![]() This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds Special Uses When thoroughly dry, the wood is used as firewood or charcoal. It is used for veneer, as plywood for interior use, in rustic furniture, for rough boxes and crates, as handles for tools, as soles for sandals, for match sticks and toothpicks, to build cabinets, to make decorative articles. The wood takes all stains and polishes well and holds nails firmly without splitting. It works easily with all types of tools and machines saws cleanly planes to a smooth finish drills cleanly with some tearing at the exit side and turns readily on the lathe. The wood is soft, light in weight, firm, tough, not very durable in contact with the soil. The texture is fine to medium the grain fairly straight lustre is moderate and there is no distinctive taste or odour. Both the heartwood and sapwood are often discoloured to a gray by sap-staining fungi. The heartwood is white, yellowish, or light brown it is not differentiated from the sapwood. The aromatic resin is a natural insect repellent, and no pests or diseases are reported for this species. Used by the Maya as an incense since ancient times, it is still concentrated, dried and used in modern South America as incense in churches. It is also used as a glue for mending broken china and glass. ![]() It is painted on canoes to preserve the wood from insects etc. ![]() It is used in varnishes and as a substitute for gum arabic (from Acacia spp.). Other Uses The bark yields a balsam resin known as American elemi, cachibok or gomart. Agroforestry Uses: Trees are used as living fence to delimit pastures, using stakes 1 - 3 metres long, 10 - 15cm thick, and spaced 3 metres or more apart.

By putting the building blocks into the hands of programmers, we believe we will unlock the full potential of the PMC-Eight OpenGOTO and discover unexplored uses. ![]() ![]() In an unprecedented move, we have made the coding that powers our precision motion control system open source. The night sky is full of possibilities, and so is the PMC-Eight. Through ASCOM, you can access a number of outstanding star map software/telescope control programs. Our specific PMC-Eight ASCOM 32-bit legacy, or 32-bit/64-bit Any CPU driver allows you to use the ASCOM-powered planetarium or observatory control software of your choice to run your PMC-Eight mount either wirelessly or through a wired connection. To meet the versatile needs of the greater amateur and professional astronomy community, we have made the PMC-Eight compatible with the industry standard ASCOM Standard interface. This dynamic app is fueled by a database that can be routinely updated to ensure you have the latest discoveries waiting for you to explore!Īlthough we offer our own operating app (ExploreStars), the PMC-Eight is all about providing options – not only in what you view but in how you get there. ExploreStars is all-encompassing and has an intuitive nature that makes it simple and quick to align your telescope, navigate the stars and learn specifics about tens of thousands of celestial objects. This multiple processor approach is a revolutionary one that pays off with exceptional performance.Ĭreated specifically for the PMC-Eight, the ExploreStars app streamlines the observing experience and serves as an ideal introduction to the many benefits of our OpenGOTO system. This delegation of tasks among the processors results in a system that offers superior responsiveness, high efficiency and unsurpassed reliability. The PMC-Eight has eight CPUs that operate independently of one another to focus on defined functions. If you are running any version of MacOS before Big Sur, avoid it at all costs if you're running Bug Sur, sadly you're stuck with it.The PMC-Eight has taken GOTO technology to a whole new level by utilizing a smart electronic design philosophy that transcends the industry standard single processor designs. This does all of the same stuff, but the glitches reduce productivity. Basically, the previous generation of this program worked much better. Stealing focus across multiple screens, so that all windows activate, rather than simply the screen that you're working in, meaning that anything running on the native computer gets bumped off of the screen until you minimise windows. ![]() There are too many OS glitches, with the menu bar randomly disappearing from the top of the screen, pointer and screen items misaligning semi-regularly as the window jumps into a slightly incorrect postiion on the screen, but the pointer remains correctly orientated so that they are a few pixels out with each other. If you are on Catalina, do not upgrade to this. The latest version is not nearly as stable as the now-superseded earlier versions, which will not work with MacOS Big Sur. Nothing is more soul-crushing than getting a pricey soundbar in your living room only to discover you have to rearrange everything to find a spot for it. This one might seem obvious but humor me for a minute. Those two give me the ability to beam music and podcasts from my go-to apps without having to settle for - or struggle with - a Bluetooth connection. For me, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast are essentials, but the rest I can live without. ![]() ![]() Depending on your preferences, you might be able to live without some of these. When it comes to WiFi, that connectivity affords you luxuries like voice control (either built-in or with a separate device), Chromecast, Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2. ![]() Most soundbars these days offer either Bluetooth, WiFi or both. Not all Atmos-enabled units have them, but if they do, the third number will tell you how many are in play. The third numeral is up-firing speakers, important for the immersive effect of Dolby Atmos. The second number refers to the subwoofer, so if your new soundbar comes with one or has them built in, you’ll see a one here. A two would just be left and right while a more robust Atmos system, especially one with rear satellite speakers, could be five or seven (left, right, center and