The 2006 RAC Winter Contest ran from 0000 UTC to 2359 UTC December 30, 2006. I headed out to the parking lot at the south end of the Champlain Bridge and "played radio" for several hours. Most of the time I was there, I was fiddling with my new digital mode interface that allows me to operate RTTY, BPSK and a slew of other digital modes. Once the battery on my laptop died, I switched to voice and worked 12 stations in just over an hour using my special event callsign, CG3XGD. These twelve QSOs gave me 500 points for my entry in the single-op, all bands, low power (< =100 W) category. This is the first time I've entered a contest and I have to admit it was a lot of fun. I heard more Canadian stations in the 70 minutes or so I was contesting than I have since starting on HF after getting back into the hobby last summer.
If you're particularly bored, you might want to check out SMSpeeping.com. I came across it while looking at the widgets you can add to a customized Google page. Basically, people sending SMS messages using programs, rather than an actual cell phone, can have their messages available to the world. The website says that the messages are posted on the site with the permission of the senders, but I wonder how many people really know that the programs are doing this.
Merry Christmas everybody! May you have a safe and happy Christmas where ever you may be!
On behalf of Canadians everywhere, I would like to apologize for this atrocity.
What kind of American do you sound like?
So, Ottawa remains the only city of the five largest cities in Canada that doesn't have some form of rail transit. To meet the short-term transit demands, more buses are going to have to be pressed into service on roads that are already at, near or even over capacity. More buses means more road congestion which means more vehicles idling, resulting in more greenhouse gas emissions. More vehicles on the road means more wear-and-tear on the roads, so expect more cracks and potholes.
And you cannot convince me that this wasn't very orchestrated quite some time in advance by our mayor and his cronies. This outcome is great because Larry can blame two other levels of government for the failure of the LRT plan, which he opposed in the first place, even though the whole situation was brought on when he asked his friend, John Baird, to usurp the prerogative of the then City Council and put every thing on hold under after he was elected mayor. When the plan was modified a couple of weeks ago, he did a 180 degree turn and supported the modified plan by breaking a tied vote. Subsequently, both the Province of Ontario and the federal government expressed concerns about the modified plan and indicated they wouldn't be able to assess the modifications by a critical deadline in the contract. The Province of Ontario sent a letter today confirming that the funding would be provided if the original plan were approved and presumably the federal government would honour its committment similarly.
i. No increase in taxation.
I've highlighted a couple of items that caught my eye and confirmed my fears about having Larry O'Brien as mayor. Basically, it seems like we can expect reductions in services and disproportionate increases to user fees. And, we're going to take on (more) debt.
I've currently got three items for sale in my CafePress store: an oval bumper sticker, a rectangular bumper sticker and a license plate holder, all with a first-to-find (FTF) geocaching theme and the recognizable four colours. I've noticed that the oval stickers seem to be quite popular as three of them have been bought so far and one person has bought a license plate holder.
I'm in the process of designing a coffee mug in the same theme and may add some other custom products, too.
CafePress is a very cool service where you can design custom stuff (t-shirts, stickers, mugs, etc) and make them available for people to buy. You set the price and anything above the base cost of the item is pure profit for you. CafePress handles all the billing, shipping and production, meaning you don't have to pay any setup fees.

NFL free agency 2018: Who received the franchise tag, and what are the tags worth?
Written By Kenan Goyette
(Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sporting_news/3c/27/leveon-bell-demarcus-lawrence-getty-images_1ldrqnnz7uj021x0dd0xoymg0t.png?t=-39840071&w=500&quality=80
NFL teams placed the franchise tag Tuesday on five potential unrestricted free agents, the fewest since 2006. Additionally, one player received the transition tag, the first time in three years that designation was used.
Franchise-tagged players can now sign a one-year tender at a predetermined salary (either the average of the five highest salaries at the player's position or 120 percent of the player's cap number from the previous season, whichever is greater), or sit out certain organized team functions and hold out for a long-term contract. Players have until July 16 to work out long-term deals; after that, they either have to play under the tag or continue to hold out.

Who received the franchise tag?
As mentioned, five players received the franchise tag. One of them, Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, was tagged as an exclusive franchise player, meaning he can only negotiate with Pittsburgh. The other four received what is known as a non-exclusive tag and can negotiate with other teams. If a non-exclusive player receives an offer sheet from another team, the tagging team can match the offer or let the player go and receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.

Below are the NFL players who received the franchise or transition tag in 2018:
Ezekiel Ansah, DE, Lions
Tagging Ansah made sense for Detroit; the pass rusher has been a steady force along the defensive line and has 44 sacks in five NFL seasons. Ansah bounced back in 2017 with 12 sacks after being hampered by injury in 2016.
Le'Veon Bell, RB, Steelers
Bell received the franchise tag for a second consecutive year, so his $14.54 million tender is based on his 2017 cap figure of $12.12 million. He has expressed displeasure with being tagged and has threatened to hold out or retire.
Kyle Fuller CB, Bears (transition)
The Bears made a deadline decision to tag their top cornerback. The team declined Fuller's fifth-year option last offseason, and he responded with a career year in 2017. Fuller will receive a $12.97 million tender under the transition tag (the average of the top 10 salaries at the position) and can negotiate with other teams. Chicago can match other teams' offer sheets, but it will receive no compensation if it declines to match.
Lamarcus Joyner, S, Rams
The Rams waited until a few hours before the deadline to officially tag Joyner. They were debating whether to use the tag on Joyner or wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who will now become a free agent.
Jarvis Landry WR, Dolphins
Miami tagged Landry on the first day they were able to do so. Landry has already informed the team he will sign the tender, but the Dolphins have allowed him to speak to other teams to facilitate a possible trade.
Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Cowboys
The Cowboys have been searching for a dominant pass rusher for years and appear to have found one in Lawrence, who posted 14.5 sacks in 2017. Dallas intends to work out a long-term contract with him.
Franchise tag values
The NFL announced Monday, March 5, that the salary cap for the 2018 season will be $177.2 million, about $10 million more than the $168 million cap in 2017. The salary cap increase also means an increase in the value of franchise tags. The new values, by position:
Quarterback $23,189,000
Running back $11,866,000
Wide receiver $15,982,000
Tight end $9,846,000
Offensive line $14,077,000
Defensive end $17,143,000
Defensive tackle $13,939,000
Linebacker $14,961,000
Cornerback $14,975,000
Safety $11,287,000
Kicker/punter $4,939,000
Texans 1h ago
Saints 1h ago

