Xbox Wireless Controller review
Review, Gaming
Xbox Wireless Controller has undergone some upgrades Epblogs goal is to be the tech side of trust. We are proud of our independence and of our Xbox Wireless Controller review thorough testing methods, in which we take our time with a product. We regularly check our test reports for changes and thus keep them up-to-date over a longer period of time – regardless of when a device was released.guaranteed reviews . Trust our Epblogs comprehensive reviews. We tested the products over a longer period of time and were able to see how they cope with everyday tasks. This is how we help you to find the best product for your read our guaranteed reviews .
The Xbox Wireless Controller has seen some improvements over the years, but its most recent is the best yet. The Xbox Series X/S gamepad offers a more premium feel without the price tag, with improved tactile textures and refined geometry resulting in a more accessible and comfortable gaming experience. However, we wish the controller was capable of recharging without having to purchase an extra add-on.
Xbox Wireless Controller price and availability
Xbox Wireless Controller price: $59.99 / £54.99 / AU$74.99
Xbox Wireless Controller price: Amazon/US$69.99
Three colors at launch: Carbon Black, Robot White and Shock Blue
The Xbox Wireless Controller price is $59.99 / £54.99 / AU$74.99, but it's worth noting that every Xbox Series X and Series S console comes with a controller in the box.
You'll only need to buy another controller if you're looking to pick up a replacement, or a second (or third, or fourth) for co-op play at home.
You shouldn't have too much trouble finding additional units either, with the Xbox Wireless Controller readily available at many major retailers, both online and in-store.
As well as being available in Carbon Black and Robot White, at launch the Xbox Wireless Controller also comes in a head-turning Shock Blue.
Feels familiar in the hand yet subtly different
Improved tactile textures and refined geometry
New Share button
On the surface, the Xbox Wireless Controller doesn't look like a particularly drastic departure from its predecessor. It sports a similar shape, and keeps the traditional button and trigger layout. On closer inspection, though, you begin to notice the subtle differences Microsoft has implemented.
For a start, the gamepad's exterior now sports a matte finish that closely matches the new consoles' designs. While this certainly looks sleek, it does come with drawbacks – the black controller that comes with the Xbox Series X easily picks up scuffs and scrapes that are noticeable.
Considering the amount of hands-on time controllers are subjected to it's possible that you'll find it hard to keep yours looking in tip-top condition for years to come.
Other color variants of the controller are available though (you'll need to buy these separately, while a white version comes included with the Xbox Series S), and some may be less prone to scuffs.
That's a minor quibble, though, and overall we found that the Xbox Wireless Controller resembles a more premium controller, both in look and feel. The revised pad now has a tactile texture on the triggers, grips and bumpers, which we found made the controller feel more secure in our hands.
In addition, while the controller is the same size as its predecessor, the bumpers and triggers have been rounded and reduced in size by a few millimeters, which makes the gamepad feel less bulky. If you're someone with small hands, past Xbox controllers have felt quite tanky, but this simple change improves comfort levels in a subtle but noticeable way.
Perhaps the most notable changes to the controller are the addition of the 'Share' button and the hybrid D-pad. The Share button essentially acts as a capture button, allowing you to easily snap screenshots of your game – a single click takes a snapshot, while holding the button down for longer records a 15-second video by default (you can adjust the video duration in the Capture settings).
This is much easier than on the Xbox One, where you have to press the home button and then X or Y, but we did find it a bit fiddly to quickly take a screenshot – your experience may vary depending on how big your hands are.
The hybrid D-pad, on the other hand, aims to provide a middle-ground between the Xbox One controller's classic D-pad and the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2's changeable disc-shaped, faceted D-pad.
What results is a kind of traditional D-pad, laid over a disc. Again, this is a small but welcome change and is intended to give more control and leverage over the D-pad – while generally feeling more comfortable.
The D-pad also gives off a loud click we haven't heard from a controller before. You'll either find it satisfying or a bit annoying – we often found it the latter – though those used to mechanical keyboards may not be all that bothered.
But there's a lot about the controller's design that hasn't changed. It keeps the 3.5mm audio jack and expansion port at the bottom, its USB charge port and pairing button at the top, and its View, Menu and Xbox buttons on the face.
Works on a range of devices
Lower latency
Rechargeable battery pack needs bought separately
Remappable (but this is limited)
In addition to the cosmetic changes, the Xbox Wireless Controller brings improvements in functionality too. We found the controller to be more responsive, which is likely down to the lower latency Microsoft has boasted about (paired with more frame rate stability of the Xbox Series X/S), while connecting the gamepad wirelessly via Bluetooth to a range of devices – including the Xbox One, an iPhone 11, and a Mac – was straightforward.
The Xbox Wireless Controller again runs on AA batteries (regular or rechargeable), but if you want to avoid the hassle of changing or charging batteries constantly you have two options.
You can invest in a Play and Charge kit (a rechargeable battery back which you can use to charge the controller while you're playing or between sessions), or connect your controller to the console via USB-C (although this will, of course, limit your freedom of movement).
In terms of remapping, you can remap the Xbox Wireless Controller on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S via the Xbox Accessories app – though the level of customization is somewhat limited.
The app allows you to remap a fair few of the controller's buttons to your tastes and even gives you control over aspects such as whether your controller vibrates and whether you want your sticks automatically inverted. We found remapping fairly straightforward, even if there are some buttons – like the Xbox button and the triggers – which can't be changed.
Given that the Xbox Wireless Controller utilizes the impulse trigger feature found in previous iterations of Xbox gamepads – providing haptic feedback to your fingertips when you, for example, drive the dirt roads of Dirt 5 – the lack of trigger remapping is understandable.

