![]() His research should speak for itself – a study on the potential (both negative and positive) of “persuasive technology,” – how technology can be used to change the thoughts and behaviors of people, in the early 1990’s, including the ethics, or lack of, involved. It should be obvious that he knows whereof he speaks. Fogg is a behavior scientist as well as the founder and director of the Stanford Behavior Design Lab. Tiny Habits will help you get where you want to go in life.įollow BJ's advice and you'll feel successful from the get-go.ī.J. (And, I must quickly add, although the author is an Academic, this book doesn't read like it was written by one: It's engaging, anecdote-filled, a fascinating absorbing read from cover to cover.) The only book you’ll ever need to change your habits for good. Unlike most other best-selling books on habits ~ written mainly by bloggers, journalists or social-media ’influencers’, this one is from someone who has given his life to the subject and is a genuine, honest-to-goodness, world-expert. (Yes I'm a fan.)īJ is a research scientist at Stanford University, and it shows, this work is empirically validated, rigorously tested. (I’ve got more of them than Amazon.) Nothing comes close (imho) in terms of simplicity, proven effectiveness, fun and feel-good-factor. I've pretty much read every book on habits and behaviour modification out there. This book is the real-deal in terms of behaviour change. The effect so profound, I actually went on to do a career pivot and trained to be a Tiny Habits coach. It came at a much-needed time in my life. Learning Tiny Habits via BJ Fogg's free 5 day online course, was a game-changer for me. That said, my review here reflects 100% my genuine opinion, feelings and recommendation. Other readers may find that it resonates in a different but equally positive manner.ĭisclaimer: I'm one of the author's certified Tiny Habits coaches. I’m going to rate this 4 stars because I think the overall idea is sound and practical and while this wasn’t the most ideal book for me, I did gain hope and positivity. In the end, I took away something different than I expected yet still motivating and energizing in its own right. I especially enjoyed reading through the “One Hundred Ways to Celebrate and Feel Shine” and “Three Hundred Recipes for Tiny Habits – Fifteen Life Situations and Challenges” sections. The best parts of the book for me were the exercises and the appendixes. This book could appeal to and be used by readers in different ways – you can browse the methodology, exercises, and appendixes to catch the highlights or if you are interested in the author’s thoughts regarding habit formation and behavior, then you can dive in for a deeper read. I did appreciate the simple and memorable ABC technique to focus on establishing new habits, however, for this type of book I am looking for something to quickly get me motivated and energized so I can get out there and start putting the ideas into practice. The examples and exercises were helpful and the fact that the exercises are laid out separately on colorful pages made finding the most helpful info easier when I found myself glossing over the hows and whys of motivation and ability. The book itself felt way too long and I ended up skimming it to get the gist of the actual methodology. ![]() I liked this book, but my biggest criticism is that it’s a simple and empowering idea laid out in a lengthy and more complicated format than it has to be.

So many recipes are made with oat flour nowadays. It’s inexpensive, easy to make, gluten-free, and delicious! It’s a healthy substitute when making pancakes, waffles, muffins, cakes, and lots of other baking recipes. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.There is a reason that oat flour has become popular with cooks around the world. Leftovers can be sliced into wedges, placed in a zip-top bag and frozen.
