Melissa Joan Hart hit stardom after starring on '90s classics "Clarissa Explains It All" and "Sabrina: The Teenage Witch."
Her career continued with several TV movies and she hit it big again in 2010 when she started ABC Family's "Melissa & Joey," which ran for five years.
Outside of acting, the mother of three has also become a spokesperson for Nutrisystem, starring in many of their commercials and ads.
Kenan Thompson has been a comedic icon since the '90s.
As a teen, Thompson rocketed to comedic fame as a member of the sketch comedy show "All That." From that success, he got a show with fellow cast mate Kel Mitchell called "Kenan and Kel," as well as a "Good Burger" movie. Thompson has been a featured player on "Saturday Night Live" since 2003 and is raising a daughter with his wife.
"Good Burger's" Kel Mitchell has been a steady figure in the industry, as well.
Despite reports that he had died, Mitchell is alive and well — and still acting.
Since his stint on "Good Burger" and his voice role in "Pink Panther," he has landed recurring roles on several small TV series, including "Game Shakers" and "Wild Grinders." Most recently, he brought back the infamous Ed character to interview players and report for Nickelodeon Sports at the 2017 Super Bowl media day.
Alyson Hannigan originated the iconic witch Willow on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Hannigan had fairly minor roles before busting out with "Buffy." She followed it up with roles in the "American Pie" movie series and another iconic TV role as Lily on "How I Met Your Mother." She's currently the host of "Penn & Teller: Fool Us."
She married recurring "Buffy" star Alexis Denisof and the couple have two daughters.
Sarah Michelle Gellar became famous for originating the role of Kendall on the soap opera "All My Children," but it was her title role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" that established her as a '90s favorite.
She also starred in "Cruel Intentions" and "The Grudge." She recently reprised her role as Kathryn from "Cruel Intentions" on the 2016 TV reboot.
Since having children of her own, she started a food crafting company called Foodstirs, which creates and sells baking kits for kids.
Her husband and fellow actor, Freddie Prinze Jr., was all the rage after the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" movies came out.
His role in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" not only helped him launch his acting career, it also introduced him to the love of his life. He went on to act side by side with her again in "Scooby-Doo," before taking his talents to TV. He had short stints on "24" and "Bones," all while keeping up with his voice part on the animated "Star Wars Rebels" series, which he'd been doing since 2005.
Now, he's a proud stay-at-home dad.
Jennifer Love Hewitt also starred in "I Know What You Did Last Summer," but it was her role on "Party of Five" a few years earlier that launched her career.
Hewitt has continued to act and had another huge hit TV show on her hands when she was cast as the lead on "Ghost Whisperer." The actress has also released four albums over the years, the last in 2002, and penned a book of dating advice titled "The Day I Shot Cupid."
She hasn't acted since leaving "Criminal Minds" in 2015 after she got pregnant with her second child with husband Brian Hallisay.
Brandy Norwood broke out with her music career and was a '90s queen thanks to her roles on "Moesha" and in "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella."
Norwood earned her first two Grammy nominations in 1996 for her self-titled debut album and would go on to win one in 1999.
Her acting career started with the short-lived ABC sitcom "Thea." But in 1996, Norwood broke through as the lead on "Moesha." She was cast as Cinderella in the TV film "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella," alongside Whitney Houston and Whoopi Goldberg. She went on to star in "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
Recently, she starred on BET's "Zoe Ever After," as well as reality shows including "Dancing With the Stars," "Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business," and as a contestant on "My Kitchen Rules."
Mark-Paul Gosselaar was the "Saved by the Bell" leading man during its nearly five-year run.
Once Zach Morris had his fair share of air time, the actor moved on to even bigger and better things. Despite a short lull in his acting career, Gosselaar picked back up with a role on ABC's "NYPD Blue," and followed it up with spots on ABC's "Commander in Chief" and "Raising the Bar."
His biggest role since "Saved by the Bell" was the title role on "Franklin & Bash" playing Peter Bash, but his most recent part was on Fox's "Pitch." He's shed any resemblance to Morris on the canceled Fox show.
Mario Lopez also started his empire by playing the muscle head A. C. Slater on "Saved by the Bell."
After ditching the bomber jackets and acid-washed jeans, Lopez worked on USA Network's "Pacific Blue," CBS soap "The Bold and The Beautiful," and FX's "Nip/Tuck." He also worked as a judge on Fox's "The X Factor" and he's currently the host on CBS game show "Candy Crush."
These days, Lopez is making a living working as a host for "Extra," which he's been doing for 10 years now. He does exclusive celebrity interviews and is a regular correspondent on the red carpet. When he isn't dishing all the dirty details, he's likely at home with his two children and wife, Courtney, who has lasted much longer than his first one who tapped out after just 18 days.
Lark Voorhies, aka Lisa Turtle from "Saved by the Bell," hasn't done quite as well as her former co-stars Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar.
She worked a little after the series ended, acting in "Def Jam's How to be a Player" and "How High."
Sadly, it was revealed she's battling lupus and may have bipolar disorder, though the actress denies any mental health issues.
Another lesser known star from the hit show "Saved by the Bell" is Elizabeth Berkley.
She also starred in the '90s movie "Showgirls," which notoriously bombed at the box office and then turned into a cult classic. Since then, she's had recurring roles on "The L Word" and "CSI: Miami, then competed on "Dancing with the Stars" on season 17.
She also published a book, "Ask-Elizabeth," which draws from her cross-country self-help workshops for teenage girls.
Tiffani Thiessen was also on "Saved by the Bell," starring as Zach Morris' love interest, Kelly.
She also played villainous Valerie on Fox's "Beverly Hills, 90210" before landing the role of Elizabeth Burke on USA's "White Collar."
Today, she's not acting as much, but you can still find her on TV. She hosts "Dinner at Tiffani's," her very own show on the Cooking Channel. She is also set to star on the upcoming Netflix original comedy, "Alexa & Katie."
The "Saved by the Bell" cast rounds out with Dustin Diamond, who played Screech.
Unlike his costars, Diamond hasn't remained in the spotlight for positive reasons. The actor released a very racy movie and penned a book all about his time on the set, which was greatly criticized by his cast mates who denied many of the allegations in the tell-all.
He was also arrested in 2015 for stabbing someone in a bar. After being released from jail, the actor sat down with former cast mate Mario Lopez for an exclusive interview with "Extra." He explained that the man in the movie was actually a stunt double and that the book was written by a ghostwriter.
"Home Improvement" hottie Jonathan Taylor Thomas was the "it" teen actor in the '90s.
However, instead of the fame and fortune many imagined from him, he's been almost entirely out of the limelight since the early 2000's. He had roles on ABC's "8 Simple Rules" and UPN's "Veronica Mars" before mostly stepping away to go to school.
"I never took the fame too seriously," he said during an interview with People. "It was a great period in my life, but it doesn't define me. When I think back on the time, I look at it with a wink. I focus on the good moments I had, not that I was on a lot of magazine covers."
He reunited with Tim Allen to guest star on an episode of ABC's "The Last Man Standing" and has been out of the industry again since then.
Mayim Bialik got her start on the adorable TV show "Blossom," which aired from 1991 to 1995.
Since her days in that leading role, she's graduated with a PhD in neuroscience from UCLA, written three books (one that hit shelves May 2017), and is currently starring on the hit CBS show "The Big Bang Theory" as Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler. She has even snagged a Critic's Choice Award and four Emmy nominations for that role.
Joey Lawrence played Bialik's brother on "Blossom."
Lawrence's first major role was on the NBC sitcom "Gimme A Break!" He followed that up with lead roles on NBC's "Blossom" and then "Brotherly Love" with his real-life brothers. He later become known for his roles in Disney Channel Original Movies like "Horse Sense" and "Jumping Ship." He recently starred alongside Melissa Joan Hart on ABC Family's "Melissa & Joey."
He placed third on "Dancing With the Stars" and debuted on Broadway as Billy Flynn in "Chicago." He has also released two albums.
He has two daughters with his wife.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen shared the role of Michelle Tanner on "Full House," which was only the beginning of their illustrious childhood careers.
Before they even ended their run with "Full House," these twins were making billions doing a series of movies. They put their films to rest after 2004's "New York Minute," and slowly started to act less and less.
Ashley hasn't done anything since, but Mary-Kate appeared on "Weeds" and a film called "Beastly." She's since stopped acting.
These days, the girls are known much more in the fashion industry. They're often spotted in the front rows during fashion week and have even started their own line, which only furthered their fashion empire.
Andrea Barber appeared on the '90s TV classic "Full House."
The show catapulted the Olsen twins into success, but many of their costars were long forgotten. The infamous Kimmy Gibbler, resident funny girl on the show, didn't act again until she reprised her role on the Netflix spin-off "Fuller House."
Up until then, she attended school at Whittier College and University of York in England until becoming a stay-at-home mom. She also got into running marathons, examples of which can be found all over her Instagram.
"Full House" wrapped up in 1995 leaving Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, out of work.
Sweetin went on to act in a few small TV series and movies. It wasn't until she appeared on "Good Morning America" in 2008 and announced that she had been a drug addict that the attention started again.
She wrote her book "unSweetined" about the trials and tribulations of those times, competed on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," and is now starring on "Fuller House" and celebrating five years of sobriety.
Candace Cameron starred on the same famous sitcom as D.J. Tanner.
Since those days, she's been on ABC Family's "Make It or Break It" and competed on season 18 of "Dancing with the Stars." She also cohosted ABC's "The View" for two years before stepping away to focus on "Fuller House."
