This cheesecake without oreo oven is one of the ones we liked the most on our last trip to New York. We tried it at the Bake bakery in Brooklyn and as soon as we tried it we fell at his feet.
It is a very creamy cake with all the flavor of oreo cookies but very light at the same time. Or you need an oven, just a few hours of fridge to curdle so it's perfect for the summer, although I'll tell you that we tried it one February, with zero degrees on the street, and we found it absolutely delicious with a hot chocolate.
So today I share it with you, of course my version that we have created at home trying different amounts of oreo and decoration. I definitely stay with this one that I bring you today and that I hope you like as much as I do.
The recipe is a commission of Albal, faithful companion in the kitchen both to prepare recipes and to preserve food and whose products I have used in the process of making the cake to help you prepare it.
For the base
- 25 oreo cookies for the base
- 70 g of melted butter
For the filling
- 750 g of Philadelphia cream cheese at room temperature
- 300 g of cream with at least 35% fat. with 50 g of sugar
- 100 g sugar
- the filling of the Oreo
- 6 gelatin sheets
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 8 crushed oreo cookies
For decorating the cake
- 10 crushed Oreo cookies
- 8 oreo cookies for decoration
We line the base of a 20 cm mold with Albal baking paper.
In a bowl we put the gelatin to hydrate in cold water.
Open the cookies and remove the cream with the help of a knife. We put them in a Zipper bags from Albal and crush them until we have thin crumbs.
Put the cookie crumbs in a bowl along with the melted butter, and mix until moistened.
Pour the mixture into a mold of 20 cm and press until we have in a uniform layer. We can do it with the bottom of a glass so that it is uniform easily.
Transfer to the fridge so that the base hardens.
Drain the hydrated gelatin leaves, put them in a bowl and heat them for a few seconds in the microwave until it is melted. We let it lose the heat.
While in a bowl we put the cheese with the sugar and vanilla, the filling of the cookies with the lemon juice and beat until there are no lumps and we have a uniform dough. Add the gelatin and mix gently again.
Beat the cream until it thickens and add it with enveloping movements with the help of a spatula to the cheese mixture
Add the crushed oreo cookies and mix well with the help of a spatula.
Pour the mixture into the mold and carefully extend it into a uniform layer. Cover well with transparent film Albal and leave in the fridge at least 5 hours until it hardens.
Crush the cookies in a kitchen robot oreo until we get a fine powder
Cover with the powdered Oreo and decorate with the rest of whole cookies.
Tips and Tricks
- You can leave the cake uncovered
- It freezes very well
- Preparation time: 30 minutes plus 5 hours of fridge
- Difficulty: easy
- Servings: 10

Poems About Anxiety To Help You Feel Seen
Sometimes, experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition can be isolating. It may seem like no one understands how you feel or has faced the same challenges. That's why some people find turning to art to be calming and even healing. Many people have experienced anxiety throughout history and over 30% of US adults experience some form of it today, so there's plenty of literature, poetry, music, and visual art out there that describes the experience and can help you feel seen.
Below, you'll find a few poems that discuss anxiety or related emotions and experiences, which you may find helpful if you're facing symptoms of anxiety yourself. Remember that seeking professional treatment for symptoms of any mental health disorder is usually recommended.
What is anxiety?
First, let's take a quick overview of what anxiety is. In the general sense, anxiety is a normal human feeling that most people will experience from time to time. It's a future-oriented emotion "characterized by apprehension and somatic symptoms of tension".
Anxiety disorders are the most common form of mental health disorder affecting people today. They can affect both adults and children. While many can be serious, they're generally manageable and/or treatable with the right support. Types of anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, and panic disorder. Symptoms may vary depending on the disorder, but generally may include:
- Persistent, uncontrollable worry
- Muscle tension
- Trouble sleeping
- A sense of dread
- Restlessness
- Nausea
- Panic attacks
Poetry about anxiety
Since anxiety can affect a person's thought patterns and daily functioning in such a significant way, it's not surprising that poetry has been written about it throughout history. For example, consider the following relevant stanza of "The Teacher's Monologue" (1846) by Charlotte Brontë:
Here, Brontë relates that although she enjoys reflecting on positive memories, "dark anxiety" finds a way to creep in and affect her even in these lighter moments. An individual experiencing anxiety may relate to her description of that feeling of worry gradually encroaching on one's mind.
Other poets direct their focus on the hope that can be associated with the possibility of symptom relief. This section of Stephen Dunn's "Poem for People that Are Understandably Too Busy to Read Poetry" is one example:
This poem is a reminder that virtually every feeling is temporary and that managing anxiety symptoms is possible with the right resources and support.
Some people find that grounding exercises can help them manage anxiety symptoms in the moment. Getting in tune with the nature around you is one way to do this—a technique that poet Rose Styron captures in her short poem, "Untitled [No One's Awake]":
While anxiety can feel overwhelming at times, it can be helpful to remember that help is available and symptom mitigation is possible. Take, for instance, the poem "Wait" by Galway Kinnell. Here, Kinnell speaks to the hopelessness that anxiety can bring but offers reasons to be hopeful even in the face of it:
Seeking treatment for anxiety
If you're experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are interfering with your life, it can be helpful to know that resources are available. In general, anxiety disorders are treatable—typically through psychotherapy, sometimes in combination with medication. A cognitive behavioral therapist in particular can help you learn to recognize distorted thoughts that may be contributing to your symptoms so you can shift them in a more balanced, healthier direction. They can also assist you in developing healthy coping mechanisms for managing distressing emotions and symptoms.
Some people with anxiety find the prospect of meeting with a therapist in person to be intimidating. In cases like these, online therapy can represent a more comfortable alternative. With a virtual therapy platform like BetterHelp, you can get matched with a licensed provider who you can meet with via phone, video call, and/or online chat to address the challenges you may be facing. Since research suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy conducted face to face and via the internet can be "equally effective," you can typically choose the format that works best for you. See below for client reviews of BetterHelp counselors.
Counselor reviews
"Dr. Munyan was so helpful! I am dealing with a lot of anxiety and he provided so many amazing ways for me to handle it better. Definitely would recommend him".
"Natasha has been a truly amazing counselor! I now feel that I have the confidence to face challenges as they come. Natasha helped me to reflect on why I might be feeling a certain way while providing me with some tools to cope with my anxiety as needed. She was incredibly understanding and helped me to set realistic goals with myself and others. Not only can I tell that our counseling sessions helped, but also others have commented on the positive changes I have made. She's awesome!"

