5/18/2023 0 Comments Notational velocity for windowsMore details in the comments for how something like that can happen. Update: I disabled “Enable Markdown Completion” by accident – Brett was so nice to point it out to me. Bold and Italic are macros that are mapped to Brett Terpstra’s Markdown Service Tools services. I only write in Markdown so I don’t need nvALT’s rich text formatting capabilities. Set f to (homeDir & "Dropbox:Notes:" & p & ".md") as alias set f to POSIX file (homeDir & "Dropbox/Notes/" & p & ".md") as alias Set homeDir to (path to home folder from user domain as Unicode text) Set p to value of text field 1 of group 1 of tool bar 1 of window 1 This macro has an AppleScript behind it which opens the note in nvALT wether you selected it in the list or currently in editing mode (– I’m terribly sorry that I can’t find the source of this script anymore): tell application "System Events" to tell process "nvALT" Open Document in Marked.app is already in my editors palette, but since it’s such a great application it deserves an extra hot key. This helps me maintain a certain level of consistency all over my system, just like the ctrl-opt-` shortcut which I mentioned in other posts and which always triggers an app specific palette to show up. In almost all apps that have a drawer or can switch between a dual pane mode I’ve mapped this shortcut to trigger that behavior. I choose cmd-opt-S because I’m used to it from the Finder. Toggle Notes List is a macro that shows or hides the notes list in nvALT in case I need to view or edit a larger note and don’t feel like switching to another app. I changed Export Note to something else because I use a Keyboard Maestro palette as a kind of sequential hotkey (just like what Apptivate does) to let me choose from an array of editors. Update: You can download the color scheme for the Apple Color Picker along with the Byword theme for Markdown previews here In addition I only use tags in my notes and disabled the official, OpenMeta, tag view.įoreground Text (Andale Mono, 13): #ebe7e3 I have set note previews to ‘hidden’ because I like the impression of the list view giving me a more simplistic overview. The vertical layout makes nvALT feel like one is using a magical really narrow all-in-one plain text manager – I enjoy it even more on my 11” MacBook Air where there isn’t too much screen real estate available. Unlike in the screen shot, I have it setup to use the maximal vertical space on my screen so that the windows stretches from top to bottom. I’m a fan of the vertical layout – that’s what has drawn my into using Notational Velocity years ago in the first place. So, if you just started using nvALT I suggest you read Michael Schechter’s “Moving Your Notes From Simplenote to Dropbox”, and, if you are looking for more tips and trick on how to enhance nvALT probably the best source is Gabe Weatherhead’s Nerdquery. This post isn’t a review, it’s just a short piece on how I’ve setup my nvALT. It’s the application I use to capture most of my thoughts. It holds all my lists, TaskPaper to-do’s, references and ideas. 5/18/2023 0 Comments Mad max imdbSprog is killed instantly, while a comatose Jessie is brought to the ICU, where she is expected to succumb to her injuries.ĭriven into a rage by the loss of his family, Max dons his police uniform and takes the black Pursuit Special without authorisation to pursue and eliminate the gang. Jessie grabs Sprog and runs down the road until the gang catches up and runs them over. May helps Jessie free the boy and the trio escapes in the van, but it soon breaks down. The gang follows and chases Jessie through the woods, and they capture Sprog while Max is off looking for them. She escapes, and the family flees to a remote farm owned by an elderly friend, May Swaisey. When they stop to fix the spare tyre, Jessie takes Sprog to get ice cream and is molested by Toecutter and his gang. Fifi convinces him to take some time off and think it over, so Max goes on a trip in his panel van with his wife, Jessie, and infant son, "Sprog" (Australian slang for a child). Toecutter urges, and then forces, a reluctant Johnny to throw a match into the wreck of the ute, burning Goose alive.Īfter seeing Goose's charred body in the hospital ICU, Max informs Fifi that he is resigning from the MFP to save what is left of his sanity. On the way, Johnny throws a brake drum through his windshield, and he crashes again. Dazed, but uninjured, Goose borrows a ute to haul his bike back to MFP headquarters. While Goose visits a nightclub in the city that night, Johnny sabotages his police motorbike, causing it to lock up at high speed the next day and launch Goose off the road. No witnesses appear in court and Johnny is deemed mentally unfit to stand trial, however, so, against Goose's furious objections, he is released into Bubba's custody. Max and fellow officer Jim "Goose" Rains arrest Toecutter's young protégé, Johnny the Boy, at the scene. A young couple attempts to escape, but the gang destroys their car and rapes them. Nightrider's motorbike gang, which is led by Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti, run riot in a town, vandalising property, stealing fuel, and terrorising the populace. A conversation between Max's superior, Captain Fred "Fifi" Macaffee, and Police Commissioner Labatouche reveals the Pursuit Special was authorised to bribe Max, who is becoming weary of police work, into staying on the force. Nightrider is able to elude the MFP until the organisation's top pursuit man, Max Rockatansky, manages to break his concentration and steer him into a roadblock, resulting in a fiery crash that kills both Nightrider and his girlfriend.