upward). The first figure corresponds to the number of channels. That’s the 2.1, 7.1.2 or other decimal number that companies include in product descriptions. ChannelsĪnother big thing you’ll want to pay attention to when looking for the best soundbar is channels. And with the HDMI 2.1 spec, soundbars can support HDR, 8K and 4K/120 passthrough to make these speaker systems an even better companion for a game console. HDMI connections are essential for things like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and other high-res and immersive audio formats. If you want to connect your set-top box, gaming console and more directly to your soundbar for the best possible audio, you'll likely want to look for an option with at least two HDMI (eARC) inputs. The Sonos Beam, for example, is $449, but only has a single HDMI port. Things get slightly better in the mid-range section, but that's not always the case. They either offer an optical port or one HDMI jack and, if you're lucky, both. A lot of the more affordable soundbars are limited when it comes to connectivity options. These filters simulate sounds arriving from overhead, to give you a more immersive and expansive experience.ĭolby Atmos soundbars which utilize height virtualization allow for more flexibility in room environment since it doesn’t rely on ceiling reflections to deliver the Dolby Atmos experience.This is a big one. The second type of soundbar enabled with Dolby Atmos is one that does not have upward-firing drivers, but instead uses height virtualization to reproduce the effect of Dolby Atmos sound placement and movement above and around you for sound that is more expansive, even in smaller rooms.īased on extensive Dolby research into how we perceive sound, Dolby Atmos height virtualization applies carefully designed filters to individual sounds that come from overhead. Soundbars with upward-firing speakers will deliver the most natural, true-to-life sounds emanating from above and all around when a room has a flat, non-vaulted ceiling as high as 14 feet (4.3 meters), and with a clear audio path from the top of the soundbar to the ceiling. This means that sound is projected to the ceiling, then reflects back down on you to provide a full experience of lifelike sound overhead and around you. Some soundbars with Dolby Atmos technology use upward-firing speakers. Unlike a standard stereo soundbar, a soundbar enabled with Dolby Atmos uses cinema-inspired technology to transform your room into an amazing place for entertainment and make you feel like you’re inside the story. When these sounds are placed and moved in space, your entertainment comes to life above and all around you. Sound comes from all directions, including overhead, to fill the room with astonishing sound clarity, richness, detail, and depth. Each individual sound is more nuanced and realistic for a richer and fuller immersive experience. Through the creative placement of individual sounds, Dolby Atmos adapts cinema-inspired immersive sound to your living room to create powerful, moving audio. Instead of buying larger home theater systems to supplement TV audio, soundbars are useful because they take up less space and are generally less expensive. Soundbars are made up of multiple loudspeakers housed in a long, wide enclosure and are commonly used with your TV or home entertainment system. What is a soundbar enabled with Dolby Atmos and why is it better than a regular soundbar? ![]() Therefore, 0×12 is the same as 18, which is the same as 022.ĭelayed environment variable expansion support is disabled by default, but you can enable or disable it by using cmd /v. Numeric values are decimal numbers unless prefixed by 0× for hexadecimal numbers or 0 for octal numbers. If you run set /a from the command line outside of a command script, it displays the final value of the expression. If you specify an environment variable name that isn't defined in the current environment, a value of zero is allotted, which allows you to perform arithmetic with environment variable values without using the % to retrieve a value. Any non-numeric strings in the expression are considered environment variable names, and their values are converted to numbers before they're processed. If you use logical ( & or ||) or modulus ( %) operators, enclose the expression string in quotation marks. If you use the /a parameter, the following operators are supported, in descending order of precedence: Operator If you specify only a variable and an equal sign (without ) for the set command, the value associated with the variable is cleared (as if the variable isn't there). If the variable already exists in the environment, the new string value replaces the old string value. ![]() If you specify values for and, the specified value is added to the environment and is associated with that variable. Two other environment variables used by Windows are PROMPT and DIRCMD. These settings usually include the COMSPEC and PATH environment variables, which are used to help find programs on disk. If you use the set command without any parameters, the current environment settings are displayed. The set command is often used in the Autoexec.nt file to set environment variables. Use environment variables to control the behavior of some batch files and programs and to control the way Windows and the MS-DOS subsystem appears and works. If you use quotation marks to enclose a string that contains one of the special characters, the quotation marks are set as part of the environment variable value. The characters, |, &, and ^ are special command shell characters, and they must be preceded by the escape character ( ^) or enclosed in quotation marks when used in (for example, "StringContaining&Symbol"). If command extensions are enabled (the default) and you run set with a value, it displays all of the variables that begin with that value. Sets to a numerical expression that is evaluated. This parameter must be used with the /p parameter. Specifies a message to prompt the user for input. Sets the value of to a line of input entered by the user.

