Wake-on-Lan (WOL) for Windows 7 Made Easy!

This was such a nightmare to troubleshoot that I just had to document the process. In my scouring the web, I found many like me experiencing the same woes in setting up their WOL. My whole purpose for doing this was in the interest of saving power. I could put my computer to sleep and still be able to wake it up remotely so I can RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) into it to access my files while away. [EDIT: I recently found this great article on WoWLAN by Andrew vonNagy which details some of the benefits and downsides to using this technology, and provides a nice cost analysis for an organization case study. Check it out if you're interested in the Wireless WOL.]

There are numerous steps to the process, so I'm first going to outline all of them to give you a nice overview of how to get setup. Henceforth I will refer to the Wake-on-Lan capability as WOL. Here is a zipped file with shortcuts to all the Control Panels you'll need for your convenience. It also contains a script for the WOL utility linked at the end of this article. ;)

COUPLE QUICK NOTES BEFORE WE BEGIN
  • WOL ONLY works for Ethernet (i.e. hard-wired) connections, NOT Wireless!
  • You must use the MAC address of you Ethernet card.
  • Orange bullets relate to enabling WOL feature / services.
  • Green bullets relate to the actual routing of the packets to your computer.
  • Things you'll need to know about your computer: LAN IP, WAN IP, and MAC address. Real quick, hit Windows key + R and type 'cmd' then enter. In the console type 'ipconfig /all' and enter. Look for your "Ethernet card" and write down its IP (i.e. LAN IP) and MAC address. Then head to whatsmyip.org to get your WAN IP and write it down as well.
  • This guide is designed so you don't have to read everything, but only refer to the sections where you're stuck or having issues. The troubleshooting tools at the bottom can help you deduce what is wrong.
OUTLINE
  • Enable WOL in BIOS (from boot)
  • Enable WOL for your Ethernet Card (i.e. NIC)
  • Install Windows Feature "Simple TCPIP services"
  • Start Service "Simple TCP/IP Service" (enables ports 7 & 9)
  • Open UDP for Port 9 in Windows Firewall
  • Forward the port on your Router
  • Testing / Troubleshooting Tools
ENABLE WOL IN BIOS
Because of all the various motherboards out there, I'm not going to go into how to enable WOL in your BIOS, only know that you need to. However, if your BIOS, like mine, is severely limited in settings and no option is available to enable WOL, it might be safe to assume that it will work by default. My HP laptop has many of the BIOS settings locked for warranty purposes, but despite not having the option available, I am still able to use the feature.

ENABLE WOL FOR YOUR ETHERNET CARD (I.E. NIC)
Open "Device Manager" from the control panels or use the link in the zip. Expand "Network Adapters" and find your Ethernet Card. Right-click and open "Properties" then go to the "Advanced" tab. You should see something similar to the following. You want to enable "Wake on Magic Packet" or something similar.



INSTALL WINDOWS FEATURE "SIMPLE TCPIP SERVICES"
Open "Programs and Features" from the control panels or use the link in the zip. Click "Turn Windows features on or off" over on the sidebar. Scroll down and check "Simple TCPIP services" then click OK to install the feature.


START SERVICE "SIMPLE TCP/IP SERVICES"
Open "Services" from the "Administrative Tools" control panels or use the link in the zip. Scroll down to the service for which we just installed the feature. Make sure the service is started by clicking the link in the sidebar. Also ensure that the "Startup Type" is set to "Automatic" so that it will run with Windows.


OPEN UDP FOR PORT 9 IN WINDOWS FIREWALL
Open "Windows Firewall" from the control panels or use the link in the zip. Only UDP is needed, but you can if you with open the port for TCP as well. This is because UDP is a broadcast packet which can always be received by your NIC, whereas TCP requires the computer to be powered up. This can also be set to limit the IPs which can use the port and other security features to make your computer less vulnerable. These are the easiest settings.


FORWARD THE PORT ON YOUR ROUTER
You should see your routers' manual for the details, but here are the basics. Your router IP is almost always 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Enter your router IP into the address bar in your web browser (Chrome ftw :P) and login to the admin page. Once there, you will find a section called something like "Advanced." What you are looking for is the "Port Forwarding" section. Make sure you forward port 9 to your LAN IP that we got earlier.

