![]() However, the Samsung Galaxy S9 or Galaxy S9 Plus smartphone doesn’t come with many options but now you have followed this guide you can know your options and how limited they can be. This will happen once you have applied the steps above. The Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus app icons size will now fit on your home screen. When you are back on the home screen or the app draw – two of them will have common settings and there is only an option to change one of them – you will notice the difference.
![]() HP provides Wi-Fi 6, which is common, and also Bluetooth 5.2, which is less so. An annoying flap covers the USB-A port, however, which makes connecting USB-A peripherals more difficult than it should be. While unusual, this location can help with cable routing. Two ports – one Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4 port and the 3.5mm audio jack – are located on the rear corners, so they face at an angle rather than perpendicular with the flanks of the laptop. The Spectre x360 16’s connectivity includes some quirks. This is equivalent to a Dell XPS 15 and a bit behind a MacBook Pro 14 or 16. However, this leaves the laptop with just three USB ports, which isn’t amazing. On the plus side, the Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4 ports provide great compatibility with modern peripherals and devices. It also has a USB-A port, one HDMI 2 output, a combo headphone microphone jack, and a MicroSD card reader. The HP Spectre x360 16 has two Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 Type-C ports, each of which support 40Gbps data, USB Power Delivery, and DisplayPort Alternate Mode. ![]() The speakers sound just okay in music, movies, and games at low to mid volume, but a lack of bass is an issue if you want to blast tunes. Their placement improves audio clarity, which is good news if you’re into podcasts or YouTube. Glare remains a problem.įour speakers with Bang & Olufsen branding line the Spectre x360 16’s keyboard. That’s hardly dim, but not as bright as the best IPS laptop displays. The display reaches 352 nits in SDR (up to 428 nits in HDR). The display has a weakness it shares with other OLED laptops, which is brightness. In short, the Spectre x360 16 provides a lot of display real estate. As a result, the screen is only an inch more narrow and actually a hair taller than a typical 17-inch laptop display with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The touchscreen’s superb 3,840 x 2,400 resolution is due to its 16:10 aspect ratio. It’s a great display for both photography and video editing because it has the resolution and color performance to handle large video and image files. The display looks deep, rich, and vivid, especially when fed high-resolution 4K video. It’s not affordable, to be sure, but you’ll pay more for a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio.Īll of this translates to a fantastic experience in most situations. This makes my review model’s $2,119.99 MSRP (currently $1,929.99 on HP.com) more tolerable. The optional OLED touchscreen’s resolution goes beyond 4K. There’s also a 1080p webcam, a fingerprint reader, and an IR camera. It also has two Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C 4 ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. This laptop supports not only Wi-Fi 6, which is common, but also Bluetooth 5.2, which is harder to find. There’s a few key details worth mentioning.
![]() The "PIN" refers to a personal identification number that the cardholder enters to authorize payment. The "chip" refers to a microchip embedded into the card to secure account information. Maria Brusilovsky, spokeswoman for Travelex Currency Services, says chip and PIN technology is now the preferred way of making credit card and debit card transactions in Europe, and some vendors only accept chip and PIN cards. In addition to cards without fees, think about getting a card with the latest technology. Others are just offering a few cards without foreign fees. Some major card companies have eliminated foreign transaction fees on all of their cards. You can save money on fees by making some calls before you go and knowing which cards to use," says Tom Meyers, editor in chief of, a guide to budget travel in Europe. "Most people have multiple credit cards, and each could have a different fee structure. Foreign transaction fees are a different story.

A remote access VPN (client-to-site) allows employees who are traveling or teleworkers, secure access to company network resources. VPNs are used to transport traffic over the internet of any insecure network that uses TCP/IP communications. OverviewĪ VPN (virtual private network) provides a secure communication between sites without the expense of leased lines. Fixing a PCI DSS scan failure on the SonicWALL IPSec VPN, part oneĪn IPSec VPN using pre-shared secret for authentication will fail PCI DSS security scans.This guide will assist in the configuration of the IPSecuritas VPN Client (version 4.6.1) for VPN connectivity with Zyxel's Next-Gen ZyWALL USG routers. Here's how to switch to using certificates on the router and the VPN client to pass the scan. In my previous post on passing Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) external vulnerability scans I mentioned two unresolved scan failures, both connected with VPN access. In one case, the SSL VPN appliance, there was no solution with the existing hardware. Although we’re still running that box, its days are numbered. The second problem was with the IPSec VPN (sometimes referred to as a “normal” or “traditional” VPN to distinguish it from Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL, VPN) on our SonicWALL router. The users testing it out had found it faster and more reliable than the SSL VPN, so I really wanted to keep it. To begin with, what’s the problem? The PCI DSS scan reported this: The problem was that solving the scan failure looked horrendously complicated. Synopsis: The remote IKEv1 service supports Aggressive Mode with Pre-Shared key. Impact: The remote Internet Key Exchange (IKE) version 1 service seems to support Aggressive Mode with Pre-Shared key (PSK) authentication. Such configuration could allow an attacker to capture and crack the PSK of a VPN gateway and gain unauthorized access to private networks. – Do not use Pre-Shared key for authentication if possible. – If using Pre-Shared key cannot be avoided, use very strong keys. – If possible, do not allow VPN connections from any IP addresses. I smiled at the advice to “use very strong keys” because the security scan is automated and will fail on this issue no matter how strong the key is. Why does the SonicWALL even allow such a vulnerable configuration? When I logged the problem with SonicWALL, they didn’t answer that question but they did tell me: What didn’t make me smile, however, was the fact that this vulnerability has been known for over 10 years (that’s what the CVE number tells you).
