Your TBR pile teeters dangerously beside your bed, threatening to crush you at any moment. You go home with a very full Joan Didion tote bag and more books than you can ever read in a lifetime. Make rules for yourself when it comes to curating your personal library. Tell me if this sounds familiar: you step into your favorite local independent bookstore, and you lose all sense of self-control. Trust the process.

In my own attempts at procrastination, I have just finished my sixth rewatch of New Girl. What I mean to say is: he’s so, so relatable in his desire to be a writer, coupled with his deep disdain for writing. There are days when he would rather destroy his laptop or hitchhike to Chicago than sit down and put words on the page. But what makes Nick Miller such a treasure? He’s lazy. ![]() He’s hands-down one of the greatest fictional writers of our time. By night, he’s the author of Z is for Zombie and, most notably, The Pepperwood Chronicles. By day, he’s a cranky bartender at a failing establishment.

![]() A memorable pure R&B, jazzy sound that won't leave you quiet. And if this song became a hit, partly of its effect goes to this clip, one of the rarest in Steve career. And "Roll with It" was one of his greatest efforts, right after "Valerie" and "While You See a Chance". Veteran from the British invasion with his Spencer Davis Group, then Traffic and Blind Faith, he's a true musician who survived through it all and redefined himself as a solo artist in the 1980's, with dignity, class and presence. Yes, he mastered the technique used in other clips and films a long time ago. Also worthy of mention is the sex appeal he brings into this, something nice and without vulgarity. It creates a sense of spectacle, a show delivered unto us. The director's attention to detail is truly amazing even back then: close-up on objects, faces, sweat, dance moves, Winwood's performance or the sax player during the solo. ![]() ![]() Black and white cinematography, couples dancing in this crowded bar and Steve Winwood and band performing the song. Fincher's contribution is nice but the video's success owes more to the sound we hear than to images we see. The team gathered here is amazing: Steve Winwood at the top of his game back in the 1980's with a great hit song Paula Abdul providing the choreography for the video and that video clip master-later-turned-into-outstanding-filmmaker directing it, David Fincher (yes, the same from "Se7en" and "Gone Girl") were all integral part of this promo of Winwood's song "Roll with it". ![]() ![]() Daniel has some awesome updates in the works to enable report creators who have a bit of HTML coding skills to extend this visual and create ‘on the fly’ customised visual displays linked with the data, directly within Power BI.

If it does not lay enough eggs, the worker bees will begin with development of new queens that will replace the old one, a process known as replacement. The worker bees carefully monitor the queen to make sure she is doing her job well. A strong group of worker bees protects the queen and regulates her temperature. The survival of queens in the harsh winter months largely depends on how viable its colony is. However, if the queen bee does not fertilize the egg, it will become a male drone. If the queen fertilizes the egg, that egg will become a female – a worker bee or queen. After that, the queen bee lays between 1,000 and 2,000 eggs a day in the hive. All the food of the uterus is royal beebread, the most valuable product rich in nutrients and proteins.Ī week after the new queen comes out of her cell, she makes several flights to mate with as many as 20 drones.Īfter the queen returns to lay her eggs, she rarely leaves the colony. All the energy is spent on it.Īll members of the bee community take care of the queen bee, protect it, feed it. This lifespan is due to the fact that the queen has the sole duty of reproducing offspring. On average it can live 2-3 years, but sometimes it can live up to 5 years. The queen bee has a very important function in the colony and, as I previously mentioned, the queen has the longest lifespan. The cycle from the egg stage to hatching is 21 days. It is interesting that during the summer, about 1,000 worker bees die in each hive every day, but even more are born in 24 hours, because the young queen lays more than 2,000 eggs a day. In the spring and in the first half of summer, worker bees work intensively and are therefore excessively exhausted and live up to 40 days, while in the second half of summer, when grazing is reduced, they live a little longer, up to 60 days. I am saddened by this fact, but it is as it is. This affects their life expectancy, which is calculated in days. ![]() Naturally, due to the large number of functions, worker bees consume a lot of energy. ![]() These bees have numerous responsibilities: they have to collect nectar, supply water, build combs, clean them, keep the hive safe, create a real microclimate in it and feed the rest of the family: the queen, drones and larvae. In and out of the hive, the worker bees do almost all the work. Their number directly depends on the season and grazing conditions. In one community, their number ranges from a few thousand to several tens of thousands. Worker bees are the most numerous hive members. Overwintered honey bees have a much shorter lifespan of 25-30 days.īees, born in late summer, are much more likely to survive during the fall, a third of which makes a transition to the winter months.īees bred in late October make a transition into winter, most of them die in early spring. Warm days and pleasant summer weather allow the bee to feel comfortable and work calmly for 35-45 days. The lifespan of honey bees depends significantly on climatic conditions. A dirty hive negatively affects the health of all individuals and reduces their lifespan. Insect droppings remain on the walls, and these are unhygienic conditions. After wintering, be sure to clean the hive. Bees with a weakened organism and immune system will not live long. Infectious diseases or pests can affect the hive for various reasons. In favorable regions, insects live longer. Ecological situation in the breeding area.Physically tired insects do not live long. ![]() The more they collect, the more they become exhausted.

