To determine habitat attributes and processes suitable for the growth of Coccidioides, soils were collected from sites in Arizona, California, and Utah where Coccidioides is known to have been present. Humans or animals or both have been infected by Coccidioides at all of the sites. Soil variables considered in the upper 20 cm of the soil profile included pH, electrical conductivity, salinity, selected anions, texture, mineralogy, vegetation types and density, and the overall geomorphologic and ecological settings. Thermometerswere buried to determine the temperature range in the upper part of the soil where Coccidioides is often found. With the exception of temperature regimes and soil textures, it is striking that none of the other variables or group of variables that might be definitive are indicative of the presence of Coccidioides. Vegetation ranges from sparse to relatively thick cover in lower Sonoran deserts, Chaparral-upper Sonoran brush and grasslands, and Mediterranean savannas and forested foothills. No particular grass, shrub, or forb is definitive. Material classified as very fine sand and silt is abundant in all of the Coccidioides-bearing soils and may be their most common shared feature. Clays are not abundant (less than 10%). All of the examined soil locations are noteworthy as generally 50% of the individuals who were exposed to the dust or were excavating dirt at the sites were infected. Coccidioides has persisted in the soil at a site in Dinosaur National Monument, Utah for 37 years and at a Tucson, Arizona site for 41 years.

Fears of historic unemployment surge in US amid Covid-19

In the US economy, skyrocketing unemployment is the most-visible sign of the devastation: almost overnight, at least 30 million workers lost their jobs.

The April employment report, due out Friday, is expected to show the unemployment rate soaring into double digits, perhaps as high as 20 percent, far surpassing the worst of the global financial crisis and reaching levels not seen since the Great Depression last century.

The US government and central bank worked at a stunning pace to rush out aid and financing to workers and businesses to try to prevent a complete economic collapse, but there is a growing fear that the temporary shutdowns imposed to contain the spread of the virus will become permanent for many companies.

The coronavirus has infected nearly 1.2 million people in United States and killed around 70,000, according to a count from Johns Hopkins University, and analysts fear some of the economic damage may be permanent. “We took the elevator down, but we’re going to need to take the stairs back up,” Tom Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said in a recent speech.

Despite nearly $3 trillion in financial aid approved by Congress in March alone and trillions more in liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve, the US economy contracted by 4.8 percent in the first three months of the year — a period that included only a couple of weeks of the strict business shutdowns.

The second quarter could see the economy plunge by twice that amount.

The data on the jobs market has become so bad so fast that there are no comparisons.

Statisticians in the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which produces the monthly unemployment report, are using natural disasters as a point of reference.

“The closest that we have in terms of what was in our playbook has been usually hurricanes, because they tend to be large and impact significant periods of time, or areas,” BLS Associate Commissioner Julie Hatch Maxfield told. But even devastating events, like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, were regional — not national and certainly not global.

The job losses spread from airlines and hotels to restaurants and factories as states ordered lockdowns and then closed schools, sending initial claims for unemployment insurance surging from mid-March, with 20 million posted in the four weeks of April alone.

But those figures could underestimate the true size of the shock, since many people have not been able to file for benefits, and others do not qualify.

The official unemployment rate in March jumped from a historic low of 3.5 percent to 4.4 percent, with 701,000 jobs lost.

But the monthly data, which are separate from the jobless claims reports, are calculated only during the pay period that includes the 12th day of each month, so they too missed the real picture. BLS said the survey of households likely underestimated the jobless rate, which should have been 5.4 percent.

April will be far worse, with some economists projecting jobs losses at 28 million and a 17 percent unemployment rate. And as more businesses report their data, job losses in March are expected to be revised higher as well.

Even among workers who are still employed, many have seen their hours cut. Economists also fear the gains made during the economic expansion from 2009 in incorporating more minorities into the workforce are being eroded. “It’s now clear the economy was in a downdraft much more rapidly than anyone expected,” Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton, said.

The expansive government aid programs mean the US might see a temporary pickup in hiring in May and June, Swonk said.

But if small businesses aren’t fully back to normal by July, which will be determined by whether consumers feel safe enough to go back to restaurants and shops, “they’re going to have to lay them off again,” she said.

Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warned about the lingering damage caused by the temporary shutdowns and said it “will take some time for us to get back to a more normal level of unemployment.”

Goa Congress, BJP spar over slashing road tax by 50%

Panaji, Oct 1 (udaipur kiran) Nearly a year after the Goa government warned of a crackdown on local owners of luxury cars registered in Puducherry, on account of the low road tax in the union territory, the state transport department has now slashed road tax for all vehicles by as much as 50 per cent for a period of three months ahead of the festive season.

The Congress has described the decision taken by Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho as a “gimmick”.

“The decision was taken to provide an incentive to the common man, especially before the festive season when people tend to spend money on new goods including vehicles,” Godinho said on Tuesday.

Currently, the road tax slabs for vehicles range from 9 per cent for two wheelers to 15 per cent for cars depending on the price of the vehicle. The move to slash road tax for three months, comes a year after the transport department issued a warning to owners of luxury vehicles in Goa, not to register their expensive cars in states and union territories with low road tax slabs like Puducherry.

Slashing of the road tax ahead of the festive season, would now discourage the trend of purchasing and registering expensive vehicles outside Goa, which in the past had led to revenue leakage.

The Congress, however, has described the move as a gimmick, saying it would have no impact on the life of a common man. “The common man is so low on finances because of the economic situation, buying a new vehicle is the last thing on his mind,” the Congress said.

