Very tough and easily-grown, southern waxmyrtle can tolerate a variety of landscape settings from full sun to partial shade, wet swamplands or high, dry and alkaline areas. Then, of course, some day she might want to make candles. Secondarily, she is growing them for their nitrogen-fixing abilities, as they’ll thrive in her very poor pineland soil. She told me her primary goal was to give their land some privacy, and that wax myrtles didn’t really stand out as anything worth paying attention to. While on the road, I asked her why she wanted to plant a non-edible hedge across the front of her property. I actually went to the nursery with she and her husband on the day they bought their hedge plants. She put in a long hedge of wax myrtle in front of her property. Though I haven’t grown it, my friend Elizabeth here in Alabama does. It’s a nondescript shrub, rather common in some scrubby areas of the South. I first heard about wax myrtle some years ago when I was researching natural sources of wax. I’m thinking of planting a hedge of them and trying my hand at dipping candles from the berries. Avoid planting them right against your home or around a fire pit, and be very careful about activities such as smoking, using fireworks, or lighting tiki torches near them.Michelle asks about the benefits of planting wax myrtle/bayberry:ĭavid, what are your thoughts on bayberry shrubs? I’ve read they grow well in poor soil and are nitrogen fixers. One thing to consider is that because waxmyrtles are literally full of oils and waxes, they are highly flammable. This means that the common waxmyrtle does not need fertilizer (at least, it doesn’t need nitrogen), because it can take nitrogen from the atmosphere and put it into the soil for itself or other plants to use. These evenly-burning, smokeless candles were exported and became very popular with Europeans, especially among royalty.Īs if we need another reason to like this plant, it has nitrogen-fixing roots, which work at a faster rate than legumes (the plant group most famous for nitrogen fixation). Both Native Americans and early settlers made scented candles by boiling the stems and berries to melt out the wax. The leaves and stems contain oil glands that produce a strong, aromatic fragrance (the bayberry scent), and the same fragrance is contained in the waxy coating of the berries. About forty different bird species eat the berries and use the shrubs for shelter or nesting, so it’s an excellent choice for wildlife. Waxmyrtles are similar to hollies, in that male and female flowers are borne on separate plants, so only female plants will produce the iconic waxy berries. There are some beautiful specimens on the NC State main campus where you can see the result of careful pruning. However, it can also be limbed up to form an attractive small tree in the landscape. If you vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, you will see it everywhere. Its fast growth rate and tolerance of deer, drought, wind, salt, sandy soils, and full sun make it a very popular hedge shrub for beach properties. This fast-growing evergreen shrub is native to South Carolina and surrounding southern states. This week, we are focusing on the southern waxmyrtle, also known as southern bayberry (scientific name Morella cerifera, formerly Myrica cerifera).

As the name suggests, the Workspace Settings is where you can control settings for your whole Workspace. You will notice that the Settings page has moved to the sidebar and has been split into two – Workspace Settings and Personal Settings. This setting is applied to all members in your Workspace automatically. Today, we’re bringing this option to Workspace Settings, allowing you to set a universal self-destruct for all new uploads to your Workspace. Universal Self Destructįor a long time, Jumpshare had an option to set self-destruct for individual files. This universal setting is applied for all members in the Workspace, thus giving admins greater privacy controls. Owner and Admin(s) on the Business plan also get an option to set universal privacy settings for all new uploads on their Workspace. Here you will find the options to set your link privacy: To access this option, open any file, click Share and visit the Privacy Controls tab. Keeping this in mind, we’ve added greater privacy controls for your uploads. Link Privacy SettingsĮveryone has different sharing needs. We’ve also improved the Copy/Move dialog and added drag & drop so you can easily move your files from your Personal Library to the Team Library to share with your whole team. To invite specific members to collaborate in the Shared Library, just visit any file or folder in your personal library and click Share and then visit the Invite tab. The Team Library is for collaboration with all team members in your Workspace. The Shared Library is where you can collaborate on your content with specific team members. As the name reflects, Personal Library is where your uploads go by default and they’re private. LibrariesĮvery Workspace now comes with three Libraries – Personal, Shared, and