Bea Szenfeld Dresses Dancers in Her Haute Papier Fashion
by Margot BuermannPosted on July 15, 2016
Swedish fashion designer Bea Szenfeld is known for her experimental style that uses unconventional materials to create her extraordinary pieces. Her Haute Papier collection features handmade outfits constructed entirely from paper, showcasing her imaginative approach and technical ability to transform the material into wearable art. Now, Szenfeld takes her origami-inspired fashion from the runway to the theatre in a collaboration with the Royal Swedish Opera, featuring dancers modeling her designs. The images of ballerinas dressed in Szenfeld's voluminous, sculptural costumes are currently on display at the Dansmuseet in Stockholm in an exhibition called "Everything You Can Imagine is Real". Images by Karolina Henke.
Szenfeld, whose designs have been worn by Björk and Lady Gaga, said in the press release: "I love the combination of Dansmuseet, my paper costumes and The Royal Swedish Opera. It is both unlikely and obvious at the same time. Paper costumes and dance, let's do it! Through the scissors and the body everything is connected, the tough and wonderful craft." The exhibition runs through September 25, 2016. View more examples from her Haute Papier collection below (photographed by Joel Rhodin):

A Python article about Packaging. It may be related to bdist, PyPI, easy_install, pip, distribute or something similar.
Today we're going to take a look at the controversial easy_install method of installing Python modules and packages. We will also learn how to create our own *.egg files. You will need to go get the SetupTools package to follow along. This package doesn't support Python 3.x so if you need that, see pip or distribute. There will be articles on each of those projects in the future. For now, we'll be starting with SetupTools and easy_install.
Why is it controversial? I'm not completely certain, but people were not happy with the way it would partially install packages because it doesn't wait for the download to finish. Also I've heard that the author wasn't very interested in updating it but wouldn't allow anyone else to update it either. See the Ziade article at the end of this post.

How the World Works, 2011 Version
From Politico:
AT&T Gave Cash to Merger Backers
By Eliza Krigman
AT&T is lining up support for its acquisition of T-Mobile from a slew of liberal groups with no obvious interest in telecom deals - except that they've received big piles of AT&T's cash.
In recent weeks, the NAACP, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the National Education Association have each issued public statements in support of the deal.
The groups all say their public positions have nothing to do with the money they received from AT&T. And AT&T says it supports nonprofit groups because it's the right thing to do - and not because of any quid pro quo.
"For decades, AT&T has proudly supported numerous diverse groups and organizations," a company spokesperson told POLITICO.


