![]() The move didn’t go down too well with Instapaper’s users, who were given less than 24 hours’ notice about the change: Instapaper temporarily shut off European access to its read-it-later app starting on 24 th May, a day before the GDPR regulation went into effect. If you’re an EU user who’s been stockpiling articles on Instapaper to read at a later date, you might wish that you’d read them there and then. News flash: A source at Tronc says not only have most of the chain's papers blocked EU visitors because of GDPR, but Tronc "currently has no plans to support the EU" because doing so is seen as not economically viable Unfortunately, it seems as though Tronc has no intention of restoring the availability of its publications in the EU – journalist Mathew Ingram tweeted that Tronc currently has no plans to support the EU because doing so is seen as not economically viable. Millions of EU readers follow news developments in the US, which may well involve reading articles from newspapers like the New York Daily News. (The Los Angeles Times is currently mid-sale to entrepreneur Patrick Soon-Shiong, but for now falls under Tronc’s remit).Īgain, while these might be newspapers aimed primarily at a US readership, news in the digital age is international. and Lee Enterprises, which between them own some 77 American news titles, plus a handful of assorted magazines and websites. Specifically, the two media groups whose newspapers are blocking EU traffic are Tronc, Inc. ![]() The news spread quickly on Twitter in the wake of GDPR taking effect that the Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, Orlando Sentinel and a number of other US news sites were blocking traffic from the EU and EEA (European Economic Area) due to GDPR. The Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, Orlando Sentinel and a number of other U.S. There’s no word as of yet on which specific parts of the regulation the ANA is having trouble with, or when it will make its website accessible to EU traffic again. While the ANA is not an international body, it positioned itself as a go-to source of advice and best practice on GDPR for US marketers in the run-up to the legislation taking effect – only to itself fall victim to the regulation. To say this is ironic would be an understatement. The ANA’s new “EU-only” homepage states that “Due to requirements placed upon the ANA as a result of the EU’s Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are not permitting internet traffic to our website from countries within the European Union at this time.” The Association for National Advertisers (ANA)īad news for any EU users who wanted to visit the Association of National Advertisers website and read their insights into GDPR: the ANA is blocking all traffic from the European Union as of the 25 th May. ![]() Let’s take a look at the businesses which are known to have pulled the plug on the EU in the wake of GDPR, and consider whether blocking EU users – whether temporarily or permanently – will be enough to get companies around the regulation. We plan to bring the service back online as soon as possible, and will keep our users informed of any updates.Even given the two-year period that companies have had to prepare themselves for the GDPR, it was inevitable that some would be caught on the back foot when the regulation officially came into force.įacing the prospect of a fine of up to €20 million or 4% of annual turnover for non-compliance, several businesses decided that the best course of action was to deny EU users access to their service – or else to provide them with a drastically reduced user experience. ![]() When reached for comment, a Pinterest spokesperson said, "Instapaper is temporarily unavailable for users in Europe as we make some changes for GDPR. ![]() He is, he tweeted, "actively working on resolving it." While it's still unclear what specifically Instapaper feels is out of compliance, Brian Donohue, an engineering manager from parent company Pinterest, pointed his Twitter followers to Instapaper's privacy policy, which he said hasn't been changed in years. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we intend to restore access as soon as possible." The email, shared on Twitter by and noted by TechCrunch, said: "Starting tomorrow May 24, 2018, access to the Instapaper service will be temporarily unavailable for residents in Europe as we continue to make changes in light of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which goes into effect May 25, 2018. Instapaper, however, is taking different approach, notifying its customers in the UK that its service would be temporarily unavailable for European residents. Every company that does business in the EU is sending out notifications of their compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules that reach their final compliance date March 25th. ![]() ![]() ![]() The problem is, when i have a weapon with 0 durability(my +2 shortbow), i don't know how i would find it in cheat engine. I figured out how to repair a different weapon (drake sword) by scanning for the current durability and then using the swords special attack and then scanning for the current durability and then changing the address' value in the list. I made sure the bow was the only weapon i had equipped.Įdit: for anyone who knows this stuff better than i, the weapon i am trying to repair is a +2 shortbow. ![]() tried changing it anyway and then re equipping the bow to see if the stats updated but it made no difference.

