Recently, we covered how you can create a shortcut to open the classic Shutdown dialog in Windows 10. While the mentioned trick works as expected, Windows 10 does not provide any way to change the default Shutdown command in the classic Shutdown dialog. In this article, we will see how to set that.
RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performancePersonally, I like the classic Shutdown dialog more than the other possible ways to shutdown Windows 10 because it gives me a confirmation. Thankfully it is still possible to create a shortcut to open it. However, to change its default action, we need to use the Registry Editor. Microsoft removed all settings from the user interface, so it is not possible to tweak it from the GUI.
To set the default action for the Shutdown Dialog in Windows 10, do the following.
- Open Registry Editor (see our detailed tutorial about Registry Editor if you are not familiar with the Registry).
- Go to the following Registry key:
Tip: See how to open the desired registry key with one click.
- Create a new DWORD value named Start_PowerButtonAction. This value controls the default action in the classic Shut Down dialog which is displayed when you press the Alt + F4 hotkey at the Desktop.Set it to one of the following values in decimals depending on what you want the default action to be:
2 = set "Shut down" as the default action
4 = set "Restart" as the default action
256 = set "Switch user" as the default action
1 = set "Sign out" as the default action
16 = set "Sleep" as the default action
64 = set "Hibernate" as the default action. Note that Sleep and Hibernate action can be unavailable in the Shut Down Windows dialog, if you have disabled them in the Power Options Control Panel or if your system does not support sleep mode.
To save you time, you can use Winaero Tweaker. The option is located under Behavior\Default Action for Shut Down dialog.
You can download the app from here:
That's it. Now you can set the desired action as the default for the Shut Down Windows dialog in Windows 10.

The 1795 Statistical Accounts
The 1845 Statistical Accounts
A short introduction to the Statistical Accounts of Scotland
Many people today think of statistics as just figures and tables. In Scotland in the 1790s, 'statistics' was a fairly new word. Sir John Sinclair, Member of Parliament for Caithness at Westminster, had heard it from the Germans who used it to refer to a collection of facts about the political strength of a country. The new word was very close to the word 'state'. Sir John took the notion much further. He wanted a collection of information about the economic and social activities and the natural resources of Scotland.
Known as 'Agricultural Sir John' for his interests in estate improvement and work for the Board of Agriculture, Sinclair had two aims in mind. In 'Enlightenment' Scotland, the increase in well-ordered knowledge was quite simply a good thing in itself. This was also the age of the encyclopaedia. He was sure that his collection of well-ordered facts based on responses by ministers in each of the 938 parishes of Scotland to 166 queries would form an account of 'the quantum of happiness' of the communities of Scotland and also be a 'means of future improvement'. Sinclair did not aim to provide information to the government so that the Scotland's resources could be exploited in time of war. A copy of his queries can be found in Volume 20, Page 20 of the 'old' Statistical Account. Everything from changing fashions in dress to the different attitudes to smallpox inoculation and resulting high infant mortality between the north and south of Scotland can be studied in the Statistical Account.
The ministers' responses covered topics such as agriculture, antiquities, industrial production, population and natural history, and some were long in coming back. Sir John, however, was patient and eventually, after sending Statistical Missionaries' to hurry up late entries and a 'final demand' written in red ink, the 21 volumes were complete by 1799.
These books were part of a world of turnips and steam engines, of growing cities and expanding trade, of cotton mills and newly drained fields. It was no accident that 'statistics' was added to other new words and new meanings like 'science' and 'political economy'. The Statistical Account joined Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (published in 1776) and the Encyclopaedia Britannica (first published in Edinburgh between 1768 and 1771), on the bookshelf. Many other nations, from the Irish to the Swiss followed, but few could match the disciplined and engaging clarity of Sir John and his army of ministers. These detailed parish reports provided then and now quite extraordinary, even revolutionary, ways of looking at the world, hence their excitement as a source for historians.
In 1832, the clergy were once again asked to describe their parishes, this time by the Committee of the Society for the Sons and Daughters of the Clergy, who had benefited from sales of the first Statistical Account. It felt that the time was ripe for a new edition because of the great changes which had taken place in Scotland since the 1790s. The New Statistical Account was written mostly in the 1830s and published in parts from 1834, finally being issued as 15 volumes in 1845. So great were the changes that the Committee advertised 'in a great measure, the Statistical Account of a new country'. Used together, the two accounts make 'the close investigation of its actual state, industrial, social and moral' very rewarding.
The original
volumes can be consulted in the National Library of Scotland and in
public and academic libraries and archives. The first two statistical
accounts have been made available here in digital form to make it
easier for everyone to use them and allow in depth searching and comparison.
Publication of a Third Statistical Account began in 1951 and
was completed in 1992.

