![]() About three years before my visit, in February of 2020, Biomilq announced that it had successfully used cells to produce lactose and casein, a sugar and a protein found in breast milk. The company hopes to use these cells and others like them to re-create as closely as possible the process of making human milk. You could call the bottle’s contents Biomilq, or maybe just milk, or, as the engineer did-indicating a number of smaller bottles also stowed in the freezer-“our best shots to date.” The frozen puck represented a week and a half’s worth of output from a single line of lab-cultured human mammary cells. The bottle creaked as it began to adjust to the room’s warmth, and the engineer hastened to put it back in the freezer. Biomilq’s headquarters are in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park, a seven-thousand-acre wedge of pine forests and office complexes between Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh. I was visiting Biomilq, a startup, founded by Leila Strickland and Michelle Egger, that is working to produce lab-grown breast milk. At the bottom of the bottle, two hundred and fifty millilitres of liquid had formed a shallow, colorless puck. ![]() He opened it to reveal an array of ice-caked steel drawers and, wearing blue Cryo-Gloves (reverse oven mitts, essentially), removed a small bottle from the chill, which measured minus eighty degrees Celsius. A young engineer with a tidy beard escorted me past rows of benches to a large freezer. ![]() Not long ago, I suited up in a white coat and safety goggles and entered a quiet laboratory where an experiment at the frontiers of science and parenthood was under way.

Fantasy general 2 invasion6/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Should lead to a less annoying Sunken Lands. Lizard Hunters aren't retreating anymore and Newt chance of retreat is reduced. Replaced Longbowmen in "The Gap" (as Clan Machnar does not have them) and made sure there isn't too much Artillery. Added new skirmish maps: Battle Lines and Coastal Defense I also highly recommend a game called Zombasite its a very unique game like Diablo but other clans will hunt in the world and attack your base so you have the added stress while your trying to hunt providing a strategy element to defend your town and the rpg mode trying to hunt in the world and dungeons its a perfect blend of Strategy & Rpg combined sorta like Spellforce 3 offers which is a great game as well.Changelog for Update v0 (added 13 September 2019): I need to eventually finish all of those games but I like playing a game like Fantasy General 2 where u can finish a map within 30-90 minutes which is also why I enjoy playing Dota 2 as well for a match. Of course I also like a long list of Rpg games as well Like Divinity Original Sin,Pillars of Eternity,Bards Tale IV,Wasteland 2,Lords of Xulima, Pathfinder Kingmaker,Spiderweb Software turned based games as well all of which offer great turn based and real time gameplay but are known for being a RPG game pretty much. I will likely play Fantasy General 2 for a long time just like I'd play Deity Empires for a longtime as well. Graphics do not just make a game it is also having superior gameplay value as well. Well your missing out its a very deep game, the Graphics is easy to get past if it has exceptional game play value. If you like this game, folks probably would like a game called Deity Empires I play that game a lot as it is a great 4x fantasy game I've been playing for over a year now and it never gets old. Legend difficulty feels pretty good to me but it is very important to have a balanced army to deal with different threats. I also was curious I did try the difficulty setting after normal think it is called the veteran difficulty and it felt a bit to easy as I noticed there was only 2 Frost Trolls that attack the bottom right little settlement and less Eagles on Mission 2 vs 4 Frost Trolls and I think 2 Flyers per wave. ![]() I did encounter a bug though on mission 6, when all my forces where eliminated the game kept going on and on cycling through the a.i player and the random monsters and would not end on the legend ironman difficulty not that it matters since I was defeated anyways so I had to alt tab and delete the save game since that game was lost anyways. Yes, it is important to also let the Centaurs fight the Empire which can help you as well. I also think fortifying yourself at the top right corner of the map is a good idea and block off the area so no land units can aid their flyers while your longbowman pick them off so I'll be ready next time. ![]() Next time I will be prepared as I had invested in a single knight of whom was elite but is useless against flyers. I had no longbowman as what beat me was the huge force of flyers. One map that made me lose bad was Mission 6 where the Centaurs and the Empire attack you. This game is really hard, I have had to start over a number of times on the Legend Iron Man Difficulty for both the Barbarian and now the Empire Campaign but it is ok to lose it can be fun at times having a bitter end come to you or the feeling of sweet victory should you prevail.īut after each defeat I learn something about my army on why I lost along with the actual map that made me lose so the next time I revisit I will have an advantage.

