11/20/2023 0 Comments Parallels access ios![]() ![]() So, the question is, did any games I tried work well within Parallels Access? As I mentioned earlier, I ruled out a lot of games that just wouldn’t be suited to the lag and keyboard issues. In fact, vibration aside, it was nice to scroll through my games list by sliding my finger along the screen and then tapping a specific game. Switching into big picture mode got rid of the vibration, but added a new set of problems, mostly related to the massive delays between tapping something and then receiving any visual feedback, but Steam’s not exactly a shining example of a typical Mac application, so I put up with it without much complaint. Steam itself loaded (you have to switch across to Access’ excellent application launcher and then search for it, or use the Finder, which was my first foray into frustrating navigation) but then vibrated horribly. So the next thing I did was open up Steam, in preparation for my launching of a bunch of games and seeing what worked. The second issue with the keyboard is that it will just randomly pop up, requiring you to repeatedly close it so it doesn’t obscure what you’re looking at. This really won’t do for any games that require more than a little keyboard input, or at least, games that require you to see what’s happening on the screen whilst pressing keys (I suppose the argument can be made to use a bluetooth keyboard with this setup, but that moves us dangerously close to “missing the point” territory). Really, this is two separate issues, the first of which is that the on-screen iPad keyboard is bewilderingly big (ok, it’s more or less the same size as in every other iPad app, but when you see it pop up over a Mac application it just looks weird), and obscures half the screen. There was a fraction of a second of lag between what the Mac displayed and what the iPad displayed, but typically a second or more between tapping something on the iPad and the Mac responding. So right off the bat, that’s going to rule out a large number of games (basically, anything with a real-time aspect to it). But what was most surprising was that (at least based on my observations of what was happening on the Mac’s monitor) the problem seemed to lie almost entirely in sending inputs from the iPad to the Mac. Honestly I was a little disappointed, because after all the fanfare, I had hoped for something close to OnLive in terms of performance, which is reportedly so good you can play first-person shooters to a degree of competence (I should probably point out that I was using an iPad 2 to connect to a Mac Pro, but I didn’t see anything to indicate that it would perform better on a newer iPad). The very first thing you notice though is the lag. Indeed, if you do what I did, you can now hold your iPad in front of your Mac’s monitor and see everything happen on both screens together, like voodoo magic. Then OHMYGODMYPRECIOUSMACSCREENRESOLUTIONSHRUNK. Once that’s over, you can connect to one of your available Macs (Windows computers are also supported, via a beta agent application, but I’ve not tried it). Then the video signs off with one of the worst abuses of the English language ever to come out of a marketing department, with an invitation to “Applify™ Your Universe!” Assuming these two applications are able to talk to each other, you must then sit through a video on the iPad that is exactly 50% dull and 50% informative (and 90% too long), that shows you how various Mac mouse movements translate into iPad gestures (tap to click, tap with two fingers to right-click, drag to scroll and so on), which are similar to the gestures on a MacBook trackpad (but strangely, not entirely the same with regards to dragging). You’ll also need to install the Mac agent application (this can also be done from within Parallels Desktop 9). Join me now, as we take a journey into this weird world of computers within computers, with one purpose in mind: entertainment.Īfter downloading the iOS application, you’ll need to register a Parallels account (or login if you already have one). ![]() Only natural then, that I would see just how well this can be used to run games from your Mac on your iPad. I’ve been spending a good deal of time with version 9 of Parallels Desktop lately, and one of the advertised benefits is that it comes bundled with 6 months of the new Parallels Access service, which lets you access your Mac from your iPad (ok, it’s a little more complicated than that). ![]() ![]() Published Septemby Ninja Foodstuff in Articles ![]()

