![]() This is nothing to worry about, and many homeowners actually like it. ![]() One other thing to remember is that over time, you’ll notice “wear spots” on your metal. Of course, cleaning products are available for this specific purpose as well, but it can be done naturally if you want to avoid the use of chemicals. Generally, cleaning to remove the patina will involve using some sort of acidic liquid - usually lemon juice. All metals have different rates of “aging,” so how often you do this will depend on what metal you have on your countertops. If you hope to preserve the original, brand new finish of your metal countertops, you’ll need to remove the patina on a regular basis, or apply a protective coating. Maintaining the finish is the main concern with metal maintenance. If you have a tough-to-clean spot, however, you can use a sponge with salt and warm water to lightly scrub the area. You should especially shy away from chemical-laden cleaners. So, if you’d like to go for that aged patina look, then avoid installing a metal countertop in your main food prep area. Acidic foods and drinks can etch metal removing the natural patina and creating spots kind of like it bleached the surface. In fact, it’s recommended that you not use harsh and abrasive tools and products on metal as these can unnecessarily scratch and mar the surface.Īcid etching is one bugaboo, though. Most of the time, no serious chemicals or scrubbing tools are necessary. One of the best things about metal countertops is that they’re super easy to clean. ![]() Much harder and won’t dent or scratch as easily as copper, pewter, and zincĬleaning and Maintaining Metal Countertops.This mixture fortunately makes brass harder and less likely to dent.

![]() ![]() We need to organize our time in the best way possible and College Planner Pro lets us do that. ![]() It is especially difficult when you work at a college and manage more students at the same time. Why Is College Planner Pro Useful?Īs the need for online tools increases, we need things that can help us manage everything in one place. Navigating them through their career paths and redirecting them toward their dreams should not be a stressful job for a counselor. Students also find the app useful when they need to find other colleges and make college lists. You can have all the information you need in one app that connects all your students, colleagues, and other colleges. Using apps like CPP saves you a lot of time that you would spend on repetitive tasks, or tracking students’ progress. As students come from different backgrounds and cultures, you will play a role of their teacher, guide, and probably a psychologist as well.Īll these tasks can be a bit stressful and overwhelming for one person, and that is why we now have apps like College Planner Pro, which can help you with your everyday tasks as a counselor. It is not easy to navigate through new trends and teaching methods, but using technology can be very helpful for you.Ĭounselors are there to guide their students through everything and help them choose their career paths. College Planner Pro is becoming a famous tool for students and counselorsĪs a college counselor, you will need to stay up to date with the latest trends and try to be the best counselor your students need. Everything you need will be on this app that facilitates your work process. You can finally get rid of papers and printed plans. It has a calendar that is built-in and a task manager that keeps you organized and prepared for everything. It provides different tools that help you track student progress, and all your school projects, manage client data and create customized college plans. What Is College Planner Pro?ĬollegePlannerPro is a popular web-based software made for college consultants and counselors. Some of these apps include Easynote, Microsoft Teams, and College Planner Pro.Ĭollege Planner Pro is one of these apps that can facilitate your work and studies. However, we had to rely on technology and everything it had to offer in order to manage our work.Īs professors, we had to use all the different apps and programs for the first time in order to teach, counsel, or track our students’ progress.Īlthough using all the different apps and programs was challenging at first, professors and students started relying on them after seeing how helpful these apps can be. Not being able to talk to our students or professors face-to-face was a real challenge we all had to face. If you are a college counselor or a consultant, chances are you have been online for a long time during the coronavirus outbreak. What makes these programs more and more popular? With the rise of College Planner Pro, many have started being interested in different types of planning software for college. ![]() ![]() ![]() You’ve got the full package: angsty, queer teens with designs adjacent to furry art. ![]() Now, there is nothing wrong with any of that by default, but let’s not pretend you aren’t already imagining some of the cringiest writing you’ve ever seen in your life. You have a anthropomorphized and queer cast of high schoolers who want to make angsty art while having to confront deep themes. As in: “The meteor that killed the dinosaurs is coming, and this is the last year.” Now that’s a slugger of pitch, in my opinion, and a hell of a lot more interesting than most visual novels.