Iphoto update temporarily unavailable4/30/2023 If your apps share data among each other, configure your targets to share containers, described in Specifying Custom Containers. Most apps should only need access to the default container. When you enable iCloud Documents, Xcode configures your app to access the iCloud container whose name is based on the app’s bundle ID. As needed, Xcode can also handle any additional configuration, such as the creation of your app’s associated containers. After enabling the iCloud capability, Xcode creates an entitlements file (if one does not already exist) and configures it with the entitlements for the services you selected. The Capabilities tab of your Xcode project manages the creation of the entitlements and containers your app needs to access iCloud. Request Access to iCloud Using Xcode Capabilities To enable access to any iCloud containers, you request the appropriate entitlements. Figure 1-1 Your app’s main iCloud (ubiquity) container in context It is separate from the rest of your app’s data, as shown in Figure 1-1. An iCloud container (also referred to as a ubiquity container) serves as the local representation of the corresponding iCloud storage. To save data to iCloud, your app places data in special file system locations known as iCloud containers. The iCloud Container, iCloud Storage, and Entitlements For more information about data security and privacy concerns related to iCloud, see iCloud security and privacy overview. The iCloud services encrypt data prior to transit and iCloud servers continue to store the data in an encrypted format, using secure tokens for authentication.

Auricula care4/30/2023 Auricula plants and flower for sale online in the UKĮmail - and Primula - only small but growing, superb quality and service.īARNHAVEN PRIMROSES- Tel/Fax: 00 33 (2) 96 35 68 41ġ1 rue du pont blanc - 22310 - Plestin Les Grèves. So variety in Primula auricula is fascinating, we know of individual growers with over 1000 cultivars, and that's just in the UK. Perhaps the 'original'Auriculas and as the name suggests they are easy to grow in the garden border.ĭoubles - As with all doubles, a double flower, or enough petals to cover the centre. Fancy - The ones that do not fit in above, but have 'pastes'Īlpines - These have a single colour in the centre and are perhaps the easiest for the beginner.īorders - A hardy garden group, many are fragrant and some varieties have been available for many years.Striped - Irregular stripes, very popular for many years, fell out of favour, however with new releaes are making a comeback.Se have a petal with one colour and a ring around the stamen in the centre Edged - A frosty, icing edge around the dark petal.Show - These have a second colour near the yellow tube center called a farina or 'paste', it is a white colour The modern Auricula falls into 4 main sections with sub sections We are by no means experts on Primula Auricula, this however here is an attempt to explain a little about the various types of Auriculas that you may see in a show, and that you can find for sale from specialist nurseries. Allen Harkes, Derek Parsons, Derek Salt and Richard Austin have all been great contributors to recent developments. Some varities are harder than others, and for perfect flowers a greenhouse or protected position will be best.Īs with all plants hybridisers are busy developing new and different types, growers such as Barnhaven. You will get better flowering in the cooler climates, with some plants flowering over 2 months. It does change color as it ages, getting lighter, the most intense color is when the flower first opens. With a buttery golden centre, a ring af maroon and an outer of peach cream. Slow release fertilizer, especially in pots.Ī few outstanding named varities can be found and one of the bright stars is Primula Auriculas Sirius.Try a ratio of 1:5, this will prevent problems during winter when rains can flood poorly drained pots and the Auricula plants will just rot. If you are growing Auricula in containers or pots then you may need to amend the potting mix with with some perlite to improve drainage. Moring sun and dappled shad ein the afternoon, and make sure that air movement is good, this really helps prevent problems. They need a very well drained soil, a good loamy soil is best. These wonderful yet little grown plants are a little different in terms of care and cultivation to their relations (primulas). With this group of plants we are looking at the fascinating, should I say beautiful cultivars available for sale, with flowers that never cease to amaze.Īuricula 'Rabley Heath' is pictured right, this one is classified as a 'Light centered Alpine' and is named after an area in Herefordshire. Auriculas are a fascinating group of plants that have developed from the species by hybridizers over many years. Halo reach lone wolf4/30/2023 Emile-239’s collection of Covenant war trophies and contraband also hint at his obsessive and dark nature. While a highly effective soldier, the level of violence he deploys has made him unusable in militia repression in the past, due to the negative media coverage his actions tend to occur. Warrant Officer Emile-239 is the assault specialist of Noble Team, and brings to his role an aggression bordering on the unhinged. However, this may be his way of rationalizing the horrors he has witnessed in combat and continuing to be able to function calmly under the intense pressure Noble Team finds itself facing. There are suggestions that he may be suffering some form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and his cold detachment from the results of his actions can make him appear almost sociopathic. Highly talented with ranged weapons, Jun-266’s mental state has been called into question, not least because of his tendency to constantly chatter away during combat. Jun-266 is the sniping specialist of Noble Team. The high level of technology in the Halo universe, however, means that this causes her little inconvenience, and she still uses it as her shooting hand. The attack upon the Covenant Battlecruiser that led to Thom-293’s loss also resulted in Kat-320 having her right arm severely injured, amputated and replaced with a cybernetic arm. Like him, she has assumed a burden of guilt for the death of Thom-293, despite it in reality being down to an act of tactical stupidity on the dead Spartan’s part. Due to what her and Carter-259 have endured together, she and he share a close bond, and Kat-320 is devotedly loyal and protective of her Commander. The other original Noble Team member, Kat-320 is a cryptoanalysis and computer hacking specialist, with an almost superhuman ability to decipher and process information under pressure, making her a brilliant battlefield tactician. For fans of the live-action Halo: Reach trailer Birth Of A Spartan, the youth undergoing the augmentation procedures featured is a young Carter-259. Unusually for Spartans, he is able to deal well with other personnel and civilians. This makes accepting SPARTAN-312 on to the team a difficult matter for him.