise that comprised five farms, a gristmill and distillery complex, and a profitable fishery along the Potomac riverfront, worked by a community of 317 enslaved persons. Plantations such as Mount Vernon take on heightened significance as sites of cultural exchange that ultimately led to the innovation of new traditions, new foodways and cuisines, and new distinctly American forms of music, all forged in a power dynamic shaped by enslavement. Jazz, gospel, blues, country, rock and roll, hip hop-each of the major genres of American popular music of the past century was built upon a musical foundation rooted in these historical interactions. It is a rich tapestry of contributions from the peoples and cultures that comingled throughout the colonies during the colonial era. ![]() The composition of America’s musical DNA lies in its melting pot heritage.

I have a great love for Freddy Ramos. With his new apprentice, Edward, and a talking toad, he sets out to complete three tasks to prove he is a wizard in more than just name. He is a wizard, yet everything he works his magic on turns to cheese. I have only read 2 of the books in the series so far but each story is a stand alone ( no character cross over - so far) and the plots revolve around normal children discovering strange happenings in their neighborhoods - like magic trees or enchanted fudge from friendly neighbors who turn out to be witches.

These magic themed early chapter books will make their imaginations soar. ![]() This tool is primarily a TCP ping utility, with some extra functionality. They extract an ICMP TTL expired packet back to the hacker, which leads to false-positives. Some firewalls understand that the packet will expire when they reach the target host before the Access Control List (ACL) rules are applied. If the filtering device impedes the traffic from entering in, then we will be unable to see any packet back, which implies the port is closed. If the filtering device permits the traffic in, it will carry the packets to target, where the TTL will become zero, and the target will extract a TTL exceeded on transit back to the attacker. The firewalk scan functions by diffusing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets with an IP Time-to-Live (TTL) evaluated to expire just one step past the firewall. A hacker can create an accurate topology of the network behind the firewall by sending packets to every host behind the firewall. It functions by evaluating a live system behind a firewall and discovers the permitted services and open ports on that firewall, without touching the system.įirewalk also maps the remote network behind the firewall. It finds open ports on firewall – the filtering device. It is a utility tool, written by Mike Schiffman. CIRCUMVENTING THE HACKING SAFEGUARD TOOLS Firewalk If an expert firewall administrator configures a firewall, it does not respond to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests to keep it safe from being hacked. ![]() Firewall protection acts as an impediment in infiltrating computer networks. You can test the security vulnerabilities in your applications from any of the available tools. If you misconfigure or not maintain a firewall properly, it makes an easy way in for hackers. Every firewall that is available in the market today is prone to attacks – as is evident by the growing cyber attacks year on year. Installing a firewall security into a gateway is not a permanent solution to your security needs. However, some sellers are trying to blend these two binding characteristics of the firewall into one. Therefore, packet-filtering devices are more preferred on busy networks. Application gateways are proxies and cause computational problems in computers because of its heavy CPU usage. There are two types of firewall security usually available in the market – application gateways and packet filtering gateways. ![]() Prepare to be enlightened.įix the firewall security vulnerabilities in your security network before hackers get to it. This blog post intends to show you how attackers can take advantage of your mistakes, and help you avoid the common pitfalls that these criminals exploit. ![]() The best-known way to combat these cyber criminals is to understand how they carry out their attacks. They use sophisticated and accurate methods to hold data hostage, indulge in identity theft, and even launch attacks on other networks via your computer. If you aren’t aware of how hackers can attack you, how can you protect yourself from them? If hackers gain access to your system, a series of scary scenarios can take place. Without the need to get past sophisticated corporate firewalls, or circumvent multiple security protocols, the idea of penetrating your personal computer’s almost non-existent defenses becomes very attractive. Today, hackers view an individual or organization’s data as an attractive and luscious low-hanging fruit. Earlier, cyber criminals may have agreed with that assessment, but that perspective is rapidly changing in this cyber world. Many organizations believe they are too small a target for hackers to attack. One of the great intrigues in security management is the modus operandi of criminal hackers. ![]() It argues that there is need to adopt a multi-dimension approach in handling the issue as regard the parameters that determine the choice of a national language. This paper discusses the national language question with a focus on the factors pertinent in making the choice. One major challenge has been the issue of political neutrality due to the multilingual and multicultural setting of the Nigerian nation among other criteria considered in making the choice of a national language. Three major contenders stand out: an indigenous language, English and pidgin No consensus has been reached since after independence. The language is sometimes referred to as ' Pijin ' or Broken (pronounced ' Brokun '). Various suggestions have been made which comprise endoglossic and exoglossic choices. Nigerian Pidgin, also called Naij or Naija, is an English -based creole language spoken as a lingua franca across Nigeria. It has been a subject of debate among linguists and non-linguists alike at various fora. Recommendations include a review of the National communication policy, creation of language policy, declaration that Nigerian Pidgin be officially added to the list of languages for National Communication, in the interest of National Unity.Ībstract: The national language question has been on for several years. It concludes that Nigeria's multi-ethnic reality and antecedents' challenges be resolved by the pragmatic positivist approach of language unification. Pidgin English is the label for the jargon, consisting chiefly of English words, often corrupted in pronunciation, which is used for inter-communication between. This proposition further explored Spolsky's National Language Policy Theory.