Additionally, the actress has written three books and is happily married to former NHL player Valeri Bure, whose name she has since taken.
Marla Sokoloff landed almost every mean girl role the '90s had to offer.
She made a name for herself by cashing in on the intimidation factor in movies such as "The Baby-Sitter's Club," as well as shows like "Full House" and "Party of Five." In the early 2000s, she landed roles in "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Sugar & Spice." Let's not forget that she dated James Franco. However, since then she's had a few minor roles on television series.
Like many of her peers, Sokoloff has also turned to the lifestyle business, writing a blog and attending parenting parties.
Jaleel White was known for working on "Family Matters" as Steve Urkel, a household name in the '90s.
His character is still one of the most iconic characters of all time, but despite having such big shoes to fill, White has made do in the industry since the show ended in 1998. He landed roles on the TV series "Fake It Til You Make It" as well as in the hit movie "Dreamgirls," and made small appearances on "Drunk History," "Psych," "Atlanta," and "Bones."
In the fall, he'll star on the new CBS comedy "Me, Myself, & I."
Ben Savage acted as Cory Matthews on the '90s favorite "Boy Meets World."
Cory Matthews might not have been the dreamy teen boy every '90s girl lusted after, but the character made waves on "Boy Meets World." The show was a favorite throughout its years and its spin-off "Girl Meets World" became one, too.
Savage reprised his role for the Disney show alongside Danielle Fishel, aka Topanga, when it started in 2014. Before that, he was only taking on minor roles in a few prime time TV shows.
Savage's costar Rider Strong was the one making hearts melt. The actor played bad boy Shawn Hunter.
Since his days of being Cory's right-hand man, Strong has graduated from Columbia with an English degree and broken out into filmmaking.
He wrote and directed the fim "Irish Twins" and then signed on to "Girl Meets World" (despite reports that he wasn't going to), reprising his role as Shawn Hunter and directing several episodes. He also lends his voice to Disney's animated series "Star vs. the Forces of Evil."
Danielle Fishel's breakout role was playing Cory's girlfriend Topanga Lawrence on "Boy Meets World."
The actress went on to appear in the "Dorm Daze" movies before deciding to lay low. She reprised her role as Topanga in "Girl Meets World." But other than that, she has shied away from the entertainment industry.
She made quite a few headlines after she posed for Maxim in 2013, but managed to keep her divorce from Tim Belusko pretty much a secret.
The Olsen sisters weren't the only twins making things happen in the '90s. Tia and Tamera Mowry became a huge hit on "Sister, Sister."
Their work on the show helped them land parts in the Disney Channel Original Movies "Twitches" and "Twitches Too." They also got their own reality TV show, Style's "Tia & Tamera" once they were older.
Since their work as the sassiest teen twins ever, the sisters have branched out on their own a bit. Tia stuck with TV shows, starring on "The Game" and "Instant Mom," and got her own show on the Cooking Channel. She also recently released her own cook book.
Tamera, on the other hand, has made a name for herself in the lifestyle world. She started a blog, became a talk show cohost on "The Real," and penned a young adult book series, "Twintuition: Double Vision," with her sister.
Tia and Tamera's younger brother hit stardom in the '90s too. Tahj Mowry first made his name on "Full House" playing the adorable Teddy.
Mowry was a resident cutie acting opposite the Olsen twins on "Full House." He also loaned his voice to the animated Disney favorite "Kim Possible." He starred on ABC Family's "Baby Daddy" as Tucker before the show ended in 2017.
"Dawson's Creek" cutie James Van Der Beek ran the scene in the late '90s thanks to his work on the drama.
The role also made him an internet sensation recently when the four second clip of him crying became a meme.
He went on to act on "One Tree Hill" and "Mercy," before playing himself on "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" and currently plays DJ Diplo on the Viceland series he co-created "What Would Diplo Do?"
Aside from acting, he's been basking in fatherhood. He and his wife have four children together, the youngest is one.
Joshua Jackson won hearts over as Pacey, one of Dawson's best friend on "Dawson's Creek."
Before he was crushing it on TV, Jackson played an aspiring hockey player in "The Mighty Ducks" movie series. He then went on to other projects including "Cruel Intentions" and the successful sci-fi series "Fringe." He's currently starring on Showtime's "The Affair."
He dated actress Diane Kruger for 10 years, but the couple called it quits in 2016.
Katie Holmes played Joey, Dawson's best friend and Pacey's love interest.
"Dawson's Creek" was Holmes' first TV gig and only her second professional role ever. She continued to act, but none of her movies were huge blockbusters until "Batman Begins." She wouldn't return as her character for the following Christopher Nolan "Batman" movies.
Holmes continued acting until a brief hiatus in 2006 following the birth of her daughter Suri, with now ex-husband Tom Cruise.
She has since returned to acting. Her most recent roles include "Logan Lucky" and the miniseries "The Kennedys: After Camelot."
Another familiar '90s face that hasn't been seen on screens in a while is Erik von Detten's.
This actor became a Disney Channel star thanks to his roles in "Escape to Witch Mountain," "Brink!," and later, "The Princess Diaries." His most recent work was in "Toy Story 3," in which he reprised the role of voicing Sid. He will sometimes grace Disney's red carpets with his niece and nephew. But other than that, he's hardly ever heard from.
Andrew Keegan gained a following after his roles playing the bad boy in "10 Things I Hate About You" and on "7th Heaven."
The actor went on to take small parts on TV series like CBS's "CSI" and "CSI: NY," but the most interesting thing he's done since the '90s has nothing to do with acting at all.
Keegan and his wife actually started their own religion. Yep, the two lovebirds started Full Circle, "an experiential environment that aims to elevate the individual while connecting us with each other." The organization was put on hold and ceased operations, but recently picked things back up thanks to an investor in 2017.
Barry Watson's first major role was "7th Heaven" playing one of the seven children.
Shortly after the show ended in 2006, he picked up roles on ABC comedy "Samantha Who?" and The CW's "Gossip Girl." Most recently, he's been on CW's "Hart of Dixie," Showtime's "Masters of Sex," and as the lead on Up TV's "Date My Dad."
He is also a cancer survivor. The actor was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and went into remission in 2003.
Beverley Mitchell played the second-oldest daughter, Mary, on "7th Heaven."
Mitchell starred on "7th Heaven" for 10 years. A few years after the show ended, she landed a regular role on "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." She stars as herself on the mini docu-series "Hollywod Darlings" from Pop.
She got married in 2008 with "7th Heaven" cast mates Jessica Biel and Mackenzie Rosman serving as bridesmaids. The couple has two kids.
Alicia Silverstone is known for her lead role as Cher in 1995's "Clueless."
Since her days of saying, "As if," Silverstone has acted in "Butter" with Jennifer Garner, was cast on the short-lived "Suburgatory," and worked on Broadway in "Time Stands Still." She recently landed a role on TV Land's upcoming sitcom "American Woman."
Stacey Dash acted as Dionne, Cher's wing woman in "Clueless."
After that big break, she continued acting as Dionne on the TV spin-off. She also worked on the shows "The Game" and "Singles Ladies." Her most notable role since then was in "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens."
Despite having a full acting career, Dash has been noticed more for her politics as of late. The actress was hired, and subsequently fired, as a Fox correspondent. She supported Donald Trump during the 2016 election and made headlines after suggesting putting an end to Black History Month.
Alfonso Ribeiro played Carlton Banks on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is still a hit to this day. The show threw Will Smith into the limelight, and with him went many of his cast mates. While Ribeiro might not have achieved the same kind of star-studded success that Smith has, he's still made waves in the industry.
He doesn't act anymore, but he's still in front of the camera. Ribeiro has hosted for "Access Hollywood Live," "America's Funniest Home Videos," and "Unwrapped 2.0." He also won season 19 of "Dancing with the Stars."
Plus, he's known to break out moves for Carlton-themed dance battles with Justin Timberlake and Steph Curry at celebrity golf events.
Ribeiro's sassy on-screen sister, Ashley Banks, was played by Tatyana Ali.
Since her days on "Fresh Prince," Ali has acted on the soap opera "The Young and The Restless" and in the cult-classic "Jawbreaker." She's kept her resume full with smaller roles on shows like "Key and Peele" and a few made-for-TV movies.
She married Dr. Vaughn Rasberry, who she met on eHarmony. The couple welcomed a son in September 2016.
Will Smith became a hot shot after working on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and in "Men in Black."
There's no doubt that you've kept up with Smith since the show has ended. He's been in several highly-acclaimed films including "Ali," "The Pursuit of Happyness," and "Seven Pounds," and was nominated for two Oscars. He also acted in fan favorites "Independence Day" and "I Am Legend."
Most recently, he was in the panned "Suicide Squad" and "Collateral Beauty," but is set to make a comeback as Mike Lowrey in a couple of "Bad Boys" reboots. He was also recently cast as the Genie in Disney's live-action remake of "Aladdin."
Shannen Doherty made headlines for her role on "Beverly Hills, 90210."
She starred on "Little House on the Prairie" as Jenny Wilder in the '80s and landed the major film "Heathers" in 1988. After she left "Beverly Hills, 90210" after its fourth season, she did smaller projects until being cast as one of the lead witches on the hit show, "Charmed."
She reprised her role as Brenda on "90210," a spin-off of the original show. Doherty later competed on "Dancing With the Stars" and is currently filming the TV Land reboot of "Heathers."
Doherty was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 1999 and diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. After years of battling the disease, she has been in remission since April 2017.
Doherty's costar Luke Perry was a heartthrob on "Beverly Hills, 90210."
Perry only had a few minor roles before being cast in his breakthrough role. He left the show in 1995 to pursue other roles but came back after three years.
He has consistently acted in projects since then, like "Jeremiah" and "Body of Proof," and is now known as hot dad Fred Andrews on The CW's hit drama "Riverdale."
Tori Spelling's breakout role was on "Beverly Hills, 90210," and her father was one of the show's producers.

