Drag race uk season 27/12/2023 ![]() ![]() It was difficult to know it was Ellie Diamond as she was wearing a full Halloween costume. It was nothing to do with drag (she was literally Cat in the Hat from the Mike Myers movie). Nobody had a clue what was happening and I heard audible boos. She performed as Cat in the Hat in a very weird West End-style performance. It was difficult to follow A'whora and Ellie did not. 9/10Įllie - Then, things came tumbling down. Her routines were some of the most complicated and the general production values seemed to be turned up a notch during her 8 minutes or so on stage. A'whora is from the area and was absolutely adored by the audience. She also did a medley dance routine, this time of 90s club classics and had everybody on their feet. 8/10Ī'whora - THE performer of the night. A definitely "what-could-have-been" for Drag Race. She is somebody who I thought had potential on the show and just needed some time to gain confidence. Very feminine, beautiful, confident with complex dance routines. Did a sort of gypsy-inspired dancing medley and looked incredible. 6/10Ĭherry Valentine - One of the best performers of the night. ![]() I (and maybe the audience) however are starting to feel a bit of fatigue. It was very melodramatic and it was clear that thought that had gone into the idea. It was a lip-sync performance and she did try to tell a story of her "murdering" her back-up dancers. He rushed through his performance on auto-pilot and then disappeared. He would occasionally shout something but it was difficult to hear what was being said. The performance seemed very dated and he did a sort of cabaret performance. It was difficult to know what was happening. Joe Black - Then Joe Black came out and everybody went to the toilet. Weirdly, she had one of the most muted receptions from the audience. She gets an extra point for singing live. Veronica Green - Sang "Diamonds Are Forever." It was good (and she was one of the only performers to sing live) but it had a real "Butlins entertainer" vibe. Tia went to university in Nottingham so I would much preferred for her to do some comedy, talk to the audience and get everybody involved. There was very little opportunity for her to show her personality here. It was also fine but dance routines are not what I think of when I think of Tia. Tia Kofi - Eh, then Tia came out (who I really enjoy) and did some dancing. Ginny was not somebody I loved on the show but her experience really shone through here and she was probably the most natural performer of the night and had everybody smiling. She went around stealing crisps from people in the audience. At this point, everybody is clearly having fun and enjoying the fast-paced show. Ginny - Followed by Ginny who tore the house down with some off-beat comedy. It felt a bit like at the circus when you start with some gymnastics to build up to the acrobats. She came out to a loud ovation, danced to a backing track and left. 7/10Īsstina - Then Asstina came out and danced a bit. Laurence had some banter with the audience and introduced the night and it was all good fun. The crowd was very hot before the show began with a clear buzz around the room. Lawrence Chaney - Lawrence started the show with a bit of MC'ing and got the crowd going. Was it like the TV show? Was it a variety show? A talent show? I purposely avoided reading anything about it. Last night I attended the Drag Race UK Season 2 Tour in Nottingham and thought I'd share some of my thoughts on the show, production and experience (along with a few /10 ratings).īefore the show, I had no idea what to expect.

Creator higan bsnes emulators died7/11/2023 ![]() If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-80, which is available 24 hours a day. In remembrance of their contributions to the emulation community, Ars Technica republished a piece from Near that delved into the coding of the BSNES and how SNES emulators were able to get "a few pixels from complete perfection." Back in March, Vice Games published an account of Near's perfectionist quest to localize Bahamut Lagoon, a cult 16-bit RPG that never made it to North America. Their accomplishments include overclocking the virtual SNES processor without any distortion, with spectacular results. They were particularly passionate about game preservation, and dedicated the development of BSNES - later renamed Higan - to being as accurate as possible. Near was famous for their detailed, perfectionist approach to their work. In a series of messages published on Twitter, Near talked about the online attacks and doxing that they and their friends suffered from Kiwi Farms, saying, "The internet is not a game. ![]() If you ever played bsnes/higan/Snes9x, or potentially countless other emulators, he had a hand in their success.- belthesar June 27, 2021 Yesterday we lost Byuu / Near, a legend in the video game archival and emulation scene.

