![]() ![]() “The Web is the most impactful innovation of our time.” “There are very few innovations that have truly changed everything,” said Jeff Jaffe, CEO of the World Wide Web Consortium. ![]() The Web has also become a decentralized community, founded on principles of universality, consensus, and bottom-up design. Not to be confused with the internet, which had been evolving since the 1960s, the World Wide Web is an online application built upon innovations like HTML language, URL “addresses,” and hypertext transfer protocol, or HTTP. Whether you use it for email, homework, gaming, or checking out videos of cute puppies, chances are you can’t imagine life without the Web. Today, there are nearly 2 billion websites online. The Web would soon revolutionize life as we know it, ushering in the information age. By 1991, the external Web servers were up and running. Initially, Berners-Lee envisioned "a large hypertext database with typed links,"named “Mesh,” to help his colleagues at CERN (a large nuclear physics laboratory in Switzerland) share information amongst multiple computers.īerners-Lee’s boss allowed him time to develop the humble flowchart into a working model, writing the HTML language, the HTTP application, and WorldWideWeb.app- the first Web browser and page editor. This was how Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s boss responded to his proposal titled “Information Management: A Proposal,” submitted on this day in 1989, when the inventor of the World Wide Web was a 33-year-old software engineer.

![]() Printing these weight-loss trackers is pretty straightforward: simply click on the image of the tracker you’d like to use, download the PDF file to your computer, and print! If you prefer to see a visual of your progress by coloring in mini goals or increments, or you like charts or calendars to track your momentum, or even if you want to make a game out of it or have some kind of reward for all your effort, we’ve got the weight loss tracker template for you! With so many layouts and designs we’re sure you’ll find one you love and that is just right for motivating you to start and to keep going! ![]() There truly are countless reasons why a person would be motivated to lose weight, but regardless of your reason for wanting to become a more fit person one thing is certain: even small improvements in your health and weight will reap many positive benefits!īelow, we have 29 free printable weight loss trackers (over a third of them include daily, weekly, and monthly versions for whatever interval you want to track) to help you on your weight loss journey. For others, it may be health-related issues that require losing weight in order to relieve many painful symptoms. ![]() For some people, the indulgence of the Christmas season can make them feel sluggish, and starting a new exercise and healthy eating regimen is just what is needed to initiate a good start to the year. We know there are many reasons for wanting to shed a few pounds. While we have many, many free printables to help you get organized ( printable planners, free printable calendars, or to-do lists, anyone?) and even printables to help you get your finances in order (we have monthly budget planners, savings trackers, and debt trackers, just to name a few!) we’d also like to offer free printables for a very popular goal on everyone’s list when a new year begins: weight loss and health. The New Year is a perfect opportunity to assess where we are in life and to determine what goals we’d like to achieve in the coming twelve months – goals that will make us happy, healthy, and prosperous. ![]() Raised beds can also make gardening easier on your back, help keep some pests away from your bounty, and allow you to start planting a little earlier in the season than you could with in-ground beds.īut why go with these Oldcastle blocks rather than with other raised-bed solutions? Oh, I’m glad you asked! The Oldcastle blocks are cheap. Raised beds are our best bet here in Central Oregon, because our rocky, volcanic soil makes it nearly impossible to plant anything directly in the ground without some serious work. And you don’t have to deal with rocks, roots, and other obstacles to getting your plants seated in fertile ground. Building a raised bed allows you to create the soil mix you want from scratch. You can amend your naturally occurring dirt and get straight to planting.īut if you’re dealing with a high water table, bad soil pH, or a rocky hardpan underlayer (like me), raised-bed gardening is a great alternative. If you live in an area that has fertile soil, in-ground gardening is simple and cheap. In the end, all three of us were impressed by how cheaply and easily our gardens came together. Several hours later (yes, that same day), the beds were complete.Īs it turns out, I wasn’t the only Wirecutter staffer who was bewitched by these marvels of modern engineering: Two of my coworkers were building their own block-based beds at the same time. I rushed outside, measured our space, and texted her the dimensions. In video after video, gardeners of all experience levels gushed over the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of these concrete blocks, and they shared tips on how to put them to best use. I quickly discovered that people really love these bricks. While she browsed the tomato starts, I scoured YouTube. ![]() ![]() Instead, my partner was at our local home-improvement super-center and stumbled upon Oldcastle’s planter wall blocks. But we knew we wanted to invest in a garden, and we knew we wanted raised beds.īeing a Wirecutter writer, I’d love to tell you that I obsessively researched the subject before building my garden beds. We were tired, our bank accounts were nearly empty, and we didn’t have many tools in the garage. Two years ago, my partner and I moved into a new house-our first as homeowners. Though much of gardening is passive-simply watering, waiting, and watching-the hard work is all front-loaded: lifting bags of soil, compost, and fertilizer tilling the earth and, of course, building beds for your plants. There’s also the added confidence of knowing exactly what went into the soil that produced it all.