D&D Lead Jeremy Crawford Explains How Tasha’s "Custom Lineages" Work

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is set to come out in a few weeks and change everything we know about building Dungeons & Dragons characters. D&D Lead Rules Designer Jeremy Crawford recently spoke about what that means from a mechanics standpoint. He went deeper into the new Custom Lineage rules that are supposed to allow players to build a character from the ground up, rather than rely on preestablished fantasy archetypes.

Crawford went on the official D&D podcast Dragon Talk to field questions about Tasha’s character creation options. There was a lot of discussion about what this new customization means from a story standpoint. Players are always welcome to play using just what’s in the Player’s Handbook – they can be haughty elves gifted with magic or tricky halfling rogues. But D&D adventurers are often extraordinary, and Tasha’s Custom Lineage guidelines help players bring that out in their stats. Now your orphaned tiefling raised by circus performers can have the Dex bonus and feat to go along with that backstory.

In practice, Custom Lineage works a lot like the Variant Human rules. A character created with a Custom Lineage ignores the standard racial stats and instead has:

  • +2 to any stat of your choice
  • Darkvision or one skill proficiency
  • A feat

These rules seem to build on what we’ve already seen in the D&D Adventurer’s League updated rules. The League puts out a new season with new rules to go along with the yearly hardcover campaign, in this case September’s Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. Those rules didn’t allow for anyone to have Darkvision, but did allow for racial stat bonuses to be swapped and for players to trade one proficiency for another. It’s unclear if Tasha’s will also have these rules, or if the AL rules will change when Tasha’s comes out to be in sync.

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything will offer loads of customization in other areas, too. It will contain new spells, subclasses, and magic items. DMs also get some tricky tips on creating puzzles and adding “supernatural storms” to their worlds. Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything will be released on November 17, 2020.

Should Your Business Offer Product Samples?

How to decide if your small business should offer product samples

Sampling is a well known marketing tool for food and beverage products, yet virtually any industry can take advantage of it. We've all seen big-box stores sampling lotions, perfume, candles, and the like, but is it something your small business should consider?

In this article, we cover the science behind sampling and how to determine if it's right for your business. We also discuss what items you could sample, where to offer them, and tips on sampling efficiently.

Why Sampling Works

Why sampling works, creates happy customers

Intuitively, we know samples make people happy. They can drive customers to create a positive association with your brand and are used by many marketers to nudge consumers through the funnel. But there are also tested psychological principles that go into sampling and purchasing.

The main psychological phenomena driving the power of sampling is "the rule of reciprocity." When customers accept your samples as a gift, there's a strong human tendency to feel like they owe you in return. That feeling can stem from human guilt, peer pressure, or a sense of being polite.

Consider that stores like Costco and Trader Joe's always make sure their demo tables are attended by employees. This is because research shows "samplers with a heightened awareness of the presence of others at the sampling station may feel a level of social 'pressure' to make a post-sample purchase."

The Cost of Sampling

As with anything, you need to weigh the pros and cons of sampling to decide if it's right for you and your business. Here are some benefits and drawbacks to consider.

Sampling Benefits

1. Samples drive customers to buy more.

Even customers in the scenario above who have no intention of buying might find themselves tossing the item into their cart.

Marsh Supermarkets in Indianapolis, for example, found sampling can increase sales up to 2,000%. The Snack Factory announced an impressive conversion rate as the result of sampling, as well – a quarter of shoppers who sampled end up purchasing.

2. Sampling gets people talking.

Free samples have been shown to increase word of mouth marketing by 20%. A Cornell study found that improving the tasting room experience transformed "satisfied" customers to "highly satisfied" ones.

On average, those customers "will buy one additional bottle of wine, spend an additional ten pounds, and likely become repeat customers." Not only will customers appreciate the amazing experience they had, they'll tell their friends and social networks.

3. Samples create opportunity.

Why people love free samples

If you're handing out samples in person, you have a chance to meet with your customers, get face-to-face feedback, and test out future products. Ask them what they like and don't like, and how you can improve.

Customers will appreciate you took the time to get to know them, and will remember you for it.

4. Samples are great promotional tools.

Gordon Grade Coffee Company helped New York University students survive Finals Week with free coffee – you can be sure those students were turned into loyal followers.

You could also play into the energy of widely-attended events, like 5ks, races, athletic competitions, and fundraisers. These can be a great opportunity to give away goody bags with promotional flyers and coupons.

5. Samples showcase your packaging and brand.

When customers can hold your products in their hands, they can rate the quality of your materials and packaging. Did you use a flimsy bottle that won't hold up to rigorous use or a nice, sturdy one?

Fully fleshed out samples and packaging are critical to full-size sales down the line. Being able to sell your vision starts with replicating the visual and tactile experience of future customers.

Sampling Drawbacks

1. Money and time costs.

Costs of sampling is the most obvious drawback. Your product costs you money to offer for free and it costs time, as well. If an employee is manning the samples table, that's a cost in labor. Or, if you're offering a freemium software, those free customers may ask for customer support time they're not paying for.

Analyse the costs against the potential in increased profits.

2. Attracting the wrong crowd.

When sampling draws in too many people

While you certainly want to attract clientele through sampling, be wary of attracting folks who are in it for the freebie alone. Sometimes events attract people with no interest in your product – they're there simply to collect giveaways.

In that case, screen their interest with a conversation before offering a sample.

3. Hassle of finding the right location.

Not every sampling location is going to be right for you. Traffic and exposure may be lower at one location than it's worth. Or the demographic may simply not be right for your product. Finding the right location for your business may be more hassle than you're ready for.

What to Sample

We're most familiar with food and beverage product samples, but other businesses can get in on the action, too. Here are sample ideas for other popular industries.

Cosmetics & Fragrances

Offer samples of cosmetics and fragrances that are hard to sell online

Feelings, colour palettes, and scents are hard to describe without first-hand experience. Because words have different meanings to different people and photos come across differently from screen-to-screen, samples in this industry are very helpful.

