![]() It stands as a poetic paradox: a tranquil digital enclave amidst an ever-buzzing technological landscape. In a world overwhelmed by digital stimuli, e-ink emerges as a serene refuge. Digital Minimalism: A Beacon in Today’s Digital Deluge E-ink, in its timeless elegance, does just that, providing a pristine reading experience that harmoniously fuses the old with the new. So, while LCDs with their rich color displays and swift refresh rates might be ideal for dynamic content like videos, e-ink elegantly carves its niche in the reading realm, making every reading session reminiscent of flipping through the crisp pages of a freshly printed book.įor tech enthusiasts like myself, it’s not just about chasing the next big thing it’s about appreciating technology that resonates with our intrinsic human needs. This leads to devices with e-ink displays often boasting impressive battery lives, sometimes lasting weeks on a single charge. This is what gives it its unparalleled clarity and reduces eye strain, making it especially cherished by voracious readers.įurthermore, e-ink screens consume power only when the display content changes, unlike LCDs that constantly drain energy. Unlike traditional screens that rely on backlighting, e-ink reflects ambient light, mimicking the way we read physical paper. When an electric field is applied, these particles move to the surface, creating patterns that we perceive as text or images. The display comprises millions of tiny microcapsules, each filled with negatively charged black particles and positively charged white particles. Rooted in the early 1970s, its inception was inspired by the idea of replicating the visual aesthetics of ink on paper. You might wonder, “Why would a software engineer, perpetually immersed in cutting-edge tech, be enchanted by e-ink?” The revelation lies in a quest for unblemished simplicity.Į-ink, or ’electronic ink’, is not just another display technology. In a landscape where glaring pixels constantly vie for our attention, e-ink feels like a retreat to a tranquil lakeside haven. ![]() E-Ink: A Harmonious Fusion of Old and NewĮ-ink, with its dignified grace, orchestrates a seamless alliance between the nostalgic charm of print and the wizardry of today’s digital realm. It doesn’t clamor for attention in a crowded room instead, it’s like that introspective individual in the corner, savoring a glass of fine wine. Over my two-decade journey through the tumultuous waters of software engineering, I’ve encountered countless gadgets and technologies. As someone deeply passionate about technology, yet yearning for digital simplicity, a device that naturally adjusts to its surroundings is an absolute gem. Its gentle frontlight felt like a soft nudge from the tech world, saying, “I’ve got your back.” Whether it’s reducing the glare during late-night sessions or seamlessly blending in on a sunny day, e-ink proves its worth in every reading situation. When e-ink came into my life, it was like a breath of fresh air. That was my eureka moment – the realization of e-ink’s promise of endurance and eye comfort. Meanwhile, my neighbor with the e-ink device continued his reading, unperturbed, a soft glow from his device illuminating his page, reminiscent of the gentle light of a bedtime lamp. As hours ticked by, the lady’s tablet died, a casualty to the high-energy demands of LCD screens. To my right, a gentleman calmly reading an e-book on his e-ink reader. ![]() To my left, a lady engrossed in a vibrant action-packed game on her LCD tablet, the colors vivid but harsh on the eyes in the dimly lit cabin. Several years ago, on a flight back from a tech conference, I found myself sandwiched between two fellow travelers. ![]() It’s pretty clear: me and traditional screens? We have our ups and downs.

![]() Just about every element takes longer to describe than it should, and seems written for lawyers rather than regular users. ZenMate's main website is straightforward, but poking around in the darker corners – in particular, the privacy policy and terms of service pages – revealed some of the most brain-numbingly over-complicated legalese we've ever seen. And even after you've handed over your cash, you're further protected by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Whatever you choose, the company gives you a seven-day free trial to test the service before you get billed, which is very unusual these days. ZenMate Pro for Browsers is certainly cheap, at just $5.99 billed monthly, $3.19 on the six-month plan, or $1.99 if you pay for a year up-front. This won't allow you to protect other app traffic, but if you're only interested in unblocking websites, or you do pretty much everything in your browser, anyway, it might be good enough. A handful of companies are even cheaper - Ivacy's five-year deal is currently $1.16 a month - but ZenMate does better than most.