It’s true. ![]() Shailly Prasad, MD/MBA, Resident Physician, Obstetrics & Gynecology. If you want to know more about the other forms of contraception, read this guide. Now, if the condom breaks or leaks, be sure you take emergency contraception to avoid getting pregnant. We hope you learned something and will avoid these condom mistakes. If you want double protection, use another type of effective birth control like the pill, patch, or IUD with a condom. In this case, using two condoms is not better than one! If you use two condoms on top of each other or with a female condom, there’s more friction and an increased chance of breaking. Read on to make sure you’re not making these common condom mistakes! Even if you think you’re a condom-using pro – check out these common condom mistakes so you know what to watch out for! If condoms are used incorrectly, which they often are, their effectiveness goes down to 87%. Condoms can be your best defence against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and they are up to 98% effective at preventing unwanted pregnancy when used perfectly. ![]()

7/31/2023 0 Comments Denemo edit with lilypond![]() ABC is considerably easier to learn and use than LilyPond, but perhaps not quite as powerful. ![]() It uses a different text format (ABC) and also produces excellent results. ![]() Similar to LilyPond is abcm2ps, which also takes a text file and compiles it into printable notation. t would be interesting to hear from someone who actually knows both programs. But I'm just basing this assessment on what I've seen on their web site, not on actual experience. In Denemo, it appears that you edit in one window and see a very low quality rendition of your music rendered by Denemo itself, but as you edit, you can also see a preview of what the actual LilyPond results will look like in another window. In MuseScore, you see your score as it will print and you work that directly. My expectation is that even with Denemo, it would feel extremely clumsy in comparison to a true WYSIWYG program like MuseScore. It does an excellent job, but without a WYSIWYG front end like Denemo to help you create the input file, it's definitely a lot of work to learn and use. LilyPond itself is for real, but it is not an editor - it is a program that takes a text file in the language it has defined, and turns it into printable notation (eg, a PDF file). My impression is that this is rather crude in comparison to MuseScore, since AFAIK it is not truly a WYSIWYG editor but is actually just a graphical front end to the LilyPond music typesetting system. Probably the main alternative here is Denemo. I'm not aware of any such comparison tables, but nor am I aware of any serious competition to compare with. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dear reader, this is just to let you know that as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

When The Washington Post asked about his own level, he got tested - and found it was more than 10 times that of the dolphins: 36.25 micrograms.Īfter 30 years of studying dolphins in these waters, Trujillo, too, has been poisoned. Studies on mercury levels in human populations near the Orinoco River have been limited, Trujillo said. When mercury reaches rivers, it’s ingested by fish that are eaten by humans as far away as Bogotá. (Andrés Cardona) RIGHT: Researchers spray the fin of a pink dolphin near Puerto Carreño, Colombia as part of a study of their physical health. LEFT: A pink dolphin near Puerto Carreño, Colombia is measured by researchers as part of a study of their physical health. But he’s seen worse: The highest mercury levels in river dolphins in all of South America have been found here in the Orinoco Basin, he said, where they can surpass 30 micrograms. “If we find a fish with 1.2 micrograms … we shouldn’t eat it,” he said. ![]() Tests revealed that three of the dolphins had an average of 3.45 micrograms of mercury per liter of blood - a level Trujillo called “alarming.” In the Amazon, river dolphins are the canaries in the coal mine - “the sentinels of the aquatic ecosystems,” said Jimena Valderrama, 27, a veterinarian who has worked with Trujillo for three years: “They accumulate what we dispose of in the rivers.”