The new version sports a slew of minor updates to improve performance and fix bugs to make your online experiences more secure and connected than ever. To get started, all you need to do is sign up for an account, download the app, and connect to the server of your choice. You can choose servers from many different locations around the world to enjoy localized browsing experiences or get around local content restrictions when you’re travelling abroad.

Work safe when connecting via public wireless hotspots

Remote working is the new kind of work, with over half of all US workers now working from home or on the move on a regular basis. Many remote work jobs take people to cafes and parks and other venues with public wireless hotspots. Most of the time, these are open, which also means they are not encrypted and that anyone with the right software can intercept data being sent between the device and the local router. VyperVPN for Windows provides public WiFi protection by automatically encrypting all web traffic when it detects you connecting to an unknown network. To provide an extra layer of security, the ‘kill switch’ feature automatically blocks all connections to websites and online services whenever the VPN disconnects or hasn’t been enabled.

If you’re looking for a way to take back control over your digital life, then VyperVPN for Windows comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check it out today at https://www.vyprvpn.com/vpn-apps/vpn-for-windows

50 years of FOBA: From tool maker to laser product pioneer

Since its founding in 1969, the tool and machine manufacturer FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving (Alltec GmbH) has developed from a craft shop for mold making into one of the leading international providers of system solutions for laser marking. The anniversary year offers the opportunity to review the company’s history as well as to look into the future of the internationally positioned company.

Selmsdorf, July 2019 – FOBA was founded in September 1969 in Lüdenscheid/Germany as a “mold making and engraving company” with 15 employees. Starting with mechanical engraving, FOBA has continued to develop the labeling of industrial products and components as a core business ever since. The basis for FOBA’s expertise in the development of complex control systems was the production of hot runner control units and other electronic components. The first laser system developed by FOBA was launched in 1991 as a Nd: YAG marking laser.

Focusing solely on laser technology since 2001, FOBA has become one of the internationally leading providers of marking lasers with almost 250 employees worldwide. Its history is characterized by innovation and change despite its tradition. Continuous technical advancement of the laser systems, multiple relocation of the company sites as well as succeeding shareholders characterize FOBA until today.

In 2009, the Lübeck-based manufacturer of laser marking machines ALLTEC acquired the laser engraving specialist FOBA in Lüdenscheid. Two companies that focus on marking and engraving with lasers also took legal action in common – now within the framework of the ALLTEC GmbH.

The FOBA brand was also continued after the company consolidation and strengthened in 2011 by renewing and sharpening its brand image. Since 2014, the sole headquarters and production and development site lie in Selmsdorf near Lübeck. International service and sales are managed by the company headquarters and offices in the United States (Chicago) and China (Shanghai).

The international focus and growth of the company is further supported by FOBA’s affiliation with the US Danaher Group. As part of the group”s Product Identification Platform, FOBA strives for innovative solutions for direct parts marking with lasers under the motto “bring products to life by harnessing laser technology”.

FOBA”s main field of industrial activity is in the area of sustainable marking of automotive components and medical technology products.

Technological Background:

The initially used solid-state and CO2 lasers were supplemented in 2004 by the first fiber laser in FOBA’s product portfolio. Constant optimization of the material and technology know-how make these today the most powerful marking lasers. This allows FOBA’s systems to label virtually any type of material in high quality with durable characters.

FOBA offers marking workstations as well as components for integration into production lines, which are optionally equipped with a marking head-integrated camera system for automated parts recognition and mark alignment. Special features of FOBA’s camera-controlled marking units are the holistic marking principle HELP and IMP for the intelligent mark positioning as well as an innovative feature for laser marking without product fixtures.

FOBA’s marking lasers, laser marking machines and vision-based marking workflows are used mainly in the automotive supply industry, medical technology, electronics and the plastics industry as well as in tool, metal and mold making to identify a large number of materials and products.

Never forget logins again with a free password manager for Windows.

