Grandfather clock bulb boy1/30/2024 Your kid can change the look of this clock easily because the display has five different color options and three brightness settings that they can switch up any time they want. Luckily, this Uplayteck alarm clock can help.

Additionally, the clock can serve as a night light, sound machine, and nap timer. There are six light color options to choose from, three brightness levels, and an optional audible alarm clock. These times and settings are parent-controlled so you can determine what works best for your family. It also has a colorful light feature that shines one color when it’s okay for the kid to get out of bed and play quietly in their room and turns to a different color to signal it’s okay to leave their room. It has a digital display that shows the time, a sun and a moon icon to help your little one determine if it’s day or night on a dark morning or bright evening, and a happy face that falls asleep and wakes up at preset times to encourage your child to do the same. Here are the best alarm clocks for kids to help make their morning wakeup better.Īvailable in a variety of colors, this clock is just downright adorable. ![]() A family physician on our Review Board also reviewed this article for medical accuracy and integrity around age-appropriate alarm clocks and the best way to evaluate them.

Dungeon boss game performance slow1/30/2024 ![]() But why I never experienced situation under 60fps in SL, with addons, oc off, cluttered pc, unoptimized settings, but now with everything that can help performance on, I have worse in the exact same zones from SL? I know that I will have better fps in like alterac valley vs new zones. I get your point fully, but I’m just disappointed. Should this game really require high end CPU’s to hold 60 fps on medium? Looking at forums a lot of people have severe problems. I plan to upgrade CPU in the first Q of 2023, but still I wasn’t expecting game to be unplayable in battleground, and I fear how raids are going to look like.ītw my pals have processors from 2021 Q4, high range intel and 2nd friend has 2021 Q3 high range AMD and it’s still disappointing. I just wonder if it really should be so radical.Īlso I play on “5” settings, but only putting everything at 1 gives me 60 fps in valdrakken, and I mean literally everything. It’s not like my performance in game decreased by 10%, it did by like 40%. I know my CPU is not “suited” for the game beause of 1 thread, but something went bad. The problem is, I right now in Oribos with only npcs and few players, I have less fps than I had before prepatch, when it was packed with people. ![]() Maybe that would be a clue to solving a problem, it seems that game had big changes introduced. I was interested how Linux community is doing and it turned out that they even have problems with launching the game, a friend of mine since WOD played on linux, and he just updated the game, changed nothing - now some stuff changed that he can’t even launch it. My latency / ping is fine - game in that matter is really responsive. Temps are normal, GPU usage seems weirdly low (only in WoW / only since DF patch). I did the stuff with Render command set to 0, did not helped. Maximum performance in GeForce settings is on / same with my PC’s windows power plan. I changed system to win 11 with updates / now I run win 10 with updates. That is: updated drivers / used new drivers. In advance, I did all the things I could. When I had some kind of quest, where mobs were spawning, each time when they did, it stuttered. I have stutters (low fps spike and then back to normal) when new objects load in, be it furniture, trees or NPC’s/players. My observation is that WOW struggles to use what PC has to offer, and it has some kind of problem with textures and models. ![]() I even overclocked my CPU and RAM (by 10-15%).Īfter DF patch dropped, on way lower settings than before, with less addons (now I have all turned off), with cleaner PC install and less bloatware, with overclocked RAM and CPU, with fans tuned to 100% speed (unlike before), with programs like discord or browsers turned off - my performance in Dragonflight is worse than ever before - 5m dungeon on all the mentioned above is worse than intensive 25m fight in Shadowlands. I made this post to ask you guys, if you had something similar happening, most of the topics highlight the stutters not overall performance in the game I love what Dragonflight has to offer, but it literally drains my fun out of the game. I understand that minimum and required specs went up, but come on, game looks worse with these lower settings and runs way worse. But in the peak of SL i never had less than 85fps in Oribos (once again, on way higher settings than now, with programs in the background, without overclocking) In Valdrakken it never goes beyond 60fps, stays at 45-50 and I have massive stutters, if raid looked like this (and I presume it will) it would be literally unplayable (with stutters it’s a slide show sometimes). I get this on 5/6 settings, which is way lower than I had before. Now with Dragonflight in, my PC struggles to have 50-55 fps in a dungeon during and out of fights, and when it stutters of course it goes below that amount, but still it’s about overall performance, so 50-55 is “stable” fps I get in a dungeon. Windows 10, everything updated.īefore Dragonflight I could go on a Sepulcher raid or Castle Nathria and even with 25M and high (7/8 out of 10 graphical settings) with max draw distance, max clutter I had more than 60fps, it NEVER went down under that. My specs: i7-6700k / 16GB high frequency RAM / GTX 1660ti and wow is installed on NVME samsung EVO SSD, which is healthy. ![]() This thread is NOT about stutters - they are a separate issue with shaders / texture loading as it seems (but they still exist and annoy me).

