More information about the registration process can be found by clicking here or here. Nonetheless, my team and I are committed to giving you the best chance of being chosen possible. The registration process is random and we cannot guarantee you will be chosen. This creates a more streamlined, efficient process. With the registration process, you only have to provide some basic information. In the past, you would have to complete the entire petition to be eligible for the lottery. The purpose of this registration period is to minimize the cost and time spent for people not chosen in the lottery system. If you are not chosen, you will not be able to continue with the H1B visa application process. If you qualify, you will be able to submit a petition beginning April 1st. On March 31st, USCIS will announce which applicants were chosen in the lottery system. My team and I would be happy to help you register. You are encouraged to seek an immigration lawyer to assist you with this process. It will cost $10 to complete this registration process. You will have to submit some basic information about the petitioner and the beneficiary. You will sign up for registration by clicking here. You can begin setting up your account on February 24th. For this reason, a lottery system is used.Īpplicants must register with USCIS between the first three weeks of March (approximately). Presently, there are more qualified applicants than available visas. As previously mentioned, there is a cap on available H1B visas. The registration is done by the employer. The first step to apply for an H1B is the registration process. My team and I are experienced with H1B visas and would be happy to help you. It is also recommended that you have an immigration lawyer assist you with this application process. Additionally, my team and I would be happy to answer any questions. Consular processing or Change of StatusĮach of these steps will be discussed in more depth below. ![]() There are five main steps in the H1B application process. This means you can transfer US employers while on the H1B visa. ![]() This means you can simultaneously seek permanent residence while on the H1B visa. One big benefit to the H1B visa is that it is a dual intent visa. If you are eligible for the H1B visa, there are many benefits to the visa. A “specialty occupation” is defined as a job requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher (or the foreign equivalent). To be eligible for an H1B visa, you must have a job offer from a US employer willing to sponsor you, the job offer must be for a “specialty occupation”, and you must meet all qualifications for the job (e.g., education and licensure). You can stay in the US for up to 6 years, with an initial 3-year validity period and 3-year extension. The H1B is a powerful visa that allows foreign nationals to work in the United States in “specialty occupations.” There are 65,000 H1B visas allocated per year, plus 20,000 additional visas for those with advanced US degrees (US masters and up). Additionally, my team and I would be happy to assist you through this process. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly at My team and I are happy to provide any information. The H1B is a powerful visa that allows foreign nationals to work in the United States in “specialty occupations.” This guide will provide you with more information about the H1B visa process. ![]() S3 Intelligent-Tiering optimizes storage costs by automatically moving data to the most cost-effective access tier based on access frequency without performance impact, retrieval fees, or operational overhead. S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is now also available as a new access tier in S3 Intelligent-Tiering storage class. S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is the ideal storage class for customers who are sensitive to per-GB storage costs due to growing data volumes, by providing them the same low latency and high throughput of S3 Standard-IA, at the lowest cost for archive storage in the cloud. Customers can now choose from three archive storage classes optimized for different access patterns and storage duration-S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval (formerly S3 Glacier), S3 Glacier Deep Archive, and now S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval. ![]() Customers who move from S3 Standard-IA to S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval can save up to almost 70% for data that is accessed only a few times per year. With S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval, customers no longer need to choose between optimizing for retrieval time or cost. S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is a new storage class that is designed to offer milliseconds access for archive data, so customers can achieve the lowest cost storage in the cloud for data that is stored long-term and rarely accessed but requires immediate retrieval when requested. However, some customers want a combination of the lower storage costs offered by S3 Glacier and the fast retrieval of S3 Standard-IA so they can meet their data access needs even more cost effectively. Customers with data that is accessed once per month on average but still requires rapid retrieval can use S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) for only a slightly higher price. Customers with data that is rarely accessed and requires retrieval times from a few minutes to a few hours can use S3 Glacier. Today, customers have several options to store infrequently accessed data. medical records, public health research data, media content, etc.). Customers often need to store petabytes of data that is only accessed occasionally, but that must be highly available and immediately accessible when requested (e.g. Our rapid innovation makes it the best storage choice for customers now and in the future.”Īmazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval offers retrieval in milliseconds for archived data at the lowest cost in the cloud-also available as a new tier in Amazon S3 Intelligent-TieringĪmazon S3 offers a wide range of storage classes that deliver the lowest cost storage for different data access patterns. “As these latest storage services and capabilities show, AWS is the most powerful and lowest cost way to access and protect data.

![]() I’ve used Koala before, and it has worked great for me. All its features are available with its Free Unlimited Trial. ![]() However, you don’t HAVE to purchase it at all to use it. In other words, I don’t get any money if you buy it, lol. And no, this is not an advertisement for Prepros, I’m not an affiliate of the developer.

