Chocolate zebra cakes1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() Add egg mixture to a butter and beat with the hand mixer until fully combined, about 3 minutes. In a separate bowl lightly whisk eggs, rest of the sugar and vanilla extract. Stop to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. ![]() In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and half (160 gr.) of sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Butter an 8 or 9-inch round pan and lightly coat with sifted flour. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350✯. Below is the demonstration how the zebra stripes are actually done.If you don’t have one, the ¼ cup will do the same effect. It makes the whole process easy, quick and clean. For even zebra stripes I used ice cream scoop.And you have an option to choose the size you want. My absolutely favorite brand is Fat Daddio’s Anodized Aluminum Round Pan with removable bottom or Regular Fat Daddio’s Anodized Aluminum Round Cake Pan. Cakes are always evenly baked, they are durable and relatively cheap. I always recommend anodized aluminum cake pans. They will brown the outside of the cake too quickly. If you see the center of the cake is underbaked, but the top is browning too quickly place an aluminum foil on top and continue baking.Here is a very detailed instruction on How to Melt Chocolate. I always prefer double boiler because it is the safest and best way to treat chocolate. There are two major ways to melt chocolate: microwave and double boiler method.This is the way my mom sometimes did, and it is absolutely delicious. If you don’t want to make chocolate glazing warm 1/3 cup of your favorite jam and spread it on top of the cake.It is delicious, easy to make, easy ingredients and the zebra stripes make this cake sophisticated enough to interest any person. If you don’t have time or strength but want to impress someone this is the cake to make. I swear I thought this cake is very complicated to make but in reality, you get the gorgeous looking cake with fancy zebra patterns, and all of this can be done in one and a half hour, including baking time. Every airy bite makes you want more so be careful with the size of your slice. But because of its lightness, this cake is hard to stop eating. Now, I’m a grown up and supposed to control my cake portion. I used to cut ¼ of the cake, poured a hot cup of tea, turned on cartoons and my mind went far away. The aroma of vanilla combined with chocolate, the air bubbles, and cloudy texture, melting chocolate glazing all of this is combined in one cake. And it looks absolutely stunning.Įvery bite of this cake brings me back to my childhood. Have you ever had a cup of coffee with the perfect melt in your mouth coffee cake? When you take a bite, and the soft air bubbles begin to melt in your mouth, and the smile spreads on your face!? Add a melting chocolate glazing to it and your whole soul will sing a song of happiness. In one way this zebra cake reminds me the coffee cake, texture and taste wise. Oh, and nuts are also optional but my husband is nuts about nuts. And chocolate glazing, because I’m a chocoholic.Added vanilla extract because we didn’t have it back in the Ukraine, only artificial vanillin.Otherwise, this is exactly the same recipe. Despite how fancy it looks, it is absolutely easy to make, and you will be amazed how effortless and fast it is.īecause of the busy schedule, my mom used to make it plain, only sometimes she topped it with jam and nuts. However, once I read my mom’s recipe it sounded simple and really doable. ![]() I always thought those stripes are a tough thing to create, and some “special skills” required. I never actually was interested in recreating it. She was baking zebra cake for us all the time. I want to share with you a very simple yet sophisticated Zebra cake with chocolate glazing that my mom used to make us very often. This is not quite traditional Ukrainian cake, but it was a regular guest in my family. I promised you some Ukrainian recipes in my About Page but haven’t posted any yet □. ![]()

Adobe photoshop elements 2021 test1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() Adobe claims that installation is 30% faster and program startup is 50% faster, thanks to the program taking up 30% less disk space. Peek-through Overlays are new Guided Edits that make it look like a photo's subject is peeking through vegetation, flowers, or other overlays and blur the background. You can now search for the step-by-step sophisticated effects that have gotten so numerous. This new feature lets you animate a selected object in an image. The program is already chockablock with photo tools and effects, but the 2023 update adds not only new creative tools, but-most excitingly-introduces a companion mobile app and a beta web version of the program. You can install Photoshop Elements on Windows 10 version 21H1 or later, and on Apple macOS version 11 or later. ![]() You also need an Intel 6th Generation or newer processor or AMD equivalent with SSE4.1 support 8GB RAM, and a monitor of at least 1,280-by-800 resolution. The updated app now takes up 1.7GB on my PC, compared with 2.5GB previously, so it saves you some disk space, but you still need 6GB of available hard-disk space, according to Adobe's documentation. You install Photoshop Express with a small helper app that downloads and sets up the software. How to Get Started with Adobe Photoshop Elements CyberLink PhotoDirector, which has features found in both Lightroom and Photoshop, costs the same one-time price as Photoshop Elements at $99.99, but is also available as a subscription for $54.99 per year, with lots of effects and stock content included. Another similar option, ACDSee Photo Studio, costs $149.99 one-time or as an $89-per-year subscription that includes four other apps for video editing and more. Unlike Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom, which start at $9.99 per month, no recurring subscription is required to keep using the Elements software.Ĭlose competitor Corel Paintshop Pro costs a one-time price of $79.99 and also offers many features found in Photoshop. If you're updating from a previous version, you pay $79.99. You can purchase Photoshop Elements either as a package with its enthusiast-level video-editing companion, Premiere Elements, for $149.99 or you can buy it alone, for $99.99. With its wealth of tools and ease of use, Photoshop Elements remains a PCMag Editors' Choice winner for enthusiast-level photo editing software. Elements provides many of Photoshop’s tools and capabilities without requiring you to sign up for a subscription, as its bigger sibling does. Like Adobe's pro-level Creative Cloud applications, new features in Elements add web functionality and take advantage of Adobe's AI technology, called Sensei. This consumer photo editing software continues to make splashy Photoshop effects possible for novices. Photoshop Elements brings much of the visual magic pioneered by Adobe Photoshop to nonprofessionals. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software. ![]()