Ī heroic and selfless commander, dedicated to Noble Team and its members safety, Carter-259 was born to lead. At the start of Halo: Reach, Carter-259 is still consumed by guilt over the loss of Thom-293 in a prior mission to destroy a Covenant Battlecruiser, blaming himself for his fellow Spartan’s death. The battle-scarred leader of Noble Team, and with Kat-320, one of only two survivors of the original line-up, Carter-259 has seen enough war and bloodshed to last anyone a lifetime. The character must overcome the suspicions of his new team mates, as well as rein in his/her “lone wolf” tendencies to battle the Covenant in the last days of the human colony on Reach. SPARTAN-312 is a highly skilled test pilot, something that will become vital as the Fall of Reach becomes imminent.Īt the beginning of Halo: Reach, SPARTAN-312 finds him/herself assigned to Noble Team to replace the recently deceased Thom-293. The character’s shadowy background appears to have included being use to single-handedly repress civilian militia groups, as well as other morally-suspect “black ops”. Catherine Halsey, the original founder of the SPARTAN-II project. He/She (Halo: Reach allows the player to choose the gender for SPARTAN-312, with a full audio track for both the male and female versions) is described as being one of only two Spartans to have earned the “Hyper Lethal” rating (guess who the other is) by Dr. Halo: Reach’s playable character is a mysterious Spartan warrior with a history of lone undercover missions. Does floola store ipod songs4/30/2023 You fanboy sheep who base your coolness on what appliance you use really, really need to look at your flawed logic. But iTunes runs like it’s firing in lard. Virtually every other media application works like a dream on Windows. Therefore, the onus was on Apple to provide a decent media player. When the latter was being written, it was done so with full knowledge that tens of millions of users would be using it…wait for it…ON WINDOWS. Vista (such as it is) existed long before the dog known as iTunes 8.0 was released. WINDOWS is the largest market for iPods/Phone by leaps and bounds. Some of you actually believe it’s Windows’ fault that iTunes is such an abysmal pig. Microsoft has a stellar reputation, I mean, look at how happy everyone is with Vista! And it came out right on time! The problem most likely lies in their court. Either Apple wrote a program that isn’t that great on PCs (which, based on their branding and desire to not alienate anyone seems unlikely) or the real problem lies with PCs running Windows (which seems very likely). I’ve never heard a Mac user complain about iTunes being slow on their machine, so that leads me to believe that it may just be a PC issue. Second, which is actually the root of all these posts, iTunes is apparently slow on Windows PCs. Popular Mechanics just released an article about Macs “trouncing” PCs in all their tests. Wait, you’re not? then you must be believing someone else’s reports. First, Sam, you accuse mac users of believing Apple’s stats, and whose are you buying into? Surely, since you know the absolute truth, you must be running the benchmarks and all tests on your own. Instead (not sure for this) itunes run slowly maybe is it based on mac osx core, such core animation, core image ecc, it is based on some code process that windows must first translate and run… same thing when i play some games that were optimized for directx … and this sucks… microsoft killed lot of os producers… apple survived to this… in the past years i couldn’t surf the web because internet explorer put some standards that worked ONLY on windows… and we were obligated to use ie for the web and on mac was incredibly slow… it is that right? is right only for microsoft cash for me… now apple’s got the revenge… and i’m very pleased for this… i’m sorry but you can’t immagine how frustrated was to can’t play on mac different games such has halo… bungie developed only games for mac a time… microsoft bought bungie some months before the mac release and halo went out three years later for mac!! and running incredibly slow!Īh dear sam… we have unix on our os… you can install all that you want… think before write Pc is reported to conformity… you can buy dell, hp, ecc… but there is always windows the windows “option”…. We’re all just running PC’s in a world of competitive companies brainwashing the arrogant folks into thinking there is a best computer. Does this not make it a Personal Computer (PC) ? Mac is a computer right? And is it personal? I do believe so. I’ve had this question burning in my head for some time now. SORRY THIS IS SO LONG BUT ONE MORE THING! Would you rather be controlled by your Mac or would you rather control your PC?Īs for this post, yes i really wish they would stop with the “apple is better so we should only serve our loyal drones” attitude. Plus there are tons of different OS’s you can put on a PC so you can find the perfect one for you and not be CONTROLLED by Apple. Windows is faster, supports more games, software, freeware, hardware, and utilities, and it has better graphics, video, and internet options. The stats that have been found from many weeks of testing in hundreds of different PC to software combinations. Not the stats apple’s writers make up for their commercials. Would streaming help? Something like Windows Home Server and then stream everything to the PCs? I'm not sure how this would work with iPod syncing though.Look at the stats. How would that work if music is purchased on.Should I have a central music store on the File Server and then point each machine to it?.I don't really care which music program I use (i'm getting a bit sick of iTunes), however I don't know of an alternative that syncs easily with iPods or can manage podcasts well. I'm not really sure how I am supposed to manage all this, it's doing my head in.

