If you put the card in the last PCIE slot first you may not have to remove it as I did and just install the drivers from the disk supplied. The card then excels without the antennas when the router is in the same room but is fantastic when you put the antennas on. Then the card was detected and Win 10 installed the drivers. I had to take the card out and move it to last PCIE slot furthest away from the graphics card. Install the drivers as per the really bad user instructions. Ignore that as it seems that instruction is for a 2 wire cable and this card comes with 4 wires. Put is on the header with all pins connected as the user guide says to move it over 2 pins. Put the case USB cable header into header 2. Device Type: 300n USB Wireless LAN Adapter Wireless Standard:IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.11 n Supports USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 Compatibility:Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10, Mac OS 10.410.11, Linux Security: WFA, WPA, WPA2, WPS2.0, WAPI RP-SMA connector for Antenna upgrade. Only Bluetooth showed up in device manager and Wifi did not show in network settings. I found installing it on header 1 worked as the card was not recognisable on header 2. But be prepared to fiddle with the card when trying to install the drivers in Windows 10.įirstly connect the USB power header from the card to a USB 2 motherboard header. Bluetooth is effortless and the card is way better than a dongle for each WiFi and BT. The card when install is finish is very good. Over all you can't go wrong with the card if you follow the review/instructions and it has blazing fast speeds.

If it has fed it will be round in circumference and reddish. If it has not fed recently it will be flattened and brown. Everything starts to look like a bed bug if you start to worry about them. An adult bed bug is about the size and shape of an apple seed. The first thing is you have to be able to recognize and distinguish a bed bug from any other insect. What can one do to avoid getting bed bugs? I've tried to smell the coriander scent in bed bug alarm pheromones and have not been able to make the connection, however. In fact, older literature refers to the bed bug as the coriander bug. Some people say at low concentrations it's a pleasant smell-like coriander. At higher concentrations the odor is unpleasant. When a group of bed bugs gets disturbed, you may get a whiff of that odor, which is similar to the odor stink bugs give off. Like many species of bugs, bed bugs release odors called alarm pheromones. That takes a lot of bugs though-maybe 100,000 feeding once a week or more.Īnother clue to infestation is odor. In very severe infestations people can become anemic. With a huge infestation, bed bugs start to move away from the bed, so you're more likely to see one in an exposed place during the day. Because bed bugs are nocturnally active, it's hard to see other signs of their presence-unless you're accustomed to waking up at 3 A.M. Those individuals who are not sensitive to bed bug bites may not know they have an infestation. Among those people who do react to the bites, most of them don't respond to early bites, but develop a sensitivity to subsequent ones. Thirty percent of people or more don't react to bed bug bites at all, and the elderly are less reactive than the rest of the population. The truth is that both are getting bitten, but only one has a reaction to the bites. I have heard of couples reporting that only one partner is getting bitten. Bed bugs are not specific to humans, but they are adapted to parasitizing us.Ĭould you have a bed bug infestation in your home and not know it? Fur is probably a barrier to them, but they could feed at any place on the body without fur. Some labs that study bed bugs rear them on guinea pigs and mice. Bed bugs are also pests in poultry operations, and they're known to parasitize bats. I called Haynes to ask him how to do that and what to do if one suspects an infestation (eek!), among a bunch of other practical-minded questions. In the meantime the best bet is to avoid bringing bed bugs home in the first place. Some of those potential solutions are a long way off, however. The good news is scientists are intensively studying these insects, and their insights suggest novel ways of detecting the bugs and eradicating infestations. In the February issue of Scientific American entomologist Kenneth Haynes of the University of Kentucky explains how, after a lengthy absence, bed bugs are staging a comeback. Or maybe it was a hotel room, office or college dorm. It might have happened in a scrupulously clean bedroom. Chances are, you or someone you know has had a run-in with bed bugs. These records yield the costs listed in the column called, “From Product Sales.” You then extract sales records from your company database, including the cost of each sale. They show you the values in the column called, “From Accounting.” This is a list of general ledger account numbers that are part of the company’s overall COGS which is reported on its financial statements. Suppose you go to your company accountant and ask them for details on the COGS calculation. While the formula looks simple, there are a few important details you need to know about when determining the values for the cost of goods sold (COGS) and inventory for this formula. My focus is on helping clients with inventory and operational