Unlike other pistols that require knocking a pin free to remove interchangeable backstraps, the Smith & Wesson only requires that you turn the frame tool-which extends below the base of the grip with the magazine removed-90 degrees and pull it free from the gun. The rotating takedown lever makes field stripping the S&W M&P9 fast and simple, even for new shooters. Smith & Wesson has spent a decade perfecting the M&P9 pistols, and it should come as no surprise that there were no feeding issues throughout the 200-round test. Off the bench the combination of the pistol’s low bore axis smooth, short-reset trigger excellent ergonomics and the red dot optic made it easy to control and shoot quickly. Accuracy was excellent, with the best five-shot group of the day measuring just 1.05 inches at 25 yards. This compact optic doesn’t impede draw, and the overall height of the gun increases by just about 0.75 inch, making this the ideal carry gun setup for those who prefer a reflex sight. I mounted Trijicon’s new RMRcc red dot on the M&P9. It also handles great thanks to its low bore axis and grip angle. This five-shot, 1.05-inch cluster with Speer’s new Gold Dot G2 Carry Gun load shows the pistol’s accuracy potential. Suggested retail price is $616, and the gun comes with a number of extras, including a second 15-round magazine, a total of four backstrap inserts, base plates and two magazine sleeves for firing 17-round magazines. The M&P9 Compact OR also features extended three-white-dot sights dovetailed into the slide that will co-witness with your reflex sight. The recoil spring features a flat coil design, and there’s a three-slot rail under the barrel should you elect to mount a light, laser or light/laser on your gun. There’s a reversible push-button magazine release and an ambidextrous slide stop as well as a rotating takedown lever that makes M&P guns easy to clean and maintain. One thing that hasn’t changed much over the M&P9’s lifespan is the control layout. The control layout, great trigger and grip stippling remain the same as the M2.0 Compact, but the ability to mount a red dot like this Trijicon RMRcc adds a new dimension. Also new on the M2.0 guns is a revised grip texturing that provides a secure hold on the gun and a lighter, smoother trigger than the previous-generation model. The M2.0’s slide cuts vary slightly from the original model, and this gun comes with aggressive fish scale texturing at the front and the rear of the slide. Practically speaking, the M&P9 2.0 Compact OR is capable of withstanding exposure to moisture and perspiration that occurs when a firearm is carried daily. Both the barrel and slide are made from stainless steel, and both are treated with an Armornite salt bath nitride treatment that improves the strength and corrosion protection of the metal. Smith & Wesson M&P pistols feature a Zytel polymer frame with an extended stainless steel chassis. The M&P has an unloaded weight of 27 ounces, and its beveled slide makes the gun less likely to print. From the top of its sights to the base pad of the magazine, the new M&P9 measures 5.1 inches, which is comparable to the Glock. Overall length is 7.3 inches, which is slightly shorter than a Glock 19. The gun’s four-inch barrel is housed in a slide that measures 1.1 inches wide. “To meet the demands of our consumers, the M&P9 M2.0 Compact is now able to accept many popular slide-mounted optics, straight from the factory.” “The use of optics has become increasingly popular as handgun owners look for ways to enhance their accuracy and shooting experience,” says Vince Perreault, Smith & Wesson’s brand marketing manager. Smith & Wesson includes seven plates for mounting the most popular red dot pistol sights. OR stands for Optics Ready, and this gun sports a milled slide that allows shooters to mount their favorite reflex optic. The newest branch on Smith & Wesson’s ever-growing M&P family tree is the M&P9 M2.0 Compact four-inch OR.

