However, the sector has been facing a crisis, driving thousands of debt-ridden farmers to take their own lives in recent years.Īmid the coronavirus pandemic that has further disrupted the country’s economy, the right-wing BJP government passed the three farm laws in September. Laws amid pandemic crisisĪgriculture contributes nearly 15 percent to India’s $2.9-trillion economy and employs more than half of the country’s 1.4 billion people. Last week, a group of opposition leaders including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met India’s President Ram Nath Kovind and told him the laws should be revoked. Kejriwal urged his party’s supporters to join the agitation and urged Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to “shun arrogance” and agree to the demands of the farmers.Ī BJP spokesperson refused to comment, saying the party has “advised” them not to talk to the media on the protests since the ministers are holding talks with the farmers’ representatives. Farmers protesting at Singhu border outside New Delhi ĭelhi state’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party (Common Man’s Party) have extended support to the farmers by fasting with them on Monday. The protests are being spearheaded by thousands of farmers camping outside the Indian capital, New Delhi, and blocking several highways leading to the city. This is the second time in two weeks the farmers have called for nationwide protests, asking people to hold sit-ins outside district offices across the country. Main leaders belonging to different farmer organisations will observe fast as a means of protest against the new agriculture laws,” Darshan Pal, a farmer leader, told Al Jazeera, adding that if the government invited them again for talks, “we will consider it positively”. “Today, we have given a call for protests in all the districts all over India. The new laws seek to deregulate India’s enormous agriculture sector by allowing farmers to sell their produce to private buyers beyond government-run wholesale markets, where farmers are assured a minimum price for their crops.īut the farmers say the laws threaten their livelihoods and will only benefit big corporations, leaving growers at the mercy of a free market.

Rita haney dave lombardo1/1/2024 What’s that metal song that you would want to do with everyone up there as an all-star finale? He was about unity and bringing people together for fun. But you also know that we have a reputation of throwing a damn good party, like he did. They kept hounding me going, “Are you going to announce a lineup?” I just kept putting it off because I want when people hear “Dimebash” that it not be about who’s playing or whatever. Haney: We sold out without even announcing a lineup. Talk about what this event means to you and having the support in the industry. And they really set the bar super high for every band. You want to make sure that the fans are included. You want to be a great band, you want to make sure everyone has a drink. You want to host a party, you want to make sure that everybody’s having a good time backstage. … The way that the Foo Fighters work and run our organization has a lot to do with we learned from the Pantera camp. Grohl: It was crazy because at one point, we were so obsessed with those f–king home videos that you even felt like you knew the crew. Haney: It was when we were all out Guns N’ Roses, so that had to be 1993 or 1994. Haney: Yeah I’d love for you to do some of Darrell’s sauces or some of those.ĭave, what do you remember about first meeting Darrell? Would you ever, for one of the Dimebash events, give Dave the recipes to cook? And so I thought, “Okay, I’m just going to do this.” And in a way, sitting around and staring at temperature gauges for 14 hours kept me from losing my mind. And our bass player, Nate, bought me a smoker. And then all of a sudden the tour was over, I couldn’t f–king walk and I had nothing to do. When I broke my leg we stayed on tour for another eight months. Grohl: That’s how I actually started doing this. If they caught it, he’d give them 100 bucks. He’d take the lettuce and yell, “Go long,” and he’d throw it to the stock boys. His other favorite thing was going to the grocery store in the middle of the night. So what do you do with your time? How do you relax? And cooking was just one of those things. But when he’d come home, he wasn’t drinking at all. People always thought he was cocktail-ing and boozing all the time. Your mind’s still going and you’re still spinning, but you’re sitting at home. You come off the road where you’ve got something all the time 24/7. And that’s what it’s titled: murder shrimp. I’m like, “Great name, Darrell.” I’ve got this little booklet where he wrote down stuff that he’d come up with in the kitchen. He had a shrimp sauce that he would do, it was called murder shrimp of all things. Haney: He had really good barbecue sauce. People never could get that close to someone before. Haney: … But to have him serve it to you too, that’s something that like you were saying how the music industry’s changed. And so to do something like this where it’s to break it down into a backyard barbecue, it just makes it perfect. This is the eleventh “Dimebash” and it’s just a way that you can bring new elements in to the event.