East Coast vs. West Coast Porchetta
By Adam Roberts / January 13, 2014 July 22, 2020
On a cold December day in New York, I took the 6 train down from the Upper East Side to the Astor Place stop with porchetta on my mind. No, not Sara Jenkins' glorious Porchetta sandwich served at her sandwich spot so devoted to porchetta it's called, well, Porchetta. This time I was headed to Il Buco Alimentari e Vineria to try a porchetta sandwich that made a bit of a splash when it first appeared a year or two ago. Now the New York food media has moved on, as it tends to do, and that sandwich continues to be served with slightly less fanfare. I knew I had to give it a try before it disappeared entirely.
The sandwich is such an event, you should ignore all efforts to sell you appetizers and drinks to go along with it. I ate my sandwich at the bar and when it arrived, I'm pretty sure the restaurant shook as it was placed before me:
The most striking thing about this porchetta sandwich isn't the porchetta, actually. It's the bread. As you unhinge your jaw to take the first bite, you'll be stunned at the textural experience that follows: the bread shatters beneath your teeth. The bread is a struggle, but also a delight. Now I know how Godzilla must feel when he chomps into a glass skyscraper.
As for the porchetta itself–and I should explain here, for those who don't know, that porchetta is roasted pork heavily flavored with herbs and spices (most notably fennel pollen) until tender on the inside and crispy on the outside; I made it once–it hit all the marks you expect from excellent porchetta: tender, moist, and heavily perfumed. After recovering from the bread, I found myself smacking my lips in delight. But that bread, man*. That bread's an issue.
(* Note: I don't normally say "man." I'm giving it a go here.)
That's the scene at Il Buco as I left, to give you a sense of the place. A few weeks later, I'd be in a very different environment–Gjelina in Venice Beach–when I encountered my first west coast version of the mythological porchetta sandwich. Here I am in my new sunglasses (note: I don't normally include pictures of myself in posts like these, but I wanted you to see the restaurant and this is the only picture that shows that. Ok?)
This picture, like the last picture, was taken in December (December 31st, to be exact). As you can see, I am sitting outside and not wearing a jacket. These factors don't enter into the porchetta discussion, but perhaps they played a silent role in the verdict I'm about to render.
First, though, thumbelina carrots. Gjelina is famous for them (roasted, infused with orange juice). They are wonderful:
And look, a salad with arugula (unwieldy, rugged-from-the-farm arugula with lots of character) and trout:
And, finally, the porchetta sandwich we're here to discuss:
Here's a porchetta sandwich that's all about decadence in balance. The bread is every bit as good as the bread at Il Buco, only it makes way more sense for this sandwich. For starters: you can fit it into your mouth. The meat hits all the marks–tender, moist, herbacious–though it's not as plentiful as the meat at Il Buco (notice the thicker slices in the earlier picture). But the zippy slaw and housemade aoili take the Gjelina porchetta sandwich over the top. For me, it's the clear winner.
Let's not bring Sara Jenkins' Porchetta into this fight. That sandwich is an institution outside the scope of scrutiny. But in the battle of East Coast vs. West Coast porchetta sandwiches that I ate in December, Gjelina takes the prize. Well done, California.

Zen Health Reform
If a finance committee chair introduces a bill and no one votes for it, does it exist?
By Timothy Noah
Sept 16, 20097:22 PM
Click here for a guide to following the health care reform story online.
Max Baucus
The good news is that Sen. Max Baucus has finally produced a bipartisan health reform bill. The bad news is that it's bipartisan only in the sense that both Democrats and Republicans on the finance committee are threatening not to support it.
Even my e-mail program hates this bill. When the finance committee e-mailed a press release this morning summarizing the chairman's mark and linking to its text, my copy landed in my junk e-mail folder, along with press releases from Oxfam America and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. That never happened when I got press releases from the Senate health committee, even when it was clogging my inbox with hourly pool reports about Sen. Ted Kennedy's funeral cortege.
Appearing in the finance committee hearing room for a press conference this afternoon, Baucus wore a gray pinstripe suit, a blue-and-white-dotted tie, and a frozen smile. "This is our moment in history," he said. A thought cloud instantly formed above the gathered reporters. Our? Baucus was the only senator present. Baucus said there will be Republican support for his bill, and "there's no doubt in my mind" that his fellow Democrats will support the bill, too. "We've met over 100 hours and there are no real policy deal-breakers," he said.
In fact, there are several. In a Sept. 16 press release, ranking finance committee member Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, mentioned "costs to taxpayers" (even though the Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would reduce the deficit by $49 billion over the next decade), "affordability for individuals" (Grassley wants to remove the "individual mandate" requiring everybody to buy health insurance), "preventing taxpayer funding of abortion services" (even though the bill leaves unaltered a current ban on federally funded abortions), and "enforcement against subsidies for illegal aliens" (even though the bill doesn't extend subsidies to illegal aliens). Talking today with Iowa reporters, Grassley alternated gripes about the Democrats' rushed timeline for a bill with equivocations over whether he would support it.
Then there's Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who was cut out of the bill-writing process even though he chairs finance's health subcommittee. "There is no way in its present form I can vote for it," Rockefeller said yesterday in a conference call. For Rockefeller, the deal-breakers are the absence of a "public option" government insurance program, the bill's stinginess in subsidizing the mandatory purchase of health insurance, and certain changes in Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance program. According to the New Republic's Jonathan Cohn, who was on the call, Rockefeller suggested that four to six Democrats on the finance committee had similar feelings. If Rockefeller and even one other Democrat (say, Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who's also on record voicing serious objections to the bill's stinginess with premium subsidies) voted against the bill, that would be enough to sink it (assuming a party-line vote). If Baucus persuaded swing-voter Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, to support the bill, defections by Rockefeller and two other Democrats would doom it.
Snowe, in a statement, pledged to continue to work toward "a bill that I, and hopefully other Republican members of the Finance committee, can support." Her deal-breakers are "ultimate affordability to both consumers and the government" (in her moderate way, Snowe worries simultaneously that the bill spends too little and too much), as well as "ensuring appropriate competition in the health insurance exchange" (but don't misconstrue this as support for a public option, which she doesn't, except in the useless form of a "trigger").
Stinginess is the bill's biggest obstacle to passage. To win support, Baucus will have to make the Congressional Budget Office love his bill a little less. This is the first time I can remember when the CBO estimate of a bill's cost was actually lower than the bill sponsor's: Baucus put the bill's 10-year cost at $856 billion, while CBO put it at $774 billion. The discrepancy, which involves how to score changes to the Medicare and Medicaid programs, is too boring to go into. Both Baucus and the CBO agree that the bill's revenue provisions will more than cover its costs over 10 years.
It won't surprise regular readers of this column to learn that the absence of a public option in the bill (Baucus creates health cooperatives instead) strikes me as a serious problem. But it probably won't pose a serious obstacle to committee passage. Another aspect of Baucus' bill likely to trouble committee members more is that it structures an employer tax in such a way as to discourage the hiring of low-income people. (The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal nonprofit with a sterling reputation for number-crunching, explains this here.)
The idiocy of creating a special type of private health-insurance plan just for the under-25 set does not, at the moment, endanger the bill's chances in committee, but should I manage to get people stirred up (see "Suffer the Little Children"), this provision will be easy to jettison. Maybe it was my imagination, but when I asked finance committee aides at a background briefing today for the rationale behind this option, they seemed slightly embarrassed by the lameness of their own explanation, and made sure to mention that it was a priority for Baucus. "You want to make sure they can afford the coverage," one person explained. But isn't that what the premium subsidies are for? Also, it's an "inducement" for young people to get health insurance. But isn't the individual mandate's financial penalty to those who don't purchase it inducement enough?
Is there anything one can say in favor of Baucus' bill? Ezra Klein, the Washington Post's indefatigable health care and economics blogger, found one thing. A problem with the other health reform bills concerns the "health exchanges"—the government-created health insurance marketplace for both private insurers and a public-option government insurer in the other bills, and for private insurers only in Baucus'. To be eligible to buy a policy in the exchanges, you have to work for an employer who doesn't provide health insurance. The other bills limit participation to employees of small businesses, defined as those with no more than 20 (in the House bill) or 50 (the Senate health committee bill) employees. Baucus' bill will initially open the exchanges up to businesses employing up to 100 people. Over time, it will open them up to all businesses, regardless of their size. That's a significant improvement.