Freecad alternative1/30/2024 The main method of using OpenSCAD would be to write the 3D object description as a text file, and then the program can render it immediately for the user so that he/she can rapidly modify the design according to their needs. OpenSCAD is a more focused 3D CAD modeler than a fully-featured suite of animation tools and utilities like the other programs in this list. While not a very beautiful and modern option for a user interface, TK is quite practical and stable, so users can expect few changes to land on their workflow in the future.Ĭheck BRL-CAD or download it for free from its official website. Written in C/C++ and uses TK for its user interface. It went fully free and open source in 2004.īRL-CAD is a cross-platform open source CAD program that works on Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris and other BSD systems. It started as a needed tool for the US Army Ballistic Research Laboratory, and hence, its initial usage was for military equipment design but later on became more general-purposed. Unlike any software in this list, BRL-CAD development started around 36 years ago (In 1979) Making it the oldest CAD program in the world. More about QCAD can be learned from its official online website. It is also noteworthy that they are bundling a “Professional” version of the software with a 15 day trial together with the open source version as a marketing method to probably boost sales, however, users wishing to just use the open source version can do so without downloading or taking further actions. One can also notice that they provide special versions which contain Wayland compositors support (For those who are not wishing to use Xorg display server on Linux) and you can download them rather than the ordinary versions if you use Wayland. And supports AutoCAD formats (DXF & DWG) across all its 60 CAD manipulation tools. It is also written in Qt and also works on Windows, macOS and Linux. The main selling point of QCAD is its focus on 2D prototyping rather than provide 3D support (Like in LibreCAD). However, they have reached deep difference in the cores and are no longer that much alike. QCAD was actually the main software from which LibreCAD was forked Which is why you may notice that their user interfaces are quite similar to each other. and you can also check some FreeCAD tutorials from its official documentation page. You can learn more about the software from FreeCAD online website. And FreeCAD can also be ran as a command line program rather than in GUI mode. The software supports exporting modeled objects to other renderers (Povray & LuxRender) so one can model the object in FreeCAD and the render it in 3D using another software.Īs for the user interface, it is written in the Qt platform – hence making it cross-platform – and quite straightforward to work with, as most tools are divided into “workbenches” (Groups) so that you can remember their position easily. Its import/export filters do support a long range of formats such as STEP, OBJ, STL, DXF, SVG, DAE and much more. ![]() More than that it has a nice modular system which enables you to write plugins in Python, C++ or as a Macro to automate complex tasks or ease them. Its modeling kernel is based on the open CASCADE Technology and hence it enjoys the ability to model complex shapes and concepts. ![]() FreeCAD is a parametric modeler software that works on Windows, macOS and Linux. FreeCADĪnother mainstream software that comes to mind when talking about open source CAD programs is FreeCAD. You may proceed to download LibreCAD from its official website or SourceForge page. It offers a C++ plugin system too for those who which to expand the core functionality with their own code snippets. LibreCAD is compatible with AutoCAD’s formats, as it can read DWG/DXF formats and write in DXF, SVG, PDF and more. ![]() It is also more organized and cleaner than that of FreeCAD, but each one of them has its strengths and weaknesses. LibreCAD isn’t bloated too much in features as FreeCAD, however, its main strength point is the similar interface to AutoCAD Hence, users switching from AutoCAD to LibreCAD shouldn’t have much difficulties in doing so due to the familiar UI. Works on Windows, macOS and Linux systems and its user interface is also written in Qt framework. The most famous and mainstream open source CAD program ( 15,000 downloads this week!), which is also an absolutely free AutoCAD alternative.