Many expressed anger at the online bullying that ultimately pushed Near to take their life, their outrage centered on Kiwi Farms, a forum with a reputation for vicious targeted online harassment. Community members took to social media to express their sadness following the tragedy, praising Near's work and talking about the positive impact they had on their life. Microsoft office 365 2019 edition7/11/2023 ![]() Tip: If you have 64-bit operating system with an 圆4-based processor, you can choose to install 32-bit or 64-bit Microsoft 365. Check your Windows version.Ħ4-bit Windows 10 with ARM-based processorģ2-bit operating system with an x86 (32-bit) processor The following computer systems can only install 32-bit Microsoft 365. For more information, see Using the Large Number data type. ![]() 64-bit VBA provides the LongLong data type which fully supports large numbers. You’re working with the Large Number data type in Access, and while this data type is supported by 32-bit Access, you may see unexpected results when executing code or expressions that use native 32-bit VBA libraries. In-house Microsoft 365 solution developers should have access to the 64-bit Office 2016 for testing and updating these solutions. Using the 64-bit version of Microsoft 365 lets you deliver a 64-bit version of those solutions as well as a 32-bit version. You’re developing in-house Microsoft 365 solutions like add-ins or document-level customization. You’re working with files over 2 GB in Project, especially if the project has many sub-projects. The 64-bit version of Microsoft 365 may be better suited to handle these complex slide decks. You’re working with extremely large pictures, videos, or animations in PowerPoint. With 32-bit apps, you might get as little as 2 GB of virtual address space which in many cases isn't enough and can cause the app to stop responding or crash. With 64-bit apps, you have up to 128 TB of virtual address space which the app and any add-ins running the same process can share. While 32-bit applications can work with add-ins, they can use up a system's available virtual address space. You're using add-ins with Outlook, Excel, or other Office apps. See Excel specifications and limits, Data Model specification and limits, and Memory usage in the 32-bit edition of Excel. The 64-bit version of Microsoft 365 may perform better in these cases. You’re working with large data sets, like enterprise-scale Excel workbooks with complex calculations, many pivot tables, data connections to external databases, Power Pivot, 3D Map, Power View, or Get & Transform. Therefore, if your scenarios include large files and/or working with large data sets and your computer is running 64-bit version of Windows, 64-bit is the right choice when: Also, 64-bit applications can access more memory than 32-bit applications (up to 18.4 million Petabytes). Reasons to choose the 64-bit versionĬomputers running 64-bit versions of Windows generally have more resources such as processing power and memory, than their 32-bit predecessors. If you're still not sure which version, 32-bit or 64-bit is a better choice for you, see the section below. See “Office (64-bit or 32-bit) couldn’t be installed” error. The same is true if you installed the 32-bit version, but want to install the 64-bit version. Important: If you install the 64-bit version, but want the 32-bit version instead, you must first uninstall the 64-bit version before installing the 32-bit version. Flat stanley travel journal7/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This project creates a sense of freedom of choice (the students focus on writing about things they like doing themselves and a sense of reality (the students actually have the opportunity to mail the letters and the paper dolls). The experiences he went through left their mark and were thoroughly recorded by the children who help him with the transformation. This is what teachers call an "authentic" literacy project, in that kids are inspired to write of their own passion and excitement about the project, and given the freedom to write about many things through the rubric of the Flat Stanley character.įlat Stanley goes through a steady and amazing transformation from a plain paper doll to a fully-dressed makeover of a genuine Romanian proudly wearing its traditional costume. Writing and learning becomes easier, flows naturally, and tends to be more creative. The sender and the recipient already have a mutual friend, Flat Stanley. Although similar to a pen-pal activity, Flat Stanley is actually much more enriching-students don't have to wonder where to begin or what to write about. The basic principle of The Flat Stanley Project is to connect your child, student or classroom with other children or classrooms participating in the Project by sending out "flat" visitors, created by the children, through the mail (or digitally, with The Flat Stanley app. Amusing stories written by students come to life around the flat figure, instilling life and personality into him. The dressing will be accompanied by a letter telling what Flat