ĭave Grohl: I remember we were all fans of Pantera, and we would watch those, Pantera home videos, and we’d think, “Dude, my God, that band is just like the people that love that band.” And you’re watching them like, “Man, so much fun, holy s–t.” And it seemed like the connection that they have with the audience was… Quip mouthwash1/1/2024 Now quip is extending its strength in oral care and its intuitive and enjoyable design-ethos to transform yet another important aspect of our daily oral care routine: Mouthwash. Since the launch of quip's first Electric Toothbrush in 2014, the company has focused on designing products that people enjoy using with features that guide and encourage good habits. Like many quip products, mouthwash refills can be easily added to users' ongoing refill subscriptions. The 4x concentrated formula (1 part mouthwash concentrate to 3 parts water), eliminates having to buy those bulky, plastic bottles that often get forgotten under your sink. The refillable dispenser and one refill bottle allows for 45 uses. Our refill bottles are smaller than other mouthwash on the market, and fully recyclable in an effort to reduce plastic waste. We've made it intuitive to use by dosing the proper amount of concentrate at the press of a button. With sustainability & design top of mind, the refillable dispenser is designed to be refilled with a concentrated mouthwash. Designed to be elegant and compact, this mouthwash takes up little space and looks great on your bathroom counter, helping users form better oral care habits. With this in mind, we created a dispenser small and beautiful enough to live on display, in order to remind users to swish daily. Traditional mouthwash lives in your cabinet, hidden away from view and forgotten. Quip Refillable Mouthwash is a fresh take on an important step of your oral care routine. It makes grocery shopping less overwhelming, gives me a bit of a boost by making me think that I’m helping rescue food that’d otherwise go to waste, and, well, helps me eat the amount of veggies I know I should be consuming.Results Announced for Community Choice Prize See All Winners Mouthwash But you can change your delivery schedule, skip a delivery, or even donate the delivery you’d otherwise completely skip! Donating charges you your regular subscription fee (minus shipping) and the company donates that food to a food bank. Like this tasty oven roasted ratatouille recipe I whipped up to use up my zucchini, tomatoes, and yellow squash before I was away for a long weekend. Probably a few days more! But it also forces me to be creative to use up these delicious beauts. As one person, I can live off of the produce for like a WEEK. On the Sunday night of the week that you're scheduled for a delivery, you log in and add stuff to cart until you reach the $40 minimum. Spaghetti squash or Roma tomatoes may have a few spots on them (hence the savings with imperfect-looking stuff) but they always taste as good as the flawless stuff you’d find in a store. This beaut delivers organic produce straight to your door that might be a little ugly and not up to grocery stores’ visual standards. I’ve received three boxes so far and don’t plan on quitting anytime soon. So when my Aunt Lynn mentioned she subscribes to the Misfits Market box, I had her text me a promo code. Also, apparently, living in the Gossip Girl neighborhood will really drive up the price of groceries. So I try to balance that out by filling up on veggies when I’m cooking for myself at home. Digiornio’s pizzas, Slim Jims, ice-cold Mountain Dews, and other things that are surely taking weeks off my life with each bite or sip are my siren call. "If I could get away with it, I’d live off of gas station snacks. Here's BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly's review: Computer shortcuts for word1/1/2024 The Shift+Arrow keys will also perform this function. There’s no need to always use the mouse to highlight selected text. Pressing F5 in Word opens a more comprehensive search tool that allows you to navigate to a specific page, section, or line of your document, as well as use the Find and Replace function. NavigationĪre you trying to find a specific section in a long document? Hit Ctrl+F for Find, which allows you to enter the word or phrase that you’re looking for and be taken directly to it.