![]() How can the students who have the talent, but not the opportunity come to Middlebury and thrive here? Issues around the racial reckoning in the United States, the question of what it means to use our freedom of inquiry well, access is a deep public concern. I frequently talk about the fact that higher education is at the crossroads and in the crosshairs of American public life. What we deliver to students, the nature of the pedagogy, the nature of the experiences we provide, how we prepare them to tackle the challenges of the futures, that’s just gotta be continually changing, evolving. One of the things we want to do at Middlebury is create students in the world who are work-ready and world-ready It doesn’t mean that you give up a liberal arts and sciences education, but rather you use it well, you have the breadth of imagination to understand what the changes are that are needed in the world. The ambitions of the place are broader, the aperture through which we look at the world is wider. This is just a broader place than when I was here. And it’s one of the great gifts of a liberal arts and sciences education. Curiosity is the thing that keeps us going, in my view. The kind of curiosity that you will develop here at Middlebury is something you have for the rest of your life. I was given the tools to actually think about how can I apply everything that I’ve learned into solving problems of the world. I also held a research position with the Spanish Department, the Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion trying to figure out ways to really advance and uplift that work here on campus. I have been a research assistant for the economics department doing some work on NASA. You will not be afraid of history, and you will not be afraid of thinking about the future. And you will also have the confidence to take the long view. I think an expansive education is one that teaches you skills, and at the same time gives you a deeper capacity for exploration that you never lose. Given the global challenges we face, inspiring a new generation of students to be able to go out and tackle those challenges requires to produce a certain breadth of experience, a breadth of learning that Middlebury can supply. We live in a world that is definitionally more interrelated than it’s ever been. It’s allowed me to really think about politics, which was my passion coming into Middlebury, in a global perspective. Middlebury is giving us a macro perspective of the world and the tools to understand everything that’s happening at every given moment. And I wanted a program that was globally focused. I wanted a community that was tight-knit and small. I study international politics and economics with a minor in education studies. I am Roni Lezama, I am from New York City. That wish to connect is, in my view, very much a a unique part of Middlebury’s spirit. Each node of that network can be enhanced by deeper connection to each other. We are making sure that our undergraduate education is something that prepares students for the world, as well as gives them the kind of classical interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences education. We do graduate education, not in competition with undergraduate education, but we work in tandem with it. So that sense of place maintains a deep significance. And then of course, we’ve got the Middlebury Institute in Monterey, which is a whole new domain for the school. We have done a lot of work to upgrade and enhance Bread Loaf. We have a growing network of Schools Abroad. The literary force of the Bread Loaf School of English, the powerful linguistic institution of our language schools. This global policy incubator that is the Middlebury Institute at Monterey. But then we have this constellation of institutions and programs all around us. You have of course, the College, the jewel at the center. Middlebury offers the intimacy and connectivity of a small liberal arts college, while having the reach, network, and resources of something like a much larger university. Do we call ourselves a college? Of course we do. A question about what do we call ourselves. There is a combination of things at Middlebury, we share with maybe one or two other institutions in the United States.

Now the Raspberry Pi installation is ready for NOOBS. Once that's done, you can slide the SD card directly into the Raspberry Pi and turn it on. This takes a little while, because there are almost 1.8 gigabytes of data. You just have to drag and drop the files to the SD card or copy them with Ctrl+C (PC) or CMD+C (Mac). Then go to the unzipped folder with all the files. There is only one ZIP file for NOOBS, which you download from the Raspberry Pi website. To install NOOBS on the SD card, you actually don't need to do much at all. ![]() However, NOOBS is not installed on the SD card with Etcher. The Raspberry Pi setup of the operating system is basically already finished.Īfter explaining in the previous section how to use Etcher to write the Raspberry Pi operating systems to an SD card, I would now like to explain how to setup NOOBS on the Raspberry Pi.Īs mentioned before, NOOBS is an installer that allows you to install multiple Raspberry Pi operating systems very easily. Now the Raspberry Pi can already be connected to power and started. After that the Raspberry Pi image will be written to the SD card.Īs soon as the writing process in Etcher is finished, it takes a little moment, then the SD card is ready and can be inserted into the Raspberry Pi. So, after starting Etcher, we select the downloaded Raspberry Pi image in the first step via the "Select Image" button.Īfter that, you select the location and click like on the button "Flash!". The interface of Etcher is very simple and it consists of only one window. For this article I use the image 'Raspberry Pi OS with desktop and recommended software' and install it on my SD card. There you simply choose a Raspberry Pi image. To work with Etcher, you need a Raspberry Pi image from the Raspberry Pi download page (/downloads/). But I will show you that separately further down in the article. NOOBS must be installed in a different way. Nonetheless, if some is not working then go for the pre-release versionof the software available on the same GitHub page from where you have downloaded the latest stable version.Important to know is, Etcher only works with the Raspberry Pi operating system or with other operating systems, but not with NOOBS. However, if you followed the way we have shown in this article, then you will not have any errors.