Ī second ZenMate Pro for Browsers plan, as you might guess, gives you the browser extensions only, but with access to the full ZenMate network, and streaming support. Clearly, the company is doing its best to direct you towards the long-term plan, but it seems unfair to complain about that when the price is so low. Sign up for one year and ZenMate charges $53.88 up-front sign up for three years and it charges $59. This is a slightly strange pricing structure, especially if you look at the plan totals. If you're thinking that's a little more than you'd like to pay, no problem: ZenMate's three-year plan is considerably cheaper at a tiny $1.64 a month. ![]() There's no six-month ZenMate VPN Ultimate plan any more, and annual prices are now an effective $4.49 a month, up from $3.33 during our last review. But if you're thinking that's a little more than you'd like to pay, no problem: ZenMate's three-year plan is considerably cheaper at a tiny $1.64 a month. ZenMate pricing starts at $10.99 billed monthly, within the typical $10-$13 range we see with most providers.Īnnual prices are fractionally below average at $4.49. But there is some good news in the arrival of WireGuard on Android. As we write, the iOS app hasn't been updated since 2019, for instance. ZenMate hasn't exactly been piling on the new features recently. One main benefit of using ZenMate VPN is its ability to provide 100% encrypted, secure and anonymous browsing across a global network of high-speed servers.Even better, you can set up and use the service on as many devices as you need - ZenMate doesn't have any annoying connection limits. For the lucky MAC owners, ZenMate is built into Maxton Cloud browser. Comodo Dragon, SRWare Iron and Opera 15+ browsers have added to the list. ![]() Now ZenMate works not only with GoogleChrome and Chromium. In the latest versions, ZenGuard developers have extended the range of application compatibility. Encrypted traffic ensures surfing security and complete confidentiality. The service provides connection to high-speed VPN network servers worldwide. The product is characterized by a convenient interface and ease of use. Additional bonus: the service provides protection of information from curious eyes when using Wi-Fi connection for public networks, removes geographical restrictions. As a VPN service, ZenMate passes all traffic through the server, providing 100% encryption and hiding the IP address. The program is easy to integrate into Google Chrome and provides complete protection for your Internet activity. Essentially, ZenMate is the only embedded application that provides encryption for Internet traffic. The uniqueness of the project is that VPN services usually exist as separate standalone applications, while ZenMate is an extension that can be integrated into a browser. ZenMate is a unique service, which is a convenient VPN extension for browsers. ![]() ![]() Eccentric interventions for lateral epicondylalgia. Have you performed these exercises with your patients with tennis elbow? Have any others that would help? Share your comments and exercises below so we can all take a swing at managing tennis elbow pain! Each eccentric contraction should endure approximately 4–6 seconds without variation in speed throughout the repetition.Each exercise session should consist of one wrist supination and one wrist extension exercise for 2 sets of 10 repetitions each. ![]() Perform eccentric exercises three times per week with 24–48 hours between bouts of eccentric work to allow for proper recovery.The article recommended these eccentric exercise parameters: Tyler Twist for Tennis Elbow using the TheraBand Flexbar Photo Courtesy of Kenas A et al. *For pictures and step-by-step exercise instructions on eccentric exercises for tennis elbow, view the article.

Kenas and his collagues outlined five exercises in the article, and the parameters to perform the exercises in: At the conclusion of the experiment, the eccentric group had significantly less pain, mitigated bilateral strength deficits, improved homogenous tendon integrity (e.g., showed evidence of pathology resolution), and improved disability status when compared with the control group.” Eccentric exercises for tennis elbow performed an intervention study on 92 patients…. “Moreover, a randomized control trial by Svernlov and Adolfsson found that regardless of the duration of symptoms, the most effective therapeutic intervention for lateral epicondylalgia is eccentric training." ![]() (By the way, “tendinopathy” is a newer term for “tendonitis”): Why are eccentric exercises the answer? When utilized at the appropriate time, studies have shown that eccentric exercises are a key component to tendinopathy rehabilitation. With a high prevalence rate and an even higher recurrence rate, (1 in 4 will get it again!) the need for effective treatments options is a pressing issue for therapists and athletic trainers everywhere.
