PureVPN is a high quality Virtual Private Network (VPN) provider. This week's deal brings you a lifetime subscription to PureVPN for $79 which is quite the good deal considering that you pay $54 currently for a two year subscription to PureVPN.
The service ticks all the right boxes. It allows you to connect up to five devices at once, and offers servers in more than 140 different continents.
PureVPN offers its own software and apps, but supports security protocols such as OpenVPN or PPTP as well.
The company has a strict no-logging policy, does not restrict data transfers or server switches. Other features of interest include IP leak protection, an Internet kill switch, and support for P2P/Filesharing on select servers.

Detailed Description
Make sure your personal data and Internet activity are never exposed with the extremely reliable VPN trusted by over a million users. PureVPN’s self-managed VPN network has a wider reach (550+ servers nodes in 141 countries) and allows more simultaneous device connections (five) than pretty much any other VPN out there. "Bottom line: Solid performer giving nice mix of advanced and newbie features. Just enough features to stand out from the rest of the VPN service crowd." PC Mag

A new open-access book came across my social media feed a couple of months ago, The Arclight Guidebook to Media History and the Digital Humanities. The book itself is a great resource for those looking to get started with digital humanities approaches to doing media studies. What I didn’t realize was that the book is a part of a larger project, which has produced a cool tool, the Arclight app.
The app (and larger project) was developed as a collaboration between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Concordia University (Canada). From the website’s description of the tool:
The Arclight app will analyze over two million pages of public domain publications derived from two repositories: the Media History Digital Library (MHDL) and the Library of Congress Chronicling America National Newspaper Program. Whereas the MHDL’s search platform Lantern allows users to run keyword searches within the MHDL’s corpus, Arclight reads more broadly for how entities trend across the corpus in comparison to one other.
Basically, it’s Big Data meets Media History. What makes this particular project interesting is that it targets publications specifically related to media. They have a really great Getting Started guide, but if you have ever used Google N-Gram, then you can figure out how to use this tool as well, although it is a much more refined and useful tool.
What I particularly like about this project is that they are publishing academically useful complimentary materials, such as the book, but also through the section they have called Arguments. They are addressing using the tool for teaching, as well as what the tool shouldn’t be used for. They have also made the code available for reuse on GitHub.
How can you see using this tool in your teaching or research?