![]() While the changes are minuscule, they were enough to allow people to use Courier New over the more old-fashioned Courier style. People tend to use Courier New more today because it’s a bit more convenient. looks slightly bigger, making it easier to read). Courier New is just slightly more pronounced (i.e. To be fair, there aren’t many noticeable differences between Courier and Courier New. It might not be as true as Courier to how typewriters looked, but it’s a more modern take on how it might look if they were still around today. The “New” comes from the idea that it’s an upgraded version of Courier. ![]() Courier NewĬourier New is an extension of Courier. There seems to be a Lucida font for just about everything. It’s part of the larger Lucida family, which happens to be quite a popular font in most situations. This is a fairly standard style choice when creating a console-based font or one that is trying to imitate typewriters.Ī lot of people like to use Lucida Console. You might also notice that some of the tall letters like “l” and “i” have little backward lips on them. Each letter follows the same trends and rules, making it very easy to read. It’s a great one because it shows uniformity with the letters being used. Lucida Console is a good one that uses the “Console” name to show that it is trying to replicate a typewriter. Typewriters wouldn’t have used a font similar to it for all those years if it wasn’t really easy for people to read, after all. Many people like to write in Courier because it’s simplistic and easy to read. On top of all of that, it’s also a very popular choice. It looks almost identical to how most typewriters looked, making it a solid choice for many. If you were to type on a typewriter right now and compare it, you’d probably find that Courier is the closest relative. It’s believed to be the font that was created to succeed typewriters once they went out of fashion. In fact, you could argue that it’s one of the best ones because most people say that typewriters wrote in Courier. CourierĬourier is a great font choice for typewriters. That makes it a strong contender when it comes to looking at which of these is the most popular typewriter font. Instead, it keeps some of the boldness about it that a typewriter might show. ![]() It doesn’t lean into the perfection that you might find with standard Word fonts like Times New Roman. Of course, there was always room for a bit of error in a typewriter. Each letter looks almost identical to the last, and they follow the lines in a uniform way that looks almost as good as computer processors do today. They have a fairly thick ink with a boldness that’s undeniable. Typewriters tend to have quite distinctive fonts about them. It shows that someone is writing in a uniform way, and the letters follow that trend. It comes from the idea of a “console,” which is the font name used for most typewriter-based fonts. ConsolasĬonsolas is a great font that imitates what typewriters can produce. There are plenty of others, but these are some of the best on offer. They all work really well to bring about the same characteristics of how typewriters used to look. The best typewriter fonts in Microsoft Word are Consolas, Courier, Lucida Console, and Agency FB. There are some really good fonts available on Microsoft Word that should help you to get close to how typewriters look. Typewriters might not be a common thing anymore, but that doesn’t mean that people don’t want to recreate the look of one. I missed them hotdogs and Italian beef from home but I got them and they went real fast yummy The beefs were great haven't eaten the hot dogs yet I will never order this again and will order from Portillo. ![]() The quality of the meat was very low and not the Chicago store beef I’ve known and. The beard was very small, hard and stale. Very disappointed in the quality of this order.
