The same thing can be done from the URL bar in Chrome if you don’t want to navigate all of the way to the search engine before setting a timer. Just go to Google’s homepage and type in ‘ Set a timer for X minutes/hours.’ Doing this will automatically load a timer above several search results and begin counting down. Just like how you can ask Google what your internet speed is, you can ask it to set a timer. Whether you’re cooking a meal, need to know when to leave, or something else, a timer can be a handy tool. Steps to set a timer or stopwatch from Google’s homepage (if you dont count the one time that my mini in the wrong room is the one that decided to start the timer) I had something similar yesterday 'hey Google, set alarm for 8am' 'got it, alarm set for 8am, July 21,2021'. While Google makes it extremely easy to ask your phone or Home to set a timer, did you know you could just set one from the search engine’s homepage? Here’s how… I used 'hey Google, set a timer for 10 minutes named gingerbread' with success yesterday.

Overall I think this game is a lot of fun, pretty original and it's refreshing to have a challenge these days with so many watered down games out there that dumb down the difficulty to the point that you are sick of them too quickly. It's super frustrating at times but I like that because I feel like I won't get sick of the game anytime soon as I attempt to take on Normal and Hard difficulties. The main character is great, enemies are great, Truffle Princess is hideously great, and the music is great. The environment is nice and still has that great charm from the original Mushroom Men. And the cutscenes between worlds are great as well. There's a rendered cinematic movie at the start of Level 1 that looks like something from Blur or Pixar.

Personally, right now I prefer this mode which makes it nice to platform along and enjoy things without feeling rushed as you figure out the puzzles. You can change the difficulty of the game to "easy" and she won't be present tho so the game basically becomes a more casual puzzle-solving game. ![]() This game is crazy hard tho! You're being chased by the Truffle Princess which basically times you to get these puzzles in place to platform ahead before she catches you, otherwise you die. This game is much different, it's a platformer with small puzzles sprinkled in by having to place crates and trampolines in the right places to progress through the level.

Security Council members could push through a nine-country majority vote on Russia’s membership if the United States or another member backs a challenge by a Ukrainian representative to issue credentials to fulfill the Soviet Union’s old seat, wrote Thomas Grant of the University of Cambridge.īut such a move could prompt legal and political blowback. Ukraine, for instance, could take Russia’s old seat, warmed by the Soviet Union. There is a debate about how readily Russia might be booted from the Security Council. “Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to close the U.N.? Do you think the time for international order is gone?” (Zelensky repeated his plea at the U.N. “Where is the security that the Security Council was supposed to guarantee?” Zelenskyy asked in an impassioned speech to the security council after visiting Bucha in April. Ukraine’s push to expel Russia from the security council dates back to before the invasion, but officials–all the way up to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky–have re-upped their concerns after Russian massacres, such as in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha, fearing Russia could continue to obstruct efforts to condemn human rights abuses. Last month, before the General Assembly vote, Russia vetoed a draft Security Council resolution circulated by the United States and Albania that called Moscow’s illegal annexation of four Ukrainian territories as “a threat to international peace and security.” founding states that were also members of the Soviet Union, dating back to 1946, but as Belarus’s pro-Moscow government has “aided and assisted Russia in the war against Ukraine,” it should be deemed “unsuitable” for the seat, Cohen and Wilson wrote to Blinken.