![]() The following list are examples of words containing "virtual" with links that describe each of the terms. Physical or the real-life is the opposite of virtual. However, special gloves and controllers help give you the sense of the object being touched. Likewise, if an event like a trade show takes place in a virtual venue (one that is created and accessed online), the event is still very real some virtual events have attributes one might expect to find at an in-person event, including swag bags, hour-by-hour agendas, and exclusive opportunities for 1:1 interaction with fellow attendees.Something that is virtual is not physical or cannot by physically touched. Virtual art is a term used for the virtualization of art. In the case of virtual learning, a student s ability to access lessons and assignments online means the virtual classroom by which he or she accesses those lessons does not physically exist, but it does not mean the student s learning is not real. A person can use virtual to mean that something is nearly true, and can be regarded as true. virtual learning, virtual events, virtual meetings), virtual refers to the specific environment in which those activities take place rather than the activities themselves. What does the word virtual mean According to Collins English Dictionary and the American Heritage Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language, the word virtual is an adjective with a couple of different meanings. While virtual is widely used to characterize online activities (e.g. In a more analog example, the metaphysical mind can be considered a virtual brain in that it exists conceptually, but the physical matter is the human brain itself. Virtualization can also mean bringing multiple pieces of hardware together to act as one, as in storage virtualization, and even across geographical distances, as in virtual data centers. ![]() Virtualization is a software version of a physical device – one physical server, for example, can hold a number of virtual servers. Because the technology creates an immersive audio and visual experience, the encounter is realistic, but the user s physical reality does not change. ![]() It is virtually impossible to know the truth of the matter. b : for all practical purposes She was virtually unknown prior to starring in the film. Virtually every applicant was overqualified for the job. Virtual reality describes an artificial environment that is presented to a user through specialized equipment. a : almost entirely : nearly The project is virtually complete. In this context, virtual could be translated as kunwari’y totoo or the Tagalized bertwal. As such its translation in Tagalog would depend on the context of the sentence. But it also runs the risk of gaps in care, overuse of medical care, inappropriate drug use or unnecessary care. However, virtual is also described as almost or nearly as described, but not completely or according to strict definition. While we know that virtual events do not hold the same power of face-to-face interactions, circumstances may necessitate going virtual, sometimes on very short notice. ![]() In closing, adding virtual events as a key digital strategy to your meeting and event program is a good idea. a system to help programmers create virtual. Telehealth has potential for better coordinated care. Virtual Events as Part of Your Meeting and Event Program. (computing) made to appear to exist by the use of computer software, for example on the internet. It can also mean existing in software and not in real life. It is not the same as the real physical memory composed of transistors, so it is considered virtual. Virtual visits can also provide you with the choice to meet with specialists who dont live where you do. Overall, the word virtual means nearly true and as such regarded as true. Virtual memory refers to an imaginary set of locations or addresses, which are converted into real memory addresses when the program or application is executed. The term virtual is used among computer scientists to distinguish something that is merely conceptual from something that has an absolute, physical reality. ![]() After cleaning, it was easy to detach the included mesh bag and remove the leaves and other debris that was collected. This pool cleaner is meant to clean larger debris and we found that it was effective in doing just that. Luckily, it’s a lightweight option that we found easy to use. You’ll also need to attach it to a pole, sold separately, and manually guide the wheeled vacuum through the pool, so it’s ideal for smaller pools. Unlike some other pool cleaners, this model requires you to attach your own hose, which means you need water constantly running. We found it was lightweight and easy to set up and use. Whether you have a smaller pool or are in the market for a less expensive option, this Poolmaster model is the best pool cleaner to consider. It’s also meant to clean larger debris only. To use it you need to attach your own hose, which means you need water constantly running. Product Details: Weight: 13.8 pounds | Cable Length: 50 feet | Pool Length: Up to 33 feet | Filter Type: Top load | Suggested Pool Type: Above-ground, in-ground Overall, however, we would recommend the cleaner. When it comes to this pool cleaner, we noted that the controller had additional buttons and functions that were not applicable to this specific model, like Bluetooth capabilities. Plus, the filter compartment was easy to access and caught pollen and sediment. This pool cleaner was able to remove a basket of leaves with each use. ![]() Our pool is surrounded by a cedar elm tree and bamboo, so we typically have to remove leaves from the pool about once a week. We appreciated that it was lightweight and noted that the built-in handle made it easier to pick up and carry. The pool cleaner, which can be used in either an above-ground or in-ground pool, is just under 14 pounds. Plus, we felt that the ease of use and price made this pick a great value. We appreciated that the robot came pre-assembled, so it was easy to set up and use. Overall, the best pool cleaner is the Dolphin Nautilus CC Automatic Robotic Pool Cleaner. ![]() The controller had additional buttons and