The two-year-old was left crying her eyes out after she stumbled and took a fall on the tarmac at Hamburg Airport.
Prince William and his wife Kate – along with their children Charlotte and George – have spent the last few days in Poland and Germany.
On their final day, the family took a trip to the airport to view a pair of helicopters along with the kids at the Airbus compound.
While George was pictured looking excitably at the aircraft, his sister took a nasty bump and was left crying her eyes out.
Pictures show the girl sobbing as mum Kate came rushing to the rescue to help her back to her feet.
William looks concerned while George watches on as the Duchess of Cambridge scooped up the tot.
Cradling her daughter in her arms, Kate spoke softly to the little girl to reassure her.
Meanwhile, William got George's attention as he showed him a present the family had been given on the visit.
In the end, it was smiles again as Kate sat with Charlotte in the chopper while the little girl frowned.
George however look positively ecstatic as he clutched his face with his hands while looking around the helicopter with his dad.
He looked a far-cry from the grumpy Prince on their arrival to Germany.
George turns 4 on Saturday – and he is third in-line to the British throne after his dad and grandad Prince Charles.
Yesterday, Wills and Kate visited Heidelberg and were upstaged by a couple of locals throwing "v signs".
The five-day tour of Poland and Germany is just the second the family of four have taken all together.

A Reuters poll was just released that caused quite a stir on social media after it was discovered that one particular group has flipped on Democrats and is now supporting President Trump.
From Conservative Post:
This poll is being referred to as the "Kanye Effect" as he's turned his back on the Democrat party who is commonly chastised for taking advantage of, or targeting, people of color. The poll, of course, had only talked to 200 black males, so it was a very tiny fraction of a sample. The polls that many people use are often of much smaller samples than we wish to know. That explains why the polls come out and so many people say "why wasn't I ever asked."
The poll suggests, even in small testing numbers, that black males support for President Trump have almost doubled.
From Breitbart:
According to a Reuters poll, approval for President Trump has doubled between April 22 and April 29, from 11 percent to 22 percent.
The Daily Caller, which first unearthed this metric, suggests caution. Although that was the week music superstar Kanye West came out in support of Trump, the finding could also be statistical noise in a poll that only talked to 200 black men.
Trump's overall approval among black Americans also nearly doubled, with a jump from 8.9 percent to 16.5 percent.
Another interesting metric was on the issue of "mixed feelings." Opinions on Trump among black males were hardened on the 22nd when only 1.5 percent said they have "mixed feelings" on the president. A week later that number jumped to 7.1 percent, which would suggest Kanye West's goal of unlocking the mind to see outside the Left's Thought Plantation is reaching people.

Black Restaurant Week in the DC area and Baltimore kicks off on Monday, July 18. The celebration of Black-owned businesses, many of which are offering specials for the occasion, runs through Sunday, July 31.
Launched in 2016 by Houston-based founders Warren Luckett, Falayn Ferrell, and Derek Robinson, Black Restaurant Week, LLC is a national tour that's entering its third year in the DC area (a locally founded organization, DMV Black Restaurant Week, started in 2018 and is now an official city fixture in November). The current restaurant week highlights African American, African, and Caribbean cuisines. Over 90 participating restaurants include wild-caught seafood cafe FishScale in Shaw, Tex Mex restaurant Austin Grill in Springfield, downtown DC's French-Ethiopian restaurant Mélange, and New England-style spot All Set Restaurant & Bar in Silver Spring. This year, the organization is also bringing in more food trucks and sweets shops, including 2 Southern Belles food truck and Baltimore donut shop Cloudy Donut.
"It's the diversity that makes Black Restaurant Week so interesting and unique. Everything from barbecue to vegan—there's literally something for everyone," says Ferrell. "That's what I really love about it."
Rather than fixed-price promotions, restaurants dictate their own specials; diners find them listed on each spot's profile in the directory. Black Restaurant Week will also feature a series of events, such as a kick-off mixer on July 19th at The Delegate in Mt. Vernon Square.
This year, the celebration stretches beyond seven days with the slogan "More Than Just a Week."
"'More Than Just a Week' speaks to our commitment to support the Black culinary community throughout the entire year," says Ferrell.
In addition to participating in Black Restaurant Week, Ferrell encourages people to hire Black-owned restaurants for catering and private events, invite friends and family to Black-owned food spots, and support Black Restaurant Week's non-profit, Feed the Soul Foundation.
Last year, the organization says it generated a 15 percent sales increase across all participating restaurants in the United States and Canada. In the past two years, Feed the Soul Foundation has provided $52,000 to DC-area restaurants. The campaign will also support Black-owned restaurants by providing small business grants and business development training from Feed the Soul Foundation.
"The restaurants are really on their own right now, a lot of the government support is gone," Ferrell says, referring to pandemic-era support programs like the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. "It's really our charge to the community to help keep our local businesses open."

Yesterday the luxury market got some good news, and today the follow-up is all about one building, the neighborhood battle-surviving, PriceChopping, rooftop terrace-having Chelsea Enclave. The Journal reveals that the building's last unit is finally in contract. (To, rather romantically, the first buyer to show up at the sales office back in 2008.) Perhaps prayer works! It's a feel-good story because Chelsea Enclave's sales began on the morning Lehman Brothers collapsed. But the building didn't make it through the bust unscathed. Asking prices were originally about $2,035/square foot for the 53-unit condop, where the backyard is a park belonging to the General Theological Seminary, but actual sales prices were around $1,650/foot, or 19 percent off. Developer the Brodsky Organization still came out ahead on the project, which explains why they're coming back for more.