When done right, they’re stickier and a tad chewier than regular dumplings. Shrimp Har Gow – Har gow refers to wrappers that are steamed until you can see through them. Steamed Vegetable Dumpling – One of the first items to arrive on our table, the skin was a little gummy but the vegetable filling was fresh and crisp. The bacon was crisp and dry, the shrimp was juicy and meaty.Įgg Rolls – The crispy and greasy exterior was light and embodied a slightly sweet flavor that was almost dessert-like on its own. Delicious, it reminded me of a crispy, greasy knish.īacon wrapped shrimp – Not as tasty as it could have been because it wasn’t as fresh as I had hoped. The dough itself is pretty flavorless but filling.ĭeep fried taro dumplings – Beneath the delicate fried taro exterior lies a core of boiled and mashed taro mixed with slightly spicy ground pork. My favorite item of the entire meal was also the last to arrive at our table showing you how important it is to keep an eye out for the items you’re hoping to try.Ĭhive & Shrimp Dumplings – These are some of the freshest and tastiest dumplings I’ve ever had, mainly due to the fact that they traveled directly from the frying pan to our plate over at the steam table section.Ĭhar siu baau – Pillowy steamed pork buns filled with the same sweet roast pork as the char siu sou above. Dumplings are cooked up fresh next to the steam tables, this is an area not to be overlooked.Ĭhar siu sou – Puff pastries filled, topped with honey and filled with sweet and savory roast pork. Having a second card provides a major advantage because one person at can acquire food from the steam table area while someone else remains at the table acquiring food from the carts. At the left of the photo, in front of the stained glass wall and orange-clad employees, are the steam tables. The photo below depicts just the right half of the Jing Fong dining room when you first enter. Here’s where the double order card strategy comes into play. Steam Table Food & Double Order Card Strategy Carts, however, are not the only place to get food. My two favorite dishes didn’t roll past our table until the very end of the meal. Don’t stop investigating passing carts or you may miss some of the best dishes. The stream of carts moves very quickly and in turn so must you, as the carts pass you by, continue the card/food exchange until you have a nice base of dishes to work through on your table. Don’t worry about price, nothing will break the bank, if it looks decent, hand over your card in exchange for some food. Be adventurous, get out of your seat, card in hand, and take a peek at what’s on the cart. This is where the “seizing” comes into play. Carts filled with steam baskets and plates of food will be wheeled quickly past you by mainly Cantonese-speaking women who have little to no patience describing what they’re offering. On weekends, prices vary depending on size from $2.95 to $3.95 to $4.95. During the week, every plate at Jing Fong, no matter the size, is $2.95. The size of the dish determines price and where it’s stamped. “This is my order card! There are many like it, but this one is mine! My order card is my best friend. In case you still don’t comprehend the gravity of this card’s purpose, I’m going to borrow some lines from the film “Full Metal Jacket”: Don’t lose it and try not to spill on it. Every time you take a steam basket or plate, this card is stamped. Once you reach the summit, you’ll be unceremoniously ushered to a table and handed an order card (ask for two order cards, if possible, I’ll explain why later). Jing Fong is a massive dim sum house, so much so that you have to take a very steep escalator up to the vast banquet hall. If you’re going on a Saturday or Sunday, get there early, preferably before noon, because there will most likely be a wait and they sometimes run out of certain dishes. Dim sum is served from breakfast through late afternoon every day but it draws big crowds on weekends. “Dim Sum” does not mean “dumplings.” It refers to the entire range of dishes offered at the dim sum house. It’s the language of the dim sum house and having someone with you who has mastered it will make the meal. There’s one thing you can do to GUARANTEE a thorough and authentic experience: bring one person with you who speaks Cantonese. In the following sections preceding the food I will try to prepare you for the unique cultural experience you will soon undertake. If you have eaten dim sum before, in an authentic Cantonese dim sum house, skip ahead and just enjoy the food porn. If you’ve never eaten Dim Sum, you MUST read this…. Tap into this enthusiasm by feeling into what it would be like for you to achieve your goal. If you have set good goals, your goals should feel invigorating, empowering, and exciting. One of the best ways to work with this idea is to think about following your highest excitement. The first exercise involves seeing yourself achieving your goals. Technique #1: Seeing Yourself Achieving Your Goals As you do, your mind will begin to relax. Sit comfortably, and begin by centering your attention on your breath. While there are many ways to work with visualization, from clear goal-setting, writing lists, using positive affirmations, and becoming the energy of your desire, the following three exercises are based on meditation.