Jenn im book report12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() I have no idea where I'd drive it, but I imagine somewhere green and quiet. Although for years now I have been nurturing an ambition to own and live in one of these. I've forgiven you being on the wrong side of the Pennines, but have you ever thought of living anywhere else? BB: There's a very definite northern feel to the book.The whole idea of 'sympathetic' characters is a bit strange to me. And as a reader, I don't need to like a character to want to spend time with them - people in conflict with their world, with themselves are very engaging to spend time with. Writing a 'likeable' character might make my novels appeal to a different set of readers, but I'd feel like it was an incomplete portrayal. I just don't think anyone is pure good or pure bad. It's the same in my first novel, A Kind of Intimacy, and the same in the one I am writing now. ![]() Did you think it was a bit of a risk having three main characters, none of whom were all that sympathetic? Human nature obviously doesn't change all that much. BB: The characters of the three teenage girls in Cold Light – Chloë, Emma and Lola – rang so true that I was taken back to my teenage years.I hope none of my characters are heroes or villains, because it isn't like that in real life - we're all capable of surprising ourselves with the good and bad things we do, I think most unsettling acts have a logic behind them and I want my books to reflect that. I wonder if that means authors of unsettling books are less likely to do unsettling things? I'm not sure I buy into that theory and I'm not sure if I'd see my books as dealing entirely with the darker side of life and unpleasant kinds of people. JA: P.D James said recently that writing books about violence and murder was a way of containing the horror of these events - both in the outside world and the propensity for performing them in each of us. How does a nice girl like you think up a plot like that? BB: Cold Light is an unsettling psychological thriller.My readers, I think, are probably a very disparate group of people from the crime-thriller and lit-fic ends of the spectrum. Although I am, when structuring a story and making decisions about character, writing for someone who likes the same kind of books as I do - a reader who wants to be entertained as much as they want to be challenged. Jenn Ashworth: When I'm writing, I try not to imagine my readers at all. Bookbag: When you close your eyes and imagine your readers, who do you see?.Thankfully, Jenn was ready to talk to us. She met Jenn a few months ago and really wanted to know how a nice girl like Jenn could think up a plot like that. Sue loved Jenn's latest book, Cold Light. ![]()

Venmo buy crypto12/15/2023 ![]() Here are some steps that you can follow in Venmo to go through the trading process in the Venmo app. The feature of buying crypto on Venmo has completely supported the entire digital structure because many users that use Venmo on regular basis can become potential investors in the digital zone, thus increasing the business. You can easily buy the amount of crypto required after paying a suitable fee. ![]() Apart from making payments, there is a facility for buying cryptocurrency on Venmo as well. Also, if one wants to get the transaction completed instantaneously, it charges a nominal fee for that purpose. The payment gets deducted from one’s credit card and charged to it after incurring a 3% fee. In other types of payment applications payments usually get deducted from someone's bank account or debit card but in Venmo, it's completely different. When Venmo was introduced it was a free-to-use application based on a P2P form of network. Venmo is a payment application that is available both to Android as well as iPhone users. Be it making payments or anything related to finance has switched to digital. In the digital zone, everything has gone digital. If you are interested in bitcoin trading you should know that you can use your android phone for mining Crypto. In this article, we are going to discuss the same in the aspect of Venmo, a popular digital platform for buying cryptocurrencies. So he needs a platform where he can make exchanges and gains. Now, cryptocurrency has become an essential part of someone’s life that has engrossed him in the world of crypto. Not only this but the scope and reach of common masses to smartphones and other smart gadgets also paved the way to gain popularity and other facts supporting its existence. So, bitcoin was the parent father of all the revolutionary that we experience in currency time in the digital zone. A decade earlier some group or an anonymous programmer did a fantastic job of inventing an alternate form of payment that was named Bitcoin. When cryptocurrency started from scratch and started its journey from scratch, no one could have imagined anything the class is experiencing. The figures supporting the same are quite good and impressive. (Reporting by Anna Irrera editing by Barbara Lewis)ĭon’t miss out on ET Prime stories! Get your daily dose of business updates on WhatsApp.Cryptocurrency has changed the system and traditions of buying and trading traditionally. "Our goal is to provide our customers with an easy-to-use platform that simplifies the process of buying and selling cryptocurrencies and demystifies some of the common questions and misconceptions that consumers may have," Darrell Esch, Venmo senior vice president and general manager, said.Ĭrypto on Venmo is enabled through PayPal's partnership with Paxos Trust Company, a regulated provider of cryptocurrency products and services. More than 30% of Venmo customers have purchased crypto or equities, 20% of which started buying during the pandemic, the 2020 Venmo Customer Behavior Study found. Other financial technology startups popular with young consumers, such as broker Robinhood also allow crypto buying and selling. Square Inc's rival Cash App, which has allowed cryptocurrency purchases since 2018, has seen user growth boom over the last year. ![]()