Could you decide which fragrance to buy without smelling it first? Or which foundation best matches your skin without trying it on?

Software As A Service (SaaS) & Apps

Many SaaS and app companies have got sampling down with free trials and freemium versions. Hundreds even offer an upgraded ad-free version. Think about the last time you played Candy Crush & how tempted were you to pay for new lives?

Food & Beverages

Offer samples of food and beverage products that are hard to sell online

Sampling bites from your restaurant, bakery, cafe, etc is a great way to introduce your food to new customers, or hype-up new menu items.

This is also great for impulse buyers, who love the delicious taste of your handmade goods and want more!

Where To Sample

Decide on your purpose for offering samples. Do you want to introduce a new product? Discover new markets? Bring new customers into the store? Your "why" will inform where and how you deliver samples and measure success.

Your Store

Offer samples of your products in your storefront if you have one

If you have a storefront, offer samples inside. Hang a sign in your window or set up an A-frame outside to draw in foot-traffic.

Once your customers are inside and mingling with your friendly staff, they'll be more likely to buy the product you're sampling!

Farmers Markets

Go to a farmer's market and offer samples to attract customers

Farmers markets are a fabulous place to set up shop. They're usually held on relaxed weekend mornings, when customers of all backgrounds can leisurely walk through the vendor tents. You'll make their day and they'll be excited to come back for the next farmer's market with you.

Trade Shows

Exhibition events like trade shows exist in nearly every industry and draw people from all over the country or world. The advantage is that attendees are already interested in your industry, so you know they can be a demographic fit for your product. And, you have the chance to talk with them face-to-face as you sell them on your product.

Pro tip: Learn more about labelling for trade shows.

You may think if you sell online that you have limited sampling options, but not so fast. Samples can be thrown into online orders as a special surprise for customers.

Or, offer a free product + dispatching promotion, sample packages for purchase, or sample sizes of larger products.

Sampling Tips

Here are a few principles to help you sample successfully.

Limit Choices

When people are faced with an overwhelming number of choices, they'll choose nothing at all. This was shown in the infamous jam experiment. Offer one or two products to sample, no more.

While options and variety are great for your shop, customers during a sampling process may feel analysis paralysis.

Identify Sample-able Products

Don't leave customers guessing whether they can sample certain products. Add professional "sample" or "tester" labels to your product containers for a clear indication to passers by.

Measure Success

Keep track of how effective your sample campaigns are. Some key metrics might include profits, social media shares, or email newsletter signups. You want to make sure the time, effort, and supplies you're putting into the process are worth it.

When Not To Sample

Know when your product can't and shouldn't be sampled

There are a few instances and product lines where sampling is best avoided. For example, you may not want to offer samples if you're selling a premium product.

Depending on how high-end your business is, sampling may do more harm than good, devaluing your product and brand. Can you imagine Louis Vuitton giving away a free miniature wallet or a high-end distillery offering pours of a finely aged whiskey?

Or maybe you're selling something that can't be sampled. Not all products can be cut down in size and shelled out to passersby, after all. Some examples include large or bespoke items like bikes or furniture.

More likely than not, sampling is a smart choice for business. Allowing your customers to experience your product helps them make an informed decision and can lead to more purchases.

If at first glance sampling doesn't seem feasible for you, we challenge you to get creative! Your ingenuity will pay off in profits, brand recognition, and happy customers.

  • Pros

    • Excellent desktop interface.
    • Fast upload speeds in testing.
    • Local and cloud backup.
    • Full disk image backup and restore.
    • File syncing.
    • Ransomware Protection.
  • Cons

    • Expensive.
    • Slow web interface and mobile apps.
    • Lacks password protection for shared files.

Acronis True Image 2019 is an easy-to-use and robust solution for protecting files and disk images in the cloud. It's not the best value for storage on a per-gigabyte basis, and it's mobile and web apps aren't especially reliable, but the service does offer a ton of useful functionality, including active file protection and full-disk backups. Acronis True Image also lets you back up different file sets on independent schedules and was among the fastest in our upload tests. Accordingly, Acronis True Image is an Editors' Choice online backup service.

Price and Platforms

Acronis offers several different configurations of True Image. Acronis Standard is a one-time cost of $49.99 and grants you all of Acronis' local backup capabilities. The Advanced subscription option costs $49.99 per year and includes that same local backup functionality, as well as 250GB of online cloud storage for one computer. You also get free updates to new versions. You can upgrade the amount of storage to 500GB for an additional $20 and the number of supported computers (three for $79.99 and five for $99.99).

The Premium account option costs $99.99 per year for 1TB of online storage for one computer. You can also upgrade this subscription tier with more computers or more storage. For example, a 5TB plan that supports five computers costs $319.95 per year. A free 30-day trial lets you test the waters before committing to any purchase.

Acronis True Image is on the expensive side for the amount of storage you get, even if you don't opt for the Premium version. Carbonite and Backblaze offer unlimited backup storage for $60 per year, though both services limit licenses to a single computer. IDrive is cheaper, at $69.50 for 2TB of storage that covers an unlimited number of devices.

Acronis True Image is available on Windows (7 and newer), macOS (10.11 and newer), Android (4.1 and later), and iOS (8 and later). You can cancel an account from the web portal by opting out of the auto-renewal payments or by submitting a support ticket.

Security and Privacy

Acronis says it uses end-to-end encryption (AES-256) to protect your files and that it is designed so that the company has zero knowledge about the content of your backups. Users can set up a local encryption key (non-recoverable if you forget it) that is never sent to Acronis for each backup set, as well. Acronis' data centers are protected from a physical security standpoint (fences, biometric access checks, and video surveillance) and can continue operating in the event of a power loss for 48 hours.