I went to Helpers -> Active weapon data -> left hand -> structure -> durability max/durability and they were both at the weapons max value.

![]() ( How some foods can help to boost immunity?) According to a 2017 study, the risk of ear infections might be reduced by increasing serum levels of vitamin D through food consumption, supplementation, and direct sunlight. And a healthier immune system is less likely to be susceptible to ear infections. Vitamin D may seem unrelated to ear infections, but it is known to boost immunity. Mullein is available at most health food stores as a stand-alone tincture or as an ingredient in herbal ear drops. Oil made from the flowers of the mullein plant is an effective pain reliever for ear infections. Another important point is to make sure the olive oil is no warmer than your body temperature so as to avoid burning the eardrum. However, according to the American Association of Pediatrics, putting a few warm drops of olive oil in the ear is safe and could be moderately effective.įor young children, it is advisable to consult a doctor before giving oil. Though there is no solid scientific evidence to prove that drops of olive oil in your ear canal can soothe ear pain.

But there are new places to discover as well, such as Iris and Climb. Dust II, Nuke, Train, Cache: you may already know them all by heart. The staple maps of Counter-Strike are still here. If the game only featured competitive matchmaking and custom lobbies at first, there are more ways to enjoy the game now. The main differences are the types of matches you can join. In 2022, CSGO may be all shiny and new, but the core gameplay remains the same. Terrorists try to plant a bomb, and counter-terrorists need to either kill them all or defuse the bomb before it explodes. The Counter-Strike formula hasn’t changed much since the first version of the game released in 1999. You can check live matches in the game, have statistics about your past performance, and set up your favorite weapons fairly easily. Overall, playing CSGO in 2022 gives you more information about everything. If you pay a monthly fee, you can get more information about your Competitive and Wingman matches.

Walpole’s novel inspired a number of writers who introduced the same mechanism of ‘terror’ in their writings and earned great popularity. This first Gothic novel skillfully combined the elements of Romanticism with horror and the supernatural. The origin of Gothic novels is ascribed to Horace Walpole who wrote the first Gothic novel “ The Castle of Otranto” in 1764. The Gothic novelists, under the spell of medievalism, wrote novels of terror, suspense, and psychological thrill. For instance, even though man’s progress seemed to make him increasingly powerful, history continued to haunt him. The works of Gothic fiction also intertwined the past and the present. This unique pairing helped create a sense of eeriness and estrangement that Gothic fiction is specifically known for. It placed great emphasis on intense emotion and blending old with new, terror with pleasure, and death with romance. Gothicism actually emerged in 18th century Europe as the sub-genre of the Romantic movement. The dark atmosphere, haunted houses full of passage ways, shadowy corridors, hidden rooms and underground tunnels, the windswept moors, and the gloomy and uncertain landscapes or architecture that create an atmosphere of suspense and mystery-all are the characteristic elements of Gothicism in literature. It encompasses novels and stories having Gothic elements such as horror, mystery, adventure, psychological torment and supernatural phenomenon. Gothic literature (also ‘Gothic fiction’ or ‘Gothic horror’) is one of the oldest and widely studied literary genres. But before heading to the topic, let me first tell you briefly about “ Gothic fiction.” What is Gothic fiction? Also, I highly recommend all these classic tales of terror and mystery. ![]() I have dedicated this blogpost to share with you some of my favorite classic Gothic novels of all the time. ![]() I am a die-hard fan of Gothic literature and all the tales of horror and mystery extremely fascinate me. Boo!!! Such spooky elements of Gothic novels really intrigue me. The creepy footsteps, the howling of wolves, and the weird noises… A horrible shriek of a damsel in distress… Knock! Knock!… the constant knock at the door in the dead of night… Suddenly the light went out…The uncanny movement of the curtain due to the wind or something more-especially the unknown…The horrible creaking at night and the flickering of candles. ![]() ![]() It’s clear from the number of reports that this is affecting a number of machines. They directly programmed EFI with special tool, and it works now. I went to official local service and they said that “it’s just too old…” So I get to unofficial service but with normal guys, and they tested all the hardware and it works great, but didn’t wake up with this motherboard. The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) was designed by Intel to replace the Open Firmware used on PowerPC Macs. Some of those reporting the issue are on a beta, while others are on the official release.