Stanley saw or did in that place, what the climate was like and some interesting things about the place. The person who receives it will ‘dress’ him up in clothes that reflect the local climate and/or activities people do there. The plain paper-doll cuts will “visit” different places. There are advantages that come with being flat: he can slide under doors, go inside sidewalk grates, and even fold himself up to fit into an envelope and me mailed for an exciting holiday. The story centers around a boy named Stanley who is accidentally squished “as flat as a pancake” when a bulletin board falls on him. The Project encompasses more than 6000 schools registered in 88 countries around the globe, and is included in the curriculum for more than 15% of elementary schools in the US. Today, the Flat Stanley Project is a uniquely multi-generational, global literacy activity that engages hundreds of thousands of children on a daily basis. Hubert invited other teachers to take part by "hosting" Flat Stanley visitors in their classrooms as they arrived in the mail, and encouraging students to keep their own Flat Stanley journals. Hubert had the brilliant idea of having children create their own Flat Stanley paper cutouts and mailing them to friends and family around the globe, in order to foster authentic literacy activities and make children write about Stanley's adventures. In 1994, Dale Hubert initiated the Flat Stanley Project in Ontario, Canada starting from Jeff Brown’s book Flat Stanley. ![]() The activities involved in letter and travel journal writing create a sense of belonging, of caring about the pen pal’s feelings, of bonding with the others. Writing letters and travel journals becomes an interesting task for the students due to the entire process of writing about things that are of interest to our students while taking photos and drawing pictures to make the letters more vivid. Flat Stanley becomes the messenger between two different cultures bridging the cultural gap. The Flat Stanley Project is an excellent example of what teachers can do to trigger young minds to think and write creatively. In project work students work as a team and the outcome of their work is a concrete product such as a travel journal, report, or diary. Project work involves multi-skill activities focusing on a topic of interest. Good language skills are required and the content of the project itself is of utmost importance. It brings not only personal involvement on the students’ part, but also decision-making on how they will do it. Project work exposes students to authentic language and authentic tasks, becoming learner-centered. Interest in project work and its integration into the teaching foreign language process have been increasingly growing among students and teachers alike. Contacting schools in other countries prompts writing and exchanging letters to pen pals, which gives an insight into children’ s lives, encouraging excellent social skills. The activities triggered by this project have led to bridging distant cultural gaps with students oversea. Teachers and students who have embarked upon it are competent, enthusiastic, and committed to exploring new techniques of broadening their English book horizons creating a more communicative learning environment.

Vba week number7/11/2023 ![]() ![]() The input box appears and asks me which number I'd like to add.So here, if I select all of these cells and I'd like to add a hundred to them, I click this button.There's no cell where you have to go and type a number and then clear it out laterĪnd the other macro asks you what number you'd like to add, so it's a little more flexible.So if I select these cells and click Add 7, it does it very quickly.So you've automatically moved everything to next week.Click Add 7, and it just adds seven to every date.So if I select all of these days right now, it's from the first to the 7th of July.In this example, I've got a button that runs a macro, which adds a set number to the selected cellsĪnd in the sample file, I've got it set up so it will add 7. If this is something you do frequently, it might be easier to do with macro. Once I've finished, I can go back and just clear that cell - just select and press the Delete key. Now, click this arrow below the Paste button and go to Paste Special.Then I'll select all the cells where I want to add that number.So in a blank cell, I'll type the number 10 and press enter, and then I'll copy that cell.So I've got these cells and I'd like to add 10 to everything on this worksheet. So first the manual option is Paste Special. And I'll show you a couple of macros that you can download from my website that will let you click a button and automatically add a number to selected range of cells. We're going to look at how you can do that manually. For example, you might have a group of numbers and you want to add a hundred to everything or a group of dates, and you want to add a week so that you're moving everything to next week. In Excel, you might have a group of numbers or dates that you want to add a set amount to. Tip: For