Cyclonis presents its latest solution to all those forgotten and mislaid login details. Cyclonis Password Manager provides a secure and centralized location to store all your login details so you can access all your online accounts using a single master password without compromising on protection. It’s a simple and easy to use free password manager for Windows that’s also available for devices running MacOS and Android. It helps you simplify your online life in a time when the average person has more than 130 different online accounts connected to their email addresses.

Boost your online productivity and maximize security

It’s practically impossible to remember completely different login details for more than a hundred online accounts. This fact has led people to develop poor security habits, such as reusing the same password for everything. In this case, you end up with many single points of failure – if someone gets access to one account, they will be able to access everything. With a free password manager for Windows, you only have to remember one password, so there’s nothing stopping you from bolstering the security of each online account you use. This saves time, boosts productivity and helps eliminate this common disruption to your workflow. To ensure your passwords are kept safe, the repository of login details is stored in a digital vault with AES 256-bit encryption. To make things easier, you can also add Cyclonis Password Manager to your browsers. The app supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.

Make your Indian Independence Day Memorable with MrOwl

Independence Day is a joyous occasion for every Indian. It is the day that our country finally became independent from the British Empire after nearly 100 years of continuous struggle for freedom and self-rule. Traditionally, it is celebrated annually on August 15th, as that was the historical date when India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the Indian national flag for the first time at Red Fort, New Delhi. It has since become a tradition for the Indian Prime Minister to raise the flag and address the nation on this very proud day.

This national holiday is observed throughout all of India and even in areas that have been affected by the Indian diaspora with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades, and cultural events. There are numerous events and festivals across the country, specifically in prominent areas of major cities, especially government buildings that are lit-up for the occasion. People also enjoy kite-flying on the day across the country as it is a sign of freedom. As people celebrate, MrOwl is quickly becoming the platform to share with other tips on how to make your Independence Day even more memorable.

MrOwl is a Social Cloud Storage™ platform where users create public or private collections of information called “branches.”  The collections can be organized with subtopics, links, documents, and media, and the entire collection is easily searchable and shareable, making it easy to share your knowledge and resources with other people.

MrOwl user, Divya Kapoor, has shared her favorite Independence Day traditions, foods, decorations, and activities on her MrOwl branch, which is a great searchable resource that can help you plan your Independence Day festivities and make your holiday even more special (URL:  https://www.mrowl.com/user/imadivya/independenceday).

Millennials have added their flair to Independence Day from simple nationalism to celebrating everything and anything Indian. And, one way that they express their feelings is by wearing the national colors in an innovative and fashionable way. MrOwl user Kushi Kapoor has shared a branch on nail designs and inspiration for Indian Independence Day that will help you to look stylish in a fun, fresh way as you celebrate the holiday with friends and family (URL: https://www.mrowl.com/user/kushi90/nail_art_and_tutorials/inspiration/republic_day).

Lastly, families are also increasingly celebrating the occasion together. While in past generations everyone would either watch the prime minister’s flag hoisting and speech in-person or listen via the radio. The event is now evolving into other family activities such as food gatherings and travel plans. As we all know, sweets are an important part of Indian culture. On MrOwl, Rohan Singh has a very interesting branch on Indian Sweets that will inspire you with some fun ideas for your holiday celebrations (URL: https://www.mrowl.com/user/rohanimal/indian_sweets_recipes).

This year the festival of Rakshabandhan (Rakhi) also falls on August 15th which makes it even more special. If you’re keen on a trip, MrOwl user Sanjay Paul has a very popular branch on his favourite places in India that you can travel to during Independence Day. (URL: https://www.mrowl.com/user/srinjaypaul/asas).

Arvind Raichur, CEO, and Co-Founder of MrOwl said, “MrOwl is proud to be a resource for people to store, organize, and share their best Independence Day ideas.  We hope that users will discover the power of community curated search and how it can benefit them in making their day even more memorable.”