TESTING / TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
  • wakeonlan.me - Can auto send you magic packets on a schedule though the schedule is messed up. I had to set the schedule time to EST while keeping the timezone set to my timezone. It's quirky, but it works. When you get the schedule set correctly is should tell you how many minutes before it sends the packets at the top. Alternately you can use another computer on your LAN to test it, but be sure to use your computers' WAN IP address to ensure it actually works from outside your LAN.
  • Wake-on-LAN Packet sniffer v1.1 (direct download) - This nifty little free tool was incredibly useful when paired with the above site to verify that the magic packets were actually getting through to my computer.
  • Wake-on-LAN Utility (direct download) - This is what you'll be using from your remote location to send the magic packet which will wake up your computer. There are other utilities like this available, but I like this one. It's simple. I will also include a batch script in a separate zip which will make your life easier. You'll only have to edit the script to put your computer MAC and WAN IP.
  • whatsmyip.org - The indispensable tool for ensuring that your port is open to the outside world. Will only show open TCP ports. Not UDP as is used for WOL.
READER SUGGESTIONS
  • Android app with excellent reviews called "Wol Wake on Lan Wan" by Brobble, available on Android Market. (thanks to Emad)

  4. Thanks for the post Matthew. Just a few quick notes. A lot of the steps above aren't actually required - the process of -

    1. Install Windows Feature "Simple TCPIP services"
    2. Start Service "Simple TCP/IP Service" (enables ports 7 & 9)
    3. Open UDP for Port 9 in Windows Firewall

    are only just a way of making a hole in the firewall so that the program you use to detect the magic packet will work. It's not actually required to wake the machine. You could just as easily disable the windows firewall while you do the wolsniffer testing and then once you have successfully received a packet, you can switch it back on again. In the real WOL system, the OS doesn't receive the packet (as the machine is switched off), only the network card does.

    One thing that you DO need to do it configure your BIOS so that the PCI-e is made live for WOL packets. You MUST have a network link light on your ethernet even when the PC is switched off. If there is no link, there is no way for the PC to receive the magic packet.

  5. Thanks so much for this tutorial, Matthew. I've got everything working and it's great. I am wondering, however, if there's an easier way to send a the wake command than having to open a CMD panel, and type in the entire MAC address of the target machine (that's a lot of numbers to type every time). I'd also prefer not to schedule sending magic packets on a regular basis (as is suggested with the wakeonlan.me prog above). Is it possible to configure a shortcut icon to send the wake command magic packet to the specified computer?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Found the answer here: http://liveinformant.com/pc/wake-remote-pc-setup-wol/

    To do this, simply take the command you used to Wake your PC and copy it into notepad.

    Example: C:\mc-wol.exe 01:2C:21:E3:D8:5F

    Now save the text document somewhere on your PC.

    Rename the file from .TXT to .BAT. You have now created a simple batch file to execute your Wake On LAN command so that you do not need to retype it each time, or remember your MAC address.

    (I save this file into my C: directory along with the mc-wol.exe program for convenience.)

    You can now double click this file to run the Wake On LAN request for your remote PC. To make it even more convenient I recommend creating a shortcut to this file on the taskbar of your PC.

    If you “right click” on the shortcut and select “Properties” you can use the “Change Icon” button to make the shortcut easy to identify as your WOL button.

  7. @marvy: You're absolutely right, I appreciate your pointing that out. Perhaps I'll update this later to trim the fat a bit more for future readers ;)
    @The Invisible: Yes sir, just as you suggested. I also included a batch file in the script pack I posted for download in the first part of the article. Cheers!

  10. Hi. I use WIndows 7-64 bit. I have strange problem.
    When I set network card settings:
    "Alow the computer to turn off the device to save power"
    Computer is Waking up, but after windows boot, there is no network conections and untill disable and enable network card there is NO conection.

    If I uncheck "Alow the computer to turn off the device to save power".I can't wake computer form internet, but if I wake with pressing key from keyboard, computer is boot normal and Network conection is working.

    I try 2 different network card and 2 different router, so the problem must be in Windows configuration.

    I hope someone can help me

  11. @OlsensHorse & @frogger: Perhaps you could chat with me and I could help you troubleshoot this.
    @Stefan: Well the sure-fire way would be to do a clean reinstall of Windows, which I'd recommend at least once a year anyway, but if you don't like that idea give me a chat and hopefully I can help you troubleshoot it if I have time.

  12. OlsensHorse: Right click on the program and select "Run as Administrator"

    Thank you for this guide! I have followed all of the steps, but I still can't get my WOL to work correctly. Using the sniffer, the computer detects the packets just fine. I have enabled the WOL feature in the BIOS, and on the device properties I made sure that the correct options were correct, yet the computer still doesn't wake up when the magic packet is sent. Looking on the computer itself, I can see the LED's on the network connection on, so I know the card gets power when off. Do you have any other suggestions of things to check?

  13. THANKS for this guide! Brilliant. One note if you are having trouble port forwarding to the internal broadcast address x.x.x.255, it worked on one of my routers but not another (even though it did let me add it). I used some info from here (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/WOL#Remote_Wake_On_LAN_via_Port_Forwarding). I added a port forward to an UNused IP on my LAN, then added a static ARP entry in router (using telnet) to link that UNused IP to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and it works from the Internet!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. A followup on my my problem: I got it working, but I had to update my network card drivers. I just let Windows do it for me (In the "driver" tab of the adapter window I clicked "Update Driver"). Once this was done, a few more options became available (such as "WakeOnLAN from PowerOff"). I made sure that was enabled, and now it works!

