![]() Most Facebook users have been stuck sitting on the website to chat with their friends. The biggest issues that I found were all with the interface. I did not have any problems using any of the Facebook integration features. It didn’t make the program work poorly or interfere with the chatting experience, it just made the program feel a bit unpolished. However in the place of this logo was just a large blank ad space. However when I installed it on my computer there was no logo. On the screenshots posted on the Chit-Chat for Facebook there was a large logo on the bottom. I also noticed on both of my test machines one interesting issue with the buddy list. One problem I noticed on both my Windows XP test machine and Windows 7 test machine was the notifications weren’t styled unless you clicked on the small notification window. Most of the problems I found with my testing of Chit Chat for Facebook were visual in nature. Quirks Top: How notifications should look. Unless you were looking for something that will seamlessly blend into the Aero environment, you should be perfectly satisfied with the appearance of Chit Chat for Facebook. Like the chatting experience, it doesn’t set itself apart from the competition, but it doesn’t bring itself down either. There’s nothing bad about the way the program is designed. ![]() It looks the same whether you run it in the aging Windows XP or the latest Windows 7. The program does not integrate itself with Microsoft’s new Aero styling at all. ![]() Depending on how much you liked the look of Office, this is either a good or a bad thing. It uses the same window decorations and color scheme as Office. The design of the program has very clearly been taken from the pages of Microsoft Office 2007. The Buddy List can use your Facebook lists to sort your friends. Unlike the online Facebook chat, it logs all of your chat history so you can look at what you have said in the past. You have tabbed windows that let you chat with multiple contacts in the same window. It’s pretty much your standard chat client. There’s nothing extraordinary about the chatting experience. How does the chatting itself work? It works as well as you would expect. I have used many different chat clients to talk on Facebook, but barely any of them include this feature. This is probably my favorite feature of the program. You can either have them ordered alphabetically or, if you have sorted your friends into lists on Facebook, Chit Chat for Facebook allows you to use those lists inside the client. There are two ways you can organize your friends list with the Facebook software Chit Chat for Facebook. This is an entirely optional feature who prefer to keep our music habits private (useful if you end up listening to Justin Bieber for the 3 rd song in a row). It’s a neat little Facebook gadget in itself. It even has a counter for the little-advertised 1000 character limit Facebook holds for wall posts.įor those of us who are obsessed with music, Chit Chat for Facebook integrates itself into your Windows operating system and will post a status telling your friends what music you are listening to. For example, the images in Figure 1 shows the ability of Chit Chat for Facebook to write allow you to write on your friend’s walls without opening the Facebook website. Since Chit Chat for Facebook has been designed exclusively with Facebook in mind, it has done far more to integrate Facebook into its client than most other Facebook tools. In-Depth: Writing on a Friend's Wall Features It isn’t perfect, but it has some features that other Facebook clients have not yet found a way to easily duplicate. Chit Chat for Facebook’s strength is the way that it integrates itself into Facebook. It isn’t a fancy multi-account program like Pidgin or Digsby, but for many people that doesn’t matter. ![]() Chit Chat for Facebook is a desktop chat program that works exclusively with the Facebook chat protocol.