LONG LAKE FIRST NATION – Memories of Long Lake #58's Church of the Infant Jesus were recently shared by Councillors Marlow Wesley and Arthur Sr. Shebagabow and Chief Veronica Waboose.
The Catholic church, which was built in 1949 and closed in 1997, burned to the ground on May 23.
"We had a lot of history in that church," Wesley says. "I was born and raised and lived there all my life and it is a loss for us in the community. I was an altar boy and I got married in that church."
Wesley says he liked going to the church, which was located on a long point of reserve land on Long Lake between the community and the town of Longlac.
"It was a privilege to be an altar boy," Wesley says, noting that he served as an altar boy in the late 1950s. "There were very few that were altar boys at that age. I was about 12- to 14-years-old."
Wesley says it was a "sad day for the whole community" when the church burned to the ground.
"Now that it's not there, it's like the landmark is gone," Wesley says. "You still look there, and you don't see it now, so it is a loss."
Shebagabow adds that the church was very popular with people who were travelling along the highway.

"I say the whole world used to stop by there, whoever went by there to have a look," Shebagabow says. "It was a landmark, a landmark of the world almost."
Shebagabow says he was "very sad" when the church was on fire.
"I had tears coming down," Shebagabow says. "I didn't want to cry in front of everybody."
Shebagabow says he was baptized in the church.
"We even got married there too (in 1971)," Shebagabow says. "We looked forward to going to church every day in those days. We had big high Masses and a lot of people. Sometimes the bishop came there and there was a big celebration."
Waboose says she and her husband were married in the church in 1959.
"And I baptized all of my children there," Waboose says. "I was the first reader in that church when we started reading the readings during the Mass. So all of my life was centred around that church."
Waboose says the church was busy back then with people attending from Longlac as well as from Long Lake #58.
"We used to have two Masses on Sunday, low Mass and high Mass," Waboose says. "Our school was there, so we had to go to Mass every Sunday (and) every morning, for that matter."
Waboose says the community had to go to a Catholic church in Longlac after the church was condemned in 1997.
"We couldn't get any funding to fix our church," Waboose says. "We fundraised, but we were not able to fundraise (what) it would cost to fix it."
Waboose says she was in Thunder Bay for a meeting when her daughter phoned her about the fire.
"But it didn't sink in at the moment," Waboose says, noting that she started to cry when she saw the burnt church after cutting her meeting short and returning home.
"I cried because all the memories, everything is gone. It meant the world to me because it was part of my growing up. It shaped who I was as a person. My dad was there when he died — that's where we had the wake."
Waboose says the community plans to build a monument on the site after it is cleaned up.
The remains of Fr. Joseph-Marie Couture, a long-time missionary priest at Longlac until his death in 1949, are buried in a tomb in the church basement.