If you want to elevate your cooking skills to a new level and add a whole lot more to your gastronomy repertoire, learn how to make a simple pan sauce. With this technique in your cooking bag of tricks, you can turn a simple pan-fried steak into a mouth-watering meal, a plain boneless chicken breast into a delicious feast, or a modest pork chop into a scrumptious banquet. Ok, maybe I'm stretching a bit but check this out.
The "stuff" has a name, it's called "fond" and you want that "fond" stuck to your pan because it is packed with incredible flavors. It's also easy to remove by adding a little liquid to the pan and using a wooden spoon to dissolve it. This is called deglazing and can be done with wine, brandy, fortified wines, stock, cider, fruit juices or most typically a combination of two. Just be careful if you use wine to remove the pan from the heat so the alcohol doesn't ignite and blow up in your face. I've spoken with chefs who have seen this happen.
The next steps are to continue to cook the liquid in the pan until it is reduced by half and finish by adding several pats of butter to thicken and enhance the flavor of the sauce. If you ever knew how much butter professional chefs use in restaurants to "enhance" flavor, you would be amazed. I sometimes think they make their dishes too rich because I get that uncomfortable "too full" feeling later on, but then again, it's so good while you're dining. Now those are just the basics.
To create more complexity to the sauce you'll want to add some aromatics like garlic or shallots for a subtle but additional layer of flavor. Then you might want to add some additional ingredients such as mushrooms, mustards, chutneys, herbs and/or spices to give even more complexity and flavor.

Keiynan Lonsdale Will Not Return To The Arrowverse As A Series Regular Next Year
Share	Tweet	Save	Share	+1
***UPDATE***
Keiynan Lonsdale took to Twitter to address his exit, and it seems like it was his choice to leave. The tweet is below.
Love you all ⚡❤ – Keiy x pic.twitter.com/JBdxUaKocA
— Keiynan Lonsdale 🌈 (@KeiynanLonsdale) June 6, 2018
***The original article is as follows:
Keiynan Lonsdale's journey in the Arrowverse has been a strange one. He joined The Flash as Wally West, and after he became a speedster in his own right, he was ultimately squandered. So after that he was shifted to Legends of Tomorrow, where he was a much better fit.
But now Deadline is reporting that he will not be a series regular in Legends of Tomorrow either. It is not because he is shifting to Arrow or Supergirl either, Lonsdale is leaving all together.
As Deadline points out, that doesn't mean he will be gone forever. He is slated to appear in the season 5 premiere of The Flash where I assume they will write out his exit. After that, Lonsdale could always return as a guest star in any of the shows, if all parties agree. The CW confirmed to CinemaBlend that he will not be killed off, so fans of Wally West can rest easy knowing that the door is always open for his return.
No reason was given about why this decision was made. There could be a few reasons though. It could have been Lonsdale's choice – to give him time to focus on his burgeoning music career. The other could be story purposes. Both The Flash and Legends have their arcs for the next season figured out. If Wally doesn't fit into either of them, its better that he makes an exit than to let him sit there and be useless.
Either way, I hope that the relationship between Lonsdale and the Arrowverse executives is not hurt by this. Lonsdale has been shuffled around a lot, with little story impact. Wally West is a very important character in the DC Universe, and the way he has been handled in the Arrowverse is unfortunate. So if he just pops in every now and then, I hope he is used to the best of his ability. A full-fledged speedster on Legends makes the team a bit too powerful, and the job a little too easy for them. He really can't be on The Flash or it diminishes Barry's role as well. He served his purpose, and now he is collateral damage of this huge universe.
What do you think of this news? Are you sad to see Lonsdale leave? What would you want to see him do in the future?