Gifted and talented nyc6/2/2023 "We just should not be separating students,” Berg said. While most of the city's kindergartners are Hipsanic or Black, the majority of kindergartners admitted to “gifted and talented” classes are Asian and white. "I was slightly surprised because we've had silence on this for some time from Mayor de Blasio,” Nyah Berg said.īerg leads New York Appleseed, an organization that advocates for integrated schools and was part of the task force. "The first chancellor that ever gave me a plan to fix ‘gifted and talented’ was Meisha Ross Porter, and we're moving on it immediately,” de Blasio said Friday.īut the plan is strikingly similar to a proposal put forth in 2019 by a task force the mayor himself created: the Schools Diversity Advisory Group. That means that beyond his weekly radio appearance on WNYC, he likely will not face questions on the plan from the broader press corps until next week. The announcement was made on a Friday, the one day of the week de Blasio typically does not hold a press conference. "Clearly the Department of Education must improve outcomes for children from lower-income areas.” “Eric will assess the plan and reserves his right to implement policies based on the needs of students and parents, should he become mayor," Adams spokesperson Evan Thies said in a statement. It’s unclear how quickly he could pivot to instead implement a program of his own. Democratic nominee Eric Adams, de Blasio’s likely successor, has been skeptical about ending “gifted and talented” programs. That will leave it to the next mayor to implement. The city aims to roll out the plan fully in December, the mayor’s final month in office. The city will also launch seven borough-wide teams of accelerate instruction experts, and hold engagement sessions with parents in October and November - though parents who wanted to have input on the plan will likely be frustrated that it’s been announced before those sessions. The overhaul will be rolled out to all 800 schools with elementary students, and this year the city will train all 4,000 kindergarten teachers in accelerated instruction, which the department says will reach children in areas with historically little access to “gifted and talented” programing. The accelerated instruction will include “learning with projects based on real-world problems students need to solve using advanced skills,” the education department says. This is a really important day for New York City.”Īt third grade, students will be universally screened by subject area to see if they would benefit from tailored accelerated instruction - but they’ll remain in classes with children of all abilities. “We’re going to reach tens of thousands more kids with accelerated learning. “This is a really exciting day, and the chancellor and I are so happy that we’re going to be ending something that I think was a mistake all along - a single test for 4-year-olds that determines so much of their future,” de Blasio said on WNYC. That will begin in fall of 2022, with a new model for all elementary schools that the city says will serve 26 times more students than the current program - reaching 65,000 instead of 2,500. Instead of using separate classes, the city says it will instead offer “accelerated instruction” to all students. It comes with just three months left in the mayor’s final term in office. The announcement will be deeply unpopular with parents who view the program as a reason to remain in public schools, but applauded by others who believe the program worsens classroom segregation. “There are so many more students who are gifted, who are talented, who are brilliant, who have special gifts, and I think this is the moment about creating opportunities for all students to demonstrate their powerful learning abilities and for teachers to really tap into those gifts.” “As a lifelong educator, what we all know is that no single test should be determining any child’s future," Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter said on Friday during an appearance with de Blasio on WNYC. ![]() But those who have already been admitted to the separate classes will remain in them until they’ve graduated from them. The test has typically admitted only about 2,500 kindergartners a year into the “gifted and talented” program - a tiny fraction of the city’s school children. ![]() The city says it will instead provide those students with accelerated learning within mixed-ability classrooms.The city will eliminate the use of a high-stakes test given to four-year-olds and stop separating children into gifted classes.Mayor Bill de Blasio will essentially end the public school ‘gifted and talented’ program in its current form.