Behind the Scenes: The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Based on the Quaalude and greed fueled memoir of Jordan Belfort, who began amassing his fortune by peddling highly unregulated penny stocks to working-class suckers before graduating to securities fraud and money laundering, The Wolf of Wall Street marks the fifth collaboration between director Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The movie was initially set up at Warner Brothers back in 2008, but was ultimately independently bankrolled by Red Granite (the LA-based company behind Out of the Furnace and Friends With Kids). The Wolf of Wall Street garnered five Oscar nominations – including best picture – but also met with some resistance from those who felt Scorsese didn't provide an appropriate amount of finger-wagging at the bad behavior of Belfort and his cohorts. Here's Scorsese's thoughts on the matter…
"You may want to see a film about a character on Wall Street who goes through all this and has regrets, who is redeemed. It may make you feel good. But is that real? And is it necessary? Why does the character have to be redeemed? The idea of redemption is important to me, and to a lot of my pictures. But is Jake LaMotta redeemed? I may think so; you may not. It's very personal. Is Henry Hill redeemed? After everything he goes through (in "Goodfellas"), all he says he regrets is that he isn't a wiseguy anymore." – Martin Scorsese, from an interview with NJ.com
Wolf was shot by cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (25th Hour, Brokeback Mountain, Babel, Argo). Prieto largely employed 35mm film and an Arricam Lite camera, but also used digital in the form of the Arri Alexa for low light situations and green-screen visual effects shots, which numbered more than 400. Scorsese and Prieto also utilized different lenses, filters and lighting schemes to differentiate the various stages of DiCaprio's rise and fall. Those looks are discussed at length in an article in December's American Cinematographer Magazine, which can be read online here. The film's complete script can also be downloaded here.
Now onward to the behind the scenes gallery, which includes photos from Vulture, NJ.com, ScreenSlam, American Cinematographer Magazine and the official Wolf of Wall Street site.