analytics, so I’m going use the second formula for the rest of this explanation. That means their focus is on unit quantities and not selling price. Since supply chain professionals use this metric to measure how well they manage inventory, their interest lies in the speed at which product is shipped out to customers. The finance department tends to like the first formula, whereas supply chain professionals like the second formula. The second formula does not relate in any way to price. The difference between these two formulas is that the first one, since it contains sales, has a price component built in. In both cases, the values put into these formulas are in dollars, Euros, pounds or whatever the base currency is for your company. When I create real-time dashboards for clients, I also like to display inventory turns based on the last 365 days so clients can see if they’re improving their inventory management without having to wait for the end of the next quarter or end of the next year to find that out. Most companies measure inventory turns on an annual or quarterly basis. So, the number of inventory turns tells us how many times we sold through our inventory in a given period of time. What do we mean when we reference an inventory turn? What did we actually turn our inventory into? We sold it and turned it into revenue. I’m going to call it inventory turns throughout this explanation. This metric goes by several names, so don’t worry if you hear multiple references. Measuring how fast you sell through your inventory is a key measurement of inventory management performance. Martin interviewed me back in the winter about my book, so it seemed only fair to return the favor. And though neither book was designed this way, I think they accidentally wound up complementing each other very well, providing a wide-ranging look at the internal and external lives of these series over the last 15-odd years. It paints a portrait, warts and all, of the complicated people (mostly male, as the title suggests) responsible for creating these shows. I’ve read “Difficult Men,” and liked it very much. Martin also focuses entirely on cable (and mainly HBO and AMC), while I also folded in network shows like “Buffy,” “Lost,” “24” and “Friday Night Lights.” We both cover the origin stories of the shows in question, but Martin’s narrative sticks to behind-the-scenes discussion as each show continued, while I’m focused more on the stories, the characters and what they meant. We both talked to most of the creators of the shows we covered (other than Matthew Weiner for both of us and Joss Whedon for me) and several of the key executives at each network, but Martin talked to a much wider range of people attached to each show. I’m a critic, and Martin’s a reporter, and that makes a very notable divergence in how we researched and wrote our books. Like those TV doppelgangers, both books were conceived independently years ago, with no awareness of the other’s existence, and wound up approaching the same subject matter in very different ways. As most of you know, I published a book last fall called “The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever,” about the transformation in television that happened as a result of groundbreaking new dramas like “The Sopranos,” “The Wire” and “Deadwood.” Very late in the process of writing it, I learned that another book about this same era, and many of these same shows, was in the works: “Difficult Men: Behind the Scenes of a Creative Revolution: From The Sopranos and The Wire to Mad Men and Breaking Bad,” by magazine journalist and author Brett Martin. Even though many of these doppelgangers turn out to be fairly different in execution, something always seems fishy about the claims that the one show didn’t know at first that the other existed, and that “there was just something in the air” that led to them both existing at the same time.Īfter recent events in my own life, I may have to start taking these claims at face value. Over the years, it’s given me no end of amusement to witness how often two different networks will develop what seems at first to be the exact same show in the exact same season, whether it’s hospital dramas in Chicago (“ER” and “Chicago Hope” in 1994), adults traveling back in time to teenage years (“That Was Then…” and “Do Over” in 2002) or slackers with super powers (“Chuck” and “Reaper” in 2007). That's too bad because the film is one of the better ones in Blake Edwards' career and certainly could use a reappraisal. As it turned out, "Skin Deep" was nowhere near a hit at the box office. The balance is a delicate one and without the sure-handed direction of Blake Edwards, the movie would've fallen flat on its face. "Skin Deep" plays like a combination of two of Edwards' very popular and earlier films, "The Days of Wine and Roses" and "Ten." One minute it's deadly serious and in the next it's a rip roaring comedy-of-errors. "You know what I tell alcoholics when they want me to help them? I tell them to STOP DRINKING." At last, his terse words of wisdom have an immediate and "sobering" effect on Zach and the recovery of his life begins. His simple but critical advice near the end of the movie saves our hero from complete disaster. The best secondary role is reserved for Michael Kidd as Zach's psychiatrist Doctor Westford. Julianne Phillips (Bruce Springsteen's first wife) has a nice role as one of Zach's almost serious