![]() For example, can you save your notes to Google Drive or Evernote? You want to find out how user-friendly and streamlined it is. Find out which file formats it supports and what app integrations it has. What devices/operating systems does the tablet or notepad work with? You want to check that it’s compatible with your other devices, such as your phone and laptop.Īlso, look into how easy it is to access your digital notes. It gets frustrating waiting for the tablet to catch up with you. Low latency means that it will be very responsive and there won’t be a delay.īut a high latency is something to watch out for as it can affect your creative flow. It all relates to how fast the data travels – you can find out more about latency here. The latency refers to how fast the screen responds to what you write with the pen. The more pressure levels, the more control you’ll get over what you draw. Press lightly, and you can get light shading effects. Push down harder, and you’ll get a thicker line. The best digital pens are pressure-sensitive, so they pick up on how much pressure you apply. If possible, test it out for yourself before you buy to see how you like the feel.īut it’s not just the design that’s important when it comes to the stylus. But the comfort level is very personal and can differ from person to person. You want a pen that is comfortable with an ergonomic design that’s easy to grip. ![]() (If that’s the case, make sure you’ve budgeted for the stylus, too!) So, the first question is whether it even comes with a pen included? Most digital notepads will do, but in some cases, you may need to buy it separately. The stylus is a crucial feature of any writing pad. You’ll need it to save your files safely until you can transfer them to the cloud. So, you want to look for a writing pad with plenty of internal storage. There may be times when you’re using your writing tablet with no internal connection. The internal storage space is another essential factor as you don’t want to risk losing your files. It’s worth checking the weight to see if it’s lightweight, too – especially if you’ll carry it with you a lot. But at the same time, it can mean that your digital notepad is less compact and portable. How large is the tablet? The benefit of a larger screen is that you have more space to take notes. And just as the technology can differ in these tablets, the battery life varies a lot, too. The last thing you want is for your digital notepad to run out of charge in the middle of a work meeting or lecture. ![]() Next, it’s worth finding out how long the battery life is. Make sure that you know exactly what you’re getting and that it meets your expectations. So, the first thing you should look into is what technology the electronic notepad uses. In that case, you’ll still need to draw on a regular notepad or paper and upload those designs to the cloud. Some are actual tablets with a screen or an LCD screen you draw on using e-ink technology.īut for others, they have a sensor within the pen itself that picks up your drawings. Not all digital notepads work in the same way. ![]() Here are some things to look out for when shopping around for a digital writing pad: Technology The Wrap Up Best Electronic Notebook: Buying Guide ![]() As a general guideline, the items that are the most difficult to blend should be closest to the blade. Because the cup needs to be filled with your smoothie ingredients and then flipped upside down to blend, it’s best to start with softer ingredients, followed by ingredients that are more difficult to blend, like ice and large pieces of frozen produce. ![]() Then, insert the cup into the blender base. To make a smoothie, add ingredients to the to-go cup, and screw the blender blade to the top of the cup. The blender’s base includes a high-power motor with 1100 watts of peak power that can easily handle ice and frozen chunks of fruit or vegetables. It comes with an 18-ounce and a 24-ounce to-go cup as well as two travel lids. The Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro is a compact countertop blender that tops our list for best smoothie blender. Deciding how you plan to use your blender can help you make the best choice. While some have additional features that may appeal to those who are looking for a multifunctional blender, the majority listed are based solely on their ability to easily blend a creamy smoothie at home. Our dietitian, who has extensive experience working in the culinary field, reviewed blenders that are the best for smoothies. All you really need is a low setting to get things started and a high setting to finish the work.” ![]() “Most blenders come with multiple settings like smoothie, soup, or puree. Laura Geraty, MS, RDN, LDN, and culinary dietitian says, “When choosing a blender, keep in mind your budget, what you’ll be using it for, and the amount of storage space you have to house it.” It also helps to know what to avoid when looking for a home blender. We've reviewed the top blenders on the market, to find reliable and easy-to-use options, so you can make smoothies a part of your regular routine.

All teams are then placed on an aircraft that passes over the game map. Each character in the squad has a unique design, personality, and abilities that provide different playstyles to the team. ![]() Before the match, each player on the squad selects one of the 23 playable characters (as of season 15), with the exception that no character may be selected more than once by a squad. Players can join friends in a squad or can be matched randomly with other players. Įach match generally features twenty teams of three-player squads. The game is free-to-play and monetized through microtransactions and loot boxes, which allow the player to spend both real money and in-game currency on cosmetic items, such as outfits for the Legends and new colors for weapons. Alternate modes have been introduced allowing for single and for two-player squads since the game's release. Gameplay A gameplay screenshot showing the game's ping systemĪpex Legends is an online multiplayer battle royale game featuring squads of three players using pre-made characters with distinctive abilities, called "Legends", similar to those of hero shooters. By April 2021, it had approximately 100 million players making it one of the most played video games of all time by player count. Apex Legends surpassed 25 million players by the end of its first week, and 50 million within its first month. Some considered it a worthy competitor to other battle royale games. Apex Legends received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay, progression system, and fusion of elements from various genres. The game's release in 2019 came as a surprise, as until that point it had been assumed that Respawn Entertainment was working on a third installment to the Titanfall franchise, the studio's previous major game. Work on the game began around late 2016, though the project remained a secret right up until its launch. Teams win when their team has at least 3 points and is 2 points ahead.Īpex Legends is set in the same science fiction universe as Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series, with several characters from the Titanfall series appearing either as minor characters or playable Legends. In "Arenas", players form into three-player squads and fight against another squad in a 3v3 team deathmatch over a series of rounds to determine the winner of the match. The available play area on the island shrinks over time, forcing players to keep moving or else find themselves outside the play area which can be fatal. In "Battle Royale", up to 20 three-person squads or 30 two-person duos land on an island and search for weapons and supplies before attempting to defeat all other players in combat. The game supports cross-platform play, excluding the aforementioned mobile platforms.īefore the match, players form into two- or three-player squads, and select from pre-designed characters with distinctive abilities, known as "Legends". A mobile version of the game designed for touchscreens titled Apex Legends Mobile was released in May 2022 on Android and iOS. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in February 2019, for Nintendo Switch in March 2021, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in March 2022.