Navy’s Asiatic Fleet traces its origins back to the East India Squadron which began deploying to the Far East in the 1830s. To the best of my knowledge, they aren’t.The U.S. The Chinese Navy would have absolutely no chance against the US Navy unless all of the US admirals are complete fools. The difference in power between these two navies is massive. This is like asking “Who would win, an NFL team or an NCAA team?”. All of the US Navy’s submarines are nuclear. The Chinese have only 62 submarines of which 57 are diesel-electric. The USA also has 68 submarines, something that China can’t match in either numbers or tech level. On the other hand China only has two carriers (with one more being constructed). Of those eleven, three are in the Pacific just as a matter of course. Sure, China has 355 combat-capable vessels and the USA only has 290, but those numbers don’t tell the most important story, the fact that the US Navy operates ELEVEN aircraft carriers in total. Of course they don’t because that won’t further their narratives or agendas. If the US media thinks that an increase in Chinese defence spending is alarming, they should imagine how absolutely TERRIFYING the US military must be to other countries. So the USA spends more than $500,000,000,000 more than China EVERY SINGLE YEAR on its military. ![]() Is this question meant to be a joke? The USA spent $766,580,000,000 on its military in 2020 while China spent only $252,300,000,000. Wylie Chair of Maritime Strategy at the Naval War College and a Contributing Editor for this publication. Look to the masters of strategy for wisdom-and execute. The more PLA commanders have to worry about marine access, the more they will disperse forces along the island chain-and the less firepower they will have to concentrate at any individual flashpoint cataloged by Admiral Stavridis.Ī back-to-basics approach offers the allies their best chance of massing more combat power for a contingency than can China’s armed forces. The United States and its allies can deliberately compound China’s access dilemma by deploying along the first island chain and barring its access to the high seas through the straits that puncture the island chain. Beijing has to fret about gaining access to the Western Pacific high seas and waters beyond from the moment a warship or merchantman casts off lines in a Chinese seaport until the time it moors in a foreign port of call. Geography is a foe to China, fettering its nautical destiny. Some principles that should govern war planning in the Western Pacific or the Indian Ocean include: military and its regional allies should act on that logic, making themselves the ornerier contender rather than passively awaiting what the PLA Navy and the landbound air and rocket forces that back up the fleet choose to do off Taiwan, in the East or South China Sea, or elsewhere on the Indo-Pacific map. In part, it’s because the antagonist gets a say in how the endeavor unfolds and will do its darnedest to make sure it is stronger at the decisive place and time. In part that’s because of the climate of warfare, an endeavor rife with chance, dark passions, and Murphy’s Law. But it does bias the odds toward the better-armed gunslinger.Īnd yet Clausewitz points out that while everything in warfare is simple, accomplishing the simplest thing is difficult. More firepower furnishes no ironclad guarantee of victory. Straightforward, isn’t it? Whoever’s stronger where it matters, when it matters, wins. Strategic grandmasters from Carl von Clausewitz to Alfred Thayer Mahan affirm that at its most fundamental, strategy is about amassing more firepower than the adversary at the scene of battle at the time of battle. commanders and officialdom should look to the basics of strategy, concentrating in particular on the principle of concentration. ![]() ![]() and allied strategy vis-à-vis China for times of strife.

Ask: What information can you get from this graph that you can’t get from the maps? (You can find the population of Boston in different years.) Note for students that the population in 1765 was only 15,520, and in 2010 there were more than 600,000 residents. Explain that maps are useful for showing how the cultural landscape of a city changes over time, but graphs provide different kinds of useful information. Project the bar graph of Boston Population, 1765-2010. These are street patterns you can find in many cities. Students might also notice that the old streets were winding and crooked, and the newer streets are arranged in a grid. What buildings and areas are still found in Boston? (Old North Church Paul Revere’s House Boston Common and Beacon Hill King’s Chapel Back Bay is not a bay, but the area is still called Back Bay.).How does the map show how people’s lives have changed over time? (It shows increased transportation, including commuter train lines, and also more roads and bridges for car/truck travel instead of ship/boat travel.).Why do you think Bostonians filled in the water around the original city?

Which is to say, Panic’s strategy has backfired on them. So while the new version may help some, it is irrelevant to others. Speaking for myself, while Transmit 5 has a plethora of improvements which obviously impacted development costs (no upgrade discount), none of them affect me, so I have not upgraded from Transmit 4. Another example of this is Toast, which is struggling to hold onto a dying medium with expensive and trivial upgrades. Sometimes this works and sometimes it does not, which may explain why their sales are lagging. I think they are attempting to retain relevance by adapting to every new technology under the sun. In software, or course, this has led to feature bloat in many cases, which has certainly affected Transmit. There is an old saying in business, if you’re not growing, you’re dying. At the same time companies are always seeking to expand their user base-there is no such thing as enough profit. No product can survive with a static customer base new development is necessary to even retain their existing users. But it has reduced development costs, which was the main point of the exercise. ![]() As for development, subscription pricing has not slowed, let alone halted, development of Adobe’s products, for instance, or Microsoft’s either. It doesn’t store it in any proprietary format of its own. I don’t see how any of your arguments apply to Transmit. The bottom line is that if you use a subscription App for data you are locked into that product on a fee paying basis for as long as you want to access your data or the company supports the product.įor those thinking ‘Export’, exporting data into a different format is not required or guaranteed to work.Īs a side issue, subscriptions hinder development as once the developer has enough subscribers to insure an effective profit, their is little financial incentive to improve the product as customers can abandon the product without losing access to their data. You often cannot abandon the App if a competitor comes out with a better product without loosing all your data.If the company abandons the App or ceases business, you may be faced with the prospect fo loosing all your data unless the data is stored in some kind of a universal format. ![]()
Thanks to the folks at DEVONtechnologies for this cool app. If you download it directly, you can get a version which will work on Mac OS X 10.5 or higher (PowerPC or Intel), which is good news for folks running older versions of Mac OS X.