relationships. Zach has been a huge disappointment to both of them and it's written all over their faces. She provides some gravitas to the film as does the great Nina Foch (Zach's not too happy mother-in-law). So why are we laughing? Others in the cast include Alyson Reed as Zach's estranged and exasperated wife Alexandra. Zach is spiraling towards suicide even faster than he drives his sportscar. The real funny thing, however, is that "Skin Deep" is actually a serious film posing as a standard Blake Edwards slapstick farce its underlying theme is about the main character's desperate and dire situation. Yet his sexual escapades and disheveled lifestyle contribute to some of the most hilarious scenes ever filmed in a movie. The fact that he's able to easily charm his way into one brief sexual encounter after another and get by with his obvious intelligence only compounds his problems. Alcohol has driven Zach "over the edge" and he's in big trouble. It's a moot point anyway as far as director/writer Blake Edwards is concerned. Whether his "writer's block" was a result of his alcoholism or that he's taken to the bottle because of it is never firmly established with viewers. John Ritter is Zach Hutton, an alcoholic writer whose life is unraveling by the minute. He did an amazing job, and I feel it's his finest performance, displaying his genuine charm as a comedic actor, as well as the possibly even more intriguing serious side of a conflicted, lost man. John Ritter was a master at perfecting both drama and comedy, which is what was needed for this role. The ending was satisfactory, but the movie in general was above average. The ending wraps things up a little too easily, but what the hell? Comedies usually have happy endings. He also endures genuine sadness in his life, and that makes him more human than just a simple comic sketch, and makes this such a great movie. He endures some of the most hilarious situations ever committed to film (I won't even bother mentioning the glow-in-the-ark condom sequence, but yes, it is hysterical). He's a washed up writer, his wife has left him with a settlement that was not exactly fair to his side, and he can't get over his obsession with picking up women. It is somewhat serious, Zach is a tortured soul, but he's mostly casually tortured and takes his abuse with humour, which makes it okay for us to laugh. This is a comedy that has an exaggerated sense of being true to life. It was no big surprise that within the next few scenes he's sobbing in a psychiatrist's office. At this point, I needed to take a very deep breath to brace myself, because it was very obvious that this guy has issues and this movie was going to be full of hilariously painful situations for our hero. They introduce themselves and share their disappointment in Zach. As it turns out, this woman is not Zach's wife, but his mistress, and she is ready to kill him until his wife walks in. The scene that follows is hilarious the music has stopped and we're thrust into a tense but funny moment. She catches him fooling around with a young blonde and grabs Zach's revolver. The house belongs to Zach Hutton, and the woman, we assume, is Zach's wife. Skin Deep starts off to a soulful, bluesy song called "falling out of love" (lyrically quite fitting for the main character), and we see a woman walking into a house. Her usual outfit is a puffy-sleeved pink gown with purple trim. Following the miniseries Stakes, Bubblegum is reinstated as ruler and becomes less overprotective.īubblegum has light pink skin and long magenta "hair," which is bubblegum. At the end of the sixth season, Bubblegum is deposed as ruler following an election, where she realizes she has made the Candy People too unintelligent. Following a near-death experience at the end of the second season, she starts to isolate herself and becomes overprotective of the Candy People, even exhibiting authoritarian tendencies temporarily in the fifth season. Bubblegum is skeptical of magic, refusing to acknowledge it as anything other than “scientific principles presented like mystical hoodoo.”īubblegum is highly protective of the Candy People and cares deeply for their safety, but is secretly strained by the pressures of ruling and expresses a desire for freedom. She is fluent in German and Korean, using the latter language to communicate with her friend Lady Rainicorn. She is brilliant, responsible for creating the Candy People and various devices, including a miniature time machine. Reviewers have argued that she is either bisexual, non-binary, queer, lesbian, or a combination of some of the latter, as both live in a world where " sexuality is somewhat fluid." In the series finale of Adventure Time, " Come Along with Me", Bonnie and Marcy shared on-screen kiss, confirming their relationship.īubblegum is typically very kind and compassionate, having a strong sense of justice, though she shows a dark side when provoked. Bonnie's sexuality has not been officially confirmed. She is good friends with the series' protagonists Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, first appearing with them in Ward's 2008 pilot. Princess Bubblegum rules the Candy Kingdom, which other "Candy People" inhabit. Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum (also called Bonnie or PB, occasionally P-bubs) is a fictional character in the American animated television series Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward.