11/20/2023 0 Comments Lil spotted zebra![]() ![]() But the future may not be bright for this little zebra. As news of the unusual foal spread on social media, tourists began flocking to Masai Mara “ in droves” to catch a glimpse of it. ![]() Tira’s appearance marks the first time that a spotted zebra has been seen at Masai Mara, according to Sayagie, but others like it have been observed in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. The animal appeared to have partial albinism, a condition where reduced melanin causes a zebra’s stripes to appear a pale, golden color. Earlier this year, for instance, Natasha Daly of National Geographic reported on a “blonde” zebra at Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. Genetic quirks can lead to other atypical coat patterns. “There are a variety of mutations that can disturb the process of melanin synthesis, and in all of those disorders, the melanocytes are believed to be normally distributed, but the melanin they make is abnormal,” Greg Barsh, a geneticist at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, tells Stacey.Ī post shared by Frank Liu on at 4:25am PDT But on rare occasions, something goes awry and the melanin does not manifest as stripes. Zebras are dark skinned animals, and their stripes arise from specialized skin cells called melanocytes, which transfer melanin into some of their hairs the hairs that have melanin appear black, and those that do not appear white. The baby zebra, which has been named Tira, in fact has a genetic condition known as “pseudomelanism,” which causes abnormalities in zebra stripe patterns, as Ren Larison, a biologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, explains to Katie Stacey of National Geographic. “At first I thought it was a zebra that had been captured and painted or marked for purposes of migration,” Tira tells George Sayagie of the Daily Nation, a Kenyan newspaper. At the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, a tour guide and photographer named Antony Tira recently caught sight of an unusual foal, its deep black coat covered with white spots. But every now and then, a zebra is born that doesn’t fit the striped mold. With their striking black-and-white stripes, zebras boast one of the most iconic coats of the animal kingdom. ![]() 11/20/2023 0 Comments Da vincis notebook![]() TINDERA: I'm looking through a copy of what’s now called the Codex Leicester, which I purchased online for about $30. With closing fees from the auction house, it came out to $30.8 million. So Gates sort of went out and bought the ultimate book. We reported that same year that Gates envied his friend Warren Buffett, because he had more time to spend reading than Gates did. PETERSON-WITHORN: Yeah, and Gates loves books. And then amid all of this, he buys this one-of-a-kind Leonardo da Vinci manuscript at a Christie's auction for $28 million. ![]() PETERSON-WITHORN: And in fact, that fall he had just appeared atop our Forbes 400 ranking of the richest Americans, with an estimated net worth of $9.35 billion. He was described in our Forbes 400 issue of the magazine that year as both a “hard worker” and “brutally candid.”ĬBS CLIP, CONNIE CHUNG: You know, you may be the richest man in America, or at least the second-richest man in America.ĬBS CLIP, BILL GATES: Well, that's simply based on taking the stock I own in Microsoft and doing some type of multiplication. He had just gotten married to Melinda Gates on New Year's Day of that year and was in the middle of building his multi-million-dollar mega mansion, Xanadu 2.0. TINDERA: So back in November 1994, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates was 39 years old and pretty much at the top of his game. Thanks for joining me.ĬHASE PETERSON-WITHORN: Hi, Michela. Joining me for this is Chase Peterson-Withorn, an editor on the Forbes wealth team. And we're going to show you how we narrowed that range to settle on one number. In this episode, we're taking you inside the world of rare books, manuscripts, and Old Masters works to tell you about how we've estimated the value of one very special notebook, with ties to the world's most expensive painting ever sold at auction: the “Salvator Mundi.” For this notebook, we considered values ranging from $50 million, all the way up to $4 billion. TINDERA: I'm Michela Tindera, and this is Priceless. On the telephone in this room at $28 million. In this room, in-on the telephone rather, at $28 million. Any more? Twenty-eight million dollars, then. It's on the last telephone at $28 million. At $28 million it's away from the room now and on the telephone at $28 million. ![]() MASSEY: Twenty-five million, twenty-six million. ![]() TINDERA: Gates is up against a group from a bank in Milan that’s sitting in the front of the Christie's salesroom. MASSEY: Nineteen-million five hundred thousand I'll be happy to take. TINDERA: Now the audience in the room doesn’t know this, but a representative for Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates is bidding on the phone.

