It is undeniable that to limit global warming to 1.5C we must all rapidly reduce carbon emissions and phase-out the use of fossil fuels by 2035 at the latest. Prof Sir David King, the chair of the Climate Crisis Advisory Group and a former UK chief scientific adviser, said: “It is incredibly concerning and surprising to hear the Cop28 president defend the use of fossil fuels. The science is absolutely clear that absolutely means a phase-out by mid-century, which will enhance the lives of all of humanity.” “Al Jaber is asking for a 1.5C roadmap – anyone who cares can find that in the International Energy Agency’s latest net zero emissions scenario, which says there cannot be any new fossil fuel development. ‘Sending us back to caves’ is the oldest of fossil fuel industry tropes: it’s verging on climate denial.” Phase out, with a clear timeframe.”īill Hare, the chief executive of Climate Analytics, said: “This is an extraordinary, revealing, worrying and belligerent exchange. Guterres told Cop28 delegates on Friday: “The science is clear: The 1.5C limit is only possible if we ultimately stop burning all fossil fuels. “I don’t think will be able to help solve the climate problem by pointing fingers or contributing to the polarisation and the divide that is already happening in the world. I am telling you I am the man in charge.”Īl Jaber then said: “Please help me, show me the roadmap for a phase-out of fossil fuel that will allow for sustainable socioeconomic development, unless you want to take the world back into caves.” Robinson challenged him further, saying: “I read that your company is investing in a lot more fossil fuel in the future.” Al Jaber responded: “You’re reading your own media, which is biased and wrong. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.” I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. That is the one decision that Cop28 can take and in many ways, because you’re head of Adnoc, you could actually take it with more credibility.”Īl Jaber said: “I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. Robinson said: “We’re in an absolute crisis that is hurting women and children more than anyone … and it’s because we have not yet committed to phasing out fossil fuel. Deep and rapid cuts are needed to bring fossil fuel emissions to zero and limit fast-worsening climate impacts.Īl Jaber spoke with Robinson at a She Changes Climate event. More than 100 countries already support a phase-out of fossil fuels and whether the final Cop28 agreement calls for this or uses weaker language such as “phase-down” is one of the most fiercely fought issues at the summit and may be the key determinant of its success.

Those lovely layers are going to make your tart pastry beautifully crisp and flaky. (Cut a thin layer off each end and discard.) Use a pastry cutter or sharp knife to cut the pastry log into about 3/4 inch thick rounds. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature it will go (I heated mine to 525 degrees F). Wrap the pastry roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the pastry dough out to roughly a 11×14 inch rectangle.īeginning at the short end, roll up the pastry dough, rolling it tightly as you go along. You can make this in advance and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve to strain out any chunky bits.Ĭover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until ready to use. The custard will be very thin, this is normal. In a thin, steady stream pour the syrup into the egg/flour mixture, whisking constantly. Turn off the heat and add the flour and salt to the hot milk and whisk constantly until the mixture is nice and thick.Īdd the egg yolks and whisk until combined. In a separate medium saucepan scald the milk (heat until up to the boiling point but don’t let it boil). Remove from the heat and let it cool for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer – without stirring – until it reachers 220 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Place the water, sugar, cinnamon and lemon rind in a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil. They’re best enjoyed warm within a few hours of baking when the pastry is nice and crispy and the custard is delicately smooth and creamy. These pastries are commonly served with a dusting of powdered sugar, cinnamon, or both. However you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. Pasteis de Nata are best eaten warm (or cold) the same day they are baked. So while you can freeze them if you find you have more than you can eat, just know that the texture won’t be nearly as good as freshly baked. Like most products with dairy, the fats and water thaw at different rates leaving you with soggy pastry crust and custard that has split. You can freeze them in an airtight container or in freezer bags for up to 3 months, however they don’t thaw well. It is still operated by the original family’s descendants today. The monastery closed in 1834 and the recipe was sold to a sugar refinery whose owners opened the bakery, the Fábrica de Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon, in 1837. The pastry was created sometime prior to the 18th century by Catholic monks of the Jerónimos Monastery. Some people also refer to them as Pastéis de Belém (pastries of Bethlehem) but that name is a patented one and refers strictly to the pastries made in that specific bakery. The tarts are baked at a blazingly hot temperature until the tops are scorched. What are Pastéis de Nata?