Team. However, customers with large teams can create multiple Workspaces, one each for every department, helping everyone collaborate better together and customize the settings according to their requirements. Most customers should be fine with one Workspace. We’ve moved away from accounts to Workspaces so that you can invite your teammates easily, helping everyone in your company communicate better, save time and become more productive. Now you have a choice to directly copy and paste your screenshots anywhere – emails, documents, and blog posts – without the need for saving it to the desktop or uploading it Jumpshare first. The Annotation tool has been expanded to include a new Copy option. The new design also works great on multi-monitor displays and allows you to view your content outside the recording area easily. You can now switch between partial and fullscreen mode before starting your recording. We’ve also updated the fullscreen controls and moved them to the left side of the screen so that it’s easily accessible. A brand new responsive control bar now helps you easily access the recording controls and has allowed us to add more options as we expand this tool, such as recording quality, aspect ratio, restart recording, and more drawing shapes. We’ve heard your feedback and completely redesigned our screen recording tool so it’s faster, more efficient, and easier to use than before. We’ve introduced a long-awaited dark mode to our Mac app (coming soon to Windows!) so it complements the dark theme of our file viewer and of macOS which is preferred by many of our users. This also means that Jumpshare is completely engineered using native code from the ground up for both Mac and Windows, making it incredibly fast and a breeze to use. We’ve re-written the architecture to make actions like switching between the libraries and searching for your uploads instant.Īt Jumpshare, our philosophy is to help users become more productive in the least number of steps possible which means allowing users to perform most of the actions from their desktop app without forcing them to visit the web dashboard. The search bar has been moved to the very top, allowing you to search all libraries in your Workspace quickly. The content area has been expanded to show 6 recent uploads, up from 5, helping you easily browse them. The first thing you will notice after updating your Jumpshare app is a brand new design with bigger and more accessible icons to access the tools on top of the window, along with quick access tabs to navigate between your libraries. Here are some of the biggest changes: A Fresh New Look We’ve also introduced Workspaces, Shared Library, a new recording tool, and more to help you work better. Jumpshare v3 comes with a brand new interface with completely redesigned elements to focus on quick visual communication and team collaboration. Today we’re thrilled to share it with the world. Early this year, in the midst of the global pandemic, we set out to build the fastest, most advanced visual communication platform. > NARRATOR: So come along with us for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through New England as you've never experienced it before, a true insider's guide from the editors of Yankee Magazine.

Next, Amy visits two gems in Biddeford's growing food scene- Time and Tide, one of the best roasters in Maine, and the seafood restaurant Fish and Whistle for an unforgettable fish chowder. She begins the day at the Lincoln Hotel, a recently opened luxury hotel whose setting reflects the town's industrial heritage. NARRATOR: This week on Weekends with Yankee, senior food editor Amy Traverso explores a popular foodie destination- Biddeford, Maine. Performance was perfectly playable with moderate settings and considering this game has an optional 15fps cap, you can tell that frame rates aren’t really important for this gameplay style. However, we were able to install the game and run around the starting area with no issue. After downloading the DMG package, launch it from Downloads section of your system. To install PlayOnMac, open the products official web site, move to Downloads section and click the link for downloading the latest version. Still, Final Fantasy XIV is another incredibly popular MMO (which you can play for free up to level 60) that specifically states that it does not support Apple Silicon on the website. PlayOnMac is a Wine-based software for easy installation of Windows applications on Mac OS. It’s common knowledge that the world’s most famous MMORPG World of Warcraft runs well on M1 and M2 Apple computers. RELATED: How Do Frame Rates Affect the Gaming Experience? MMO Bonus: Final Fantasy XIV Dips below 30 at medium detail settings and moderate resolutions aren’t uncommon, but given the nature of the game, this doesn’t really influence playability. This game is much more CPU-heavy than most titles, especially as your city starts to reach end-game complexity, but even on a base model M1 Air, you’ll get playable frame rates. Seeing a gap in the market, other developers have moved into scratch this particular itch, and Cities: Skylines is perhaps the best pretender to the crown. SimCity is the greatest city-building game franchise in history, but it’s been many years since we’ve received a new title in the series. It’s also a criminally underrated title, so it’s worth playing to experience something very different from mainstream gaming. Disco Elysium is a great example of a deep roleplaying game that’s received critical acclaim but might be overlooked as a title to load onto your MacBook for a rainy day or a trip.