![]() When I first switched from Windows to MacOS, the thing that took me the longest to get used to was app switching. All that for a mere $3 makes it a great bargain. You can assign keyboard shortcuts, change how windows resize, and even alter what each window’s traffic light buttons do when you right-click or middle-click on them. What makes it stand apart, though, is the wealth of customization options it offers. Like the Windows snapping feature, BetterSnapTool is incredibly simple to use. MacOS does not really have an equivalent - Split View gets halfway there, but is not nearly as good as what Windows has. Just drag a window to any edge of the screen and it will automatically snap to that side and fill the space accordingly. One of my favorite Windows features is its in-built window snapping. ![]() These add some of Windows’ most useful functionality, while retaining the classic Mac visual style, making ActiveDock a good compromise between the two systems. If you miss Windows 10’s look, two of the ActiveDock’s most useful features lets you add a Start menu to the Dock, as well as previews of open apps. This ranges from visual tweaks to wide-ranging overhauls of how the Dock works, so it should come in handy no matter what you have in mind. This keeps the Dock but adds a ton of customization, so you can style it up in a way that suits you. If uBar is not quite your style, ActiveDock is a good alternative. It even adds window previews when you hover over open apps, just like in Windows. You can keep things simple and add functionality to Apple’s default Dock, or replace it entirely with a Windows-style taskbar, complete with bars showing your currently open windows. It brings a new level of customization to the Dock. If you feel the same way, give uBar a go. While MacOS merges your app icons and open windows into a single Dock button, Windows differentiates them, making app management a little bit easier. In the clash between the Mac dock and Windows 10’s taskbar, I’ve always preferred the latter. If you miss the Windows Start menu, this is the app for you. ![]() They are all categorized by type, and you can add tags and colors to help sort your items. It can list your installed apps just like the Windows equivalent, as well as files, folders, and even URLs. This Mac app adds a drop-down list to the Mac’s menu bar.

This contrasts sharply with the record high global average surface air temperature (2 meters or 6.6 feet above the surface) for the month as shown in records compiled by NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other agencies. Yellows and reds indicate high air pressure blues and purples indicate low pressure.Ĭredit: NSIDC courtesy NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory Physical Sciences LaboratoryĪir temperatures at the 925 hPa level (approximately 2,500 feet above the surface) averaged for July 2023 were with one exception unremarkable (Figure 2). This plot shows average sea level pressure in the Arctic in millibars from July 1 to 29, 2023. To date since July 1, 2.86 million square kilometers (1.10 million square miles) of sea ice have melted. The ice edge has retreated to well north of the Alaskan and Mackenzie Delta coasts, but it is clear that the southern (Amundsen’s) route through the Northwest Passage is still choked with ice. However, ice is still present along much of the Northern Sea Route, noting of course that Russian ice breakers are quite capable of keeping routes open. Large parts of the Laptev and East Siberian seas are largely ice free, and a large area of fairly low ice concentration extends north of the Laptev Sea. The sea ice concentration image on August 1, 2023, from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) offers a detailed view of Arctic sea ice conditions (Figure1b). While there is speculation that a fundamental change in the Antarctic sea ice system is afoot, there is some evidence from early satellite data that extent may have been similarly low in 1966. ![]() ![]() ![]() By stark contrast, Antarctic sea ice extent remained far below previous record daily lows throughout the month. The July average Arctic sea ice extent of 8.18 million square kilometers (3.16 million square miles) was the twelfth lowest in the satellite record, and 1.29 million square kilometers (498,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 reference period. Sea ice concentration data are from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) imagery.įor the month of July, Arctic sea ice extent declined at a pace of 93,300 square kilometers (36,000 square miles) per day, near the 1981 to 2010 average of 86,900 square kilometers (33,600 square miles) per day (Figure 1a). This map shows a large opening on August 1, 2023, in the Laptev and East Siberian Seas and extensive open water north of Alaska and the Mackenzie River Delta. 2 And he led me out by the way of the north gate, and he caused me to turn to the way without the outward gate to the way that looked toward the east: and behold there ran out waters on the right side.Ĩ And he said to me: These waters that issue forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and go down to the plains of the desert, shall go into the sea, and shall go out, and the waters shall be healed.ĩ And every living creature that creepeth whithersoever the torrent shall come, shall live: and there shall be fishes in abundance after these waters shall come thither, and they shall be healed, and all things shall live to which the torrent shall come.ġ2 And by the torrent on the banks thereof on both sides shall grow all trees that bear fruit: their leaf shall not fall off, and their fruit shall not fail: every month shall they bring forth firstfruits, because the waters thereof shall issue out of the sanctuary: and the fruits thereof shall be for food, and the leaves thereof for medicine.ġ3 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.ġ4 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.ġ5 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.ġ6 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.ġ7 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.ġ8 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?ġ9 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.Ģ0 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building and wilt thou raise it up in three days?Ģ1 But he spoke of the temple of his body.Ģ2 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.Figure 1b. ![]() It’s not much of a video editor, but it makes the job easy to learn and quick to get done. ![]() ![]() Screenflow-This screen-recording software, invaluable for making screencasts, also has a rudimentary editor that allows you to crop and adjust your audio and video, add text with effects, and do basic editing.It also allows you to do the “side-by-side” split-screen recordings that I use here.