Īmong the scientists’ biggest concerns was the dolphin’s exposure to mercury, a heavy metal used in mining that can cause lethal damage to the brain, heart and kidneys, and what it might suggest about the exposure of the people, near and far, who eat fish from the river. In 1993, he co-founded the Omacha Foundation, which focuses on conserving animals and ecosystems. ![]() Fernando Trujillo, right, has studied Amazon river dolphins since he was a college student in the 1980s. ![]() 7/30/2023 0 Comments Lessons from simon the sorcerer![]() ![]() ![]() At this point, Peter strongly reprimands Simon for his greed and states that he needs to “repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart” (Acts 8:22). Simon witnessed this event and “offered them money and said, ‘Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit’” (Acts 8:19–20). Later, the apostles Peter and John arrived, at which time the Spirit came upon the believers. The Bible says that “the Holy Spirit had not yet come” upon the Samaritans (Acts 8:16). In the wake of hearing and seeing the disciple Philip “as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ" (Acts 8:12), Simon was baptized into the early church and “followed Philip everywhere” (Acts 8:13). Interestingly, however, Simon’s empowerment by Satan did not include loyalty to the demonic. It appears Simon was the latter, as Luke states that he had amazed the Samaritans “for a long time with his sorcery” (Acts 8:11), some even declaring that he was “the great Power of God” (Acts 8:10), a messianic title. Sorcery, which is strongly condemned by God (Deuteronomy 18:9–13), was common in the ancient world, and, while some acts and demonstrations were no more than illusions of the mind, others were empowered by Satan in an attempt to discredit the power of God (Matthew 24:24 2 Thessalonians 2:9). The Jew called Simon who “pretended to be a magician” is referred to by the historian Josephus ( Antiquities of the Jews, book 20, chapter 7), but this appears to be a different historical figure, as he was born in Cyprus. Christian apologist Justin Martyr is believed to have propagated the idea that Simon was a Samaritan from the city of Gitta, and this has been accepted in early church tradition and today by some church historians. In the book of Acts it is stated that he “amazed all the people of Samaria” (Acts 8:9), but the account does not identify him as a Samaritan himself. A minor figure in New Testament history, Simon also appears in Gnostic texts in which his character and biography are expanded upon, but these accounts are unlikely to be historically reliable due to the nature of these writings and their anonymous authors. He appeared in the wake of the newly established church in Samaria. Simon the Sorcerer, sometimes referred to as Simon Magus or Simon of Gitta, is mentioned by Luke in Acts 8:9–24. ![]() 7/30/2023 0 Comments Windows 7 multitouch touchpad![]() What if I wanted to enable a triple tap as a right click? (please no pre-built 3rd party solutions, I want to write this myself) That's certainly got to be possible. The majority of touch features on Windows 7 is aimed at Touch Screen. If you're going to say it's impossible, then ignore that and take it from another direction. Until Apple releases a driver specifically for this the answer unfortunately not. What would I need to write that in? How would I install it? Windows / macOS / Linux / iOS / Android / Intel / ARM / Apple silicon. But perhaps I could detect the fumbling that occurs when I put my second finger down mathematically, and then "release" tracking on one of them.īasically, I'm not trying for true multitouch (like stretching images), but I feel like I ought to be able to get something together that detects a double press as a right click. Trackpad++ is the world's first alternate Windows 7 driver for an Apple Multitouch Trackpad (i.e., the pointing device of the Apple Macbook Pro / Air notebooks). After extended experimentation, I don't think it can really track both points at once. Smiledrive USB Touchpad with Multi Touch Gesture Control, Pinch & Zoom, Scroll function for Windows 7, 8 & 10 & Macs Wired Touch Gaming Mouse (USB, Grey). I tried the latest Synaptics drivers and some other Synaptics drivers. Windows 7 detects it as a mouse with scroll wheel. The direct contact of one or more fingers on the touchpad. Right now, it only works the right and left click, and the scroll at the right part of the touchpad. They enable the system to handle certain aspects of the touchpad experience natively, such as finger tracking and palm detection, for a more consistent experience across devices. I don't really know how all of this "works", but i'm imagining that it couldn't be that hard to write a program to patch into windows that allows this.Ĭurrently, if I put two fingers on the pad and drag around, it sortv half-heartedly tries to follow both. Precision touchpads are optimized for Windows app devices. To continue using these interactions in your apps, turn off this setting. To find touchpad devices, select Human Interface Devices or Mice and other pointing devices, then right-click the device youd like to update. ![]() ![]() Your Windows 10 laptop touchpad has potential beyond being a poor mouse. ![]() Note: When touch gestures are enabled, three- and four-finger interactions in your apps might not work.