Baynatna is the first public Arabic library in Berlin, opened on 18th February 2017. "Baynatna" means "between us" in Arabic: this very popular phrase creates a special kind of intimacy between people who agree to share insights, thoughts or stories even if only just for second. In the process of establishing Baynatna, our international team relied on humor, trust, and sensibility to facilitate a space for dialogs no one knows where exactly they may lead us. An architecture class from Berlin's Technical University designed and donated movable shelves and furniture that can be folded out to create a comfortable and warm space that remains open to everyone. The library continues to grow based on book donations and voluntary work. Baynatna provides as a safe space for a generation of readers who have lost not only their homelands, but also their books. Our book collection allows the readers to experience a taste of the home they have left and to become acquainted with worlds previously unknown to them. We use the power of stories to convey cross-cultural experiences and to foster an inclusive and progressive environment. On one hand, we provide literature to newcomers who, coming to Germany, are deprived of reading in their native language. On the other hand, we aim to have Arabic works translated into German and/or English so that people in Berlin can discover the long literary tradition that we have to offer. We spark discussions not only with the books on our shelves, but also through weekly live readings, music performances, and workshops. Baynatna is currently based at the Zentral- und Landesbibliothek of Berlin, Breite str. 30-36, 10178. Welcome!

C. Lorenz AG — германская компания, производитель электротехники и электроники, существовавшая с 1880 по 1958 годы. За время своего существования компания внесла существенный вклад в разработку электронных устройств и усовершенствование технологии их производства.

История

Основание и ранние годы

В 1870 году Карл Лоренц открыл в Берлине мастерскую по изготовлению электрических осветительных приборов. В 1880 году он перепрофилировал мастерскую на производство телеграфных аппаратов, назвав её «C. Lorenz Telegraphenbauanstalt». После смерти Лоренца, в 1889 году, предприятие перешло в собственность текстильного промышленника Роберта Гельда. Гельд сохранил прежнее название компании и назначил техническим директором Альфреда Лоренца, брата основателя. Под руководством Гельда компания вскоре стала крупным поставщиком телеграфного и сигнального оборудования для железных дорог. В 1893 году, купив компанию «Lewert», компания Гельда вышла на рынок оборудования для телефонной связи. В 1898 году начато производство пишущих машинок, а к началу XX века открылись несколько филиалов в других городах. В 1906 году компания вышла на фондовый рынок под именем «C. Lorenz AG» (далее — «Lorenz»).

Первая мировая война и межвоенный период

К началу Первой мировой войны компания «Lorenz» насчитывала около 3000 сотрудников и являлась крупным поставщиком проводных телефонов и телеграфов для германской армии, а также разрабатывала оборудование для радиосвязи. Для этого в берлинском районе Темпельхоф была построена большая фабрика, а к 1918 году туда же переместились штаб-квартира и научно-исследовательское подразделение. После поражения Германии компания была вынуждена значительно сократить деятельность и переключиться на производство потребительских радиоприемников, передатчиков для радиовещания и авиационных радиостанций. В 1919 году «Lorenz» впервые в Германии начал радиотрансляции, а в 1923 году представил первый домашний радиоприемник, «Liebhaber-Empfänger». В течение 1920-х годов производство радиооборудования и электронных ламп стало основным видом деятельности для компании, сделав её основным конкурентом «Telefunken».

После смерти Гельда, в 1924 году, контрольный пакет акций «Lorenz» попал на рынок и в 1930 году был приобретен компанией «Standard Elektrizitätsgesellschaft», дочерним предприятием американской «International Telephone and Telegraph». Несмотря на это, «Lorenz» продолжал оставаться самостоятельной компанией. Разработка в 1932 году нового типа радионавигационных систем — системы слепой посадки самолетов — значительно укрепила позиции компании на рынке авиационного радиооборудования. В 1935 году «Lorenz» запатентовала ферритовую антенну, которая с тех пор использовалась в большинстве потребительских радиоприемников.

Вторая мировая война

Во время подготовки Германии к новой войне, «Lorenz» вновь стал играть важную роль в поставках снаряжения для Вермахта. Изготовление электронных ламп для военных нужд было начато в 1937 году, за ним последовало производство комплексов радиосвязи и схожих электронных устройств. К моменту вторжения Германии в Польшу 1 сентября 1939 года «Lorenz» существенно увеличил масштаб своей деятельности. В 1940 году была приобретена компания «G. Schaub Apparatebau-Gesellschaft», многочисленные заводы которой стали использоваться для массового производства.