Malee, who’s of Thai, Spanish and Native American descent, had studied Spanish at a summer program there. After about six months there, they moved to Spain, first to Granada and eventually to Madrid. In 2015, the two cofounded Sharp Type in their New York City apartment. I could explore the beauty of that without having to be pulled into a teacher’s or a client’s expectations-a niche within this larger world.” -Lucas Sharp Type design returned me to working with raw counterforms, negative and positive space, and playing with form. I think we both realized what we brought to the table. “But it was a big leap of faith for both of us,” she says, “because living together is already a when you’re young-and then deciding to run a business out of your one-bedroom apartment?”īoth Sharp and Malee laugh, and then she resumes: “But really, it evolved very quickly into something serious. On the other side, Malee was looking for an opportunity to begin a business of her own. He had been building up a library of fonts and was looking for a partner who would take on the responsibilities of project and foundry management. It was when Malee and Sharp had moved in together and several years had passed when Sharp came up with a business proposal. He would eventually intern at Darden Studio and then continue to work as a freelance type designer there. “Joshua was a window into the world of type design, and I just soaked it up,” Sharp recalls. “Also, just like everything in life,” he continues, “I had a really good teacher.” Joshua Darden, founder of New York–based foundry Darden Studio, mentored Sharp in type design while teaching as an adjunct professor at Parsons. I could explore the beauty of that without having to be pulled into a teacher’s or a client’s expectations-a niche within this larger world. “Type design returned me to working with raw counterforms, negative and positive space, and playing with form. ![]() ![]() “I’d always been a student of form,” he says. “That economic impetus pushed me toward commercial arts with the idea to not take on some student debt.” However, Sharp’s studies left him wanting a more fundamentally creative practice. “I came from a fine arts background, but both of my parents were kind of starving-artist types,” he explains. Growing up in a very entrepreneurial family, my end goal was to be an entrepreneur.” Upon graduating, Malee scored her first job as a project manager at Love & War, a boutique branding agency in New York City, and eventually became a senior project manager.Īt the same time, Sharp attended Parsons for the communication design program. “You basically take a lot of graphic design and design theory classes as well as standard business courses. “It was kind of what it sounds like,” she explains. Partners in life as well as in business, the two met at Parsons School of Design in New York City, where Malee received a bachelor’s in business from the university’s design and management program. They also travel back to Newport, Rhode Island, where Malee grew up, to be near her family. Currently, the cofounders live most of the time in Marin, California, where they’re closer to Sharp’s family. With no concrete physical location as of this interview-Malee and Sharp opened a New York City office months before the COVID-19 pandemic and have since closed it-the foundry comprises a full-time team of seven across multiple time zones. I’m tempted to describe Sharp Type as a collective more than a traditional foundry. Chantra Malee, chief executive officer and cofounder,Īnd Lucas Sharp, type director and cofounder. Chantra Malee Montoya-Pimolwatana and Lucas Sharp, cofounders of Sharp Type, know this all too well, which is why with their business ethos and The Malee Scholarship-their nonprofit that supports female type designers from underrepresented ethnic groups in the industry-they’re introducing more designers to the world of typography and helping them hurdle the discipline’s barriers to entry. ![]() To pursue typography as a practice, designers must first overcome multiple barriers, including money, tools and education. ![]() 【Note】Neutral wire is required in your switch boxes to operate correctly only supports 2.4 GHz network (Not 5 GHz) offers easy pairing via WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity Not Dimmer Switch.【Remote Control】Reinsert new features into upgraded Smart Life Tuya App like ON/OFF relay status as remember last status when power off and backlight switch setting compatible with Alexa and Google Home for hands-free voice control can also be controlled via Smart Life/Tuya app anytime, anywhere.1.【Note】This smart switch requires a neutral wire in your switch boxes to operate correctly.Requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network connection.Only compatible with 1 gang switch box,not compatible with standard US 2/3/4 gang switch plate.2.【Ultimate Beauty】Ingenuity design assures highly texture beauty ,Toughened Glass Surface Prevents the scratch from knives or something hard,dampproof available for humid operation.3.【Voice control】Once you have this switch,you can connect it with Amazon Alexa (Amazon Echo/dot/tap) or Google Assistant for voice control.4.【Wi-Fi Remote Control】You can use 'Smart Life' app(APP Store or Google Play) in your smart phone to control the wall switch wirelessly with Wi-Fi or 4G network.no hub required.(Press any Key of the device for 20 seconds untill light flashes indicating a successful reset).5.【Timing Function】Take full control of your home or office lights thanks to the schedule timer that will allow you to plan the exact time to turn lights and appliances on/off automatically.countdown options.Ĥ.Note:This smart switch requires a neutral wire in your switch boxes to operate correctly.Requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network connection,MOES suggests you purchase and replace both switches in your 3-Way switch installation.Due to varied wiring applications in homes,in most installations need only one MOES smart switch to operate satisfactorily. 3.Control From Anywhere:Control your Lights with the FREE mobile "SMART LIFE" phone app (Compatible with Android & iOS)ģ.Timer Function:Take full control of your Home&Office lights.The App's timer feature enables 7 day programmable schedules that will allow you to plan the exact time to turn lights/fan on or off automatically.Auto on/off features provides your choice of 1min/5min/30min/1hour etc. Ģ.Hands-Free Voice Control:Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for easy voice control.