Ĭtrl+F is also extremely useful in web browsers and across the Office suite. Once you’ve entered the information, the selected text will turn into a blue, underlined hyperlink. A dialog box will appear for you to input the web address that the text is to be linked to. Highlight a word or sentence that you want to link to a webpage and press Ctrl+K. This one is handy in a number of situations - not just in Word, but also in PowerPoint and Excel. After that, you’ll most likely want to return to normal formatting for the main body of your text, in which case you can align left with Ctrl+L. Text Alignmentĭo you need text right in the middle of the page for a title? You can center text with Ctrl+E. There’s no need to delete it all and type it out again: just highlight the relevant text and press Ctrl+Shift+A to turn it all into regular lower case/upper case. But what if you just typed out a whole paragraph with caps lock on, and now it looks like you’re screaming? There may be times when, for the purposes of clarity or emphasis, you want all of the text to be UPPER CASE. The three most popular formatting options for font style and emphasis are italics (Ctrl+I), bold (Ctrl+B), and underlining (Ctrl+U). So grab a seat and get comfortable as I will start with a deep dive of my favorite Word shortcuts and then cover how to leverage the Word Ribbon as well. With this disclaimer complete, here are a number of Microsoft Word keyboard shortcuts that you can learn today to enhance your word processing experience. I often think about different versions of Word like Dropbox vs Box: similar but different. These shortcuts will work on most of your computers for most of your use-cases most of the time.Ī friendly note that it is possible that your keyboard layout, operating system (Windows or Mac), and version of the software (desktop, client, version, and so on) you are running will impact some shortcuts and the utility of this advice. Writing an article about general Word shortcuts reminds me of a quote attributed to the poet John Lydgate and later adapted by President Lincoln: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time”. Of course which shortcuts to learn and when to use each depends on the type of computer you are using - and your goals. If you are working from home and want to expedite the speed and accuracy of your engagement with Word, you can take time to learn about keyboard shortcuts that follow. When you play a piano you can push keys or you can have a more full body experience and deeply interact with the instrument. Unlike webinar software which is largely web based and requires simple click and point interactions, Word can be fully immersive.īelieve it or not, Word is more akin to augmented reality in that regard. I consider myself something of a keyboard shortcut guru and want to pass some of these lessons on to you. Specifically you can use keyboard shortcuts to greatly accelerate your typing and word processing speeds. Regardless of your past associations with Word, there are ways you can start using this popular tool better today. In college I remember sending myself Word files and saving each with a laughably hard to understand name (like Final Draft 1.21a). Clearly companies love and experience the benefits Word affords because this tool keeps staff thinking, communicating, and writing. Maybe you use it daily at work to conduct research, draft important documents, or write essays. Perhaps Word was the first word processor you learned how to type on. In this article we will dive deeper into one of these products, Microsoft Word. The core apps and services included in Office 365 include: That is a lot of users leveraging a subscription service to access Microsoft Office products. According to Microsoft's first quarter results, Office 365 has 200 million monthly active users. Hamburg artisan market1/1/2024 Gregory the Great Craft Show, November 23 & 24, He also makes jewelry boxes, picture frames, sun catchers, and ornaments. He added, “I do about five shows a years mostly at the holidays.” Zeeb’s most popular items are his stained glass angel pins and necklaces, as well as his stained glass kaleidoscopes. “I decided to make some money by selling some of the items,” said Zeeb. Zeeb had taken a course in making stained glass prior to his retirement and really enjoyed making the stained glass pieces however, he began making more items than he could possibly give away to friends and family. One local artisan, Bob Zeeb, 80, of Amherst, has been creating stained glass items and kaleidoscopes since he retired in 1995.

That too seems like a good direction, it even has professional looking dark theme interface. I also recently discovered BLENDER, or should I say, discovered what it could do with all-the add-on’s. not enough of it to learn new avenues, but if no real alternative, then perhaps worth a try if free ? Talking of time, this has always been my issue, i.e. Trying new software is always daunting, but can be rewarding at the same time. They too have a free ‘make-version’ so perhaps the SU-make users could consider other markets ? However, the world seemed to go for SU, so I sort of stuck with it, even though, I still like what I see from formz & may be the better tool. I didn’t realise SU-MAKE has such a following, this forum thread, now over 400, suggests it may have some influence ?Īnyway, soon after buying SU, I then discovered bonzia3D or formz & was even more impressed with the in-house architectural tools.