It’s a really acoustic sounding and it’s a really big song. But one that really stands out to me is a song I debuted on tour with Trey Songz called “Angel”. Lloyd: Well I’m still in the recording process and every song that I record, I love, it’s like my new favorite. ![]() ![]() What’s a song on the album besides the singles that is a favorite of yours and people should definitely look out for? YKIGS: You’ve already released three singles from the album. We spend a lot of time listening to a lot of old records and we listen to a lot of records that other people write or produce as well and sometimes we record those. Even with Polow, the thing I really admire about him is he’s unselfish and he’s very, very committed to music, what that represents, the history of music, and where we rank in a long line of great musicians which is bigger than just our peers. That’s all this album has been about, trying to find what songs are the best for what we’re trying to accomplish, not necessarily who did it. Just because I didn’t write it doesn’t mean that it’s not a great song or a great song for me. Again, with this album, it’s not really about the writer it’s about the feeling, if it feels good then it probably is good. Lloyd: Yea I’m a writer, a producer, a performer sometimes I do all three. Will that be the case as well with this album? YKIGS: I know you’ve always contributed writing to your previous albums. Instead of spreading my talent around to a bunch of A-list producers, I decided to just get the best producer and do the whole album with one producer. But you do get a consistent and a continuity that you can only get from working with a very, very selective group of people. Lloyd: Well not like Michael and Quincy in the sense of that’s what you’re going to get, you’re not going to get “Thriller” or “Off the Wall” of course because those will never be done that way again. Talk about what it’s been like working on this album with him. YKIGS: I’ve also heard you make comments saying working with Polow is like Michael and Quincy. But he’s just one of the most confident people I’ve ever met and I think that that is something that I look forward to living up to. Lloyd: If you know him, then you know how confident he is and a lot of times that comes across as arrogance and cockiness. ![]() YKIGS: Polow Da Don who worked with you extensively on the album has already deemed it as a classic and an album that will change music. ![]() Because a label is a label, they are all the same, it’s about the people that inhabit the space. It’s a lot more refined and a lot more calculated now which I do credit to not the change of labels, but just the change of the people that work at the label. Other than that, I’m still the same Lloyd just continuing to do my thing basically the way I’ve always done it. Lloyd: It’s just got a lot to do with the people that I’m working with, that’s the biggest difference. YKIGS: Now that you’re on a new label and a new situation, how do you feel this album will compare to your previous work? You just feel like you’re on top of the world and the king of hearts. It kinda stems from the feeling that you get after sex, you know that you knocked it out and just laid it down. Lloyd: It’s just confidence and it just comes from the confidence that I have in my talent and my ability to love a woman better than anyone who has ever loved one before. YouKnowIGotSoul: Your new album “King of Hearts” will be releasing soon. YouKnowIGotSoul got a chance to catch up with Lloyd to talk about his upcoming album “King of Hearts”, making an album that will “change music” with Polow Da Don, his new label situation, what he learned working with Irv Gotti on Murder Inc., the group he was originally part of as a teen, his music leaking on the internet, and much more. ![]() Kaiser Permanente uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business.