High viscosity4/30/2023 Too low or high hydraulic fluid viscosity can damage the hydraulic system components like pumps, valves, filters, etc. Likewise, higher viscosity of fluid will reduce mechanical efficiency and causes issues like high energy consumption, heat generation, cavitation, poor air release, and inadequate lubrication. Low hydraulic oil viscosity creates a risk of internal leakages and will cause lower volumetric efficiency of pumps and motors. At higher temperature, the fluid will become thinner and reduces the lubricating power of fluids. At lower temperature, the fluid will solidify and make it difficult to pump or flow. As we mentioned above, the temperature will affect the hydraulic oil viscosity. Hydraulics have indoor and outdoor applications that work in extreme winter cold temperature to desert hot temperature. Normally used mineral oils will have a viscosity index around 100.Īlso, Read: Water in Hydraulic Oil Importance of Hydraulic Oil Viscosity The viscosity index of synthetic oils will be higher than that of mineral oil. If a low viscosity index fluid is selected for an application requiring low-temperature, the fluid will freeze and resist free movement of fluid through the system. The highly desirable hydraulic oil must have a viscosity index range more than 95. Here ‘L’ is the oil with viscosity index zero at 40☌, ‘H’ is the oil with a viscosity index 100 at 40☌, and ‘U’ is the kinematics oil viscosity at 40☌.Īpplying the viscosity index formula helps you to choose the right hydraulic fluid for your application. In precise, we can say that viscosity will increase when cold and decreases when heat.įor viscosity index calculation, you can use the formula: Low viscosity index indicates high viscosity changes with change in temperature and high viscosity index is just the reverse. Viscosity index is primarily classified into low(up to 35), medium(35-80), high(80-110) and very high(above 110). It is the change in hydraulic oil viscosity with changes in temperature. Dynamic viscosity is measured using onsite viscometers and kinematic viscosity is that measured and reported by oil analysis laboratories.Īlso, Read: Understanding the Symptoms of Low Oil Pressure What is hydraulic viscosity index? Hydraulic oil viscosity can be categorized in dynamic (absolute) viscosity or as kinematic viscosity. A fluid with low viscosity will flow faster and that with higher viscosity will flow slowly. Hydraulic oil viscosity determines the selected fluids film strength and thickness in machines. Otherwise, it will inversely affect the lifetime of that hydraulic system. So, it is important to choose a fluid having adequate viscosity. At the same time, lower viscosity will create internal leakages during higher temperature. The higher viscosity of fluids will result in increased friction, pressure drop, and heat generation. The viscosity of oil determines which oil to be selected for what application. Hydraulic oil viscosity is the key property that affects the performance of every hydraulic system. The viscosity of a fluid is the internal resistance to flow. We can discuss more on hydraulic oil viscosity here. Among all these, hydraulic oil viscosity is necessary and most considered property that will reduce machine wear and improves accuracy. For achieving a properly working hydraulic system, the manufacturer or designer must need to consider various hydraulic fluid properties like viscosity, compressibility, demulsibility, fire resistance, etc. Hydraulic system uses different oil types for performing functions like lubrication, heat transfer, power transmission, and sealing.

