![]() ![]() If you have installed macOS Monterey, but the 'Setting Up Your Mac' message appears but won't go away, then reboot your Mac or MacBook. ![]() ![]() macOS Monterey is stuck on 'Setting Up Your Mac' If this means you're considering a new device, then check out our best MacBooks and Macs for more buying advice. If your Mac or MacBook is older than any of the devices on that list, then it means you won't be able to download and install macOS Monterey. These are the Mac devices that can run macOS Monterey: If you're having problems installing macOS Monterey, you should first make sure your Mac or MacBook is compatible. (Image credit: Apple) How to fix macOS Monterey install problems There are several possible reasons why the macOS is having issues installing. If you are having this issue, try starting your Mac in Safe Mode (hold down Shift on the keyboard while it boots), then try downloading and installing macOS Monterey again. In addition, there’s been a lot of complaints regarding the download stopping, and the system throwing up a "gateway timed out" or "bad gateway" error. How to fix "gateway timed out" error when downloading macOS Monterey You may be able to restart the download from there.įinally, try logging out of the Store to see if that restarts the download. Delete them, then reboot your Mac and try to download macOS Monterey again.Īnd, if that doesn’t work, try opening the App Store and clicking ‘View My Account’ to see if there is anything in the ‘Unfinished Downloads’ section. If you’re still having problems downloading macOS Monterey, try to find the partially-downloaded macOS 12 files and a file named ‘Install macOS 12’ on your hard drive. It may also be worth switching from a Wi-Fi connection to an Ethernet cable, to ensure your internet connection is as reliable as possible. If you're running low, open up the Apple menu, click 'About this Mac' then go to Storage > Manage and free up some disk space there. To make sure you do, open up the Apple menu and click on 'About This Mac.' Select 'Storage' then check to make sure you have enough space on your hard drive. Typically, a macOS download fails if you do not have enough storage space available on your Mac. Not enough disk space to install macOS MontereyĪnother of the most common macOS Monterey problems is not having enough space on your computer. If it has a green dot, then there's no issue, but other colors suggest there's a problem with Apple delivering the update. There should be a section labelled 'macOS Software Update'. You can also check the live status of the Apple Server to make sure everything is alright on Apple's end. If you think this is the case, try again later on a non-peak time to see if the download works then. It may be because a lot of people are trying to download macOS Monterey at the same time. There are a few reasons why you may encounter this issue. That content can’t be downloaded at this time. Installation requires downloading important content. A few get the following error message: “Installation of macOS could not continue. Others, on the other hand, are seeing "The network connection was lost" error messages when they try to download macOS Monterey. One common macOS Monterey problem that people have encountered is that macOS 12 fails to download, with some users seeing an error message that says "Installation failed." (Image credit: Shutterstock) How to fix macOS Monterey download problems My CPU is a desktop i5-8600K (Coffee Lake) if that's important.The macOS 12 failing to download is one of the most common macOS Monterey problems people encounter. They don't want to help in the official forums and apparently their devs don't even test their builds against the latest MacOS release.Īny idea what could be wrong, and how to fix it? Do I need some new ExtraDataItem magic in my vbox file? I tried adding a configuration that was suggested in web discussions of setting up a Monterey VM, but it didn't fix the problem. There is one newer VB release (6.1.32), but it doesn't fix the issue. More often than not, it will kernel panic before reaching the desktop, and if I do reach the desktop, it will kernel panic within a minute or so. If, however, I choose 4 CPUs, I'm lucky to make it to a fully booted state. This leaves a "kernel panic" log inside the guest, but Virtualbox doesn't report any useful information in its own logs about the reset. If you select 1 or 2 CPUs, it will generally boot OK, but kernel panics soon, anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour generally. However, when that image is upgraded to Monterey via the official installer, the machine becomes unstable.