īut before you reap, first you must sow. And home-grown produce almost always tastes better than store-bought because it’s picked when it’s perfectly ripe. Tending growing plants is a meditative, contemplative process that (for me at least) provides something beautiful to focus on when the world is hard to process. Gardening is a hobby that’s good for both body and mind. As long as there’s something that’s partially limiting the flow enough that it doesn’t cause the bike to run leaner due to more air being moved through the engine Then, later if you want to try and get the most out of it, you can have it reflashed by a tuner on a dyno.Īgain though, as I said above, you can very likely bolt a new exhaust on without changing any of the tuning on the bike, provided you leave the DB Killer in on whatever exhaust you get. Essentially that’s what the tuner is doing: Reflashing your ECU with their own tune as opposed to a preconfigured one.Īs soon as flash companies like FT-ECU and Woolich manage to crack into this new Euro 5 ECU, it will take no time at all for someone to compile a list of preset flashes for various exhausts and other mods, at which point you can flash them into the bike yourself with the appropriate interface hardware. It’s worth noting that the equipment the tuner is using to re-map your ECU is the exact same as you would need to reflash it. The latter will yield the best the result hands down. ![]() There will definitely be some gains to be had with a freer flowing exhaust and an optimization of the tune to accommodate it.Īs for Reflash vs having a tuner re-map the ECU… In fact I hate the stock exhaust, and as such, already have a Yoshi ordered. I’m certainly not saying the stock exhaust is best. You would have to have some pretty interesting looking maps on the PC5 for the above mentioned driver modes not to be sufficient enough in place of the ability to switch maps.Īs for the exhaust. Your comment about the Dynojet having multiple maps is valid, but because there are four different driving modes on the stock ‘21’s ECU, it’s basically like having four different aggressiveness settings. ![]() Lots of guys have plenty of success with them, I just prefer having the actual ECU handle those changes I wish to make to optimize the setup for more power, a new exhaust etc etc. I don’t like systems that fool the stock ECU because it’s a very coarse and potentially unreliable way to adjust parameters. It alters the signal going to the ECU, tricking it into thinking the sensors are reading differently than they are, thus adjusting the fuel/ignition etc A PC5 goes in line between your sensors and your ECU. ![]() This way, you can customize the coordinates display to better suit your preferences. ![]() Indicates whether the fly mode is enabled and shows your current fly speed.įeel free to adjust the text in the text area to match your desired format and content. The direction you are facing (e.g., north, south, etc.). The coordinates of the block you are currently looking at. The location of the chunk you’re currently in. Here’s a table describing the available choices: Coordinates Option You have various options for customizing the coordinates display. Modify the content in the text area to your liking.Look for the text area at the bottom of the interface.To customize what appears on the coordinates display, follow these steps: So as you use XRay and encounter new blocks, they will be included in the visible blocks list. However, XRay tries to solve this problem by automatically adding any missing blocks it detects while the XRay feature is enabled. It can be tricky to get a complete list of all blocks, especially when using mods. If you come across any missing blocks, don’t worry. By default, all blocks are shown except for some obvious ones that you wouldn’t want in the XRay feature. Simply check or uncheck the ones you want to be visible or hidden. Just press the J key to open the interface, and you’ll see a list of blocks. To change which blocks are visible, you can easily make adjustments through the user interface. In this case, you will have to set different keys since they conflict with other controls in the game. It is possible that some default controls display a red border or are colored RED. To change the keybinds, go to Options -> Controls -> Key Binds… and scroll down to the XRay section. The X-Ray Mod features a config file that will let you “erase” any blocks you like, so you can focus on just the resources you need or want to find and forget everything else. If you’re playing alone though, why go through the bother of digging through stacks and stacks of blocks of dirt, stone, and other worthless materials to get what you want? Nobody actually likes the digging and mining parts of Minecraft they love pulling ores and gems out of the world though, and you need to do the first thing before you can do the second thing in most cases. The bottom line is, don’t use this mod online. If you use this mod on a multiplayer server you should expect to get banned, either automatically when the server security system detects you using bad mods, or a little down the line when some moderator or owner notices you finding too many valuable in too short a time. Server owners don’t like the mod either, and specific plugins watch exclusively for people finding patches of ores and metals too frequently while playing online. Of course, actually using the Xray Mod will be considered cheating by many players. If you want to play in Hardcore mode or go through Survival without turning on cheats, the XRay Mod is probably the most powerful tool for helping you quickly amass resources and get the goods you need. With all of the filler made invisible, you can more easily find your way to veins of coal, iron, gold, diamonds, and other valuable resources buried beneath the ground in Minecraft. The blocks will still be there of course – you can’t see them but they’re still there. ![]() Who knows when that patch of coal or iron you chop out of a wall will lead to a dungeon with mob spawners and chests, or whether it will be a long drop to a fiery end in a pit of lava that waits for you on the other side of that next wall? Well, now you can know with the Xray Mod, which works a lot like any old X-Ray resource pack you might find.