Project highrise1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() Similarly, you also gain Buzz from people as they shop within your walls which can then be used to promote various aspects of your tower to generate more traffic, lower prices and more interest.įrom time to time, you’ll also be given the chance to participate in a few ‘missions’. You can also unlock the ability to have more than one building facility and maintenance workers – which is essential once your tower begins to get big. For example, you can unlock an underground metro station which will be used by people who live/work in your building as well as random people who are passing through who may want to visit your shops. These will allow you to spend your excess influence points on new abilities/rooms. I’ve dabbled in these for a few hours but I wasn’t very good so I went back to the sandbox mode, which is where I’ve spent about 20 hours so far as I’ve worked on three towers.Īs you gain influence points you can unlock new things, like a Metro station.Īs you progress, gain prestige and influence with the tenants, you’ll be able to build new, unique rooms. However, when you step back and look at it, you could see the Scenarios as Project Highrise‘s form of a campaign as you’re learning new things and getting better as you utilise skills you obtained in previous missions to overcome the later ones. A process I’ve been quite vocal on previously for disliking. Upon getting one medal in those unlocked a few more for each one etc… So there is a sense of progression as you get given progressively more difficult scenarios to play through but only after you’ve completed earlier ones.Īt first, I didn’t like this as it reminded me of the ‘three-star progression’ methods used in mobile games and a lot of console games these days. For example, you can do “The Merchandise Mart” first and once you get at least one medal in that one, two others unlock. The issue I had with these though is you can’t just play any of them – you have to do them in order. In total, there are 29 scenarios to play through, each with three medals that can be earned based on your outcome within each challenge. Again, as this edition has all previous DLC, a lot of the missions in here seem to have come from those DLC packs. The second mode in Project Highrise is the long list of pre-defined Scenarios for you to play through. The tutorials are great – they really help you out. You also have the option for unlimited cash at this point – but enabling this will disable all your trophies/achievements. As this has all the previously released DLC, backdrops include places like Las Vegas and London – although I don’t think this alters gameplay in any way other than visually. You can name your tower, choose from four difficulty levels, each one offering less money and more picky consumers, pick the size of your ‘lot’, and also pick the backdrop. Once you’ve selected the ‘New Game’ option, you’re given a few choices which will make it easier or harder on yourself. Let’s talk about the sandbox first, as it’s the mode everyone will jump into first as they get to grips with the game and learn what they can and can’t do in order to be more efficient. So, what do you do? There are two modes in Project Highrise, the aforementioned sandbox mode and a list of Scenarios. Both work fine, only one will look beautiful and the other looks messy but still kind of works. However, for those of us with little to no imagination, you can just as easily create a stumpy looking building which is the equivalent to the first-ever house you build in Minecraft – a cube built out of random parts you had lying around. Project Highrise, at its core, is a free-for-all open sandbox for you to live out your architectural dreams and create the skyscrapers you think about every time you close your eyes. ![]() She looks happyish I guess – very messy tenant and a broken clock though! It’s also published by Kasedo Games, a division of Kalypso Media – a publisher who needs no introduction with their incredibly long list of micromanagement and resource management titles such as Tropico and Railway Empire. Project Highrise: Architect’s Edition is developed by SomaSim, a team that has released one other city simulation game previously. It’s a resource and strategic management sim in which you must build more facilities as you advance vertically or horizontally all whilst listening, and adapting to your tenant’s requests and needs. Well, Project Highrise: Architect’s Edition is basically your modern-day Sim Tower experience which has just landed on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC which includes the base game and all previous DLCs which were released. Does anyone remember the infamous Sim Tower game? Personally, I never played that but I did play Smooth Operator which has a similar concept, only your building and running a call centre rather than a commercial tower. ![]()