Errand into the wilderness meaning1/30/2024 ![]() In "Nature and the National Ego," Miller again uses the trope of the wilderness and connects it to Emerson and American identity writ large. In fact, Winthrop's constitutional ideas were based upon the idea of men coming together and forming an earthly covenant. In a lot of ways this essay forms the ideological core of the book, since Miller will discuss in the later essays many of the ways in which the covenant was absolutely essential in understanding Puritan civil society, church, and state. Man can always know where God is and what he intends" (63). "He has become a God chained - by His own consent, it is true, but nevertheless a God restricted and circumscribed - a God who can be counted upon, a God who can be lived with. Now when you professed a belief in God, you and He entered into a covenant - he turned into a God who was capable of making and keeping a promise. No longer, according to these theologians, did you have to believe in God despite his mercurial nature as you used to. Some of the first important Puritan theologians - including Cotton, Hooker, Shepard, and Bulkley - began to constitute a new school that broke from Calvinism in one important way: the incorporation of covenantal theology. Theology had better learn to justify the ways of God to man or else risk losing some of its influence. By 1650, however, the unscientific worldview that would allow this kind of God had, in some respects, given away. The absolute and capricious power of God could still accept or reject human souls according to His whim. The Scientific Revolution was still far off, and the abject nature of human beings was still de rigueur. In 1550, strict Calvinism was still acceptable. It covers the shift from strict fundamentalist Calvinism to covenantal theology that took place sometime within the early part of the seventeenth century. "The Marrow of Puritan Divinity" is one of the longest, and best, essays in the collection. These essays are how the Puritans fashioned a sense of meaning, and eventually, in time, American identity, out of those very raw ingredients whose presence still make themselves felt in American life - Calvinist theology, a sense of community, and profound intolerance. After the English Civil War had failed to turn the heads of the world to their glorious City on a Hill, they were left with a vast wilderness. In other words, they saw themselves very much performing an errand in the first sense. They were just Englishmen and Englishwomen whose task was to see to it that the "errand" of the Reformation could be enacted on Earth. The first generation of Puritans to set foot on North American soil never thought of themselves as Americans. In the title essay, Miller notes the dual meaning of the word "errand." It can mean a task done by an inferior for a superior, or it can refer to the task alone, the very action itself. The book's title comes from one Samuel Danforth, whose sermon "A Brief Recognition of New England's Errand into the Wilderness" sets the existential, searching tone whose tenor can be found in each one of these essays. There are ten essays, all of which are full of the enticing, meaty history of ideas, so I won't be able to cover all the ground of the book here, though I would like to give a short précis of some of those essays which I thought to be the most impressive. While the main focus here is Puritanism, Miller does occasionally do a bit of wandering some of the latter essays explore Emerson and the formation of American nationalist ideology. And what a fascinating world he uncovers. ![]() Miller's fascinating book opens up Puritan history for those interested in intellectual history - a history of ideas, theology, and polity. The history we know of the Puritans is a history of events - things they did, their names, their travels. We think of their biggest accomplishment as managing to survive disease and pestilence for so long, despite their backward ways. The word conjures up images of earnest, hard-working folk bedecked in golden buckles and ruffles eager to spread their moral superiority to anyone within earshot. Perry Miller's "Errand Into the Wilderness" more than any other book I've read in a long time makes you realize sometimes how little education our educational institutions actually provide. Free drupal hosting uk1/30/2024 ![]() The company's servers are built on Google Cloud which accounts for its super fast network, kept secure by Let’s Encrypt SSL. This isn’t the only thing that impressed us. SiteGround’s superiority comes from its commitment to speed, uptime and support, making it the fastest host in the UK. If you’re on a tight budget, we would recommend choosing another host from the list SiteGround isn’t the cheapest