Продукция военного назначения, производимая «Lorenz», включала наземные и авиационные радиолокаторы, радиостанции, магнитофоны, а также наиболее защищённую германскую систему шифрования — «Lorenz SZ». Компании также принадлежало 25 % самолётостроительной компании «Focke-Wulf». В годы войны «Lorenz», как и множество других германских предприятий, использовал труд заключённых концлагерей. На пике производства штат компании насчитывал около 24 тысяч сотрудников, работавших на 12 предприятиях. Крупнейшие предприятия располагались в Берлине, Плауэне, Мюльхаузене, а также в подземном комплексе в окрестностях Ганновера. При заводе в Мюльхаузене было создано женское отделение концлагеря Бухенвальд.

Послевоенные годы

В 1948 году компания была вынуждена восстанавливать производство, весьма серьёзно пострадавшее после поражения Германии. Заводы, оказавшиеся в советской зоне оккупации, частично были вывезены в Советский Союз, частично — взяты под контроль местной администрацией. Часть заводов в союзной оккупационной зоне оказалась закрыта. Штаб-квартира была перенесена в Штутгарт. В 1950-х годах компании удалось в значительной мере восстановиться, были открыты предприятия в Берлине (производство аппаратуры радиосвязи и разработка оборудования для радиовещания), Эсслингене-на-Неккаре (электронные лампы), Ландсхуте (производство электрических машин, оборудования для радиовещания и сигнальных систем), Пфорцхайме (исследовательский центр, производство телексов, теле- и радиоприёмников, опытное производство). В 1954 году телевизоры и радиоприемники стали выпускаться под именем «Schaub-Lorenz».

В 1958 году «Lorenz» прекратил своё существование в качестве самостоятельной компании. Предприятия «ITT Corporation» в Германии были объединены в новую компанию, названную «Standard Elektrik Lorenz» (нем., сокр. SEL). В 1961 году «SEL» приобрел крупную долю в компании «Graetz» (нем.). В 1987 году «SEL», к тому моменту компания с весьма диверсифицированным бизнесом, объединилась с французскими «Compagnie Générale d'Electricité» и «Alcatel». Новая компания получила название «Alcatel», а её германское подразделение — «Alcatel SEL AG» (нем.). Предприятия, некогда принадлежавшие «C. Lorenz AG» , были впоследствии проданы компании «Nokia-Graetz GmbH».

Достижения

Технологии производства
После окончания Первой мировой войны, при создании новых производственных линий компания «Lorenz» предприняла ряд исследований в области организации производства. Результатом этих исследований стала система, впоследствии получившая широкое распространение на предприятиях Германии.

В то время сборка электронных устройств производилась либо вручную, либо на конвейере, напоминающем автомобильный: основание прибора двигалось по конвейеру, а рабочие поочередно устанавливали на него отдельные детали. Предложение «Lorenz» состояло в модульной сборке устройств. Функциональные блоки собирались в отдельных корпусах и проходили производственный контроль. Затем из блоков собиралось готовое устройство, которое проходило окончательный контроль качества. Такая система позволила упростить не только производство электроники, но и её последующее обслуживание и ремонт.

Радио

В 1903 году датский инженер Вальдемар Поульсен запатентовал дуговой передатчик — первое радиопередающее устройство, работающее в режиме непрерывного излучения. В 1906 году «Lorenz» приобрел права на производство таких передатчиков. Вскоре после этого компанией был создан первый радиотелефон для германских ВМС. В 1919 году с экспериментальной станции в Эберсвальде с использованием мощного дугового передатчика была произведена первая в Германии радиотрансляция. Большинство ранних радиовещательных станций в Германии использовали передатчики производства «Lorenz».

В 1938 году, в сотрудничестве с «G. Schaub Apparatebau-Gesellschaft», компанией был создан недорогой радиоприемник «DKE-38». Десятки тысяч подобных приемников использовались в Германии для трансляции пропагандистских передач. В 1940 году «Lorenz» купил компанию «G. Schaub Apparatebau-Gesellschaft».