11/20/2023 0 Comments Retrograde motion example![]() However, since Earth completes its orbit in a shorter period of time than these outer planets, we occasionally overtake an outer planet, like a faster car on a multiple-lane highway. This motion is normal for these planets, so its name is a direct motion (not retrograde). Though these planets appear to move from east to west on a nightly basis in response to the spin of Earth, they are most of the time drifting slowly eastward with respect to the background of stars. The latter term is used in reference to the motion of the outer planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and so forth). Retrograde motion should not be confused with retrogradation. These retrograde satellites can be seen in the sky going westward. There are also artificial satellites that orbit clockwise as seen from the pole star. However, since the space shuttle and satellites that are moving eastward would appear from Polaris to be orbiting the Earth counterclockwise, they are considered direct satellites. This orbit also may be considered retrograde motion. However, it is possible to observe a body moving west to east, such as an artificial satellite or space shuttle. The motion of most bodies in the sky is from east to west. When we observe the sky, we expect most objects to move in a particular direction with the time. Some comets and small asteroids orbit the Sun in retrograde orbits. Some small moons orbit clockwise around their planet, and are called retrograde satellites. Venus and Uranus spin clockwise, so they have a retrograde rotation. Rotation in the opposite sense is called retrograde. These motions are called “direct” or “prograde.” Retrograde Most planets spin in the same sense, including Earth. In the Solar system, all major planets orbit the Sun counterclockwise as seen from Polaris. “Retrograde” is derived from the Latin words retro, backwards, and gradus, step. Dimmest (12).Retrograde motion is the orbital motion of a spatial body in a direction that is opposite of what is normal in a given system. Have the students find where Mars appears brightest (4 or 5).Notice that Mars appears to lag behind Earth (retrograde) from 4 until 10, after which Mars begins to catch up with Earth again. As you do this for all positions, pause to analyze the distances and direction of Mars. Rotate Earth's orbit, keeping your fingers moving to 2. Place a finger from each hand on the position 1 for both planets. Show that Mars takes longer than 12 months to make one complete trip around the sun. Point out the orbits of Mars and Earth are not centered on the sun. Show the students the transparency of Explaining Retrograde Motion of Mars.Why would Mars change in size and brightness? (As it gets closer to Earth, it would appear to increase in size and brightness.).What happened to its brightness? (Mars became brighter as it grew in size and then dimmer as it reduced in size.).Was there any change in Mars' appearance at this time? (Yes, it increased in size from #1 to its largest size on August 11 at position #7.(The planet began to move westward after #5 until #9 when it began to move eastward again.) What is the direction of Mars from #1 position to #4? (eastward) (Trace the path of Mars from #1 to #13.) Look at the path. ![]() ![]()

11/19/2023 0 Comments E dcommands![]() We can know that r(p50)stores the median value or r(skewness)stores the skewness value. The scalars that hold these values can be obtained through the same command as before: return list ![]() Mitchell R-Class Scalars and the Summary DetailĪnother way to look at how R-Class scalars are used is through the summary detail command which entails adding an option to the summarizecommand: summarize mpg, detailĪdding this option returns us a more detailed summary table that includes statistics like different percentiles, skewness, kurtosis, and the four smallest and largest values. Related Book: Data Management Using Stata by Michael N. It is best to refer to the descriptive list in the help section in this case. In this case, r(N) and r (sum_w) have the same value of 74 even though they represent different statistics. ![]() This approach is however prone to errors since it is possible that more than one summary statistic holds the same value. We can see that the value of 12 here corresponds to r(min)so it is clear that this scalar holds the minimum value of the variable summarized. r(sum_w) shows us the sum of weights.