option (despite it being good value for money in our opinion). If you think you’ll need longer than 30 days to test the web host, you might want to opt for a host that offers a longer money-back guarantee period. SiteGround supports payments via card only. Read our full Hostinger review Best for fast hosting in the UK Overall, we are continually impressed by Hostinger’s wide range of features, data centre server location options and low starting prices. Hostinger scored 0.607 seconds, which means our website is likely to pop up onto the screen more quickly, keeping visitors happy. We also measure our test website’s load speeds (while hosted on Hostinger) with help from GTmetrix, which accesses a test page and reports how long its main content takes to load. Plans start from £2.59 ($1.99) a month over four years, and have some welcome features including a free SSL certificate, as well as easy WordPress installation and management. We experienced lightning fast website speed with low latency, not to mention reliability of the servers.We used Hostinger's shared hosting (hosting that allows multiple websites to utilise a single server). It’s no surprise that when we looked into the host further, we found that they boast of a 99.9% uptime guarantee. However, Hostinger could improve things somewhat by having telephone support. In our test, we were impressed by how our site performed overall including the speed when we opted to host our site using its UK server.ĭuring our testing period, we didn't experience uptime issues and were able to contact customer support, to which we received a rapid response to our query regarding its website builder included in the package we purchased. ![]() Hostinger stands out because of its ability to cater for multiple use cases including personal websites and the needs of small businesses. ❌ You're after a free trial. Although Hostinger has a 30-day money-back guarantee covering its hosting plans and some other products, there’s no free trial, therefore, if you’re looking for a host that offers a try-before-you-buy service, Hostinger isn’t it. Although there's 24/7 live chat and email or ticket support. If you’ve prioritised telephone support as a main factor in your choice of web host, Hostinger would not be the host for you. Its VPS plans get 100Mbps connection, less than many top hosting providers, therefore if your site needs more, look elsewhere. Union nexus1/30/2024 ![]() "These groups were carrying out targeted killings and raising funds for their nefarious activities through smuggling of drugs and weapons, Hawala and extortions," the NIA spokesperson said. From there, they were engaged in planning serious crimes in association with criminals lodged in jails across India, the official said. The spokesperson said the agency has found that many criminals, who were leading gangsters in India, had fled to countries such as Pakistan, Canada, Malaysia and australia. "The spotlight on these gangs has become sharper after reports of several prisons becoming havens of the deadly nexus and hubs of gang wars, which recently resulted in violence and murder inside the Goindwal Jail and the Tihar Jail," the official said. The spokesperson said investigations have revealed that the conspiracies were being hatched in jails of different states and being executed by an organised network of operatives based abroad. These was the sixth in a series of crackdowns launched by the NIA following the registration of three cases since august last year pertaining to conspiracies related to targeted killings, terror funding of pro-Khalistan outfits, and extortion.Īmong these cases are the sensational killing of Maharashtra builder Sanjay Biyani and international kabaddi player Sandeep Nangal ambia in Punjab last year. The official said the raiding parties have seized a pistol, assorted ammunition (both live and used cartridges), 60 mobile phones, five DVRs, 20 SIM cards, a hard disk, a pen drive, a dongle, a WiFi router, a digital watch, two memory cards, 75 documents and over Rs 39.60 lakh. ![]() "The focus of today's (Wednesday) raids was on weapon suppliers, financiers, logistic providers and Hawala operators associated with the hardcore gangs working with drug smugglers and terrorists based out of other countries such as Pakistan and Canada," the spokesperson said. The NIA said the raids were aimed at breaking the terror nexus of designated terrorist Arsh Dalla, and dreaded gangsters such as Lawrence Bishnoi, Chhenu Pehalwan, Deepak Teetar, Bhupi Rana, Vikash Lagarpuriya, ashish Choudhary, Gurpreet Sekhon, Dilpreet Baba, Harsimrat Simma and Anuradha. Beersmith water profile1/29/2024 You’d be forgiven for thinking an IPA needs more, but it doesn’t, as it is one of the contributing factors to an IPA’s