An overall powerful and efficient peer-to-peer toolĪll in all, if private and secure communications are on top of the list when it comes to sending messages to other people, then Bitmessage may be exactly what you are looking for. Rich suite of configuration settingsīitmessage allows you to start the utility at user login, show notifications upon received messages, run the tool in a portable mode (messages and configuration files are stored in the same directory as the program), set up proxy parameters, and limit the bandwidth (the maximum download and upload rate). However, a total level of encryption is not achieved since a user who knows the chan passphrase may read the chan and post any message into it. ChansĪ chan represents a decentralized anonymous mailing list that helps users send messages that include neither the sender’s nor the receiver’s Bitmessage address. What’s more, you can add multiple subscriptions, create a new entry in your address book by adding names and labels to other Bitmessage users in order to quickly identify them, keep a blacklist and whitelist for blocking or allowing connections, as well as check out an overview of your network status that includes information about the total number of connections, down and up speed, processed broadcast messages and public keys. Subscriptions, address book, blacklist and network status The application keeps a list with all your sent messages and lets you create a new identity (address) by generating random numbers or using a passphrase. You may type in the message directly in the main window or paste the information from the clipboard. Sending options, sent messages, and identitiesīitmessage gives you the possibility to send a message to one or more specific people or broadcast to everyone who is subscribed to your address. You may view HTML code as formatted text, mark items as unread, reply to the selected message, add sender to your address book, and save messages or send them to trash. In addition, you may filter data by one of the aforementioned options. The Inbox panel is quite intuitive and reveals a list with all your messages along with some information about them, such as receiver, sender, subject and received date. Clean feature lineupīitmessage reveals a multi-tabbed layout that allows you to quickly switch between the main features of the program, namely Inbox, Send, Sent, Your Identities, Subscriptions, Address Book, Blacklist, and Network status. For an extra layer of security, the utility does not archive messages on the network. The result of this information mix is that it proves to be quite difficult to track down the computers. It also integrates its own anonymous P2P network that mixes and scrambles all encrypted message of a given users with all the other messages of all users. This decentralized tool helps you send encrypted messages to another user or multiple subscribers using public key cryptography so that only the receivers are capable of decrypting the message.

Only the top card in each Column is dealt face up. The first four Columns are dealt 6 cards, and the remaining six Columns are each dealt 5 cards. There are ten Columns and each Column is dealt either 5 or 6 cards. The DealĢ-Suit Spider uses two decks (four sets of Ace through King in Hearts, and another 4 sets in Spades. The goal in 2-suit Spider Solitaire is the same as in most other Spider games: Arrange eight sets of cards from King down to Ace in the same suit directly within the Columns. It is nowhere near as difficult as regular Spider, but it still makes you work for the win. Spider 2-Suits strikes the perfect balance. Click on the Stock to deal another card to each Column, but only when no Column is empty.Empty Columns may be filled with any properly sequenced card(s).Built cards IN SUIT can move as a unit, and can be split.Build Columns Down in ANY suit, but prefer the SAME SUIT.Complete sets of cards are removed from the layout.Build sets of 13 cards from King to Ace IN SUIT within the Columns.It is a great introduction to the game of Spider for most people. For example, on Solitaire Network, standard Spider is only won about 4% of the time and is a very difficult game that requires more than the usual amount of strategy and concentration, whereas the the Spider Solitaire 2-suits variation is won about 18% of the time and is a more relaxed version. However, to find the best challenge in spider solitaire, you must go to its hardest level.Although the standard Spider Solitaire game still is a highly popular game, the 2-Suit Spider Solitaire variant has rapidly gained in popularity due to retaining what makes the classic Spider game so good, while making it much more accessible to the average player. As there is a clear goal in this game, anyone can easily join the excitement. You may forget about the time while playing this game. Meanwhile, the hardest level, four suits from two decks of cards are involved in the game. On a medium level, two suits (spades and hearts) are played. On an easy level, the cards are all in spades. The higher the level you play, the more points you can earn in the game. Spider solitaire has varied difficulties starting from easy to hard. To avoid the game to block quickly, try to assemble cards in the same suit if possible. To do this, however, you have to fill all available spaces. ![]() If there is no more possibility to move, you can deal with another row of ten face-up cards. Somehow, the king can only be moved to the available space. For instance, if you have a unit of cards with J as the bottom card, then you can move the unit to any queens. The movable cards can be put on the available space or the higher rank of cards from the bottom unit in spite of different suit or color. If you wish to remove all the face-up cards from 6 to 3, the face-down card will be opened automatically and become available to use. However, you cannot move 6 without removing 3,4, and 5. ![]() You may move merely the cards from 5 to 3 as a unit to other piles if needed. ![]() For instance, you have a pile of cards consists of 3,4,5, and 6. You may break down the sequence of the face up cards. These face-up cards can be moved along with all face-up cards below it in the ascending sequence and suit. Four cards in each pile are set to face down, while the top cards are opened and face up. When you first open this spider solitaire game, you will be given 10 piles of cards consisting of 5 cards in each pile. The ‘spider’ name labeled to the