![]() ![]() As new techniques are learned, and more people gain access to them, it makes everyone a little bit better, but it also makes rank resets, and maybe even ranks themselves, a little less logical. If more players keep joining then the ranks should keep changing too, but it’s a hard thing to balance when the general skill level in the game keeps improving too. Ranks in Rocket League aren’t static they’re meant to be a reflection of where you sit compared to everyone else. It’s easy to see why hard resets aren’t used anymore, but it’s got us wondering if rank resets and those placement matches are still doing what they’re meant to be doing. That means that you’re likely going to have an easy time beating down players of a lower rank than you, but it also means you could end up paired up with actual Bronze players in your placement matches and that you could be up against a team of SSLs. Now imagine you’d managed that and went into the next season believing all of that, but instead of being placed one rank down, you and everyone else were placed into Bronze 3. You know that those first ten games reward you with a larger amount of MMR per win, so you’re confident you’ll be able to up your rank or do a little better next season, even if they do place you lower at the start of it. Imagine if you had finally worked your way up to Diamond, or Platinum, or even SSL, and you were riding high on that feeling ahead of the next reset. For starters, while Rocket League now uses soft rank resets, which is where you get put back a rank or so prior to your placement games, the original Season 3 actually did a hard reset, where everyone was plopped down to nothing. See, back then, things were very different. While he does touch on the most recent rank reset, the video actually mainly focuses on the original Season 3 in Rocket League. One quit per day will be allowed as the forfeit feature will be incorporated to provide the players with a fair cop-out without disrupting the session for the rest of the players.The video in question comes from Wayton Pilkin. (Picture: Epic Games)Īnother minor change that will alter the online player experience will be the penalization of leaving casual matches in order to better the gameplay and match flow and avoid insta-quits and/or bot-filled lobbies that drove people away in the past. These restrictions are thought to be getting implemented to several other playlists but not until Season 4 is officially over as to not disrupt the campaign’s rank reset and ranking system. Likely, the Rocket League Discord server will be stormed with rocketeers scrambling for similarly ranked teammates as the restrictions will be breaking up long-time parties that, intentionally or not, ruined the solo queuing fun for our lone third man. The change is made in order to create a “better competitive experience for those solo queuing in 3v3” and whilst smurfing will not be eradicated from that playlist with these new restrictions, it is the biggest step, so far, the developers have taken to combat the issue.

Everything Rocket League Trading, Daily Item Shops & Ranks/Stats 268001. The undersized party rank restrictions will only go into effect for the 3v3 standard ranked playlist and scheduled tournaments. Note: RL Trading Post does not own any items or material in Rocket League. “This is so the third teammate that is found via matchmaking will join a team that is roughly the same rank as their teammates.” It is worth noting several asterisks to the change, for example, that it “does not take Rank Divisions into account”, meaning that we could still queue with our corresponding rank in Division IV who’s partied up with someone three ranks below in Division I. “Players who queue in ranked playlists in an undersized party (a party of two players in competitive 3v3 standard, or a party of two players joining a 3v3 standard tournament) will have to be within three ranks of each other in order to queue”, Epic Games and Psyonix stated in the press release. The restrictions are in direct correlation to the removal of the Solo Standard playlist, which happened when the car soccer title went free-to-play back in September 2020, where previously two-man parties were unable to break the experience of a solo queuing rocketeer. ![]() ![]() Allow treats to set up and cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (the shortening will be resistant to setting up at room temperature). I find it easiest to balance the discs with two forks, that way the chocolate can drain off through the tines. Dip discs into chocolate one by one, and let chocolate drain off over the bowl, before returning coated discs to a parchment-lined tray. Note - I find it easier and more convenient to melt half chocolate and shortening now, and after it's been used, heat the remainder that way chocolate stays warm, smooth, and easier to work with. Heat in 15-second bursts, stopping to check and stir after each, until chocolate can be stirred smooth. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and shortening (helps chocolate stay much smoother and for a longer period and highly recommend), and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute. Place discs on prepared baking sheet sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and allow them to firm up for at least 2 hours, or overnight, before dipping them in chocolate. The batter will be warm but cool enough to handle easily if yours is too warm, wait until it cools sufficiently to handle it to shape the discs. Spray your hands with cooking spray or grease them with butter and form 3-inch diameter discs that are about 1-inch tall (I made 11). While the mixture is still nice and hot, add the cereal and stir to combine, mixture will cool down and firm up quickly. Marshmallows will swell and puff and after about 2 minutes of intermittent heating, they should be sufficiently soft enough to stir into the butter-caramel mixture. Add the marshmallows and heat to melt them, about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to check and stir to combine. Stir the butter and caramel together to combine the butter will pool and may be difficult to incorporate and it's okay if there's some pooling. This can be considered as two exercises combined and performed together to derive maximum benefit for the core muscles. Add the butter to the caramels, and heat on high power to melt the butter, about 1 minute. With the starfish crunch, both spinal flexion and trunk rotation occur simultaneously. ![]() As long as they're softened and somewhat melted, that's fine. The caramels don't melt into a smooth, thin sauce like caramel ice cream sauce instead they're the consistency of natural peanut butter that's a bit loose and oily. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the caramel bits (already unwrapped and convenient or use regular caramels, probably 30 to 40+ unwrapped don't use caramel ice cream sauce because it's too thin) and microwave on high power to soften and melt, about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to check and stir.

Steps To Track a Package Using UPSĪdditionally, it is compatible with the vast majority of eCommerce platforms. These two things play a vital role from pickup through delivery.