![]() Obsidian is found in many places in North America, Armenia, Italy, Mexico, Greece, and Scotland. Other impurities result in stones known as snowflake obsidian, golden obsidian, apache tears, and rainbow obsidian. Pure obsidian is dark, but impurities can result in dark green, brown, black, and gray coloring. It has been used experimentally in modern times by some surgeons because its cutting edge is many times sharper than surgical steel, and much smoother, creating a cleaner cut with less tissue damage, inflammation, and scarring. It breaks to form very sharp edges, and was therefore used since ancient times for arrowheads and other tools.īecause is has no crystal structure, obsidian blades can reach molecular thinness. Obsidian sits at a 5-5.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. The lava must cool rapidly, before in it has time for crystal growth.There needs to be a large amount of silica in the environment (this accounts for 70% of obsidian’s composition). ![]() Obsidian is a volcanic glass created when lava erupts from a volcano, but only when certain conditions are met: It clears the aura of negative energy, and can also be used for scrying.

The quality of cement tiles varies from manufacturer to manufacturer based on 3 major factors:ġ. Non-mineral-based pigments fade with age. High-quality producers use mineral-based pigments only. The pigment layer is usually 3–4 mm thick.Īnother difference is the quality of the pigments used. The higher pressure (1,500 PSI) permits a thicker pigment layer to be embedded into the cement layer. Larger manufacturers use electric-powered hydraulic presses that produce a consistently higher quality product. Small companies employ a hand-operated hydraulic press the quality of the tiles varies due to inconsistent pressure. The primary difference between manufacturers is the hydraulic method used. There are numerous cement tile manufacturers worldwide. Cement tiles being handmade are expected to have slight imperfections, which give them character and depth. The pigment composition is a mixture of high-quality white Portland cement, marble powder, fine sand, and natural mineral colour pigments. The metal mold is handmade following specific design drawings. Eventually, the tile became so popular that she began importing the tiles from several countries and selling them to retailers throughout the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.Ĭement tiles are made by hand, one at a time, using mineral pigments, cement, a mold, and an hydraulic press. In the 1980s, artist and designer, Nina Long began bringing cement tiles from Mexico into Florida for her clients. ![]() Their popularity began to wane in the 1920s but spread again in the 40s primarily in California and Florida. It was used in thousands of landmark public buildings and palaces. Around the turn of the 20th century, the tiles were very popular and were considered a high-end floor covering. In the United States, several sources say the first tiles were made near the country's first Portland cement plant. They were exhibited in the Paris (France) International Exposition of 1867 by the Catalan company Garret & Rivet. The pigment layer is hydraulically pressed into the surface and becomes a part of the tile.Ĭement tiles appeared in the 1850s in Catalonia, Spain. They derive their durability from the combination of finely dehydrated ground Portland cement layer and a coarser layer of sand and cement. that did not allow for such decorative embellishment but were cheaper.Ĭement tiles are not fired there is no glaze layer on the surface of the tile. They represented a revolution in flooring in their day because they were much cheaper, more durable and easier to make than the previous handmade glazed ceramic tiles and were therefore more universally available for houses, and they allowed for profuse decorative patterns, their age of splendour being the end of the 19th to the middle of the 20th centuries, before they were gradually superseded by newer technologies as of the 1960s, such as terrazzo, salt-glazed stoneware, etc. Another origin is from Viviers, in the south of France, location of the famous ciment factory Lafarge. They appeared in Catalonia (Spain) in the 1850s, and have been