text: Healthcare Professionals Geriatric Care Nursing Homes Print Being Successful With the Nursing Home State Survey Surviving With Your Sanity and Staff Intact By Esther Heerema, MSW facebook twitter linkedin Esther Heerema, MSW, shares practical tips gained from working with hundreds of people whose lives are touched by Alzheimer's disease and other kinds of dementia. Learn about our editorial policy Esther Heerema, MSW Updated on November 11, 2019 sturti/Getty Images More in Healthcare Professionals Geriatric Care Nursing Homes The Business of Aging Home Health Caring for Clients Healthcare Compensation Office Management Medical Technology Medical Supplies "State is in the building! State is here!" If you've worked in a skilled nursing facility for more than a year, chances are that you've heard this panicked statement at least once. These unannounced annual stated surveys and complaint investigation surveys significantly increase the stress of caring for residents, whether they're in the facility for short-term subacute rehab, dementia care, or long-term care. So, how do you survive? What can you do to have a successful survey? Try some of these tips from those who've been there and lived to tell about it. Strategies Prior to Survey Prepare a Survey Notebook When state surveyors arrive, they will ask you for page after page of information. Gather all of this ahead of time. If you follow the Entrance Conference Worksheet and have everything gathered and updated weekly, you will save yourself a lot of time, stress, and headaches by eliminating the task of trying to find it when the surveyors are waiting on you. Do Rounds and Practice Nervousness can make some staff members' minds go blank, but if there are regular opportunities to practice answering the basics—such as infection control policies, like handwashing and gloving protocols—it often becomes easier to answer correctly when a surveyor poses the question. Issue Written Reminders Some facilities hand out cards to their staff that contains important reminders, including the different types of abuse, how to file a complaint with the facility or the state agency, and fire drill procedures. These cards can be attached to the back of a name badge and flipped through to help remind staff of the information. This is information that staff must be trained on annually, but sometimes it can still be helpful to have it available for a reminder when a surveyor asks. Do It Right All Year Long With the amount and extent of the regulations, this is easier said than done. However, it's generally going to be easier to learn the right way and practice it all year long, instead of frantically trying to remind staff of the right way to do a task. As you're able, identify if a less-than-ideal short cut is being taken and re-educate staff on the correct procedure. Interview Residents and Families The questions and tasks that surveyors perform have been clearly identified and shared with providers, so ask these interview questions regularly to see how residents and families think you're doing. Spend time monthly speaking with residents about their food, activities, nursing care and response time. The survey process was updated in 2017, and far more of the surveyors' time is spend directly talking with residents. If you're able to identify and respond to any concerns that residents might have as they occur, you'll have happier residents and better survey outcomes. Gather Knowledge Review the most common deficiencies being issued. You can search online and fairly easily identify key issues. Also, based on your quality indicators, you will often know what surveyors will be looking at ahead of time. It's worth spending time to review your policies that are related to the flagged quality indicators, since these areas will very likely be reviewed. Use the QAPI Process The Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement process should be used when you identify an issue that needs improvement. If your facility struggles with a high percentile of falls, for example, the QAPI process can target falls as an area to improve. This will likely have the benefit of improved resident results, as well as help you explain to surveyors that you are working systematically at improvement in reducing resident falls. Strategies During Survey Breathe Take a moment and just take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale. Take another moment to remind your coworkers to breathe. Having surveyors in the building can make things pretty hectic and it's important to slow down, just for a minute. Remind Yourself Why You're All Here A survey can be stressful and difficult, certainly for the nursing home providers, but also for the surveyors. In the middle of that stress, remind each other that providers and surveyors alike are all here for the same reason—the residents—and that they are what matter. Chances are, you're committed to the quality of life and excellence in care for your residents. Hold onto that thought throughout the process and let it shape your responses and actions. Ask Clarifying Questions Don't guess or assume if you're not sure what the surveyor is really asking. State the question back to them in your own words and ask them if that's what they mean if you're unsure. This can be an important strategy to make sure you have a clear understanding of what they need and it can also give you a few seconds to think through your answer before you speak. Less Is More Be mindful of what you say. Surveyors are trained to write down what you say in answer to their questions and asking for a moment to think to format an answer will not hurt you. However, rambling on and providing extraneous information beyond what answers their questions often will. Being nervous can have different effects of people and, for many, talking too much can be a result. Answer the question that was asked and resist the temptation to provide additional information unless you've thought it through and believe it will help explain your rationale for a decision or defend your facility's course of action. Get Help From a Coworker Sometimes, conversations with surveyors can feel pretty intimidating, almost as if you're being interrogated. If you're in the middle of a difficult conversation, say, "Excuse me a moment," and then come right back with a coworker to help you respond to the surveyors' questions. This strategy isn't appropriate when a basic question is asked, such as, "What do you do if you suspect abuse?" That's a question that every staff member should be able to answer. But if you're in a detailed conversation about a pressure ulcer and trying to defend and explain the facility's actions, it can be very helpful to have more than one person listen and respond to questions. Always Check the Care Plan Always. If you're asked how someone transfers, check the care plan before you answer, even if you care for them every day and know this resident's care backward and forwards. The care plan could have just been changed and your protocol for transferring someone should always contain the first step of checking the care plan. Tell the Truth Don't ever lie or stretch the truth. Having surveyors in the building pressing you on an issue may tempt you to do almost anything to "get out of trouble." Don't ever give in to that temptation. Look for more information. Provide more records. Think about how you can defend their allegations. Bring someone with you to talk to the surveyors. But, don't ever falsify records or be untruthful. It's not worth risking your job, your license, your residents, or your integrity. Remain Professional Take the high road when you're interacting with the surveyors. You will likely not agree with everything that is said and done. But, you'll feel better at the end of the day if you are able to maintain your professional demeanor, despite the circumstance. Help your teammates out by checking in with them and debriefing after difficult conversations. Know When to Say "Uncle" This can be difficult, especially if the situation feels unjust or wrong to you. Emotions can run high and there may be times when you strongly disagree with a surveyor. It's okay to defend your position or debate your point with the surveyors. In fact, that's often an important part of the survey process. But, when you sense you're hitting that brick wall, it's probably not going to be helpful to continue to pursue the issue. Own the Obvious Mistake Admit that you're wrong when a clear deficiency is pointed out to you. Doing so can lower defenses on both sides. For example, there are times when an issue is debatable, but there are also other times when you or your facility have clearly made a mistake and it's time to own it. Keep the attitude of a learner. We are never perfect and we can always improve our practices. We can always learn more and it's appropriate and professional to shift from a defensive position to a learning position. Provide Information Before They Exit Respectfully present information before the surveyors leave the facility in order to defend the allegations and questions being asked. After they exit the facility, they will not accept additional information that you try to provide to them. Re-Frame the Experience as Education Re-framing an experience means that you change how you look at it. Viewing and experiencing the survey process as an educational experience can be very helpful. Try to remember that although you, as a provider, may be looking at the situation from the opposing view as compared to that of a surveyor, you can always learn from the experience. For example, having to explain why a specific intervention was chosen to address a resident's need can help you refine your thought process and perhaps improve the choice the next time. Having something pointed out can help you research innovative and best practices in that area, too. A Word From Verywell Remember that in the end, it's still all about the residents. The survey process, while flawed, may at times be able to help us identify better practices and facilitate change as we strive for continual improvement in the quality of life and excellent care for our residents. State and federal surveys can, at times, be discouraging and disheartening experiences, unfortunately. Our hope is that these practical strategies can help provide support and encouragement to those of us who, day in and day out, are faithfully working to care for those who have been entrusted to us.