details on changing the macro code, watch the video in the next section, starting at the 2:44 mark Macro 2 prompts you to enter a number, then adds that amount to selected cells.Macro 1 adds a specific number to selected cells.There's also a quick demo of the macros from my sample file: In this video, you'll see how to add amounts manually, with the Paste Special command. For example, select a group of date cells, and increase by 1 week, by adding 7 to each cell. Quickly add the same amount to values in multiple cells, manually or with a macro. Then, to clean up the worksheet, clear the cell where you typed the 10 On the worksheet, all numbers in the selected cells have increased by 10 ![]() Below that, in the Operation section, click the Add option.If the copied cell has any formatting, or comments, etc., those would be pasted too.In the screen shot below, the All option is selected.In the Paste section, at the top left, select All or Values.In the Paste Special dialog box, follow these steps: At the bottom of the paste options, click Paste Special.At the left end of the tab, in the Clipboard group, click the arrow below the Paste button, to see all of the paste options.Next, use Ribbon commands or keyboard shortcut to open the Paste Special dialog box:.Next, select cells where you want to add that amount - cells A2:B6.Select that cell, and copy it - use keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C.In an empty cell on the worksheet, type the number 10 - that's the amount we want to add to each cell.To increase the amounts by 10, follow these steps All of the scores need to be increased by 10. In this example, there are test scores in the worksheet cells A2:B6. There is a simple example shown below, and you can see other ways to change cell values with on the Paste Special command page -add, subtract, multiply, and divide. To increase the amounts in a range of cells - adding the same amount to each cell - you can use see the steps below. Next, in another copy of the price list, the amounts are increased by 5%, instead of a specific amount. It shows a different example of adding numbers to cell values, using Paste Special.įirst, the items in a price list are all increased by $1.50. To see the the steps for adding numbers with the Paste Special command, WARNING: This is an efficient way to update numbers quickly, but be careful! Before you use this technique, I recommend that you make a backup copy of your workbook, in case you need to see the original values later. The original values are replaced by the new values.This technique changes the values in the selected cells.With the technique shown below, you will add a number to the values in one cell, or cell ranges, without using formulas or cell references. Later, if any of those worksheet numbers change, the totals update automatically. Most of the time that you create a sum in Excel, you use a SUM formula, or the SUBTOTAL function, to total a a column of numbers, or a row of numbers. The very organized thief online7/11/2023 ![]() It is a wise practice not to use the phone number provided in the e-mail or in the telephone message you receive. As part of the verification process, your bank will never ask you for your Social Insurance Number. You will not, however, be asked to verbally provide any PIN or banking password or enter your PIN or password on your telephone keypad. As part of a legitimate conversation with your bank, you may be asked verification questions so the bank can ensure that they are speaking to the right person. In some cases, your bank may contact you by phone or leave you a voicemail message if they suspect fraudulent activity. If you do receive such an e-mail, do not respond and delete it. If a bank suspects fraudulent activity on your debit or credit card or account, they will never contact you by e-mail. Vishers don’t typically know who you are and don’t usually use your name. If you are dealing with a legitimate company, they know who they are contacting and will address you by name in an e-mail or telephone call. We all get e-mails and telephone calls from legitimate companies and organizations that we do business with, but here are some things you should keep in mind as you try to figure out if you’re being contacted by the legitimate company or by a visher. So, why do they do it? Usually it is to commit some sort of financial fraud. With Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other internet-based telephone technology, criminals can now make calls inexpensively and can mask their identity and their location and even make it look like they are calling from a legitimate company on your call display. Security experts have seen another variation of vishing where the criminals will leave a voicemail message or make telephone calls directing people to the bogus phone number. After you do that you may be disconnected without speaking to anyone, but the criminals will have your information. The e-mail may warn of a security alert and ask you to call a local or toll-free number where an automated attendant will ask you to punch in