    Long story short: Update your drivers and try again if you seem to be stuck. My WOL initially would only work from hibernate, but not from shutdown, and now it works all of the time.

  15. hello there!
    one of the best tutorials matthew i must say. thank you! But there is always a but..! i cant make it work. I tried everything.
    Let me say first that i want to wake up my pc over the internet and to be more accurate from apps i have on iphone (iWake, Depicus Wol) over 3G cellular network. On lan everything is fine.
    i followed your guide step by step, i made a hostname at dyndns.org put everything in place correctly but nothing happened.

    question: in this http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ when i put port number 9 it says closed. is it right?
    question: with this sniffer i dont see my wake up calls but if i leave it open it sniffs other ones. is that right?

    thank you in advance... i havent got much sleep with this thing for nearly 3 days...

  16. Matthew,

    Just another short note to add my thanks for a clear, concise guide on how to implement WOL.

    After I got this quickly up and running on my PC decided to splash out £1.49 for an iPhone app, iNet WOL, which worked straight out of the box thanks to the changes already made.

    Now getting remote access to my shut down PC is never more than a click away.

    Top man!

  18. Brand new Zotac Nano VD01 SFF HTPC and these steps worked like a charm... BUT... specifically with this PC, the WOL work to power it up, but not completely. The system is fully alive, but the screen stays dark ("no signal" changes to a black screen). Only after pushing the mouse the screen snap awake. Unfortunately, it's not just the screen - as Teamviewer, RDP, or VNC all show the computer as off line until the mouse is moved or any key is pressed. My other two PCs work just fine.

  19. Well, i didn't got Port9 in UDP or rest in control panel. But I've a simple way to WOL at my own.
    Go Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections. here's icon Local area connection just right click and 'Disable' it then again 'Enable' it; Lan is awake. {Magic}

  20. In case anyone else can't fine a "Wake on LAN" entry in their network cards advanced settings, my Lenovo has an Intel 82552 10/100 network card, and there is no "Wake on LAN" entry. The correct entry to enable WOL for that card is "Enable PME".

  21. You are very kind to share your knowledge. This guide helped me completely!

    It will only add the following steps (these are basic but necessary if you use the Software Restriction Policies in Windows 7, like me)

    I. To edit the wake.bat file must:
    1. Change its extension to .Txt
    2. Open it with Notepad
    3. Make the necessary changes
    4. Save the changes
    5. Change its extension to .Bat

    II. To run mc-wol.exe must:
    1. Create a folder named WOL (can be any other name)
    2. Copy the files wake.bat (edited) and mc-wol.exe to the WOL folder
    3. Copy or move the WOL folder to C:\Program Files
    4. Double clicking the file wake.bat (edited)

    Just saying, thank you very much and merry christmas!

      For steps one - three here, you can also right click a BAT file and select "edit". Also Some times all one must do is double click it.

  23. Matthew,
    I am running Windows 7 on iMac.
    WOL works fine on OSX withing network. But I can only put it to sleep or shutdown from outside, not wake.
    Anyways, its not doing any of it on Windows 7. I am receiving packets from my iphone app on sniffer from within network.
    One thing I have noticed is that the ethernet light remains on in OSX but it turns off in Windows when the system goes to sleep mode.

  25. Wake up On lan works but don't over wan... can't explain why
    - udp port is forwarded port 9 to my internal ip, also a higher port vor expamle 4444 for just in case.
    - windows firewall ports are also open.
    - using (NopIp) for dns name.
    - for waking up my pc i can test it only for now over 3G with mobile app wake up wan/lan.

    i entered in the app the correct mac, dns name and port.... still not working,,


    any ideas?

  28. Thanks for this tutorial, it helped get me started but I think there is a bug in Windows.

    I've spent more hours than I care to relay on this (including tons of forums, buying a second computer to verify, chatting wit tech support) and still can't get all the kinks worked out. Long story short, wake on LAN doesn't work after a long delay. I can wake it up from sleep or off for short time (up to about an hour) after it enters said state but if it's sleeping or off for longer periods (ie overnight, or during the day while I'm at work) it just won't wake up.

    Here are a few pictures of my settings: https://picasaweb.google.com/117475535779472732458/Dell8300WOL?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCO-M_I3u8LOGCg

    To minimize possible router issues I connect my Comcast SB5120 cable modem directly to my machine (both are windows 7x64, one home one pro). I'm using the packet sniffer and able to get the magic packets I'm sending from my Android phone over 3G so I know my firewall settings are correct (I've turned off all antivirus as well). When it doesn't wake up after a long period the first thing I do is run the sniffer and it works so I know my IP didn't change.

