My guy they don't touch that inner shaft in gear anyhow. That thing can only be done after cooling over night in a very neat environment by a professional mechanic with transmission oil changed as well. Just go and buy a new transmission. But before then, scan the car and share codes here

I recently changed the inner shaft of my Camry 08 and few days after when I drove for long hours, I noticed it gear started malfunctioning, like a loud sound when I shift gear from Park to Reverse and a sudden slowness as if I am matching the break and a sudden movement of the car. It can even move for a while maintaining same gear level. Please help me. How can I get solution. I took it to a gear rewire who scanned and said he could fix it. I got there today to pick the car but the issue started immediately I switched on the AC

My pleasure!

1. Udemy has some good courses for Comptia. Some are free and others aren't. Here's one for A+ that has a very good review and currently discounted https://www.udemy.com/course/comptia-220-1001-exam/

You can also purchase A+ study guide from Amazon.
I'll encourage you to go through the resource links on this thread before purchasing a guide, just incase its there. I did a quick scan through but didnt find A+ guide but you can double check.


Some cybersec resources to learn from on the side while building your IT knowledge:

2. Alison courses is also another website for free courses. (currently they have a full Security+ training that will offer you a certificate of course completion) https://alison.com/courses/comptia-security-exam-syo-501/content

3. Also you can enroll for this free edx basic security fundamentals course https://www.edx.org/course/cyber-security-basics-a-hands-on-approach

4. Since you're just starting and not to rush through the process, you can subsequently take the training offered by ICSI for Network Security Specialist. I'm only bringing it to your attention because it's free at this time due to Covid, all you need to do is enroll for the course before end of June, and you can take the course later. https://www.icsi.co.uk/courses/icsi-cnss-certified-network-security-specialist-covid-19

5. Finally, reposting a link that the op posted earlier. Very resourcesful github space that you can go through much later.
https://github.com/wtsxDev/Penetration-Testing/blob/master/README.md?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app#books

Oh and you can also request directly from Comptia some of their free practice tests for most of their certifications like A+, Network+ . https://www.comptia.org/training/resources/practice-tests

I know I said alot again, lipsrsealed might seem like information overload (that's not intended) but I hope you and anyone seeking similar guidance find the information/resources useful. Take it one step at a time.

Cheers!
Thanks, thanks & thanks � I must commend you for always being detailed. I have actually started the Comptia Security + on LinkedIn Learning. My organization purchased that for us to learn any course on it. I think I am enjoying it and getting all the concepts so far. Please I would want to always keep you posted as I move on.

VickyRotex:
Hi Ashiwajew, nice to e-meet you too.

Cool! If you dont have any IT background then I encourage you begin by learning and understanding system and network configuration. Comptia A+ and Network+ is really good for this. That way you can gain practical experience in fields like system and network admin, security admin, network engineering etc.

Major domains to familiarize with are not limited to this: security analysis, security design and engineering, Network secops, vulnerability management, threat and risk assessment, risk management etc.

Note that in each of these domains there are more granular specialization for example someone could specialize in mobile security under security design, while others are web/application, some infrastructure and some cloud computing etc. So when applying for jobs they may say they're seeking a "security architect" that will be specific to an area.
That's why understanding the key concept across these domains are very important to help specialize eventually.

Before specializing there are couple of certifications that can also help as a baseline (i.e., applicable to most areas of Security) such as SSCP, CEH, TOGAF. GISF is also another good one.

Most people (especially fresh off from school) will often begin their cyber journey with Operations security (i.e., SOC - Security Operations center which involves incidence response, monitoring, threat hunting) I'm sure you've heard term "blue, red, and purple team" alot, these are mostly on the operations side of things.
Having some of these baseline knowledge will not only open you up to several opportunities, but also help you to decide on what part of cyber you enjoy or find interesting.

PS: this thread is a very good place to start. There are lots of materials/Google folders with well documented information for these domains as well as several certifications you can write while climbing up the ladder.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers!
Many thanks for this. You have actually said a lot.
Then I should start with Comptia A+ Please could you recommend site to learn these courses

VickyRotex:
Apologies, I interpreted "advice me on next steps to take" to also mean the ICSI exam.

I'm already in the field. Learning and growing like you all. The question about advice is a bit generic for me, but I'll try to answer. Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

It all depends on your prospects. what area of cyber you want to venture in or specialize in etc. I advice people (especially people starting without a tech background) to try to learn or touch on the major domains before specializing, that way it's much easier to connect the dots.
However if you have an IT background, you may already know where exactly you want to specialize in cybersec, but I still encourage being a generalist across some domains and specializing in what you're comfortable with or prefer.