![]() By diversifying investments in a portfolio, therefore, an investor can reduce the overall level of risk faced. In fact, it has been found that the risk of the portfolio is less than the average of the risks of the individual investments. If an investor has a portfolio of investments in the shares of several different companies, it might be thought that the risk of the portfolio would be the average of the risks of the individual investments. The CAPM is a method of calculating the return required on an investment, based on an assessment of its risk. Investors take the risk of an investment into account when deciding on the return they wish to receive for making the investment. ![]() Whenever an investment is made, for example in the shares of a company listed on a stock market, there is a risk that the actual return on the investment will be different from the expected return. Two further articles will look at applying the CAPM in calculating a project-specific discount rate, and will look at the theory, and the advantages and disadvantages of the CAPM. This article introduces the CAPM and its components, shows how it can be used to estimate the cost of equity, and introduces the asset beta formula.

![]() Sprinkle with the fried onion and panko mixture. Step 7 Transfer the mixture to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.Add the remaining 1/2 cup of fried onions. ![]() Step 6 Add the spinach with juices back to cheese sauce, stirring until well combined.The mixture will be very thick and will give a lot of resistance when stirring. Add the gruyère in three batches, making sure cheese is completely incorporated before adding the next batch. Step 5 Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until completely combined.Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Step 4 Whisk in the milk, salt and pepper.Add the garlic and flour and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, for 2 minutes. Step 3 Add the butter in the same skillet.Transfer to a heat safe bowl and set aside. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Step 2 Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, then add the olive oil.Combine 1/2 cup of fried onions and the panko breadcrumbs in a small bowl set aside. To make the casserole further ahead, you can make the spinach mixture and refrigerate in the baking dish, then add the crispy onion topping just before baking. Plan to let this casserole cool for at least ten minutes before serving (this time is needed for it to set and be easily scoopable). In fact, any juices left from sautéing the spinach will help to thin and smooth out the thick, rich cream sauce. Many recipes call for wringing out the excess liquid from cooked spinach before using. It's a favorite in cheese sauces because of how well it melts, but you can use a gruyère cheese substitute.ĭoes spinach need to be squeezed dry for spinach casserole? Gruyère has a smooth, nutty flavor that plays well with lots of different veggies, especially spinach and Brussels sprouts. This casserole would be a decadent side for a steak dinner-think of it as a family-style spin on the creamed spinach served at old-school steakhouses-or for any company-worthy dinner. Topping off the baking dish is a combo of (what else?) crispy fried onions and panko breadcrumbs that get nicely golden in the oven. The creamy sauce is the hero here-a garlicky, tangy, cheesy base for the spinach that'll be hard not to lick right off the spoon. As the salad sits in the dressing, the beans slowly dull in color.Take the best of creamed spinach and a classic green bean casserole and you have this simple, beautiful spinach casserole. You can make your three bean salad up to 3 days ahead, but it’s typically best to serve it the same day you make it when the beans are at their brightest. Once your green beans are ready, all the other ingredients are tossed together in one bowl. If you can find fresh green beans in a bag, you can even microwave them according to package directions. ![]() You want a nice crisp green bean that adds texture to the salad. They’re lightly cooked in boiling water for a couple of minutes, just until tender, then they’re rinsed under cold water to stop the cooking process. Since this recipe uses fresh green beans, you’ll need to blanch the beans before tossing them with the rest of the ingredients. How do you make three bean salad from scratch? Try scallions instead of red onion, basil instead of parsley, or add a tablespoon of mustard for a sharper dressing. This three bean salad is so customizable, you can even swap the other ingredients based on your preferences. Of course, if you can’t find fresh green beans, you can always sub in canned green beans or other canned beans, like wax beans, chickpeas, lima beans, or pinto beans. They’re an inexpensive farmer’s market find that’s perfect for salads, casseroles, or other green bean recipes. Fresh green beans are in season in early summer, just