widely used in Europe and America. Cement tiles or hydraulic tiles are handmade colourful tiles used as floor and wall tiling. ![]() They were her most ferocius, heavy infantry unit. But they just became conquered by Medusa. The Juggerknights, were sometime a proud race like Speartons. Similar to the technique in the original Stick War: Legacy. Strategy: Waste their bombers with one Swordwrath, spam archidons, and don't use shield wall between the giants, just run around them when they attack, and get into their back and keep doing this with the support of the archidons, it will be easy to take down the Giants. The Order Empire wins the battle, but Medusa will not surrender yet. Medusa started to send some of her minions, and they are kamikaze units that explode all over their enemy, along with some Giants. All we have been doing for years is making ourselves weak." They then allied with the Order Empire to fight the Chaos Empire, and reclaim the lands. Then, some rebel forces appears with their leader who said "That monster was right. And now, after the Order captured one of her "babies", she decides she will wait no more and they will feel the wrath of the Chaos Empire. Medusa said that she thinks that Inamorta belongs to the Chaos Empire because they have been in Inamorta for a long time, and when they were fighting for lands that don't belong to them, the Chaos Empire was gaining in strength, waiting for defeat anyone who wanted to control Inamorta. Then, 2 speartons, 2 swordwraths and the Giant were in front off the Chaos Empire Statue, and then, Medusa, the leader of the Chaos Empire appears. The Order Empire defeated it, but oddly did not kill it, and decided to enslave the forces and use it in battles. ![]() In the Massive Battle level on the campaign, a giant attack the order Empire. In the end, however, the Order Empire triumphed over Medusa. Even with the combined forces of Swordwrath, Speartons, Magikill, Merics, Archidons, Shadowrath, Enslaved Giants, and later Albowtross, it was an incredibly difficult feat to bring down the Chaos Empire. ![]() Additionally, units with the Vamp skin are immune to Poison.Īny source of healing can remove Poison if enough health is restored, including the Meric's Heal, Vampiric Soul, Healing Ward, and Chaos units' health regeneration.Īdditionally, Dead units take 50% less damage from Poison.The Chaos Empire was the Order Empire's strongest rival.

Cleveland used the selection on Henry Jordan, a defensive tackle from Virginia. ![]() He played 11 games with Cleveland as a rookie and never appeared in the NFL again.Īlthough there is some spotty history about NFL trades before 1960, especially those involving draft picks, the consensus is that a fifth-round pick was sent back to the Browns. Donaldson, a guard, was King’s teammate at Kentucky and was drafted by the Browns in the third round of the 1953 NFL Draft. His last action came as a member of the AFL’s Denver Broncos, where he made two starts and had two interceptions in the league’s inaugural season of 1960. King played six games with the Packers after the trade, then was released and signed with the Eagles for the rest of the season. He appeared in nine games with Cleveland as a rookie and was traded to Green Bay after taking a year off in 1955. ![]() King, a defensive tackle from Kentucky, was signed by the Browns as an undrafted free agent in 1954. (Part One) April 29, 1956: Packers acquired: DT Don King and G Gene Donaldson Browns acquired: A fifth-round pick in the 1957 NFL Draft (Part Two) September 15, 1959: Packers acquired: DT Henry Jordan Browns acquired: A fourth-round pick in the 1960 NFL Draft Although the team’s other star passers, Bart Starr and Aaron Rodgers, came to Green Bay through the draft, several other trades on the team’s top 10 list included quarterbacks. In Green Bay’s case, the acquisition of little-used Falcons backup Brett Favre led to 10 postseason berths and two Super Bowl appearances from 1993-2004. Much like the Broncos with John Elway, the Packers saw their franchise fortunes turn around after making a trade for a quarterback. The infamous Ford Mustang II is arguably the least liked of the Mustang family, in fact many Mustang enthusiast refuse to recognize it as a true Mustang.