Blondie says you don't stop having fun when you get old, you get old when you stop having fun. Being diagnosed with cancer hasn't derailed her daily routine at all. She passionately continues to play fetch (her favorite thing to do) and motivate her way around Park 1 with ease, full of strength and courage, a testament to anyone who may be dealing with issues. We don't choose every detail of our life but we do choose how we react. Blondie chooses to enjoy life and her allotted park time to the fullest.
June wanted out of the rain today so bad, she even jumped up in my rain jacket with me and started licking my face.
Simba made my whole day today. He has really opened up with me and become really playful. He let me pet him from his head down to his shoulders this morning. Later on in the afternoon I went to play with him in his kennel and he rubbed his whole body on me and he let me pet him all over. I can tell he gets excited to see me and it brightens my day every time I see him.
Ethel and I just hanging out in the dog house out of the rain.

I got to have one on one time with goof ball Fred today, without his kennel mate Ethel, who wants all the attention all of the time. We played and I "brushed" him the best I could with my hands. He's not comfortable with a brush just yet but that's okay. He's so sweet and has come such a long way.
I think Morty is one of the prettiest and sweetest dogs we have. His nose is all dirty because he had just finished burying a cookie that I gave him. He's so goofy. I love Morty.
This is Bobby Joe. She loves to play with toys in the pool to beat the heat. She also loves to run, jump and throw the toys around in the park. Hugs and cookies are at the top of her favorite things list. And a plus she's super sweet.
Kobe was on his best behavior today. I wasn't quite up for playing rope with him, normally he throws a bit of a tantrum over that but today he was completely fine with snuggles. He really enjoyed being brushed, so much that he pulled my arm back to him every time I tried to stop.

text: Design discipline has been relatively slow to recognize the existence and impacts of postmodernism as compared to sociology, political science, marketing and management disciplines, however, recently postmodernist implications have begun to be explored by design scholars. Yet our review of the literature led us to conclude that the relationship between postmodernism and design thinking has received little, if any attention from design management scholars. The objective of this paper, then, is to expand the discussion on the relationship between postmodern organization and design thinking, to suggest strategic implications for design managers and research opportunities for management scholars.