Material: Stainless steel | Color: Black | Dimensions (LxWxH): 5.63 x 2.75 x 0.75 inches | Dishwasher Safe: Yes The only thing we'd like to change, though, is the handle it can feel a little short. “With the citrus twist being such a ubiquitous and critical addition to so many cocktails, I really can’t overstate the importance of a reliable Y peeler behind the bar,” she says. She relies on OXO’s all-purpose blade and soft, cushioned handles to peel her oranges and lemons. “It was beautiful and costly, but they have a tendency to disappear from busy bar tops, and it was impossible to sharpen without being a smith!” “Of the multitudes of peelers I’ve tried and discarded or broken, I keep coming back to these little budget miracles!” Percival notes that she once had a higher-end chrome peeler. “I really can’t overstate the importance of a reliable peeler behind the bar, and the OXO Good Grips Y peeler is my workhorse peeler,” describes Joan Percival, a bartender at Proof Whiskey Bar and Craft Cocktails. ![]() Material: Stainless steel | Color: Green | Dimensions (LxWxH): 6.25 x 3 x 1 inches | Dishwasher Safe: Yes “Kuhn Rikon’s Y peelers provide perfectly straight, thin pithless citrus peels and offer lightweight maneuverability for a fraction of what bigger, clunkier, high-end peelers cost.” Ultimately, she likes this one a lot for several reasons. I buy a couple of these bad boys every year, and they last a long time and stay sharp (if they're not left in water)-it’s even worth it even if you did have to replace them annually (or more)," she says. "Remember, the blade will eventually get rusty, especially if it’s left sitting in water. They're also great because they're not terribly expensive and therefore can be easily replaced. Not to mention the fact that they're small, lightweight, and easily fit in any size hand and thus lessen the likelihood that you knick your knuckle when moving quickly.” They are inexpensive, and there’s minimal pith left when peeling citrus due to the shape and angle of the blade. “When it comes to peelers, the very inexpensive Kuhn Rikon Original Swiss Y-peelers are the best thing you can have behind your bar,” says Hartranft. ![]() Medication Safety in Seconds Newsletter - Issue 4 Volume 8 April 2018 Medication Safety in Seconds Newsletter - Issue 5 Volume Synthetic Marijuana and Potential Risk for Bleedinf UPDATE - National PBM Bulletin Heparin and Saline Syringe Recall Due to Contamination - National PBM Patient Level Recal Communication Tiered Copayĭolutegravir (Juluca, Tivicay, Triumeq) and Potential Risk for Neural Tube Defects- National PBM BulletinĪMENDMENT - Accu-Chek Aviva Plus Health Network Strips Urgent Medical Device Correction - Heparin and Saline Syringe Recall Due to Contamination - National PBM Patient Level Recall CommunicationĪccu-Chek Aviva Plus Health Network Strips Urgent Medical Device Correction - National PBM Patient Level Recall Communication To order your prescriptions only, please visit My Health eVet where you can register to manage your VA prescription refills.

EPUB files normally include an index page for navigation, and accessibility features to adjust text size or allow for text-to-speech. The EPUB format comprises three open standards – one defining content markup, one describing the ebook structure, and one packaging all the files into a compressed format. The EPUB standard is now maintained by a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working group. Amazon announced in 2022 that new Kindle models would also support EPUB files. EPUB files can be viewed on a wide range of e-readers and digital reading apps, including NOOK, Apple Books, Okular and Calibre. The format was developed in the mid-late 2000s by the International Digital Publishing Forum and is an alternative to formats like AZW, developed for the Kindle.

You can sort the tasks list by clicking on a column title. Above that, Linux will start using the swap partition on your disk, which is generally way slower than the RAM ( more details about the swap here). So, around 10% of RAM is being used, and I have plenty of margins.Ĭonsider that any computer will start to slow down when the RAM used is over 80%, so try to keep it below this threshold.

I will then answer a few common questions about memory usage on Raspberry Pi. In this article, I will share 5 ways to check the RAM usage on your Raspberry Pi and explain how to analyze the results. In a terminal, the command line “free” can give you an overview of the memory status. With a desktop interface, the easiest way to check the current RAM usage is to use the task manager. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on your Raspberry Pi’s RAM usage. Recent models have options with up to 8 GB of RAM, but this isn’t the case for all models (most are limited to 1 GB or less). One of the main limitations of Raspberry Pi boards is the amount of memory available. ![]() ![]() Related Post: Beautiful DIY Christmas Wreath Ideas Miniature Christmas Village Rag WreathĪ neat way to use up some old scraps of fabric!