Ī pastel de nata is a Portuguese custard tart made with puff pastry and filled with egg custard that is served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. On our most recent trip to Lisbon, Portugal we made it a point to sample (as many as we could fit!) the city’s famous pastry that The Guardian designated as among the world’s “50 best things to eat.” Today I’m sharing with you how to make the perfect pastel de nata with the finest texture and best balance of flavors. Crispy-crunchy pastry crust with a smooth and creamy custard filling is what awaits your bite into these traditional, world famous sweet custard tarts from Lisbon, Portugal! A thoroughly traditional Pastéis de Nata recipe. Independent Interstate Society (IIS) – disbanded, merged with Highway Workers Union (HWU).Motorway Extension Gurus (MEG) since October 15, 2019.Highway Workers Union (HWU) since September 10, 2020.Multiple spawnfags fly idle, waiting for unsuspecting newfags to come into their render distance on the highways to massacre them.Īn updated version of the highway map can be seen here in the website of HWU: Groupsĭigging, building, and maintaining highways are done by several groups. Highways near Spawn are always griefed, blocked, or obliterated due to the chaotic nature of 2b2t's various spawns. It is common to see many players on the highways, both maintenance personnel as well as travellers to or from spawn. This allows easy access to any part of the world within 400,000 blocks of spawn. The 100,000 x 100,000 Grid: Built in mid 2023 by HWU, a grid of highways were built with 50,000 blocks of spawn (equivalent to 400,000 in overworld) and consist of 20 highways parallel to X axis highway, as well as 20 highways parallel to the Z axis highway, each spaced 5,000 blocks apart on both directions, forming a grid.The paved highways include 5k, 25k and 50k, while the unpaved ones include 125k, 250k, 500k, 3.75M. This allows faster travel around the axes without needed to venture into spawn. The Diamond Ring Roads: These ring roads run diagonally from one major axes to another, intersecting a diagonal perpendicularly at half the radius.The paved highways include (but are not limited to) every one thousand blocks till 30k, followed by 35k, 40k, 45k, 50k, 125k). They are dug in different radii around spawn. The Square Ring Roads: They are ring roads around origin running perpendicular to the major axes, with each of the eight legs running from a major axis to a diagonal highway.The Diagonals: These highways, much like the major axes, start at spawn (0, 0) and follow the diagonals all the way till the nether world border.They are paved with obsidian until at least 1 Million nether, and the +X highway is paved to the Overworld World Border (Nether X: +3,750,000, Z: 0). The Major Axes: The most frequently travelled on, these highways start at spawn (0, 0) along the major axes (+X, +Z, -X, -Z) and all four are dug until the Nether world border.The main highways (which are dug either in 6x4 format for straight or 7x4 format for diagonals) are categorized as follows: The highways consist of flat blocks to walk on and two guardrails, one on each side. The paved highways are made out of obsidian to avoid griefing. 6.1 Nether spawn region (100K overworld / 12.5K nether)Ģb2t’s nether highways are known as a safe and fast method to travel since one block in the Nether equals eight blocks in the Overworld. se Heads you win Tails I lose Bad news Oh well match me honey(match me honey) Take my money(take my money) You know the odds are yo 10 2.Heads You Win Tails I Lose lson Gary Usher Music Brian Wilson Gary Usher Every time We have a fight We flip a coin To see who's right Why do we have to gamble just to see who's right?

I’d recommend NOT using a fingerprint reader. The smart padlocks also tend to be more affordable than smart deadbolts. Smart padlocks offer several advantages over a deadbolt, the main advantage being that you don’t have to modify the gate to support a deadbolt. In lieu of a smart deadbolt, you may be able to use a smart padlock as your outdoor gate lock. Use Smart Lock Covers to Protect the Non-Weatherproof Side Use of this lock on a gate will require that the gate have a gate box installed to support a standard 2 3/8 backset lock. The smart lock installed on the gate must be within communication range of the bridge (~20 ft) and the bridge within communication range of your wi-fi network. The location of where you install the bridge will be critical. The lock talks to the bridge and the bridge talks to your wi-fi. A bridge is just something that is plugged into an outlet and acts the communication channel between your lock and your wi-fi. One thing to be aware of is that the lock connects to a bridge inside the home. Can be opened using a backup key override as it has a physical keyhole.Can be opened by shaking your phone when near the lock.A fingerprint sensor allowing you to register fingerprints – up to 100.Lock communication using a smartphone app.In addition to pin codes, the lock boasts: The one I know my customers have used and have said works well for them, is the ULTRALOQ U元 available on Amazon. They are typically brought in direct from overseas, use very inexpensive parts, and do not have a track record of success.