![]() They probably have 75-80% items in common, but that other 20-25% might only be in one or two of the stores. Locally we have 3 Lowe's that are within about 30 miles of each other, and some of their employees refer to them as A,B and C stores. It may actually be individual stores being reset with keeping what sells and removing what doesn't. I've been interested in the pivoting reciprocating saw, especially since missing my chance to get the old 18v or 12v Porter Cable version. There is still a niche market for 12v Max tools, especially if DeWalt does revamp the line. As we've recently learned, Lowe's will need all the space it can make for Craftsman next year. With so much focus being placed on smaller and more lightweight 18v tools, I can see the two major b&m retailers (HD and Lowe's) clearing out lesser selling lines like DeWalt 12v Max in favor of more shelf space. Not too heavy, just the right amount of power, etc. ![]() ![]() A DirecTV installer had a drill which he used to install my dish, and he told me it was perfect for that line of work. I first noticed the 12v Max tools a few years before starting my DeWalt infatuation. While the Bosch PS31 I picked up a few days ago is nice, I prefer the smaller grip offered by slide-on pack designs. At that price or lower, I may pick one up to keep in the truck. That said, I noticed the 12v combo at Lowe's for $129 earlier. Weight and height differences don't matter that much to me. They are actually a bit longer, and coupled with my lower Ah batteries and the tools brushed designs, run time probably pales in comparison to what I already own in 20v Max. Or maybe they made a spontaneous decision.Īs I posted, the 12v Max drill and impact just don't offer much over my 20v Max tools. DeWalt likely would not have spent the time and effort developing and marketing lasers and other 12v Max items in the past year or two if they were honestly looking at getting rid of them. I'll see if I can't get some new info.Ī rational voice on an internet forum? Say it ain't so! Just kidding, but it is funny how quickly we (myself included) take a random posting on the internet (by a new user, at that!) as gospel truth. There was a huge interest in revamping the line. And Lowe's no longer has department managers so it's usually a cluster of things not getting done right.Īt the DeWalt media event I spoke with managers about 12v. Maybe they won't keep them in store, doubtful. Lowe's is however revamping their power tool displays. Especially if it's this kind of news before. Whoever you spoke with would likely not be in the know anyway.

![]() But even that honor-based philosophy can be circumvented if you have the will to do so, and that becomes the central mystery of this tale. The film is directed by J Nakajima and written by Dai Sato and Tsukasa Kondo. Genre: Sci-fi, Anime Original Language: Japanese Director: Takeru Nakajima. Altered Carbon: Resleeved (Japanese: ) is a 2020 Japanese anime film that is a spin-off of Netflixs Altered Carbon television series. But in the many worlds of Altered Carbon, few deaths are certain.Ĭomplicating Kovacs' mission is young Holly, a tattoo artist for the Mizumoto clan with a special connection to the yakuza boss and the central philosophy of their clan: When a new successor is chosen, the tattoo artist copies the boss' tattoo onto the newcomer and simultaneously activates a program in the old boss that will sacrifice them, granting "real death" to prevent any one man from ruling forever. Movie Info Takeshi Kovacs protects a tattooist while investigating the death of a yakuza boss on the planet Latimer. He's powerful enough to erase Kovacs' record on Harlan's World, a nod back to the flashbacks in Season 2 of the live-action series, though this side mission takes place a year after the supposed death of Kovacs' sister and Quellcrist Falconer. He's brought back on the planet Latimer in order to assist a yakuza boss-Hideki Tanaseda-into investigating the murder of his brother at the hands of the rival Mizumoto clan. This could have had a knock-on effect on Season 2, with many opting not to watch the complicated, mind-bending show because they never finished Season 1.As usual, Takeshi Kovacs is back in a new sleeve, one with military training and heightened reflexes, but a powerful nicotine addiction (which never really comes into play except when it's introduced and in the final scene, for dramatic effect). However, this number dropped off significantly, with only a reported 1 million of those viewers making it to the end of Season 1. In 2018, TV ratings company Nielsen revealed that according to their calculations, the first season of Altered Carbon was watched by around 2.5 million people in its first week. "Obviously, critical acclaim is important too, but we're really about trying to stretch our investment dollars as far as we can and make good on our investors' money-it's theirs, not ours." Morgan.It stars Joel Kinnaman, Will Yun Lee, Anthony Mackie, Martha Higareda, Kristin Lehman, Dichen Lachman, Chris Conner, Renee Elise Goldsberry, James Purefoy, Simone Missick, Lela Loren and Torben Liebrecht. "If the audience doesn't show up, we think about the reason to continue to invest in something that doesn't do as well as we had hoped. Altered Carbon is a television series produced by Netflix based on the Cyberpunk novel of the same name and its sequels by British writer Richard K. When we're investing, we decide how much to invest based on the audience that will show up. Speaking at a conference in March 2019, Holland said: "It's a combination of things. 'Altered Carbon' starring Anthony Mackie has been canceled by Netflix after two seasons Netflix Previously, Netflix's head of original content Cindy Holland has explained what is known as the streamer's "efficiency matrix," which determines which shows get recommissioned and which get canceled. This meant that the number of viewers and subscribers it had to bring in to be viable for the streamer would have to be high. Numerous reports had it that the show cost an estimated $7 million per episode to make. In the past, Netflix executives have said that they make decisions about whether a series will be renewed or not by balancing how many viewers watch it and how many new subscribers it brings in with how expensive it is to produce.