bitterness sticking to your tongue. The only time I would go over the 250ppm limit is if I’m looking to do a “to style” Dortmund export or something similar. It’s a combination of either sharpness, bitterness or dryness in the flavor perception, as well as increasing the hop character in beers. The first major flavor component, many brewing software types will tell you this increases “bitter” in a beer, but it’s a little more complicated than that. Sulphate – 50 to 400ppm (Added through Gypsum or Magnesium Sulphate). The minimum amount is zero in the mash water because all barley wort contains loads of this stuff, but I can tell you from experience that adding even a small amount of magnesium (in the form of Epsom salts or MgSO4) to your mash does great things for the flavor of your beer. This is another element that is one of the primary contributors to lowering mash pH, although not as well as calcium. Magnesium – 0 to 30ppm (Added through Magnesium Sulphate). It is also essential for enzymatic processes in the mash. The higher the amount, the more easily the yeast flocculates. It’s also crucial for yeast health and a clear beer. This element is responsible for actually lowering mash pH in the first place. This is the most important item on the list. This is the bit about the different elements in brewing water – I’m going to keep this as simple as absolutely possible.Ĭalcium – 50 to 200ppm (Added generally through Gypsum or Calcium chloride). The sound engineer shifts the hundreds of keys, ensuring each note is either amplified or muted so that the overall composition is a marvelous piece of art – the difference between a platinum selling artist and your pot-head buddy in his garage! The Aspects to Consider in Water Chemistry What are you doing? When you balance your water chemistry vs your recipe, you are performing a similar function of a sound engineer at a sound board. Don’t believe me? Take an imperial stout water recipe and try to brew a pilsner with it – you’ll end up drinking a pale beer with the mineral profile of a granite quarry. This is the same beer recipe with the wrong water chemistry – and yes the results are just as dramatic between the two. ![]() The muddy lenses won’t allow you to see the beauty for what it actually is. All the colors are wrong, the artwork distorted and bent beyond recognition and you actually can’t make out what it originally was. Now you put these on and you look at the aforementioned painting. Now, you take a pair of those John Lennon-type round glasses with bright red lenses and – for dramatic effect – you take a stick of butter and rub them on the lenses. Pretty with all its masterful brushstrokes and swirl techniques…this is your beer’s flavor in all its perfection, with all the right highlights and hues and a perfect arrangement of water chemistry. Say you have a beautiful painting of a ship on the sea, lots of beautiful blue hues, brown and beige from the ship and oranges and pinks from the sunset in the sky. So, I’ve come up with the following analogy to explain this – What is the Importance of Brewing Water Anyway? One last note would be that this is a beginner guide to brewing water, I have left out much information, but it is by design… I don’t want newbie’s to get put off and I don’t want to get stuck writing a thesis either. ![]() ![]() You will most likely be shocked at the quality of even your first attempts. The plus side is that you will get your beers to the level where they don’t taste like homebrew anymore and will taste like commercial examples of the style – this is the final frontier after you have mastered the rest, including yeast control. This is seriously hard to get your head around in the beginning, I do understand, but ,similarly, you need to realize that while I am going to be giving water profiles for many styles, they may never be optimal for your particular recipe, so keep playing with it until you get it right – it takes on average 2 or 3 brews of the same recipe with different profiles to get it right in a commercial setup where we know our stuff – home brewers may take longer, but don’t get disheartened. There is a good reason for this…Īll pro-brewers will tell you that each recipe should have its own water profile, each construction of malt, hops and yeast needs its profile fine-tuned to be perfect. So, I searched and searched and saw that there is a site or two that does discuss generalized water profiles, but not a “catch all” type of formula. There are many books on the subject, but they are so in-depth usually that most home brewers either lose interest or mental capacity in the attempt. You may have noticed by now, that beer is over 90% water, so saying that brewing water is important is an understatement of galactic proportions.