The Handmaid's Tale: Progress
by Billie Doux
"I've heard they're hard to find."
A few good men. Three, actually.
Seriously, Luke is, like, the best husband ever. Starting where they left off in the previous episode, June told Luke what happened with Hannah in the Red Center prison. This scene was beautifully shot with full-on close-ups, as if we were June, and then we were Luke, an effective way of visually demonstrating that we could easily see both perspectives.
Then Luke showed June all he'd been doing to track Hannah in Gilead, and he's been leaving no proverbial stone unturned. Luke has to know that June has strong feelings for Nick, since he's far from stupid and June hasn't hidden it. So I was monumentally impressed that Luke, who still loves June, then suggested that June approach Nick for information. Yes, I will risk losing you to your baby daddy to get intel on Hannah, and I won't burden you with jealousy or pettiness when you're dealing with so much other crap. What a guy.
Good man number two is Joseph Lawrence. He still believes in the principles of the horrible nation he helped to create, but I can't believe he thinks Hannah is better off in Gilead with adopted parents that won't teach her to read. (Domestic arts only? Good God.)
It was unspoken but obvious that Lawrence's phone was tapped and he was saying what he had to say, so we could only tell what Lawrence felt from his facial expressions. Lawrence knew perfectly well that June would never trade Angels' Flight kids for Hannah; what an incredibly painful thing for him to say to her. At one point, I could swear he was crying.
Good man number three: Nick Blaine.
Much like Luke, Nick came off exceptionally well in this episode. He regrets what came before, and wishes he had run away with June when he had the chance. He had already thoroughly researched Hannah without being asked because he knew June would have wanted him to do it. June, Nick and Nichole seated at the window had an almost preternatural glow – a happy couple with their baby, the perfect little Gilead family dressed appropriately in commander black, handmaid red, and little girl pink. It looked like they'd been together forever instead of never. A pretty illusion.
June didn't talk about her feelings for Nick, but again, her facial expressions made it obvious. She started smiling the moment she got into the car on her way to him, and she couldn't hide her joy at seeing him again. That red coat she wore was a visual cue that emotionally, she was back at the Waterford house with Nick. (You'd think June would never wear red again.) She also kept pushing her hair behind her ear, making her red tag visible. Considering how she literally ripped it out of her ear once before, you'd think she'd have had it removed by now. Maybe she decided to keep it as a constant reminder.
I kept expecting June to hand Nichole to Nick so that he could hold his daughter in his arms, and it never happened. Is Nick keeping his distance to lessen the pain of separation? When June drove off, Nick pointedly put his wedding ring back on. Of course he married again; he's a Commander in Gilead, they would all be married to set an example. Does he have his own handmaid, too?
When June came home with all those new photos of Hannah, it was Moira who comforted Luke as he cried. Not June. What is the state of this marriage if Luke is closer to Moira now?
Meanwhile in their beautiful underground prison, the Waterfords have FINALLY gotten the memo. The Putnams came to see the Waterfords... and let me pause to ask why it is now easy for a Gilead Commander and his wife to just fly into Canada for a visit after it was so incredibly hard for Moira to get June out of Chicago?
In between baby gifts like that absurd little commander outfit, Naomi's true reason for coming was revealed when she selflessly offered to adopt and raise Serena's baby. At the same time, Fred realized that Gilead wasn't even bothering to negotiate for his freedom. I thought it was hilarious when Warren said, "We will continue to send you our thoughts and prayers," an obvious jab at how the right wing in the U.S. deals with critical issues by doing nothing.
So the shoe is finally on the other foot. The Waterfords, once a prominent Gilead power couple, have been discarded. If Serena returns to Gilead, they will take her baby and make her a handmaid. Fred and Serena are evil and grasping, but not stupid. Mark Tuello used June's testimony to scare Fred into turning on Gilead, and it worked. No prosecution for multiple rapes, kidnapping, and whatever deaths he might have been responsible for as a Commander – and there had to be plenty.
The episode ended with June completely losing her shit and threatening to kill Mark Tuello. Except she should have been threatening to kill Fred Waterford. Next week's season finale should be very interesting.
Finally, let's check in with the Red Center, where Esther Keyes, looking like the abused, angry child she actually is, went on a hunger strike. Fortunately, Janine used her influence with Aunt Lydia to save Esther from mutilation, as well as from that dank basement prison. (There was much subtext during that conversation, since it was Aunt Lydia who had Janine mutilated way back when.)
We all know this won't end well. There are no good options ahead for either Janine or Esther. A posting, a breeding farm, the colonies, mutilation, hanging, how to choose? Janine has rebounded, but she was recently suicidal. And how long can the littlest handmaid possibly keep her violent, flaming temper under control?
I absolutely loved the Last Supper Aunts, with Lydia in the center as Jesus. What were they suggesting? That Aunt Lydia will soon be sacrificed?
Bits:
Fred is now fine with Serena reading, and even suggested she write another book. A little foreshadowing of him turning. Although I kept thinking that it won't bring back Serena's lost finger.
The Aunts discussed another posting for Janine, saying that it was unlikely anyone would want her now.
Is it me, or does it seem like all that handmaids in training do now is scrub floors?
The building where June and Nichole met Nick was an abandoned Catholic school called the Maria-Magdalena Society, featuring old photos of girls in uniforms. Like little girl handmaids. Like Esther.
Hannah is currently living in the Westward Territory, in Colorado Springs.
This was the third episode Elisabeth Moss directed this season. Impressive.
Moira: (to June) "You have power. Use it."
June: "No one will love her like we do."
Lawrence: "Your love fucks people up. You're a fountain of heartache and trouble."
Well, yes. But is that June's fault? I don't think so.
Lawrence: "Wow. You've gone soft in Toronto. Must be all that maple syrup."
June: "So how's it all going down there in Gilead?"
Nick: "Hanging in there."
June: "Poor choice of words."
This season has been character-driven with terrific, unexpected twists and turns. I have no idea what's coming, but I bet the season finale will be brutal.

"and let me pause to ask why it is now easy for a Gilead Commander and his wife to just fly into Canada for a visit"
"Diplomatic Immunity" would probably be the hand wave for this one.
What floored me about Putnam's talk with Fred was how politically stupid Putnam was for provoking Fred with "thoughts & prayers". How could someone who was savvy enough a political animal to rise to the top of Gilead, practically hand Fred over to Mark Tuello & Canada? Unless there's a long game here that I'm missing, that was stupid.
I was not as sure about Lawrence during that phone call and took it at face value. Thx for pointing out that the call was maybe tapped. I still don't know if L wants Gilead to fall or if he just wants a "kinder and gentler" Gilead. Hope you are right about him. He could be a powerful ally.

milostanfield, I suspect that Putnam has some conflicting feelings himself, what with the hand thing and all.

Considering how she literally ripped it out of her ear once before, you'd think she'd have had it removed by now. Maybe she decided to keep it as a constant reminder.
I wondered about that too.

Detecting blood alcohol content with an electronic skin patch
(Nanowerk News) Overconsumption of alcohol can lead to errors in judgment, causing, for example, some people to get behind the wheel when they are impaired. To help imbibers easily and quickly know when they've had enough, scientists have developed a flexible, wearable patch that can detect a person's blood-alcohol level from his or her sweat. The monitor, reported in the journal ACS Sensors ("Noninvasive Alcohol Monitoring Using a Wearable Tattoo-Based Iontophoretic-Biosensing System"), works quickly and can send results wirelessly to a smartphone or other device.

