Nokia candybar phone3/20/2023 ![]() Just a sturdy, long-lasting phone that's reminiscent of days past. There's no Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok here. At its peak, the monochrome candybar phone sold for around 150. Durability-wise, Nokia says the new 6310 is protected by a "tough polycarbonate shell." It also has "weeks" of battery per charge, and comes with the iconic Snake game right out of the box. 04-22-09 Hackers Paying Thousands for Old Nokia Candybar Phones The Nokia 1100 is a nondescript cell phone first released in 2003. While the new Nokia 6310 is obviously more capable than its predecessor, it still keeps the core elements of what made the original so great. Nokia's also added a couple of new features that weren't available before, such as a wireless FM radio and the ability to zoom in on menus for easier readability.ĭon't worry, though. Compared to the 174Kb of memory on the original 6310, the new version is equipped with 16Mb - a modest increase of around 919 percent. Nokia 5710 XpressAudio (Dual Sim, 2.4 inches, 128MB/48MB) Feature phone - White. The new one increases it to 2.8 inches and adds color to it as well. The handset offers a social networking functionality together with a VGA camera, FM Radio and music player. As with handsets like the 5300, the Nokia 5000 is mostly. Nokia X2-01 is a basic candybar phone with QWERTY keyboard. ![]() ![]() The old Nokia 6310 has a tiny 1.8-inch monochrome display. The newly announced Nokia 5000 candybar phone has the same appearance as so many other multimedia-centered phones in the Nokia 5000-series. It also had a full QWERTY keyboard and an 84 x 48 monochrome display. While the updated Nokia 6310 has a striking resemblance to its iconic sibling, Nokia did make a few upgrades across the board. The 5510 was Nokias first phone with a built in MP3 player, and it had 64 megabytes of memory for storing MP3s. ![]()

Magical drop v nude mod3/20/2023 ![]() Afterwards, press “Manage Mods” and Refresh list then check “NakedLady” and/or “NakedV” and/or “Nico Mod” to enable the mods. Then put NakedLady.rar and DMC5 Naked V.rar inside “\Games\DMC5\Mods”. You’ll have then to start up modmanager.exe and select Devil May Cry 5 as the current game, which will create the necessary folders. In order to install these mods, you’ll have download Fluffy Manager 5000 from here. This mod contains a topless Nico with nipples so I guess we can call it a ‘ semi-nude‘ mod. Modder ‘maliwei777’ also released a nude mod for Nico. Now while these could be cool, we won’t be sharing them when they come out (though this story may be updated in order to also feature them). I’m also certain that modders will release a nude mod for Trish (to be honest I’m surprised that there is a nude mod for V and not for Trish), and we may also see similar mods for Nero and Dante. We want spoil anything but, again, we are certain that other modders will release a better naked version of this mod in the near future. Similarly, the nude mod for V lacks a penis due to gameplay or story reasons. This version does not feature any nipples or other naughty details (thus making Lady look like a barbie doll), though we are pretty sure that other modders will be able to offer better versions of this mod really soon. ![]() ![]() Going into more details, the nude mod for Lady basically swaps out all Lady’s character models for the naked version that is already included in the base game. These first mods will swaps out all of Nico’s, Lady’s and V’s character models with naked versions. ![]() Devil May Cry 5 is the latest triple-A game that has been released and the first nude mods for it are already available for download. Well, I’m pretty sure that most of you saw this coming. ![]()

You to hold your next meeting3/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Removing superfluous meetings is perhaps the single biggest gift to an executive’s productivity. Besides improving the quality and speed of your team’s decisions and helping you make better use of your time, we hope the exercise helps you shed light on the underlying organizational dynamics and mind-sets that may be seeding dysfunction in the first place. Try this exercise: take out your phone, open your calendar, and review today’s remaining meetings against the three questions below to see if you can spot any of the interrelated “fatal flaws” that most commonly sabotage meeting effectiveness. The state of management thinking on this topic will continue to evolve-and you’ll want to evolve with it.