Permutation12/15/2023 ![]() So let's tie this back into distributing over never. Minor Primer on Distributive Conditional Types (Click me)īasically, TypeScript sees this: T extends U ? X : Y and when provided with a type argument where T = 'A' | 'B' it gets "distributed" and resolved as (A extends U ? X : Y) | (B extends U ? X : Y). TypeScript does an interesting thing when unpacking generics into conditionals: it distributes them. Well, it turns out T extends never doesn't work when T = never but not because of anything to do with the conditional. " boolean is not assignable to parameter of type never"? But.the parameter should only be true | false right? If T extends never it should be true and if T extends never is not the case, it should be false, right? I totally stole the idea of the example I'm explaining hereĪnywho, here is what we might create on our first pass:ĪssertNever ( true ) // ^^^^ TS Error (2345) // Argument of type 'boolean' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'. Just roll with it, OK? Wanna know a juicy secret? (Click me) You might want to use it to check some weird types you are building or something. This function would be used for checking to make sure a type is.well. Imagine you want to make a function called: assertNever. It makes sense eventually, so just bear with me. That my friends is a "feature" of TypeScript. What in the bowels of 16-bit hell is that? Glad you asked. #614 (comment) Excellent Chinese translation by (Click me) Don't worry I'll break it all down weird piece, by weird piece □ TLDR by (Click me) ![]() ![]() : never type Permuted = Permutation // | ![]()

Dwarf fortress nobles room12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() The first option is to leave the position vacant if you decide against assigning it, the dwarves below this are ordered in terms of how many relevant skills they have so if you move down with any luck you have a dwarf with some sort of organisational skill. This lists all the potential noble positions available within your fortress, I will explain each of these nobles as we encounter them, for now use the arrow keys to move down to the vacant manager position and press enter to take you to a list of your dwarves. Make sure you pause the game to set this up, means you don’t have to worry about keeping an eye on things in the meantime. Nobles – ManagerĪt this point in dwarf fortress I like to setup a manager, this noble will become an important part of your game by effectively working as your assistant to help you dish out queue commands that you submit to them. Scroll through each of the seasons and make sure that you have one of them highlighted for each season or your dwarves simply won’t plant anything and you will have to go without! Press ESC to accept the changes and as soon as you are un-paused and a dwarf with a farming skill is free they will set to work. Hopefully you have at least strawberries and prickle berries available, using the usual scroll keys (Shift + + and the – key) move down to either and press enter to select. At the top of the building frame you will see a list of different things you can plant here, using the a, b, c and d keys you can switch between the different seasons. Press q and move the cross over the farm (assuming it has now been successfully built). Remember that farm plot you placed a little while ago? Its not doing anything, lets get it setup. Time to go back and start working on our fairly pathetic fortress some more. Hopefully you also understand the skill system after the previous post. By now you should have a resonable grasp on how to place buildings in dwarf fortress, even if you don’t really understand what they all do, how to designate areas and also how to create stockpiles. ![]()

Gridlock movie laemmle12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() Now that most sales companies and buyers see where the marketplace is going they can anticipate the future, they can make production decisions today with confidence that the film's done in eighteen months. They come here when it's finished and find out the marketplace changed. You have films that were made a few years ago, anticipating the marketplace would be a certain way. ![]() Sometimes there are discounts because a store guessed wrong on a style or bought too many. Just like everything sells in a department store if it's priced right. All films will sell if they're priced right. Those films have missed the marketplace in terms of pricing the film properly. Because of this, many films we're seeing here were washed out of the process because they were packaged a few years ago, which was a different marketplace then. So they're more confident in making offers to cover a longer period of time because they have a sense of where that is. ![]() They can see where this is going to land, what the values are going to be, what they can and can't get out of subscription versus on demand and all the other mediums. What we're seeing now is while the change is not complete, the buyers can now see over the horizon. So, yes they'd continue to buy films but they'd be very cautious with their offers. When uncertainty came along the buyers became very risk adverse. If you know what the marketplace will be you can plan ahead and make offers appropriately. If someone says, “We don't know how the weather is, what do I pack for my trip? Well, I can't pack everything so maybe I don't take the trip.” So, if you know what the weather is you can plan ahead. If things are certain, like if you know it's going to be raining for the next week you know to carry a jacket or an umbrella. Business hates uncertainty because you don't know when to take risk. This created uncertainty for the buyers who were coming in and buying all rights for their country. All those cable networks and stations had to switch to something new because they don't play movies anymore, everything's available on subscription. As subscription services were built that whole syndication piece disappeared. A decade ago a buyer of a film in Italy could forecast what the cycle of syndication was worth fifteen years out and they would put that into their ultimate estimated value. As Netflix and subscription services around the world continued to grow the value of syndication in film started to tank and disappear. WOLF: I tend to take a long view as opposed to just how things are going this week. Vanessa McMahon: This is an interesting year in distribution, right? What's the general feeling at this market in light of The Weinstein Company falling apart and other distribution companies struggling against Netflix etc.? ![]()