Ī number of posts point to corruption of the EFI firmware as the likely cause. Everything points to be a BIOS-EFI firmware corruption by the Catalina installer. No keys are recognized by the device and 5 minutes after turning it on the flashing question mark folder. It happened to my 2014 MacBook Air and I have two other friends with MacBook Pro 2015 that have the same issue. ![]() I can’t imagine that, after all, the iMac has been running smoothly since 2014. After the Genius, like me, had done all the shortcuts, he said it might be the logic board. This is a serious problem that Apple need to address. ![]() No combination of boot up keystrokes work. I am now left with a laptop that flashes the “?folder” icon after a couple of minutes. I followed the update instructions from “Settings - software update” as one would normally do. My computer was perfectly fine until I attempted to install Catalina. He said it was a hardware problem not caused by the update. I had a call with Apple support last night. It seems the update must have corrupted the firmware on the logic board since it no longer recognizes key combos. ![]() All I get is the “folder?” logo or nothing at all if I try “option” or “command R” on boot up. There are multiple threads on Apple’s support forums (below), with most reports appearing similar in nature. There are forum reports of the update to macOS Catalina resulting in some Macs becoming non-responsive, with some indication that an update to the EFI firmware may be responsible… ![]() ![]() ![]() STEP 2: Perform video color correction, first alter the basic settings, then the creative and the Curve. STEP 1: Open Premiere Pro, load any video into it and go to the Color tab / Lumetri Color. In this case, I suggest you creating LUTs on your own. ![]() Sometimes the LUTs you find on the web don’t satisfy your needs and vision of how the videos should look. Read more about how to get Adobe Premiere Pro for free. ![]() In such a way you can load only one LUT at a time, and when you load another LUT, the previous one disappears. Here you can adjust the white balance, tone, highlights/shadows and more, if necessary. STEP 3: Find the necessary LUT on the computer and open it. STEP 2: You will see the “Input LUT” button with the clickable word “None” next to it. STEP 1: Open Premiere Pro, click on the Color tab / Lumetri Color / Basic Correction. If you need to apply LUTs once, then you can skip the installation process and use them directly. STEP 2: Restart Premiere Pro (if it was opened), open the Color panel, Lumetri Color, Creative tab and find your Adobe Premiere LUTs in the drop-down list. By default, it is C: \ Program Files \ Adobe \ Adobe Premiere Pro CC \ Lumetri \ LUTs \ Creative STEP 1: To install LUT, you need to move files from LUTs to the Premiere Pro folder. Now, LUTS should be available in the pop-up list on the Creative tab of the Lumetri interface. You need to copy separate files, not a folder. STEP 2: Find there the “Creative” folder and open it. Go to Library / Application Support / Adobe / Common / LUT There are several ways of how to install LUTs in Premiere Pro, but I found the following method the easiest one. ![]() ![]() ![]() Taking photos handheld with too slow of a shutter will blur your pictures, the slower the worse it will be. So it makes sense to try to have the ISO as low as possible always, and also, to have a camera capable of producing good images up to 3200 ISO at least, while always trying to set the lowest possible value, in evaluation to b) and c):ī) Shutter speed, or how long will your sensor be exposed to the light you chose to get through. The more you amplify though, the more “noise” or grain you will add to your picture, much like amplifying audio, btw. The sensor in digital cameras can amplify the incoming light for processing. Focus is nothing more or less, than a “wall” or pane that you manually push along the Z-axis back and forth via the focus ring.Ī) ISO, or ASA, or sensitivity of the sensor. Where to point your glass as in, what to get into the frame, how close you stand (or zoom), and where you guide the eye in the Z-axis by using focus. Then of course you have the three dimensions in which you build your shot: The physics are easy – we have shutter speed, aperture (or F-stop), and ISO or sensitivity. (and I keep reminding myself that sometimes having ANY shot can be better than none at all, so everything comes with a grain of salt, always):Ĭapturing light has a technical and an artistic side, which play closely together. ![]() So if I would break it down, maybe also for a future blog of mine for my website, I’d probably put it like this Maybe you get something out of this, too: I recently put these words in context for a friend, who was looking for a quick comprehensive guide on how (and why) to manually prepare his camera. ![]() |
