![]() ![]() This is a crazy time, even crazier with COVID and our world requiring a neutral attitude and graceful ability to adapt. The Aquarian Sadhana attunes your gunas, your chakras, and your mind to the change of the Age. Immerse yourself in the joy of victory that comes from starting each day with a powerful sadhana and every challenge becomes opportunity. Commit to meet your higher Self each morning and your decisions and your life become origina and authentic to youl your life will bear the signature of your Unique Soul your radiance will express the meaningful intimacy of the Infinite in each moment. Develop a deep sadhana and you open the doors of experience. If you absolutely cannot get up early in the morning to do sadhana, then do it some other time! Doing sadhana at any time of the day or night will benefit you.ĭevelop a regular sadhana and you take control of your life. It’s easier to meditate and concentrate before the hustle and bustle of the day begins. You are up and there is something about the collective chitta that is peaceful. That special time is called Amrit Vela, which translates as the Nectar of God. Yewwww!ĭuring what are called the “ambrosial hours” (the two and a half hours just before sunrise), when the sun is at a sixty-degree angle to the Earth, the energy you put into your sadhana gets maximum results. To cover all your bases, it will include exercise, meditation, mantra and prayer. Before you face the world each day, do yourself a favor-tune up your nervous system and attune yourself to your highest inner self. Sadhana is whatever you do consistently to clear your own consciousness so you can relate to the infinity within you. It is the main tool you use to work on yourself to achieve the purpose of life. Sadhana is your personal, individual spiritual effort. You can see in almost every spiritual tradition they encourage some kind of devotional morning practice. It is the foundation of all spiritual endeavors. However, this guide specifically explains a traditional Kundalini Sadhana practice that I do daily. There is only one rule - that you commit to it every day, no matter what. It can be meditation, a morning run or something creative. Truly, a sadhana can be anything that makes your heart sing. The idea of Sadhana, is that for even if it is just 15 minutes right when you wake up, you get to think of you and only YOU. It can actually be pretty meditative and powerful (I actually do love it in other people's classes, and going to kirtan (which are basically just chanting classes)).SADHANA (Sanskrit साधन) means daily spiritual practice. So, understand that your reaction isn't unusual - but don't be surprised if you end up loving it more as times goes on. I promise that is allowed :)) And honestly, I actually DON'T usually like to include chanting (even an "om" or two) in most of my studio classes because I know that it weirds a lot of people out. (PS you also don't have to participate! And can just be silent while others chant. So I wouldn't worry too much about getting the words "right" - just repeat the sounds as best you can if you want to participate. So, if you're not into it, maybe find either another teacher or another gym/studio! And I know that it seems weird at first, but it actually really isn't! Even if you don't know what you're saying or why you're saying it, chanting can be great because of the breathing you do while you're chanting (probably a nice slow exhale while the words are coming out), and the vibration of the words inside your mouth can be very soothing, if that makes any sense. As a reference, I teach at 3 studios - at one, I'm NOT allowed to do any kind of chanting, at one I'm REQUIRED to begin and end with a bit of chanting, and at the 3rd studio it's my choice whether to include it or not. In some yoga classes there is chanting, and in other yoga classes, there isn't! Usually, it's either included or not included based on the style and preference of the teacher, although some gyms/studios actually have "rules" for teachers about whether or not they are supposed to include it. ![]()
![]() In the first season of the Overwatch League, they lost 40 matches in a row. It has been a long journey to the top for the Dragons. But Im going to hold back real judgment until I get to see the game up close because, you know, people worked very hard on this.Maybe itll just be different, not worse, Rajani added.After the halftime spectacle was over, the Shanghai Dragons went on to sweep the Atlanta Reign, 4-0, winning the $1.5 million prize in a dominant performance. Tanks are larger characters that often stand on the front lines of a battle they draw enemy fire, lay down shields to provide cover and create space for the rest of their team to attack.I really do feel that having two tanks in the game added a lot of strategic depth, Rajani said. Jang added that he believes the sequel is still a work in progress.In a postgame news conference, Brad Rajani, the head coach for the Atlanta Reign said hes worried Overwatch 2 wont have as much strategic depth to the game, since teams will have one less tank role on the field. At one point during the pre-show, Halpern compared Overwatch 2 to the Call of Duty, explaining that the matches just had a lot of action, nonstop.Washington Justices Gui-Un Decay Jang, another player who tested Overwatch 2, told The Post that, as of right now, the sequel will entirely rely on individual mechanics, not on teamwork.Story continues below advertisementThe DPS role is really important in Overwatch 2, Jang said, as translated by Haeni Kim, the Justices player manager. Players appeared to spread out a bit more. With just one tank