People who try to consciously or unconsciously convince others that they are nothing are coming from a place of feeling like nothing themselves. So don’t let anyone ever convince you again that you are nothing. You are a member of a very large family called Earth and when you need nurturing you always have Mother Earth to count on. And you can feel honored that the universe chose you to be a part of this amazing time in human history. ![]() Know that for the simple fact you exist, your life has value and meaning. There is no other person exactly like you and you have your own unique gifts to offer this world. In truth, you are a one-of-a-kind living miracle. Instead of learning how to love ourselves, we were taught how to hate ourselves by how we were treated and from the modeling of self-hate from those around us. But sometimes the seed of self-hate gets nurtured instead if we did not receive nurturing and unconditional love from the people who raised us. Self-love is not something to be earned or deserved, it’s simply a seed planted within us waiting to be nurtured in order to grow. We could also understand that we are not living in our own truth but living in someone else’s lie, and the pain and unhappiness that we feel is trying to draw our attention to this lie.ĭon’t wait until someone gives you permission to love yourself. But if we could see that the reason why we think that we are nothing is because unhealthy people from our past convinced us of this, by the way they spoke to us and treated us, then we could understand that this belief is unfounded. The false believe that we are nothing blocks the flow of unconditional self-love. I look into the mirror and I see a face that is always changing.Ĭan I love her? Can I accept her? Will I reject her?īut the face that I see is what a kind and caring person looks like. At Starbucks Corp., baristas accrue paid sick leave from the date they’re hired, at the same rate Walmart plans to offer-one hour for every 30 hours worked. Koska, though, said she had zero absence points, so she would qualify for the additional bonus.īy state law, Koska already gets paid sick time, along with Walmart workers in Illinois, Philadelphia and other jurisdictions that require it. Other big chains are in the same boat overall, a little less than half of retailers surveyed by consultant firm Mercer said hourly employees get paid sick days on top of regular paid time off. “Our attendance has nothing to do with it,” said Sherry Koska, 68, who works at a Walmart in Rialto, California. Even so, at least one Walmart worker wasn’t happy about the change in bonus policy. (Workers who use their protected leave won’t get penalized for absences, no matter the reason.) Those with no violations, meanwhile, can receive 25 percent more. A worker who bails on a couple of shifts, for example, could see his or her bonus cut by as much as half. In addition, quarterly bonus payments, which were previously based only on a store’s performance, are now partially tied to attendance. The retailer has also cut by nearly half the number of attendance infractions allowed over a six-month period before a worker is fired. Walmart’s new sick-leave benefit is the carrot in its policy overhaul. “We’re thrilled that the company has stepped up and appears to be making major improvements to its policy,” said Dina Bakst, co-president of A Better Balance and, historically, a harsh critic of Walmart’s employment practices. “At the same time, we urge Walmart to reconsider aspects of the policy that may be even more harsh on workers.” by more than 10 percentage points, though it won’t be more specific. Last year, the company raised wages, expanded parental-leave policies and relaxed its dress code-moves that, Walmart says, have lowered employee turnover rates in the U.S. It’s the latest step in Walmart’s attempt to burnish its reputation as an employer. ![]() Now all of Walmart’s store and warehouse workers will be able to earn as many as 48 hours of what it calls “Protected Paid Time Off,” which is classified separately from their regular vacation time and can be used for any reason. ![]() 2, the revamp standardizes a patchwork of local and regional policies crafted to comply with the growing number of states and municipalities requiring businesses to offer paid sick leave. is making sweeping changes to its employment policies this month, granting paid sick leave to hourly workers in the U.S., and, at the same time, possibly making it easier to fire those who miss too many shifts.Įffective Feb. |