in time for cookout season. While we love the idea of an easy pantry salad, we're swapping in fresh green beans in place of the canned green beans for flavor and texture. Traditionally, three bean salad would be made with all canned beans-it’s a quick picnic side dish that only requires a can opener to make. This is what I expect from a drugstore blush, but then again I love some of my Essence and Catrice blushes a lot more than I do this one and those are cheaper than what this retails for. I don’t because you can no longer buy this, but if you want to buy a pressed powder blush by Colourpop and there is a shade on offer that you like: you will find yourself with a decent powder blush. Would I recommend the Colourpop Pressed Powder blush in Parakeet? Not by Colourpop, nor by any other brand. In the end it isn’t and that’s why this blush just isn’t my favorite. However, I wanted the shade to be more vibrant, more popping and just overall a bit more of a standout. Is that the product’s fault? Not necessarily because quality wise this is an easy to use blush that does a lot of things I mostly look for. It’s very nondescript, doesn’t stand out in the sea of blushes that makeup my blush collection and therefore I forget I own this. While the Colourpop Pressed Powder blush in Parakeet is a nice enough blush, I just feel a bit blah about it. This being a matte, I just don’t think it really does what I want it to do. However, I have plenty of other blushes that do that for me and by now I have realized that I prefer blush shades like this if they have some added glow. It is that kind of blush that adds a bit color but without going overboard. Also on the cheeks, this blush just looks muted and barely there. I wanted this to be a vibrant hot coral that adds a true pop of color to the face. That being said though, I didn’t want this blush to be a wearable warm toned pink. Of course we can only judge a product by how it goes onto the cheeks and I have to say I was surprised with how wearable this ends up being. It’s a bit NARS Orgasm like but without the sheen that that has and I decluttered Orgasm for a reason: because I don’t like that shade on me! What does this blush look like applied to the cheeks? Where in the pan this looks like a warm pink toned coral, once applied I just get a lot of pink. Additionally, I think this swatch also shows you quite nicely that the blush doesn’t look the same on my cool skin tone than it does in the pan. Again, it looks pretty on the cheeks and because of the lightweight texture can be build up in intensity, rather than making you look like a clown. So far so good, but in terms of pigmentation, I also find this to be quite muted. The texture of this powdered blush is nice: it picks up nicely with a brush and it blend easily. ![]() If the shade was a bit of a letdown, then let me tell you: so was the swatch. Yes, it goes on quite easily and I can certainly use it, I just don’t think this blush is anything too special. Because of its nondescript color, Parakeet is actually quite versatile, but other than: just a warm toned blush, I feel this doesn’t add much of anything to my complexion. I just felt it was difficult to use, but now that it is in my shop my stash I am finding it works well if I am looking for a warm toned blush that goes with lots of things. What is the shade Parakeet like?Īfter getting over my disappointment, I never really reached for this shade. And these kinds of blushes are my least favorite: I am just not entirely sure what it will look like on and therefore I just can’t sure what looks to put it with. I thought it was going to be more like Milani’s Coral Cove than this very dull looking blush. It’s pretty, don’t get me wrong, but it just looked a lot more vibrant on the website. Only to get this home and be disappointed to find a muted pinky coral shade. I bought this thinking it would be a super vibrant hot coral. What does this blush have to offer?Īs with the other two blushes I have tried so far, Parakeet was a bit wrongly described on the website. I bought mine for $8 so that was a little bit cheaper. ![]() By now, Colourpop offers their pressed powder blushes as a single product ranging from $9 – $12. I bought this as a single pan and then added the compact myself. I bought this, back in the day, when the pressed blushes were quite new. This being the first Colourpop blush I bought and with Colourpop the kind of brand that discontinues products faster than you can say: Bob’s your uncle, this of course is no longer around. So I decided to finally put it in a shop my stash to determine how much I actually like it. Why is that? Because it isn’t my favorite. Despite this being the first Colourpop blush I ever purchased it is one I am reviewing last. So far I have reviewed Catch My Vibe from the Making Mauves collection and Vogue from the Dark Blooms collection. In this review, we will be having a look at my third and final Colourpop pressed powder blush.