role, the fighting is aggressive and fast-paced. Similarly, Bastion, a gentle robot that wears a rotary gun as a backpack, is going to be able to launch artillery strikes, fire tactical grenades and even drive around while in his trademark sentry mode.The 10-minute Overwatch 2 showmatch featured a new mode, Push, on a map set in Rome. Her cyberwarfare is far less debilitating but easier to unleash and shell be able to deal more damage to the enemies she hacks. Teams will be playing with one less tank player and the games balance will be in flux as heroes change to completely different abilities.Story continues below advertisementOn Saturday, Blizzard revealed they reconfigured how Sombra, a character known for flanking her opponents, hacks the enemy team. It does not appear to be an overstatement. After playing it, Indy Space Halpern, a player for the Los Angeles Gladiators who participated in the prerecorded halftime show, said the whole game is going to change. Staff and players believe the sequel will inject new life into the five-year old game. ![]() Until recently, fans and teams have been stitching together hopes and rumors for Overwatch 2. It is not over expensive and provides a way around your problem.Even the cleverest malware is stranded unless it can communicate with the people who sent it. Since about Mavericks we have seen the number of TM issues go up and up and the TM backup is much harder to work from than a direct clone. TM works a lot better to local drives.Īnd I would buy a 3rd party backup software like Carbon Copy Cloner and use that. That way you have a viable current backup and can work out if Time Machine is having issues due to corrupt files on the local computer. well I recommend you do a backup to a USB drive plugged directly into the computer. Not via any other router in your network. The computer should backup directly (over wireless or ethernet) to the TC. it will typically not work with Time Machine. security or anti-virus software on a Mac causes huge problems. They become unreliable.ĭid you load any software recently into the computers. The TC older than 3 years should just be replaced. In the end you need to kick start it and that is often what is required. they do die before that fairly often so if your is AC version don't be surprised.Īrchive off all the existing backups. If your TC is more than 3years old it can simply need replacement. ![]() ![]() This is going to be faster, far more reliable and cheaper substitute to a new TC which is otherwise most likely needed. partition it in two and use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone on the first partition and use TM on second partition. if you want a reliable backup then buy a self powered USB drive. ![]() TM is also less and less reliable to network drives. IMHO it is simply better to start a fresh clean backup. Old but still helpful.Ī4 and A5 on reset of TM and verifying backup and drive.ī5 and B6 on reconnecting to your backups. Please read a few of the notes from Pondini. archive the TC to a USB drive before you do a full erase and start over. Sometimes it is necessary to actually delete the old backup to get things going again. if the old backup is verified as OK TM will continue using the existing backup.īe warned if the existing backup is corrupt TM will delete it and start over. What it will do is discover the existing setup and do a check of it. TM will say it is going to create a new backup and start in 120sec. Reselect the TC as your backup target in TM setup. ie link-local only for ethernet and/or wireless depending on which you use. Make sure IPv6 is set correctly in the computer. Ignore this point if you don't understand it. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.Įnsure the TC always takes the same IP address. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. ![]() ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. If the wireless is still a problem set wireless names like TC24ghz and set the 5ghz to different name. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.Įg TCgen5 for basestation and TCwifi wireless name. Then redo the setup from the computer you want to use for TM using Airport Utility.ġ. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. press it so you feel it just click and no more. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall. You need to do a factory reset of the TC. ![]() Keep updated on the latest PC Gaming news by following GameWatcher on Twitter, checking out our videos on YouTube, giving us a like on Facebook, and joining us on Discord.

A bet that turned out to be one of the worst investments in the history of the U.S. With the acquisition, Exxon bet big on the future financial potential of the U.S. To Exxon’s $41 billion acquisition of XTO, a shale gas fracking company. Wanted to get into the shale gas boom driven by fracking. It started a decade ago, when Exxon was producing natural gas but And in December the oil giant made a list of America’s “Zombie” companies - companies that are borrowing more money than they make. But in August, Exxon was dropped from the Dow Industrial Average. It used to be America’s most valuable company.

This is what the fracking revolution has done to the U.S. Of the industry’s remaining fracking assets, and in June, accountingįirm Deloitte estimated the industry could soon write off $300 billion more.

Pandemic made things worse, “the sector’s weaknesses extend back Updated the losses to-date to be $300 billion - noting that while the More than two years later the Washington Post ran an article on “Shale’s Bust” and fracking industry, which were around a quarter trillion dollars at the time.