Netgear genie for windows 7 cnet12/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The Centria's USB ports can also be used to host printers. You can use the router's USB ports and this SD card slot to host storage for the network. There is only one other router I know on the market also offering an SD card slot and USB 3.0, which is the D-Link DIR-857. This is the first router from Netgear that comes with an SD card slot and USB 3.0. There's a second USB 3.0 port on the side of the router, where you'll also find its SD card slot. It also has a USB 3.0 port, a power button, and a reset button that brings the router back to factory default settings. This is a good thing it means you're guaranteed to have a fast wired network. On the back, the router has four LAN ports and one WAN port, and all of them are Gigabit Ethernet. In fact, you can't plug in the power cable or network cable without lifting the router up or tilting it to the side, and even then, those with big hands will have trouble with this simple task. In fact, you might also wish that the base wasn't there at all, because together with the bulky part of the hard-drive bay it makes the router's ports and button on its back very hard to reach. From a placement point of view, there's no reason why you'd want to take this base off it doesn't make sense to place the router any other way and you can't mount it on a wall, either. The base and the bulky part of the drive bay make it hard to reach the router's ports on the back. The good thing is you won't need to install a hard drive very often. ![]() It was hard to pinpoint the exact problem, but the drive bay is rather flimsy and things seem too easily pushed into a slightly wrong position. The router takes about a minute to fully boot up, and in my trials, I had to do this about three times before it finally recognized the hard drive. The only way to find out is to turn the router on and wait to see if the hard-drive status light is on. While you can easily remove or install a hard drive, it's not easy to know if the drive is properly inserted, or if the drive bay lock is in its proper place. While this hard-drive support is acceptable, the router's drive bay could use some improvement. Also note that though the router does work with hard drives larger than 2TB, it will only recognize about 2.1TB at most, so you probably won't want to use a hard drive larger than 2TB with it. If you choose to use the router to format the drive, or if you buy the router with a drive included, however, the drive will be formatted in a non-Windows or -Mac-friendly file system, presumably Linux. In the latter case, you can actually use an NTFS-formatted (Windows) hard drive with existing data with the router and immediately share information stored on it. You can buy the Netgear Centria with a hard drive already installed (WNRD4720) or you can get the version with an empty bay (WNDR4700) and install your own hard drive. The reason for the extra thickness is that the Centria comes with a drive bay to host a 3.5-inch standard hard drive as its internal storage. In fact, apart from being slightly thicker, it looks exactly the same. The Netgear Centria shares the same design as the Netgear R6300 and resembles a very shallow CRT monitor. And if you're just looking for a great N900 router, also check out those on this top five list. Networking storage buffs might find some of these routers better deals, however. That said, like the recently reviewed My Net N900 Central, the new Netgear Centria will still make a great replacement for your Time Capsule. ![]()

![]() And being the more meticulous/detailed biographer/historian of the New Testament, it's unlikely he would record an insignificant detail such as this twice, each instance so close one to the other. Luke sees something significant in this otherwise insignificant detail, especially since he specifies Mary specifically each time as the one who does this contemplation. And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace with God and men.Ĭlearly, St. And his mother kept all these words in her heart. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. ![]() And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business? And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. And seeing him, they wondered. And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions. And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him. And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance. And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast, and having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem and his parents knew it not. And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.Īnd the child grew, and waxed strong, full of wisdom and the grace of God was in him. But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart. And all that heard, wondered and at those things that were told them by the shepherds. ![]() And seeing, they understood of the word that had been spoken to them concerning this child. And they came with haste and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying:Īnd it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. And the angel said to them: Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them and they feared with a great fear. If it had appeared just once, or perhaps even in completely separate chapters (or chapter-sized portions of his Gospel, since they were not original to the texts), it would seem a passing detail (albeit still strange enough to be significant, in my opinion), but Luke goes to the pains of recording it twice (and only about Mary, even though in the immediate contexts, the things to be "" are not only known or revealed to her, making it seem mas though Luke were conveying something specific about Mary, or the special way in which it related to her:Īnd there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock. Luke gave the most attention to Mary's story than the other Gospels, but what in particular is he trying to convey by recording Mary's "pondering" certain 'revelations' in her heart twice? ![]() |