Acronis' privacy policy states that it collects personal information you provide (contact and payment information) and your usage data (server logs and device information). This data is used to maintain your account, contact you, and improve and tailor its services, along with other similar purposes. Acronis says it shares this data with vendors and resellers and will give this information to law enforcement officials provided there is a legal basis. These are all standard practices. For reference, Acronis is based in Burlington, Massachusetts, in the US.

Interface and Backups

Acronis' installer is large, at over 500MB, and it takes several minutes to run through its process. Afterward, you need to sign in to your Acronis account or create a new one. True Image's interface is straightforward, with seven flat buttons along the left rail, and large, clearly labeled buttons throughout for various tasks. It's one of the most visually compelling of the services we've tested, despite all its extra features. It uses color sparingly and consistently, which makes the design visually informative.

To set up a backup, you first need to decide whether you want to protect your entire hard drive—the default—or only specific folders and files. Acronis True Image mirrors your complete hard drive in its interface and to select a file or folder for backup, just check a box next to it or at the top of the menu to select everything in the current view.

Acronis True Image 2018

Next comes the choice of destination. The most obvious option is Acronis Cloud, but you can also use an external drive or a local folder. A few other online backup services, such as IDrive, throw in local backup software as a bonus, but with Acronis, it's a core feature. In fact, the Acronis True Image software for online backup is identical to the True Image local backup software, except for the online option. Note that you cannot specify local and online targets simultaneously, which is something competitor Zoolz BigMind allows.

Once you select a source and target, simply click the green Back Up Now button or delay it until a specified time. Before you run the process, you can also choose a backup schedule, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Nonstop backup options. With the Nonstop option (also referred to as Continuous), the software detects updates to files and uploads them automatically. You can create as many Nonstop backup tasks as you like, except for those that use the Entire PC option as the source.

In the Advanced options section, you can change the number of file versions stored (the maximum is 20 for all noncontinuous backup schedules), create a local encryption key, and set upload speed and system priority levels for the operation. You can even direct Acronis to store your backup at a particular data center among its worldwide locations.

The Upon Event scheduling option includes trigger choices such as user login, logoff, system shutdown, restart, or startup. You can also set the program to shut down your computer when the backup completes. Note that Acronis True Image integrates with the File Explorer, so you can right-click to add files to your backup or generate sharing links.

Archive and Sync

Acronis' Archive tab analyzes your folders for unnecessary files and offloads them to an external drive or cloud storage. You can set it to run through your files automatically or select files individually. Additionally, like the Backup tab, it lets you encrypt said data or choose which data center to use. These archives are accessible via the File Explorer or through the web interface.

Acronis True Image 2018

There's also Sync, which keeps a folder accessible and up-to-date across devices. From the desktop application, the Sync tab lets you create a default folder to use with cloud storage or just between a few chosen computers, with the option to add cloud syncing later. The files and folders are also accessible from the web interface as well as from mobile apps. Sync worked as advertised in our testing, but it doesn't save multiple file versions.

Recovering Your Files

Acronis True Image provides simple restore options for each one of the backup tasks you set up. You just select a backup task, navigate to the Restore tab, pick some or all of those files (with point-in-time recovery options available via a dropdown menu), and then hit Continue. From the Advanced Settings tab, you can instruct Acronis to restart your computer after the restore completes, overwrite existing files on your local drive, and control the task's priority for computer resources.

Acronis keeps a respectable 20 versions of files for up to six months, but SOS Online Backup retains unlimited versions forever. IDrive keeps the last 30 versions of files, but it does so forever.

Restoring a full hard drive with Acronis is just as simple, though the process obviously takes longer. It's sort of like Windows's System Restore feature, except your recovery data is in the cloud.

You can recover files via the web client, too. Unfortunately, the software doesn't show an expanded file tree view of your folders. Instead, you have to navigate down through each level of your hard drive folder structure to get to the desired file. This can be a slow process. After you select a folder to restore, Acronis sends you a ZIP archive, as is standard.

Web and Sharing

Acronis' web presence offers impressive capabilities and looks great. However, it is a bit cumbersome to navigate (capabilities are spread out across several different interfaces), and some features did not work in our testing. When you sign in to your account online, the first page you see is your Acronis Account Page, where you can manage your product subscriptions, edit your personal info, control email subscription settings, and access support options. Notably, Acronis True Image does not support two-factor authentication for account sign-ins—something we'd prefer to see as an extra security measure.

Acronis True Image 2018

To actually dive into the web features, you need to hit the Dashboard button in the Product section. The dashboard opens in a new tab called Acronis Data Cloud. The Resources tab on the left allows you to set up and run backup processes remotely. This is an impressive capability, but browsing for files to include in the backup was a very slow process (at least for the first time) and occasionally our device appeared to be offline, even though it was actively running the Acronis software and connected to the internet. We weren't able to actually complete the backup process from the web (the Starting Backup task never ended), which is disappointing. IDrive and BigMind offer similar functionality.

If you click on any of the sidebar items (Backups, Archives, or Syncs), Acronis opens yet another new tab, with access to those collections. Aside from browsing these repositories, you can also share files from this section by hitting the gear icon, and then the Copy URL option. Shares appear in the Sharing section in the top menu and you can cancel sharing at any time. Note that all these links are public, and Acronis does not offer the option to password-protect files the way SpiderOak ONE does. Alternatively, you can share a file from the desktop via the right-click context menu from Windows File Explorer.