įor months, Ukrainian officials have also been urging for Russia to be expelled from the Security Council, fearing that it could use its veto power as one of the body’s five permanent members to escape condemnation for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Under the 1991 deal, Russia pledged to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors. Only four countries-North Korea, Belarus, Syria, and Nicaragua-backed Russia, while 143 countries voted against it. General Assembly on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to condemn Russia’s attempts to annex Ukrainian territory as illegal in an action that underscored Moscow’s growing diplomatic isolation at the world body. ![]() member states about the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The push also comes as Russia has faced criticism in New York from U.N. Ukraine could and should be recognized to fill the USSR seat rather than Russia.” Rather, it was provided to Russia in a deal after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. “Russia is not a responsible international actor and is unbecoming of a seat on the UN Security Council. Steve Cohen and Joe Wilson, a co-chair and the ranking member on the Helsinki Commission, respectively, wrote to Blinken on Wednesday. “We urge you to initiate a process to replace Russia on the UN Security Council as the fifth permanent member,” Reps. That could force a vote for Russia’s ability to remain on the Security Council. Under the long-shot plan, Ukraine would issue credentials to a representative to claim the seat, allowing the United States or another nation to protest Russia’s standing as a Security Council member, which derives from a 1991 deal for Moscow to retain the Soviet Union’s permanent seat after the country collapsed. President Joe Biden has said flies in the face of the U.N. Secretary of State Antony Blinken obtained by Foreign Policy, the bipartisan Helsinki Commission urged the United States to initiate a protest of Russia’s standing as a permanent member of the Security Council based on the violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, which U.S. Security Council, after Russia hit civilian areas in Kyiv and other major Ukrainian cities this week with missile strikes. government human rights and security watchdog is calling on the Biden administration to take immediate steps to remove Russia as a permanent member of the U.N. ![]() The same could never be said between Draco and his own father. He was affectionate and kept his son's best interest without ever pressuring him to be someone he was not. Even though Scorpius' birth later caused Astoria's death due to her family's blood curse, Draco never showed any resentment toward his son. Scorpius suffered the loss of his mother ahead of his third year, but what's revealed about Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is that he greatly stepped up as a parent. The boys were both sorted into Slytherin and they became very close in their first year. Scorpius' friendship with Albus came into focus during Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Rather than act with revenge, Draco taught Scorpius that his happiness mattered, and he shouldn't let others affect his self-perception. Scorpius befriended Harry's son Albus, but the boys were often targeted by bullies. Draco Malfoy's son spent much of his childhood in seclusion, but that didn't dissuade him from going to Hogwarts. In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Scorpius Malfoy (Draco's son) was taught to treat Muggles and half-bloods with the same respect that he would treat any wizard or witch. Draco and his wife, Astoria Greengrass, decided early on that they would raise their son without pure-blood beliefs. What happens to Draco Malfoy after Harry Potter is quite surprising. However, That wouldn't be the last time Draco encountered Harry in adulthood. He gave Harry, Ron, and Hermione a nod at King's Cross Station as if he acknowledged their past but wanted to prove he was a different person. ![]() By the time he sees some of his old classmates in the epilogue scene - set nineteen years after Voldemort's defeat - Draco had a wife and son. He went into a very dark place emotionally, but he came out of it a changed man. As he lived out the remainder of his teenage years, Draco had a change of heart. At the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it was revealed that Draco and his mother avoided Azkaban. ![]() I handed the garage attendant my paperwork and off he went to get my rental car. I walked out of their office and over to their garage. He was given the choice between a 2018 or 2019. The rental desk agent called up to request double check what compact SUV’s they had on the lot ready to go. Which was nice because I had been traveling for over 12 hours at that point.Įven with the delays getting to the facility, I was picking up my rental car a little early. I looked at that line and based on my previous experience with rental car companies, I expected this line to take 30 mins or more. They had 3 people working the counter to get everyone checked in. When I arrived at Midway’s facility there were about 8 people in line already waiting. Next time, I really should read the entire email not just check to make sure the dates are correct. Had I bothered to read the full confirmation email, I wouldn’t have wasted 10 mins waiting for a rental shuttle that wasn’t coming. Once I knew what I was doing it only took me about 10 mins to get to their facility. I took the Greenline Bus option since I was already downstairs and didn’t want to walk back upstairs. Or you can take the G Bus/Greenline Bus to the Remote Rental Car Depot and then a shuttle bus to their facility. They will reimburse the fare upon arrival. Customers are encouraged to take Uber or Lyft to the facility. They offer two options to get to their rental facility. I discovered that Midway didn’t have an airport shuttle. I then noticed that the sign with all the rental agencies listed didn’t list Midway as picking-up at the rental car shuttle stop.