How To Get Gold Tires In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
In "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe," progressing through the game mainly relies on collecting coins across multiple races to unlock new karts, tires, and gliders. Only unlocking characters requires players to win races. Conversely, collecting the complete gold kart set has posed one of the biggest challenges across all of the "Mario Kart" series. Whether the player busts out the fastest kart setup in the game or an old reliable, unlocking the gold tires specifically will require prioritizing speed.
The gold tires share the exact same stats as the metal wheels, both in terms of the five basic stats displayed during vehicle customization and a separate spread of stats the title hides from players. Neoseeker has broken down both sets of stats for all characters, karts, and parts in "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe." Going with the gold tires (or metal) offers a very low stat total, but with a tradeoff of maximum weight and land speed.
The tires and other gold items aside from the gold standard kart have at least one duplicate, making these rewards mostly cosmetic. Unlike most karts and parts, players cannot unlock the gold tires through the traditional method of collecting coins.
Besting Nintendo Ghosts in Time Trials
"Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" players interested in unlocking the gold tires have to clinch 1st place in the single-player Time Trial mode for all 32 courses, racing against Nintendo staff ghosts on 150cc. Unlike your typical 12-player race, the player only has to best the time of one ghost per course. As per tradition with Time Trial modes across the "Mario Kart" series, the courses feature no items except for three mushrooms granted to the player from the start of the race.
Attack of the Fanboy recommended studying the route each ghost takes so the player can keep up — easily done by selecting the "View Ghost" option. Players can also put their boost mushrooms to good use making it across offroad shortcuts or wide turns. Notably, although no item boxes present themselves on Time Trial maps, players can still collect up to 10 coins to bump up their speed.
Of course, drifting and using mushrooms becomes more difficult on the notoriously unforgiving Rainbow Road: two of them in the base game. A kart with decent-to-great traction can help, but it may mean a lower top speed. As shown by YouTuber GamerJGB, the safest bet often involves sticking to the inner side of curves while drifting.
Players who persevere to unlock the full gold kart and Gold Mario in "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" can truly ride with speed, glamor, and satisfaction at having earned the game's ultimate achievements.

The Myanmar military raided Ohn Nauk Village in Sagaing Region's Pale Township from January 10-12, employing four helicopters in an attempt to capture Pale People's Defense Force (PDF) leader Bo Nagar dead or alive. Pale PDF has inflicted heavy casualties on junta troops under the leadership of Bo Nagar.
The PDF leader was elsewhere during the raid. Bo Nagar spoke recently to The Irrawaddy about the fighting in his town.
When did clashes break out between junta troops and local resistance fighters in Pale?
We have been fighting them since around the end of April.
Are you worried that the regime is employing large numbers of troops to capture you dead or alive?
Yes, I have concerns. But I am also prepared for it. I have left behind those who I was attached to. Now, I have only the people to love and rely on. I have chosen to live for the people over my own life as the country is suffering. I know that there are risks. But even before I risked my neck, I had to sacrifice a lot. I know that there will be more dangers ahead.
But I keep pushing ahead. Meanwhile, I have taught and nurtured young people as much as I can so that they can replace me if I die. So there are many people like me now even if I die. They are not yet a significant presence just because I am still here. But I want to say that there are many people like me now. I have concerns [about my safety]. Other people might also have concerns. But I try not to worry too much and I would like to urge the people not to worry.
Junta forces recently raided Ohn Nauk Village on a tip that you were there. They even used four helicopters in the raid. What do you say about that?
The military regime, after they have fought with us, knows how dangerous I am to them. And they also know through their military informants how much moral support I give to local people.
So perhaps they [the junta] view me as their worst enemy. But even if they kill me, there are already many people like me. They [the regime] might not know that there are many people who can replace me now.
Do you feel like the regime is attacking you personally?
They seem to think that resistance will die away if I am killed. But I have inspired many young people, not only in my township but also in other parts of the country, to continue fighting injustice. The junta may be able to defeat me alone. But they cannot prevent the rise of a new generation of brave revolutionaries.
The regime should understand that people loathe them as they are forced to bow down before them. So I urge the regime leaders and followers to surrender and apologize to the people for their sins. Although they are the villains of the country, they can still win the respect of the people in the end if they do apologize.
What are your concerns for civilians in Pale?
I have a lot of concerns for the people here. As I have built an organization that is concerned with all of Myanmar, I have to make many trips. Things happened in Pale during my first trip and, even though I was away, I was concerned about my town.
I am concerned that civilians will be killed and tortured and that resistance fighters will be harmed. I have trained them mentally and physically as much as I can. Although I have left my township, I didn't leave for my own safety. I went away to make preparations and to do what it takes to achieve liberty for our country.
What do you say to people who are concerned about your safety?
Don't worry about me. Just worry that our country remains under the rule of the evil.
What do you want to say about the resistance movement?
This revolution was born out of our witnessing violence and brutality. There will inevitably be pain and difficulties, as the revolution was born out of the sufferings people have endured for too long. Please stay strong at this moment. There will be hardship in this revolution as we are facing the most unscrupulous people.
Think about the hell-like consequences that we might have to face if this revolution fails. So please continue to take part in this revolution with bravery and dignity as citizens who are dutiful to their country and as parents who are dutiful to the younger generations.
Once we are united, this revolution will reach its goal smoothly. The military regime is in chaos even though only a few people are fighting. Bearing that in mind, the whole country should rise and take an active part in this revolution.