Not able to behavior flooring operations at the ecu continent until eventually Allied energy was once marshalled for a full-scale invasion, the British govt established its grand approach in global battle II on a chronic crusade of aerial bombardment of Nazi Germany's towns with a view to convey the 3rd Reich to its knees. on the center of this procedure have been the rising applied sciences of the heavy bomber, mixed with night-navigation and precision-bombing concepts. The RAF brought the massive four-engined Avro Lancaster in 1942 and used it to spearhead this aerial offensive. In reaction, the Luftwaffe created an elite nightfighter strength dependent basically upon the Bf a hundred and ten to counter the RAF bombers. even supposing the Bf one hundred ten had failed miserably as an afternoon fighter over England in 1940, it stumbled on its area of interest as a nightfighter. The Luftwaffe was once fast to equip it with airborne radar that allowed it to intercept and ruin Lancasters over Germany. In flip, the RAF followed countermeasures akin to the Monica rearward-looking radar to alert Lancaster crews to the technique of nightfighters. The Lancaster heavy bomber used to be outfitted with rear and dorsal turrets that gave it a few probability to force off nightfighters utilising the traditional tactic of attacking from above and behind.
In might 1943, although, the Luftwaffe all at once constructed a unique technical and tactical method of attacking RAF bombers - the Schräge Musik weapon process, which fixed upward-firing 20mm cannons in a Bf a hundred and ten nightfighter. the recent tactic proved amazingly winning, and British bombers will be attacked from under without caution. quickly, the Luftwaffe determined to equip a 3rd of its nightfighters with Schräge Musik and commenced to inflict grievous losses upon Lancaster bomber devices within the interval from August 1943 to March 1944. For its half, the RAF did not notice the hot German tactic for 6 the most important months, within which time its Lancaster bombers have been nearly defenceless by contrast new chance. In time, in spite of the fact that, the German benefit of shock used to be misplaced and the RAF constructed countermeasures to accommodate the hot danger. The duel among upgraded Bf 110s and Lancasters within the evening skies over Germany grew to become more and more ruled by way of state-of-the-art expertise, which might confirm the efficacy of strategic bombing.

Sample text
Himmelbett was essentially a static zone defence, and even though Bomber Command could not easily bypass it, the grid system could be overwhelmed. Each Freya radar could only prosecute one interception at a time, which was adequate when Bomber Command obliged by sending its bombers through an area a few at a time. Furthermore, German ground controllers could only handle one Bf 110 per Himmelbett zone, which prevented the Nachtjagd from massing its forces. Harris changed the operational and tactical dynamic by introducing a dense bomber stream in May 1942, which channelled all the bombers through a few boxes and packed them into a much tighter formation, thereby overwhelming the handful of fighters in their path with too many targets.
During this period, if not before, instructors would determine if the pilot was best suited for single or multi-engined aircraft, and if selected for service with a Bf 110 unit, the pilot would continue on to a Flugzeugführerschule C after a few months of classroom 1.

Better get somewhere dark this Sunday; the moon is going to put on a show you won't forget.
Rather than seeing a big, bright orb of white hanging in the night sky this weekend, the moon will take on a blood-red hue as it tucks itself into Earth's massive shadow. Since Sunday will also set the stage for a supermoon, the red sphere will appear much larger than normal. That means a lunar eclipse and a supermoon will be occurring simultaneously–something Earth hasn't seen since 1982.
You wont want to miss this one, either. Because if you do, it'll be an 18 year wait before your second chance, as NASA predicts this won't be happening again until 2033.
That leaves the obvious question: What can you do to make sure you see it? The good news there is, the supermoon eclipse should be visible from anywhere in the country (although the west coast will only be able to witness about half of the whole show). A partial eclipse will become visible around 9:07 p.m. ET on Sunday (Sept. 27), with the total eclipse following about an hour later. The whole show should last until right around 1 a.m. Monday.
And yes, it's all safe to view with the naked eye. All you need is a blanket to lie down on, and maybe a cup of hot chocolate to stay warm.
For the uninitiated, this is a whole lot of lunar activity all at once, so we'll break it down for you. A supermoon occurs when the moon makes its closest pass to Earth in its orbit, making it appear about 14 per cent larger than normal. A lunar eclipse, on the other hand, occurs when the moon passes completely into the Earth's shadow, giving it a reddish tint.
When both of those things occur at the same time, you have yourself a supermoon eclipse.
Happy skywatching!

