Pdf reader pro ipad dropbox8/18/2023 ![]() In fact, Dropbox just last month made a significant move in terms of entering the document collaboration space when it announced the launch of Paper, a Google Docs competitor that’s something of a shared whiteboard that also offers support for checklists, rich media embeds, and more.Ī partnership focused on document editing is not unique for Dropbox, however. ![]() The added integration makes sense for both companies as many of Adobe’s customers are already using Dropbox as their file storage solution of choice, while Dropbox is trying to better cater to its business user base who wants more seamless ways not only to store and share files, but also collaborate on them and edit them, too. This will open Adobe Acrobat Reader on your mobile device. To use the new feature, iOS users on iPhone or iPad only have to click the “Edit” button after first opening the PDF file they need to make changes to from within the Dropbox iOS app. Support for Android will arrive early next year, says the company. That means users will be able to annotate or comment on their PDF files stored in Dropbox, or even electronically sign a PDF using the Acrobat Reader app, and have their changes saved back in Dropbox. Now this same sort of integration is live in Dropbox’s iOS applications, as well. That is, in addition to opening and viewing files, any edits you made to your files would automatically be saved to your Dropbox when complete. This improved support for working with the popular file format comes on the heels of Dropbox’s partnership with Adobe, announced last month, which included Dropbox’s integration into Adobe’s Document Cloud, among other things.īefore today, Adobe and Dropbox had already rolled out support for working with PDFs from the Adobe app on the desktop. Dropbox says that, starting now, customers will be able to edit PDF files saved into their Dropbox accounts while using iOS applications, with support for Android set to arrive in the near future.

Obsidian for notes8/18/2023 ![]() “Our thinking is, If a thought can’t be retrieved, then it’s not a useful thought,” said Kevin Moody, the 26-year-old former Google employee who co-founded Mem, which recently raised $5.6 million in venture capital. Instead of tabs and folders, they allow us to sort our archives into customizable, easy-to-navigate tables - and, in the case of Mem and Obsidian, can even show us how one piece of information (say, your to-do list) is related to another (notes from a recent meeting). Like the filing cabinet for the pre-digital era, these apps are designed not only to store everything that our brains can’t hold - grocery lists, passwords, meditation schedules, work tasks - but also to make us better at retrieving the information in them. There is Roam Research, founded in 2017, and Obsidian, founded in 2020, and Mem, which is in public beta. ![]() They are sometimes referred to as “knowledge-management systems” or “personal-knowledge bases,” though many users refer to them as simply “second brains.” The best known is Notion, which was released in 2016 and has grown from 1 million to more than 20 million users in the past two years (and was recently valued at $10 billion). If a thought can’t be retrieved, then it’s not a useful thought.Īmid this flood of data, a new category of app has emerged, one that promises to collect all the digital material we generate into one single, seamless interface. But the contents of our digital memories have themselves grown unwieldy, fractured across multiple devices and accounts, impossible to process. By now, we may even rely on our devices’ memories so completely that we’ve lost our ability to recall things without them. This compendium of self-knowledge seems only to expand, prompting our devices to expand along with it: The first iPhone’s maximum storage space was 16 gigabytes, while the newest release offers a terabyte. I could tell you with a glance at my iPhone exactly where I was on October 24, 2015, or how many hours of sleep I got last night. We are constantly turning our lives into data, much of it nonphysical: photographs and screenshots and stray notes, reams of text messages and bookmarked tabs and other digital detritus. Nearly a century later, Moses’s anxiety has become our reality. Moses was wary of how filing cabinets externalized personal memory: What would be the consequences of trying to turn every aspect of your life into “information” to be hoarded for later? “You can’t expect yourself to say, when you give your wife the first kiss, ‘File that, my dear, for future reference,’ ” he wrote in 1930. ![]() Not everyone was happy with the invention. One 1918 advertisement described the filing cabinet as “oracle-like” with a “great gigantic memory”: “It is only a bit o’ steel, yet no brain was ever made / That could wholly supersede it with the busy business man.” The filing cabinet, then, was better than a human brain - it could hold and organize the entire contents of one’s professional and domestic life, broken down into discrete bits of information and made retrievable at will. As these archives ballooned, a new technology rose in popularity: the filing cabinet, whose history the scholar Craig Robertson documents in The Filing Cabinet: A Vertical History of Information. This “paperization” eventually spilled into the home, where a rise in personal documentation meant that houses were filling up with bills, letters, tax forms, receipts, birth certificates, recipes clipped from magazines. As American businesses expanded in both number and scale in the wake of the Civil War, so did their printed material there were graphs, memos, charts, forms, and more correspondence than ever. The 20th century brought with it a deluge of paper.