There's a 16% price difference between the GT70 Brindisi and the Pegasus Grande Brindisi, but this isn't just a wider version of last year's van. Spec bumps for the GT70 are now standard, and the extra space makes the super-size Brindisi a compelling proposition.
Spacious lounge and bedroom
Clever storage
You need to be happy with towing an 8ft-wide van
Full marks to Bailey for boldly reworking its mid-market range, something acknowledged by our Tourer of the Year 2019 judges when they bestowed Best Seasonal Tourer on the twin-axle Messina. But what about the single-axle models?
We're going to take a look at the Brindisi, an island-bed end-washroom four-berth with an MTPLM of 1490kg, and one of three floorplans carried over from last season.
Bailey decided to welcome the line-up back to 'standard' status by making the whole range eight feet wide. In doing so, it joins other members of the Big Five in meeting a growing demand for more spacious tourers that might spend most of their time on a seasonal pitch, rather than being towed from site to site.
But the 'Grande' doesn't just address the girth of this line-up. Some elements of the enhanced Pegasus GT70 spec have been retained.
Chief among these is Al-Ko's ATC anti-snaking system, which is standard fit – and really ought to be fitted to a caravan of this size – and a solar panel.
The Pegasus Grande Brindisi retains the same shipping length as the GT70 version, so let's see what Bailey has done with the extra width available.
Used by two or six people, the G-shaped front living quarters are super flexible
Pitching & Setting-up
With that MTPLM of 1490kg, you're looking at the likes of a medium-sized SUV to tow the Brindisi. And, at not far short of 7.5m long, the Brindisi is hefty; so we'd imagine most buyers would opt for a motor mover.
Mains hook-up connections are made on the nearside, with water on the offside.
As has become a staple on Bailey caravans, there's no front gas locker – the bottles are stored in a compartment situated ahead of the offside axle.
Controls for essential services are just inside the entrance door on the right – although don't look here for the Truma Combi 4 controls, which are on the left-hand end of the kitchen unit.
Along with the increased width, the Brindisi's other unique selling point has to be its G-shaped lounge. Although L-shaped lounges do crop up in contemporary British-built tourers – think Buccaneer's Barracuda – Bailey's G-lounge is something a bit different. Here, the 'L' shape is extended to have three sides, with a single seat at its end making the 'G'. You can use the seat to face the lounge, or the front of the van.
If choosing the latter, the occasional table on a rail under the nearside window will provide a mini-dinette for two. Larger parties can be catered for by adding the folding-leaf table that stows under the island bed. So whether being used by two or by six, the Pegasus Grande's G-shaped font living quarters are super flexible. However, this does mean buyers will forgo the traditional centre chest.
The Brindisi's lounge is fitted with 'Eucalyptus' cabinetwork and 'Kempton' soft furnishings.
All six of the large Pegasus models retain the large vertical front window, so it's no surprise that, with four other windows and a rooflight, this space benefits from lots of natural light.
In a supporting role you'll find over-locker ambient lighting and four directional spotlights. These have up to four USB sockets.
There are similarities to the Unicorn in the Brindisi's offside kitchen. Chief of these is the wooden flap above the cooker, with a dual-fuel hob over the oven and grill.
To the left is the square metal sink, as seen in the Unicorn, atop a wide drawer with a positive catch. Underneath that is a large cupboard with barn doors. Bailey has fitted a pair of mains sockets on the left of the kitchen unit.
Across the gangway is a dual-fuel fridge with separate freezer compartment and, above the dresser, a microwave.
If the Brindisi is sleeping four, the end might not be the ideal washroom location, as any traffic towards the rear of the van could disturb those in the island bed.
For use by a couple, though, this won't be a problem and the washroom exploits the full width of the van. There's lots of space between the rear corner shower cubicle and the cassette toilet at the opposite end, enhanced by a wide mirror over the vanity unit.
A heating vent makes this space ideal for dressing if some privacy is required, and Bailey has included a pair of hooks for bathrobes or towels.
In recent years, island beds have supplanted French beds in the popularity stakes, so fans of this feature will feel at home in the Brindisi's bedroom. At 6ft 3in by 4ft 7in, the bed should meet the needs of most couples, and it's flanked by two wardrobes with a handy shelf below each.
There are two LED spotlights under the lockers, a rooflight and window at the foot of the bed, and a small dresser to the left of the window.
A concertina partition slides across to separate this bedroom from the front lounge, where the make-up double exploits the van's 8ft width to measure a very respectable 7ft 3in by 3ft 11in.
With 155kg to play with, the Brindisi's payload is in the right bracket for couples. There are four overhead lockers in the lounge and kitchen, plus two in the bedroom, as well as two front corner cubbyholes, and the two wardrobes and two cupboards in the bedroom. The island bed also offers a large storage cavity.
But there's more. All four models with G-lounges get the benefit of a 'through boot'. This is a storage space running across the full width of the front of the caravan, which can be loaded via hatches on either side.

SSIDs with underscores - Printable Version +- CBMSTUFF FORUM (https://www.cbmstuff.com/forum) +-- Forum: CBMSTUFF PRODUCTS (https://www.cbmstuff.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=1) +--- Forum: WiModem (https://www.cbmstuff.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=75) +--- Thread: SSIDs with underscores (/showthread.php?tid=454) |
SSIDs with underscores - c64Noob - 01-20-2018 Just a heads up for other people that have a "_" (underscore) in their SSID name... They're not supported in older versions of the firmware. So when you first get your device and you can't connect up and you happen to have an underscore in your SSID - change your SSID to something simple. Then connect up as normal, then update firmware, then change your SSID back to what it was, and then re-setup with your fancy SSID with the underscore. For me, I like to have _optout at the end of my SSID because I don't like Wifi Sense (Win10). This was true for me on the WiModem232 and the WiModem (C64). Both great products! RE: SSIDs with underscores - admin - 01-20-2018 Underscore characters have always worked, it is space characters that do not. You can always use the AT*NSx command to select any SSID (even those with space characters). |

Ex-world champion boxer Hanna Gabriels gave birth to a daughter at 1:30 p.m. on Monday.
Her publicist told the daily La Nación that the child and mother are in good health at CIMA hospital in Escazú, southwest of the capital. Her husband, Bryan "Tiquito" Vásquez, – also a Costa Rican boxer – accompanied Gabriels in the hospital room. Earlier in the day, the couple posted to Hanna Gabriels Facebook page a photo in the hospital with the caption "Ready to have a baby."
Gabriels held the World Boxing Organization light-middleweight title until February 2013, when she was knocked out by Dominican fighter Oxandia "La Loba" Castillo. Gabriels became pregnant shortly after the loss. The Tica boxer said she hopes to get in the ring to earn back the championship by the end of the year.
UPDATE: Gabriels and Vásquez announced that they named their daughter Mia. Here's a family portrait from Gabriels' Facebook page:

Overwatch has over 30 characters that every play in a different way and equally to at least one one other, this makes strategizing crucial to a match's success and will make all of the distinction between a blowout or an in depth name time beyond regulation victory.
Tanks have modified from Overwatch 1, from altering the meta from two tanks to only one to main reworks like with Orisa, this places new gamers on a considerably extra even floor with OG Overwatch gamers as they now must relearn a personality.
The most recent tank to enter the fray at launch was Junker Queen, a personality teased years in the past by way of principally title dropping when it got here to the tales of JunkRat and Roadhog, she will be able to change into an actual drawback in the fitting palms and might even setup multi-kills for his or her DPS (Injury Per Second) teammates.
So, lets discuss her royal highness of the apocalypse and how one can deliver the ache!
Making her official debut as a playable character in season 1 of Overwatch 2, Junker Queen has some massive tank boots to fill as extra acquainted tanks, like Doomfist and D.VA, are identified to have the ability to maintain their very own in terms of frontline fight.
Normally tanks do effectively with drawing aggro away from their teammates and taking great amount of injury, some tanks excel at defending whereas different are mainly DPS with a considerable amount of well being, Junker Queen is certainly the latter.
As talked about earlier than, Doomfist and D.Va are nice with charging into battle and inflicting harm, they excel at drawing aggro and distracting enemy gamers. Junker Queen follows that development as she has a number of methods to assault and disrupt opponents.
That is all state of affairs primarily based, in fact, and all of it depends upon the sport mode being performed. Earlier than we get into mode conditions, we're going to speak about Junker Queen fundamentals.
The Fundamentals
Junker Queen has a pump motion shotgun that may be shot six occasions earlier than needing to be reloaded, her Scattergun has respectable vary and is brutal up shut, this may also help push opposing gamers again as many will attempt to keep away from an in depth encounter.
The one actual flaw to the Scattergun is the low ammo depend, Junker Queen gamers may be simply caught off guard if they're being encountered by a DPS character that has excessive mobility.
Subsequent is the Jagged Blade, this knife is Junker Queens finest weapon and can be utilized to nice impacts when you get an actual really feel for the timing. The blade is thrown at opponents and can follow them upon contact and trigger a 'bleeding' have an effect on, slowly draining a small quantity of well being. For those who name the blade again, through the use of the identical button to throw it, you'll pull your opponent in the direction of you and might proceed your assault utilizing the Scattergun.
Even for those who miss your goal initially, the blade will nonetheless trigger bleeding to any enemy gamers that get caught within the blade's path again to you, this offers Junker Queen gamers a technique to trick enemy gamers into pondering that they could be getting attacked from the rear.
Carnange is a huge ax that Junker Queen carries on her again, when used, the ax will trigger a bleeding have an effect on just like the blade, the largest distinction between the Jagged Blade and Carnage is that the ax can hit a number of opponents directly and might even take out decrease well being characters in a single swing.
The largest flaw with Carnage is the wind-up time, not like the blade, Carnage takes a bit of time to swing, and gamers are locked in till the animation is finished, this leaves Junker Queen uncovered to enemy assaults and may be taken benefit of a number of characters are attacking concurrently.
Commanding Shout is a capability that grants Junker Queen, and any ally with the radius, a short lived well being and motion enhance. This capacity may be very useful to save lots of an ally who's low on well being whereas ready for healers or a good way to shortly get your crew again on a management level.
This capacity has an extended fifteen second cooldown, gamers will should be very cautious how and once they use this capacity, the timing is vital and may very well be the distinction to Junker Queen holding a degree lengthy sufficient for her crew to respawn or her getting trapped in a nook with no means out.
Lastly, Junker Queen's final capacity, Rampage.
This capacity pushes Junker Queen ahead and wounds any enemy caught in her path like Carnage and the Jagged Blade, what makes Rampage such a harmful capacity is that it not solely causes bleeding like the 2 aforementioned talents, nevertheless it additionally briefly stops opponents from with the ability to heal or be healed.
Using Junker Queen
Now that now we have a primary outlook of Junker Queen lets check out a number of the finest methods to make use of her talents in numerous modes.
In each escort and hybrid mode Junker Queen is an actual drawback, and that's as a consequence of characters needing to be on the purpose to be able to transfer/declare it, they're pressured to be considerably near Junker Queen and her terrifying ax, in these modes gamers are going to wish to play very aggressive and scare enemies away from the target.
Gamers ought to make nice use of Carnage and the Jagged Blade in opposition to tanks, this may assist throw them off as they may need give attention to eliminating the character that may drain their well being, DPS will attempt to keep away from Carnage and healers will run as they don't wish to meet the tip of the Jagged Blade.
Whereas attacking it's key to shortly draw aggro and draw tanks away out of your teammates, the primary push can set the whole really feel of the match, if the defenders get a foothold with holding your crew again, chances are high that they may hold the onslaught going.
defending crew may have their healers watch over the tanks, so make use of the Jagged Blade when attainable to do harm to them from a distance whereas nonetheless specializing in drawing consideration to your self, as a consequence of their low well being, healers usually tend to flee and depart their tank weak.
Use Carnage on tanks to make up for the damages you could have missed out on as a consequence of healers' intervention, tanks usually tend to face off in opposition to Junker Queen to maintain her from selecting off their DPS.
In contrast to different tanks, Junker Queen can actually put the squeeze on the opposing crew and hold them from attending to the target, she will be able to suppress opponents at their spawn level due to her capacity to assault from each shut and lengthy vary. The opposite tanks with this capacity are Orisa, Winston and Wrecking Ball (Relying on the participant expertise, in fact, these characters are simply the simplest to make use of to suppress enemies at their spawn level).
Whereas getting used to taking part in Junker Queen, gamers ought to first see who they've for healers on their crew, a harmful pairing for Junker Queen is Zenyatta and Mercy, if in case you have both of those two attempt to experiment with getting near your opponents and utilizing Carnage. Getting your timing proper with the ax may also help tackle a number of enemies throughout these essential last seconds when everyone begins to congregate on the target in a determined try to finish the match.
Getting aggressive will scare your opponents again and may also help your crew make that preliminary push ahead, which is arguably the toughest a part of Push, however what about defending?
The identical technique for attacking truly applies for defending too, bear in mind when it was mentioned that Junker Queen was one the simplest characters to make use of for spawn level suppression? Nicely, that's going to be your beginning transfer, take the wind away out of your opponents early by chewing away well being with Jagged Blade and punishing tanks with Carnage.
Now that the opposing crew is aware of you're going to be aggressive, they're going to attempt to give attention to taking you out as early as attainable, this distraction will give your DPS teammates the optimum probability to essentially hit them and trigger frustration.
In the case of different modes like push and management issues change up a bit of bit, in these modes your opponents can transfer round a bit of extra freely as soon as the purpose has been captured, in these modes it's very simple on your crew to get separated and depart Junker Queen to fend for herself because the healers have to maneuver round rather more to attempt to shield the DPS.
Healers principally keep within the again in these modes as they now have extra wiggle room to retreat and get backup, so attacking them will take a bit extra effort for Junker Queen gamers, the Jagged Blade is your finest wager in these modes to catch healers and pull them in the direction of you to complete them off.
In contrast to with Hybrid and escort, it is best to work on throwing the Jagged Blade, as talked about earlier than, this may assist quail healers however it is going to additionally punish DPS gamers attacking you from vary and convey them nearer to your taking part in discipline.
Management is the one mode the place you possibly can truly ignore the tank, as an alternative eliminate their helps, DPS and healers will attempt to keep out of your vary whereas their tank offers heavy harm upfront. Junker Queen can disrupt this together with her aggressive talents and trigger them to flee from their tank and giving your crew an opportunity to place the harm on the lone defender.
It's time to speak about countering the Queen, it's essential to know what characters can put an early finish to Junker Queen's reign, with this you possibly can tackle the Queen or keep away from pricey errors.
Mobility characters are a determent to Junker Queen, for those who rush her with a excessive mobility character like Moira, Genji, Lucio or Sojourn, you possibly can trigger her nice complications and distract her from going after you crew and even purchase your tank a while to succeed in you and assist.
Attacking Junker Queen with DPS can work, if in case you have the fitting character, Sojourns capacity to maneuver shortly and ship harm even quicker can pull the eye from Junker Queen gamers. Junkrat's capacity to lob his grenades at nice distances together with the power to launch himself to security may also hold gamers on edge.
Attempt forcing Junker Queen to make use of her Commanding Shout shortly, this alerts to your crew that she is on her final legs and everyone must push on her now, Pharah works finest due to airborne capacity retaining her out of attain.
Right here's an inventory of characters to make use of/keep away from in terms of Junker Queen:
- Orisa: She will be able to get simply as aggressive and might even push Junker Queen again, giving her crew some respiration room, Orisa can also be nice at taking harm and drawing aggro.
- Winston: due to his defend, Winston can get fairly near Junker Queen and never fear about any of her assaults, even when she goes into the bubble Winston has already began dealing harm. Winston's slam is nice at catching Junker Queen off guard and even escaping from her if wanted.
- Zarya: Zarya's bubble can null the bleeding impacts on her or her teammate(s), and since Junker Queen is an aggressive character, there's an excellent probability that enemy gamers will 'feed' Zarya's bubble and provide you with extra energy to do harm with.
- Wrecking Ball: This 'little' man has essentially the most mobility within the tank class, combine that with a slam capacity not too totally different from Winston and you bought an issue on you hand. He can roll right into a ball and make a fast retreat, and even chase down enemies, and he delivers harm with respectable pace.
- Bastion: Actually this one is a bit iffy, a superb Bastion participant is only a drawback regardless of who you've got, however along with his capacity to show right into a cell gatling gun Bastion can eat away at Junker Queen if she's caught off guard.
- Junkrat: As talked about earlier than, Junkrat is a superb DPS counter due to his talents to deal fixed harm and no actual must intention, his metal lure can also be key to halting an aggressive Junker Queen participant.
- Pharah: Her flight capacity will assist keep away from any of Junker Queens assault and she will be able to disrupt by drawing Junker Queen's consideration and pushing her away from any teammate in want of help.
- Sojourn: After Pharah, Sojourn could also be one of the best DPS character to tackle Junker Queen, her energy slide can be utilized to create a niche between her and Junker Queen whereas nonetheless attacking. Combine in that the ability slide can flip right into a excessive leap, and you've got a personality that may actually run and gun in opposition to the Queen.
Now that you've a primary understanding of Junker Queen you possibly can go forth and rule the wasteland, needless to say that is season 1 Junker Queen and the crew at Blizzard are all the time altering heroes and their talents, so all the time hold a watch out for any official bulletins from Blizzard relating to any and all characters.
For those who loved this small information to Junker Queen tell us within the feedback, and if you wish to see me be completely horrible at Overwatch 2 you could find me on Twitch the place I placed on a courageous face and faux that I do know what I'm doing, you can even observe me on Twitter.