personal information, such as your credit card number, social insurance number or online banking password. ![]() Vishers will send out an e-mail to thousands of people which looks like it is from a reputable organization, such as a credit card company, online retailer, bank or government agency. Vishing stands for "voice phishing" and is a twist on the phishing e-mails that you may have received, but now the criminals are using the phone as well to trick consumers into revealing personal information. Vishing (Source: Canadian Bankers Association) What is Vishing? ![]() ![]() See: “How to protect yourself from title fraud”. The Canadian Bankers Association has some good tips for preventing real estate fraud. See: Peter Bowal “Identity Theft: Mortgage Mayhem” at page 5. This fraud is estimated to be a $1.5 billion industry in Canada. This results in a dispute for compensation between the innocent landowner and the lenders who relied on the officially registered documentation. The imposters abscond with the money and the mortgages immediately slide into default. He/she then sells the land to another rogue or uses the property to obtain money through lines of credit or mortgages from unsuspecting lenders. Land/ mortgage schemes:Ī fraudster impersonates the true property owner forges the owner’s signature in sale documentation filed at the land registry offices and deceitfully obtains ownership on paper. More information about these techniques can be found in the referenced CIPPIC’s paper.Ī few of the methods of identity theft are described below: 1. Social engineering: examples of this are pre-texting, contests and surveys, obtaining credit reports, bogus employment schemes. Technology-Based: examples of this are phishing, pharming, DNS Cache Poisoning, wardriving, spyware, malware and viruses. Physical Theft: examples of this would be dumpster diving, mail theft, skimming, change of address, reshipping, government records, identity consolidation. See: CIPPIC “Techniques of Identity Theft”. These methods were broken down into three categories in one of the working papers of the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC). See: RCMP “Personal Information and Scams protection”. Criminals use several methods in committing identity theft. Boring class bingo7/11/2023 Even untucked my shirt didn’t come close to covering it. Ordinarily that might be a slight discomfort that I could endure but, I was wearing light brown slacks, and the “Watermark” was in an obvious, non-strategic area and was very visible. I caught it, but not before it bounced off the pew seat and a substantial amount of liquid beverage landed in my lap. ![]() That didn’t turn out so well last week while warming up with the choir prior to the service when my cup slipped out of my hand. ![]() “Aha!” Said I, and now take my coffee in with me disguised in a water traveling mug ever since. My fellow choir partner responded that it was coffee in their cup. (Too’s galore I guess)Ĭafé’ a-Lappe’: Having observed fellow church choir members sipping on occasion from what was presumed to be a water travel mug, I commented to one of them that I wish I could bring my coffee cup in with me so as to be able to partake of that beverage over the nearly two hour’s from start of Choir practice leading into and through the Sunday sermon. Over the last two weeks I have noticed a significant, new, “Paint scraping rub-off” and, a new paint chipping ding in my car door. This too, also happens with too much frequency. The second, and this one explained to me by a past perpetrator, results from someone with a new vehicle that is trying to prevent their adjacent “parking neighbor” from getting too close, and who might open their door too carelessly. First, and most common, is that of the driver in a hurry, or too lazy to back up and pull straight in, resulting in tying up two parking spots by overlapping into the adjacent spot. This inconsideration occurs, I think, based on two sets of circumstances. Your vision is momentarily impaired and if a pedestrian or object is on or near the edge of the road, as often, all too often, is the case, then catastrophe is only a nanosecond away.Ĭockeyed Parking: As long as I am on a driving related rant I might as well throw in my peeve about people, most likely in a rush, that park diagonally in a perpendicularly lined parking spot. Their brightness and intensity can momentarily affect your vision. Vehicles coming at you with those high intensity LED headlights are irritating if not downright dangerous. LED Lights: LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are terrific. Then, of course, that becomes the vehicle by which scam calls attempt to worm their way into my life. Therefore, I use that number when I have to give out a phone number. Since my Cell phone isn’t a major part of my life it isn’t on me or near me for large parts of the day. If you order any amount of anything online, you often can’t avoid giving out a phone number. I’m already headed to the phone as it’s in the other room, only to discover that it was a blocked call.