Cloud senses the threat Sephiroth poses, and in an attempt to save the world - as well as get some answers to long-forgotten questions - leads his allies in pursuit of his former comrade. The fight against Shinra changes completely with the reappearance of Sephiroth, a legendary SOLDIER who has been AWOL for years and is now blazing a trail of death across the entire world. ![]() The group discovers many of Shinra's secrets, including human experimentation and a plot to kidnap Aerith Gainsborough, a young woman believed to be the last of the mysterious Ancients. Alongside AVALANCHE leader Barrett Wallace and childhood friend Tifa Lockhart, Cloud begins to dig into the layers of corruption that permeate Shinra. An eco-terrorist organisation known as AVALANCHE - who believe Mako Reactors are sucking the very Life Energy from the planet and will eventually bleed the world dry - has launched a violent offensive against the company and the Mako Reactors in an attempt to galvanize the less-fortunate portion of Midgar into action.Ĭloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite private army SOLDIER, has joined AVALANCHE as a mercenary for hire. The city's prosperity has soared thanks to the electricity supplied by the Shinra Electric Power Company and their Mako Reactors. The game's story begins in the industrial metropolis of Midgar. It's one of the most famous games of all time, as it helped extend console RPGs into the West's mainstream gamer community and was seen as the PlayStation's Killer App in its battle against Sega and Nintendo.

The Sip & Save program, which was initially planned to be rolled out in 2020, was paused as the COVID pandemic hit and consumers were placed on lockdown orders across the country, CNBC said.īut now, with vaccinations increasing daily and state restrictions easing as well, Circle K sees it as an ideal time to launch the program and expects it to build that important customer loyalty base while helping it to draw in customers after foot traffic waned during the height of the pandemic. The company is planning on introducing a beverage subscription program called Sip & Save, which will cost customers $5.99 per month for one tea, coffee, Froster slushy, or Polar Pop fountain drink of their choice every day, CNBC reported.

MySQL is backed by a well-established commercial company, while PostgreSQL is backed by a large volunteer development group. postgreSQL is based on a free BSD/MIT license, and organizations can use, copy, modify and redistribute the code, requiring only a copyright notice. It offers a single full-featured version, unlike MySQL, which offers several different community, commercial and enterprise editions. Originally developed at the University of California, Berkeley in 1985 as a successor to the Ingres database, PostgreSQL is a completely community-driven open source project. some fans of PostgreSQL say it rivals Oracle, and without the expensive price tag and arrogant customer service. PostgreSQL touts itself as the world’s most advanced open source database. The core code is based on the GPL license, and because MySQL is controlled by Oracle, the community is concerned about the impact on MySQL open source, so some branches have been developed, such as: MariaDB and Percona. Oracle supports several versions of MySQL: Standard, Enterprise, Classic, Cluster, Embedded and Community, some of which are free to download and some of which are paid for. MySQL was originally developed by MySQL AB and then sold to Sun in 2008 for $1 billion, which was acquired by Oracle in 2010. MySQL is used by applications built on LAMP, such as WordPress, Drupal and most php open source programs. ![]() MySQL claims to be the most popular open source database, and the M in LAMP refers to MySQL. Before we start our analysis, let’s take a look at these two charts.

What is Morse code used For? Yes! Morse Code is still a famous way to send wireless messages long-distance for example in NAVY where water limits communication, or in intelligence where spies are taught to master the code in stressful situations. S in Morse code is three distinctive dots …, whereas O is recognized by three dashes.

SOS is a cry for help and was the first-ever SOS calls in morse code were recorded in 1909. What is Morse code for SOS? Morse code for SOS. An interesting fact about SOS is that it is a palindrome and an ambigram which means that it can be read the same from whichever side you look at it, making it easy for the onlookers to decode the signal.