Note that with the individual APIs (like Product, Article, Discussion, etc.) you can process individual resources even with the free demo token from, which lets you test out your links and see what data they’ll return before diving into bulk processing via Crawlbot. $api = $diffbot -> createArticleAPI ( 'crawl' ) -> setMeta ( true ) -> setDiscussion ( false ) $job -> setApi ( $api ) We could use the default – Analyze API – which would make Diffbot auto-determine the structure of the data we’re trying to obtain, but I prefer specificity and want it to know outright that it should only produce articles. Now we need to tell the job which API to use for processing. $job -> setSeeds ( ) -> notify ( ) -> setMaxToCrawl ( 1000000 ) -> setMaxToProcess ( 1000000 ) -> setRepeat ( 1 ) -> setMaxRounds ( 0 ) -> setPageProcessPatterns ( ) -> setOnlyProcessIfNew ( 1 ) -> setUrlCrawlPatterns ( ) To set this up, we use the setUrlCrawlPatterns method, indicating that crawled links must start with. So if we pass in, Crawlbot will look through, and the now outdated – this is something we want to avoid, as it would slow our crawling process dramatically, and harvest stuff we don’t need (we don’t want the forums indexed right now). ![]() When passing in a seed URL to the Crawl API, the Crawljob will traverse all subdomains as well. $job -> setSeeds ( ) -> notify ( ) -> setMaxToCrawl ( 1000000 ) -> setMaxToProcess ( 1000000 ) -> setRepeat ( 1 ) -> setMaxRounds ( 0 ) -> setPageProcessPatterns ( ) -> setOnlyProcessIfNew ( 1 )īefore finishing up with the crawljob configuration, there’s just one more important parameter we need to add – the crawl pattern. And of course, we want it to only process the pages it hasn’t encountered before in each new round – no need to extract the same data over and over again, it would just stack up expenses. Looking for should do – every post has this. It is, therefore, in our interest to be as specific as possible with our crawljob’s definition, as to avoid processing pages that aren’t articles – like author bios, ads, or even category listings. When Diffbot processes pages during a crawl, only those that are processed – not crawled – are actually charged / counted towards your limit. $job -> setSeeds ( ) -> notify ( ) -> setMaxToCrawl ( 1000000 ) -> setMaxToProcess ( 1000000 ) -> setRepeat ( 1 ) -> setMaxRounds ( 0 )įinally, there’s the page processing pattern. We’ll set max rounds as 0, to indicate we want this to repeat indefinitely. It’s important to note that repeating means “from the time the last round has finished” – so if it takes a job 24 hours to finish, the new crawling round will actually start 48 hours from the start of the previous round. We also want this job to refresh every 24 hours, because we know SitePoint publishes several new posts every single day. $job -> setSeeds ( ) -> notify ( )Ī site can have hundreds of thousands of links to spider, and hundreds of thousands of pages to process – the max limits are a cost-control mechanism, and in this case, I want the most detailed possible set available to me, so I’ll put in one million URLs into both values. Then, we make it notify us when it’s done crawling, just so we know when a crawling round is complete, and we can expect up to date information to be in the dataset. First, we need to give it the seed URL(s) on which to start the spidering process: $job -> setSeeds ( ) This will create a new crawljob when the call() method is called. $job = $diffbot -> crawl ( 'sp_search' ) The Diffbot instance is used to create access points to API types offered by Diffbot. I now need a job.php file into which I’ll just dump the job creation procedure, as per the README: include 'vendor/autoload.php' use Swader \Diffbot \Diffbot $diffbot = new Diffbot ( 'my_token' ) composer require swader/diffbot-php-client In an empty folder, let’s first install the client library.