Make URF great again
Hi :D Most of the players that played the AR URF game mode also played the original URF where it wasn't so random. From the general public feedback that isn't that hard to find, I have gathered that the AR part of URf isn't that fun which was the main part of this mode, Fun. Now with the 10 ban system in place for ranked or normal draft, wouldn't it be great to make URF blind pick again with the 10 ban system. Think about it, everyone would get a chance to ban 1 champ which they despise and not only that, they would get to choose the champion they want to play just like old times. and before anyone says "Oh well all random urf brings more variety and makes sure there are less repetitive games with people which main one champ." To be honest, I along side many other players would prefer to have a choice who we play and if that means that we have to play against the same champions in every game, then so be it. Or it would at least be a good idea to let people make a custom URF game where everyone can choose, people would make open lobbies or invite others through forums as I am sure there are a lot of people which enjoy this game mode just as much if not more than I do. That is all from me, I'll just leave this to the people to comment their opinions. Riot pls.

2019 MLB Draft Guide: The Value of Strikeouts
James Grande takes a look at how strikeouts can be one of the most important features of a pitcher with relation to using them in fantasy baseball leagues.
Since 2000, we've seen just three seasons in which at least 16 pitchers have struck out 200-plus opponents and coincidentally enough, it's been three of the last four seasons excluding the 2016 campaign. It seemingly doesn't matter anymore if you put the ball in play, but when you do, does it leave the yard? The strikeout is such a fascinating aspect of today's game because it matters, but at the same time it doesn't. We all want to roster the Max Scherzer 's and Chris Sale 's of the world but the same goes for Giancarlo Stanton , Joey Gallo , and Khris Davis on the opposite end of the spectrum yet they strike out 175-plus times a year, but hit 40 homers so it's kind of irrelevant. Adapting to this style will only benefit us in the long run, our teams especially.
Want to know how much the punch out is worth these days? The first eight pitchers according to this year's ADP all struck out 200-plus batters. Number nine? Clayton Kershaw . Kershaw only made 26 starts in 2018 and...

Power supply unit is a essential component when building a computer.
When building a computer we have to look for many aspects but often we don't put much stress on PSU position, today we're here to help you with that.
Power supply unit, shortly knows as PSU and SMPS.
Some PSU have a back fan that work as exhaust. Other have a fan on the top to intake air and throws from rear. The question is how should you put PSU on your cabinet, the options are quite simple.
If there's a fan on top.
When your PSU has a fan, you have two options depending on the PSU location in cabinet.
Apply the PSU upward facing when you have to place it somewhere top in cabinet. This sometimes can led you to two situations.
Cabinet don't have air vent on top side.
If that's the case, put PSU down facing.
When your cabinet has top power supply position with a separate chamber.
Cabinet situation – if power supply position is on top, and there is a vent on top of the cabinet case, put it upward facing so it can take air from outside.
On the other hand if there is no top vent on your cabinet, put it downward facing, the fan will get air from inside the cabinet and exhaust it from rear. It will also lead psu to work as a exhaust fan and decrease the temperature.
PSU position cheat sheet.
- No chamber + Top vents = Upward facing
- No chamber + No top vents = Downward facing
When your cabinet has bottom power supply position (with a separate chamber).
1. Chamber don't have top vent – in this case the vent will be on the bottom side to put your PSU, down facing.
2. Chamber have top vent – put PSU upward facing.
3. Bottom position with no chamber, upward facing.
- Bottom chamber + Top vents = Upward facing.
- Bottom chamber + bottom vents = Downward facing.
- No chamber + No vents = Upward facing.
- No chamber + Bottom vents = Upward facing.
So this was a quick troubleshoot for people building a PC. If it help, do share it with your friends so they know the best way to put PSU.
It is nice that you can use a Power supply to work as an additional exhaust fan to keep your system cool.
We're also working to publish some gaming rigs combination powered by Intel's 8th generation processor.