game is based on these numbers of suits. As there are 4 suits in a standard pack, thus you will have to assemble 8 suits to win and end this game. Therefore, the total cards you will have in a game is 104. Spider solitaire consists of 2 packs of cards. In other words, this game requires you to assemble the 13 cards of a suit. ![]() The main objective of the game is to arrange a suit sequence descending from king to ace with the king on top of the pile. Spider is one of many versions of solitaire games. However, there are other things you have to know to best achieve high points from the game. From teenagers to adults, very few of them choose not to play this solitaire game. Who does not know spider solitaire? This game has widespread, huge fans around the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() And everyone who was long enough in the business knew it: a systematic and consistent use of bloody relevant content for customers, prospects, workers, partners and everyone in the business ecosystem, in a digital context starting with decent content on websites so visitors at least didn’t have to waste days to find what they were looking for. Joe also told the story of the term ‘content marketing’ as such and how at the time he was trying it out along with many others to give a name to what was undervalued for so long. It was not the same as it has evolved into what we see happening now. When we first met, after an interview early 2010 and at a round table I organized later that year where it became clear Joe had similar views (and which would result in my helping with the launch of the European version of Chief Content officer magazine), Joe explained how he “saw” content marketing. I know who coined the term ‘content marketing’ however: Joe Pulizzi. I don’t know who ‘coined’ the term social media marketing nor do I care knowing. I guess even umbrellas can mean many things too, imagine umbrella terms.Ĭontent is crucial in marketing and in digital and human interaction in the broadest possible sense. Did we talk about those very small umbrellas we use to make our cocktails look better yet? I hope you understand the little analogy. And, guess what: umbrellas come in all colors and shapes too because everyone has different preferences and tastes. ![]() On top of that, some people in some countries carry umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun or just look nice. But at least everyone knows what an umbrella is, which can’t be said about umbrella terms as they are not tangible realities. Protecting from the rain is your business challenge and marketing goal, the people under the umbrellas are you and your customers/workers. ![]() Umbrellas are meaningless without the context: rain and the people carrying them to stay dry. And the big debates simply happen because many different people with many different backgrounds, experiences and roles are active in those very broadly defined fields (and now and then because it serves other, hidden, goals). It has a lot to do with the fact that both content marketing and social media marketing (and many other “forms” of marketing and even of business) are umbrella terms that by definition can be used for a broad variety of goals. The whole fight over what exactly is the role of content and social media for marketing and business goals has nothing to do with what you – and your colleagues, customers, connections and networks – can actually achieve with content and social. Why this confusion? Who is right and who is wrong? The easy answer: everyone is right. Did I mention sales enablement yet? Branding? Retention? Yeah, but what about traffic, links and SEO, we need traffic, right? And isn’t social often about traffic too? Well, if it wasn’t, then why would we share all the time? Just because we’re so empathic and caring? I don’t think so. Oh, no, it’s about giving buyers the information they’re looking for. Same thing in content marketing: it’s about storytelling. OK, but what about engagement and conversations? Hey, did anyone look at customer service? Social sharing, inbound traffic, branding, the customer experience,… No, no, it’s about sales and lead generation. It’s about PR, reputation and social capital. It’s hard to believe there are still so many views on the role of content and social media for marketing and business purposes. The role of content and social media: everyone is right (and no one is) The same phenomenon happened and still happens in social media (marketing) and other domains of marketing and business. Many people still use content marketing without a clear purpose or just for the sake of it, usually influenced by someone who says that without content marketing you’re nothing. Of course, all these opinions and posts haven’t changed the world. I like these attempts to ‘look beyond the obvious’. I was pleasantly surprised to see that many people using content for marketing purposes (as I do) wrote similar posts taking a critical look at the evolutions in content marketing. In 2012 I took it a step further with a blog post on the ‘big content marketing fail’. How we’re asking the wrong questions.Ī few years ago I wrote a piece on the commoditization of content (marketing) in a social jungle.

The same is true for a malignant melanoma mouse cell line. Utikal and his colleagues at the Harvard Medical School were able to show that mouse and human melanocytes could be converted into induced pluripotent stem cells in much higher quantities than was previously possible by using fibroblasts. iPS cells therefore have huge therapeutic potential.Īlthough it was previously possible to generate iPS cells from body cells, it was impossible to produce a high enough quantity. In addition, iPS cells have the decisive advantage that they can be withdrawn from the patients' own body cells, thereby preventing the danger of rejection once transplanted. Since iPS cells can be produced without needing to destroy the embryo, there are no ethical concerns and the scientists hope that these cells will be able to largely replace research involving embryonic stem cells and that they will be used as the basis for cell replacement therapies. Like embryonic stem cells, iPS cells have the ability to differentiate into practically all cell types and hence tissue.

You can choose whether your chosen sound plays all night or turns off after 15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. RISE has sound recordings of the ocean, a waterfall, and rainfall.