In the U.S., one person dies every 53 minutes in an alcohol-related car accident, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Currently, ignition interlock devices are being marketed as a way to prevent drunk drivers from starting a car engine. But these are based on breath analysis, which can be affected by a number of factors including humidity, temperature and whether someone has used mouthwash. Recent research has demonstrated that sweat can be a more reliable real-time indicator of blood alcohol content.
At least two transdermal sensors have been developed to measure alcohol levels in sweat, but users have to wait up to 2 hours for results. Joseph Wang, Patrick Mercier and colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, set out to make a more practical version.
With temporary-tattoo paper, the researchers developed a patch that tests blood alcohol content non-invasively in three rapid steps. It induces sweat by delivering a small amount of the drug pilocarpine across the skin. An enzymatic reaction leads to the electrochemical detection of the alcohol content. And a flexible electronic circuit board transmits the data via a Bluetooth connection to a mobile device or laptop. The steps take less than 8 minutes from start to finish. In addition to connecting to vehicles' ignition interlock systems, the sensor could be a simple tool for bartenders, friends or law enforcement to use, the researchers say.

Calls to protect Montreal's last significant, intact wetlands intensify
Environmental groups — especially those that care for birds — say now is the time to create a national wildlife refuge near Trudeau airport.

Federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson is evaluating a proposal by a coalition of Montreal-area environmental groups that would see more than 140 hectares of wilderness north of Trudeau airport preserved as a national wildlife refuge.
For years, ornithologists and conservationists have been calling for protection of those federally owned lands, as well as about 56 adjacent hectares of forests, meadows and wetlands that belong to the city of Montreal and to three private developers in and around the Technoparc in the St-Laurent borough.
Calls to protect Montreal's last significant, intact wetlands intensify Back to video
But a line in the Liberal government's Throne Speech, along with recent interest shown by several federal ministers and municipal politicians, has created a new buzz of optimism around the viability of the project.
"This pandemic has reminded Canadians of the importance of nature," Governor General Julie Payette said in the Throne Speech. "The government will work with municipalities as part of a new commitment to expand urban parks, so that everyone has access to green space."
Sylvia Oljemark, a longtime member of the Green Coalition, an umbrella group of more than 60 Montreal-area organizations, says there is no better way to fulfil that commitment in Quebec than by protecting the last significant, intact wetlands on Montreal Island.
"I think the chances are pretty good," that the federal government and maybe even the city of Montreal will take action, Oljemark said. "I think all the people clamouring for this might just turn the tide."
The area is known as the best birdwatching site on the island with more than 190 different species of birds spotted in the 2020 season alone. The forests, meadows, streams and marshes provide habitat for an impressively diverse array of fauna, including several at-risk bird species, such as the eastern wood-peewee and a tiny heron called the least bittern. Hundreds of migrating monarch butterflies rest in a meadow on the site each autumn.
The Green Coalition has been fighting the city of Montreal in court to try to stop development in the wetlands since 2016, but roadwork and a dike have already caused several marshes to dry up, leading to a marked decline in the bird population.
The Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) has 52 years left on its long-term lease with Transport Canada on 272 hectares of land, including the airport. The ADM in turn leases 101 hectares to the city of Dorval for its municipal golf course. To the east of the golf course is another 43 hectares of undeveloped ADM lands. Responding to calls for conservation, the ADM announced in the summer of 2019 its intention to create a 19-hectare "ecological park" on that land, but little has been done since that announcement.
Conservation groups say 19 hectares is a start, but without the rest of the ADM lands and the adjacent Technoparc lands, the ecosystems would be too fragmented to be successful.If the conservationists have their way, the national wildlife refuge would include the golf course lands (golfing could continue), the adjacent ADM lands as well as the remaining undeveloped sectors of the Technoparc de Montréal. Taken together, these lands would form a wildlife refuge of almost 200 contiguous hectares, about the size of Mount Royal Park.
When the city administration closed the non-profit organization that ran the Technoparc in 2019, any lots not already sold to developers reverted back to the city, so conservationists argue the city could act immediately to protect them. Eleven of the 28 remaining undeveloped lots are owned by three private developers: Morguard, Broccolini and Canderel. The groups would like to see the city buy back that land, offer those developers a land swap, or appeal to the developers to donate the lands for conservation.

Saint-Laurent borough Mayor Alan DeSousa has been a driving force behind the development of the Technoparc for decades, and likes to describe it as a balance between conservation and economic development. While DeSousa says he is keen for more of the federally controlled lands to be protected, he has dismissed the idea of the city preserving all remaining natural lands on the site.
"You're not talking to someone who doesn't want to protect green space," said DeSousa, a member of opposition Ensemble Montreal, "but I am the mayor of Saint-Laurent and I know my limits. It's easy for someone who is not (an elected official) to say, 'I want everything.' My grandson wants everything. I have to go for what is possible."
But support for conservation of the Technoparc lands has been building over the last four years. An online petition calling for a halt to construction in the Eco-Campus Hubert-Reeves sector of the Technoparc got more than 98,000 supporters in 2018. And last month, former provincial environment minister Clifford Lincoln added his support to the national wildlife reserve project in an open letter to the federal government, signed by former Green Party leader Elizabeth May and two dozen local mayors, city councillors and environmental leaders.
Joel Coutu, a longtime birder and member of TechnoparcOiseaux, has been leading groups of birdwatchers through the area for years. Coutu has given tours or presentations to: Transport Minister Marc Garneau, Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault, local MP Emmanuella Lambropoulos, and most recently Robert Beaudry, executive committee member of the city of Montreal responsible for large parks.
A spokesperson for Beaudry said the city is open to the idea of more conservation.
"We are still in discussions with our partners on this site," said Geneviève Jutras. "We are open to keeping a preservation zone and we favour the biodiversity of the site, and it must be done in concert with the economic development of this sector."
And Moira Kelly, press secretary to federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, sent this statement when asked for a response to the national wildlife refuge proposal:
"Our government is committed to conserving, restoring, and protecting Canada's biodiversity, wildlife and habitat. Expanding the world's conserved and protected areas is critical not just for stopping the loss of nature and biodiversity but also to fighting climate change. … We have received the Green Coalition's letter and are currently evaluating the request."
Conservationists are crossing their fingers that these signals may yet spell hope for the birds, as well as for Montrealers who value their few remaining green spaces.

