Courtesy JLRCalamigos Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu set a suitably rugged but inviting stage for the latest Destination Defender: an outdoor gathering of over 3,000 loyal ‘Landy’ owners and enthusiasts who spent the weekend before Thanksgiving immersed in the Defender lifestyle. Expert-led talks, demos, and outdoor activities, including experience drives in the new high-performance HALO model OCTA, all featured.

Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) is a network technology for routing and packet forwarding in private, wide-area network (WAN) connections. It is a switching mechanism that uses labels to decide the shortest possible path instead of the usual network address. In general, these labels are more effective for directing data through paths than traditional internet protocols — which use long, less efficient network addresses when moving data from one internet node to another. 1 CloudTalk Employees per Company Size Micro (0-49), Small (50-249), Medium (250-999), Large (1,000-4,999), Enterprise (5,000+) Any Company Size Any Company Size Features 24/7 Customer Support, Call Management/Monitoring,…

A stateful firewall is capable of tracking the state of active connections between devices on the network. It logs when devices are requesting data, sending data, or closing the connection. With this context, a stateful firewall knows whether incoming data is part of an established, legitimate session or if it’s an unsolicited request that needs to be blocked. This allows the firewall to make decisions about which traffic to allow or deny based on the flow of the communication, rather than just matching packets to predefined rules. This added intelligence gives businesses a more adaptive, dynamic defense against evolving threats…

Understanding the Keto Diet The keto diet focuses on high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate foods. By limiting carbs to less than 50 grams per day, the body eventually runs out of glucose, its primary source of energy, and starts burning fat for fuel. This process leads to weight loss, improved mental clarity, and even better blood sugar regulation.

Increased energy levels: Fat is a more sustainable fuel source.Reduced appetite: High-fat meals help you stay fuller for longer. Better blood sugar control:…
Over the past decade, we’ve visited Memphis 16 times to hang with our family and explore the city. When my sister Kate & brother-in-law Will moved here from Los Angeles, everyone was a little skeptical. “Isn’t that the deep south?” “What’s there besides Graceland,” people scoffed.” Grind City is totally misunderstood by outsiders, and even those that visit, often just go to Beale Street for live music and BBQ, then leave without a clue. It isn’t trendy or polished like Nashville; it’s refreshingly raw and real.Music runs deep in the city’s soul. It’s where entire genres were invented…rock n’ roll,…
The Wente Family. Photo Wente VineyardsThree sisters are key players in shaping the future of Wente Vineyards. Their family has been in the winemaking business for 140 years in Livermore, California. These ladies oversee the marketing, direct-to-consumer sales development, and new product strategy. Meeting Wente Vineyard’s Senior Ambassador Jordan Wente at OMNI Los Angeles’ vibrant NOÉ Restaurant & Bar, I learned this fifth-generation winegrower and brand manager worked in the vineyards with her sisters at an early age. “I learned how to drive a tractor at the age of 13,” said Jordan. She learned about grape varietals, harvest season and winemaking early in…
A stateful firewall keeps track of the state of network connections. A stateless firewall does not. Although the difference between a stateful vs stateless firewall is relatively simple, picking one may not be as straightforward. The state of a network connection refers to its status, whether a connection is being established, actively transferring data, or closing. Stateful firewalls keep track of this context, monitoring the entire flow of communication — where packets are coming from, where they are going, and what type of traffic is being relayed. Stateless firewalls ignore this context — they treat each packet as independent, and…