Whatsapp logo color hex12/31/2023 Notice how even though the values are close to each other, the blue value is the largest. The closer to 0 the values are, the darker the shade of gray since black is (0, 0, 0).Ĭolors that surround the grayscale line are not pure gray, but rather slightly tinted. For example, medium gray is (127, 127, 127) and is the midpoint of the grayscale line. Every color on this line has the same value for red, green, and blue. In this RGB cube, the grayscale line extends from black to white. What we’re interested in are the colors along and around the grayscale line. Every color can be “plotted” in this cube. We can also visualize the RGB color space as a cube with red, green, and blue as the axis. We also have black which is a lack of color: (0, 0, 0) and white, all the colors: (255, 255, 255). A deep eggplant purple is (128, 0, 128) with equal parts red and blue. For example, red would be (255, 0, 0) since pure red has no traces of green or blue. The weight ranges from 0 (least) to 255 (most) and is usually displayed in a triplet: (red weight, green weight, blue weight). Each color is a combined weight of the three colors red, green, and blue. The RGB color space is one of the most popular models. To talk about colors, we should start with how colors can be represented digitally. Through inspecting elements and getting the hex codes of colors from a screenshot, I analyzed the dark mode palettes of 6 popular apps. I was curious about the dark mode apps and sites I use. And across various apps, the spectrum of gray becomes even wider. In a single app, a handful of shades of gray give the app some depth. If you’re an avid dark mode user like me, you’ll know that dark mode isn’t just about white text on black backgrounds. Asana vs discord vs slack12/31/2023 This feature-rich platform covers all the basic needs one would want from an instant messaging application with its different and unique approach. Many consider Discord as an excellent slack alternative, and it’s easy to see why. This makes sense as the former is designed to boost productivity, while the latter is more for making work communication more “fun” with its animations and aesthetic. Its polished and business-oriented theme strongly clashes with the casual, laid-back vibe of Discord. Slack, on the other hand, is a sharp contrast. This can be off-putting for some business owners. There’s also another interesting reason why several business owners prefer Slack: Branding.ĭiscord is aimed at gamers. Not only does this ensure better (and in some cases, more effective) communication, but even finding a specific message becomes easier. Slack organizes all your chats by channels-public and private-with threats and direct messages. It’s simply more convenient.īetter organization is another advantage. We much prefer larger file sizes and low file storage instead of unlimited storage with restricted file sizes. The latter gives you a 5GB file storage limit on the free plan, but you can increase it by opting for the premium plans. That said, it’s true you do get unlimited file storage on Discord’s free plan, but the maximum file size transfer is limited to 8MB, which, compared to Slack’s 1GB offering, becomes insignificant. If this sounds relatable, you should definitely get Slack as Discord doesn’t offer a considerable value for transferring files. You may want to share or receive PowerPoint presentations, elaborate business plans, or client documents. Like Discord, Slack has a free plan, but if you want to increase functionality, you can always purchase add-ons.įile sharing is also a significant part of office life. Not only Discord, but it can be challenging for any software to compete with the platform. Slack’s developer API is one of the biggest reasons why the platform edges ahead of Discord, letting you do so much with dev integrations. It’s designed for the professional community and work team, which is why it integrates with several works-related apps to promote an uninterrupted workflow. However, we recommend Slack because of its superior collaborative tools, tons of third-party integrations, easy file searching and file uploads, and several other features that make it more suitable for business use. Our Recommendation: Slackīoth Slack and Discord are incredible team communication tools designed for specific use-cases. In this article, we’ll tell you what you should pick between Slack and Discord. So does this mean Slack is for work and Discord for gaming? Well, things aren’t as simple as that. While Slack has been the go-to option for many business owners for a long time, Discord has recently climbed the popularity ladder after being embraced by the gaming community for years. The current instant messaging or team chat landscape is primarily dominated by two tools: Slack and Discord. This has resulted in web-based communities and team chat systems becoming an integral part of everyone’s workflow.īut how do you determine the right choice for you, considering the wide range of available options? Online communication has become a significant priority today-all because of COVID-19. Custom manual gear shift knobs12/31/2023 We will ship back the new or repaired shift knob.