In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, soy sauce and minced garlic, and stir until well combined.Season both sides of each of the salmon filets with salt and pepper to taste, set aside. Then pat the salmon filets with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. If you salmon filets still have the skin attached, remove it with a sharp boning knife.Then brush the top side of the filets with remaining glaze. When the oil is hot, place the glazed side of the salmon filets into the hot oil. While the pan is heating up, use a pastry brush to brush the former skin side of each salmon filet generously with the glaze. Now heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Working with one filet at a time, dredge both sides of salmon in flour, shaking off any excess flour, set aside. ![]() Then add 1/4 cup flour into a shallow plate or bowl. Once you have the syrup and soy sauce mixed, set it aside. Not to mention, that there are no additives that will change the taste or texture of the maple glazed salmon during the cooking process. ![]() Not only does the taste make a huge difference, but pure maple syrup is also thinner than store-bought, processed breakfast syrup. It is highly recommended that you use pure maple syrup for this recipe. Next, in a small bowl, mix together the pure maple syrup, soy sauce and minced garlic and stir until well combined. Once the skin has been removed, pat each filet with a paper towel and then season both sides with salt and pepper. To convert time to a decimal number that represents the time in the internal Excel system, apply the General format to the cell.If any of the above formulas returns a value formatted as time, simply change the cell's format to Generalto display it as a number.Use the HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND functions like in the two previous examples (I believe at this point you don't need any further explanation of the formula's logic :) The formula is basically the same as in the above examples with the only difference that you convert the "day" unit to "sec": ![]() ![]() Multiply the time value by 86400, which is the number of seconds in a day (24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 86400): =HOUR(A2)*60 + MINUTE(A2) + SECOND(A2)/60Ĭonverting time to total seconds in Excel can be done in a similar fashion. One more way to get the number of minutes is to multiply hours by 60 and divide seconds by the same number: To do the "time > minutes" conversion with the CONVERT(number, from_unit, to_unit) function, supply "day" as the unit to convert from and "mn" as the unit to convert to: You can view the results in the screenshot below: If you want to return the number of compete minutes, utilize the INT function like in the previous example: To convert time to total minutes, you multiply time by 1440, which is the number of minutes in one day (24 hours * 60 minutes = 1440): The same three methods can be used to convert minutes from the standard time format to a decimal number. Extract the individual time units by using the HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND functions, then divide minutes by 60 (the number of minutes in an hour) and seconds by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour), and add up the results: To get the number of compete hours, embed the above formula in the INT function that will get rid of the fractional part:Īnother way to perform the "time > hours" conversion is to use the following Convert formula:įormula 3: HOUR, MINUTE and SECOND functionsįinally, you can use a bit more complex formula, whose logic, however, is quite obvious. You already know the fastest way to convert a time value to a number of hours in Excel - multiplying by 24, i.e. This section demonstrates 3 different formulas to convert hours from the standard time format (hh:mm:ss) to a decimal number. In the following sections, you will learn the other methods of converting times to a decimal number in Excel.
