![]() It’s often found in laundry detergents, especially ones meant for white loads. Most of us know that bleach is toxic, but many don’t know just how dangerous it can be. (Although formaldehyde occurs naturally in our bodies and environments, its problems arise when included in products at high amounts.) Chlorine Bleach According to the EPA, formaldehyde is a class B1 probable carcinogen, which means it can probably cause cancer. Most of us know about formaldehyde because it’s used to preserve dead bodies, but it’s also commonly found in many laundry detergents. Not only that, but when they end up in our wastewater systems, phosphates can interfere with the ecosystems necessary for aquatic life health and survival. Some evidence links phosphates to illnesses such as cardiovascular disease. Although ethoxylated ingredients are practically impossible to avoid completely, it’s something to consider reducing your exposure to when possible. ![]() ![]() Ethylene oxide is known to cause multiple types of cancer and infertility, and 1,4-dioxane is a carcinogen. While SLES is less irritating than SLS, it can be contaminated with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane due to the way it’s made. SLS and SLES have been found to irritate and inflame the skin, eyes, and lungs. SLS and SLES were originally developed to degrease garage floors! As foaming agents and dirt removers, these are some of the most commonly used ingredients in laundry detergents as well as shampoos, dishwashing liquid, and other kinds of soaps. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) Phthalates can be endocrine disruptors, which means they can interfere with hormone functioning and lead to things like infertility and cancer. They may or may not be listed under the ingredients because they can sneak in under the “fragrance” label. Phthalates are chemicals that are often used in laundry detergents to make the scents last longer. You can learn more about this issue right here. Some of these chemicals are safe, while others (like phthalates and VOCs) are known toxins. In the U.S., companies are legally allowed to hide almost 4,000 different chemicals under the word “fragrance” or “parfum,” without actually disclosing the ingredients to consumers. Even the brands that are marketed as “clean” or “green” can contain mystery fragrances that can potentially cause problems. This is a big one when it comes to laundry detergents. Toxins in Laundry Detergent: Chemicals to Avoidīefore we dive into our recommended brands, let’s review some of the most common ingredients in laundry detergents that have been linked to health problems: Mystery Fragrances RELATED: These are the best non-toxic cleaning products for your whole home. Those who are extra sensitive or have chronic health concerns may be more likely to react negatively to the ingredients in common laundry detergents compared to those who are healthier and more equipped to process certain toxins and get them out of their bodies.Ĭommon ingredients found in conventional laundry detergents have been linked to issues like:Įven those individuals who don’t have strong or immediate reactions to specific brands of detergents would do well to consider switching to a safer alternative since these chemicals, especially when used in small quantities, tend to show the most damage over long periods of time (both to our bodies and to our ecosystems!). Whether or not your laundry detergent will actually cause issues depends on a lot of different factors, including age, total toxic burden, other health concerns, and more.
![]() You should only rename and move images within Lightroom. A missing drive is the best case scenario for reconnecting missing photos since all you have to do is reconnect that drive to your computer and all of the images will automatically come back online.Īnother reason that photos and folders become disconnected in LR is because they were moved or renamed outside of the Lightroom application. If there are any drives that are not connected they will be grayed out. When you expand the Folders Tab you will see a list of all of the hard drives that Lightroom is referencing. The easiest way to check if you have a missing hard drive is to look at the “Folders Tab” in the “Library Module”. One reason your photos go missing is because the external hard drive that Lightroom is referencing is not connected to your computer. This allows photographers to create very flexible workflows but it also creates a good opportunity to lose your images if you are not organized or do not understand how Lightroom handles files. Adobe Lightroom does not nest your photos into a single folder which means a single Lightroom catalog can reference images and videos from various folders and even multiple hard drives. Applications like the Photos App on a mac store all of your photos in a single folder and nests them within the application itself. Why photos Become Disconnect or go Missing in Lightroom Classicīefore you learn how to reconnect missing images, it is important to understand why they become disconnected in the first place. This is the easiest way to know if you have any missing photos in your catalog. To search for missing photos navigate to the top menu and click Library > Find All Missing Photos. Lightroom also allows you to search for missing photos. If a folder becomes disconnected you will see a question mark icon on top of the folder and it will become dark gray. ![]() If a photo becomes disconnected from the Lightroom catalog an exclamation point will display in the upper right hand corner of the image thumbnail. How to Tell when a Photo or Folder is Missing or Disconnected ![]() ![]() Corel is a bit vague about how exactly these great buzzwords are applied in the use of the tool on our individual computers, but there’s no denying that it’s an interesting tool to use. It’s designed to quickly turn sketches drawn within the program into vectors in real-time, “based on the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning”. LiveSketch is an impressive new drawing tool that features prominently in the current version of CorelDRAW. You can create vector paths in countless different ways, and the tools available for manipulating them and adjusting them are easily among the best I’ve worked with, but the most interesting has to be LiveSketch. The vector drawing tools in CorelDRAW are very well designed, regardless of what keyboard shortcuts you use to access them. These can all be remapped, but it feels like some extra thought could go into the default options – including adding a default shortcut for the basic Pick tool, which is regularly used to select and move objects around the canvas. Most people are fairly comfortable typing on a keyboard, but the function keys are so rarely used in other programs that even my keyboard-friendly