Play nine scoring8/17/2023 If you must leave the course after seven or eight holes, then net par is used on the holes not played. ![]() So, if you are crunched for time or prefer nine-hole rounds, keep in mind that your scores can be posted after playing as few as seven holes. If you would like to learn more about the full calculation, that can be found in Rule 6.1b of the Rules of Handicapping (but we recommend letting technology take care of the math!) Additionally, if you have a mobile app with your Handicap Index information, the process is likely even easier as you will just need to select the course and tees to be played to get your nine-hole Course Handicap. In some instances, you will be prompted to enter your halved Handicap Index, as well as the nine-hole Course Rating, Slope Rating and par so that the program can run the calculation for you. Next, you can simply use the USGA’s Course Handicap calculator or the Course Handicap Tables posted at the golf course to determine your Course Handicap for the specific nine holes you are about to play. However, your Course Handicap can be determined for a nine-hole round by first cutting your Handicap Index in half (and then rounding to the nearest tenth). You have a Handicap Index® which is designed to convert to a Course Handicap™ for 18-hole play. ![]() These can be found in the Course Rating and Slope Database™. Playing nine holes of golf is not only a fun way to stay connected to the game we all love, but it is also easy for you to post a score for handicap purposes from these rounds.Įach golf course that has an 18-hole Course Rating™ and Slope Rating® also has nine-hole Ratings.

Yours has some by the looks of it, which is a worse scenario than the one described in the previous paragraph. "Current Pending Sector Count" relates to the number of sectors found to be iffy that have not yet been reallocated. So it's a "best of a bad situation" scenario: If it hadn't found and reallocated those sectors, instability relating to the HDD not serving up data in a timely manner would have been probable. Assuming that I'm correct in reading the raw value here to be something higher than zero, your HDD has done what it's supposed to do when it found iffy sectors, however the sectors should not have been iffy in the first place. These sectors likely once contained data that has since been recovered and moved to another sector (the original sector won't get used again).

Female red tailed cockatoo8/17/2023 ![]() Then, holding the twig in one foot, the bird bangs it repeatedly against the hollow section of one of the trees it nests in. Hand me that wrench. While a number of wildlife use tools, palm cockatoos are among the few that actually make a tool by breaking a carefully selected stick to just the right size. That loud voice is a great adaptation for living in thick, dark forests, helping each bird communicate with others over long distances, even though they are out of sight. Shhhh. Cockatoos are LOUD and noisy! They are arguably the loudest of all the parrots and scream to communicate with one another, or just for the sheer joy of making noise. Some birds roost in a nest or tree hollow, others in the thick foliage of a tree.Ĭapable, strong flyers, some cockatoos often “play” with each other, performing intricate aerial maneuvers or crazy antics, such as hanging upside down while perched, just for the “fun” of it! These activities may serve as a form of exercise for the birds, and they do seem to strengthen social bonds. They fly by day only, feeding and resting before returning to their home roosts for the night. We can fly! Cockatoos are nomadic in their movements, traveling in small groups or huge flocks to areas with an abundant food supply, often in connection with the seasons. These birds are also able to hold their food in one foot while balancing on the other! ![]() It’s hard to fly through dense, leafy branches, and even tougher to get to the fruit or nuts that are their primary foods, but because cockatoos can climb through tree branches so well, they can easily get to the treats they want. This, along with the use of their beak, gives them the ability to use their feet much like we use our hands and helps make them terrific climbers! Having the ability to climb is a necessity for birds that live and nest in thick forests. ![]() The powder helps to protect their feathers and keep them clean.Ĭoordinated cockatoos. Like all parrots, cockatoos are zygodactyl. In other parrots, the presence of this texture produces color by the way it reflects light.Ĭockatoos also do not have oil glands, but they do produce a fine powder that is the result of the breakdown of special downy feathers. This is caused by the lack of a special texture, known as Dyck texture, in their feathers. In black and white. Cockatoos differ from other parrots not only because of their crest, which can be raised by the bird when needed, but also because they are mostly black or white (with a few notable exceptions, such as the gray and pink galah). They can also live in the lower slopes of mountain areas as well as mangroves and open country lands, to feed on grass seeds. They are found in Australia and the smaller island countries to the north and west, and they live in forested areas of all types, from eucalyptus groves to pine forests and rainforests. Getting to know you. With their perky crest and natural curiosity, cockatoos are among the most well-known and loved members of the parrot family.