Before we get into the differences between i7 and i9 processors, let us first understand what computer processors are. A Processor, also known as the CPU, or "central processing unit," performs all the essential functions of a computer. Processors have components called "Cores".
Each "Core" acts as an individual processing unit. CPUs with 2 cores are called dual-core processors, 4 cores= quad-core, 6 cores= hexa-core, and so on. Some high end computers even have Octa-core processors.
In This Article
- The Intel Core i7 processors may have up to 6 cores but the i9 processors may have as many as 18 cores that will operate at a higher clock speed.
- The gaming experience on a core i9 processor will be much better offering a much higher frame rate as compared to an Intel i7 processor.
- The core i7 processors are cheaper and are available widely but the Intel i9 processors are costlier but come with higher cache storage.
- The Intel Core i9 processor will be able to handle much heavier and more intensive computing tasks in comparison to an Intel Core i7 processor.
5 Differences Between Core i7 and i9 Processors
1. The Basic Difference
Core i7 processors have up to 6 cores and 12 threads, giving them the upper hand over the best quad-core variants. With a Core i7 CPU, multitasking several substantial programs
together is a smooth experience with little to no lag.
The Intel Core i9, introduced in 2017, contains up to 18 Cores and 36 Threads, with a new socket-motherboard combination. The Intel Core i9 is a dream for users who use their PCs for purposes like 3D modeling, Game Designing, competitive gaming, and other such CPU-heavy work.
2. Clock Speeds
There is a difference between the Intel Core i7 and the Core i9, when it comes to clocking speeds. The Core i9 has a higher clock speed and can be overclocked at 2.9 GHz or 4.8 GHz.
The Core i7 can be overclocked to 2.6 GHz or 4.3 GHz. The Core i7 can store only 9 MB of cache while the Core i9 can hold 12 MB of cache. These "cache" primarily help the processor remember and perform regular functions of the user on the computer, but at a much faster pace.
3. Gaming Performance
When it comes to gaming, the i9 performs significantly better. With AAA titles like "Rise of The Tomb Raider," "Grand Theft Auto 5", and "The Witcher 3", which require pretty gaming-heavy hardware, tested alongside the Nvidia GeForce GTX1080ti GPUs, the i9 processor delivers between 90-120 fps on average, which more than decent.
The i7, however, with the same benchmark test, delivers frames between 60-80 per second, which is not bad at all but is second to the i9.
4. Video Transcoding Benchmark Test
This benchmark tests how long it will take a machine with the respective processors to transcode 12 minutes and 30 seconds 4k video to 1080p.
- The Intel Core i7 takes 546 seconds to transcode the whole thing.
- The Intel Core i9 takes 511 seconds to do the same thing.
5. Selling Points
Core i7
- Higher Clock Speeds
- Cheaper and more accessible to the average user.
Core i9
- More cores
- More cache storage
- Higher core speeds
- Hyperthreading, allowing for smoother use of performance-heavy applications, and greater efficiency while multitasking.
Which is Better- Core i7, or Core i9?
From a technical standpoint, the Intel Core i9 processors are "better," with higher core-count and higher clock speeds, allowing for faster and seamless work.
However, when practically applied and tested on massive programs like AAA games and video editing software, there's not much of a difference.
The real difference is shown while doing Industry heavy work like Photoshop, 3d modeling, Texturing, etc., which require a significant amount of CPU usage.
This is where the i9 outshines the i7 faster performance and little to no lag. Check out the differences between core i5 and i7 processor.
In conclusion, if you are a digital artist, or your work revolves around CPU heavy usages like 3D modeling, Compositing, Game designing, etc., then the Intel Core i9 is the way to go.
However, if you are a casual user or a competitive gamer with a budget to maintain, the Intel Core i7 is more than enough to suit your needs.