Acronis Active Protection

One reason you might want to back up your computer is in case ransomware makes it inaccessible. However, the last thing you want is to back up the ransomware itself. Acronis' Active Protection uses heuristic rules to monitor suspicious behavior occurring with all of your files, not just those in your backup set. This latest version includes protection against cryptomining threats. Typically, these attacks see intruders redirect your computer's resources to mine cryptocurrencies for their own gain.

Acronis True Image 2018

Acronis spun this functionality off into a standalone product, called Acronis Ransomware Protection, which we tested using a third-party ransomware simulator. When that application appeared to be encrypting files, Acronis' Active Protection popped up a warning box offering to block the action. After we clicked on Block, another dialog asked if we wanted to restore files that the ransomware simulator had managed to encrypt. Acronis did indeed recover said files—we could tell because they were images that displayed correctly. This app also allows you to define exclusions and can automatically recover data affected by a blocked attempt. This ransomware protection product earned a four-star rating in our review.

Notary, ASign, and Other Extras

For extra reassurance that your files remain exactly as they were when you backed them up, Acronis offers its Notary feature. To create a notarized backup, you start a new backup job from the Source page, and choose Files to notarize. Then, select individual files or folders for the treatment and back them up either to local storage or cloud storage. A "Notarizing…" animation appears with a check mark. After backup, you can verify the file and even see an official-looking certificate with Acronis Notary listed as a signee. Acronis claims this is "indisputable proof" that no process or person changed the file. We expect the courts will have to decide whether it's admissible evidence, should you use it for legal purposes.

Similar to Notary is ASign, which lets multiple parties digitally sign documents in your cloud storage. To use this feature, just choose Send for Signature in the gear settings icon next to a file entry in the web interface. You add email addresses of people you want to sign the document; they receive an email with a link to a secure page where they confirm their name and write (the best they can with a mouse) in the signature box. When everyone has signed, you receive an email verifying the document. This feature also uses blockchain technology to ensure that the recipient has not altered your document.

Acronis includes other tools such as Clone, which creates a copy of your disk to migrate to another PC; Rescue Media Builder; Try & Decide, which allows you to safely install software you're unsure about; and more tools for system cleanup and recovery. Parallels Access, an extra-cost option, lets you access your PC from a remote mobile device using the Parallels software. There's also a system cleanup tool.

We tested Acronis True Image's performance with a batch of three separate 1GB file sets over PCMag's fast Ethernet connection (600Mbps up) so that that bandwidth wouldn't be the limiting speed factor. Our test device is a Lenovo Ideapad 320 running Windows 10. We timed how long it took Acronis to upload each file set and then calculated the average time for comparison.

Acronis True Image posted excellent results in our tests, completing the task in an average time of 2:38 (minutes:seconds). IDrive took the top spot in our results with a time of 1:25. Still, Acronis True Image was several times quicker than SOS Online Backup (6:42) and Backblaze (7:47). SpiderOak ONE (19:02) and Livedrive (27:11) rounded out the bottom of our test results. The upload speed of an online backup service is not the most crucial thing to consider, but fast upload times can certainly make the initial run much more palatable.

Mobile Apps

We tested Acronis' mobile app on a Google Pixel running Android 9 and had no issues signing in to our account. The app is available for both Android (4.1 and up) and iOS (8.0 and up). Note that there are currently six different Acronis apps listed on the Google Play Store, but the correct one for personal accounts is called Acronis True Image: Mobile. The app's clean design is reminiscent of the desktop app and we like the consistent color scheme. However, we did encounter some performance issues.

Acronis True Image 2018

Once you download the correct one and sign in to the service, a simple interface appears that lets you choose what to back up from your phone, including contacts, photos, videos, calendars, and messages. Unlike, IDrive, you cannot back up music files, and we would prefer the ability to select individual files for backup rather than everything of a certain file type. We like that Acronis includes a continuous backup option and that it lets you protect backups with a local encryption key.

After that initial setup, Acronis provides access to your desktop backup sets via a left-swipe menu. Unfortunately, there's no way to organize or filter files within these backup folders or search through them. Also, you can't view any media within the app.

As mentioned, the Acronis app suffers from some reliability issues. For example, a few of the times I tried to delete a backup set, the app got stuck on a loading screen. Even navigating between folders from the backup device via the Access and Restore section caused lag occasionally.

True Online Backup?

There are definite advantages to backing up an entire disk image, which is the default way Acronis True Image operates. The service gets top marks for an intuitive interface, the speed of its backups, its flexible backup preferences, and extra security options like ransomware protection and secure signing. It's on the expensive side and its web and mobile apps have some reliability issues, but the desktop offering is top-notch. It is a PCMag Editors' Choice online backup service, along with IDrive, which is notable for its excellent value.

If you are more interested in only backing up your files to local storage, visit our roundups of local backup services and external hard drives to see your best options.

My story

[p]I've always wanted to try and run a marathon. I only wanted to do it once, and it had be London! I was lucky enough to get a ballot place for 2019 to run with Gregor but in October 2018, before I could even start training, I slipped a disc in my back and walking, let alone running, became a challenge. Fortunately I was able to defer my place to 2020 and was able to start training again in January - only for the race be cancelled in April, and then cancelled again in October. The option to run it virtually was there, but initially I wasn't tempted. The idea of running it on my own, without 45,000 fellow runners, the landmarks of London and the encouraging crowds is really daunting. But then I realised it was an opportunity to help support some worthwhile charities and make 2020 memorable for a good reason. As this is a 'lockdown marathon' I was reflecting on the things that have become so important to me this year and that should be accessible to everyone: a safe & relaxing home, access to enough food and essentials and beautiful outdoor spaces to exercise and escape. This is why I've chosen Crisis, The Trussell Trust and The Woodland Trust to benefit equally from any money I can raise. I also want to support The Cowshed - a Woodley-based charity that supports individuals and families referred to them with clothing, toiletries and other essentials. I can't work out how to add them to this fundraising page, so here's the deal: whatever I raise for each of the 3 charities listed here, I'll donate the same to The Cowshed.[/p][p]If you've ever seen me run, you'll know I'm definitely not a natural! It won't be fast or elegant - the aim is just to cover 26.2 miles if I can. I've resisted putting this page up until now as the last 2 weeks I've had a bad cold that won't go away - but I've decided, sod it, I'll have a go anyway! Please know that whatever happens, I'll have tried my best, and I've just had it confirmed today that I will get another chance to run the 'real' London Marathon in April 2022. I will gladly accept with huge thanks any donation that you feel able to give to help these charities to help everyone who needs them.[/p]