And, you can count on acrylic paint lasting two to four years. Rubber based paint has a little bit shorter lifespan. Each variety differs in service life expectations, application requirements, and costs.įor the most part, you can expect your pool paint to last anywhere from two to five years.Įpoxy will last you the longest: five to seven years. There are many different factors that will play into answering the question: how long does pool paint last?įor instance, the paint comes in at least three different types. Sure, paints used in pools are specifically designed to be used underwater and to handle rough treatment, extreme temperatures, and poor water chemistry, but at half an inch thick, plaster can handle much more than a thin layer of paint. Over the long term, plaster will definitely look better as paint starts to wear, peal, and flake after a couple years. With a Designer Series or a Mini Pebble you can pick from a variety of colors and get exactly what you want. The standard white plaster has a luster that resembles an eggshell. If the only factor you are considering is cost, painting your pool is the winner. We will cover this more below, but plaster will last you about four times as long as paint.Ĭheck out our pool resurfacing calculator to get an instant estimate for what it would cost to resurface your pool with plaster. You can expect to pay around $4,000 for a plaster job, but this will vary depending on your pool. It goes for around $100 per gallon, and your pool will likely need up to 10 gallons. Pool paint is among the most expensive paints available. You will then be given a few upkeep instructions. You need a crew to remove the old plaster, acid etch the pool, apply a bond coat, and then a crew will come out and shoot the plaster out with a hose. You then apply a coat of paint with long, even strokes, wait six hours, and apply another coat. For epoxy paints, you also need the pool to dry for up to five days. In addition to draining the pool, you need to degrease the surface using TSP scrub, acid etch the plaster, then wash and scrub with TSP again before you can paint. We’re going to look at a few of the most important factors and determine whether replastering or painting is the better option. There are several factors to consider when doing pool finish comparisons. Instead, your best bet is to consult with a contractor who has experience working on your pool type and finding out which they recommend: pool paint vs. The pool industry is quite competitive so if you do contact a pool painting contractor, may of them will be more than happy to paint your pool, regardless of whether it is the best solution for your circumstances. If you are confident in your abilities to paint, you will save a lot over hiring a contractor. Most rubber paints and epoxies specifically designed for use in pools come with basic directions that make it somewhat easy for the typical pool owner to get the job done. You can cut costs by painting the pool on your own instead of hiring a pool painting contractor. While the initial investment for painting plaster is generally half that of resurfacing plaster, the protection is inferior, and you will need a new paint job before long. However, experts agree that the long-term costs of painting a pool are more than resurfacing the plaster.ĭue to the array of factors that go into the calculation, it’s hard to directly compare the costs of pool paint vs plaster. There are a couple reasons why experts are against painting a plaster pool.įor one, pool resurfacing contractors enjoy their work and want pool owners to have a surface that will last for many years. However, pool experts seem to all agree that in the long run, resurfacing your plaster is the better alternative. Compared to resurfacing interior plaster, it may appear that painting is the more affordable solution. The debate between adding a new plaster layer or just applying paint is one that pool owners must deal with at some point. Whenever any request comes from the user to the server, it is scanned to check if it is a genuine request or some bots trying to access the cloud applications or WordPress website. When you use miniOrange Reverse Proxy, it acts as a mediator between the Backend Site and the Users. It gathers information on network traffic, speed, and classifications and generates an analysis report for traffic management. The network’s incoming and outgoing traffic is monitored by the traffic monitoring system. Implementation of miniOrange Reverse Proxy to stop Bot traffic on a website: Reverse proxy will analyze bi-directional web-based (HTTP) traffic and allows you to monitor, detect and block bot traffic to your web applications. Now when Traffic Bot comes across the network, reverse proxy will prevent bot traffic from coming to the Cloud Applications or WordPress website and affecting the analytics. Now let’s introduce Reverse proxy and secure cloud applications or WordPress websites by putting them behind a reverse proxy. The company has to bear the loss of $30 as the 30 clicks of the advertisements are wasted by traffic bots attacks. Suppose the company has a total Traffic Bot attack of around 30%. But the company has too many Traffic Bot attacks. For that particular advertisement, the company has to pay $1 per click. Let’s say the company has a Cloud Applications or a WordPress website that has advertisements going on regarding their product. After the reverse proxy confirms the user to not be a BOT, only then the user will be redirected to the proxied site (original site). Before any user, bot or human reaches your website their request will first go to the reverse proxy. How to block bot traffic on a WordPress site using Reverse Proxy?