![]() In the episode " Witch's Crew", she gains fire powers while in ogre form. She also gets to be romantically dramatic when she falls in love with Barry. However, her rude behavior caused it to end quickly which resulted in her being a frenemy of the Girls. Also unlike her 1998 counterpart, she has shown an interest in a friendship with the Girls. Like her counterpart in the original show, she mostly uses the money to give her fake superpowers and to pay others to get to become a Powerpuff Girl. She brags and usually rubs her richness and fame in people's faces (specifically the Powerpuff Girls). She loves flaunting her wealth and using her vast riches to get whatever she wants. Like her original counterpart, Princess is spoiled, egotistical, petty, spiteful, and very manipulative. She is now an ogre with dark green skin that appears to be dirty, fangs, glowing red eyes, and a tattered brown dress. In the episode Witch's Crew, her appearance changes drastically. Her power suit closely resembles the Powerpuff Girls' dresses but with a mostly yellow color scheme. Her 1998 counterpart wore the tiara only in combat it was not part of her regular civilian outfit. ![]() The only differences are that she always has a tiara and that her sweater has been replaced by a short-sleeved t-shirt. She still wears a pinkish purple skirt, white tights, and purple shoes. ![]() She has curly dark red hair in large poofs on the sides of her head, black eyes, and freckles, and she is about the same height as the Powerpuff Girls. Princess Morbucks' appearance is more or less unchanged from her original counterpart. It logs you out if it crashes, which can be frequently if your cheapskate boss’s computer only has 4 Gb RAM. One of the downsides to PDFelement is that it requires you to log in to your account to verify your license at all times, which means you have to log back in every time the program logs you out.

![]() On closer inspection, one can find that it has fine streaks that run down its crown, nape, throat, chest and upper belly. The contrasting plumage colouration of this bird is one feature that many birders typically use to recognize it from afar. It has a white head, neck and chest and a characteristic chestnut-coloured body. Species account: Brahminy Kite Haliastur indus.

Brahminy Kite ( Haliastur indus), version 1.2. Our knowledgeable staff is on hand year-round to answer any questions you may have about the Brahminy Kite or any other bird of prey.ĭebus, S., T. There is also a touch table with feathers and other natural objects available for exploration. This is a great chance to see birds of prey up close and learn about the wonderful and interesting adaptations they have in order to survive in their respective habitats. The visitor center has many live raptors on display, and in the fall you can observe some of the raptors showing off their flying skills during our Fall Flight Shows. Interactive activities, tours, interesting videos, and a children's room with activities from coloring sheets to quizzes to costumes await you. ![]() The World Center for Birds of Prey offers fun ways to learn about all birds of prey. Brahminy Kite and the World Center for Birds of Prey The young will remain in their parents' territory for about two months as they learn to hunt, avoid danger, and otherwise survive on their own. Once the nestlings hatch, they will grow quickly, flying for the first time when they are around 50-56 days old. When the time is right, the female will lay between 1-3 eggs, which are white with small brown spots. ![]() As a result, the nests become larger and larger over time. Pairs will often use the same nests year after year, adding new material each year. They seem to prefer forested slopes for nesting. They often build the nest between 2-30 m above the ground in a prominent fork of a tall tree. Nest, Eggs, and Youngīrahminy Kites build a large platform nest of sticks which they line with twigs, bark, leaves, dried mud or dung. It regularly scavenges around harbors and trash dumps and it is attracted to grassland fires, snatching up young birds, amphibians, and other animals fleeing the flames and smoke. It will often take small prey in flight, which it often consumes while on the wing, meaning it eats while still in flight. It might soar low over mudflats and beaches as it keeps its eyes out for fish that are floating near the surface of the water or stranded. When hunting, this kite employs a few different techniques. It will feed on small birds, fish, and insects, which it snatches from the surface of water or from foliage. Like most kite species, the Brahminy Kite has quite a long list of items on its menu. It is fairly common throughout its range. This species is categorized globally as a species of "Least Concern" by BirdLife International. At night, it will sometimes roost in large groups. It spends time alone, in pairs, and in small family groups. When it is not soaring, this beautiful kite spends its time on exposed perches in trees. It can be found soaring over coastal areas, estuaries, wetlands, rivers, swamps, and clearings. This species is found through parts of Asia, Australia, and New Guinea. GRIN also provides citizen scientists a way to participate in raptor science and conservation. In addition, our Global Raptor Impact Network gives raptor researchers tools to more efficiently conduct their own studies while contributing to a global program. Though The Peregrine Fund doesn't work directly with the Brahminy Kite, our efforts in scientific research, habitat conservation, education, and community development help conserve birds of prey around the world. We also supply literature to researchers from our avian research library, which helps scientists around the world gather and share important information on raptor conservation. |