...You assign a procedural noise to the roughness channel of a material; following along I added "Dirt 3" and immediately decided I didn't like that and wanted to change it. The only way I could see to do that was to hit the X and start that step over. Is that really the only option?
You can just click the button again (the texture) and the mini shelf will appear where you can choose a new texture. You don't have to hit the x button to clear and start over.
Where can I find the project files? I've searched for them but it just keeps taking me to forums an the videos. Thanks for the help.
First off, cheers for the vids, awesome work. Easy to follow, with good explanations for all the complex stuff.
I have a bit of an idiot question.
How do i separate the meshes for baking inside of Maya, i.e you have the Crate_top_connectors_low, and one for the handles etc.
How are you doing this in Maya? Are they layers or have you created a new object by separating them or is it just a renaming of a part of the mesh you have selected. Can you give me an explanation for exactly how you are doing this and assume my IQ is 9.
Thanks very much! So glad you liked the video.
In Maya I am just using new polygon mesh objects. You can also select faces and then use Extract to extract the faces to a new polygon mesh object. This is the same as when you create a cube and then draw another primitive. These meshes are separate objects. I am not using layers to do this. You can then take the mesh objects and place them into layers for organization, but the layers are separate from mesh objects.
Hello! I love your stuff! However, I have no prior experience even though I'm an above average learner. Still, I had to get to video 17 before I got to exporting. Which basically means I get to see how my endeavors have panned out after only 9 hours of learning subtle details. It would be nice if you had some beginner videos that were actually beginner. I know most people doing this stuff has been knee deep for years, but I didn't even know there was such a thing as PBR in Unity until a couple days ago, so I bought your stuff and started learning and realized this is an environment with old timers in it! (Even though it's probably only a few years old!) Anyhow, any chance we could get some barbaric videos chronicling the idea behind how even the most basic stuff works? For instance, show a component used in Unity from Maya/Blender going all the way to use in an application. That way the workflow is described entirely. Any additional details would be considered extras. Just a thought. I was still able to learn them. But I still don't know how to import my blender objects into Unity with the materials.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I greatly appreciate it : ) It's very helpful. I am working on a new course for Painter that will launch this summer. Before that, I will have a new video that is 5-10 that is like a quickstart to texture in Painter. It will cover all of the workflow with the complete new user as the focus. Your comments are very helpful for the design of the videos.
I am new to learn Substance Painter and now I am studying with this decent tutorials.
But suddenly I realized that I need materials for practice with tutorials.
I tried to download project files on this post, but there's no mesh files for the tutorial of "Substance Painter Tutorial – Fundamentals 02: Importing meshes" or I cannot find very well?
Is there any way that I can download tutorial assets at least I can follow such as "scifi_container_UVChange_low.fbx"
Oh I read all comments and found it by myself!
Hope these are all I need!
I'm having trouble with baking textures.
Left one is my low poly model's wireframe and the right one is my high poly model's.
I made a model with Maya and I did Mesh>Smooth (2 Division levels) to low poly to create high poly.
When I try to bake textures with both models by following these tutorials, it shows weird lines and edge shapes that I didn't want.
As the tutorials, I tried to adjust the values of Max Frontal/Rear Distance. But the results is still same.
This could be an issue with the UVs. Can you post an image of the UVs for this same section of polygons?
I had the exact same questions as Spencer, so thanks for the explanations. I will download the project files from the new link. The tutorial series is definitely appreciated, and I do understand the difficulty of keeping the tutorial series in sync with ever changing new versions. Thanks for your patience with us new users!
I attached UVs for both low and high objects.
The UVs look fine. I'm sorry, but I'm sure what is causing that issue. Can you send me the low and high meshes and I will investigate.
Hi Wes, First i would like to thank you for the great tutorials, very helpful.
I am new at SP started few days ago and i am following your scifi crate project tutorial, i reached the video where we need to bake the texture maps after painting the height details and exporting new normal map. Now the problem i ran is that AO map is not showing the height details, i went through the steps a couple of times, and as far as i can see i have done all the steps in the tutorial.
Never mind i found what was the issue, i forgot to remove the high mesh from the baker common settings, that is why it was not showing the height details on the ao.

The play is a farcical black comedy revolving around Mortimer Brewster, a drama critic who must deal with his crazy, homicidal family and local police in Brooklyn, NY, as he debates whether to go through with his recent promise to marry the woman he loves. His family includes two spinster aunts who have taken to murdering lonely old men by poisoning them with a glass of home-made elderberry wine laced with arsenic, strychnine, and "just a pinch" of cyanide; a brother who believes he is Theodore Roosevelt and digs locks for the Panama Canal in the cellar of the Brewster home (which then serve as graves for the aunts' victims); and a murderous brother who has received plastic surgery performed by an alcoholic accomplice, Dr. Einstein (a character based on real-life gangland surgeon Joseph Moran) to conceal his identity and now looks like horror-film actor Boris Karloff (a self-referential joke, as the part was originally played by Karloff).

Asleep At The Wheel Documentary and ConcertFriday, November 8 at 8 p.m.
say "impossible" to Asleep at the Wheel, the famed western-swing, boogie, and roots-music outfit that's, amazingly, still on the upswing. That's saying something, too, considering the group's been around for nearly 40 years, turning out an incredible 25+ albums while playing an unrelenting schedule of one-nighters that would make a vaudevillian dizzy.
These days, the reinvented Wheel is also rolling down a couple of new avenues. One involves to the critically acclaimed musical play, A Ride With Bob, which stars Benson as himself — encountering the ghost of Bob Wills on a tour bus – Roberts as the young Wills, and McQueen as Minnie Pearl and other famed entertainment figures, with the rest of the band members featured as well. Originally designed as a one-off celebration of Wills' 100th birthday in '05, A Ride With Bob quickly took on a life of its own and, notes Benson, "it's absolutely a part of what we do now." Another success has been the adaptation of the Wheel's repertoire for pops symphony. Performances with Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth & Amarillo symphonies have drawn record crowds.