fingers aren’t too accurate when reaching for them without looking. There is one odd thing that bothered me, though: the keyboard shortcuts for common tools are a strange mix of QWERTY keys and function keys (F1, F2, etc), which makes for some slower than normal tool switching. Overall the interface is quite effective for all of CorelDRAW’s primary tasks, and the customization options are excellent. You can even customize the way that paths, handles and nodes are drawn for vector shapes, ensuring that the interface will work exactly the way you want it to. ![]() Once you dive down the customization rabbit hole, it turns out that you can customize almost every aspect of the interface from the color to the scale of various UI elements. I’m not sure I understand the reason for this extra step, as it would be simple enough to just leave them all unlocked. It is also possible to customize the layout of some of the UI aspects such as the color picker and the contents of the docker panel on the right, but the toolbars are fixed until you go into the customization options to unlock them. If you want to make it even more similar, you can adjust the background color of the program to the soothing dark gray Adobe has been using lately. Interestingly, Corel is actively attempting to ease the transition for users who are switching from Adobe Illustrator by going so far as to offer a custom workspace specifically geared towards imitating the Illustrator layout – although even the default is fairly similar already. One is aimed at new users who want a simplified interface, but there are also custom workspaces designed for illustration tasks, page layout tasks, and touch-based hardware, as well as the simplified ‘Lite’ workspace for new users who don’t want to be overwhelmed with features right away. The docker panel on the right is currently displaying the ‘Hints’ section, a helpful built-in resource that explains how each tool functionsĬorel has included a number of custom interface layouts known as workspaces. The CorelDRAW user interface follows the fairly standard pattern for graphics editing programs: a main working window surrounded by tools on the left and top, with customization and adjustment options appearing on the right in a customizable area known as the ‘docker’ panel. Screenshots below were taken from an earlier version, while the latest version is CorelDRAW 2021. Instead, we’ll focus on the user interface and how effective it is at the primary tasks it’s designed for, as well as looking at a couple of the most appealing features. Note: CorelDRAW combines a lot of features into a single program, so we don’t have time or space to explore everything it can do in this review. Detailed Review of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite All of this combines with my love of computers and technology to give me a unique perspective on software, and I’m here to share it all with you.ĭisclaimer: Corel provided me with no compensation or consideration for writing this review, and they have had no editorial input or review of the final content. This career has given me experience with a wide range of graphics and image editing programs, from small open-source software efforts to industry-standard software suites, as well as some training in user interface design. I’ve got a design degree from the York University/Sheridan College Joint Program in Design, although I started working in the design world well before I graduated. Hi, my name is Thomas Boldt, and I’ve been working in the graphic arts for well over a decade. ![]() Detailed Review of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. ![]() ![]() ![]() If this number is copied without accurate attention to the spaces it can appear as "1 2 5 12 2" or as "1 25 1 22" - obviously many mistakes are possible. To demonstrate the problem, imagine a number that uses four places, with the corresponding allocations "1 25 12 2". Correct spacing of the pictographs in a Babylonian number was therefore of utmost importance. The Babylonian system still required several symbols to indicate the value of each power of the base 60 in a number. To begin with, our modern notation indicates every digit in a number through a single symbol (one from the set of numerals 0 - 9). There is no doubt that science in Babylon made rapid progress after the invention of the place-value system. The admiration of the place-value system expressed by the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace in the early 19th century is an acknowledgment of the genius exhibited by some unknown scientists of Babylon: "The idea is so simple that this very simplicity is the reason for our not being sufficiently aware how much admiration it deserves." It used the same principle that we use today when we write our numbers in decimal notation: 1859ġ (x 10 3) + 8 (x 10 2) + 5 (x 10) + 9 (x 1)Ĥ (x 10 3) + 8 (x 10 2) + 1 (x 10) + 8 (x 1)īabylonian scientists could therefore use the same simple rules for multiplication and long division that we use some 4,000 years later. Instead of building a number by adding as many basic number elements as necessary they began to build them by adding powers of the number base: Two examples of Sumerian and Babylonian number notation The Babylonian scientists adopted the Sumerian cuneiform script for their numbers but changed the way of writing them down drastically. (The bible mentions Babylon's 91 m tall ziggurat (temple pyramid) as the "Tower of Babel", built to defy the gods through its height.) It developed into the biggest city of the world of its time, and its temples and public buildings reached world fame. Why did it not survive? Why did quite advanced civilizations struggle on with absolute value systems until at least 200 BC, if not later? The number system of Babylonīabylon became the capital of southern Mesopotamia in about 1780 BC. We see from the list that the Babylonian place-value system preceded all others by nearly two thousand years. Central America by the Maya (around 400 - 600 AD). ![]() Mesopotamia by the Babylonians (1800 BC).Place-value systems were developed independently in All we need to know is the basic multiplication table and the rules for addition: In a position-value system the operation follows very simple rules. Multiplication of CCXII with XVI is obviously not straightforward. To see the giant leap forward let us try a simple calculation: How do you multiply 212 by 16? In Roman numerals this is written as CCXII * XVI. The principle appears so simple that it is hard to believe how long it took before a human mind came up with the idea. We all use a place-value number system every day without realizing what a magnificent invention it is. The last lecture foreshadowed the development of place-value number systems as one of the greatest achievements of the human mind.