Do you have any of these trainers sitting in your closet? I bet some of you do.
British made Walsh Trainers is an exhibition currently showing at the Fashion and Textile Museum. The inspiring story of Norman Walsh who began his career making shoes at age fourteen back in 1945 with photographs, correspondence and brochures, plus an extensive collection of vintage shoes are on display. In 1948 he fitted out the Olympic team with one pair of Walsh's shoes earning their wearer a gold medal.
The old ones look quite appealing. I haven't worn runners in years. It's either dress shoes, cowboy boots, or hikers for me.
I had quick look in the closet, but found none of these shoes.

Do speakers of Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu -- all Dravidian languages -- have linguistic relatives in the Harappans, the ancient people of the Indus Valley civilisation?
Here's a what a draft paper on an excavation made in Haryana's Rakhigarhi says: One 4,500-year-old male skeleton is more closely related to the Irula (a south Indian tribal community) than to Indian populations with a higher degree of West Eurasian-related ancestry. The paper also suggests that the area's ancient citizens probably spoke an early Dravidian language. Read India Today magazine's cover story on the Rakhigarhi findings here.
MAGAZINE | 3 strands of ancestry
The Irula, who live in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, speak a Dravidian language that bears the same name as their tribe. They are well-known for their snake-catching skills. Last year, in fact, wildlife officials in the US state of Florida hired two Irula tribesmen to get rid of Burmese pythons, which were wiping out small mammal populations.
ORIGINS OF VEDIC HINDUISM
The findings in Haryana point to another interesting implication. The DNA from Rakhigarhi didn't have a genetic marker (steppeland genes) that's strongly associated with high-caste North Indian populations.
This supports experts' conclusions that date the first Vedas to a period succeeding the collapse of Harappan cities, and associate the beginnings of Vedic Hindu culture with a significant migration of a Eurasian steppeland population into India. Read more here.

NO PURE LINEAGES
Just how much can we read into the link between the Rakhigarhi DNA and the Irula?
As the India Today magazine report says, "any impulse to equate the apparent Dravidian affinities of ancient Indus Valley people with the culture and people of South India today or to cast the latter as the 'original inhabitants' of the subcontinent would be an exaggeration."
"Quite apart from the fact that the people and cultures across the subcontinent today display evidence of having mixed with each other (and populations beyond the borders of present day India) over millennia, there is also no population in the region that can claim to represent a 'pure' lineage of ancient Indians," the report points out. "Not even the Irula or any other South Indian or 'Adivasi' group".

Help Goose Green pupils immerse into curriculum subjects using virtual reality (VR) headsets
Number of students that will benefit: 392 (whole school)
Age of students: 3-11
Percentage eligible for free school meals: 17%
Goose Green Primary is a vibrant and diverse academy in the heart of East Dulwich.
We want the ClassVR package as it is a whole new concept in education technology: a cost-effective Virtual and Augmented Reality system designed exclusively for the classroom. We have been trialling this exciting and engaging technology as #VRChampions and the pupils' response has been overwhelming. VR allows students to experience and travel to far-flung locations around the world, under the sea, and into places they could only dream of visiting, like the surface of the moon! This in turn leads to increased writing opportunities to improve writing attainment, in line with our School Development Plan.
VR is known to improve literacy (increasing vocabulary as children are encouraged to describe what they see), place learning in context, support additional needs and improve retention and engagement across all ages.
For more information, visit the ClassVR website here: http://www.classvr.com/
This is for our whole school, to use across a range of subjects, including literacy, immersive history, science and knowledge of the world.
Why do we want it?
Virtual reality will allow our students to visualise their lessons more clearly and allow them to interact with subject matter in a totally new way. It will enable them to experience places they have never been, which will enrich their learning and open new doors. With total immersion into a subject, children will be inspired to ask questions and explore subjects with deeper understanding and greater enthusiasm.
Ms Seminerio, one of our school leads for VR learning, says: "We have used the trial VR headsets to immerse the children in a new world, allowing them to see and experience things they might not understand or be able to grasp. For example, we may be writing about a desert island; some children may have never been to the beach or even know what sand and the sea look like. By submerging them in a virtual 3D world they can gain vital experiences and exposure to sights, sounds and reality that were previously unavailable and unknown to them. Many of our children do not have life experiences that enable them to gain the vocabulary and lessons in order to learn effectively. The VR headsets allow us as educators to provide children with some of these missing life experiences."
Mr West, our other school lead for VR learning, says: "We have been using the trial VR headsets during our immersion week into our topics. It has helped the children to increase their vocabulary when describing the experience, as they have an actual experience to link to the new vocabulary that they are using."
During a VR trial session, Year 3 pupils watched the below video in 360 degrees as part of their topic comparing animal lives with human lives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPyAQQklc1s
Kaim commented: "I felt upset because such beautiful creatures are being killed by poachers."
His classmate Omari said: "I shivered as I thought the lion was going to bite me."
Simon Wattam, Head Teacher says: "One of the key strands of our School Development Plan is to improve writing outcomes. The VR headsets will provide opportunities for children to explore different contexts, develop new vocabulary and to write about these exciting experiences that they would not otherwise have."