7 Step Holistic Method To Get Rid of Psoriasis For Good..
Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints. This is known as psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis can affect any joint but is most common in the joints of the fingers and toes.
This can result in a sausage-shaped swelling of the fingers and toes known as dactylitis. Psoriatic arthritis can also affect the hips, knees and spine. This is known as spondylitis.
Psoriasis is driven by the immune system, especially involving a type of white blood cell called a T cell.
Normally, T cells help protect the body against infection and disease. T cells help create scabs over wounds. In the case of psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake and become so active that they trigger other immune responses, which lead to inflammation and to rapid turnover of skin cells. Epidermal cells then build up on the surface of the skin, forming itchy patches or plaques.
Specialist dermatologists generally treat psoriasis in steps based on the severity of the disease, size of the areas involved, type of psoriasis, and the patient's response to initial treatments. This is sometimes called the "1-2-3" approach. In step 1, medicines are applied to the skin (topical treatment). Step 2 uses ultraviolet light treatments (phototherapy). Step 3 involves taking medicines by mouth or injection that treat the whole immune system (called systemic therapy).
Over time, affected skin can become resistant to treatment, especially when topical corticosteroids are used. Also, a treatment that works very well in one person may have little effect in another.
Thus, doctors often use a trial-and-error approach to find a treatment that works, and they may switch treatments periodically (for example, every 12 to 24 months) if a treatment does not work or if adverse reactions occur.
Disclaimer – The information presented here should not be interpreted as medical advice. If you or someone you know suffers from Psoriasis, please consult your physician for the latest treatment options.
So what causes the skin to suddenly erupt in these nasty pustules? Research shows that a faulty autoimmune response is to blame. When something triggers the immune system to go into overdrive, it makes an overabundance of skin cells, which then harden into the scaly pustules and scabs psoriasis victims must deal with. But what can trigger such a serious response by the skin?
Is Your Stomach to Blame?
Who would have thought that a severe psoriasis outbreak could start because of something going wrong inside of your stomach and intestines? Yet, new research developed by psoriasis expert Edgard Cayce shows a distinct link between a "leaky gut" and a scaly psoriatic episode.
According to Cayce, the primary source of psoriasis can be found in the intestinal tract, where toxins are leached into the body. This causes the immune system to react by thickening the skin. At the same time, the skin tries to purge the toxins through its layers, which can cause scabs and sores to form.
Could Arthritis Be the Cuplrit?
The intestines aren't the only link to psoriasis found by researchers – arthritis seems to also contribute to it. As many as one-third of all psoriasis patients eventually develop some form of psoriatic arthritis. Unlike "normal" forms of arthritis, those with psoriatic arthritis do not exhibit a rheumatoid factor when their blood is tested. This indicates that the arthritic condition comes solely from either the psoriasis itself or the underlying cause of the skin affliction.
Could a Virus Be the Cause?
Arthritis has been linked to certain virus and so have other auto-immune disorders. This leads some researchers to think that psoriasis too may start with a virus, which is what kicks the immune system into overdrive.
Other Causes to Consider . Your Genes: If one person in your family suffers from psoriasis, the odds are good that you will too. The Environment: if you are constantly bombarded with toxins in your environment, your skin may fight back, causing psoriasis outbreaks. A Poor Immune System. Without a properly functioning lymphatic system, your skin is unable to repair itself properly, which could incite a psoriasis attack.
With so many different causes of psoriasis being investigated, it is important for each individual patient to look at their own risk factors to determine their own triggers to help develop the best treatment plan.
A long-term solution for Psoriasis should address the internal causes of Psoriasis by tackling all Psoriasis contributing factors. Only by controlling the nutritional, hormonal, psychological and environmental triggers of Psoriasis, using a multidimensional and holistic approach to healing you can reverse the "internal Psoriasis environment"- the only, safe, natural and effective way you could ever achieve lasting Psoriasis freedom.
This article is based on the book, "Psoriasis Revolution" by Dan Crawford. Dan is an author, speaker, researcher, nutritionist and health consultant who dedicated his life to creating the ultimate holistic Psoriasis healing solution guaranteed to permanently cure the root of Psoriasis and dramatically improve the overall quality of your life, naturally, without the use prescription medication and without any side effects.

Revising retirement
Book Review: 'The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security'
by Tara-Nicholle Nelson
There is something about "hard times" that brings out humanity's most practical, serious best. When you strip back the label-loving disposable income and people begin to worry more about their families' basic survival than appearances, a surprising amount of scrappy self-sufficiency often lies beneath.
And in truly tight times, we don't just cut back expenses in one area; plenty of Americans are having to make wholesale revisions in many areas of their lives to make ends meet these days.
This is true for no segment of society more than for retirement-aged Americans. While many Americans have taken a financial bath over the past few years, those who were near retirement often had the most equity in their homes and investment portfolios to lose, and the least time to recover.
Title: "The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security: Practical Strategies for Money, Work and Living"
Author: Mark Miller
Publisher: Bloomberg Press/Wiley, 2010; 223 pages; $16.95
As a result, many have had to make major shifts, downsizing their lifestyles or tacking on years to their working lives — changes that inspired both the name and the content of syndicated columnist Mark Miller's blog, RetirementRevised.com.
The vast range of life and financial changes retirees-to-be are being forced to make in this economy also inspired Miller's new book, "The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security: Practical Strategies for Money, Work and Living."
Miller's vision for "The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security" was to support readers' wide array of retirement revisions with "a survey of the best thinking on a wide array of subjects — everything from Social Security and pensions to heath care, 50-plus careers, entrepreneurship and volunteering."
And that's precisely what the book delivers: a detailed yet wide-ranging lifestyle handbook for baby boomers who may be floundering in the aftermath of their retirement plans and funds being obliterated.
After briefing readers in the first chapter on what he means by "Rethinking retirement," piquing readers' interest by introducing them to the powerful post-recession shifts in traditional approaches to retirement money, work and living that comprise the meat of the rest of the book, Miller moves right into the first part of the book: money.
Chapter 2, "The Great Wake-Up Call," documents the seriousness about retirement and money management that the Great Recession injected into Americans approaching retirement, and offers some very handy links to free tools for getting a basic sense for what you need to save before retiring.
The next several chapters each focus on a various retirement income source, investment vehicle or personal financial challenge, from Social Security, pensions, annuities and 401(k)s to health care, taxes and real estate.
Retirement-minded homeowners will find the real estate chapter especially useful; Miller addresses how to approach recent declines in equity, advises readers to consider the revolutionary strategy of paying their mortgage off during their work years, briefs readers on their retirement housing options vis-à-vis their changing physical and medical needs and abilities, and covers the pros and cons of reverse mortgages before, as at the end of every chapter in the book, offering a detailed, helpful list of links to related online resources.
Probably the most outside-the-box section of the book is the one devoted to working. Most people think that work and retirement are mutually exclusive, by definition. Miller begs to differ and offers new thought and strategies on the matter.
First, Miller educates readers on how to understand the powerful boost they can add to the sustainability of their retirement funds by delaying retirement, and by working or running their own business in retirement; then he coaches them on navigating the job market at age 50-plus and how to successfully launch a "lifestyle business."
Finally, Miller gets right to the core of the true endgame of every retiree: living. He specifically focuses on what he calls "encore careers" that help retirees go beyond contributing cash to their family fisc, to contribute their meaningful offerings to the greater community, like teaching and careers in health care, government and the green industries.
Miller also devotes some space to volunteer work and nonprofit careers, before delving into a multitude of suggestions as to how retirees can continue lifelong learning and "brain fitness": from traveling to languages to novel-writing.
All told, Miller offers a very readable, actionable and holistic framework that offers both hope and strategy to Americans who are wondering how in the heck they are going to ever retire after the bath they've taken in the market.