text: pokerdave Posted December 21, 2018 Back in July I put 100k on various credit cards to invest in a venture. Was supposed to be paid back by end of Nov but ran into a few pitfalls and am now looking at Apr 1. I currently owe about 55k . . I have 125k in available credit 131k if you include Walmart. My experian also has a 24k authorized user card so it lists available credit as 155k and is my highest score . Nfcu 25k /34k limit Amex 7k/25k limit Boa 19.5/40k limit chase 3300 , they closed my card because of my activity , it was only 2 months old. This has 0 pct for the next 15 months. I also have a discover card that I pif that reported 980 last month and has 1300 on it this month. Current scores are 720 EXp, 704 Eq and 698 Tu Would like to get my scores above 740 by mid January as I will be financing a 2017/2018 used car and want the best rate. All cards are currently paid above minimums for January and i have an additional 10k minimum and possibly up to 15k to use for payments. Question 1. Is there any advantage to not letting Discover report. I can push that 1300 off till Feb 6 without interest. Question 2. My EX only dropped from 714 to 709 when Chase reported it was closed. Reports were 7 days apart, so is it advantageous to 0 that out even though I have 0 pct and am paying 150 pct of the minimum monthly. Question 3 Before taking into account the auto financing I had been attacking my BOA card because that was the highest rate and NFCU the lowest. Will i get a better bang for my buck if i get my NFCU under 50% vs paying down BOA. Question 4 the last month I have been turned down for CLI from Discover, and my 2 Cap Ones based on my high utilization even though those are 9 balances. I also have a 6k limit Pennfed that i got in August before all these reported. It is 0 pct but i have not transferred anything because of the low limit would it hurt to transfer 2900 to that card or just leave it alone. I also have not asked for a higher limit because I dont want to screw up and get that card closed. Last Question In my Boa online they have been telling me that I have a special offer for a 0 pct free balance transfer offer. Is there any downside to applying for that . I have not seen any talk about Boa special offers if they usually get approved or not. Thanks for any suggestions. 1 gobigorgohome reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With no IFA to worry about, LG is setting up for its own September 6 party and it's cooking up some nougat – but the recipe is half about actual nougat and half about how awesome the new LG V20 will be.
It will be the first phone to launch with Android 7.0 Nougat (no Nexus event yet). There's a heavy emphasis on multitasking – fast switching between apps (double tap the App switcher key), split pop-up video, quick notification replies, drag and drop between apps and more.
The V20 will have V10's secondary screen, its dual selfie camera AND G5's dual back camera for good measure. Other expected specs include a 5.7″ QHD screen, Snapdragon 820 chipset with 4GB of RAM and a fingerprint reader.
And as a demo of at least one of the four cameras, the promo video was shot on a V20. Looking at how smooth it is, even though it was shot handheld, OIS is a given.

Once upon a time I was asked by a cable news show host (no longer one) who I didn't much like to audition to be a regular on the show. I suppose to be the liberal Erick Erickson of sorts. I decided I didn't want to bother for many reasons. Probably my bank account is mad at that decision (cable news guests are not paid until they become regulars, but are reasonably compensated then). Some of those reasons were just practical. This sucky blog, which I feel an obligation to, takes a lot of time (even if that isn't always obvious), and taking a train to NYC 3+ days per week would have made my life complicated (the internet is everywhere now, it wasn't then so much). I didn't think I'd be especially good at being a TV pundit. But also, to be honest, I just didn't want to be famous.
Once upon a time I was a bit internet famous back when that was sort of a weird thing. I am not even internet famous anymore. While I would love to be your benevolent dictator, because I would be the best benevolent dictator, I really don't want to be famous. It's still a bit entertaining when people recognize me on the streets, which happens occasionally, but I would not want it to happen all the time.
If I was on the teevee regularly, I wouldn't be surprised if my local cheesesteak vendor didn't serve me. I would find it funny, and would not be mad at all. It's also why I don't want to be on the teevee regularly, but we all make choices.