    I've tried this on a Dell XPS 8300 and an Asus Essentio Desktop (Model: CM6850-01). I've used both the internal NICs and purchased an Intel PCIx NIC. All with the same outcome which leads me to two possible conclusions:

    1. My cable modem is going into a sleep mode (which I doubt cause I don't think it has that ability) which leave one culprit:
    2. Windows 7 setting/bug

    There has to be a green setting or bug or something that turns off the NIC after a few hours. It's really frustrating...is there a way to log incoming packets before it hits my NIC? Thinking a device with two RJ45 ends which just records all incoming traffic and a USB on the end to download the info...

    Any advice would be most appreciated...

  33. I can get this to work just fine over a 4g network or internet but... only for a few minutes after the machine is shut down. After that it can still be awakened through the LAN with a broadcast yet still not over the internet.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think there would be a problem after the computer has been asleep for some time. When the router gets the packet destined for port 9, mapped to IP 192.168.1.2 (for example), it will broadcast an ARP request on the LAN asking which computer has the IP 192.168.1.2. Because the computer which we want to wake is currently asleep, it can't respond to the ARP, and the router drops the WOL packet.

    It seems that it's working for people, so I may be misunderstanding something, or the routers may be holding on to the ARP caches for a long time. If people are having trouble, you could try to map port 9 to 192.168.1.255, which is the broadcast address (change the first three numbers to match your network). I will do some testing.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes.

      I was encountering the same problem, and investigated your hypothesis. If I put PC to sleep, then I reboot router, then it can't find ARP for PC! It's obvious on OpenWrt ARP tables.

      Still, I couldn't find yet a succesfull way to forward packets to a broadcast address...

      Would thank some tips ;)

    1. I had the same exact problem. The issue/solution lies with the router. For my TP-Link router, after a few minutes the binding between the MAC and the IP would be released so when an external WOL magic packet signal was sent to from outside the LAN, the router didnt know where to put it.
      The solution: my router has an "IP & MAC Binding" menu where I can manually bind my computer's IP to its MAC permenently

      Works like a charm!

  40. Great Post! Once again thanks for putting it together.

    I also have the issue same as the person mentioned above regarding the ability to wake for only the first few minutes of sleep. Before I go poking around on the motherboard jumpering in a standby voltage(without knowing whether necessary), I thought I would exhaust all else. I ran the sniffer and it sees nothing, no data at all. I am using the Android app that you recommended above.

    My question now is: (A) How did it wake up to begin with, if no magic packet (B) Should I troubleshoot data or the NIC?

    I would much rather know the problem is the NIC voltage before I take the tower apart.

  42. I've been working on WOL for the last few days and am able to wake my computer from sleep and off remotely (internet). However, it only works for about 2 minutes after going to sleep or being turned off as experienced by some. I also tried to forward the port to x.x.x.255 (broadcast IP), but my router wouldn't let me to do it (invalid address). Is my problem related to router settings or my NIC?

  43. Trying to get this to work, it works with Sleep state, but not with Soft-Off, my mainboard is an Asus P8H67 (Up-to-date), and it does not seem to have a WOL setting. Specs state though that it has WOL by PME ability, which confuses me. The computer is connected wired to the modem and uses the onboard LAN port.

    1. Oh, works now, I enabled Wake on PCI, Wake on PCIe and Wake on Ring in my BIOS, think it is the latter one that makes it work as I read it was normally used for Dial-up... Which is weird, as this is a modern mainboard. :o

      Delete
  44. It was mentioned that WOL only works for wired network connections, and not wireless. By saying this I think the poster just means that the resource you're trying to wake can't be wireless... since the WiFi card's radio wouldn't be turned on and broadcasting while in standby to be able to receive the WOL request. However you CAN wake a wired computer via just about any wireless device whether it be another windows machine, or any other Android or iOS device. Not to threaten anyone's intelligence here, I'm sure most know this. Just pointing it out in case!

  47. Mathew.

    Thanks for this extensive guide, it is exactly what I needed. My application was slightly different than yours. I have quite an extensive Windows local network sharing setup. This is based around Windows 7 being used as a NAS type system and some extra programs/utilities for DNLA/UPnP and iTunes for sharing my movies and music to IOS devices.

    Like you, I needed a system that would be as green as possible and be able to use minimum power when not in use and wake up without any fuss.

    Out of interest for such things, you may want to consider looking at the Dell Mini 9 or similar, as the data controller. This low powered computer is perfect for at least my requirements. It has very low power consumption when in full use and next to nothing when idle. It only has a 1.6GHz CPU and 8GB SSD with 1GB RAM. But for my use at least, it is well enough for my serving purposes. I find it better than most expensive dedicated NAS boxes, when used with a small Windows 7 footprint. The SSD is tiny, but is great with the small OS footprint and the few apps that I need it to run. Plus it has keyboard, trackpad and monitor, for when you need to do anything with it. It only has a 100Mbit lan interface, but this is fine for my serving purposes as my served content's bandwidth is less than the bus speed of 100Mbit LAN and USB for the drives.