White House Not Apologizing For Releasing 'Merchant Of Death'
(DailyDig.com) – Even though many claim it was a bad bargain, President Biden refused to apologize for releasing Viktor Bout, so-called Merchant of Death, in exchange for Brittney Griner on Thursday, December 8th.
During the briefing on Thursday, Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, justified the trade to reporters by arguing that the only choices were to either obtain Griner's release or none at all. Bout is still a criminal, according to detractors, and was too dangerous to surrender to Russia.
He had arranged the sale of AK-47s, which was known to be used to murder American drug dealers. Jean-Pierre was asked what Biden wants to convey to the American people who ultimately believe that this was a lousy deal. Although she admitted that prisoner swaps that yield rapid benefits can seem unjust or capricious, she eventually justified the Biden's choice.
It was Biden's moral responsibility to bring Brittney back. Jean-Pierre said that he won't apologize for it. She added that they will keep negotiating the release of Paul Whelan, who is a former US Marine. He has spent the last four years in Russian captivity, and his sentence of hard labor still has 12 years to go.
Later, Peter Doocy, a White House journalist for Fox News, urged Jean-Pierre to explain why the arrangement looked to be so skewed in Russia's favor.
According to Jean-Pierre, we had the options of either bring home one American, or none at all.
"They gave up a professional athlete. We gave up a prolific arms dealer who was convicted of trying to kill Americans, who was called the Merchant of Death" Doocy said in response.
Jean-Pierre, again trying to defend the choice, reminded Doocy that Brittney is a citizen of the United States.
Doocy replied that Paul Whelan is also a citizen and asked her if she wanted to keep doing the back and forth all day.
While Doocy challenged Biden on how he could obtain Whelan's release while refusing to speak with the Russian President, Putin, Jean-Pierre assured him that Biden would do everything in his ability to do so.

LOOP-IN is a concept transportation system crafted by combining the surfing and the skate facility. The rider can enjoy the ultimate speed on the wheels and can do some surfing acrobatics at the same time. While the wheels can rotate on almost any type of surface, the plate will rotate in its interior independently. It is like pushing by a wave continuously. Initially, the rider will have to acquire the abilities to dominate the control of these wheels on any kind of lands and at the same time learning to keep balance inside the wheels is a must. Therefore, all range of adventure lovers will like the combination of these two sports activities when riding on LOOP-IN.

that will never be made.. its a concept.. probably just a student project from a sophomore in college.. its not even senior level of industrial design.. quite frankly the layout is sooo cheezy and quicksilver would never even touch a product like that in a million years..
resemblance to mr garrison's IT machine, anyone??
We've already made stuff like this with motorcylces.
So it shouldn't take you to long to make this bad boy..
But i don't think quicksilver will be the ones making it.
dude make this i would so buy it!!!
will this ever be for sale?
They should put some sort of safety harness or similar feature on that. It figuratively and literally doesn't hurt to be safe while zipping around on that. Besides, there seems to be enough room for straps or a harness anyway.