Spelling has written six books and has five kids with husband Dean McDermott, the youngest which was born in March 2017.
"My So-Called Life" might have lasted for only one season, but it shot Claire Danes to stardom.
Danes earned a Golden Globe award for her portrayal of teen Angela Chase and has since won three more for her role on "Homeland," which she has been on since 2011. The Emmy award-winning actress briefly attended Yale University from 1998 to 2000 before leaving to pursue acting more fiercely.

He's also the lead vocalist in the band Thirty Seconds to Mars, which he started with his sister in 1998.
After stints on a few unsuccessful TV shows, Jennifer Aniston hit the jackpot as Rachel Green on "Friends."
Aniston won a Golden Globe award and an Emmy for her portrayal as Rachel. Her transition to movie star wasn't easy, though. The actress was mainly cast in romantic comedies that weren't completely successful, but she did have hits with comedies like "Bruce Almighty" and "Horrible Bosses." Her dramatic turn in "Cake" earned her critical praise.
The actress is starring in 2017's "The Yellow Birds" and is currently working on a TV project with Reese Witherspoon.

He earned two Emmy nominations for guest appearances on "The West Wing," as well as another nomination for the TV movie "The Ron Clark Story." Perry played an older Zac Efron in the teen movie "17 Again."
Since "Friends," he has struggled to find another sitcom that worked. His comedies "Mr. Sunshine" and "Go On" were both short-lived, but "The Odd Couple" lasted three seasons. His most recent role was playing Ted Kennedy on "The Kennedys: After Camelot."
Gillian Anderson's breakout role came as Agent Dana Scully on "The X-Files," which ran for nine seasons and spawned two movies.
The show was renewed 14 years later for a 10th season and an 11th season is filming now.

She's incredibly active in charity work and is a self-proclaimed feminist and women's rights activist.
Her "X-Files" costar David Duchovny had minor roles on other projects, like "Twin Peaks," before playing Agent Fox Mulder.
He also returned for the show's latest renewal.
Duchovny's biggest show following "The X-Files" was as the lead on "Californication," which ran for seven seasons. Though he appeared in multiple movies throughout the '90s and early 2000's, including "Zoolander," he hasn't been in a feature film since 2013.