įor each, simply find 10-15 minutes you can take for yourself in a quiet space. Easy, Step by Step Visualization Exercises You can read more about using this law for manifestation, or proceed straight to the exercises below. Any visualization technique for success must be based on this principle. The Law of Attraction works by aligning your emotions to your goals. However, simply thinking of your aim may not be enough, because the key point is to combine the thought of your goal, with the emotion of how achieving that goal makes you feel. When you visualize your goal, you create the thoughts and energy necessary that will help to pull that goal towards you. The benefits of visualizing your goals have been studied for decades, and researchers are increasingly coming to view it as an essential tool for success.ĭone correctly, visualization works because it is based on The Law of Attraction. Visualization is one of the most powerful tools you can use in order to accomplish any goal you set for yourself. Sims primarily make money by getting a job, or selling crafted items such as paintings and garden produce, and Sims need to develop skills for jobs and crafting items for example, Sims in the Culinary career track need to be proficient in the Cooking skill. Sims have six needs: hunger, bladder, hygiene, social, fun, and energy - these needs are drained as the Sim progresses through an in-game day, and are refilled by various household items and furniture. Simoleons (§) are the unit of currency used in the game, and Sims communicate in a fictional language called Simlish. Though not mandatory, objective-based gameplay is available if the player desires, with each Sim having lifelong aspirations, and "wants and fears" personal goals that are generated based on current gameplay. The focus of the game is on the simulated lives of virtual people called "Sims", and the player is responsible for directing their actions, attending to their "needs", and helping them attain their desires. There is no primary objective or goal to achieve, and instead of fulfilling objectives, the player is encouraged to make choices and engage fully in an interactive environment. The Sims 4 is a social simulation game, similar to preceding titles in the series. A new mainline The Sims title, under the working title "Project Rene", is currently in development. Free content updates introducing and expanding major features have also been released, such as swimming pools, more character customization options, more building tools, and gameplay scenarios. The most recent expansion pack, The Sims 4: Horse Ranch, was released on July 20, 2023. Development of the game has been supported with numerous paid downloadable content packs, namely fourteen expansion packs, twelve game packs, and several stuff packs and kits. The Sims 4 has been commercially successful, topping the all-format video game chart in 2014, and has received over 70 million players worldwide as of 2023, making it the most popular game in the franchise. The Sims 4 received mixed reviews from critics upon its initial release, who praised the game's visual design, improved AI simulation for Sims, and the simplified building tools, but criticized the lack of content compared to prior The Sims titles, frequent loading screens, and missing features. In the months leading up to the game's release, Maxis revealed that several features present in prior The Sims main titles would be omitted at launch, citing insufficient development time and technical complexity this was received negatively by players. The game introduces a newly developed custom game engine, with improved character creation and housebuilding tools, as well as deeper in-game simulation with the new emotion and personality systems for Sims.ĭevelopment of The Sims 4 began as an online multiplayer title, but plans were shifted to a single-player experience following the negative launch reception of Maxis' SimCity in 2013. Like previous titles in the series, The Sims 4 allows players to create and dress characters called "Sims", build and furnish houses for them, and simulate their everyday lives. The game was moved to a free-to-play model on October 18, 2022, monetized by the purchase of various paid downloadable content packs that have been developed since its release. The game was released in North America on September 2, 2014, for Windows, an OS X version was released in February 2015, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were released in November 2017. It is the fourth major title in The Sims series, following The Sims 3 (2009). The Sims 4 is a social simulation game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. Again, they checked with the lights the PA AND the nurse together and said they didn't look unequal and then had me do more tests, squeeze the fingers, touch my nose then his finger, walk around, do an eye test so on and so forth and again nothing. I then went to the ER because I got myself so worked up over a brain tumor or stroke that I forced myself to go. I was fine for like 3 days maybe but kept checking my eyes. She tested my eyes with the light and then tested my neurologic functions like squeezing her hand, blinking, smiling all that and said I was okay. They seem to look the same in regular lighting (like sunlight and when I take a picture with the flash) I went to the urgent care because I got nervous thinking I was having a stroke or something. I noticed the other day that my pupils are slightly different sizes in dim lights.