ĭisco Elysium runs perfectly on a base model M1 Mac and, even better, is a perfect game to play using nothing but the touchpad. There are many games that are played at a more sedate pace that you might overlook for your Apple Silicon system. Not every game has to be about fast frame rates or action. RELATED: How to Connect Any Console Game Controller to a Windows PC or Mac Disco Elysium Factor in the excellent controller support built into macOS, and you’re in for a great time. On a base M1 system, you can crank the visuals up and get a steady 30fps at high resolution or hit 60fps at medium-high settings. Racing games tend to be more optimized than other genres, and that’s true for DiRT 4. DiRT 4ĭiRT Rally is one of the best mainstream rally racing games on the market, building on a strong legacy of accessible rally games that look and feel great to play. You can cap the framerate at 30 if you wish, but the game felt entirely playable for the sections we did try even if the frame rate fluctuates somewhat. We tried Rise of the Tomb Raider using the medium preset and the frame rate capped at 60, using the 1440×900 resolution setting. That’s right, yesterday’s blockbuster AAA gaming titles are now playable on a fanless ultrabook. M1 MacBook Air: What's the Difference? Rise of the Tomb Raider It runs great on the base model M1, and if you have an M2 or higher-end M1-variant, you can have plenty of extra eye candy to boot. Still, if you want to lose hours of your life hacking, slashing, looting, and generally having a blast clicking on things until they die, Diablo 3 is an awesome choice. If that doesn't bother you, maybe getting one of these would be your lowest hassle route to Zoo Tycoon on your Mac.Sadly, Diablo, Diablo 2, and Diablo 2 Resurrected either don’t work on macOS Catalina and newer or, in the case of Resurrected, have no macOS version at all. Quite minor these days, but there all the same.ĮDIT: I should have said, there are copies of Zoo Tycoon 2 for Mac out in the wild, but not Ultimate Collection, and I don't think the expansions came out for Mac originally, either. If you're doing it for the purposes of playing Zoo Tycoon 2, you could look for a copy of Windows XP for maximum compatibility, but looking and finding are two different things, and if you do find one, installing XP to an online computer comes with some security risk. The main drawback of this approach would likely be procuring a copy of Windows. I have about an hour's worth of experience with Apple computers so don't know off the top of my head how to do so, but I believe the gist is to create a partition on your hard drive, install Windows to the partition, then use a piece of software to manage which OS you boot into on startup. Your best bet is do as Matt says, install a copy of Windows onto your Mac. If you want to have a fiddle, this is probably the most likely to find success with: Home - PlayOnMac - Run your Windows applications on Mac easily! and a cursory glance tells me that nobody's had much luck from that angle.

Each was engraved with six of the tribes of Israel. It was believed the two shoulder stones of the High Priest of the Second Temple were Aquamarines. A hoopoo with a tarragon herb before it, represented on beryl, confers the power to invoke water-spirits and to converse with them, as well as to call up the mighty dead and to obtain answers to questions addressed to them. It was said to make the wearer cheerful and rich and was excellent for lascivious and conjugal love.Ī frog, engraved on beryl, will have the power to reconcile enemies and produce friendship where there was discord. In antiquity, it was also called precious Beryl, and in Magick of Kiram in 1685, Panzoon, or “All Life.” The book advised one to engrave a crow upon the gem with a crab under its feet and wear it for joy, exultation, acquisition, and union. It is a good stone for learning to swim.Īs a love crystal, pale blue Aquamarine encourages a lover to return, helps two people with different lifestyles to live together in harmony, and reduces the effects of sensitive issues that cause quarrels.Īquamarine is often given as a love token or eternity ring, and increases commitment and fidelity “as long as the waters of the earth flow.”Īquamarine was believed to cure liver complaints and jaundice, reconcile married folks, chase away idleness and stupidity, and was sacred to the month of October.īeads of Aquamarine have been found in Egyptian mummy pits, and the Greeks used Aquamarine for intaglios more than two thousand years ago.