The infiltrations of synthetic coal slag into 99%Al 2O 3, 85%Al 2O 3-15%SiO 2, and 90%Cr 2O 3-10%Al 2O 3 refractories with a temperature gradient induced along the penetration direction were compared to one another. The infiltrating slag was synthesized with a composition that is representative of an average of the ash contents from U S coal feedstock. Experiments were conducted with a hot-face temperature of 1450°C in a CO/CO 2 atmosphere. Minimal penetration was observed in the 90%Cr 2O 3-10%Al 2O 3 material because interactions between the refractory and the slag produced a protective layer of FeCr 2O 4, which impeded slag flow into the bulk of the refractory. After 5 h, the 99%Al 2O 3 sample exhibited an average penetration of 12.7 mm whereas the 85%Al 2O 3-15%SiO 2 sample showed 3.8 mm. Slag infiltrated into the 99%Al 2O 3 and 85%Al 2O 3-15%SiO 2 refractory systems by dissolving the respective refractories' matrix materials, which consist of fine Al 2O 3 particles and an amorphous alumino-silicate phase. Due to enrichment in SiO 2, a network-former, infiltration into the 85%Al 2O 3- 15%SiO 2 system yielded a higher viscosity slag and hence, a shallower penetration depth. The results suggest that slag infiltration can be limited by interactions with the refractory through the formation of either a solid layer that physically impedes fluid flow or a more viscous slag that retards infiltration.