    Again, thank you for taking the time and for unselfishly sharing your efforts and hard learned lessons.

    Dave.

  48. Thanks so much. Got it working eventually. A useful old mac app is WakeOnMac. Only catch was it sends the packet to UDP port 7 rather than 9 I was using with an android app.

    ReplyDelete
  49. A very useful resource, thanks.

    One comment I would make is that mc-wol doesn't appear to work from a remote computer over the internet - the client appears to try and send the packet to an external IP (triggers firewall log) but doesn't send it (confirmed by wol-sniffer on host). However this does work on a computer on the local network as long as either no IP address is specified (!) or the packet is addressed to the broadcast address i.e. nnn.nnn.nnn.255 where nnn.nnn.nnn is the subnet the host is on. Directly addressing the host IP didn't work either.

    In regards to waking a computer remotely over the internet I found a utility "WOL Magic packet sender" that works very nicely (search for Wolsetup15.msi).

    There are websites that will send the packets for you too and I've no problems using WOL apps on android either.

  50. "WOL ONLY works for Ethernet (i.e. hard-wired) connections, NOT Wireless!" OK, well this saved me about two hours of frustration then!

  51. In addition to turning on support for wake-on-lan in the BIOS, I had to make another BIOS change.

    In the BIOS, under "Power Management, I set "Deep Sleep Control" to disabled.

    That allowed the NIC to stay on and show a link light even when the PC was off.

  55. Hi

    First of all thanks for a great guide, unfortunately for me WOL from internet is not working what ever I try. It works perfectly from my local network, LAN i mean, but from internet it simply does not. I have done every single step exactly fromt he above guide, including port fw, and port fw is not something new to me I access lots of my NAS features from internet using port fw. I dont know for some bloody reason this is not working. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ASSIST.

  56. Hi,
    As Sammy,
    First of all thanks for a great guide.
    My problem is a little different. The system worked on two PCs I have oversees and that I control with teamviewer.
    Problem is that it worked as a breeze for 4-5 shots in a row on both remote PCs and dead after...
    No way to get it back. All procedures here suggested have been completed.
    If one of the remote PCs in awake and that I control it from the US, I allways can turn on the other one over thee local network. No problemo...
    Thanks for any light.
    Regards.

  60. I have a Dell OptiPlex 980 with the on-board Intel 82578DM NIC and was having problems waking it after I installed windows 7 x64. (WOL worked with windows 98 so I knew I had my bios set up correctly). I could also wake the system if I just pulled the plug and then plugged it back in or if I was in the BIOS then pressed the power button. It would not wake if I shut down the system normally.
    The thing that fixed it for me was installing new Intel NIC driver, I then had the option under power management of "Wake on Magic Packet from power off state" this setting was missing from the NIC driver that installed automatically. After enabling this setting WOL works great.

    ReplyDelete

  67. Thanks Matthew. As you suggested, I didn't need to configure a few things: BIOS, Ethernet Adapter or Firewall. I just had to install and run Simple TCPIP services.
    However, I didn't realise I had to download mc-wol.exe (http://www.matcode.com/wol.htm). Figured that out from above comments.
    I too had previously given up on this, but glad I re-visited this and found your page!
    Thanks again,

  70. Hi,
    Great guide! I followed all the steps, but unfortunately it was not enough to make it work.
    I have a dual boot Pc with windows seven and ubuntu 14.04.
    The WOL was working when I shutdown my pc from ubuntu but not from Windows seven. So, it confirm me the BIOS settings was OK.
    After trying lot of settings and searching solution on the Internet, I read a message about NVIDIA network card where someone recommend to update the network driver from nvidia website (the bad version I previously used was a suggested update from windows update :-/ ).
    Finally, I've downloaded the latest version from NVIDIA website and installed it...And now, it works!

    So, if finally it's not working for you, i suggest you to update your network card driver.

    I also read the comment from marvy that I don't need to do those steps, but I'm unsure of whether I should use wolSniffer, and other comments mentioned running command lines, and I'm not sure what those exactly will do to my system.

    There's gotta be some Microsoft page for this on Windows 7, I can't believe how much I've had to look for instructions on doing something that worked automatically on Windows XP.

    1. Mr Gubler says the industry has changed over the last 25 years because studios do less in-house than they used to - which creates more opportunities for small businesses to work on studio productions.
      "So much has changed," Mr Gubler says, noting how companies such as Netflix, Google and Amazon have created multiple new outlets for filmmakers through their streaming services.
      "All these new platforms and tax cuts; there's so much opportunity for our members now," he says.
      The secret to the success of his props business has been catering to every customer, he says.
      Many of his competitors, he adds, don't want to bother selling a few props to kids making YouTube videos.
      "I may spend 30 minutes on the phone talking them through the process and then they'll order from us, and say 'this is really cool'," he says.
      "And then who knows, they may come back, and their career keeps growing, and eventually they become an art director on a Netflix show and they remain a loyal customer."
      Sticking to this strategy has been integral to his success, he says.
      "Treating every customer as if they were the biggest Hollywood show - we try very hard to do that."