Īltered Carbon is thought to be one of the most expensive shows ever made. While those two seasons were canceled as a result of the difficulties of filming during COVID-19, there are thought to be different reasons behind the cancelation of Altered Carbon, which has been canceled for a more traditional reason. The show, which starred Joel Kinnaman in Season 1 and Anthony Mackie in Season 2, was one of three Netflix shows axed in August, with fellow sci-fi series The Society and I Am Not Okay With This also getting the chop. Altered Carbon has been the latest show to be canceled by the streamer, six months after Season 2 of the cyberpunk body-swapping sci-fi aired on Netflix. ![]() Readers of certain genres have expectations, too. WHAT IS THE AVERAGE WORD COUNT FOR WRITING BOOKS? So word count does matter not only for you, the printers, the publishers, and that poor postman making his deliveries, but to the reader, too. Oh, and then there are the printing and postage costs that are a BIG factor to consider where it’s all carried along to the reader who may choose between a book that’s $4.99 or $29.99. If it takes up too much spine space they can’t get as many books to fit within that crucial selling space.Įven if you are self-publishing word counts matter as you’ll be charged by the word amount when it comes to editing. When a book is too big it looks messy on the shelf. Bookshop owners only allocated so much space for certain genres on their specifically created bookshelves. It matters for novels that used to be judged (and not just by their covers either) by how they sat on the bookshelf. ![]() Don’t go yet as there are a few surprising reasons why the word count matters in books. So grab your snorkel and some flippers and let’s do a deep dive – we promise you’ll be back by lunch.īooks are made up of words. We’ll tell you why word counts matter, especially in your book, the word counts for social media, including finding word counts on Word and Google docs, plus tips and tricks to working out your daily word count average to write your book, and more. Does word count matter in writing? What is the point of keeping a daily word count? ![]() Our fundamentally strong economies and well-developed research communities are fertile ground for entrepreneurial success. Sweden is the 13th-largest investor in the United States, an outsized figure relative to Sweden’s population. We have also invested over $90 billion in each other’s economies, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. Today, we trade $25 billion worth of goods and services annually. One of the key elements of the U.S.-Swedish bond is our strong economic relationship. It’s hard to predict what will happen in the life science and other sectors in the years ahead, but one thing I am convinced of is that solutions will be easier to find if countries such as the United States and Sweden work together. They are not running away from this mysterious new threat but running toward solutions. Already, entrepreneurs in the United States and Sweden are deeply involved, alongside scientists and researchers, in learning more about the coronavirus to develop a safe and effective vaccine or treatment. Perhaps it will be a new approach to make online conferences more immersive through virtual reality. Perhaps it will be finding new ways for workplaces to convene meetings that are more efficient than video calls. Regardless of what those changes are, success will come to those who run toward, not away, from the post-Covid-19 environment. We don’t know what the permanent effects of the pandemic will be on our societies or on how we work. That leads to my second key ingredient for success: embracing the unknown. As Albert Einstein once said, “In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.” I believe that, despite the horrific losses we have suffered, and despite the disruptions to our daily lives that we must still endure, there will be men and women able to find new ways of solving our common problems. Yet, while we have been compelled to make changes over the past six months to how we travel, how we work, and even how we live, I am an optimist. The last pandemic to strike the world with such calamitous effect broke out more than a hundred years ago. This is the case even now in the midst of a pandemic that is more powerful than any anyone alive today has ever experienced. Opportunities always exist, no matter how tough the prevailing conditions may be, but it does take a special mindset and determination to be able to see them and take advantage of them. The process of building PayPal taught me that success requires two things: 1) seeing opportunity where others don’t, and 2) madly embracing the unknown. Little did I know that this former broom closet would be the birthplace of my greatest success to date: helping to found and build PayPal with Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Luke Nosek, Yu Pan, and Russel Simmons. It was so small that every time Peter left, I had to scoot my chair as far in as I could so he could get out the door. Our office was in a former broom closet with no windows. After graduating from Stanford, I did not join a large, established firm, but instead worked for a start-up firm making investments with a friend from university, Peter Thiel. And being an entrepreneur often means pursing a non-linear career path. This year has been a challenging one for all of us, not least for those who have tried to break new ground and start new businesses with their ideas and hard work. ![]() En svensk version av denna text publicerades under vinjetten ”Åsikten” i Entré nr 3, 2020: Try to organize a system for defining SKUs that makes sense and can be easily tracked. This can be the SKU provided by the manufacturer of the product. This is a unique identifier for the product. The variations are defined by a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU). It is best to create the product and add at least one variation. Variations are created to address all the different combinations of product attributes. Example: A shirt product could come in different colors and sizes. Save will create the product in the database, while Save and add variations will allow you to add a variation. You will notice that there are two options for saving. Add the Product and give the product a name and describe the product using the body field. If there is only one store, it will be the default. Fill out the form with all relevant information and save it. But before products can be added, a store needs to be created. Products can be added under Commerce > Products. Step 3: Add Products to the Storeĭrupal Commerce makes it easy to manage your products with features like product categories, attributes, and variations.