Thanksgiving In July

Thanksgiving in July is one of our staple community service projects.

Focusing on our neighbors without homes we set out to create a day of thanksgiving, celebration, good food and positive energy.

Each year this event takes place in the Sonny Lawson Park, next to the Blair-Caldwell Library in the Five Points.

Over the years we've served more than 1500 people in our community, providing:

  • Fresh barbecued meals (and meals-to-go) meats donated by Sams Meat in Aurora, CO,
  • Haircuts by local barbers and stylists, a full clothing boutique, and hygiene bags.
  • We partnered with the Laundry Truck to provide onsite laundry services and washed over 250 pounds of laundry!

With over 100 volunteers, we are intentional about connecting with the community. Our volunteers spend the day not only serving meals, we play basketball, dance, and engage with our people.

We are grateful to the Rocky Mountain Bank for donating all the bread, Pepsi for providing all of our beverages and to Walmart and Five Points Development for their sponsorship as well!

Text Scanner - OCR app for Android

What is OCR? Here's a tip: If you already know what OCR is, you can skip to the next section. For a computer, text and image are two different types of data. It processes text differently and image differently. Now if you have an image of some text, you might call it text and read it too being a human but the computer will consider it an image. It can not process it as text. Here is an example. Let's say that you are viewing a webpage in your phone's browser. You can select the text and copy that to share it somewhere. But if you take a screenshot of that and open the screenshot, it is no longer text. You can no longer select the text from that image and copy it. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition and it is a process of converting text from images into real text so that the computer can process it as text. It will take an image as input. Use some artificial intelligence based mumbo jumbo algorithms to recognize the text present in that image. And give the extrac…

Clip Stack - Clipboard Manager for Android

Purpose of the app You copy data while using your android phone. When you copy some data, it is stored in the clipboard. But the problem is that, in many phones when you copy some other data to clipboard, the previous one is erased from the clipboard. This is where this app comes in. This app runs in background in your android phone and stores all data that you copy to clipboard. So, by using this app, you can store the data you copy to clipboard at a separate location and access it when needed.

No sweat

LIFE INCLUDES worries large and small. With luck, just the small. And with astounding good fortune, even if it lasts only a brief spell, no worries whatsoever. I am in that sweet spot.

So here I sit on a beautiful, large plaza in the middle of Mexico, high in the mountains in cool mid-May, nary a care in the world. An espresso rests on the table while I watch the beautiful women pass, at times glancing at my Kindle, where I am reading, now and then, a good book.

I had small worries earlier this year, constructing the pastry workshop, renovations to the downtown Casita, piddling other things, the stuff of life. But at the moment … nothing.

Across the cobblestone street, where the plaza rests, are towering trees and three grand fountains where youngsters sit on ledges to flirt and snap photos of themselves, the ubiquitous selfies.

Small speakers sit low and mostly unseen all around the plaza, releasing music. If you’ve ever wondered how life would seem with a musical backdrop — like in the movies — come sit here on a stone bench or walk the broad sidewalk, and you’ll understand.

A parade passes, or what passes for a parade hereabouts. Usually, it’s a small, out-of-tune band, lots of women and girls in indigenous dress carrying clay pots to indicate their support role in life, and they sashay this way and that down the street. There are men on horseback. Today’s parade includes an old, wooden, two-wheeled cart pulled by a pair of oxen. The cart holds a statue of the Virgin.

They curve right at the next corner and continue toward the smaller plaza, their sounds diminishing. All parades here are pretty much alike — frequent, colorful and out of tune.

I look down at my Kindle and miss a beautiful woman walking by.

  1. There is a Hygienic Café in New London Ct. — at least there was 40 years ago. I am in the Midwest, sorting through boxes from a previous life and getting a house ready to sell. I love spring storms, the lakes and rivers, the breezy evenings. Nevertheless, I an anxious to finish this and get back to Mexico.

    1. Bonnie: House to sell, eh? Buena suerte. I’ve been thinking a lot recently of whether I will ever set foot in the United States again, or if I even want to. I own nothing there. I have only two relatives still breathing, and neither has much interest in seeing me, so …

      I’ve even gone so far as to consider not renewing my U.S. passport when it expires next year. My Mexican one will get me anywhere I want to go, aside from the U.S. I’ve not been above the border since early 2009, and from what I hear it’s not improved since then.

    1. Señor Gill: Far better than the last one that we had four years. It did not work worth warm spit. This new one is dicey, but it works more often than not. Sometimes it makes water so hot that it’s necessary to floorboard the cold tap to calm the hot down. Other times, it’s warm enough to bathe comfortably. Sometimes, it goes on siesta. When that happens, it’s a simple matter to switch to the gas heater, which can be done quickly by turning two knobs. I wish it were perfect, but I’m still pretty happy with it.

Elbows and shins

LET’S LOOK at illegal entry into the United States. Leftists, those marvelous language-twisters, have melded illegal entry-invasion with the broader, milder topic of immigration.