I will double check the TTY field on the MBP next time. Then on my second attempt, and since then, I could only get "." to come up no matter what key I pressed in the 512Ke. I do a good bit of reading on the topic alright, but never enough of course.įunny enough, on my VERY first attempt, when I would hit a key on the 512Ke, a random character would appear on the MBP. Both MacTerminal on the 512Ke and SerialTerm on my MPB were set to 9600 baud. I believe I did ensure the speeds were matching. You can click them for the proper version.Īlas, I've never had this upside-down nonsense with MacRumors from OSX, only from iOS. That is the fault of vbuletin not my own. I am aware that the images are upside down. (I have also ordered a Raspberry Pi B+ to expand my options with all this vintage network hacking) So, if anybody here can assist me in communicating effectively between my 512Ke and my MacBook Pro via USB-Serial cable I would be most pleased. The 512Ke receives no data from the MBP, communication is one way also. No matter what setting I use, every character on the 512Ke keyboard results join a "." on my MBP. So far, all I have been able to achieve is using MacTerminal on my 512Ke to send a series of full stops (.) over the serial connection to my MacBook Pro running apps like "ZTerm" and "CoolTerm". Uploading pictures from my iPhone straight onto my HD20 is a blast I can tell you. I get a great kick out of AppleTalk networking and hosting my 512Ke on the internet through use of my 8600 as an intermediary. I am studying Computer Science and would love to enable my 512Ke (and my Apple II Plus) to perform some arguably useful tasks in the modern world. Or perhaps access a primitive form of E-Mail in text only form? Who knows. Perhaps things can be done it for controlling the OS X terminal for example and allow me to administer my MineCraft server from the 512Ke. Seeing as the 512Ke lacks the ram needed to run a lot of interesting networking software, it's use as a terminal is quite intriguing. It already sports an external 800K drive, a HD20, a Midi Interface as well as a LocalTalk interface connected it to my home AppleTalk network with servers hosted on a Classic II and PM 8600. Recently I have acquired an RS-422 Cable for my very well kitted out Macintosh 512Ke. Introduction to Jobs, Queues, and Workersīefore diving into code, I would like to present you with a real-life analogy of doing things asynchronously. Introduction to Jobs, Queues, and Workers.
Or they try to do without the metal right away. The classification Congo Cobalt: a rare but important metal for the modern worldĪlthough cobalt has become one of the most important components in many industries thanks to its unique properties, the instability, volatility and uncertainty of metal supply has led many companies to take drastic steps to meet their demand for cobalt. Cobalt 27 Capital, which is investing in metals needed to build electric vehicles, warned earlier this year that "Cobalt's two main problems with the supply chain are concentrated production and reserves in the DRC and Chinese control over the majority of refined cobalt production ". According to estimates, China refines more than half of the world's cobalt production. While Rohkobalt is the dominant theme in the DRC, at the other end of the market segment another country has emerged to dominate the market. The political environment can be very volatile, the supply is quickly endangered and mine operators are often faced with security problems. His oversized role in the worldwide cobalt market is far from the ideals of those who would like to degrade the metal. The Democratic Republic of Congo has historically been a very unstable country plagued by corruption and war. But none of these countries produces more than 5% of world production. No other country in the world approaches the DRC cobalt concentration: Cuba, Russia, Australia and the Philippines are other important cobalt producers. Nearly two-thirds of global production comes from the country. Over half of the world's deposits of nearly seven million tonnes of cobalt are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Cobalt producers: The Democratic Republic of the Congo and China dominateĬobalt is very rare and the most common occurrence is in a highly unstable country in the heart of Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). 90% of the raw material will be mined by the Ruashi mine in south-eastern Congo.