Other modules will also be required as dependencies. drush install commerce_product commerce_checkout commerce_cart Alternatively, Drush can be used to install the modules.

This can be accomplished by going to the Extend link in the administration menu of the site. composer require “drupal/inline_entity_form composer require “drupal/commerce” -W Version seems to be the one Composer is attempting to install. At this time, there are two versions available for Drupal 10. So we need to call the version required by Drupal Commerce. In this case, the Inline Entity Form module is required and there is no version that matches minimum stability. By requiring the module by version, we are able to install a module that does not match minimum stability. By default, Composer only installs things that match the minimum stability. In this case, the required module does not match minimum stability. The above code could be run to include dependencies: composer require “drupal/commerce” -W First, install any dependencies that Composer would not install. If installing on Drupal 10, you are likely to run into an error when running the above code. In the root directory where the vendor directory resides, use composer to require Drupal Commerce: composer require “drupal/commerce” With Composer, you can install and update libraries required by your project. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP projects. But, the best way to manage Drupal modules is to use Composer.

These basic candybar handsets, despite looking very similar to phones of years ago, have actually moved on a great deal in functionality. Nonetheless, it’s definitely something of a let down. Also, given the price of this phone, it’s to be expected that the screen isn’t setting new standards in quality. This isn’t such a dramatic problem in everyday use, particularly as you’re unlikely to be watching video or browsing the web with much regularity on a screen only 2.2-inches across. The relatively low maximum brightness also makes it difficult to see in bright sunlight. Try and take a photo over your head or from low down and you simply can’t see what’s on-screen, the viewing angles are so bad. The other key problem with the camera is the main problem with this phone its rather poor quality screen. Video is produced at a decent 640 x 480 resolution, but with a framerate of only 15fps it’s of limited use. Results from the camera are adequate for the odd snap, with the LED being surprisingly powerful, but low light conditions without the flash prove rather too much for it, producing grainy and noisy pictures. There’s no dedicated camera button on the left edge, but it’s not much of an inconvenience to reach for the central D-pad button to take a shot. It uses a hinged hard plastic door rather than a flexible push-on flap, which is a neater solution but you’ll have to be very careful when opening it as it will easily snap off.Ī volume rocker sits above this, and a 3.2 megapixel camera with an LED flash can be found on the back. Thankfully you don’t even need to remove this to get to the microSD compartment, which is actually accessed through a slot on the right edge. The battery cover is a nice strong stainless steel slab that pops on and off with reassuring certainty – there’s none of this prying off plastic panels like you get on so many devices. The charger itself is also rather neat as it uses a pop-up earth connector to half the usual height of the plug when in transit. In the box you get the proprietary charger and a USB cable, so both options are open to you. Also on the top edge is Nokia’s proprietary charging socket, which is useful for the fact it charges quicker than over USB. Taking a tour of the phones physical features, we’re pleased to see standard headphone and microUSB sockets, so you’ll be able to use your own cans and borrowing a spare cable to charge your phone shouldn’t be a problem. That said, the owner of the model we reviewed (Geoff Richards, our Publishing Manager) has had his for a couple of months and it has come to no harm. The only immediately obvious let down is the plastic screen that really shows off fingerprints and, if you’re anything like me, will pick up scratches easily. A curved back and rounded edges also make it very comfortable to hold. It’s light, too, at just 89.3g and with dimensions of 112 x 46 x 12.3mm, it’s slim as well. ![]() Dark grey plastic combines with chrome and brushed steel to make for an understated but generally stylish handset. Despite a change of naming scheme, from the four-digit model numbers of old, the C5 still looks and feels very much like a classic Nokia phone. *NOTE: Black and white (grayscale) images show the front of the outside of letter-sized envelopes and mailpieces that are processed through USPS ® automated equipment.