īut, they are very affordable, so even if it only lasts a couple of years and is then replaced, because the locks are very affordable compared to the brand names, this may be worth it for you. ULTRALOQ Outdoor Weather Resistant Smart Lock is available from Amazon.Īs a professional locksmith, we don’t normally sell non-name brands. Major brands do not design both sides of the smart lock to be weatherproof, but a few non-brand versions are claiming to be weather resistant on both sides. Smart Locks for Gate Solutions That Work Choose a Non-Name-Brand Smart Lockįor deadbolt smart lock on your gate, you can use a non-name brand. Here we are focused on how to use smart locks on a gate. We cover keyless gate locking considerations and other options in our online article. When you think about a smart features, the most desired are multiple access codes, unlock and lock remotely, remote access, auto unlock at set times, and monitoring.Ĭan you let someone in when you are not at the location? Can you lock someone out when you are not at the locations? Can you issue pin codes and delete user pin codes when you’re not at the location? Can you check to see who has entered and when?Įven though there are no name-brand smart locks for gates if you need the features, you can get most of them using add-on products, non-name-brand locks, or alternatives to smart locks. If you only want to eliminate keys, there are more affordable options, that are easier to install and cost much less, than smart door locks. What is it you are trying to accomplish? Do you just want to stop using keys? Or do you want all of the features available in a versatile smart lock? Smart Lock Options that Work for Outdoor GatesĪ Non-Smart, but Keypad Lock that Works GreatĬonclusions Do You Need The Smart Features? But, there are alternatives to get most, if not all, the desired functionality. Only one smart lock we know of, the ULTRALOQ, claims support for outdoor gates. Smart locks are designed to be installed on a home’s front door, where half of the lock is inside. You cannot use most smart locks on a gate. There is a big demand from customers wanting to install keyless smart locks on their gates so that they can use the smart features (such as tracking who enters and when) or just so they can stop providing keys to those that need access. With residential lock technology making big advances in the past two years, our Gate Lock and Gate Closer Service department gets asked this question almost daily. The Inside Half of a Smart Lock is Not Made Weather Resistant Can You Install a Smart Lock on Outdoor Gates? When in the system selection or game list screens, press the START button. It will eventually run out of battery and the unsafe shutdown may result in data corruption. However, we don’t recommend leaving your device in sleep mode for days at a time. This mode drains the battery at a very slow rate. If you press the power button again, the device will quickly return to the state it was in before entering sleep mode. You can put your PowKiddy handheld into sleep mode with a short-press of the POWER button. It is also considered to be a seminal 3D game. It should run at a smooth 60fps, due to the fact that it doesn’t require an emulation layer, and can be compared with the version available for Nintendo 64 emulation. Of particular interest may be sm64, the native port of Super Mario 64. Ports are games that have been ported to run natively on your device. This tells Retroarch’s cores to conform to the shape of each device’s original screen shape, preventing games from appearing squashed. We have configured shaders to improve the display of these retro games on your RGB20S’s high-resolution screen. To try a different emulator, see Hints -> Trying different cores/emulators in this guide. We have set the core used for emulation to RETRORUN32 -> Flycast32_Rumble. Save the changes by going back up a menu level (press B) until you see the Overrides item then select Overrides -> Save Current Directory Overrides. If you would like to try a different colour palette, bring up the Retroarch Quick Menu while in-game ( SELECT + X), then going to Options -> Internal Palette. GameBoy Set the screen colour to a light green, matching the original GameBoy display You can show the menu used to alter these settings by pressing L2. PSP pushes the limit of what this kind of device can emulate, but these settings give you the best available experience. Our configurations are based on those found at. That folder contains configuration files for other games you may choose to install in the future. The configuration files are stored in psp/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ on the EASYROMS partition of the SD card. We have tuned the configuration for each installed game. We have configured the inputs to match the common layout used for N64 emulation ( L1 used for L-targeting, right analogue-stick directions used for C-inputs). Without configuration, this emulator uses an incomplete and uncomfortable mapping for the inputs. Configure the button-mapping for use with Standalone-Rice Standalone-Rice performs better on this device than the default Parallel-N64 retroarch core. We have further refined the configuration of the firmware with settings specific to the RGB20S. In our testing, ArkOS provided excellent balance between ease of use and performance. We have replaced the stock firmware with the ArkOS custom firmware.