Īt the MFP garage, Max is shown his new police car: a specially-built supercharged V8-powered black Pursuit Special. In a near-future dystopian Australia that is facing a breakdown of civil order primarily due to widespread oil shortages, berserk motorbike gang member Crawford "Nightrider" Montazano kills a rookie officer of the poorly-funded Main Force Patrol (MFP)-one of the last remaining law enforcement agencies-and escapes with his girlfriend in the dead officer's Pursuit Special. In 2020, a fifth film, to be titled Furiosa, was announced. The film became the first in the Mad Max series, giving rise to three sequels: Mad Max 2 (1981), Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and Fury Road (2015). The success of Mad Max has been credited for further opening up the global market to Australian New Wave films. Filmed on a budget of A$400,000, it earned more than US$100 million worldwide in gross revenue and set a Guinness record for most profitable film. The film initially received a polarized reception upon its release in April 1979, although it won four AACTA Awards. Principal photography for Mad Max took place in and around Melbourne and lasted for six weeks. James McCausland and Miller wrote the screenplay from a story by Miller and Kennedy. Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Tim Burns, and Roger Ward also star. Mel Gibson stars as "Mad" Max Rockatansky, a police officer turned vigilante in a near-future Australia in the midst of societal collapse. Mad Max is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller and produced by Byron Kennedy. 5/18/2023 0 Comments Shutterbug washington square"People are surprised when a police officer asks them to move along." "Does this mean that NPS officers have been trained to discern a professional from a next-door neighbor who happens to be a shutterbug?"Īctually, officers have always checked for permits at photo shoots, even when those permits were free. "There's no public display, distribution or profit," he says. Professional wedding photographer Matt Mendelsohnbristles at the notion that his photo shoots are "commercial" simply because he's getting paid. "There's an impact on park resources, and ultimately the taxpayer has been paying for that." Some wedding parties bring in 50 people, and photographers need lights and electricity for a natural look, says Line. "If you're on a tourist visit and you're by yourself, there's no charge for that." But Congress recently passed a law commanding the NPS to charge the growing number of commercial ventures that photograph or film in parks all across the country. True, says Bill Line, spokesman for the Park Service's local operations. When a busload of fifth-graders line up on the same famed steps, "I'm sure they're not required to get a permit," she points out. (Hey, flower girl! Wait in the car!) "It seems very arbitrary," says Ranasinghe, an architectural history PhD from Rockville who will marry Brian Stoneon Saturday (but maybe not pose in the park). Under a new policy effective May 15, it costs $50 to $250, depending on the size of the party. So Shaalini Ranasinghelearned when she inquired about permits for wedding-day pictures at the Jefferson Memorial, one of the most popular sites. The National Park Service is getting itself a piece of the billion-dollar bridal-biz: Newlyweds who want photo ops at D.C.'s monuments now have to pay for the privilege. “HEAVEN,” it says.Me morializing Your Union? Priceless, but Not Free This land is your land - but standing on it in a wedding dress is gonna cost you. Into the beech - a wild behemoth, with weird orifices, not an inch of bark unspoiled - some vandal, we can see, has aptly carved Epstein’s implicit message across an upper branch. It is possible to make out each of the superfine branches of a silver linden in Prospect Park, caught like porcupine quills in the gap between seasons, and to take in all of the tattooed majesty of a massive weeping beech in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Unspoiled by digital effects, the photographs luxuriate in pregnant details. It’s Walden Pond beside the Long Island Expressway. Supplicants tune out the din from Douglaston Plaza and sometimes jot down thoughts in a notebook stuffed inside a plastic bag tied to a chain-link fence nearby. Said to be hundreds of years old, the tree is partly obscured by smaller, young tulips, but it has become a pilgrimage site for nature lovers who meditate on an abandoned milk crate next to the tree’s slim, craning trunk. Then there’s the picture of a tulip tree in Queens. Nicholas Avenue at 163rd Street in Manhattan, an ancient English elm, “a totem in the neighborhood,” as Epstein puts it, with its aged limbs supported by steel cables, plays the cranky old man before an audience of dull gray buildings. In La Plaza Cultural garden in the East Village, a