Amid the tight margins of commodity prices there are interesting quirks and features that we can bring to the Mining industry give back to your bottom line.
Little known facts about the SICON conveyor belt is that it comes with an energy-optimised cover that can reduce the amount of energy a conveyor belt system consumes by up to 20%. If that didn’t draw the attention of your CFO then here’s another nugget up for discussion – the SICON conveyor generates energy during downhill transport. This makes conveyance systems more economical and reduces the environmental impact. These are gigantic opportunities for mining companies to take advantage of.
A structural engineering and design for the system was jointly provided by Kramtec & Co. In the process, the main loading point onto the new SICON conveyor is from a sidewall conveyor which lifts the material on 700m inclination to approximately 70 metres above the ground.
The material is then conveyed through the existing plant to the outside of the building, on top of the first silo. Here there is an intermediate discharge station where the material can either be fed into silo 1 or can re-feed itself and carry the material onto the top of silo 2 where the final discharge occurs. From there the belt runs empty back to silo 1 where a bucket elevator allows the material to be taken out of the silo again from the bottom, lifted on top of the silo and fed back into the SICON conveyor.

When you pick up a little Lab or a German shorthair, you know a couple of things are going to happen. You’re going to fall in love to the point where you’ll develop such a bias toward the dog that you’ll eventually want to fist fight anyone who says anything that could be remotely construed as negative about your perfect little pupster.
You’ll also embrace the daydreaming that comes with a new four-legged hunting partner because, after all, the potential with your dog is both obvious and endless to anyone with the common sense God gave a toad.
But you’ll also screw up. A lot. Mistakes with gun dog puppies take on many forms, most of which are recoverable from, but not all. Some are one-off events that can ruin a dog; others are creeping issues that eventually take over training time and allow your dog to drift further off the rails.
All Play, No Work
It’s so easy to do with an eight-week-old puppy. You get it home, everyone in the family loves it up, and a few weeks slip by. You’ll get to the real training when the dog is ready, you tell yourself. Suddenly your little fluff ball is a teenager, and while still cute, it’s not as much fun when he jumps up on strangers or chases after other dogs in the park while ignoring your commands.
Pups are ready to start learning the moment they go home with you, and if anyone tells you otherwise, walk away because you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. The basic obedience commands can all start to happen with two-month-old dogs. And they should. Just like with little humans (kids), learning new tasks is easiest at a young age. Rewiring the brain and changing the behaviors that have been allowed to develop for weeks or months is not.
Start with simple treat training at first and remember how short your pup’s attention span is. Keep training consistent from day to day but very short in duration – and always designed for success. When it comes to young puppies, a little goes a long way and there is no better method to set yourself up for an awesome dog that will be ready for advanced training than one that gets the basics set in stone from the get-go.
Let’s say you’ve got yourself a Labrador retriever puppy so that you can mess with upland birds as well as ducks and geese for the next 12 years or so. Since it’s a Lab, you already know it’ll love water so you focus on obedience training and the beginnings of field-friendly drills. Along the way, you bring the pup to your cabin at the lake to open up for the summer. The pup, being long on energy and short on mental bandwidth, sprints down your dock and falls into the drink, which might be 45 degrees. Not only does he get hit with the shock of the cold, his head goes under and he panics.
This is bad. A traumatic, formative first experience with water doesn’t bode well for a duck dog, and some never really recover. Pay attention to your puppy when you’re around water and wait for a warm summer day where you can safely encourage him into very shallow water that also features a hard sand or rock bottom. If you can get him running and heated up beforehand, that’s even better. You want the first exposure to be as free of potential fear as possible, and if it goes well, you’ll be able to repeat the process in slightly deeper water until the dog has to swim. If you see any real hesitancy in his body language, abort. Water introduction is easy if done right but can be a real issue if it’s forced or not well planned out.
Water introduction, just like an intro to gunfire and live birds, has to be planned out and executed well because you may only get one chance.
Just A Little Patience…
We all know your new puppy is more loaded with potential than any dog that’s ever existed before it, but that doesn’t mean you put a kindergartner into a university-level physics course and expect 100s on every test. Dog training is all about baby steps that involve just enough challenge so there is something to work for reward-wise.
In other words, daily dog training is kind of boring. But adult ADHD doesn’t excuse us from following the pace that our pup sets for us (and for himself). Pay attention to your dog’s progress and learn to recognize when you’re asking too much. This most often stems from either trying to cram a week’s worth of training into a Saturday afternoon or from skipping a few steps to get to training drills that are more fun for us.
A good example of this with a puppy would be to start some dummy work in the yard thinking if you’ve got a retriever, it had better retrieve. If you haven’t nailed down “come” so the dog obeys every time, you’re probably going to see your young dog decide the dummy is a cool toy he’d rather have for himself. Sure, working the “come” command on a check cord for a month isn’t as fun as tossing a dummy and watching your young dog bound out to it, but you’ll soon realize something all good dog trainers know about traveling the route from pup to well-mannered bird hunting machine: there are no shortcuts.

The Australian government has had a long and storied history of trying to block porn on the Internet. But, this Thursday, a bill was introduced in Australia that would take this censorship even further. The bill would allow the federal police to alter the blacklist of sites currently controlled by the Australian Communications and Media Authority. With this, the federal police are empowered to blacklist any site that "encourages, incites or induces," "facilitate(s)" or "has, or is likely to have, the effect of facilitating" a crime. This brush is incredibly broad, and without proper checks and balances, it seems likely to be abused. Australian Police would be able to block any site they don't like, and claim that it is "likely" to facilitate crime. Australia's censorship trip down a very slippery slope takes a big second step here. First porn, now "criminal" sites. With this power, Australia is but a tiny step away from censoring valid free speech. Maybe Australia should just route all of its traffic through China's "Great Firewall" first -- that might be easier.