It inspires judgmental people to be more tolerant and helps those overwhelmed by responsibility to find order.Ī stone of natural justice, Aquamarine utilizes compromise and negotiation. It emits gentle and compassionate energy, promoting moderation and responsibility for your actions. It also allows us to explore the darkest depths of our souls, face to face with ourselves, and with others.Īquamarine encourages the ideal of service to the world and the development of a humanity attuned to healing. As a stone of symmetries, it is conducive for meditation and revelation, a stone of prophets, shamans, healers, and mystics. It becomes a mirror, reflecting itself indefinitely, making it possible to discover hidden meanings of reality. The magnetism of the moon on the included iron oxides will strengthen the stone’s forecasting ability.Īquamarine embodies all things connected to the sea, as well as those things relating to Heaven reflected on the surface of the water. Present-day supporters of crystal-gazing suggest that when using an Aquamarine to view coming events, do so when the moon is increasing. Ancient seer considered it to be under the influence of the moon, an orb exerting very great magnetic influence. Its color, sometimes bluish green, is caused by iron oxides within the chemical makeup of the stone. The pale blue, transparent crystal is a member of the Beryl family. The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning “water of the sea,” and refers to its sparkling ocean-like color. In that search I also turned up quite a few artists referring to analog drawings as compared with digital art with the same connotation I have, which is that one is not superior to the other, they’re simply different approaches to the activity. Ditto plenty of references to “analog bike,” including ones in coverage from bike industry media comparing sales of the two types. – ran a Twitter search and found plenty of people using “acoustic bike” in a non-sarcastic sense, including a bike mechanic who works on both. I call mine a pedal bike, which makes no sense. Traditional is just more… um, traditional. I use “regular” for mine, but I don’t love it. – So my actual preference is “acoustic” (partly because it echoes Dylan_controversy …, so biking musician bro gets an irony award ) but “muscle” popped up once, I think it has a whiff of ableist hence bad, but in certain contexts ( vs trucks e.g) I think it works. I usually use acoustic informally, sometimes “pushbike” which used to be somewhat common for distinguishing bicycle vs motorbike. I invited people to reply with options beyond those I could list in a 4-item Twitter poll and got these: What term do you like for traditional (non e-bike) bicycles? Propose other answers via replies.Įarly returns went strong for “acoustic”. Of course I had to run a Twitter poll while I still can. Plus, I should get bonus points for “analog analogy”.) (OK, yes, not a perfect application of the analog/digital analogy, but not bad. So essentially the bicycling “signal” is continuous. The thing is, e-bikes actually fulfill characteristics of being analog in that you can keep riding them even if the battery (thinking of that as the “digital” component) goes dead. So far no bicycling programmers have jumped on me to explain the difference between digital technologies and analog ones. I’ve also referred to traditional bicycles as “analog”. Possibly the single most apropos usage of the term: the Acoustic Bicycle Tour by Taylor Ho Bynum, a musician traveling by bike. #EBikes #BikeLife #BikeStyle- Barb Chamberlain November 11, 2021īringing this question back around on Twitter yielded new fun finds, like Frank Zappa playing the bicycle on the Steve Allen Show in 1963.ĭe rigueur here - Jimlets N. Humorless people On Here have informed me that I should not use the term “acoustic bike” when comparing my analog bike to my ebike. When I searched on Twitter I found my follow-up commentary, which I deliberately kept separate from the original thread with That Person because trolls gonna troll. It was almost exactly a year ago that I had that exchange with the angry biking musician. Plus he only plays one instrument and I play two.- Barb Chamberlain November 19, 2022 Turns out he searches out uses of that phrase and jumps on others too. Got lambasted by a bicycling musician who wanted to mansplain at me. I referred to traditional bicycles as “acoustic” in a discussion of e-bikes. i think mine is when somebody told me i was rich and privileged for saying back service corridors at malls are scary at night when i was in the service corridor bc i worked there What’s the funniest thing someone’s ever gotten mad at you for on here. A recent tweet asking the funniest thing anyone ever got mad at me for on the platform reminded me yet again of this wording question. On Twitter (RIP) I’ve read and used a variety of terms. If it isn’t an e-bike, what term describes the bicycle that doesn’t have an electric pedal-assist motor? Ask someone what kind of bicycle they have and they may describe it as a road bike, upright or city bike, gravel bike, mountain bike, family bike, cargo bike, fat bike, trike or tricycle–the list goes on, and for most of these it may also have an e-assist so it’s an e-bike. There might be some subtle cosmetic variations, but by and large a truck was a truck. There was a time, not so long ago, when all pick-ups were pretty much the same. What financing options are available, and how do you go about finding a loan that won't become a hardship down the road? These are critical questions, and they need to be asked before you ever think about setting foot in a dealer's showroom. How much can you truly afford and should you focus entirely on new models or should you consider the used market? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, how are you going to pay. Are you strictly looking for a utility vehicle, or do you want something that can do double duty as a work truck and a recreational vehicle? Do you need a light pick-up for your weekend DIY projects, or are you in the market for something stylish that can officially replace the family car? Then there's your budget to consider. You have to start by thinking about what type is best suited to your specific needs. Of course, there's a lot to consider when buying. By April 2020 pickups and SUVs accounted for 77.2% of passenger car sales in the United States. In 2018 Ford announced the only car model they would build beyond their truck line is the Mustang. With all that modern trucks have to offer, it's hardly surprising that more and more consumers are entering the market. Over the last few decades that battered old blue collar workhorse has been transformed into a multipurpose vehicle equally at home hauling cargo or towing a trailer as it is chauffeuring the kids to and from school or taking the family on a cross country vacation. The calculator can assist with budgeting and loan decision-making by providing an estimate of the monthly payment.Today, you're just as likely to find a pick-up in the parking lot of a Fortune 500 company as you are on a dusty old construction site. In conclusion, a truck loan payment calculator can be a helpful tool for anyone considering financing a truck. Before finalizing a loan, it’s recommended to consult with a lender and review the loan terms and conditions. Other factors, such as taxes and insurance, can affect the monthly payment. It’s important to remember that the monthly payment estimate provided by a truck loan payment calculator is just an estimate and may not reflect the actual payment. The calculator may also display additional loan information, such as the total amount you will pay over the life of the loan and the total interest paid. Once the information is entered, the truck loan payment calculator will estimate the monthly payment based on the inputs. A larger down payment can reduce a loan’s monthly and overall interest. Loan term: This is the length of the loan, measured in months.ĭown payment: This is the amount you will pay upfront for the truck. Interest rate: The interest rate is the amount charged by the lender for using the loaned money. Loan amount: This is the total amount you want to borrow for the truck. Here is the information that is typically needed for the calculation: By inputting certain loan-related information, the calculator can provide an estimate of what the monthly payment could be.

In 1967, while aboard the USS Forrestal, McCain nearly lost his life when a malfunctioning missile fired from one aircraft struck another A-4 next to his. Senator John McCain – During the Vietnam War, John McCain, a naval aviator prisoner of war (POW) in Vietnam, long-time senator, and Presidential contender, was an A-4 Skyhawk pilot. Lieutenant McCain standing by a T-2 Buckeye trainer, 1965 We will take a moment to get to know this attack fighter with a few facts below. Though not as well known as bigger multirole fighters of its time, the A-4 still cemented its own place in history. The A-4 was the first aircraft to drop a bomb in Vietnam and one of the last aircraft shot down during that war, resulting in one of the final times a pilot was captured and held as a prisoner of war (POW) in Vietnam. The A-4E Skyhawk was a formidable attack platform, a perfect fit for the Vietnam War due to its speed, maneuverability, and ruggedness since the enemy primarily used anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) and small arms fire to defend against aircraft. We’ve included more information about that in the facts below. Though the Skyhawk had been flown since 1957, it would be eight years later, during the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, that the Navy’s A-4 would see its first combat missions. It was introduced into service in October 1956 and during its production years between 19 2,960 would be produced. Despite its small airframe, the A-4E version contained major upgrades to its engines and strengthening of the frame to accommodate more weapons pylons and avionics improvements. It had a delta wing, which is a short-span wing design, enabling many to be stored on a carrier without complicated wingtip folding requirements. The A-4 had a small airframe that allowed for easier storage on the smaller aircraft carriers from the World War II era.