How to Find Your Own Sugar Daddy (Like I Did) Pixel check for updates4/30/2023 Meanwhile, that hint of color is still present in the app icon and the notorious “Check for update.” While this interface was previously already stark white, Google is removing the light blue app bar in this new version. That icon already follows Google’s latest design language with bold outline and hollow interiors. Like other Material Theme revamps, Google centers important parts of the UI, including the phone icon and “Your system is up to date” status. We managed to enable this new UI with the latest version of Google Play services last week, but it now appears to be rolling out according to Android Police. Google is now rolling out a redesign to the System update screen that adopts a handful of Material Theme tweaks. It’s not a difficult process, but can be frustrating if you haven’t done it before.With the January security patch this week, many noticed that the Google Pixel’s “Check for update” button was working as intended again. If you aren’t seeing it, you could always flash the update manually to get it quicker. This is kind of a snoozy feature drop, if I’m being honest, but Snapchat users will like it, Now Playing is getting sweet new controls, Ultra-wideband file sharing is coming to the Pixel 6 Pro, and you might be able to use your phone as car key.Īgain, the update is arriving as early as today.

Scapple mind map4/30/2023 Having realized Scapple’s greatest virtue, at least for me, I went back over all my old Moleskines, and each time I came to some point worth noting, I typed it into my original Scapple file, and the software swallowed all those great ideas I’d forgotten and incorporated them into a single virtual piece of pixeled paper. Forget your three favorite pens and grab your mouse. I could not think of a better recommendation for what at first seemed to me to be a superfluous software program: Scapple is actually an illustrative database freed from the tyranny of cells and the limitations of sheets. And that allowed me to load up for book four. Literally, it was as if I had found Chekhov’s complete unfired armory in chapter after chapter. Here were the character sketches, the timelines, the locations, the conflicts, the inciting incidents, many of which I’d forgotten. While not exactly the Dead Sea Scrolls, scrolling up and down Blount’s “big, virtual piece of paper,” I found myself visiting and revisiting the thought processes I engaged in as I developed my alt-espionage series. What I saw when I reopened the program was the cumulative file I’d inadvertently developed over the years. There it was, inscribed on a roadmap written in Scapple: the real purpose for this soft-powered software for writers: c ontinuity. (No offense intended to drinkers of Bushmills.) So, when I invoked Scapple for the first time in a long while, the effect was like dropping back three fingers of Jameson, neat. Scapple happens to be one of those programs that will reopen where you last left off, assuming you did not close its window when you quit. Imagine a quirk turning into a revelation. The constant decisions and revisions which each moment I revised grew impossible, so I called on the cute-kitties meme for rescue. The change has been more fun than difficult, but finding the thread to bind my story arc through book four, while keeping each book a separate readable tale, has flummoxed me. The new book is narrated the third person. Until now, my series has been written in the first person. I write a series of novels, and I’ve been struggling with book four. There’s a deeper purpose to Scapple than I’ve seen advertised, and it looks something like this: Is that the rub? If mind mapping turns out to be a matter of deciding on key strokes and color schemes, why bother with software? It certainly doesn’t require a computer that can solve the orbit transfers and interplanetary trajectories of billion-dollar space probes to create thought bubbles. “Scapple is sort of … a big, virtual piece of paper.” Its brilliant developer, Keith Blount, says as much in a 2016 interview with the “Medium”: You can do the same thing the software does (faster) with a wide sheet of paper and your three favorite pens. The question drew some fire and defense, but it left the business of Scapple’s value in the de gustibus non est disputandum state.įive years after beta, Scapple remains pretty much idling in its latest release of version 1.3.1 out in November 2017. The explanation for the slow development of Scapple should be plain. The Literature and Latte forum got prickly over the software two years after its introduction in 2015: “Any hope of some kind of update? New features? Anything?” one user asked. For the sake of disclosure, when I first opened Scapple in 2014, I found it cute and annoying, like kitty memes.Īpparently, I was not alone. Scapple is mind mapping software from the beloved creators of Scrivener, Literature and Latte, released April 23, 2013. It would be Scapple, right? What’s a Scapple? And if you’ve been paying attention to the technical side of the word processing process, that software rake would be obvious to you. It’s the writerly heap of ideas I haul around that require a rake-like tool for story work. When I try envisioning them, I see a collection of gray laundry, or a wild lawn in need of a mower and rake. I’m asking the broader figurative question of what your thoughts look like.Īnswering for myself, I have no idea what my thoughts look like. What do your thoughts look like? No, no, no, not those big little lies trapped between your ears. US novelist and ALLi author member Jeff Shear shares his lightbulb moment of using a third way – mindmapping, using another Literature and Latte product, Scapple. There are many ways for indie authors to plan self-published books, both fiction and non-fiction – from the time-honored index cards spread out on the kitchen table to the high-tech equivalent using Literature and Latte's Scrivener digital corkboard.