functions that were not applicable to this specific model. We also consulted Mark Thompson, owner of Absolute Pool & Spa Care in Atlanta, Georgia, and Brian Wells, a pool expert from Leslie's Pool Supplies in Phoenix, Arizona. Using a predetermined methodology, we evaluated each model based on four categories: design, ease of use, effectiveness, and value. Over the course of two weeks, we tried out their given styles in their pools right at home. To help, we put 19 of the best pool cleaners to the test. With so many options it can be difficult to figure out which is best for your pool size and style. ![]() Some non-robotic cleaners have their own containers, while others use your pool's existing filtration equipment to house debris. While some cleaners are powered by your pool's suction or water pressure, newer robotic cleaners have their own power source and container to avoid straining your pool's existing equipment. Luckily, pool cleaners make it easy to maintain clean waters, so you can swim all season long, whether you're hosting a pool party or taking a solo dip.Īutomatic pool cleaners (or pool vacuums) remove debris from the surface of the pool floor and walls. However, jumping into a puddle of leaves can quickly spoil that refreshing feeling. Almost nothing beats diving into a swimming pool on a sweltering summer day. ![]() Moving furniture (do this yourself and save money) Labor and extra wood-small spaces with intricate corners/angles, floor registers, staircases take more time Removal and disposal of the old floor (Having your contractor dispose of your old flooring material can be a great help.) The average labor cost for installing hardwood floors is $37 per hour plus the contractor’s 15%–20% fee. Solid wood $10 to $18 – Solid wood (nailed or glued) is $10 to $18 per square foot installed. Floating is the most common installation method and involves attaching or clicking the panels, which blocks out moisture. The cost depends on the thickness of the surface veneer. The thickness of solid wood floors ranges from 3/4” to 5/16”.Įngineered wood $6 to $20 – Engineered wood with a float installation is $6 to $20 per square foot. The engineered wood is less costly than the solid version of preferred wood and a common economical alternative to solid wood. You can either use solid wood or engineered wood, which is a layer of your preferred wood (a veneer) over 5–7 sheets of plywood. A popular choice, they are easy to decorate around, since wood colors are considered neutral and pleasing to the eye. ![]() Wood flooring provides a feeling of warmth in a room. The cost of installing hardwood floors in a 330-square foot living room is between $2,640 and $5,280 with the average homeowner paying $3,960. The average cost to install wood flooring is between $8 and $16 per square foot depending on the type. Multiply the total square footage by the cost of material you chooseĪ 330 sqft living room plus a 20’ x 2’ hallway (40 sqft) in engineered wood: For example, if the room is 8’ x 10’, the square footage will be 80 square feet. Measure the width and length of the floor. Flooring that must be trimmed to accommodate floor registers, stairs, pipes, corners, or alcoves will incur waste. Also, the materials you order will be based on square footage, and the installer will give you a price for labor based on square footage plus 10% for fitting and waste. The price for installing any kind of floor is based on square footage. Each type of flooring requires a different method of installation and a knowledgeable flooring contractor. The average cost between all flooring options is $8 per square foot, but your final cost will depend greatly on which flooring option you choose. You may also be interested in eco-friendly options. Flooring Cost Per Square Foot Flooring Installation ![]() The introduction of the new telescoping boom helped to further enhance the excavator's marketability. This makes the operator's overall work easier and likewise saves fuel at the same time.Īs soon as the new XL Series hydraulics reached the market, Gradall was thrust into the very competitive industrial machine market that are meant to deal with demolition, pavement removal, excavating and various industrial tasks. Traditional excavators utilize an operator to be able to choose a working-mode where the Gradall system can automatically adjust the hydraulic power meant for the work at hand. The XL Series hydraulics system was even developed along with a load-sensing capability. These versions were made along with a piston pump, high-pressure hydraulics system that showed immense improvements in boom and bucket breakout forces. The new XL Series Gradall excavators proved a significant increase in their lifting and digging ability. These traditional systems effectively handled finishing work and grading but had a hard time competing for high productivity jobs. The XL Series ended the original Gradall equipment power drawn from gear pumps and low pressure hydraulics. These top-of-the-line hydraulics systems enabled Gradall excavators to provide high productivity and comparable power on a realistic level to traditional excavators. ![]() ![]() The year 1992 marked a crucial year for Gradall with their launch of XL Series hydraulics, the most amazing change in the company's excavators ever since their creation. A cylinder was placed at the back of the boom, powering a long push rod to enable the machinery to be equipped with either a bucket or a blade attachment. What's more, they added a tilt cylinder that let the boom rotate 45 degrees in either direction. Soon improving the first design, the brothers built a triangular boom to add more strength. A telescopic cylinder moved the beams forward and backward which allowed the fixed blade at the end of the beams to pull or push dirt. Their very first design model was a machine with two beams set on a rotating platform which was affixed on top of a used truck. The Ferwerda brothers chose to make an equipment that will save their business by making the slope grading task less manual, easier and more efficient. Partners in a Cleveland, Ohio construction business known as Ferwerda-Werba-Ferwerda, the brothers faced a huge predicament when numerous men