The basic concept is to allow you to print from your iOS device, directly to your printer, wirelessly. Others, like myself rely on it everyday for a multitude of reasons.Īpple introduced AirPrint to iOS, with the release of version 4.2, in late November 2010. If you want to read more, Dan Frakes wrote a review for Macworld and gave Printopia a score of “5 Mice,” the highest score that Macworld awards.Some people may class printing an archaic process. You can try it out for free, and a license costs $20. In short, Printopia is my favorite because it’s feature rich, easy to set up, and extremely reliable. If you’re looking for the least expensive option to simply enable AirPrint for your iOS devices, then check out handyPrint. It is a pay-what-you-want application (you have to donate at least $1) and it does just one thing: takes the printers your Mac is connected to and makes them available as AirPrint enabled printers. If all you want to do is print, then handyPrint may be the app for you. I am ardent about having as few icons in my Menu Bar as possible, and therefore I kept searching for alternatives. Presto costs $1.95/month and not only does it allow you to print to your printers, but it also lets you to configure folders that you can print to on your computer.īut there was one critical deal breaker for me: Fingerprint runs in the Menu Bar. If your home or office PC is a Windows machine, this may be the solution for you. I discovered Fingerprint when helping a friend set up AirPrint for his Windows-equipped office - we were searching for AirPrint enablers that worked on Windows.įingerprint used to have both a Mac and a Windows version, but now it is Windows only. Fingerprint was the first app I came across that could solve my AirPrint conundrum. What was originally called Fingerprint has now been updated to Presto. Though I mostly use Printopia for printing out documents, it’s helpful to have these additional features available when I do want to use them. This is like taking a document on my phone and opening it in an application that’s on my Mac. In addition to printing to a folder, Printopia also allows me to “print” directly to an application, such as PDFpen. And, with an app like Hazel, I can set up all sorts of nerdy actions to process the files I print to my Mac. You can save it to a standard folder, a Dropbox folder, or send the file to an application (such as iPhoto, Yojimbo, Evernote, etc.)įor example, if I’m triaging email from my iPad and a receipt comes in, I can save it to the “Receipts” folder on my Mac. Using Printopia to print to a folder means that whatever it is you’re printing gets saved as a PDF to that folder on your Mac. Printing to a folder is just like the “Save as PDF…” options in your Mac’s print dialog box. Tip: To print from iOS Mail, hit the “Reply” button and you’ll see the option for printing.Īdditionally, Printopia can “Print” to any folder on my Mac. With Printopia running on my Mac, my iPhone and iPad can see my laser printer and print to it so long as my iOS device and my Mac are on the same wireless network. The premier feature of Printopia is, obviously, that it allows me to print to my home printers. Of the apps I tried, Printopia is clearly the best AirPrint enabler out there. Of the options out there, Printopia is my favorite. There are a few decent apps that give you this functionality (and some include more features than other). Thus bridging the gap between your iPhone and iPad and the printer. These apps work by sharing the printers your Mac has access to and allowing iOS to see those printers as being AirPrint enabled. There are some 3rd-party applications that you can install on your Mac to enable printing from your iPhone or iPad. This means even though my iPhone and iPad have the option of printing, they can’t “see” my printer and therefore can’t print to it.īut! There is a solution that doesn’t requiring buying a new printer (though it might be worth it for the toner). In the corner of my office, on top of my filing cabinet, sits a cheap, reliable printer.Īlas, my trusty Brother laser jet doesn’t support AirPrint. I have to break up cleaning binges with art binges. ![]() Use this Saturday to declutter your kitchen, then next weekend work on a different home project. Dedicate a Friday afternoon to get your office back in order. After building up some momentum, set aside more time. Maybe set aside five minutes each day to straighten up a small area like a desk drawer or your car. How likely are you going to clean and organize your entire home, office, or life in one day? That would be so ambitious it would overwhelm you, and likely prevent you from ever getting started. You can also follow The Essential Declutter Your Home Checklist or use it as an inspiration to create your own. ![]() I love the book, “essentialism,” by Greg McKeown. It can help make this process less frustrating and give you a visual representation of what needs to be reduced. To help get you started, create a decluttering checklist. But, you probably don’t need much more than that. You may even want to keep a throw on your couch. For example, do you need to have a closet full of blankets? I need many quilts in the closet, but do you? You probably only need a lighter one for when it’s warm and thicket comfort for the colder months. You’ll be reducing the number of things you own. One way to alleviate fear is to realize that removing the clutter from your life doesn’t mean living a life without any possessions you cherish (well, unless you move, then all bets are off). What if I throw away that pair of pants and (horror), regret that decision - even though they were uncomfortable, looked hideous, and I hated them? What if I need to troubleshoot a problem someday, but I tossed the manual? You get the point. I think decluttering is a problem for most of us, maybe because of fear. Thankfully, there are simple and effective ways - like the following 20 ways - to get rid of clutter in your life once and for all. Overall, clutter can negatively influence your health, work performance, and possibly even your relationships. As a result, you’ll be slower and less efficient in processing information. And, most worrying to me is that clutter can clog neural networks. Too much clutter can signal a lack of control. Moreover, clutter can encourage bad habits, such as unhealthy eating and sleep problems. Numerous other studies have also found that clutter increases stress, decreases productivity, and makes it difficult to unwind. One study shows a link between clutter and procrastination. It turns out that research has got my back on this. How can you focus on your work when that stack of paper is screaming for your attention? ![]() And, it occupies your mind from getting stuff done. It’s almost impossible to find items when you need them. Personally, clutter is stressful and distracting. Obviously, I keep this to myself because I firmly believe people should live how they want to live. For example, I cringe whenever I visit someone’s house or office, and they have stuff thrown all over their dining room table or desk. Here are twenty ways to declutter your life, reduce stress, and clear your mind.Īs I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself agreeing with mom. But, I honestly think that mom didn’t like clutter. I’m sure these were lessons in taking responsibility. Make your bed, or you’ll get called home from school to do that little chore. Put your stuff away, or it’s going to get tossed by mom.