![]() For example, 68% of patients who visited a physician at an emergency room received antibiotic eye drops while this figure dropped to 36% for those who saw an ophthalmologist. It has been reported that nearly 60% of all patients with acute conjunctivitis receive antibiotic eye drops and the vast majority receive their prescription from a non-ophthalmologist physician. It is estimated that the cost of treating bacterial conjunctivitis is $857 million annually in the United States alone. This imposes a great economic burden to the healthcare system and occupies a great proportion of the office visits in many medical specialties. More than 80% of all acute cases of conjunctivitis are reported to be diagnosed by non-ophthalmologists including internists, family medicine physicians, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners. Many subjects are affected with conjunctivitis worldwide, and it is one of the most frequent reasons for office visits to general medical and ophthalmology clinics. ![]() Effective management of conjunctivitis includes timely diagnosis, appropriate differentiation of the various etiologies, and appropriate treatment.Ĭonjunctivitis is characterized by inflammation and swelling of the conjunctival tissue, accompanied by engorgement of the blood vessels, ocular discharge, and pain. Long-term usage of eye drops with preservatives in a patient with conjunctival irritation and discharge points to the toxic conjunctivitis as the underlying etiology. Allergic conjunctivitis is encountered in nearly half of the population and the findings include itching, mucoid discharge, chemosis, and eyelid edema. ![]() Bacterial conjunctivitis is encountered less frequently and it is the second most common cause of infectious conjunctivitis. Viral conjunctivitis remains to be the most common overall cause of conjunctivitis. Concurrent physical exam findings with relevant history may reveal the presence of a systemic condition with involvement of the conjunctiva. Additionally, a thorough medical and ophthalmic history should be obtained and a thorough physical examination should be done in patients with atypical findings and chronic course. In the management of suspected cases of conjunctivitis, alarming signs for more serious intraocular conditions, such as severe pain, decreased vision, and painful pupillary reaction, must be considered. Use a new washcloth for a second application or clean the washcloth prior to reuse.Conjunctivitis is a commonly encountered condition in ophthalmology clinics throughout the world. Use the moist warm compress for about 5 to 20 minutes at least once a day or as directed by your eye doctor. If you prefer the towel a little more wet, then bend over a sink or bowl instead so the water doesn’t get into your eyes.Įither roll up the washcloth or fold it into a rectangle and apply it to your eyelids with gentle pressure. Get comfortable by laying down and closing your eyes. Squeeze out excess water but keep it moist.

Dimmable led panel light 260a1/3/2024 ![]() ![]() They have a built-in mechanism that will conflict with a wall-mounted dimmer, causing the bulb to flicker, hum or simply not turn on. It’s also important to remember that smart bulbs are not designed to work with dimmer switches. Furthermore, to gain maximum benefits from a DALI system, all your light fittings should be independently wired, meaning that retrofits, while possible, are certainly more complex. Certain fittings require dedicated control cabling alongside power cables between fixtures, such as the DMX and DALI options. Once purchased, they’re extremely efficient to run, which should offset the initial higher cost.Įase of installation is another factor to consider, especially if your lighting project has a tighter timeframe and budget. For example, a DALI network arguably provides the best user experience, but the advanced technology that facilitates this can come at a higher price than other more established solutions. The driver must be designed to understand and interpret the signalling by the dimming device for dimming to occur.Īnother decision you will have to make will involve finding the balance between cost and control. This is due to the complex circuitry of the LED’s built-in driver.Īlthough it is the driver which dictates whether an LED product will dim, the driver’s performance largely depends on its compatibility with the dimming device. If a LED bulb is used with an incandescent dimmer switch, the bulb may only work at full brightness, may hum or flicker at certain levels or may even not turn on at all. ![]() Unlike incandescent bulbs, which dim indiscriminately, LEDs either dim or they don’t. In many cases, existing dimmer switches don’t work well with newer LED bulbs. Even the most experienced electrician or specifier may have trouble remembering which dimmer switch is best suited to your dimmable led light fittings. The main issue to be aware of is compatibility. However, now that there are so many options, there are some things that you’d be wise to consider before making a final decision. The innovations we’ve seen in dimmable led lights means that there’s now a workable solution for everybody, and you’ve never had more control over the brightness, colour and ambience of your lighting design. ![]() CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CHOOSING AN LED LIGHT DIMMER ![]()

Full metal jacket drill sergeant1/3/2024 ![]() Kubrick originally offered the part of Joker to Anthony Michael Hall, but an eight-month-long argument about monetary compensation eventually ended the collaboration. ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL WAS OFFERED THE PART OF JOKER. It turns out that maybe Stanley didn’t know anything about me and Val Kilmer might have been responsible for me getting the part in Full Metal Jacket." 4. ![]() I knew was making a film with Warner Bros., so we asked Harold Becker to send a print of Vision Quest, and we asked Alan Parker to send some dailies from Birdy. ![]() And Val says, 'Now you’re doing Kubrick’s film.' When we finished our breakfast I called my manager. "I had been on this run of films- Birdy, Mrs. I’m sick of you,'" Modine recalled to Unframed. When Alan Grier introduced the two, Kilmer told Modine: "'Yeah, I know who you are. While innocently enjoying pancakes at a Sunset Boulevard diner with David Alan Grier, Modine noticed Val Kilmer giving him the stink eye.