They label this stew of issues with one word: immigration. Yes, that is correct. The U.S. legal system by which foreigners apply for and — if they are fortunate — receive visas, and the issue of criminally tunneling or climbing fences into America is one and the same. No real difference, ya  know.

Leftists’ intentional combining of the different issues does this: It smears those of us who favor law and order, a positive thing, with the stench of xenophobia, a negative thing.

errorLeftist command of language is remarkable, and conservatives’ lack of such is lamentable. Leftists are so skilled that they’ve donned the lovely cloaks of “liberal” and “progressive.”

There are basically two groups who favor open borders: (1) Confused Christians and (2) Flower Children.

Sometimes a person is both.

Christians cite the need to care for the unfortunate. South of the Rio Bravo and, especially, south of Mexico, there is a multitude of unfortunates. The confused Christians favor letting as many as possible move to the United States.

It’s the Way of Jesus. Glory, hallelujah!

This is admirable, dreamy-eyed, and absolutely unworkable. America cannot support all the world’s unfortunates, or even a sizable percentage of them.

Like Marxism itself, it’s a beautiful notion — a pipe dream — that’s totally unrealistic, undoable.

Flower Children: This category is far broader than actual Flower Children left over from the 1960s. It includes everyone who hums Kumbaya and lacks reasoning skills.

These folks invariably support the Democrat Party.

The distinct issues of legal immigration vs. illegal sneaking across the border should never been confused. If you support the former and oppose the latter, speak out when leftists maliciously accuse you of being anti-immigration.

Immigration is a far cry from the graver problem of a nation that picks which of its own laws to obey, something we see from the Oval Office down to sanctuary cities.

When you hear people pretending that they are one and the same, give them your elbow. Then haul back and kick them in the shins. You’ll feel so much better for it.

Don’t remain quiet.

It’s criminality that conservatives oppose, not immigration.

26 thoughts on “Elbows and shins

  1. I have often said there are 3 ways to solve the Latino immigration problems; 1) give the southwest back to Mexico, 2) make Mexico the 51st state, and 3) make the US not worth coming to. Seems we are trying number 3.

    1. Carlos: We Mexicans would vote for options 1 and 2. As for the United States not worth coming to, we Mexicans think it is very much worth coming to. Easy money, easy blondes. That’s how we see it.

  2. In the movie “Raising Arizona”, the jailbirds who escaped from prison said “We released ourselves on our on recognizance.” So I suppose liberals see illegal aliens as people who have “immigrated on their own recognizance.”

    1. Paul: Good one, but I have a bone to pick with you! Stop it with this “liberal” business. They have you, as they have so many, brainwashed. They are left-wingers, pure and simple. Not liberal, not progressive.

      Jeez. Words matter.

  3. Mexico needs to attack the U.S., then lose the war. Then the U.S. will send billions of dollars down here. The movie The Mouse that Roared depicted exactly that.

  4. The issue of illegal immigration is a problem to be solved, not an issue to be exploited for political purposes. The idea that we can deport twelve million people is insane. To do so, would ruin the economies of the U.S. and those of other countries.

    We have to come up with a workable solution.

    Most of those that live amongst us without papers have children born here. They are U.S. citizens, and as such, they have no legal right to live in Mexico or the right to be educated in Mexico. To deny these “anchor babies” citizenship would simply create a class of stateless individuals.

    The first step to solving the problem is to secure the border. The next step is to stop the catch-and-release program. If someone gets caught crossing the border illegally, they should get some prison time. That should slow things down.

    Then we need to sort out the criminals. Everyone in the country should get an national ID card. Those that are here illegally that have criminal convictions get a free trip home, never to return.

    Those without criminal convictions get to stay and pay taxes. Once they see half of their paychecks disappear in taxes, they may think twice about living here. The IRS can go after those in the black economy.

    People without the correct papers should not receive social welfare benefits.

    We should offer people a chance to become legal residents and eventually to gain citizenship. Get legal or get gone. Not an amnesty, but an indulto. They have to admit that they are here illegally, pay a fine and pay taxes.

    1. Yup, secure the border is one of the first things to do. We got all kinds of troops all over the world. Line them up shoulder to shoulder until the fence is built. They shoot on sight anybody trying to cross the border. If caught in The States without the proper paperwork they shoot you. Your arraignment is your trial.

      If the parents aren’t here legally, the child is not a citizen either. Or the child is deported with the parents. When the child turns 18 they can go to the nearest consulate/embassy and apply to be admitted to the country. That would solve the ‘anchor baby syndrome’.

      All that said, it should be a heck of a lot easier to get a work permit out of the State Department and not cost an arm-n-leg.

      1. Judy: Well, nobody can accuse you of being namby-pamby about this.

        I don’t see much, however, in the comments so far that deal with the actual point of the post.

  5. The answer is quite simple. Punish people who give them jobs. No jobs, no job seekers. But gringos don’t have the balls.

    1. There are several laws that are supposed to ‘punish’ companies FOR HIRING ‘ILLEGALS’. They aren’t enforced due to the money power of the business lobby. That’s the main reason that the repub party avoids this matter.

      1. Smokesilver: The Republicans have not done themselves proud on this issue, to put it mildly. They are hardly better than the Democrats, which is why The Donald is so popular. I consider him neither a Republican nor a Democrat.

  6. I fully agree with you that words matter — and the vocabulary of immigration (legal and illegal) has become very muddled: including the concept of refugee status that is a completely different topic. But mixing legal and illegal immigration has a stepchild — confusing governmental policy and personal responsibility.