Until the cat is trapped, the sheriff’s office says, it is unable to state with certainty if the cat is feral, or an escaped house cat infected with rabies.Įven if it is a lost pet, it is unlikely to break a record set by another wandering cat found in Longwood, Florida, in February last year after it went missing from its home in Chesterville, Maine, 1,500 miles away in 2015.Arden's Aaron Saft, owner of Foot Rx and a past winner of the Morris Broadband Half Marathon at DuPont State Forest, headlines this year's runners who will be competing in Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy's Bearwallow Beast Trail Run on Sunday at Bearwallow Mountain in Gerton, N.C.

Paprika trainer ending8/17/2023 ![]() His nightmares are the direct result of these repressed feelings, manifesting in stylistic, big-screen-like adventures. If he rejects cinema, he can reject his past and thus avoid the negative feelings that have mounted within him over the years. Konakawa’s denial of cinema is a byproduct of guilt. He has a pain point he refuses to confront: his failure to become a filmmaker with his, now-deceased, former best friend. For Inui, it’s the ability to walk again. Think back to Inui and Chiba and how each of them found empowerment through dreams. With that said, Konakawa is incredibly important to Paprika‘s core theme. So if you’re trying to just understand the events in Paprika, you can kind of ignore everything involving Konakawa. If he does or doesn’t, Inui’s and Chiba’s actions remain the same. To be clear, nothing in the main plot depends on Konakawa solving the homicide in the hallway or uncovering the cause of his nightmare. As someone may think Konakawa’s story is more important than it is. This can be, on the first watch, confusing. But it also puts a lot of importance on the unsolved homicide and Konakawa’s recurring nightmare. That opening sequence shows off the power of the DCM2 and sets up the duality of Paprika/Chiba. Meaning that, initially, he’s more of the focus than Paprika, who is simply guiding Konakawa through dream therapy. Narratively, it’s pretty misleading, as Konakawa begins the movie. Now let’s look at Detective Konakawa’s subplot. Detective Konakawa’s hallway mystery party Chiba’s true self transcends the Chairman’s delusion. Thankfully, the reborn Chiba/Paprika hybrid eats Inui’s nightmare form, proving the power of her transformation over his. Both our hero and villain have broken through their limitations. At the same time Inui reaches his final form and is reborn, Chiba and Paprika become one and cycle through their own rebirth-infant to child to teen to young woman to full adult. A byproduct of Inui’s conspiracy is the tearing down of the veil that had kept Paprika and Chiba apart. But the division represents her inability to feel her emotions. Where Inui desires nothing more than to replace his real self with his dream self, Chiba has no such desire. Paprika director Satoshi Kon expresses this duality in the juxtaposition between Chiba and Paprika. The meaning of the monstrous parade that’s intruding across dreams.Ĭhiba is similar to Inui in that she’s freer in dreams than she is in reality. We watch Chiba and the others struggle to figure out why one teammate jumps out a window. Chiba and the others on the DC Mini project have no idea what Inui’s doing, so neither does the viewer. Which is why the beginning of Inui’s plot plays out like a mystery. We view almost everything through her POV. While Inui’s villainy drives the story of Paprika, we follow Atsuko Chiba. Sony Pictures Sony Pictures Atsuko Chiba and Paprika: the ‘you’ you hide Then reborn in his final, giant nightmare form, legs completely functional. That way he can transcend the limits of his handicap. But, in actuality, he wants to transform reality into a dream. He gives a big speech about trying to protect the dream world from the intrusion of the DC Mini and all it entails. Inui is wheelchair-bound and has relied on dreams as a kind of sanctuary. It’s through the DCM2 that our bad guy, Chairman Inui, wreaks havoc. But the still-in-progress DC Mini 2.0 lets you experience someone else’s dreams. The DC Mini 1.0 lets you watch someone else’s dreams. It becomes more convoluted because the technology involves dreams and shared dreaming and the merging of dreams and reality. If we boil it down, Paprika is simply: a bad guy uses technology in an attempt to take over the world but is defeated. Chairman Inui dastardly plan: dreams and reality merge Once you separate these three threads, Paprika is far more approachable. And third, we have the subplot involving Detective Konakawa. Second, there’s Atsuko Chiba’s personal story. First, there’s what’s happening and why it’s happening. To understand Paprika, we need to sort a few things out. |