Eraser file shredder6/1/2023 This at least gives you an added layer of security in that even if the files were somehow stolen by the shredding software, they would be virtually inaccessible because of encryption.Ĭurrently I use a combination of PrivaZer and Eraser to shred files and delete free space on PCs, Hardwipe and DBAN to shred hard drives, and Shreddit on mobile. One other tip for wiping files and free space would be to first encrypt the files that you want to delete (using 7zip or AxCrypt for example), then wipe those files using shredding software. The only hard drives that were connected to the PC were the ones to be shredded - it didn't even have an OS drive since I was able to bypass it in the BIOS. At work I set up a dedicated shredding station that booted up using DBAN on CD. This way, depending on your hardware setup, you can minimize what hard drives are running and essentially nix data being copied somewhere without your knowledge. While Hardwipe seems to be a legitimate app, going forward what I will be doing is first formatting the drive using the OS, then running the hard drive shredding software.Īlternatively, what you can do is run shredding software off a USB stick or CD. This was exactly my concern after I used Hardwipe to shred a drive. But I might be wrong.Īlso which free disk space wiper are you using and do you feel 100% secure and safe when wiping free space or shredding your files? I am using the portable version of CCleaner.įile shredder is a bit more suspicious to me, since the developer company site doesn't have an email or the firm is not well known. /rebates/2fen-us2ff-data-shredder&. CCleaner is closer to my selection, but for some reason it sees my external USB drives as SSD, and can perform only one pass of free space wipe. ![]() I am considering to wipe the free disk space of my hard disk drives, but I am really not sure if CCleaner or File Shredder are really 100% secure. They know that we are using that kind of software for deleting confidential files, so they might be after our data. I know I might thinking too negatively, but while those software are securely deleting the files or wiping free disk space, is there any chance for those programs to collect information of the deleted files, for example by making small screenshots of our data or compressed copies of the txt files, documents, passwords, or jpg or videos files and transmit to an external IP through the internet?Įven though unplugging the ethernet internet cable or use the firewall to block those programs to send any data over internet while the deleting process happens, isn't there any possibility for the software to copy all our deleted files to another position of our hard disks, hidden from us, and transmit them slowly and at random times when the software traces that we are back online? We assume that the software is downloaded from the developer's sites. Lets say we are using PC Windows, and software CCleaner (from piriform) or File Shredder (found here) to securely delete our files or wipe our free disk space. CCleaner is a less effective removal software program and has had problems with Trojans.I was wondering how secure are the file shredding software and free space wipers? DBAN and File Shredder have the same method of deletion. No, the other options are on par with Eraser. The main characteristic it lacks is computer cleaning, which CCleaner boasts as one of its features. ![]() ![]() While quick deletion is not something you want when you are trying to be safe, Eraser works fast when compared to open-sourced File Shredder. To use it, you just need to right-click on a file and it will offer you an option to erase the data. ![]() File Deletion is Not Data Erasure Sanitizing Your Data Data Overwrite Methods How to Use Eraser Program Resources File Deletion is Not Data Erasure I first wrote about Eraser in 2005. With its easy-to-use interface, you can schedule deletion whenever you want. One of the best file shredders for Windows is free and open-source. Eraser focuses only on the removal of trace elements.Īlso, in contrast to CCleaner, which has had problems with viruses, Eraser is completely safe to download. Unlike many standard programs, it is much more robust at deleting than CCleaner. The program works by overwriting the file that you wish to remove completely. Keeping your information from being recovered by hackers is crucial to your safety.