Who's excited for summer? Me! The days are longer and filled with lots of light. I almost feel like a kid again, wanting to play all day and barely wanting to come inside by dinner. I tend to fill, ok, over-fill, my social calendar with activities and get togethers. With staying this busy during the summer, I try and pay extra attention to the additional energy exerted and the increased fuel I need to keep going. That's why I created these paleo cashew vanilla energy bites.
Sometimes I need a quick pick-me-up between activities, or I'm looking for a good pre or post workout snack. Enter the energy bite.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that all bites are not created equal. If you grab a bite that's loaded with processed ingredients and sugars, you'll find your energy crashing after eating, instead of rising. So you always want to look for a healthy snack that includes fat, fiber and protein. This perfect trifecta will ensure that you stay satisfied, full and energized.
I've included all 3 in these paleo energy bites with some simple ingredients and a little extra love from Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Boosters.
Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Boosters are plant-based protein at its finest. They're a great source of protein at 20 grams per serving, with a healthy dose of fiber as well. No only that, but the boosters contain chia seeds and probiotics, and are gluten free, dairy free, soy free and vegan. How's that for a lot of extra bonuses?
I actually have one more bonus for you.
You can try Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Boosters right now with this $3 off coupon!
You can make my energy balls or simply add a scoop to your morning smoothie or juice for an even faster leg up on the day.
So pop these paleo cashew vanilla energy bites before or after a workout, between summer activities or at snack time. They're designed to keep you fueled and energetic all summer long!
Place the cashews and coconut in a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb is reached. Remove 2 heaping tablespoons of the mix and place in a small bowl. Add the dates, vanilla, coconut oil and nutritional booster to the food processor and blend. A thick dough should form. You may need to scrape the sides down a few times to properly mix.
Take a melon scoop or spoon and parcel out dime size balls. Roll between your hands until a compact circle is formed.
After all the balls are created, take each one and roll through the cashew coconut mix until all sides are coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

How a Single Neuron Can Impact the Evolution of Machine Learning
Enterprise AI Minute Ep. 56
By Aaron Back June 14, 2022 Updated: June 28, 2022 1 Min Read
This episode is brought to you by the Cloud Wars Expo. This in-person event will be held from June 28th to 30th at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.
01:49 — Computers are constantly learning and evolving. Advanced AI mimics the human mind in some ways, so its functionality is often described in anatomical terms. Neural networks of computers are closely related to neurons in the brain.
02:23 — This correlation here has led researchers to better understand how brains work at a single neuron level. Researchers have found neurons are not the simple on/off switches they were previously believed to be.
02:59 — Understanding these neurons more fully can aid scientists in battling diseases, such as Parkinson's and other conditions affected by the brain's signals to the body.
03:28 — Data scientists are analyzing deep neural networks and machine learning that functions and learns like neurons learn in the human brain. This could impact the future development of AI transformers.
04:15 — These developments could lead to genuine real-time speech translation, self-healing databases, and synthetically simulated diseases, such as Parkinson's, to better understand potential treatments.

Deluxe Edition of Mac Miller's Circles Album Dropping on Friday
Tony M. Centeno
Dale Berman, Getty Images
The deluxe version of Mac Miller's Circles album will be one to remember.
On Monday (March. 2), Miller's family confirmed via press release the deluxe album will arrive this Friday. The album will feature two brand new songs "Right" and "Floating." Both songs will be available via streaming platforms on March 20 followed by the vinyl version, which drops April 17.
The deluxe album comes weeks after Circles producer Jon Brion revealed that the album is part of a trilogy. Back in January, Brion told The New York Times that both his Swimming and Circles albums were just two projects that make-up the three-part project.
"He (Mac) had this whole aquatic theme that came out of something we'd talked about when he was working on Swimming," Brion said. "I'd noticed he mentioned water a few times in the lyrics, and then that grew into all these discussions about water and what it sounds like that became kind of a running joke."
Circles dropped on Jan. 17 with 12 songs including "Good News." At the time of the album's release, Miller's family made a statement regarding the process of releasing the project.
"This is a complicated process that has no right answer. No clear path. We simply know that it was important to Malcolm for the world to hear it," reads one part of a statement via Miller's Instagram account. "Thank you to all the fans who've supported him unconditionally through the years. We miss him. We are left to imagine where Malcolm was going and to appreciate where he was. We hope you take this time to listen. The look on his face when everyone was listening said it all. With humility and gratitude. Malcolm's family."
Look out for the deluxe of Circles dropping Friday (March 6).