Īt that point, I reviewed my confirmation email. After about 10 mins, I hadn’t seen a single Midway Car Rental Shuttle. I arrived at LAX and grabbed my backpack and headed out to the rental car shuttle area to catch the shuttle to pick up my rental car. Midway Car Rental Review Picking up my Midway Car Rental Head over to their website and check out their selection. This includes a small Toyota Yaris to a Volo S60 to a Mercedes GLC to Ford Mustang GT convertible to s Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet to Tesla Model X to Ferrari 488 Spider to Rolls Royce Ghost. Midway’s selection of rental cars is epic. All available cars are on the luxury end of its rental class. They offer cars in all rental classes from Economy and Compact to SUV to Luxury. I am no car expert but from what I could tell most the cars were newish and those that are not are in excellent condition on the outside. I did a quick check of the rental lot while waiting for my car. They have a trophy case full of awards that attest to their high-quality service and vehicles. Midway Car Rental focuses on providing high-quality rentals and the very best service. They service several Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Burbank Airport, and John Wayne SNA Airport in addition to locations Beverly Hills, Northern Hollywood, Downtown LA, West LA, Mid Wilshire District, Santa Monica, and Hollywood. They have 10 locations spread out across the region. Midway Car Rental is a rental car company focuses on providing rental car services to the greater Los Angeles area. I had the pleasure of working with Midway Car Rental for my recent Southern California Road Trip to see the superbloom and visit Death Valley National Park and Joshua Tree National Park. One of those local brands is Midway Car Rental. You have all the major car rental companies plus a handful of local brands. Los Angeles International Airport is no exception. At some airports, the rental options seem endless. Who has the best price? Who has the best service? Who maintains their cars the best? All these questions go thru my mind every time I rent a car. Picking a rental car company can be a confusing process. Eventually in March 2005 he pleaded guilty to conspiring with other members of the street gang to distribute cocaine and heroin and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. when he was then arrested and charged with drugs conspiracy.

It seems that Marvel Thompson, a Chicago gang leader known as ‘King’ Of the Black Disciples, had overseen a drugs operation which raked in over $300,000 a day. In 2003 it surfaced in clubs across Europe and All Around The World Records picked it up for a UK release.Īlthough Casper wrote the song, the writing credit contradicts this. “I wrote Cha Cha Slide in 1996 as an aerobics workout programme for a gym trainer friend of mine called David Wilson and I recorded and released my own version in 1998,” remembered Casper. The song, which spawned a number of less-successful copycat versions, opens with the line ‘This is something new,’ well it isn’t not. I would always wear white whatever I did stage-wise.” ![]() He explained how he got the name from, “I got the name Casper from when I was young and roller-skated a lot. That song is Cha Cha Slide by DJ Casper who was born William Perry in Chicago, Illinois in 1965 and was also known as Mr C – The Slide Man. This week I focus on a 2004 chart-topper which, the writer never envisaged would become an audience participation act that’s still fully indulged in to this day. It’s incredible how some songs have a dance crazy attached to them which were never originally intended, the prime example being YMCA which, if you watch the original 1978 video, never did the semaphore arm movements which a whole audience will engage in if you have a good DJ to encourage them. ![]() Kevin says he’s the logical partner because SignalVault is tied to financial services. Mark tells Chris to take Kevin’s offer, he’s out too. Ashton thinks Signal Vault’s competitor has too much market share he’s out. Lori says she can sell it on QVC and offers $200K for 18%. He offers $200K for 20% and says he’ll endorse the product. Wonderful agrees, but he thinks you need a credible brand. With over $8 Billion in fraud losses each year, Signal Vault is a good solution. Next, he explains he invested $1 in the business and he tells the lottery story.