  145. Naparima Member of Parliament Rodney Charles says Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley needs to tell the nation what is the Government's plan of dealing with the threat of terrorist acts by returning terrorists.

    Charles said Rowley's inability to develop concrete policies to deal with home grown terrorism, including the issue of returning terrorists, has once again led to him resorting to spinning untruths and blaming the UNC for his Government's many failings on the crime and terrorism fronts.

    “Dr. Rowley again falsely blamed the Opposition for tarnishing our image abroad when we questioned in Parliament his government's shortcomings on crime and terrorism. Last Friday in San Fernando he said the Opposition in Parliament told the world that we are a nest of ISIS and we're creating Muslims extremists and jihadists.”

    Charles said while there have been several international news reports with respect to the threat to Trinidad and Tobago from returning terrorists, no member of the Opposition is quoted as a source.

    “The UK Express of 25th October 2017 warned that ISIS is training our jihadists to target, on their return, tourism hotspots and westerners in the region, and further reported that when quizzed over the risk of jihadis returning at a recent Caricom Counter-Terrorism Strategy conference in Port of Spain, Minister of National Security Edmund Dillon replied: "It is not a matter of 'if' but 'when'….”

    He said that same article also quoted former US Ambassador John Estrada as describing the islands as the terror group's "unthinking seedbed”, and telling the New York Times: "Per capita, Trinidad has the greatest number of foreign fighters from the Western Hemisphere who have joined the Islamic State."

    “The UK Sun warned that “fears are growing that Trinidad and Tobago could face a new wave of terror attacks from returning ISIS jihadis” and that we have “the highest rate of ISIS foreign recruitment in the Western hemisphere, while Jihad Watch reported that 'fears are growing that Western holidaymakers will be targeted in terror attacks by depraved terrorists who have travelled back to Trinidad and Tobago from the beaten caliphate.”

    Officials have said they discovered the note, which one official said was written in a foreign language, in the truck which Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov allegedly drove through a busy Manhattan cycle route on Tuesday afternoon.

    The 29-year-old reportedly drove 14 blocks before crashing into a school bus and jumping from the rented truck with two replica guns.

    US media reported the suspected shouted “Allahu Akbar” – Arabic for “God is greatest” after getting out of the vehicle.

    He was then shot in the abdomen by police and is expected to survive after undergoing surgery.

    Authorities speaking under anonymity have revealed that Saipov, who worked as a truck and Uber driver, was an Uzbekistan national who entered the US legally in 2010. He had lived in Tampa, Florida, and New Jersey.

    Family friend, Dilnoza Abdusamatova, told the Cincinnatti Enquirer that he was a “really calm” person who “wouldn’t go to parties or anything.”

    “He only used to come home and rest and leave and go back to work,” he said.

    Of the eight people killed in the attack, the majority are foreign nationals, with five belonging to the same group from the Argentinian city of Rosario.

    The friends were visiting New York as part of a 30th-anniversary school reunion when they were killed, the country’s foreign ministry said.

  147. Tribal fighting'
    BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We've had a second sighting of him now.
    "Tribal chiefs in the area that he went missing say that he has been sighted near an airstrip, that he's okay, that his health is fine, that he's requesting rescue.
    "It's always possible that they could have made a mistake, but I'm not aware of any other 57-year-old lanky British explorers that have gone missing in that area, so let's hope that it isn't a false glimmer of hope. But I think he's going to be okay."
    Our correspondent said Mr Allen was marooned in a remote part of Papua New Guinea that was only accessible by air, after the road bridges were cut due to tribal fighting.
    "Urgent efforts are now under way to try and airlift him out as soon as possible in case fighting erupts around him," he said.
    Mr Allen's older sister, Katie Pestille, had said it was "out of character" for him to miss his scheduled flight out of Papua New Guinea to Hong Kong.

  148. How hard can building a castle be? Surely you just pile stones one on top of another until you have something sufficiently defendable. The number of skilled laborers required to build a castle, however, was staggering. Stone masons are just the most obvious. To understand fully how a castle could be constructed, a team of experimental archaeologists has set out to make one using only techniques available at the time.Guedelon

    Castle is a faithful reconstruction of a castle started in 1998. The project has revealed much about castle building. The mortar used quickly makes the castle which would explain why castles used to be plastered and painted.

  149. According to some sources, Archimedes turned his great mind to creating terrible weapons when his home of Syracuse was besieged by the Romans. He is supposed to have created a claw capable of picking ships out of the water and sinking them. A series of mirrors is said to have focused the rays of the Sun on ships until they burst into flames.