West photos part of Museum of Art's 2014 exhibit
By M. SCOTT MORRIS - Associated Press - Monday, August 25, 2014
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - A skilled photographer can capture stunning, moving images while maintaining a sense of artistic distance behind the camera.
Photography is more about attachment than detachment for Milly West. The Oxford resident connects with people and places, and she gets excited by the results.
"It's so much fun to come home and pop my memory card in the computer and see how they look on a big screen," West, 65, said. "Sometimes, that feeling goes away. Sometimes, it turns your stomach with joy, then a little later, there's a problem over here, and what's that over there? It's not quite right."
Her photos are in collections at the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.; the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans; and the Brooks Gallery in Memphis, among others.
West received the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Award in Photography twice, and she was recently selected as one of 15 artists to be included in Mississippi Museum of Art's 2014 Mississippi Invitational exhibition.
For the Invitational, which will run Nov. 1 to Jan. 25, the judge saw West's submissions then visited her studio, a converted garage in Oxford.
"She chose five photographs for the exhibit," West said. "I'm so excited."
West isn't exactly sure where her passion for photography originated, but she has a working theory.
One clue comes from a snapshot of her mother, who's holding a fishing pole in one hand and an old Brownie box camera in the other.
"I remember her teaching me how to put the film in and how to take pictures," West said.
She did some photography in journalism classes at the University of Mississippi, but her work remained in the snapshot realm for years as she raised children.
A casual event that looms large occurred in 1982, when a neighbor wanted to attend Delta State University. West agreed to show her around the campus and the Delta.
"We went through Clarksdale just because I was showing her around, and I said, 'How do you feel about stopping, taking some pictures and walking around?'" West said. "She was fine with it."
West was captivated by the flowers in the yards, the kids playing ball and the women in their colorful clothes.
"A few weeks later, I drove back, and I found something truly exciting around every corner," she said. "It was very poor but incredibly full of life. I couldn't stop. I was so enthusiastic. I would talk to people. They would relate to me, and I would relate to them. They were very welcoming. When I went back the next time, they were so happy to see me because I brought back pictures."
West attached herself to the Delta, a place she and her camera still visit.
"I think a lot of my work is image-driven, and part of what I love about Clarksdale and the Delta in general is the color of the clothes and the color of the houses against the sometimes drab backdrop, the old buildings, the gravel or whatever it is," she said. "You never know when somebody's going to walk down the street in green pants."
Mississippi history also draws her. An image she took in the 1980s has become part of permanent collections.
In Clarksdale, she walked into a drug store that belonged to Aaron Henry. She saw three larger-than-life posters on the wall of James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while trying to register blacks to vote.
"Aaron Henry said, 'I keep the pictures there to help the kids remember. I don't want them to be forgotten,'" she said.
Over the course of five or six years, West took multiple images of those posters in the store. One of her shots is part of the Icons of Freedom exhibit at the Mississippi Museum of Art.
West regularly turns her lens on her town.
"I have so many thousands of photographs documenting Oxford history, and also documenting Oxford's people and iconic places," she said.
Southside Gallery, which she opened in 1993 with her husband at the time, put her in touch with artists and art lovers, and it also helped open a whole new country for exploration.
Artist Bill Dunlap walked in one day, and West told him what was on her mind.
"I said, 'Bill, I really want to go to Cuba,'" she said.
He gave her the name of a gallery owner who was scheduling a trip. That was 18 years and more than 30 trips to Cuba ago.
"It was just a spark of an idea because it was mysterious and nobody went there," she said. "Somehow it happened."
During her visits to Cuba, her childhood fantasies were replaced with concrete images. She's made friends with everyday people, whose embrace of color reminds her of the Delta. She's also filled her home with sculptures and paintings by Cuban artists.
She's retired now and thinking about getting ready for the Mississippi Museum of Art Show in Jackson.
Before that, she has to prepare for a show at Greg Thompson Fine Arts in Little Rock, Arkansas, that opens Sept. 25.
Further along the horizon, she and David Ray Morris, the son of Willie Morris, will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the day they spent taking photographs in Clarksdale. That exhibit will be January in Clarksdale.
Her zeal for the work and her subjects has contributed to her success.
"Really, I get excited looking through old photos, finding something and going, 'Hey, I remember that,'" she said. "It reminds you of what you loved about them. Not all of them, of course - there are some duds - but, yeah, it just comes back to you. It's fun."