To keep the information precise and to attempt to interpret some of the associated technical details, the methods have been broken down into subheadings. This may require community partnerships or a serious cost-benefit analysis or both. More discriminatory methods carry a much larger price tag to invest in the proper equipment. This is due to the fact that some clinics may be able to easily access more discriminatory methods, through direct funding or industry partnership, whereas some clinics may have to rely on less precise testing methodologies and equipment due to lack of funding or support. Therefore, any of the following methods may be suitable on a case-by-case basis. Not all of these methods are easily accessible in a point-of-care framework, as some require high technical knowledge and/or a laboratory setting. As such, these methods have been proven to be effective in the analysis of unknown (forensic) examination of illicit substances and are therefore also the best methods to use in identifying unknown substances. Scientific Working Groups consist of scientific subject-matter experts who collaborate to determine best practices and develop consensus standards. The following methods have been validated by the Scientific Working Group for the Analysis of Seized Drugs (SWGDRUG). Please note that the legal issues surrounding, and the service models of, drug testing are beyond the scope of this paper. In this paper, we use the term “drug testing” to refer to the forensic testing of illicit substances in their intended consumption form. We will conclude with recommendations for point-of-care testing of illicit substances. The goal of this paper is to describe the most common methods of testing chemical substances in both laboratory and point-of-care settings. While there are certainly legal hurdles to overcome when it comes to drug testing, there are three primary advantages to testing drugs before they are consumed: short- and long-term adverse effects (including overdose and fatality) can be avoided by the person using the substance other institutions (such as hospitals) and public health authorities can be made aware when a lethal or novel substance begins to circulate and, a global picture of drugs in circulation can be generated. In Canada, the Standing Committee on Health recommended that the Government of Canada grant exemptions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act so that drug testing could occur at designated sites. More recently, in Canada, drug testing is becoming more common at music festivals. Indeed, various approaches to drug testing have been around, even in North America, for decades. Drug, pill, and substance testing are increasingly being used as a harm reduction strategy throughout the world to decrease the risk of adverse effects. Harm reduction sites and/or clinics are increasing in number and service provision across the world, making it crucial to provide point-of-care workers with the tools and knowledge necessary to provide proper care for people who use drugs. Given the current opioid crisis in Canada and around the world, harm reduction agencies are seeking to help people who use drugs to do so more safely. Lower tech options, such as spot/color tests and immunoassays, are limited in their use but affordable and easy to use. It would be prudent for agencies or clinics that can obtain the funding to contact the companies who produce these devices to discuss possible usage in a harm reduction setting. The goal of this paper is to describe the most common methods for testing illicit substances and then, based on this broad, encompassing review, recommend the most appropriate methods for testing at point of care.īased on our review, the best methods for point-of-care drug testing are handheld infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and ion mobility spectrometry mass spectrometry is the current gold standard in forensic drug analysis. While these technologies have been used for years in Europe (Nightlife Empowerment & Well-being Implementation Project, Drug Checking Service: Good Practice Standards Trans European Drugs Information (TEDI) Workgroup, Factsheet on Drug Checking in Europe, 2011 European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction, An Inventory of On-site Pill-Testing Interventions in the EU: Fact Files, 2001), they are only now starting to be utilized in this context in North America. Many harm reduction agencies are exploring techniques to test illicit drugs to identify and, where possible, quantify their constituents allowing their users to make informed decisions. \) Diagram showing the sample properties related to the selection of HPLC type of analysis.Given the current opioid crisis around the world, harm reduction agencies are seeking to help people who use drugs to do so more safely.

You can now select multiple files for removal or rearrangement and you can save configurations via Box or Dropbox, or use a history browser to access prior renaming actions. There are also now more ways to add files to the file list (including copying and pasting, dragging and dropping, or choosing from File > Open). One particularly nice example of the latter is that status “lights” now appear next to proposed new filenames to alert you to potential duplicates or other problems. The user interface has also been revamped, with more options for tweaking the app’s appearance (light or dark backgrounds, for example) and better user feedback. Name Mangler warns you if a renaming operation will result in duplicate filenames. There are also a bunch of new tools for Advanced-mode scripts, including new functions and variables and the capability to pause scripts to prompt for user input. There are lots of other smaller improvements throughout the app, including a new suffix option when you rename by sequence new date and time formats (yyyy and yyyy-MM, and HH-mm and HH-mm-ss, respectively) and a title-case option when you use the Change Case mode. The last one lets you create new filenames using a kind of scripting language that supports constants and functions, including logical connectors such as if, and, not, and or. Lee walks you through the application in detail, from the basics of renaming files through to creating mini-applications (called droplets) before wrapping things up with a bonus tip. The current roster of renaming modes include Find and Replace (which can take advantage of regular expressions) Sequence (attaching numbers or letters in order) Add Prefix or Add Suffix (which can now take advantage of over 150 types of file metadata) Insert (ditto with the metadata) Remove (take out a certain number of characters, starting at a specified position in the current name) Change Case (to lower case, upper case, and so on) and Advanced. There is a tool out there that not only makes the process easy but also gives you lots of flexibility, with granular renaming options: A Better Finder Rename. What hasn’t changed: Name Mangler still lets you select a batch of files and rename them in a variety of ways. Name Mangler is now up to version 3.3, and it’s changed quite a bit. But we haven’t looked at one of our favorites, Name Mangler from Reviewed A Better Finder Rename a little while ago. (A classic example: a bunch of image files with less-than-helpful names such as IMG_0001.jpg, IMG_0002.jpg, IMG_0003.jpg, and so on.) Plenty of Mac utilities exist that’ll help you rename files in batches-for example, we If you deal with lots of files (and who doesn’t?), there are surely times when you have to rename a whole bunch of them at the same time. |