Aims/ objectives: We have analyzed the parasitic infections, and the population dynamics of Biomphalaria tenagophila snails. The population under study lives in water bodies formed by tributaries of the river Arias in the Tres Palmeras zone in Salta, Argentina. Study Design: Longitudinal and Cross-sectional studies. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Mathematic and School of Biology for Studies of the Diversity of Invertebrates. National University of Salta, Argentina, from January 2005 to December 2007.
Methodology: Samples were collected at least twice per season in the period under study, and taken to the laboratory for further analysis. Snails were observed daily during 7 days to detect emergence of cercariae. In negative cases, snails were dissected to search for hidden infections. Data was analyzed using the techniques of power spectrum, exploratory analysis, and estimation of parameters by linear fit for a logistic model. Simulation tests were also carried out in order to qualitatively describe the present dynamic model. Results: The highest prevalence corresponded to Echinostomatidae gen sp. III (2.99%), followed by Australapatemon magnacetabulum (1.44 %), while no infections by Schistosoma mansoni were found. Data showed that the most important infection frequencies were detected in the following order: 12, 18 and 3 months. Density-dependent parameters for the net growth rate were estimated as r ≈ 0:32, s ≈ 2:07. The corresponding carrying capacity was K ≈ 1069 for the annual case. Conclusion: The most important frequency being at 12 months was the parameter that best described the situation observed in the field. This frequency could explain the annual variation, and the opportunistic growth pattern of the species. The function corresponding to density-dependent net growth rate provides an estimation of the growth coefficient and so-called “crowding coefficient”. However, data showed oscillations in the fit curve. The same pattern was observed in the simulations that would be explained with the generalized logistic model. Another possible explanation for the oscillations would be a sinusoidally-variable carrying capacity. Moreover, simulations described qualitatively the annual population dynamics.
The discrete semi-Markov risk model is modified by the inclusion of dividends paying to shareholders and policyholders. When surplus is no less than the thresholds a1 and a2, the company randomly pays dividends to shareholders and policyholders with probabilities q1,q2 respectively. Recursive formulae for ruin probabilities are derived. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effect of the related parameters on the ruin probabilities.
Hypertension is an illness that often leads to severe and life-threatening diseases such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, heart attack and other severe conditions if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Data Mining the use of a variety of techniques to smoothen information discovery or decision-making knowledge in the database and extracting these in a way that they can put to use in areas such as predictions, forecasting and estimation. This research has developed hypertension predictive system using data mining modelling technique, namely, Naïve Bayes. Medical profiles such as age, sex, blood pressure, chest pain and blood sugar it can predict the likelihood of patients getting a hypertension. This work was implemented in WEKA environment as an application which takes medical test’s parameter as an input. The 10-fold cross validation method was used to train the developed predictive model and the performance of the models evaluated. This paper presents a model for predicting hypertension with 83.69%. The naïve Bayes’ classifier proved to be an effective algorithm for predicting the diagnosis of hypertension in Nigerian patients. It can serve a training tool to train nurses and medical students to diagnose patients with hypertension.

Fiber optic technology is the future of telecommunications. It’s faster, more reliable, and has higher bandwidth in comparison to traditional copper cabling. But how do fiber optic cables work? This article takes a deep dive into the science and technology behind fiber optic cabling. We will explore how optic connections are constructed and how they transmit data along with the cabling.
Who invented fiber optics?
Fiber optics were originally used in the 1950s during endoscopy procedures as a way for doctors to see inside a patient without making an incision. During the 1960s, engineers used the same type of technology to make phone calls traveling at the speed of light.
But it was in the early 1970s when Corning Inc created the first fiber optic cable. The team, led by Dr. Robert Maurer, was working on a project to develop a new type of glass that could be used in optical fibers. The goal was to create a strong and lightweight glass, which resulted in the invention of fiber optic cables.
What are fiber optic cables made from?
When looking at how fiber optic cable works, it’s important to understand the components of the cable, which include:
- Core – the innermost part of the fiber optic cable, made from a type of glass that has been specially designed for optical fibers.
- Cladding – is a layer of glass that surrounds the core and reflects light beams.
- Coating – to protect the optical fiber cable from moisture and environmental factors, a coating is applied to the outside of the cladding.
- Strengthening fibers are made from a type of glass that is stronger than the core and cladding, protecting the cable from damage.
- Outer jacket – this is the final layer of protection, made from a tough, weatherproof material.
Is fiber optic cable made of glass?
Optical fibers can be made of glass, but there are also plastic optical fibers. The glass optical fibers are typically made of silica, which is a type of quartz. The glass is melted and then drawn into thin fibers. The plastic optical fibers are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), a type of plastic which also goes through the same melting and drawing process to construct the fibers.
How fiber optic cables work in data transmission
A fiber optic cable contains thin strands of fibers, and light travels through the core of the strand. Each of these is approximately the same width as a human hair.
Light signals transmit data through fiber optic cables from one destination to the next. In single-mode fiber, a laser sends pulses of light down the fiber optic cable, whereas multimode fiber relies on LEDs. These pulses are then converted into electronic signals for computers and other electronic devices to process.
This is different from traditional copper cabling, where the data is converted into an electromagnetic signal that travels down the cable.
What are the types of fiber optic cables?
Fiber optic cables tend to fall into two main categories: single mode fiber optic and multimode fiber optic cables. So, what are the differences between them?
- Single mode fiber optic cables are typically used in long-distance applications. They have a smaller core diameter than multimode fiber optic cables and can transmit data at high speed.
- Multimode fiber optic cables are typically used in short distance applications. They have a larger core diameter than single mode cables. The best fiber optic cable bandwidth available in the market is currently around 100 gigabits per second (Gbps).
What are the uses of fiber optic cable?
Fiber optic cables have a variety of uses, including:
- Telecoms – fiber optic cables are used in installations to transmit data and voice signals between telephone exchanges and customers.
- Internet service and data communications – fiber connections link computer networks, servers, and other electronic devices together, for example, connecting a fiber optic internet WAN to an ethernet network.
- Cable TV – fiber cables carry the optical signal from the cable company to your home.
- Medical diagnostics – fiber optic cables transmit images and data from medical equipment.
- Security – fiber optic networks can carry video and data signals in security systems.
Why are fiber optic cables faster?
One of the main benefits of fiber optic communication compared to copper wires is the speed of data transmission. So, now we know how fiber optic cable works, let’s look at why fiber optic is faster than DSL or traditional cabling.
- Bandwidth– fiber optic cables have a much higher bandwidth than copper cables. This means they can carry more data at any one time.
- Electromagnetic interference can cause data transmission to be slowed down or even stopped. This can be a problem with copper cabling but fiber optic cables aren’t affected.
- Light transmission – fiber optic cables use light to transmit data, whereas copper cables use electricity. In fiber optic technology, there is no need to convert the data into an electromagnetic signal.
- Attenuation – Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to attenuation than copper cables. Attenuation is the loss of signal strength as it travels along the cable, which is a common problem with copper cables, particularly over longer distances.
How to check fiber optic cable
If you have an existing fiber optic cable installation and it’s not functioning as expected, how can you check the integrity of your cable? The first step is to check the connectors. Ensure they are properly connected, and there is no damage to the cable or connector.
Next, you need to check the condition of the cable. You can visually inspect the exterior of the cable for any damage, such as nicks, cuts, or tears. Use a fiber optic tester to check how well the cable is functioning.
Arrange your fiber optic cable works
If you find any signs of wear and tear, or if you’d like to book a professional assessment of your fiber optic cabling, get in touch with The Network Installers We offer fiber optic cable repair services and will speedily repair any damage. Alternatively, get in touch with our team of experts to discuss a brand-new fiber optic cable installation.

The beginning of the 1900s was a time of war and financial turmoil for the United States. There may have been peace before World War I, but there was little comfort in peace for many blacks. African Americans were no longer slaves, but were treated as sub-citizens. In some racist minds, they were even considered non-human. Twisted and insane religious beliefs viewed people of color as monkeys or ancestors of a cursed son of Noah.
Much of that kind of ignorant arrogance has been removed by education and interaction. Until World War II, not much changed. African Americans were allowed to join the military, but were assigned limited roles and separated from whites. Some made their way to show their patriotism and bravery and many, I am sure, were not mentioned.
My father was in Patton’s Third Army. His team was bogged down and out of gas and supplies. They were receiving heavy bombardment from the Germans. The Red Ball Express appeared and my dad called them Angels with Black Faces. They were the African American truckers. They delivered supplies under fire and left under fire. In fact, they were brave Americans.
Ignorance and hatred can be passed down from generation to generation. Love and tolerance can also be transmitted. My grandfather witnessed horrendous acts of racism when he was a teenager. He saw the bodies of innocent men hanging on the rafters of a lumberyard. My father witnessed the bravery of black soldiers fulfilling a dire need in battle. The murder was a heartbreak for those with true souls and a giggle for the souls of lies. How many beatings and hangings have been swept under the carpets of shame?
How long must it take before the latest racism story is just a page from an old book?