    The sources are sketchy on how exactly the devices used worked. Archimedes was a master of levers, pulleys, and buoyancy. If anyone could sink a ship with a claw, it would have been him. Any ship approaching the harbor walls could have been grasped and dragged over. A BBC documentary showed that such a mechanism was feasible (if difficult to use) by building one.

    An MIT class used 127 1-square-foot mirrors to direct the Sun on a mockup of a Roman ship. After 10 minutes, the wood of the ship caught fire. It must be noted that this was with brilliant sunlight, a stationary target, and no sea water to dampen things. Could Archimedes have made it work? More experiments seem to be needed.

  150. 1. Technical SEO
    Technical SEO can seem a little daunting, but really, what we are talking about is ensuring that a search engine can read your content and explore your site. Much of this will be taken care of by the content management system you use, and tools like Screaming Frog and Deep Crawl can explore your website and highlight technical problems.

    The main areas to consider here are:

    crawl. Can a search engine explore your site?
    index. Is it clear which pages the search engine should index and return?
    mobile. Does your site adapt for mobile users?
    speed. Fast page load times are a crucial factor in keeping your visitors happy.
    tech. Are you using search engine-friendly tech or CMS for your website?
    hierarchy. How is your content structured on your website?
    If you are a small business using WordPress for your website, technical SEO should be something you can check off your list pretty quickly. If you have a large, bespoke website with millions of pages, then technical SEO becomes much more important.

    Much of what is considered “technical SEO” here is actually part of your website design and development. The trick is to ensure your developer understands the interplay between website design, development and SEO and how to build a blisteringly fast and mobile-optimized site.

  151. Good reviews can be a valuable tool for driving conversions. But what about bad reviews? It’s true that bad reviews can damage businesses — many potential customers will not purchase from a business with negative reviews.

    Some business owners have tried to control bad reviews, but there’s no simple solution. Businesses looking for a quick fix might seek out a pay-for-review site. Not only are these sites illegal, but using them might end up in a penalty from Google and other sites.

    Incentivizing reviews can be just as damaging. It’s a violation of Yelp and Google’s terms of service. “Astroturfing,” or creating fake positive reviews for reputation management, is a big taboo in the digital space, and it can lead to penalties from Google.

    So, what’s a business to do if they’re stuck with bad reviews? The simple answer is to build a solid reputation. Focus on enhanced customer service, set the right expectations and listen to customer feedback.

    You can also score your customer service internally. Net Promoter Score provides a structured way to solicit and analyze customer feedback, giving you a single customer satisfaction metric. Continue to keep an eye on this metric. You can see what is helping (or hurting) your online reviews and adjust your strategies from there.

    GetFiveStars is an invaluable tool for improving your reputation on certain sites. It uses your Net Promoter Score in the decision tree; customers/clients interact with differently based on their satisfaction level. The service also lets you automate the outreach for feedback. You can focus on getting legitimate, quality reviews and better understand what’s contributing to your online reputation.

    Online reviews are embedded into modern search engines. Reputation building doesn’t happen overnight. You must take a proactive approach and use reviews to your advantage. You can’t hide bad reviews, but good reviews can be an integral part of your local search strategy. Online reviews are part of your business, for better or worse. It’s up to you to make the most of them.

  152. Of the many conspiracies of the 21st century, one of the most intriguing is the apparent systematic killing of holistic or alternative doctors. The suspected perpetrator?

    Rather ambiguously, Big Pharma.There are certainly some gray areas of the pharmaceutical industry, mainly revolving around the cost of manufacturing against the cost to the patient. However, while drug companies are arguably guilty of making a killing in terms of mass profit, it is surely a stretch to think that they are literally killing off alternative competition, right?

    When some of these cases are examined (and there are over 70 such claims and counting), many of the deceased are not (outwardly at least) holistic doctors and their deaths are not particularly suspicious. Nevertheless, they are all lumped into this conspiracy.Others may not go as far as to prove a conspiracy of such magnitude exists, but they are perhaps worth looking at a little more closely.

    The vast majority of these deaths occurred during the summer and fall of 2015. Although they are most likely coincidence and nothing more, they are a little spine-tingling to say the least. Enjoy!

  153. You look over your shoulder and see that the coast is clear. After a couple attempts, your partner eases the seat back. You move close. Your lips are almost touching. Then something hits the windshield. “What’s that?” you ask. You exit the driver’s side door and begin investigating. Within seconds, you’re dead. A hook, a knife, or an axe is sticking out of your chest. Your date screams and scrambles out of the car, but it’s already too late.

    The fear of an unknown intruder ruining your chances of getting lucky is so prevalent in American folklore that it even has a catchy name—“The Hook.” At its core, “The Hook” combines several tropes into one ball of fear. It combines sex with death. It touches on our collective fears concerning intimacy and insanity. It also reaffirms what H.P. Lovecraft stated so many years ago in his essay “The Supernatural Horror in Literature”—that our greatest fear is the fear of the unknown, whether that be the future, strangers, or the dark.