Their plan take a stock block 5.3L junkyard engine, add a cam, Total Engine Airflow ported heads, a performance intake system, 75lb. Hot Rod tries to find out what it would take to grenade a 5.3L LS truck engine. ![]() Using a larger radius, like 3/4", broadens out the resonant pressure wave rpm range, but the compression boosting pressure wave is greatly diminished and almost unnoticed by the engine.Hot Rod Magazine’s article ‘Big Bang Theory’ In the real world, on high-rpm IR IC engine, using a minimum amount of inlet radius gives the best wave strength and a power boost of 2% to 4% over a 3000 to 3500 rpm range. Because the greatest losses to flow occur near the valve seat, actual overall gain from any improvement of the entry flow would be much less. This means that total engine airflow would not increase by the amount suggested by these figures, which apply only to the entry alone, as the inlet end is never the smallest or most restrictive part of the system. There is always some attempt to provide some radius at the entry. In practice these latter types of entry are never used for engine intakes. The flow coefficient of a perfect entry would be 1.0 while the coefficient for a sharp edged entry would be 0.6 and a re-entrant plain pipe 0.5. The acceleration of air flow into a duct is inherently a highly efficient process and the difference between even the crudest radius inlet, and the most aerodynamic shape possible is slight, amounting to no more than a few percent. A longer inlet pipe will create a later intake pressure wave that will help keep the air in the chamber until the intake valve closes.ĭetailed velocity stack working principle However, it is actually that the intake valve is closing too late and the combustion chamber is simply overfilling and blowing back out the intake port, before the intake valve closes. It is commonly related that "stand off" (air–fuel mix that gets pushed back out of the port, usually at full throttle / low rpm) is somehow captured by installing a longer intake pipe (stack). Most current aftermarket stacks are designed to be run "in" the airbox and a company that does research well will have some applications that have all the same length and some applications that have differing lengths of stacks on different cylinders. ![]() The length of the stack is known to have a direct effect on a particular engine's boosted power range. Modified engines often have the original air box and associated ducting removed and velocity stacks are installed as accessories.

VoIP devices usually operate differently from traditional landline phones, including being able to send and receive faxes, text messages, instant messaging, web browsing and video streaming without having to dial out. With VoIP, you have the option to use your phone as a mobile device with calling features such as conference calls and video conferencing, or as a traditional landline for those times when you need to reach someone quickly at home on an emergency basis. You don’t have to pay for expensive dedicated lines or separate mobile phones. VoIP services are cheaper than traditional landlines due to their low cost structure and reliance on data transmission rather than voice calls being made directly between two parties on either end of a line (as with landlines). This type of communication has become much easier since its introduction because of advances in broadband internet access, high-speed data networking equipment and software development. It’s a technology that allows you to make phone calls (and other voice-based services) over the internet, rather than through a traditional landline phone system. VoIP stands for voice-over-internet-protocol. ![]() This type of phone service also has the ability to provide both traditional phone service as well as video calling. This development has given VoIP the edge as it possesses some clear advantages over landlines such as lower costs, increased flexibility, greater mobility and security. Landlines offer voice communications over dedicated circuits via analog signals sent over copper wires, whereas VoIP uses IP packets to send data across the internet. The use of landlines has declined rapidly in the past few years since the rise of VoIP. ![]() Small master bathroom ideas have a way of cutting corners. The shower and bathtub walls are mossy green-gray while the vanity is white marble and the floor has a mossy-brown shade of glossy tile. The corner shower leaves adequate room for a tub. But that back-lean does make the bathroom seem bigger, and that’s a good thing. The styling in this bathroom makes it seem to lean back. More beige stone storage is tucked into the corner opposite the bathtub. The vanity is beige stone with two floating open shelves. It’s used for the walls, floor, and tub coping. Its main motif is black tile with white grout. This is possibly the smallest bathroom we’ve looked at so far. But by using the doorway as a touchpoint, the narrow path left enough room for a tub on one side and a double sink on the other, all sunk into speckled granite. These homeowners were probably told they couldn’t fir a tub and twin sinks into their small master bathroom. A single stool is all the furniture your bathroom needs. Meanwhile, the will opposite the picture wall is tiled in bright yellow mosaic that shifts the mood of the entire master bathroom. But now, the rear wall is gray concrete, matching the stone floor. We’ve already seen this bathroom in green. ![]() You may be unswayed by the power of color, so here’s a persuasive demonstration. A