This can be accomplished with two configuration items in your. The first thing we need to do is disable default PHP support. TLDR the full settings file is on GitHub. These features will be implemented by installing these extensions: PSR code sniffing emitting errors, and warnings in real time.Path autocompletion, for string literal file paths.If you remove or change the first line PhpStorm says (predictably) 'Undefined class Schema'. Documentation when hovering over methods I can confirm that if you remove the line 'use IlluminateSupportFacadesSchema' (and dont add the other) it will work in PHPStorm.Environmental information in case of problems: MacOS mojave 10.14.4 laravel. Now it is the version of 2018.3, and it works normally in this version. ![]() I have no choice but to lower the version of Phpstorm. Function/Method signature parameter hinting. Reinstalling the plugin and restarting phpstorm will work again, but it will fail again after a while.This handy parameter lets you link from one class to. Today I learned about the mixin phpDocBlock parameter. So here I have a nice and easy way to handle this when the ide-helper package lets you down. Errors, warnings, and other introspection such as unused variables. Sometimes the Laravel IDE Helper package cant help you with getting the auto-completion for your facades to work in PhpStorm.At the end of this post, your visual studio code will have these productivity features: With great power, comes great responsibility, and because Visual Studio Code is a powerful text editor that brings an extremely powerful extensibility API, it’s easy to find yourself with a nonsensical settings.json file. One popular IDE is PHPStorm, but today we will highlight which Visual Studio Code extensions transform Visual Studio Code into a full-fledged IDE alternative for PHP. IDE’s can be used to increase one’s productivity since most of them have built-in auto-completion and other useful features such as “Go to definition”, and “Find all references”. Type annotations are supported in PHP which allows you the ability to define the runtime type of function parameters. PHP is a dynamic object-oriented language that brings the developer the power of OOP along with the flexibility of dynamic typing. ![]() Accuracy and efficiencies are virtually guaranteed and no matter what type of project you’re engaged in from home or condo developments to industrial complexes or downtown business developments, this technology will also enable you to “show” prospective clients exactly what their buying into. Reducing design and construction schedules while improving the health and safety of those working on the project just makes good business sense. Today’s reality capture technology is changing the industry. The end result – and don’t just take our word for it – is that reality capture “vastly improves productivity, accuracy, quality and safety throughout the project. It will use GPS systems for accurate geophysical locating purposes, collecting all the data needed to create a 3D model that can then be used for the design of the project. Whether via drones, or even satellite, this inexpensive photogrammetry equipment takes photos of an entire site quickly and from multiple angles. Both will “effectively create textured, high-resolution, geometrically precise 3D models that can be manipulated in design and construction software, replacing many of the traditional methods of surveying and assessing a construction or renovation site.”ĢWhen we use words like “traditional” you might consider substituting “expensive” in its place, meaning that the use of drones and either photography or laser scanning will do the work of a more traditional site survey crew, in record time, resulting in an obvious cost savings. On occasion, laser scanners might also be employed. Reality Capture relies primarily on the use of cameras and UAV’s, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones) to obtain photographs of the area under consideration for construction purposes. Now that you know a bit about the basics, it might be time to go into a little bit of detail. Drones, Data and Design – an Industry Perspective on the Evolution of Reality Capture In many ways, you might say it’s nothing short of revolutionary. It will move your project from site surveys to site plans, incredibly quickly and with a high degree of accuracy. The use of Reality Capture will significantly increase your ability to achieve all of these objectives through the use of the “work smarter not harder” philosophy. We’re excited to develop the app with feedback from the community and to introduce new features as we approach the full release.AEC isn’t just about bringing a project from great design to fruition safely, but also on time and on budget. We believe that this tool will greatly help people of all skill sets to better understand basic scanning principles, bridging the gap between beginners and professionals. "RealityScan is the first step on our journey to make 3D scanning available to all creators. For years it was just a dream that many of us held, but today it’s a dream that we can begin to realize." Martin Bujnak, co-founder Capturing Reality "AR-powered 3D scanning of the real world is the future of virtual content creation. This release represents a new milestone in the growing Epic Games family, blending technology and talent across Unreal Engine, Capturing Reality, Quixel, and Sketchfab to deliver integrated, end-to-end content creation tools at consumer scale. From there, users can seamlessly upload their finished assets to Sketchfab, the ultimate platform for publishing, sharing, and selling 3D, VR and AR content. Once scanning is complete, RealityScan creates a realistic model almost instantly thanks to its lightning-fast photogrammetry software. RealityScan walks users through the scanning experience with interactive feedback, AR guidance, and data quality-checks. As more creators and hobbyists embrace 3D photogrammetry, RealityScan empowers anyone to bring ultra-detailed, digital models of real-world objects into their virtual projects. |