    While it can be easy to pass “The Hook” legend off as just another precautionary warning about the dangers of premarital sex, there’s always something true behind urban legends. In this case, many murderers and serial killers have targeted couples parked in so-called “lovers’ lanes” over the years.

  154. “Alfie” Hinds was a British criminal and escape artist who, while serving a 12 year prison sentence for robbery, successfully broke out of three high-security prisons. Despite the dismissal of thirteen of his appeals to higher courts, he was eventually able to gain a pardon using his knowledge of the British legal system. After being sentenced to 12 years in prison for a jewelry robbery, Hinds escaped from Nottingham prison by sneaking through the locked doors and over a 20-foot prison wall for which he became known in the press as “Houdini” Hinds.

    After 6 months he was found and arrested. After his arrest, Hinds brought a lawsuit against authorities charging the prison commissioners with illegal arrest and successfully used the incident as a means to plan his next escape by having a padlock smuggled in to him while at the Law Courts. Two guards escorted him to the toilet, but when they removed his handcuffs Alfie bundled the men into the cubicle and snapped the padlock onto screw eyes that his accomplices had earlier fixed to the door. He escaped into the crowd on Fleet Street but was captured at an airport five hours later. Hinds would make his third escape from Chelmsford Prison less than a year later.

    While eluding Scotland Yard, Hinds continued to plead his innocence sending memorandums to British MPs and granting interviews and taped recordings to the press. He would continue to appeal his arrest and, following a technicality in which prison escapes are not listed as misdemeanours within British law, his final appeal before the House of Lords in 1960 was denied after a three-hour argument by Hinds before his return to serve 6 years in Parkhurst Prison. Pictured above is Nottingham Prison – the first prison that Hinds escaped from.

  155. The evidence eventually led to the bombing of several government buildings in Hungary, killing Nazi officials who were instrumental in the railway deportations of Jews to Auschwitz. The deportations halted, saving up to 120,000 Hungarian Jews. Wetzler escaped with a fellow Jew named Rudolf Vrba. With the help of the camp underground, at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 7, 1944 — the eve of Passover — the two men climbed inside a hollowed-out hiding place in a wood pile that was being stored to build the “Mexico” section for the new arrivals. It was outside Birkenau’s barbed-wire inner perimeter, but inside an external perimeter the guards kept erected during the day. The other prisoners placed boards around the hollowed-out area to hide the men, then sprinkled the area with pungent Russian tobacco soaked in gasoline to fool the guards’ dogs. The two remained in hiding for 4 nights – to avoid recapture.

    On April 10, wearing Dutch suits, overcoats, and boots they had taken from the camp, they made their way south, walking parallel to the So?a river, heading for the Polish border with Slovakia 80 miles (133 km.) away, guiding themselves using a page from a child’s atlas that Vrba had found in the warehouse. You can read their report on Auschwitz here

    North Korea brands Trump's US security report 'criminal'

    The US has warned North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (fourth from left) to end his weapons testing
    North Korea has branded a US security document citing the possible use of "overwhelming force" against Pyongyang as "criminal", state media report.

    Its foreign ministry accused President Donald Trump of seeking "the total subordination of the world" with his new US national security strategy.

    Mr Trump said on Monday that Washington had to deal with the challenge posed by Pyongyang's weapons programmes.

    It comes as the UN is due to vote on tougher sanctions against North Korea.

    A spokesman for the North Korean foreign ministry said the US national security strategy was "nothing but the proclamation of aggression", state news agency KCNA reports.

    He accused the US of attempting to "stifle our country and turn the entire Korean peninsula into an outpost for seeking that hegemony".

    North Korea crisis in 300 words
    On Monday, Mr Trump outlined the new US strategy, criticising North Korea for its repeated nuclear missile tests despite condemnation from both the US and the UN.

    Last month, the US president also redesignated North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.

    Repatriation
    Tensions rose this year over North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes, which it pursues in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions.

    The Trump administration has said it is seeking a diplomatic solution and has proposed new, tougher sanctions against the North.

    Measures outlined include the banning of up to 90% of the nation's oil supply and the repatriation of all North Korean nationals working abroad within 12 months.

    In September, Mr Trump also proposed a freeze on leader Kim Jong-un's assets.

    The UN Security Council will vote later on whether to impose the tougher sanctions in a resolution that will hinge on support from China and Russia.

    Michael Kirby, who led a UN inquiry into human rights abuses in North Korea, told Reuters news agency that the sanctions would have a "very big impact on the ordinary population".

    North Korea is already subject to a raft of sanctions from the US, the UN and the EU.

    Washington has been imposing sanctions on Pyongyang since 2008, freezing the assets of individuals and companies linked to its nuclear programme and banning the exports of goods and services to the country.