    I suspect your Christian classification is one example. I oppose illegal immigration. That is easy. Like you, I believe a society that ignores the rule of law turns into a society where the whims of one leader rule supreme. But, as a Christian, I also have a duty to offer Christian charity to those who tend to end up at the bottom of society’s barrel — often through their own unwise decisions.

    That is why we visit prisoners. Or provide personal charity to the thirsty, the hungry, the naked. It is why the Old Testament abjures us to provide comfort to widows, orphans, and the aliens amongst us. I am rather sensitive to that last one. After all, I am one.

    Because I show charity does not mean I support governmental policies that I believe would undercut the very fabric of American society. And I fear your broad use of the term Christian in the context of immigration (I assume you meant illegal immigration) was too broad to go unanswered.

    This is an area where we may choose to disagree. But I do not mistrust your motives. I hope you do not distrust mine.

  7. Words do matter, and the politicians and the media thrive on their misuse. “Hate crime” is one of my favorites, which is somehow worse than “murder.”

    1. Ray: Hate crime is nothing more than an end run around double jeopardy laws. If you lose charging the defendant with the actual crime, then you take another shot with a hate-crime charge. It’s outrageous.

  8. I really don’t understand why people such as yourself, Felipe, complain about something such as classifying certain criminal acts as hate crimes. It doesn’t harm you, I or society in any way, shape or form. It’s intent is quite clear and as far as I have seen it is not being abused by prosecutors. The only ones that seem to have a problem with it are OWM.

    1. Clete: “Hate crime” is arrant nonsense on the face of it. Not enough evidence to convict someone, say, of aggravated assault, perhaps because the defendant is actually innocent? No sweat, we’ll take him back to court and charge him with a bad attitude.

  9. I see, causing harm to a person solely because they are different is a “bad attitude”? Sure, I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it that way.

    1. As a side note relative to “Hate Crime,” after my father-in-law died, his house sat empty for about a year. During that time, it was broken into several times. The culprits were women; they left feminine hygiene products and shampoo bottles behind.

      We would call the cops, and they would take a report over the phone, and that was it.

      But the last time, they spray-painted swastikas all over the walls. That time six cop cars and a guy with a dog showed up. Why? Well it seems they had funds to deal with hate crimes.

      How could it be a hate crime? The man had been dead almost a year.

      1. Señor Gill: You should have painted little swastikas on the tampons. Well, at least the unused ones. That would have brought the police pronto.

        But, really, your country gets nuttier every day.

    1. Charles: Of all the nonsense that’s come out of Trump’s mouth, that Mexico will finance a wall tops the list.

      Wall’s a great idea, of course, but the United States will have to build it.

Here’s who we erase when Roe v. Wade is just about women’s rights

“Patriarchy and misogyny is absolutely holding women back and actively holding back trans and non-binary folks at the same time. Our patriarchal system is about keeping cis men in power,” said Alexis Cole, policy director of URGE: Unite for Reproductive & Gender Equity, who focuses on reproductive health care in the South and advocates for queering reproductive justice spaces. “In light of Kennedy’s retirement, that also shows us the importance, given that Kennedy was an important vote on abortion and LGBTQ rights. We know our fates are sealed together here,” she added.

Slurs Ain’t Cute

The first time I had ever heard the phrase “bitch” I was no older than seven years old. It was a rainy day in Michigan and my mom refused to let a white man over into our lane while driving. This infuriated him, and caused him to roll down his window. Along with a racial slur, the man leaned out of his car and the veins in his neck popped as he called my beautiful and beloved mother, a bitch. Tears formed in her eyes as she rolled up her window quickly, looked at me sternly, and said “Kristina. You are to NEVER repeat those words that you just heard.” The first time I was ever actually called a bitch was in 7th grade math class. After declining to date a… Read more »

Meghan Markle steps out in 'Jackie O' dress one month before wedding

Here come the future bride and groom! With exactly one month until their royal wedding (May 19), Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped out on Thursday, April 19, to attend a Women's Empowerment reception in London. The event hosted by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson marked the launch of the "Platform for Girls Education" campaign designed to encourage all Commonwealth countries to commit to providing 12 years of quality education for all girls. For the special occasion, the Suits alum wore a dress named after one of history’s most iconic women, Jackie O. The 36-year-old looked chic wearing a Black Halo dress named the “Jackie O Belted Dress.” The formfitting draped neckline frock, which retails for $375, featured a buckled leather belt and seam detailing at the waist.

><img alt=VIEW GALLERY Meghan wore the “Jackie O Belted Dress" to the reception on April 19 Photo: CHRIS JACKSON/AFP/Getty Images/National Archive/Newsmakers

Meghan, a women’s rights advocate, completed her look with matching Aquazurra Milano suede pumps, a velvet Gucci bag and her Birks diamond swirl earrings. Meanwhile, the TV star's royal fiancé, 33, sported a dapper blue suit. The couple, who earlier in the day were named as one of Time 100’s Most Influential People, met with young activists campaigning to improve the education rights of girls around the world.

MORE: Revisit Jackie Kennedy and Queen Elizabeth's first meeting

Hope, an 18-year-old from Kenya, said that she told the engaged couple and Boris “that if they empower girls we won’t let them down.” She added: “Meghan Markle was talking about how it has a rippling effect — how if you empower girls they empower the next generation in the community.”

><img alt=VIEW GALLERY The couple stepped out one month before their royal wedding Photo: CHRIS JACKSON/AFP/Getty Images

Meghan has previously spoken about wanting to “shine a light" on female empowerment. "You'll often hear people say, 'you're helping women find their voices,’” she said during her first engagement with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “I fundamentally disagree with that because women don't need to find a voice: they have a voice. They need to feel empowered to use it and people need to be encouraged to listen.”