Digital twins help with failure management
India is preparing to mould into a global manufacturing hub, with 5G and digitisation fuelling the growth of the manufacturing industry.
Various technologies are driving the digitisation of the manufacturing value chain. This has facilitated integrated product development right from ideation and conceptualisation to the design and development of a product. This approach is critical to industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive and healthcare.
The Internet of Things (IoT) which includes both industrial and consumer IoT, has a transformative effect on digital manufacturing. "IoT unlocks solutions for gaining visibility into manufacturing at the shop floor level through dashboards as well as providing a control mechanism for processes in the shop floor. Factories become smart and paperless and operations can be monitored remotely. Precise predictability in running a factory and visibility to the operations are other highlights," said Karthikeyan Neelakandan, associate vice president, Infosys Ltd.
An IoT platform can be used to monitor the data and test changes (if any) that are being made along the manufacturing chain. As factories become smart, digitisation will replace manual operations. "When there's a problem, it takes a long time for the data to be passed on to the design department because the traditional approach encourages each department to work in silos and not together," said Rohit Mallya, Indish Technologies FZE.
Silos need to be broken. In the absence of silos, when the product is being designed, the methods engineer can partake in the design outlay and help fine-tune the design, as well as determining its value and cost. The next step would involve the operations engineer, who can give a feedback on the product. Dashboards give a visual update on the entire process. Performance levels are laid out visually. The data updates can be processed for improving efficiencies.
Besides improving the design quotient, digitisation also helps streamline processes. It helps move the material within the shop floor and facilitates seamless connectivity between the machines and supply components. The potential of the digital medium can be harnessed through platform based technologies, analytics, sensors and gateways used to communicate between the backend operations and sensors. Programmable logic controllers enable the process. Cost reduction, agility, operational efficiency, improving the safety and driving utilisation are outcomes that India can hope to achieve by embracing digital manufacturing significantly.
Digital twinning is a driving force in the manufacturing operations. This helps in system replication, which in turn, helps in detecting and predicting the possible reasons for failure. That makes digital twinning a more cost-effective way of failure management.
"A digital twin is a virtual presentation of the logical and the functional model of the whole. And we are able to see how the model behaves in the virtual way, quite like the manner in which it would have behaved in the physical part," explained Mallya.
If you are able to connect the two and take a feedback from the physical to the point of virtual discharge, decision-making becomes easier. Then, once the cause for the production loss is identified, there's greater clarity to implement the same in the physical environment.
A definitive influence on manufacturing is 5G. Characterised by low latency and high bandwidth, 5G will provide the necessary fillip for manufacturing units. The fact that it supports devices in one location and provides interconnectivity between machines will make it a must-have in the manufacturing chain. Robots will undertake tasks in assembly units and security drones will monitor visitor entries into manufacturing firms. This will soon be a reality in the manufacturing industry, thanks to 5G, combined with artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing networks.
It's understandable that the countries which will leapfrog to 5G will be the leaders in the next decade. 5G will transform the manufacturing industry. Technologies like augmented reality will combine with 5G to enable the shop floor staff to work skillfully. Likewise, the concept of software-defined networks will become prevalent.
"With the anticipated adoption and adaptation of 5G networks for various industries, the software defined networks becomes very important. Software defined networks will drive efficient network configuration in order to improve the performance and monitoring," explained Kartheikeyan.
Besides 5G, Industry 4.0 is making inroads into the manufacturing chain. Automation, both the virtual and physical kind, will enhance the floor operations of the manufacturing industry. Automation will help gauge the actual requirement of the product which will be executed by the production process. All this will happen autonomously without human intervention.
Bharat Fritz Werner Ltd has arrived at a device for the shop floor operations. "Iris, our in-house device is conceived, designed, developed and manufactured in India. Iris can communicate with any equipment on the shop floor. It comes with the cloud connectivity as well as on-premise connectivity, complete with data integrity and security," added Jagannath V, business head, Bharat Fritz Werner Ltd. It takes into account the consumable setup, analysis, process tests, traceability on the shop floor and energy monitoring. In short, Iris is a single integrated solution with a secure cloud-based infrastructure.
Such digitised solutions, both customised as well as generic ones, make for smart(er) factories. These are the factories of the future. "How we adopt technology to differentiate us from others is crucial. And offer our value proposition, not just a geopolitical safety, but value proposition that is comparable to the best in the world," cautioned Priyesh Chaudhary, partner, PwC.
A digitally skilled workforce is required to optimise the assets and technologies used to enable digitisation. IT is becoming more efficient and has eliminated a lot of non-manufacturing processes. "We need to manufacture better products at a low price. We hope to look at the new emerging technologies, which will help us become the chosen manufacturing destination of the world," summed up Aman Choudhari, past chairman, CII Karnataka.
All this was discussed at the recent CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) Karnataka Digital Manufacturing Summit 2020 online event, held under the banner of 'Building the Future & Accelerating the growth of Manufacturing Post COVID -19'.

Start an art blog
Blogging might seem a little old-school now but it's still an effective way to gain a name for yourself as an artist.

You can also share tips and tricks for other aspiring artists or talk about the ins and outs of building a small art-based business.
Not only will your blog help you to gain more interest in your artwork but it will also enhance your website's visibility on Google and other search engines. Including lots of art-related terms in your blog content will increase the chances of your website appearing at the top of search engine results pages.

An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination. Because the wavelength of an electron can be up to 100,000 times shorter than that of visible light photons, the electron microscope has a higher resolving power than a light microscope and can reveal the structure of smaller objects. A transmission electron microscope can achieve better than 50 pm resolution and magnifications of up to about 10,000,000x whereas most light microscopes are limited by diffraction to about 200 nm resolution and useful magnifications below 2000x.
The transmission electron microscope uses electrostatic and electromagnetic lenses to control the electron beam and focus it to form an image. These electron optical lenses are analogous to the glass lenses of an optical light microscope. Electron microscopes are used to investigate the ultrastructure of a wide range of biological and inorganic specimens including microorganisms, cells, large molecules, biopsy samples, metals, and crystals. Industrially, the electron microscope is often used for quality control and failure analysis. Modern electron microscopes produce electron micrographs using specialized digital cameras and frame grabbers to capture the image. (Source: WikiPedia)

A 24-year-old man from Hyderabad, who had arrived in Goa with a friend last week, died due to suspected overdose of drugs after partying at a popular rave club in the beach village of Anjuna, police said on Monday. A police spokesperson said the deceased, identified as Shashank Sharma, was partying at the club located 20 km from Panaji on Sunday afternoon when the incident occurred.
"He felt uneasy after he left the club, following which he was referred to the Goa Medical College Hospital in Bambolin where he expired late on Sunday," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Police sources said that before he passed out, Sharma told his friend that he had consumed a tablet at the club, which had a rave party going on, which made him feel uneasy.
However, the police said that a post-morterm examination had been conducted and it could only be confirmed if it was a drug overdose, after the medical reports are published. A case has been registered and the police are expected to check CCTV footage and speak to the management of the club to find out what exactly took place.
Anjuna beach in Goa, favoured by tourists, is also known to be a hotspot for the sale of drugs like LSD, Cocaine and MDMA. Drugs from Goa also find their way to Hyderabad frequently.
In February this year, the Hyderabad city police arrested a 19-year-old BBA student from the city, along with a Nigerian national and a Goa-based businessman for selling LSD via Snapchat.
The Task Force police of the Central Zone made the arrests, and seized 75 stamps of LSD blots besides three packets of ganja, 30 grams of charas and one gram of heroin.
Speaking to reporters, the police said that the accused would update his status on SnapChat and take advance orders after informing them that he was travelling to Goa, where he bought the drugs.