weeping willow, like some shambling teenager, hunches toward a clutch of young people as if trying to join their conversation. Before a strip of Korean stores in Flushing, a stubbly bald cypress on Northern Boulevard stands on a windswept sidewalk - as with many of the trees Epstein picks out, it’s an immigrant in New York. They’re neighborhood characters, metaphors for urban life and architectural monuments. Epstein’s pictures are portraits of these trees, but only sort of. OK, so there are a bunch of different coolants in today’s vehicles. Hybrid OAT coolants are currently used by many European vehicle manufacturers as well as Ford and Chrysler. Silicate also helps repair surface erosion caused by cavitation in the water pump. Hybrid OAT coolants add some silicate to provide quick-acting protection for aluminum surfaces. Hybrid OAT coolants, also known as “G-05.” This formulation also uses organic acids, but not 2-EHA (different organic acids are used). OAT corrosion inhibitors provide excellent long-term protection for aluminum and cast iron, but may not be the best choice for older cooling systems that have copper/brass radiators and heater cores. Consequently, OAT coolants typically have a recommended service life of five years or 150,000 miles. The corrosion inhibitors in OAT coolants are slower acting, but much longer-lived than those in traditional North American green coolants. But Honda has an extended-life OAT coolant that is dyed dark green and does not contain 2-EHA. Volkswagen/Audi uses a similar product that’s dyed pink. OAT-based coolants are usually, but not always, dyed a different color to distinguish them from traditional North American green antifreeze. OAT stands for Organic Acid Technology, and includes such ingredients as sebacate, 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) and other organic acids, but no silicates or phosphates (except in the case of Toyota’s pink extended-life coolant, which adds a dose of phosphate to its extended-life OAT-based antifreeze). But the short-lived nature of the corrosion inhibitors means this type of coolant should be changed every two to three years or 30,000 miles (though some products now claim a service interval of up to 50,000 miles with improved chemistry). Again, always defer to the owner’s manual. For example, OAT coolants should not be used in a vehicle that specifies the use of a hybrid OAT coolant. The fast-acting silicate and phosphate corrosion inhibitors provide quick protection for bare iron and aluminum surfaces, and have a proven track record of providing trouble-free service in virtually any vehicle application (domestic, Asian or European), assuming the chemistry is correct. Traditional North American “green” antifreeze, the original “universal” formula that everybody used until the introduction of today’s extended-life coolants. There are essentially three basic types of coolants: The more we get into the specifics of each type of coolant, the more confusing the whole discussion becomes – so we’re only going to tell you what’s really worth knowing with respect to the different types of antifreeze. What’s more, colors can change if somebody tops off the system with a different coolant. You can’t go by the color of the dye in the coolant because two coolants with similar colors may have different chemistry, and two coolants with different colors may have similar chemistry. For example, Ford and Chrysler specify hybrid OAT-only coolants. It’s important to always use the coolant chemistry recommended in the vehicle owner’s manual. These requirements are usually spelled out in the vehicle’s owner’s manual, and/or a decal or label on the coolant reservoir. We’re not going to summarize the whole laundry list of OEM coolants and colors here except to say that each vehicle manufacturer has their own unique coolant specifications based on corrosion protection requirements, service life and chemical compatibility. 5/17/2023 0 Comments Othello act 2Or, failing so, yet that I put the Moor At least into a jealousy so strong That judgment cannot cure. The thought whereof Doth, like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my inwards, And nothing can or shall content my soul Till I am evened with him, wife for wife. Now, I do love her too, Not out of absolute lust-though peradventure I stand accountant for as great a sin- But partly led to diet my revenge, For that I do suspect the lusty Moor Hath leaped into my seat. The Moor, howbeit that I endure him not, Is of a constant, loving, noble nature, And I dare think he’ll prove to Desdemona A most dear husband. That she loves him, ’tis apt and of great credit. That Cassio loves her, I do well believe ’t. He's an awful and complete rascal, and Desdemona's already found him. And besides, this scoundrel is handsome, young, and has everything that foolish young women look for in a man. He's a tricky, opportunistic villain, who takes advantage of situations. Now, sir, given all this obvious information, who do you think she will turn to if not Cassio? He's eloquent, and puts up a facade of good manners to hide his real desires. Her very nature will compel her to find a second man. Without any of these desirable things, she'll get so sick of the Moor she'll want to throw up. When