left the labor force and joined the military, depleting available workers for the delicate grading and finishing work on highway projects. Throughout the time when World War II caused a scarcity of laborers, the legendary Gradall excavator was founded in the 1940s as the idea of two brothers Ray and Koop Ferwerda. ![]() Within 12 years, the Corps had constructed, and was maintaining and operating, some 4,000 miles of telegraph lines along the country's western frontier. The electric telegraph, in addition to visual signaling, became a Signal Corps responsibility in 1867. ![]() Even in the Civil War the wig-wag system, dependent upon line-of-sight, was waning in the face of the electric telegraph. Myer's Civil War innovations included an unsuccessful balloon experiment at First Bull Run and, in response to McClellan's desire for a Signal Corps field telegraph train, an electric telegraph in the form of the Beardslee magnetoelectric telegraph machine. Some 2,900 officers and enlisted men served, although not at any single time, in the Civil War Signal Corps. Until March 3, 1863, when Congress authorized a regular Signal Corps for the duration of the war, Myer was forced to rely on detailed personnel. Using flags for daytime signaling and a torch at night, wigwag was tested in Civil War combat in June 1861 to direct the fire of a harbor battery at Fort Wool against the Confederate positions opposite Fort Monroe. Major Myer first used his visual signaling system on active service in New Mexico during the 1860-1861 Navajo expedition. When the Army adopted his system on June 21, 1860, the Signal Corps was born with Myer as the first and only Signal Officer. He proposed that the Army use his visual communications system called "wig-wag," or "aerial telegraphy," while serving as a medical officer in Texas in 1856. Early history Ĭlick photo to enlarge for history of the wigwag.Īlbert James Myer, an Army doctor, was the first to conceive of the idea of a separate, trained professional military signal service. They integrate tactical, strategic and sustaining base communications, information processing and management systems into a seamless global information network that supports knowledge dominance for Army, joint and coalition operations. Signal forces plan, install, operate, and maintain voice and data communications networks that employ single and multi-channel satellite, tropospheric scatter, terrestrial microwave, switching, messaging, video-teleconferencing, visual information, and other related systems. Signal support encompasses all aspects of designing, installing, maintaining, and managing information networks to include communications links, computers, and other components of local and wide area networks. Signal support includes Network Operations (information assurance, information dissemination management, and network management) and management of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mission of the Signal Corps is to provide and manage communications and information systems support for the command and control of combined arms forces.
![]() It’s not that Origami King has a particularly deep or interesting story, but that it delivers moments where you actually care about these 2D beings is quite a feat in my book. Again, the real treat here is in the character moments you get out of Olivia and one of the companions in particular. Fairly standard tropes here, the basic gist of which you could probably have guessed after watching the 30 second trailer. Gain all of the cool element powers, unleash all of the streamers and head to the final boss for that streamer. You could probably guess, but the route to the end of the streamer is almost always blocked initially with the Vellumental power of that area being required to get through. When you defeat a Vellumental, Olivia learns how to fold into their shape, unlocking their powers when you find the appropriate symbol to use them. These both feature the same battle system which breaks from that of the typical fights in the game, more on that later. The Vellumentals are origami pieces in the flavor of earth, fire, ice, etc… While the streamer bosses are things like hole punches, tape dispenser, rubber band man, and so on. The basic sequence of events for the majority of the game is 1) find out how to get the next streamer location, 2) defeat the power Vellumental associated with the area, 3) use the Vellumental to help defeat a paper-related streamer boss. The hub of the whole game, Toad Town, is delightfully packed with stores and buildings to explore. ![]() A detour to Peach’s yacht provides a brief highlight, as do a handful of other well designed locales. Shroom City is a desert oasis town which adds bright lights and a fancy hotel in an otherwise sparse world which you travel through primarily via boot car, naturally. They are, typically, quite big and bursting with personality. The locations are one of the strongest aspects of Origami King. You’ve got the desert world, sea, mountain, amusement park, and so on. Their actual utility as a companion and the quality of their story are inversely related throughout the game, outside of Olivia, so enjoy the help or the quality character moments, but not both as you work through the small handful of companions.Īs you might expect, the streamers are spread across various lands so each acts as their own world of sorts. ![]() The one thing most of the characters bring to the table is charm, with some even bringing some surprisingly touching story moments into the fold. Others, such as the early game Bobby, fail more often than not when trying to aid in battle. Some, such as the wizard Kamek, are actually quite helpful in attacking opponents on almost every turn. True, they follow you around and show up in battle, but you have no control over them. You will pick up other companions along the way, but don’t think of them as companions in the RPG sense. Olivia, your partner throughout the game, acts as Mario’s voice and brings along some very strong origami powers which can be triggered on specially marked spots throughout the game. ![]() If the Download link is not working, kindly drop a comment below, so we'll update the download link for you.