The difficulties associated with decision making have long been of keen management interest, and any tour of the decision-making landscape should include Daniel Kahneman’s seminal book, Thinking Fast and Slow (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2013), which explores the pervasive role that cognitive biases play in human thinking and behavior. ![]()

Grammarly for mac word 20163/20/2023 ![]() The Adobe converter tool is probably the best solution if you have tons of PDF files to convert and need things done at the highest possible quality, but the price seems a little high just to convert a file or two from PDF to Word, so you’ll have to determine if it’s worth it or not. Visit Adobe Acrobat Exporter Online for $25 per year.The Adobe offering is a web app and therefore works in Mac OS X, iOS, Windows, or Linux, and can convert the PDF file into a DOC, DOCX, RTF, or even Excel XLSX files. Option 3: Use the Export PDF to Doc / DOCX / Web App from Adobeīy far the highest quality option is a paid one from Adobe, whom created the PDF format to begin with, so it’s perhaps no surprise they have a product that allows you to convert their file format into something else. This is obviously the least technical approach, and with such minimal effort involved it’s at least worth a shot before you attempt the other more complicate methods, or before plopping down money for an Adobe product. You can then save the file as a DOC or DOCX file when finished in Pages, Microsoft Office, or your app of choice. Very low tech, right? But guess what, it can work! Sometimes this works great, sometimes it does not work great, it largely depends on the PDF file you are attempting to copy and grab text from. You can also use Command+A for Select All, if you wish to attempt to copy the entire document contents. Navigate over to Microsoft Office, Word, Pages, or your word processor of choice, and paste with Command+V into the document and save as usual.Using the mouse cursor, select the text you wish to copy and then hit Command+C.Open the PDF file into Preview app on a Mac.Plus you can convert the file into anything you want, whether it’s doc, docx, rtf, or even a pdf. Would you have guessed that copying and pasting is reasonably effective at getting the text out of a PDF file and turning it into a DOC or DOCX file? It’s not quite converting the PDF to DOC through any automated fashion, and it’s quite low tech, but if the PDF in question is primarily (or entirely) text based, it works surprisingly well. Option 2: Copy Text from PDF & Paste Into a DOC in Mac OS X The primary downside to Google Docs is that it requires web access and internet access to use, otherwise it’s free and easy to try out, and it just may work for you. You can then open the DOCX file in Microsoft Office, or with the Apple Pages app to verify the conversion went smoothly. Google Docs is legitimately good at converting PDF files into a usable DOCX format and it often preserves formatting very well. Pull down the File menu within Google Docs and choose “Download As” and select “Microsoft Word (DOCX)” and save the Word DOCX file to the Mac.Click on the Upload button and choose the PDF file in question from the Mac. ![]()

Membrane pro reagent3/19/2023 ![]() If possible use a positive control to validate the experiment. Use a Bradford assay or a spectrophotometer at 280 nm to confirm total sample protein concentration, although this does not confirm the concentration of an analyte. The detection limit of a Western blot is determined by a number of factors, but it is important to make sure that there is enough protein for detection in the sample prior to loading. Is there sufficient antigen present in the sample for detection ? Bovine IgG may interact with the antibody due to homologous epitopes of the related species. Especially when using anti-goat or -sheep secondaries, avoid using milk or BSA in the diluent buffer. PBS/Tween 20 (0.05%) or TBS/Tween, without carrier proteins, is recommended as the secondary antibody diluent. Is the secondary antibody diluent appropriate? Increase concentration of primary and/or secondary antibody, or incubate overnight at +4 o C. Is the concentration of the antibody too low? for detecting a rabbit primary use anti-rabbit secondary. Use a secondary antibody which is specific for the species the primary was raised in, i.e. If possible run a positive control for the protein of interest to confirm the specificity of primary antibodyĪre the primary and secondary antibody compatible? No specific protein bands visible.ĭoes the primary antibody recognize the protein of interest?Ĭheck with the manufacturer of the primary antibody that it has been validated for detection of protein or epitope tag of interest by Western blot. Make sure to expel air from between the gel and membrane before transfer. The Ponceau stain will identify bubbles which have interfered with protein transfer, and appear as blank circles among the transferred proteins. Small proteins can sometimes be captured by the addition of a second membrane when blotting.Īre air bubbles trapped between the gel and the membrane when blotting? If it is suspected that large proteins have not successfully transferred from gel to membrane, Coomassie stain may be used to detect proteins remaining in the acrylamide gel. Optimization of blotting conditions may be required, reducing or increasing the duration of transfer depending on the size of proteins to be blotted. Small proteins may pass through the membrane or large proteins may fail to transfer from gel to membrane. Although Ponceau cannot be used to identify a specific protein of interest, the presence of many faint pink/red bands on the blotting membrane confirms that proteins have been separated through the gel and have transferred onto the membrane. To confirm the transfer of proteins from the gel onto the blotting membrane, Ponceau S reversible stain can be a used before the blocking step. If not, then the transfer of the proteins from the electrophoresis gel to blotting membrane may have been unsuccessful. The prestained protein marker or ladder should be visible on the membrane after transfer. No bands are visible on the blotting membraneĬan the protein marker be seen on the membrane? If the Western blot is not behaving as expected, our troubleshooting guide may help isolate the problem. The robust nature of the antigen-antibody interaction allows the presence of specific proteins and peptides to be detected from complex mixtures.