she gets bored with having sex, she'll need to find something to inflame her passion again-someone good-looking, closer to her age, and more like her in behavior and appearance. She wants something nice to look at, and she won't get that with the devil Othello. Do you think she still loves him now for talking? Don't think this for a second. Remember how quickly she fell in love with the Moor, all over some bragging and made-up fantastical stories. A pestilent complete knave, and the woman hath found him already. Besides, the knave is handsome, young, and hath all those requisites in him that folly and green minds look after. Why, none, why, none! A slipper and subtle knave, a finder of occasions that has an eye, can stamp and counterfeit advantages, though true advantage never present itself. Now sir, this granted-as it is a most pregnant and unforced position-who stands so eminent in the degree of this fortune as Cassio does? A knave very voluble, no further conscionable than in putting on the mere form of civil and humane seeming, for the better compassing of his salt and most hidden loose affection. Very nature will instruct her in it and compel her to some second choice. Now for want of these required conveniences, her delicate tenderness will find itself abused, begin to heave the gorge, disrelish and abhor the Moor. Her eye must be fed, and what delight shall she have to look on the devil? When the blood is made dull with the act of sport, there should be a game to inflame it and to give satiety a fresh appetite, loveliness in favor, sympathy in years, manners and beauties. To love him still for prating? Let not thy discreet heart think it. Mark me with what violence she first loved the Moor, but for bragging and telling her fantastical lies. Lay thy finger thus, and let thy soul be instructed. 5/17/2023 0 Comments Hover ballDue to the fact that it is flat on one side and made of rubber, it is conveniently used in small spaces like the living room and will harmlessly slide under the sofas and tables and bounce off baseboards.

EMERGENCY 4 Deluxe Free Download Repacklab 5/17/2023 0 Comments Eltima commander one deselectMoving files between folders in side-by-side view is super convenient Make no mistake about it, this is a powerful app that will boost your productivity tremendously as opposed to Apple’s at times irritating Finder. It rocks a double-pane layout that makes working with files a breeze. Made entirely in Swift, Commander One is a fast and nimble piece of software which brings rich file manager functionality to your Mac. Throwback to the ’90s: theme support in Norton Commander-that is, Commander Oneīut wouldn’t it be great if there were such thing as Norton Commander-alike file manager for macOS that gave you far better functionality than Apple’s aging Finder ever could? Welcome to Commander OneĬommander One is a free orthodox Mac file manager for the modern age (orthodox in a sense that it follows a two-panel paradigm) heavily influenced by Norton Commander. In the age of MS-DOS back in the ’80s, Norton Commander was all the rage. Enter Commander One, a free, productivity-focused Mac file manager from US-based developer Eltima that’s everything Apple’s annoying Finder wishes it could be, and then some more. Power users who are feeling nostalgic for the days of Norton Commander will definitely like what Commander One has to offer.Managing your files in macOS, browsing network volumes, using Dropbox without downloading data to your Mac, sharing items between iOS devices and your computer and performing other file operations in the Finder-all those everyday tasks leave a lot to be desired. And Dropbox links can even be created and shared from within Commander One. One particularly interesting and unique feature is direct integration with Dropbox, allowing users to browse their online Dropbox folder as if it’s a drive - useful for those who don’t want to sync their entire Dropbox down to their local Mac storage. The $30 PRO upgrade adds even more powerful advanced features, including support for mounting FTP and SFTP servers, support for compressing, extracting, and searching in RAR, TarGz and 7zip archives, and even mounting iOS devices and browsing their file systems directly. Local and network drives are fully supported, and you can use Spotlight for basic searches or construct more advanced searches using regular expressions. You can view each panel in one of three view modes, and open unlimited tabs in each, make multiple selections and queue files up for various operations, automatically rename files during copy and move operations, and setup custom hotkeys for any action. The new dual-pane file manager for Mac is written entirely in Swift and designed specifically for OS X users, providing not only basic file management but a number of advanced features that power users will love - especially those who grew up in an era when dual-panel tools like this one were more the norm. This has spawned a number of alternatives over the years, and one of the latest entries into the group is Eltima Software’s Commander One (free/$30). Many Mac power users have long felt that the built-in Finder app in OS X doesn’t quite cut the mustard, despite Apple’s incremental improvements with each OS X update. |