After over a decade of the much-hyped U.S. ![]() Other benefits to using an app like this is that because it doesn’t use the Telephoto lens, you don’t have to stand so far away, it works far better in low light, and you can apply it (including automatically) to older photos. ![]() It works fairly well, but, and here’s why it’s a worthwhile app for both iPhone 7 Plus users, and everyone else: you can edit the effect.Īpple’s built-in functionality cannot be altered at all, meaning you can’t tweak the subtlety or intensity of the effect, but with FabFocus you can. This works in a similar way to Portrait Mode, allowing you to take photos before producing its own auto-bokeh effect. One of the best we’ve found is an app called FabFocus . On the other hand, the key sell for the iPhone 7 Plus’ Portrait Mode is that it’s all automatic, and since its launch more third-party developers have created tools that mimic this approach. It works well enough but the results are often slightly surreal and fake looking due to its manual selection – but if that’s the effect you’re going for it’s great. This app allows you to shoot photos, or select existing ones and then manually select the subject and produce a blurring of the background. In fact, one app we’ve used before is Tadaa SLR . However, for those that love the cool blurring affect of high-end DSLRs but don’t have the iPhone 7 Plus, it’s still possible to create this affect on other devices using third-party apps. To undo all the changes you’ve made with the Retouch tool in the current editing session, click the Reset button at the lower-right.A promo pic from Apple after the launch of iOS 10.1 If necessary, press Command-Z to undo the last brushstroke you made and have another go at it, perhaps with a smaller brush or by repositioning the item within the brush cursor or by clicking instead of dragging (or vice-versa). Keep your eyes peeled for any smudging that occurs from the pixel blending Photos performs. Release your mouse button, and Photos copies nearby pixels and blends them into the area you dragged over.īy dragging with a really small brush, you can give your subject an eyebrow trim, as illustrated in this before (top) and after (bottom) image. When you do, Photos shows your brushstroke as a white overlay. If the item has plenty of free pixels around it, but it doesn’t fit within a round brush cursor-think stray hairs, power lines, a scar, and so on-click and drag with the tool instead. To keep from picking up adjacent colors-like the lips or shadow beneath her nose, make your cursor only slightly larger than the item you want to remove. Use the Zoom slider at the upper-left to zoom into the image and, if necessary, drag while holding down the spacebar to reposition the image so you can see the thing you’re about to remove. To use it, select an image in Photos and then press Return to enter Edit mode, or press the Edit button in the upper-right of the toolbar. ![]() ![]() The Retouch tool works by copying pixels from one area of your photo to another and then blending them (blurring, really) into the pixels you click or drag atop. As you’re about to learn, Photos’ Retouch tool is more powerful than the one in iPhoto. Happily, the Retouch tool in Photos for OS X can come to your rescue (it’s not available in Photos for iOS). Or maybe you captured an object in the frame you wish you hadn’t, or you scanned the image and introduced dust specks, or perhaps your camera’s sensor is a little dirty. After all, sometimes a perfectly good portrait is marred by small yet annoying stuff like a zit, makeup smudge, or a stray hairs. There’s nothing wrong with a little vanity. ![]() But if you tell the developer about those, he’ll add them in an update. That said, I’ve lost a few times with words that should have been accepted. It’s surprisingly satisfying to win a challenge and then be able to use that word right away. If you’re wrong, you lose one of your three challenge points for the day. If you’re right, you get a point added to your total of challenges won. If you create a word that the game doesn’t recognize, just challenge it. Whatever your preferred play style, there’s something here for you.Īnother interesting feature is the ability to challenge a word. If you prefer more of a challenge, try your hand at Rush, which is the same as Puzzle but with a timer, or ExPuzzle, which has numbers that go all the way up to 8 instead of just 6. And if you find that too hard, there’s a Zen mode that does away with the numbered tiles. There’s no timer, though, so you can take as long as you need to think of the best words. If you make too many small words, your score might be too low by the time the 6’s make an appearance, and it will be harder to recover. So for instance, if there’s a 5 on an E tile, you can’t use that E in a four-letter word and instead have to find a longer word to use it with. A numbered letter means you can only use it in a word that’s at least that long. ![]() The catch is, after a while you’ll start getting letters with numbers on them. The idea is to keep making words and increasing your score before any of the tiles reach the top of the screen. ![]() Each time you make a word, another row gets added to the bottom. My personal favorite is Puzzle Mode, which starts you off with five rows of letters. You can even have multiple games going at once, as each mode has its own separate save slot. While the basic Tower and Puzzle modes are the ones you’ll likely play the most, each of the others adds enough to make it worth playing when you’re in the mood for a change. But if you want more, you can make a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 to remove ads and unlock six more modes - Search, Zen, ExPuzzle, Double Puzzle, Bubble Puzzle and Blitz. You can play those as much as you want without spending a penny, as long as you don’t mind the occasional ad. You get Tower, Puzzle, Rush, and two daily challenges. This is a high score chaser at its core, and each mode has its own global leaderboard so you can compete with others around the world.įive modes are included in the free version of the game, which is supported by pop-up ads. There are eleven different modes, but the common denominator among them all is that you want to make words that will score big points. But on top of that, you get bonus points for using a gold tile, blue tiles clear a whole line, and a word made of five or more letters will clear all the tiles touching them, as well. The in-game tutorial does a good job explaining it, so I won’t get into too much detail. Also, letters can connect in any which way, even criss-crossing. The main difference here is that you’re not given any words to find - it’s all on you to come up with them. It’s similar to a word search, where you’re shown a page full of letters and you need to find specific words by connecting them in a line. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, let me explain how it works. |