Cpu led light on3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() I have never had an issue with this app and I like how it shows all threads of the CPU depending on what Mac you have. Certian audio plugins can use alot of CPU and this app helps us to choose what to use sometimes using a very CPU intensiive plugin might not be the right choice so you watch CPU LED and then choose an alternative that is suitable. All I do know is that this particular luxury has been uninstalled.Īs a audio engineer CPU usage is one of the most important things you need to manage when recording or mixing. Maybe it's fought with something I've put on more recently? I don't know. After all, when I first installed it I could open its preferences, I could quit it, and it didn't cancel restart. I don't necessarily blame CPULed for this. I went through all my programs, extensions, plugins and other thingumajigs until I finally stopped CPULed running on startup. More recently, I've noticed Finder gradually using up to 100% CPU after an hour or so of uptime I kill Finder, it creeps back up. When I try to restart the Mac tells me "CPULed cancelled restart." (It restarts anyway.) If I try to quit it, it won't quit. It's done a reasonable job since then, taking up little room in my menu bar and showing me CPU activity in a neat and reasonably attractive way. I used this app since January 2012, when I bought an 8 core MBP and found I could no longer see each core's load in the activity monitor dock (it shows just one bar if you have any more than four cores.) I'm a programmer and I like to see if one of my cores is pegged (usually because I screwed something up.) If you are experiencing any problems or would like to send us a suggestion, please contact or tweet us and we'll be happy to help you.ĭoes what it says, but can be very badly behaved ![]() Now you know how to solve those uncomfortable "I switched apps and my machine is dying" moments! When Memory LED shows that you are running out of memory, just close some programs and you are good to go! Too much paging means your performance is going down the sink. That small guy will show you how much of your RAM is occupied (LED style), and how much paging is happening (i.e.: RAM to Disk and Disk to RAM operations). In order to know what is going on with your computer at a glance, CPU LED is the perfect companion for Disk LED!Īnd if you are using Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, you can also upgrade CPU LED by adding Memory LED! You can also choose the status icon appearance so it blends nicely with your status bar style, and hover with your mouse over the leds to see the current usage % and core temperature. You can have only one light for all your processors or one per core (your choice). Sometimes all you need to know is that your CPU is working hard.ĬPU LED is a very lightweight unobtrusive app that adds a LED in your status bar indicating your CPU activity (coded as light, medium or hard). " (Samuel Gibbs - TUAW)ĭo you ever wonder how stressed your CPU is? Sometimes, opening a complex activity monitor while your computer is heavily loaded is too late (or too much).

Alan wake remastered 1.053/19/2023 ![]() These short episodes continue the core narrative and provide some enjoyable gameplay twists as well. The game feels like a loving tribute to the works of Stephen King, with a healthy dash of television classic Twin Peaks thrown in for good measure.īack in 2010, Alan Wake received some criticism for its fairly unsatisfying final moments, but the inclusion of the game’s two DLC chapters “The Signal” and “The Writer” alleviates this issue in the remaster. Story was where the original Alan Wake truly triumphed, and that’s still the case with this remastered edition. Mercifully, these sections are brief and don’t drag the otherwise stellar pacing down. The passage of time hasn’t been very kind to them. The enjoyable third-person gunplay is complemented by a couple of very simple puzzles, and some driving sections that didn’t control very well even in 2010. ![]() This does help keep the tension high, as you never become overpowered, but it can be irksome to lose all your best tools after purposefully holding onto them. Often you’ll finish a section, watch a cutscene and then begin the next segment with all your ammo and equipment taken away. One aspect that can occasionally cause irritation is how regularly the game strips you of all your items. The main campaign, however, runs a breezy eight hours in length, so there’s never really time for repetition to set in. Although, in the final third part of the game, there are a few combat sections that run a tad long. Thankfully, well-placed checkpoints keep the game from ever becoming too frustrating. Enemies are aggressive and love spawning behind you for added fright factor. It’s definitely not a brutally difficult game, but you’ll need to keep your wits about you. ![]() ![]() Speaking of challenging combat sections, even on normal, Alan Wake Remastered puts up a fight. Choosing the right moment to burn a flare or unpin a powerful flashbang is essential in order to escape some of the game’s more bruising encounters. You also make use of additional items like flares and flashbangs which add some much-needed versatility to your arsenal. Halting a hulking enemy in their tracks with a powerful blast of light, popping off a few headshots, and watching your foe evaporate into a shower of shining particles never gets old. This was an innovative combat system back in 2010, and even in 2021, it remains extremely satisfying. In essence, you shine your torch to weaken an enemy’s defenses enough to pump them full of lead. Using a one-two combination of your gun and flashlight, you must stop the darkness that has infected the citizens of the remote mountain town of Bright Falls, Washington. ![]()