Ī more manual approach is to compare the values returned by the summary table with the values in the scalar list (list produced using return list command). There will be comprehensive list of all the R-class scalars produced by the summarize command, and a description of what they represent. To obtain these details, simply open the help page for the summarize command using the command help summarizeand scroll to the bottom. For example, it may not be immediately obvious what the scalar r(sum_w)intends to display. But some stats in this list are not entirely self-explanatory about what they are, nor are they displayed in the summary table. use the return listcommand and get a list of all the scalars that store a statistic. So, how do we know what scalar name corresponds to which statistic? One way to do it is what we described above, i.e. This calculates the range of the variable that was summarized without us having to input the numbers on our own. We can also perform calculations using these scalars: display r(max) - r(min) In this case, this new variable will have the value of 41 for all observations. If, for example, we want to create a variable called ‘maxvar’ that should contain the value stored in the ‘r(max)’ scalar, we can do the following: gen maxvar = r(max) More than displaying these values, these scalars are used more often in conducting other operations and analysis. This displays the maximum value (41) of the ‘mpg’ variable that was summarized. We can display these scalars, or execute certain commands using them. ‘r(N)’ stores the number of observations that the summarizecommand returned. This command returns the list of scalars and the corresponding statistics that are stored in them. They can be checked by using the following command: return list Related Article: Local and Global Macros in Stata The statistics that the summarizecommand returns (and some more) are stored in predefined scalars by Stata. We will also summarize the ‘mpg’ variable. Let’s use Stata’s built-in automobile dataset to illustrate how R-Class commands work. R-Class commands store the results in the ‘r’ scalar expressed as r(). Whenever, we execute a command, its results will be stored in a scalar or a matrix. Other commands that return results like summary stats, test results, tabulation etc. Any time you run a regression command that estimates some kind of parameters, the results get stored in this type of commands. Defining the Two Command TypesĮ-Class commands are estimation class commands. To get a comprehensive understanding of E-Class and R-Class commands, it is important for you to understand what scalars and matrices are and how they work in Stata. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Grey Poupon mustard gives the cheese a sort of 'welsh rarebit' sort of taste - a real comfort memory food from my childhood. That's what I hate about boxed mac & cheese - the cheese sauce seems 'slimy' to me. It is SO good! Yes, the cheddar cheese ends up making a sort of 'grainy' cheese sauce. Despite being totally full from dinner, I keep stealing forkfulls of this as it cools on the counter. I believe it may be a small miracle if there is any left by morning. I didn't make this for dinner, just as a test. (3 cups of macaroni, 6 C of cheese, 6 C of milk - you get the point) I used a 4qt crock pot, and I think about one & a half recipe would fit. I cooked it on high for about 2 hours, stirring frequently. ![]() I used about 2 tablespoons of Grey Poupon mustard vice the dry mustard. I never eat mac & cheese myself, because the kids only like the boxed stuff, and the cheaper the better. I had never made mac & cheese in a crock pot, so had to find a recipe to test first. I made this tonight because on Voting Day I have to make chili, mac & cheese and brownies to take to the kids' school as a fund raiser - you know, grab a bowl of food while you vote sort of thing. So, if you tried this and it didn't work the first time. I let it do it's thing for an hour and then stirred every 20 minutes or so after that and it was wonderful. With this recipe, you MUST watch it closely and stir it. I don't think the troubles come with the ingredients, but rather time. I used whole grain macaroni, cheddar cheese, and 2% milk. I made this last night and it was wonderful. When I saw that you had made it and had been successful, my courage was restored and I tried again. I was sooo disappointed and literally came to tears. ![]() I totally destroyed it! I cooked it for way to long and never stirred it. I made this recipe when I first found your blog- ironic, isn't it- to make your friend's recipe first, anyhow. I must say something about this mac and cheese, though. I haven't left a comment yet, even though I've been reading your blog all summer and absolutely love it! The pasta swelled and completely filled a round 4qt. This was more than enough food for 6 people to eat. I was a little surprised that the ingredients called for only a half-pound of pasta. The kids each ate 2 bowls, and my three-year-old has requested that I make this every single day for lunch from now on. The cheese on top was bubbly and brown and had the neat texture it gets when baked in the oven. This tastes like macaroni and cheese should taste. I was quite surprised at how quickly our pasta got fork-tender. The cooking time will vary depending on what size crockpot you are using, and how quickly it heats and cooks.