īut, oh boy, I wouldn’t blame you if it also raised some red flags. Let’s get something out of the way: the premise for the game is that you play as Fang, an anthropomorphic dinosaur musician whose last year of high school is also the last year. Let’s start with the very simplest of improvements that Goodbye Volcano High brings to the table: it’s writing. Good Writing Improves a Narrative? Who Would’ve Thought! Even if it doesn’t, it is doing enough special that other narrative-focused games should take notice. Visual novels, seemingly, needed a pioneer, and Goodbye Volcano High looks to be it, if it maintains the level of quality it has in its opening section. It’s that good.Īnd not just “good” as in “well-written,” but good as a game, done in such a unique way so as to serve as a template (and, perhaps, as a standard) for visual novels going forward. Not only is it such a great experience (at least from the half-hour or so that I played) for me to considering it one of the rare exceptions to my usual distaste for visual novels, but it is also such a breath of fresh air that it gives me hope for the entire medium. In short, I’d long since abandoned visual novels as a method of storytelling and as a style of game, content to only return to it for exceptional cases.Īnd then I came across Goodbye Volcano High at PAX East. Even though, in both cases, I wished for something a bit, well, more. And even while I’ve enjoyed both of those, they were flawed exceptions for me games that still carried the baggage of all visual novels, but just happened to be well-written and special enough to prove that at least something could work. It’s a downright bleak method of storytelling, in my opinion, made barely tolerable by the relative bright spots of games within the medium like Doki Doki Literature Club or the Phoenix Wright series. This opinion is not improved by the majority of them being a… let’s say lurid romantic fantasy where the “choices” - the only style of engagement for most visual novels - boil down to which character you most want to romance. Suffice to say, I do not have a high opinion of visual novels. Typically, they have stock anime-style art, a generous conception of what “choice” means, and hackneyed writing that is so self-indulgent that you could psychoanalyze it in order to figure out in what ways the writer’s parents failed them. They are a medium that lacks the specificity of a novel proper, while also lacking the interactivity of a video game. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since version 14, FileMaker’s HTTP and HTTPS ports have been configurable, but still default to ports 80 and 443, respectively. WebDirect or CWP (Custom Web Publishing). ![]() FileMaker Server’s Admin Console (when using port 16000).FileMaker Pro’s Upload to FileMaker Server (uses http/https).FileMaker Pro & Go client connections (port 5003).external container data (uses http/https).All of the various methods of accessing a FileMaker system can be made to use SSL connections. Here we start to get a bit more specific to FileMaker. Since version 14, the FileMaker Admin Console will block access from a given IP address for 15 minutes after 5 repeated failures. Besides using strong passwords for all access, you may want to consider using external authentication or fail2ban to help block these attempts. It does not protect you from dictionary attacks. Various forms of this attack are frequently used, probably because they are frequently effective and easy to implement. Features in the latest revision of SSL (aka “TLS”), such as session reconnects, will also help reduce any overhead. But I suspect this is now much reduced as algorithms have improved and most CPU’s have started to include instructions to help optimize encryption speeds. In the past, I’ve heard this stated as being as high as 10% added overhead, especially for the initial connection setup. There is a performance penalty for encryption and decryption of data. However, it can indirectly protect data at rest by making it harder to exploit a network connection to gain file system access or sniff passwords. In other words, any database files, scripts, or other documents available via the file system will not be protected by SSL. SSL connections will not help with EAR (Encryption At Rest) requirements. Acquiring this can present some initial logistical challenges, and require administrative overhead, as well as yearly fees for renewal. You will need to use a signed SSL certificate. Although there is some small benefit with using FileMaker’s self-signed certificate, in order to fully realize the benefits mentioned above, a custom certificate signed by a certificate authority is needed (we’ll delve into certificate types in Part II). In Part II, we’ll discuss a few additional benefits specific to FileMaker. ![]() So for this script, adding a “s” was all it took to improve its security. This would pass over your network without any encryption, and could be a great use case for SSL, since both the data and credentials are passed unencrypted. To fix this, we could change the code as follows (assuming port 443 is being used for https connections): curl -u "myuser:secretpassword" "" But consider the following XML query: curl -u "myuser:secretpassword" "" For FileMaker Pro & Go connections, even when not using SSL, credentials are encrypted and data will have some minimal encryption. If any of the above are true, then its quite likely that the same actors involved will also attempt to discover your passwords or any other confidential content passing over your network.

Wardle said that some of that has to do with the historically smaller installed base of Mac systems Windows is a bigger and thus a more lucrative target.