"There's no such thing as a cheat meal to me," Rush said. Rush, also known as The Jacked Chef, prioritizes protein and whole foods - "I love vegetables, but I love meat also," he said - but he doesn't have any strict rules around food groups. "I'm an endurance trainer, even now at my age and at my size, my body still burns weight like crazy," he said. If he doesn't keep his food up, he loses weight. "I eat three to four chickens a day, I eat a lot," he said. Rush, 47, weighs around 275 pounds and although he doesn't track macros or calories, he aims to eat 60% protein, and 20% each carbs and fats. "There's literally no effort to get to 6,000 calories," he said. Rush, who previously worked as a White House chef and went viral for the size of his biceps (24 inches), told Insider that although it sounds like he eats a lot, it's not hard for him. Celebrity chef and military combat veteran Andre Rush eats 6,000-10,000 calories a day to maintain his size and fuel his lifestyle. ![]() ![]() He suggested that the globe be divided into 24 time zones, each separated by 15 degrees of longitude. ![]() In 1878, Canadian Sir Sandford Fleming proposed the current system of global time zones. History of The Standardization of Time Zones Typically, your country’s government or an astronomical institute defines time zones, which are represented by three or four letters. In addition, we have Daylight Savings Time, which is also a Time Zone variation, in order to save energy. Occasionally, individuals in not-so-distant locations require the same time as those in not-so-distant locations, so the division is now much more political than geographic. The Time Zone is a geographical world globe division of 15o each, beginning at Greenwich, England, designed to assist people in determining what time it is in another part of the world. The General Time Zone converts between all time zones that enable the Chicago time zone. It converts Chicago time to the local time in other time zones. In Connecticut, timepieces are typically adjusted annually (once forward and once backward each year). It is either one or the other, depending on the season. This time zone is divided into two “sub” time zones, CST and CDT. Within this time zone are numerous cities and states.
![]() The concept of waves of enemies attacking the base in single file (in this case AT-ATs) proved a formula that was subsequently copied by many games as the shift from arcade to PC gaming began. Parker Brothers' 1982 title Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back for the Atari 2600 was one of the first tie-ins to popularize the base defense style. In these games, defending non-players from waves of attackers is key to progressing. While later arcade games like Defender (1981) and Choplifter (1982) lacked the strategy element of Missile Command, they began a trend of games that shifted the primary objective to defending non-player items. For these reasons, some regard it as the first true game in the genre. Additionally, in Missile Command, the sole target of the attackers is the base, not a specific player character. ![]() The innovation was ahead of its time and anticipated the genre's later boom, which was paved by the wide adoption of the computer mouse. Missile Command was also the first of its kind to make use of a pointing device, a trackball, enabling players to use a crosshair. In the game, players could obstruct incoming missiles, and there were multiple attack paths in each attack wave. The 1980 game Missile Command changed that by giving shields a more strategic role. The game featured shields that could be used to strategically obstruct enemy attacks on the player and assist the player in defending their territory, though not to expressly protect the territory. The object of the arcade game Space Invaders, released in 1978, was to defend the player's territory (represented by the bottom of the screen) against waves of incoming enemies. The tower defense genre can trace its lineage back to the golden age of arcade video games in the 1980s. Strategic choice and positioning of defensive elements is an essential strategy of the genre. Tower defense is seen as a subgenre of real-time strategy video games, due to its real-time origins, even though many modern tower defense games include aspects of turn-based strategy. ![]() ![]() This typically means building a variety of different structures that serve to automatically block, impede, attack or destroy enemies. Tower defense ( TD) is a subgenre of strategy games where the goal is to defend a player's territories or possessions by obstructing the enemy attackers or by stopping enemies from reaching the exits, usually achieved by placing defensive structures on or along their path of attack. ![]() ![]() In fact, both grow loud and coarse under heavy throttle, though they cruise fairly quietly. ![]() Neither engine is a paragon of refinement. Like Toyota’s Matrix, Vibe is subject to crosswind wander at highway speeds. Steering feel is generally good in both models.

An available pop-up cargo organizer provided divided storage compartments and bag hooks. All Vibes had 60/40 split folding rear seatbacks. GM’s OnStar assistance also was standard. Standard safety features included antilock brakes, traction control, an antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. A five-speed automatic was optional on front-drive Vibes with the 2.4-liter engine.