Ī reverse proxy stands as the ultimate solution to filter bot traffic and prevent any kind of bot attacks. Bot traffic is bad for business since certain WordPress websites rely on advertising, and traffic bots will increase the number of advertisement hits, which will cost the organization a lot of money. If bot traffic is not managed properly, it can cause serious issues such as overloading servers, slowing down services, and even a DDoS attack. However, using a reverse proxy to block bot traffic from entering the system, ensures that your data remains safe and secure. However, by the time the user becomes aware of the automated traffic bot attacks, it is too late because the bots have already entered the system. In a typical scenario, the bot traffic enters the network one by one and begins attacking the system without the user’s knowledge. Hence, it is important to block Bot Traffic attacks.īy using a reverse proxy, you won’t need any other solution to filter bot traffic from Google Analytics: These attacks can cost a lot to companies who have online or website presence. Bot Traffic attacks don’t majorly harm the Cloud App security but it does affect the analytics of the Cloud Applications in measures like bounce rate, session duration, location of the user and many more. This tells us that 20-30% money is wasted on these Bot Traffic attacks. It is not good for the SEO of your WordPress website.Īccording to many resources, around 20-30% of Cloud Applications traffic is equipped by Traffic Bot. Content Scraping: Bot traffic can be used for extracting data from the application.Ad Fraud: Bot traffic will visit the advertisement present on your application and affect the ad clicks, which will affect the cost of the advertisement.DDS Attacks: Bot traffic will attack the application which will create huge traffic and take your site down with a Denial of Service attack.Spam Bots: Bot traffic can be used for spamming any webpage or cloud application with various comments or unwanted traffic.The 4 most common bad bot attacks used on WordPress sites are: Why does your organization need a Reverse Proxy to secure WordPress websites and cloud applications to prevent bot traffic? In this blog, we will see the common bot traffic attacks on WordPress sites, and how we can prevent bot traffic attacks. An increase in Bot Traffic leads to an increase in website traffic, which leads to an increase in false data, false data is of no use to any company. So if you observe anomalies (generally spikes) in your web traffic, your site might be a target of a traffic bot attack. Traffic bots can create an abnormally high bounce rate, abnormally high and low session views, generate a huge amount of traffic on the site, false account generation and many more such consequences to bot traffic attacks. They usually find a way, by using open backdoors of a website or gaining access to a less-protected network to target the site. These traffic bots are crawling every website they can find, and cause some serious SEO damage to websites. Bot Traffic on websites has been increasing for small or large businesses globally. When I show them they sometimes see the light. I tell people and tell people about the advantages of things, and they don't want to know. When TypeIt4Me came out more than 20 years ago I tested it for 3 days and bought a copy – what a no-brainer. QuicKeys became available a year or two after the Mac debuted – and turned a useless chunk of circuits into a working machine (once upgraded to a MacPlus). (Of course I don't much care for it when I'm on the other side of the equation.) It's shocking that people don't get things that are obvious to me. If so, I apologize, and request that you post the link to it. I'd like to include some great examples of KM macros.īTW, I've reviewed the KM Wiki, Documentation, Home page, and elsewhere, and I have not been able to find something succinct that clearly communicates to people who know little or nothing about KM. So, I'm working on a little script I can use, and maybe put in the Keyboard Maestro Wiki if Peter approves. But I have a hard time succinctly stating "What is Keyboard Maestro?". I am a huge fan/user of Keyboard Maestro, and I like to share info about it with my friends and colleagues, and fellow Internet users. Of course, if you have a list that you would prefer to be used, we can certainly go with that. I'm sure that and others will have thoughts on the criteria for what is the "best". This list is just off the top of my head.