Preclinical proof-of-concept for this approach using 1) human sCFH delivered systemically using an adeno associated virus (AAV) in a mouse model of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and 2) a mouse version of sCFH delivered using an AAV in mouse models of C3 glomerulopathy and aHUS each demonstrated recovery from complement dysregulation, reduced organ damage, and improved survival. Restoring CFH function using sCFH protein could restore normal complement regulation and reduce retinal injury that manifests as progressive GA. Song has extensive experience researching complement-mediated inflammatory, autoimmune, and thrombotic vasculopathy disorders. The construct was co-invented by Wenchao Song, Ph.D., Professor of Pharmacology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. SCFH is an engineered and optimized version of CFH that can fit into AAV vectors with robust expression and full functionality confirmed in human cells in vitro, and in multiple preclinical animal models and species in vivo. ![]() Mutations in the gene encoding CFH are among the strongest genetic risk factors for AMD including GA, with approximately 75% of patients carrying a high-risk variant of CFH with reduced complement inhibitory function, leading to complement pathway hyperactivity. Dysregulation of the complement system can lead to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including GA. 4D-175 is designed to achieve continuous expression of sCFH in the retina from a single injection in order to inhibit the inflammatory complement pathway in patients with GA without requiring repeated injections.Ĭomplement Factor H (CFH) is a master regulator of the complement system, functioning as a natural inhibitor of the alternative complement pathway. Thus, a treatment that achieves consistent expression of a therapeutic could lead to more optimal clinical outcomes. Challenges in adhering to monthly or every-other-month treatment for wet AMD can lead to suboptimal clinical outcomes, suggesting the same may be encountered in the treatment of GA. Similar treatment regimens with anti-VEGF agents for neovascular (wet) AMD have proven difficult to maintain. in February 2023 and is administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection once every 25 to 60 days. The first treatment for GA, complement inhibitor pegcetacoplan injection, was approved in the U.S. According to published estimates, there are over one million individuals with GA in the U.S. Geographic atrophy is a highly prevalent disease with a significant unmet medical need. The transgene encoding sCFH, a shortened and optimized form of a natural inhibitor of the inflammatory complement pathway invented at the University of Pennsylvania, will be combined with 4DMT’s proprietary retinotropic R100 vector to engineer the product candidate 4D-175 for treatment of GA secondary to AMD. ![]() Continues expansion of the proprietary R100 retinotropic vector-based large-market ophthalmology portfolio beyond 4D-150 for wet AMD and diabetic macular edema (DME)ĮMERYVILLE, Calif., Ap(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - 4D Molecular Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FDMT, “4DMT”), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company harnessing the power of directed evolution for genetic medicines targeting large-market diseases, today announced that it acquired the rights and know-how for short-form human complement factor H (sCFH) from Aevitas Therapeutics, Inc. ![]() CFH variants with reduced complement inhibitory function are a well-validated genetic risk factor for GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with approximately 75% of AMD patients carrying a high-risk variant of CFH utilizing a precision medicine approach, this population represents a potential target population for 4D-175.Announces sCFH as payload for 4D-175 lead product candidate for geographic atrophy (GA) sCFH extensively characterized in 3 genetic mouse models and in non-human primates (NHP).technology invented at University of Pennsylvania 4DMT acquires all world-wide rights to short-form human complement factor H (sCFH) from Aevitas Therapeutics, Inc. ![]() Road to Avonlea is a television series which was first broadcast in Canada and the United States between 19.

When it comes to individuals battling depression, Logan was probably more the norm…very private. Yet, what I then learned was how their friendship would impact Joseph’s life forever. They were mostly about their tics, school, and activities. Joseph described their friendship as a good one, and their conversations were what we might consider typical. Logan was popular: senior class president, a school news anchor, and captain of his school swim team. Together, Logan and Joseph started the first Tourette syndrome awareness club at their school. When Joseph was first diagnosed with Tourette’s, he was connected to another young man also with Tourette’s in his school named Logan. I knew that he loved science and research, yet it was what I learned about his personal journey that was most impactful. I found out that he was also awarded 4th in the category of Biomedical and Health Sciences at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix as well. He had won a grand prize at the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair. I recently viewed a post of Joseph’s on LinkedIn that peaked my interest to learn more about his successes as a young man with Tourette’s. What I have come to learn about Joseph’s experiences over the last few years has given me some insight into the struggles and strengths of today’s teens and young adults.įor over 12 years now I have been working with and surrounded by the Tourette syndrome community. The next time I saw Joseph was at her wedding. ![]() Joseph was not able to get back to our camp again, yet we continued to stay connected through his sister Mary Grace. ![]() He seemed surprised, and then just smiled and went about his day. The next time I saw Joseph I made sure to mention that he was identified by one of his peers as someone that they looked up to. He was a good kid, and had a smile on his face each time I saw his group. Up to that point, Joseph was flying under the radar. At the end of our conversation I asked him: “Who in your cabin do you see as a role model.someone you could watch and learn from over the rest of the week?” Without hesitation the camper said “Joseph Sexton.” I remember one particular incident involving a young teenage boy. ![]() In my position at a camp for children with a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome (TS), I had several opportunities to have difficult conversations with our campers. |