Flexible work schedule6/1/2023 ![]() My first job out of college was working for a digital marketing company in Seattle. To help employers better understand what they and their employees stand to gain from a flexible schedule, here’s one employee’s personal experience.įlexible schedules optimize the workday, improve productivity Having a flexible schedule has been a godsend for my work, my health, and my family. If so many employees want flexible work schedules, why aren’t employers hiring more remote workers-either to drive employee loyalty and retention or to bolster morale and the company’s reputation? For some, it may come down to a lack of understanding -both of what a flexible work schedule means to employees and how to implement such a policy. ![]() In fact, 44% of those surveyed said they plan to leave their current job sometime within the next two years. ![]() Yet four years later, only 18% of employees surveyed by QuickBooks could say they currently have a flexible work schedule, and they’re not happy about it. In 2014, Bentley University found something similar: 77% of millennials felt a more flexible work schedule would heighten their productivity. Why employers don’t offer flexibility and what they stand to loseįlexible work schedules aren’t only appreciated, but now expected by many job applicants, especially remote workers. Flexible scheduling is becoming more common at modern organizations, and is even a highlighted perk for a number of Best Places to Work. While those incentives were important, 76% of respondents chose a flexible work schedule as the best incentive their employer could offer. More money? More paid time off? Surprisingly, neither. One key question asked respondents which incentive would motivate them the most. But what does “meaningful and desirable” mean? And what kind of impact is doing this likely to have on your bottom line?Įarlier this year, QuickBooks ran a pay and benefits survey, asking 1,000 employees about their satisfaction and what benefits they’d prefer from their employer. That’s why it’s so important to engage employees in ways that are meaningful and desirable. Money aside, losing key players affects morale and, worst-case scenario, can prompt a mass exodus, leaving whole departments devoid of senior leadership and perspective. A great team is hard to find and expensive to replace.

John mellencamp discography6/1/2023 ![]() But all the same, he retains a certain artistic standard, and a quality of writing which has made every release noteworthy. ![]() And that's what you'd call a legend, isn't it?Ĭlearly, his golden age is now somewhat behind him most of his masterpieces were recorded in the ‘70s (After the Gold Rush in 1970, Harvest in 1972, Time Fades Away in 1973, On The Beach in 1974, Tonight’s The Night and Zuma in 1975 and Rust Never Sleeps in 1979). Solo, with his old accomplices Crosby, Stills and Nash, or with his furious group Crazy Horse, the Loner (as his fans have dubbed him) has always been an ambassador for rock rooted in American soil. ![]() Neil Young has found the perfect alloy of rock'n'roll, country, blues and folk.Ĭlearly, his golden age is now somewhat behind him most of his masterpieces were recorded in the ‘70s (After the Gold Rush in 1970, Harvest in 1972, Time Fades Away in 1973, On The Beach in 1974, Tonight’s The Night and Zuma in 1975 and Rust Never Sleeps in 1979). A real personality on the rock scene, he has been venerated by old hippies, budding punks, and cowboy rebels. But it is surely his writing that sets him apart as an artist. From dreamy folk to furious, cataclysmic rock, the Canadian singer-songwriter has mastered his art from end to end. Like David Bowie, Neil Young is one of those artists whose talent transcends genres and fashions. 1.There are not many people who have made such a long journey across eras and styles without their fans' devotion waning at all. We hope that this list will inspire you to revisit some of these timeless albums or perhaps discover a hidden gem that you may have missed. Some of these albums are widely celebrated classics that continue to be relevant today, while others may have flown under the radar at the time of their release but have since gained a devoted following. Each album on this list has been chosen based on its artistic merit, cultural impact, and lasting influence on music. Our selection includes albums from a wide variety of artists, both established and emerging, and covers an array of genres, from synth-pop to heavy metal, and from country to new wave. In recognition of the lasting impact of this era on music, we have compiled a list of the 100 greatest albums from 1985. The emergence of hip-hop, the continued rise of pop and rock, and the advent of alternative music all contributed to a year filled with groundbreaking albums that have continued to shape the musical landscape. The year 1985 marked a momentous time in music history, with a diverse range of genres and styles making their mark on the industry.