Eye AF feature doesn’t feel super useful in some instances.Why it made the cut: This perfectly balanced body puts the emphasis on speed at every step of the process. If you’re looking for more resolution, you can step up to the Canon EOS R5, which has 45 megapixels of resolution and more tactile controls, but it also costs considerably more. It’s a little more expensive than our best beginner pick, but packs some compelling features that make it a better fit for high-end video or high-speed sports shooting. Want the best full-frame mirrorless camera? The Canon EOS R6 is a fantastic all-around mirrorless camera with a 20MP full-frame sensor, Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus, up to 20fps continuous shooting, an ultra-high resolution electronic viewfinder, 5-axis in-body image stabilization, and the ability to shoot 4K video at up to 60fps. Not as many tactile controls as some would like.Why it made the cut: It’s the right balance of size, price, and resolution for the majority of advanced shooters. The best full-frame cameras: Reviews and Recommendations Best overall: Canon EOS R6 This list is evolving and will likely pick up some new additions like the excellent Sony A7 IV as soon as we’ve had more extensive hands-on time with it. We started with a roster in the dozens and whittled it down to these selections. This group was compiled through a mix of first-hand testing, spec comparisons, editorial reviews, and user feedback. The writers and editors at Popular Photography have been testing and reviewing cameras for decades and have had hands-on time with almost every camera on this list. How we picked the best full-frame cameras Best for photos and video: Sony a7S III.Best upgrade from a smartphone: Sony a7C.And while upgrading to full-frame is certainly no replacement for hard work and talent, it also doesn’t hurt. We curated this list of the best full-frame cameras by selecting models best-suited for different kinds of photographers and content creators. Because there’s less room on the sensor, APS-C cameras typically can’t quite match the image quality found in the best full-frame cameras.īut, just because a camera has a big chip inside doesn’t make it a winner. You don’t get the full width out of your lenses. Smaller sensor cameras, like those that use APS-C sensors, only capture part of the image circle, which makes the images appear more zoomed-in. A 50mm lens feels like a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera. This familiar size means that standard lenses will produce the angle of view you’d expect if you were shooting with an older film camera. The phrase “full-frame” means that the sensor inside the camera is the same size as a singe photo taken on 35mm film. ![]() That’s what makes full-frame cameras so popular with photographers and video shooters. Sensor size isn’t everything, but a little extra silicon real estate certainly doesn’t hurt when it comes to image quality and depth of field. ![]() ![]() ![]() Logistics challenges have also added additional pressure to already-congested ports, which now see average wait times of more than 20 days compared to about two days at pre-pandemic levels. alone is expected to rise from 80,000 to more than 160,000 by the end of the decade. With booming e-commerce adoption having accelerated by at least five years over the last 20 months spurred by pandemic-driven habits, the current shortage of last-mile delivery vehicle drivers in the U.S. Within the commercial segment, rising logistics and fulfilment needs paired with a protracted labour shortage have increased urgency for automating trucks and last-mile delivery vans. ![]() In addition to safety considerations, increasing preference for transportation efficiency and accessibility has also fuelled demand for autonomous driving technology. This is further corroborated by the field’s technological readiness, which has accelerated in recent years with more autonomous driving companies graduating from the development phase to the on-road testing phase – to date, more than 1,400 driverless vehicles have been deployed in the U.S. With global economies like the EU requiring key ADAS features in all new vehicles beginning mid-2022, and the NHTSA recommending similar on the grounds of enhanced road safety, a future where cars will take over ultimate control from human drivers is near. Growing acceptance of ADAS by regulators and drivers in recent years have foreshadowed the eventual adoption of full autonomous driving. ![]() ![]() With Tesla and Aurora making critical contributions to the future of autonomous mobility, both companies are expected to generate meaningful upsides within the foreseeable future as the emerging technology becomes increasingly accepted by regulators, car owners, and fleet operators in the long-run. And although Aurora offerings have yet to commercialize and will only be offered across the U.S., the company’s technology can be retrofitted across all vehicle types and brands, which allows for greater capitalization on opportunities arising from the domestic market. While Tesla’s FSD is specifically designed for compatibility with Tesla vehicles and Tesla’s future suite of robotaxis, the company will be able to capitalize on demand from around the world with meaningful take rates thanks to its established global footprint and brand reputation over the years. Rising demand for safe and reliable mobility means will be a boon for both companies’ autonomous driving technologies in the long-run. Meanwhile, increasing demand for safe and reliable autonomous driving solutions across legacy OEMs has also created additional opportunities for emerging players like Aurora Innovation (Nasdaq: AUR ). Key pioneers within the field include Tesla (Nasdaq: NASDAQ: TSLA), the undisputed electric vehicle (“EV”) leader that has leveraged its vast troves of driving data collected over the years to guide the development of “Full Self-Driving” (“FSD”) for its vehicles. And increasing adoption of ADAS has essentially prepared regulators and drivers for the imminent roll-out of level 4 autonomous driving technology, which will no longer require a safety driver behind the wheels and ultimately reduce the chances of accidents caused by human errors in the long-run. Certain level 2 advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) features, such as advanced emergency braking, have already been made mandatory by major government regulatory bodies to ensure vehicle safety. Tightening regulations over vehicle safety, paired with rising demand for reliable and readily accessible transportation have underpinned the rapid development of advanced and autonomous driving technology in recent years. ![]() |