Explaining Australia's Interest In the F-35
America's ally is keeping a close eye on the ups and downs of the 5th generation fighter.
Key Point: Australia's top soldiers have a lot to say about the F-35.
Within days, Australians will get to see the first of the RAAF’s new Joint Strike Fighters—just months after the jet’s noisiest critics told an inquiry it was a ‘jackass of all trades and masterful of none’. Two members of the Air Power Australia group went on to tell the Senate committee the aircraft was ‘a broken and obsolete design, unsuitable for modern combat’. The reality, say Australian fighter pilots and senior members of the ADF with intimate knowledge of the JSF’s capability, is vastly different.
RAAF chief, Air Marshal Leo Davies, tells The Strategist that while the JSF, now officially the F-35 Lightning ll, has had its problems, it could never have got to the stage it’s reached if its critics were right. “It has flown over 70,000 flight hours, more than 200 jets are flying, the United States Marine Corps has reached Initial Operational Capability (IOC), the US Air Force has gone IOC, the US Navy is about to go IOC,” says Air Marshal Davies. “It’s incongruous to me to hear people suggest it doesn’t work. That can’t happen. Is it at its peak war fighting design and software load at the moment? No, it has got one more step to come.”
The JSF remains a work in progress, but by the time the RAAF buys its aircraft, the next design and software upgrade should be complete and the F-35s will be significantly more capable than Hornets or Super Hornets.
Air Marshal Davies says the results of the intense Red Flag air combat exercise in the US “absolutely cement our view that this is the right aeroplane for Australia.” US media is talking about a 15:1 kill ratio in favour of the F-35 against older generation fighters in the exercise in which RAAF air crews took part. (Though some commentators have raised questions about the significance of that figure.) The officer responsible for the Australian end of the US-led multinational JSF program says the aircraft will revolutionize the way the nation fights wars far into the future.
The head of the RAAF’s JSF Capability and Sustainment Group, Air Vice Marshal Leigh Gordon, says four factors give the F35 is ‘fifth generation’ edge—stealth, sensors, fusion and data sharing.
“Two factors stand out. One is the phenomenally powerful cutting edge radar. The other is the distributer aperture system, or DAS, cameras which give the pilot a 360 degree infrared view of the world. The third element is the way all of that information is fused together to give the pilot unparalleled situational awareness.”
A fourth element is the JSF’s ability to quickly share the vast amount of information it gathers with air, land and naval forces. “It will allow us to operate in the high threat environments we will need to operate in if we end up in a conflict.”
Air Vice Marshal Gordon is confident that the first of the 72 JSFs on order for the RAAF will be based in Australia by December 2018 and the first operational squadron and a training squadron will reach IOC by December 2020. Three squadrons will be fully combat ready in 2023.
Group Captain Glen Beck has been a fighter pilot all his adult life and is now director of the RAAF’s Air Combat Transition Office. He served in Iraq in 2003 as a flight commander and he’s trained many of the RAAF’s top pilots. The aim, he says, isn’t just to see aircraft delivered and hangers built for them but to get to a mature and self-sustaining system with fully trained pilots ready for operations. "With F-35 we are on a massive learning curve." He says RAAF specialists deeply embedded in the program in the US are well placed to identify any problems with the JSF. Two RAAF pilots are in the US instructing international pilots to fly the JSF and three others are training there to become instructors.
"When you compare JSF to other options, when you look out past the 2030s, looking at the global strategic situation and where technology’s going, it is the standout choice as the best solution to Australia’s air power needs. The guys love how it flies. It’s very easy to operate."
The JSF is designed for what the pilots call ‘BVR’—beyond visual range—combat but the Australian pilots say it can dogfight as well.
Group Captain Beck says it’s all about what the fighter pilots call the ‘kill chain’. “Do I have more options than the bad guys to stay alive longer and then do I have more options to fight than the bad guys? I don’t care if they find me if they can’t track me and target me. ‘If they do find me, then to track me is a different problem again. But the F-35 has fantastic sensors. I will know they are targeting me and I’m not going to do nothing if I think I’m being shot at.”
Getting the pair of highly advanced, ‘fifth generation’ jets to the Avalon Air Show will itself be a comprehensive demonstration of aviation logistics. They’ll be flown to Australia by Aussie pilots and frequently topped up along the way by a RAAF KC-30 air-to-air refuelling tanker.
Another officer with an intense interest in ensuring that the JSF works is Army chief Lieutenant General Angus Campbell. He rejects suggestions the F-35 will not be able to provide troops on the ground with effective air support. “The JSF is an extremely advanced fighter which has extraordinary and possibly unparalleled capacities in information networking which we’ve not seen in the ADF before,” says Lieutenant General Campbell.
“Every soldier on every battlefield through modern history will want, or pray for, control of the air above him. The F-35 gives our soldiers the greatest confidence that they will have air control above them. I’m delighted we’re getting it. Only those who don’t have air control above them know the true horror of that environment and I would not want that for Australian soldiers.”

Ever feel like going out in Boston drains your bank account? While living in the city is a dream for many reasons, Boston is the 4th most expensive place to live in the US, which can make having fun feel intimidating and expensive while on a tight budget. This summer, take advantage of these great options that get you out of the house and into the gorgeous Massachusetts summer weather.
1. Visit the Bunker Hill Monument
Head over to Charlestown and visit the Bunker Hill monument and museum. Free and educational, this area has beautiful greenery surrounding it, and you can feel confident knowing you are getting your steps in walking to the top!
2. Walk, or rollerblade, on the Charles River Esplanade
The Esplanade has everything you could want for an outing on a nice day: food, playgrounds, a view of the water. Take an afternoon to walk, bike, blade, scoot, (really, whatever floats your boat) in the fresh air; after a year cooped up inside, moving your body on a beautiful day is a sure-fire way to improve your mood. Even better, the Hatch Shell is virtually guaranteed to start having concerts again as Boston opens back up.
3. Picnic at the Arnold Arboretum
This Harvard botanical research institution doubles as a free public park. Trees, plants, and flowers of all types cover this 281-acre preserve. Want to go out to eat with your friends, but don’t want to pay Boston patio prices? Grab your favorite groceries and have a picnic! Picnics are great for a first or four-hundredth date, and that little extra effort to make it special will mean the world to whomever you take.
4. Explore Castle Island
Don’t let the name deceive you, there are no castles on Castle Island. There is, however, the granite bastion Fort Independence, which is one of the oldest English-founded forts in America. Even if revolutionary history is not your cup of tea, Castle Island boasts a beach, harborwalk, and playgrounds, so there is something to suit all interests and ages.
5. Go on a scavenger hunt
Think scavenger hunts are just for kids? Wrong! Grab a group of your friends, and enjoy running around the city trying to find someone wearing your college’s sweatshirt, collecting strangers’ signatures, or anything you please. As hard or as easy as you want, nothing is more satisfying than checking things off your list.
Though the call to sit on a patio and eat expensive food still rings, hopefully this list helps you go forth and conquer your summer while still managing to save money.