In rare cases, larger types of katydid may pinch or bite if they feel threatened. Although they only make up a small fraction of this diverse family of insects, their spectacular and unexpected appearance makes them unique. Katydids are usually gentle, and many people even keep them as pets. ![]() Dr Sven Bradler, who has been researching the evolution of stick and leaf insects at the University of Göttingen for more than 20 years, explains: "There are around 3,500 known species of stick and leaf insects and there are currently just over 100 described species of leaf insect. This research collaboration has led to the identification of over twenty new species. RF P81GMFPhyllium philippinicum, aka Leaf Insect is an insect in the order of stick insects, phasmida, that looks like a leaf and can be kept as a pet. The researchers from Göttingen University worked with leaf insect expert Royce Cumming, City University New York. This means that the Indian species is particularly important to protect." Other newly discovered species come from Vietnam, Borneo, Java and the Philippines. In fact, a whole distinct species is being wiped out. While the species was first discovered in the 80s, it wasn’t until 1994 that the first male was found in the wild. These are among the largest leaf insects, and fully grown adults can get up to 4.1 inches (10.5 cm). Bugs that have been removed since New Leaf include the house centipede, lantern fly, oak silk moth, and petaltail dragonfly. The Giant Malaysian leaf insect lives mainly in the western parts of Malaysia in tropical regions. ![]() The total number of bugs in New Horizons is 80, 8 more than the number of bugs in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Bank-Aubin emphasises: "The finding is important for species conservation: if all the individuals die out in India, it is not just a group within a species that is reduced, as was previously thought. The following is a list of bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. These species have extremely flattened, irregularly shaped bodies, wings and legs, to look like the particular type of leaves they inhabit. But now the researchers have found out that they are a completely new species of leaf insects. Examples of insects that look like leaves include alderflies, assassin bugs, dead-leaf grasshopper, dead-leaf moths, and false katydid. ![]() Some individual insects from India were previously thought to belong to a species that is widespread in Southeast Asia. Use them in commercial designs under lifetime, perpetual & worldwide rights. We were only able to identify some of the new species by their genetic characteristics," explains the Project Lead, Dr Sarah Bank-Aubin, Göttingen University's Animal Evolution and Biodiversity Department. "Individuals of different species are often counted as belonging to the same species based on their appearance. Flatida rosea, the flower-spike bug or the flatid leaf bug, is a species of planthopper in the family Flatidae. Taxonomy - meaning the naming, description and classification of species - is difficult in the case of leaf insects: individuals of different species can be difficult to tell apart, yet there can be huge variations within a species.
![]() These could include a duck floating by, a fish jumping out of the water or more lotuses in the background! That finishes off the drawing stage of this guide! Before you move on, be sure to add any extra details or background elements you would like. Then, once the outline is done you can add some lines inside of the lilypad for some texture detail. The line will also dip inward on the right-hand side. The lilypad will extend from either side of the lilypad and will be quite curved and rounded. We’ve mentioned the lilypad that this lotus flower is sitting on a lot in this guide, so now we shall actually draw it in this step of our guide on how to draw a lilypad! Then, it’s on to some final touches in the last two steps! Step 7 – Draw the lilypad in this step These ones will be flat against the lilypad as well and will fill in the empty space on the sides. to do this, simply draw two more petals on each side for a total of four in this step. In this part of your lotus flower drawing, you will be able to draw the final petals in. Step 6 – Next, you can finish off the final petals The tips of these ones will be even more curved out than the previous ones were. To do this, simply draw a petal coming off each side of the flower and pointing outward as is shown in the reference image. You’re really getting the hang of drawing petals now! We shall be drawing a few more in this step of our guide on how to draw a lotus flower. Then, once you’ve drawn these two petals you can draw two more small ones between them and the central vertical petal. You can draw two more vertical petals coming off from the central one, and these ones will each be pointing outward. ![]() This step of your lotus flower drawing will have you building on to the central petals of the flower. Step 4 – Next, draw some more vertical petals They will be drawn with some curved lines to form a typical leaf shape, and then they will also have a line inside each one that has a curved point in it. You can draw these ones coming off from the central one and the flat petal from the first step. The petals that you will be drawing in this step of our guide on how to draw a lotus flower will also be flat on the lilypad like the previous one you drew, except these ones will be pointing to the side. Then, inside this curved line draw another line inside of it with a tip in the middle of it to show the petal poking up. This petal will be flat on the lilypad that the lotus flower is sitting on.įirst, draw a curved line underneath the petal from the first step. ![]() We will be adding another petal in this step of your lotus flower drawing. Be sure to leave a very small space right at the bottom of this shape. This means it will have a sharp point at the top with a rounded bottom. This petal will be drawn as a tear shape which is shown in the reference image we provided. To get this guide on how to draw a lotus flower started, we shall begin with the central petal of the flower. How to Draw A Lotus Flower – Let’s Get Started! Step 1 This step-by-step guide on how to draw a lotus flower in 8 steps will show you how you can easily learn to draw this amazing flower.