Enemies to lovers trope3/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Furthermore, the conflict surrounding an enemies-to-lovers story helps build the tension felt between the two characters. From a viewer’s perspective, we can’t help but feel pleased when we see how far they have come. As our main characters fall in love, they come to fully accept each other, despite all the things they previously couldn’t stand about the other. In an effort to overcome these interconnected levels of conflict, our characters are forced to grow and develop-another aspect of what makes enemies to lovers stories popular. The characters' initial feelings of hostility or loathing towards each other are usually at the center of any larger external conflict they may face. Conflict is necessary in any story, but the enemies to lovers dynamic itself presents as the central conflict. The enemies to lovers trope also offers another thing viewers love: conflict. Anthony’s delivery of the line: “you are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires” to Kate Sharma would not be effective in leaving fans feeling all the feelings if it wasn’t for all the delicious chemistry between Bailey and Ashley throughout a season full of back and forth quips and stolen glances. Take the recent obsession with Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley. It’s hard to imagine what our favourite TV and movie couples would be like with different actors. Even the more trashy enemies to lovers movies can be enjoyed when our actors can pull off a convincing romance. Even with a good screenplay, no one is going to root for characters that already dislike each other to end up together if there is no attraction or connection felt between them-something that the actors are responsible for bringing to life. This goes for any successful on-screen romantic pairing, but it’s even more crucial in an enemies to lovers story. With respect to the enemies-to-lovers trope being used in film and television, our two lead actors must have undeniable chemistry. Pride and Prejudice’s witty banter, slow burn pacing, and incredible show of character development are all part of what makes it a successful enemies-to-lovers story. Several screen adaptations have been made, most notably the critically acclaimed 1995 British television series starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth and Joe Wright’s 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. The story is beloved by so many for its charming wit and of course heartfelt romance. Darcy in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps the most classic enemies-to-lovers tale told is that of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. The trope is popular amongst both audiences and writers for many reasons. Whatever the backstory is, the thing that brings all enemies to lovers stories together is that there is some sort of animosity between the pair in question. Maybe they’re school or work rivals or maybe their first meeting was a total nightmare. ![]() While they may literally be enemies, usually our two characters in question are not actually sworn enemies but rather find themselves at odds with each other or have come to dislike (maybe even despise) each other for some reason. ‘Enemies to lovers’ could be considered an umbrella term for a variety of situations. ![]() Like all clichés, it has its pitfalls but when done right, the enemies-to-lovers trope can provide us with some of the most entertaining content. From fawning over Kat (Julia Stiles) and Patrick (Heath Ledger) in 10 Things I Hate About You to more recently devouring every scene shared by Catherine (Elle Fanning) and Peter (Nicholas Hoult) in Hulu’s The Great, love stories featuring snarky banter, serious tension, and ridiculously hot almost kisses have always been a guilty pleasure of mine and I’m sure many others. The only thing you’ll hate about this book is that you didn’t read it sooner.I’ve been a sucker for a good old-fashioned enemies-to-lovers story for as long as I can remember. But despite being very subtle, we strongly believe Six of Crows romance falls beautifully into place with the plot and absolutely deserves a spot on this list. The romance never takes over the plot and is applied with a very light hand, never getting in the way of the heist. There’s darkness, magic, morally gray characters everywhere, and then a subtle, slow-burn romance between two young thieves. Within the plot, this series has so many hidden themes and complex motifs that one could probably write an entire dissertation on them alone. In a few words, Six of Crows is a sweeping epic tale of six main characters, six dangerous outcasts trying to pull off an impossible heist that could make them rich beyond their wildest dreams. To start, it’s much more than a romance novel. Frequently mentioned by the “best fantasy books of all time” lists, Six of Crows is a bit different from the rest of the romance novels mentioned here. ![]() |