Last night I dug out my watercolors for the first time in months. I love to paint in the summer- there's such great light! I realized when Mom and I were setting up for the show last weekend that the paintings were looking a little picked over. I didn't have many cottage paintings left, so I'm going to try to work on more over the next few weeks.
I've only worked on this one so far. It still needs a lot of work. The frame is only laid on top as encouragement, and to check that the darkest colors are dark enough to show up.
While I had the camera out, I snapped a shot of this painting as well. I painted it for Mom a few months ago, but don't think I ever posted photos of it here. We both love Jane Austen, and while Persuasion is my favorite of her novels, we watch the 1995 addaptation of Pride and Prejudice quite often.
You can see that the paint bled horribly around the edges, which is why the painting is still unframed. I usually tape the edges of my watercolors to keep them neat. My favorite tape is extra-narrow masking tape from the model train shop which gives a nice clean line, but it's a bit difficult to find. I used a different brand of masking tape on this painting, thinking it would be the same, but as you can see it was terrible!

Zirconium is a by-product of the mining and processing of the titanium minerals, as well as tin mining. From 2003 to 2007, while prices for the mineral zircon steadily increased from $360 to $840 per tonne, the price for unwrought zirconium metal decreased from $39,900 to …
Nevertheless, the also prepared by following the same synthesis procedure incorporation of zirconium to mesoporous HMS, but without adding zirconium to the reaction medium MCM-41 and MCM-48 silicas [21–25], during the syn- (MSU-Si). thesis step, is a way to obtain zirconia-based catalysts where most of the zirconium atoms could be accessible 2.3.
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2), sometimes known as zirconia (not to be confused with zircon), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium.Its most naturally occurring form, with a monoclinic crystalline structure, is the mineral baddeleyite.A dopant stabilized cubic structured zirconia, cubic zirconia, is synthesized in various colours for use as a gemstone and a diamond simulant.
Sep 29, 2021· Zirconium silie, also zirconium orthosilie, ZrSiO 4, is a chemical compound, a silie of zirconium. It occurs in nature as zircon, a silie mineral. Powdered zirconium silie is also known as zircon flour. Zirconium silie is usually colorless, but impurities induce various colorations. It is insoluble in water, acids, alkali and ...
Sep 30, 2018· Zirconia, a white crystalline oxide form of zirconium, is considered a Group 4 element. This designation on the periodic table means zirconium is part of the titanium family. Its chemical composition makes it exceptionally durable. "Zirconium crowns are one of the strongest of all dental crown options.
Zirconia can also function as a catalyst by itself. For instance, it catalyses the hydrogenation of CO, olefins and dienes, as well as the conversion of synthesis gas to isobutane and isobutene [3–7], Sulfated zirconia is a solid superacid which catalyzes alkylation, acylation and isomerization reactions [8–10]
Manufacturing of Zirconium Oxide Fibres. ZYBF fibre is the result of the Zircar Process which transforms an organic fibre into a ceramic one. The new fibre usually has a diameter of 6 to 10 μm and a serrated outer surface. All zirconia bulk fibres are made of nearly zirconia phase stabilized with 10 % yttria.
Zirconia has a comparable flexural strength of traditional PFM restorations while maintaining a natural and vibrant translucency. Zirconia Solid is metal-free, a feature that prevents gingival darkening and removes the possibility of exposing metalic margins if …
However, the hardness of zirconia could affect the opposite natural dentition. The aim of this in-vitro study was to investigate the role of surface treatments on the wear of a zirconia material and its antagonist. Materials and methods: Fifty plates (10 × 10 × 1 mm) made of zirconia (LavaMulti (™) ZrO2, 3M ESPE), divided into five equal ...
Zirconia ceramic, also known as zirconium oxide (ZrO2), is a white crystalline oxide of zirconium.

One of the Better Choices on the Market
I like the Galaxy Tab S2. It’s the first Android tablet I’ve picked up in a long time that I’ve actually wanted to use for more than an hour, and that’s thanks to software improvements and a pretty decent hardware offering.
Undoubtedly the nicest part of the Galaxy Tab S2 is its slim, lightweight design. Holding the “world’s slimmest tablet” in your hands feels great, and the sub-400 gram weight reduces arm fatigue when holding the 9.7-inch model in one hand. The use of above average materials around the body, including solid metal and a soft-touch plastic, gives the device that premium touch that previous Samsung tablets have lacked.
The switch from a 16:10 aspect ratio display in previous models to 4:3 in the Galaxy Tab S2 is welcome, as it improves the experience while browsing the web and using apps. The AMOLED panel used on both the 9.7- and 8.0-inch models mimics the LCD used in Apple’s iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4 in resolution, while the excellent viewing angles and ultra-saturated qualities of this panel can make images and videos look great, even if it’s not particularly accurate.
Although the performance of the Tab S2 is generally pretty good, it’s disappointing that Samsung didn’t use their latest and greatest SoC inside their flagship tablet. Equipped with the Exynos 5433, the Tab S2 matches the two-year-old iPad Air, and falls significantly behind the iPad Air 2. I did appreciate the generous storage options, including microSD expansion, but the performance should ideally be a lot better from a high-end device.
The Tab S2’s software came as a bit of a surprise this time around. Previously I wasn’t very impressed with Android on tablets, but the quality of third-party apps in particular makes the experience a hell of a lot better in 2015. Having high-quality software suites such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Lightroom, as well as a great collection of games, makes devices like the Tab S2 a decent mix between productivity and entertainment.
Where I wasn’t as impressed is with Samsung’s software skin, which is lacklustre and largely just an upscaling of the same skin on the Galaxy S6. Multi-window features are neat, but not as good as similar functionality on Windows, and many apps are very basic in their design. If Samsung wants their Tab S2 to be a true iPad competitor, it needs to up its game in this department.
There’s also a camera on the Galaxy Tab S2, which I haven’t talked about in detail because it’s not particularly useful. It takes 8-megapixel images that can be okay, although indoor performance is generally pretty disappointing, and it’s clearly nowhere near the quality of Samsung’s smartphone cameras.
As for pricing, the Galaxy Tab S2 currently retails for $499 and $399 for the 32GB 9.7- and 8.0-inch variants respectively. This is the same price as the 16 GB iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4, and to be honest, Apple’s tablet offering sounds more attractive considering its superior software and performance. The 32 GB Nexus 9 is also available for under $400 if you’re after a cheaper Android variant.
So is the Galaxy Tab S2 worth it at its asking price? Probably not, considering the wider field of tablets available today, especially those from Apple. However, if you’re heavily invested in the Android ecosystem, and want a slick tablet that features (mostly) top-end hardware, the Galaxy Tab S2 is one of the better choices on the market today.
Pros: Ultra-sim, lightweight design is undoubtedly very attractive. Android on tablets has improved in the last year. Decent display with an ideal aspect ratio.
Cons: Expensive compared to Apple’s current iPads. Performance and battery life falls behind the best tablets out there.