I wasn't always in love with Colton Calloway; I was in love with his younger brother, Kyle, first. Kyle was my first one true love, my first in every way. Then, one stormy August night, he died, and the person I was died with him.
Nell Hawthorne is in love with her life-long best friend, Kyle Calloway. Things are great, and they're in love, young, full of promise. Then Kyle dies in a tragic accident and Nell is forever changed. She meets Kyle's older brother Colton at the funeral, and there's a spark, but it's wrong and they both know it. The moment passes, and they both move on with life. A couple years later, they meet again in New York City, and Colton realizes that Nell has never really gotten over Kyle's death, and seems to be harboring a deeply rooted pain, something like guilt, perhaps. He knows he shouldn't get involved, but he can't help himself. Trust doesn't come easily for either of them, and they both have demons, Colton especially. Together, they learn the purpose of pain and the meaning of healing, and the importance of forgiveness.
This New Adult romance novel contains graphic scenes and is intended for mature audiences. HEA ending.

Over the past decade, nearly every supplier in the Australian appliance and consumer electronics industries has suffered a product recall. While none can match the prolific number of recalls from Woolworths, product recalls are much more common and widespread than most think, from the benthic brands on the bottom shelf to the super-premium models sold pro forma.
The ACCC is currently conducting a survey of companies that have been forced to recall products. The goal is to gather knowledge from those affected so it can make improvements to the processes.
The ACCC administers the product safety recall provisions of the Australian Consumer Law and monitors the effectiveness of suppliers' recalls to ensure that unsafe goods are removed from consumers. We are seeking the views of suppliers who have recalled goods to identify potential improvements to ACCC Recalls publications and the online recall notification and reporting tools for suppliers.
The 5-minute survey asks questions such as, who did you first contact to begin the recall process, and how successful are different media in communicating the recall.


Arduino 101 by arduino.cc is a great new board powered by latest technologies. It has Intel Curie module, Bluetooth LE capabilities, and a 6-axis accelerometer/gyro. If you are familiar with the Uno, the Arduino 101 is a logical next step that adds exciting possibilities.
The Arduino 101 contains two tiny cores, an x86(Quark), and a 32-bit ARC architecture core, both clocked at 32MHz. The board also comes with 14 digital input/output pins (4 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a USB connector for serial communication and sketch upload, a power jack, an ICSP header with SPI signals and I2C dedicated pins. The board's operating voltage and I/O is 3.3V but all pins are protected against 5V overvoltage.
The Arduino 101 is very new, and uses a completely new core chipset! Many libraries won't work with it. It is thus recommended to those who has some experience with Arduino and want to experience the latest technology in the Arduino way.


What do you remember about 1995? Some may recall that was the year the DVD format was created, while others may remember that a gallon of gas cost around $1.09. And Toy Story, the first wholly computer-generated film, was the top grossing movie of the year!
1995 was also the year that Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer (commonly referred to as "IE") as an alternative to Netscape Navigator, which allowed users to access the World Wide Web. From 1995 to 2004, IE saw a constant rise in popularity as it swallowed up over 95% of the global browser market share.
However, over the last 23 years, user demands, mobile device use and the introduction of new browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari provided compelling alternatives for users and led to a steep decline in Internet Explorer usage. By 2011, IE's usage was at 42% and by March of 2015, only 15%. Today, IE only captures about 6% of the desktop browser market share.
As a software company, we've noticed three distinct challenges that affect our customers who are continuing to use and support Internet Explorer.
As of January 12, 2016, Microsoft officially ended mainstream support for Internet Explorer. This means that users can no longer expect to see improvements or additions to the browser after this date. The only modifications will be in response to serious security vulnerabilities discovered. Considering how Edge is the default web browser for Windows 10, it is probably safe to assume that Microsoft will focus on updating their newest and most widely used browser before patching IE. In this era of new technology and quickly evolving threats, the idea of being second in line to receive protection from online threats should cause any IT manager to lose sleep.
Another example of the effects of Microsoft ending mainstream support for Internet Explorer is the absence of browser extensions. Extensions make the webpages that users visit more powerful in variety of ways, from adding new features to existing web apps, providing valuable information on pages and offering timely notification about certain events. Some specific examples of these benefits include protection from online threats, auto correction of spelling and grammar mistakes and integrated password management. Just to name a few!
No one likes waiting, especially not when there is work to be completed. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer consistently ranks at the bottom of performance tests when compared to Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. For an objective comparison, check out Tim Rolston's comprehensive performance tests. In the test, Internet Explorer took almost 11 seconds to load a site. The same site was loaded by Firefox in 9.2 seconds, Chrome in 7.2 seconds and Edge in 5.6 seconds.
Generally accepted standards and guidelines for web design have been established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). One of the main advantages to following these standards is allowing web pages to be displayed and to function properly across a wide variety of browsers and devices. Edge was designed to follow these guidelines, but Internet Explorer was not. This requires web developers and testers to spend a significant amount of additional time writing and testing special (often complex) code to support IE. Additionally, many of the new styling features available are simply not supported in IE at all.
So, the gist of it is, once the web browser of choice, Internet Explorer is now simply no longer a business-friendly option due to its limited support, poor performance and its inability to follow universally accepted web standards. Microsoft has chosen to focus its development efforts on Edge, not Internet Explorer. If you are still using Internet Explorer, it's probably well past time to begin using an alternative browser. Please note, Edge is only supported by Windows 10 so if you are using Windows 7 or 8.1, your best browser options would be Chrome or Firefox. If MacOS is your operating system, then Chrome, Firefox and Safari are available.