gleaming floor lamp rises over the curvy standalone bathtub, and a stool hold your bath accessories. Below the concrete is a wood panel floor with aged diagonal parquet. The floor beneath the bathtub is concrete too, and the slab is slightly raised. But instead of colorful tiles, the wall is rough concrete. Here’s a small master bathroom with similar size and styling. The tub faces a French door so there’s a gorgeous view and lots of natural light. The inside of the tub is white, catching the white grout from the walls. The freestanding tub is a bright green that matches the mosaic wall tiles. In this master bathroom, color is still the central feature. A shower faucet is fixed above the tub, and the non-white sections of the wall and floor have gray tile with concentric arcs and circles in its patterns. The small master bathroom has pink accents on the wall, floor, and coping. This bathroom may seem childish, but it’s great if you’re secure enough in your masculinity to share a pink bathroom with your partner. A recessed bench behind the tub lets you store bath items or place potted plants. In this case, the bathtub fills one whole side of the bathroom. You could choose to sneak in a shower, but it depends on your priorities. There’s no storage space, so a quarter-circle stone caddy and recessed shelf are built into the shower wall.Īt the other extreme is a small master bathroom that only has a tub. In this case, the corner shower is walled with white tile and floored with a pale mosaic. There’s even a corner tub opposite the toilet.įor the barely-there master en-suite, you may not have space for anything beyond a shower. The open stone vanity and shelving make the bathroom feel more open, even though it only has one sink. In this bathroom, elongated rectangles from the recessed lights, floating shelves, and floor tiles. You can employ long, narrow shapes that make your space seem larger. Linear layouts are helpful for small spaces. The bathroom is all white except the black shower floor. The shower cubicle lies on one side while a toilet and pedestal sink can be tucked into another corner. Instead, the vanity becomes a dresser, with a large mirror, narrow drawers, and a slot where you can tuck in your make-up chair. To maximize the space in this small master bathroom, the sink is separate from the vanity. And the circular sinks are stainless steel to match the shower frames. The warm browns on the floor and walls make the room seem bigger. The longer side of the wall houses a speckled countertop with twin sinks and a large mirror. One corner houses the shower enclosure while the other corner has a toilet. This small master bath is visually divided into sections. The Spartan style of black tile and concrete help to set the mood. Two circular vessel sinks free up wall space while elevating your style. The floating vanity has a single row of drawers, leaving lots of floor space below. In this small master bathroom, everything is laid against one wall. ![]() When you have limited space to play with, you want to maximize your surfaces. Let’s look into some design ideas that could enlarge your small bathroom. So you need something simple and workable. You don’t want to feel claustrophobic … but you don’t want to spend excessively on your refurbishment either. In such cases, you need creative small master bathroom ideas. You may have to squash your bathroom into a converted closet. Meaning you may not have much room to play with. But the bathroom wasn’t part of the initial construction plan. Often, you have to build it yourself as you refurbish your home. If your home has a built-in master en-suite, you’re lucky. The basic structure still remains the same: breaking work into 25-minute intervals, known as Pomodoros, separated by short breaks. The Pomodoro Technique has only grown more and more popular over the years and has evolved to include several variations. So, why is it called the Pomodoro Technique? It all comes back to Francesco’s tomato-shaped kitchen timer! “Pomodoro” comes from the Italian word for tomatoes, Pomodori. The system was designed to help him increase his productivity and concentration by breaking them up into shorter, more manageable chunks, with regular breaks in between to avoid burnout. ![]() He developed the technique as a university student, using a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to break down his work into 25-minute intervals. The Pomodoro Technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Bye-bye procrastination and burnout, hello productivity! Who invented the Pomodoro Technique? These frequent short breaks are designed to release stress and promote sustained concentration. Every 4 sessions, or Pomodoros, you take an extended break lasting 15-30 minutes. The Pomodoro Technique is actually quite simple. All it asks of you is to take regular breaks at certain intervals: 25 minutes of focused work with 5 minutes to take a break, rest, and recover. ![]() A simple explanation of the Pomodoro Technique What is the Pomodoro Technique? Throughout this article, we’ll explore the history of Pomodoro, the benefits it offers, and how you can start implementing it into your next project or study session. ![]() The technique has grown increasingly popular, changing how thousands of professionals see their workday. Essentially, it trains you to work with the time you have, not against it. Have you heard of the Pomodoro Technique? It’s a time management method designed to curb distractions and reward you for your focus with regular breaks. |