Transitioning Into Motherhood Complication That Occur During Pregnancy and Childbirth
Becoming a mother can be a wonderful but challenging task for every woman out there, especially during the critical stage of their pregnancy and right after.
For most women, pregnancies can occur without any complications. But there are often times when some women have to deal with several complications during their pregnancies that can affect their own health, their baby’s health, and sometimes even both.
These issues can usually stem from diseases that the woman already had before she got pregnant and had only gotten worse during the pregnancy. Fortunately, early detection of these problems and prenatal care can reduce potential risks from occurring any further to you or your baby.
Common Complications During Pregnancy And Labor
There are several issues that can possibly occur during pregnancy, but here are a few common ones that a majority of women have had to deal with.
This is the type of disease that occurs when your body is unable to process sugar properly, which results in high levels of sugar content in your bloodstream. To ensure that it does not cause major problems for your baby, some women have to take insulin or modify their diet in order to control their sugar level.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can happen to almost anyone – but when it comes to pregnant women, it can be quite problematic to more than just their own health. Higher blood pressure levels occur when arteries that transport the blood from the heart to the organs and the placenta have become narrow. The lack of blood being transferred to the fetus can increase risks during labor which is why it is important to control higher blood pressure with medication.
Also called Toxemia, Preeclampsia occurs right after the first 20 weeks of pregnancy and can cause waves of high blood pressure and potential issues with the kidneys. Accordingly, some treatments have been made to counter this issue, which involves delivering the baby before the disease can further spread. You will speak with your doctor, who will discuss the benefits and risks of the treatment and will most likely induce the labor if the woman is almost 40 weeks pregnant.
Miscarriage is the loss of the baby during the first 20 weeks of the pregnancy. A report by the American Pregnancy Association had stated that more than 20% of pregnancies within healthy women had resulted in miscarriages. Often, this can occur without the woman even being aware that they were pregnant in the first place.
Unfortunately, there is no definite cause explained behind a miscarriage, but some common factors include chronic health issues, infections, and placenta problems.
However, there are many professionals in the field who have dedicated their efforts to reduce the complications during pregnancies and childbirth. A prime example of such a professional is none other than Nadia Najjari, a German-Moroccan revered reproductive medicine consultant.
Aside from her painting and yogin profession, Najjari had spent more than 21 years in the medical field, building up her Gynecology experience. She is focused on Reproductive Endocrinology and fertility, specializing in IVF segmentation to enhance implantation and success. She also focuses on recurrent implantation failure, recurrent miscarriage and fertility preservation before cytotoxic therapy, hormonal imbalances, and various hormonal imbalances.
For her exceptional skills, she is also a member of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, the American Society for Reproductive Medicines, and many more. Through her efforts, she has been providing relief to many women suffering from pregnancies complications, and it is only a matter of time until these problems will finally diminish for good.

Researchers Characterize Qualitatively Adsorbed and Free Gas in Deep Shales
Accelerating the exploration and development of deep shale gas is of great significance to ensure national energy security and achieve the dual carbon targets. In the high-temperature and high-pressure environment of deep shale buried below 3500m , the nanopores are more developed, and the gas in the restricted space will exist in the form of "solid-like dense accumulation", which is much denser than the density of free gas. In addition, as the pore size decreases, the thermodynamic parameters of methane will also change, and the phase characteristics of methane stored in different shale pores vary greatly. How to accurately describe and quantitatively characterize the adsorbed and free gas in deep shale reservoirs is a difficult problem in the exploration and development of deep shale gas, which is directly related to the evaluation and calculation of deep shale gas resource potential, the screening of favorable target areas and the formulation of development plans, and is also the basis for the scientific and efficient development of deep shale gas reservoirs.
Recently, a research team led by Associate Professor Weijun Shen from the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMCAS), conducted the collaborative studies on the quantitative characterization of adsorbed and free gas in deep shales with Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, etc. To address this problem, deep shales from the Longmaxi Formation in southern China were collected to conduct high-pressure isothermal adsorption experiments. The adsorption behavior of methane in deep shales was analyzed, and the adsorbed gas and free gas in the deep shales were characterized quantitatively. The effects of temperature, pressure, and moisture on the adsorbed gas and the density of the free gas were discussed. The results indicated that the excess adsorption isotherm curve for methane in deep shales increased and then decreased with the increase of pressure, and the modified Langmuir adsorption model may be used to describe the high-pressure adsorption behavior. The adsorbed gas in shales decreases gradually with the increase of pressure, and the proportion of adsorbed gas and free gas is between 23 and 74% when the pressure reaches 50 MPa. This research provides a useful reference for explaining how to best evaluate shale gas reservoirs, estimate the reserves in deep shales, and evaluate the adsorption and flow capacity of deep shale gas.

Microsoft data breach: what we know so far
After SCORadar flagged a Microsoft data breach at the end of October, the company confirmed that a server misconfiguration had caused 65,000+ companies’ data to be leaked. A security lapse left an Azure endpoint available for unauthenticated access in the incident, termed “BlueBleed.”
In a statement about the scale of the leak, it was revealed that security researchers at SOCRadar informed Microsoft of the leak on September 24. Although the “investigation found no indication customer accounts or systems were compromised,” information regarding customer names, email addresses, email content, company names, and phone numbers were included in the data that could have been accessed without authentication.
SOCRadar’s report suggests that this Microsoft data breach can be considered one of the most significant B2B leaks of recent years, but Microsoft disputes the severity of the incident. The Windows creator argues that the report “greatly exaggerated” the reach of the problem since the data used by SCORadar contains “multiple references to the same emails, projects, and users.”
Insisting that the issue isn’t serious, Microsoft requested that the cybersecurity vendor temporarily suspend all BlueBleed queries in the Threat Hunting module offered to SCORadar customers.
In a now-deleted tweet, security researcher Kevin Beaumont said: “Microsoft being unable (read: refusing) to tell customers what data was taken and apparently not notifying regulators – a legal requirement – has the hallmarks of a major botched response. I hope it isn’t.”
Microsoft did not break news of the leak, only confirmed almost a month after it had been flagged. It stated that it focused its attention on directly notifying customers that its investigations had flagged as being impacted by the leak, starting on October 4.
The severity of the Microsoft data breach
It is perhaps not so shocking that a data exposure can be caused by a misconfiguration by a Microsoft staffer (the probable cause), but the slow response from the company is concerning. As well as suggesting that SCORadar miscounted and exaggerated the numbers impacted by the problem, the type of data leaked has been arguably trivialized by the party at fault, in this case, Microsoft.
Erich Kron told The Hacker News, “While some of the data that may have been accessed seems trivial, if SOCRadar is correct in what was exposed, it could include some sensitive information about the infrastructure and network configuration of potential customers.”
Responding to the Microsoft data breach, the company seems to have gone on the defensive against the wrong people. Although it “appreciate[s]” being informed about the misconfigured endpoint, the company certainly does not refer to SCORadar positively in its report on the leak.
The incident undermines the inherent trust customers place in the services provided by hyperscalers. Despite being household names, human error in configuration setups can expose many thousands of details that could easily be used maliciously.
The relationship between large cloud providers and security companies has its more positive sides in the bug bounties on more-or-less permanent offer: find security holes and win money. In this case, no bounty was involved, but the fact that Microsoft did not step forward and release details of the incident proactively devalues its reputation. Questioning the numbers posited by SOCRadar and downplaying the importance of the exposed data exacerbates the tarnishing of its reputation.