Gilpin get a Shark on the same frequency and get an investment? SignalVault Shark Tank RecapĬhris enters the Tank seeking 200K for 12% of his business. The SignalVault sells for fifteen bucks on Amazon. This solution is a more high tech version of RFID blocking devices and there are other products in development – called RFID garbling devices – that do the same thing. It fits in a purse or wallet and effectively jams the signal on an RFID scanner a thief could be using for unscrupulous purposes. The Signal Vault is the size of a credit card. Some people will even go so far as to disable the chip in their cards by drilling a hole through the chip.Īs a result of the new-found awareness of this problem, he sold over 50,000 SignalVault cards. He was in big demand as news shows and other media sought his opinion and advice about how to avoid such data breaches. There are other devices that people can use – such as wallets or sleeves for their credit cards that block radio frequencies. Gilpin started the business with winnings from a $1 lottery scratch ticket back in 2013 and gained instant “expert status” when the now-famous Target credit card data breach was made public. Signal Vault bills itself as a way to protect yourself from getting your credit or debit card data stolen by thieves who use RFID scanners to read data on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips embedded into the new generation of “smart cards.” New credit and debit cards have these chips inside them and thieves use scanners to read card data in any public place (like the mall) without the victim ever knowing their data is being stolen.

Figure 5.10 shows that technical progress brings about a greater increase in capital goods than in consumer goods CD > AB, while a greater increase in consumer goods than in capital goods, AB > CD.īy relaxing the assumptions of the fixed supply of resources and of short period, the production possibility curve helps us in explaining how an economy grows. At the same time, it releases resources which can be employed to raise the output of capital goods. Increased productivity in consumer goods industry makes it possible to increase the output of this industry. It may be noted that even though technical progress is limited to one product, it enables the economy to have more of both goods. ![]() If technical progress takes place in the production of only one of the two goods, say consumer goods, the new production possibility curve will be PP 1 in Figure 5.9. Given the supplies of factors, if the productive efficiency of the economy improves by technological progress, its production possibility curve will throughout shift outwards to P 1P 1 It will lead to the production of more quantities of both consumer and capital goods, as shown by the movement from point A on PP 0 curve to point С on P 1P 1 curve. Suppose the economy is producing certain quantities of consumer goods and capital goods as represented by the production possibility curve PP 0 in Figure 5.8. Technical progress enables an economy to get more output from the same quantities of resources.īy relaxing the assumption of given and constant production techniques, it can be shown with the help of the production possibility curve the increase in the production of both the goods than before. The production possibility curve is of much importance in explaining some of the basic facts of human life like the problems of unemployment, of technological progress, of economic growth, and of economic efficiency. Uses or Applications of the Production Possibility Curve: It is said to be “technologically infeasible or unobtainable”. Any combination lying outside the production-possibility frontier, such as K, implies that the economy does not possess sufficient resources to produce this combination. Such a combination is said to be “technologically inefficient”. Such combinations are said to be “technologically efficient”.Īny combination lying inside the production possibility curve, such as R in Figure 5.6, implies that the society is not using its existing resources fully. The production possibility frontier depicts society’s menu of choices.” This is what McConnel calls the ‘optimum product-mix’ of a society.Īgain, all possibility combinations lying on the production possibility curve (such as В, С and D) show the combinations of the two goods that can be produced by the existing resources and technology of the society. Substitution is the law of life in a full-employment economy. As put by Samuelson: “A full-employment economy must always in producing one good be giving up something of another. The production possibility curve further shows that when the society moves from the possibility point В to С or to D, it transfers resources from the production of good Y to the production of good X. The rate of transformation on a production possibility curve increases as we move from point В to С and to D. This curve not only shows production possibilities but also the rate of transformation of one product into the other when the economy moves from one possibility point to the other. ![]() Each production possibility curve is the locus of output combinations which can be obtained from given quantities of factors or inputs. This is the production possibility curve which is also known as the transformation curve or production possibility frontier. The concave curve PP 1 depicts the various possible combinations of the two goods, P, В, C, D and P 1. ![]() Units of good X are measured horizontally and that of Y on the vertical axis. Table 5.1 is represented diagrammatically in Figure 5.6. For example, to reach the possibility С from B, the economy produces 50 units more of X and sacrifices 30 units of Y whereas in possibility D for the same units of X, it sacrifices 50 units of Y. ![]() In other words, the economy withdraws the given quantities of factors from the production of Y and uses them in producing more of X. The production possibility schedule shows that when the economy produces more units of X, it produces less units of Y successively. The economy can produce 100 units of X and 230 units of Y in possibility B 150 units of X and 200 units of Y in possibility C and 200 units of X and 150 units of Y in possibility D. |