Then, take as much courses as you can. Thanks to alot of free resources online. You dont need to write exams for all, because at the end of the day the knowledge is what matters and cannot be taken away from you. For sure certifications will open some doors for you (which I encourage), but do not feel restricted or discouraged about enrolling for a course because you can't take the exam. Learn as much as you can. Thanks to the op and other members on this thread, there are lots of resources that you can access on this thread for free.

Attend job fairs and connect with people in the field. I cant outstretch the latter. Irrespective of your knowledge, "people you know" will sometimes (and maybe most times) play a vital role in how you get through the door, and how you move up the ladder.

Lastly, most people like to think that Cybersecurity is 100% tech related, but its not and anyone can feel free to correct me.
It entails management as well, especially if you want to grow in the career, so as you work on your tech knowledge, also add in some managerial skills/knowledge to balance it.

I'll stop here for now and take any questions, before this becomes a diary. lol

We can't chat on WhatsApp, but feel free to email me if you have any questions. Cheers!
Hello Vicky, nice to e-meet you. I also recently developed interest in this field and working towards a career change. Please what are the major domains you talked about that one should start with?

COPR2020:
Seems your statement of result is 2012, right? Some schools does convocation/release of certificate a year after completion of study. If your statement of result is 2012, then upload your SOR instead of the certificate. If you have just certificate, just do a LOE to explain the dates, you will be fine
I am still in the pool and I am not using SOR at all, I am using my certificate and it bears 2013 but WES evaluation report says 2012 and I filled my profile based on 2012 but I just edited my profile now to 2013 since that is what is on the certificate. Is this okay?

This is really depending on how you adapt to new ideas/change. Many dread CBT for the listening part, but I can tell you there is not much typing to be done during the listening test as it is mainly section 1 and 4 that requires typing mostly. Other sections are usually MCQs that just require clicking, and other part just dragging answers. That said, you are still given pencil and paper for your use if you think it is necessary. In my view, I will suggest you use the pencil to write your answers to section 4 only because that part of the recording is usually fast and a bit tricky in most cases. So writing on paper first and transferring to the screen would allow you follow the conversation to a great extent.

On the reading part, CBT is more convenient in my view as you don't need to be turning pages of papers back and forth. The question is beside the passage. And you can use copy and paste from the question to the answer where necessary. Running your eyes through the screen would also be faster than doing same on paper I believe. Scheming things.

For writing, this is the game changer for me in IELTS CBT. Some of the reasons for this include: the system shows you the number of words you have written, you can easily cut, backspace or realign your writing without the burden of using eraser like in the PBT therefore saving you time. Typing is also much faster than writing manually which in turn will give you more time to review your work for any possible error.

The speaking test is the same for CBT and PBT. An interview session with an examiner.

Overall, the beauty of CBT for me is the 7 days turnaround time for result to be released. The 13 days waiting for PBT is hell given the high stake of the test. You don't want to keep playing the recording of the listening test in your head for 13 days and wondering if you got a spelling right or if you wrote plural when it was supposed to be singular. But in all, you still have to ask yourself if you are ready to adapt to change and test the waters of CBT.

PS: Passing IELTS is first a thing of the mind. Prepare well, understand the tricks, especially in writing and speaking; relax and don't be anxious in the test hall. You will not be caught in the web of taking the test more than once. Cheers.
Thanks for the detailed feedback

HealthRe: My Friend Has Chronic Kidney Disease by ashiwajew: 5:21am On Mar 19, 2020
adaperry25:
My friend was diagnosed of Chronic kidney disease and he's been dialyzed thrice. The second dialysis results was good because the urea and creatinine level was slightly higher but when the third one was done..The urea and creatinine level shot up incredibly. My take was the third one wasn't properly done because he said it took hours before they could get his veins so they opted for his hands instead of thighs.
My question is : Are there alternatives like herbal remedies or drugs that he can take to flush out and reduce the urea and creatinine level at a fair cost? He has spent over 400k and is financially handicapped. The doctor recommended another session of 6 dialysis with a neck line therapy which will cost over 500k.

Doctors.. Health experts please recommendations
Lalasticlala fp please
This is so unfortunate, my Dad recently had a similar experience but God came through when we met someone who told us about one Forever Living Aloevera product, I never believed in it initially but since he started using it, his Creatinine and Urea levels have dropped drastically without dialysis.