īy turning specific blocks like dirt or stone invisible, the textures for these blocks will simply disappear from your view. Hunting down resources in caves, abandoned mineshafts and sunken, underground fortresses is one of the more exciting parts of Minecraft. ![]() This is just an example – Photoshop routinely allows you lots of different ways to get virtually any effect, allowing you to experiment endlessly to discover the look that suits you best. Or, you can create an adjustment layer and make changes there, using a clipping mask to determine precisely which bits of your image you want to change. Exposure problems? You can load up the Adobe Camera Raw filter and make them there, or you can make your adjustments via the Levels panel. Indeed, one of Photoshop’s biggest strengths is that it provides a number of ways to skin just about any cat you can name. And speaking of brushes, just about every mouse stroke you can make in Photoshop can be adjusted for size, weight, flow rate and opacity, meaning you can make changes to your images ranging from the almost infinitely subtle to the (literally) broadest of strokes. Photoshop also has a proper clone stamp tool (for cloning pixels in an image), complete with the ability to rotate the source of your cloning as you brush onto the image. They’re an incredibly powerful, flexible tool and one of the main reasons our images get round-tripped out of Lightroom. ![]() The beauty of layers is they allow to carefully, invisibly, composite images together to create photorealistic effects, or to merge photographs with different subjects. If you can imagine it, and you’re prepared to take the time to learn, you can do just about anything to a photograph that you can imagine using Photoshop.įrom a photography standpoint, the ability to create layers, including adjustment layers, is unbelievably useful, and a feature that seems unlikely to ever make it to Lightroom. What can you do in Photoshop that you can't do in Lightroom? Lightroom also has some unbelievably powerful cataloguing and organizational tools – it could be argued that if all it included were these, it would still be worth the price of admission. Lightroom makes edits in much broader strokes – while it includes some per-pixel tools – a healing brush and a clone stamp, for example – its strength is generally in its ability to take an image and very quickly refine it. If there’s a single pixel you want to change, Photoshop will let you do that. That means that while you can make changes to your image as a whole, you don’t have to. When it comes to editing photos, Photoshop is what’s known as a per-pixel editor. That makes it almost outrageously powerful, particularly considering the price (more on that later), but it also means there are lots of tools that photographers will need either rarely, or in some cases, literally never. ![]() Photoshop might have the word “photo” in its name, but over the years it’s grown from being a straightforward image editor to being an incredibly flexible program for illustration, page layout, video editing, animation and a few more things besides. Photoshop and Lightroom Classic are both image editors, but they work in very different ways. It’s less powerful, though, and those serious enough about their photo editing to be considering Photoshop as a photo editor should only really be thinking about Lightroom Classic – which is what we’re doing here. ![]() Lightroom – without “Classic” appended to it – is a cloud application great for those who want to edit on a tablet as well as a desktop or a phone. Lightroom Classic is the full-fledged desktop application, complete with image editing, the catalogue and so on. Slightly confusingly, Lightroom Classic – which is what we’re talking about here – differs a bit from what is now simply called Lightroom. ![]() Still no fix, asked steam support if they have an updated ETA and they said they can't disclose future steam beta updates and closed my case. Said it should be pushed to the Steam Beta in a week or so. ![]() Got a response form Steam Support on May 27 that they are now aware of the issue and their engineers are working on a fix. This is the exact issue myself and others are having: Someone made a video showing what is happening. If you want to update steam back to normal after doing this, delete the steam.cfg that you put in there and restart steam, it should then auto update like normal. Problem is that you can't play online, and any games released after that steam version from 2020 will not be playable since steam did not "support" them back then, and you will not be able to play online. Thanks to a comment from Zerberus, you can temporarily fix the issue by reverting steam to an older version using this video. I recommend everyone use his patch now instead of Koalagedon.īlack Ops 3 will also be getting an update in the near future so using Koalagedon may risk a ban. The more they hear about it the faster we'll get a fix, either from their end or Steam's.Īfter talking with serious, we managed to fix the fps stutter issue his patch used to have. If you're having the same issue please also send Activision and Steam a support ticket. Seems like some people have already sent support tickets to Activision and they said they would look into it. ![]() There are a few threads on the steam discussion forums about other users having this. And if at any point it goes back online the issue will start again. It HAS to launch offline, you can't launch it normally and then go offline. The only way to fix it for now is to launch the game in offline mode. This was a problem for a while in the Steam beta builds, and it appears it was not fixed and rolled over into the new official Steam update. Steam did something wonky and now whenever the game connects to the internet through Steam's servers it starts having issues. Its being caused by the May 12 steam update. In menus its a consistent stutter every 1 second, once in a zombies map the game will often freeze or crash, and in MP fps will randomly be capped somewhere between 80 and 90. Alot of people have noticed Black Ops 3 has been having issues the last week or so. Stir flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture. Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together.
