![]() For this reason, combined with the reality of modern-day depletion of minerals in our soil, the intake of mineral-rich water becomes even more important to our health. All minerals in water are in their ionic form, meaning they are more easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract than minerals in foods and supplements. The typical minerals found in water are magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium, along with some trace amounts of iron and zinc. The primary takeaway is that minerals dissolve in the spring water as it flows through underground rocks, leaving us with pure, alkaline, and health-promoting H2O that is free of synthetic toxins. There is a lot of fascinating information here about the different types of springs, how they flow and where they are located. While spring water, well water, artesian water, and raw water have some differences in the way that they are sourced, they all provide more essential nutrients and minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium. ![]() “Natural” foods are often laden with pesticides, genetically engineered ingredients, and high fructose corn syrup. For example, the “natural” label on a food package doesn’t hold the same weight as the organic label. Think of these marketing terms and labels as you would for the natural food industry. These labels are not regulated, and the same goes for “purified water,” which may still contain potentially harmful chemicals and microbes. The organic filtration process of spring water (from safe and reliable sources) offers a very rich mineral profile – more than any other type of water – but this should not be confused with brands marketing their products with “glacier water” or “mountain water,” for example. The EPA defines spring water as being any water that originates from an underground aquifer and is collected as it flows naturally to the earth’s surface or via a borehole that taps into the underground source. Spring water is also commonly referred to as raw water, well water, and artesian water, although there are some differences. What is Spring Water?įirst, let’s clarify some of the verbiage used when talking about spring water as the marketing lingo is confusing. In this article, we aim to demystify spring water, it’s health benefits, and how it compares to other types of drinking water. ![]() ![]() Spring water is naturally rich in minerals and stands on its own when compared to municipal tap or bottled water, which have their respective levels of chlorine, antibacterial chemicals, and pharmaceuticals – although the big plastic industry has gone to great lengths to deny these truths.įor the most part, consumers have been convinced that bottled water is better than municipal sources when in reality, over half of the bottled water sold in the marketplace is repackaged and resold from municipal tap systems. ![]() Spring water has been around since the dawn of time and its natural mineral content can provide unparalleled health benefits. Unfortunately, the bottled water industry further adds to the drinking water dilemma by failing to disclose where they actually source water, and make misleading and downright false claims on their product packaging. Many people opt for bottled water to avoid the chemicals that are abundant in tap water systems, but the quality of bottled water is questionable, at best. The topic of drinking water is shrouded in misinformation, so it’s difficult to make an informed decision as to what type of water you should consume. Having access to pure, clean, and mineral-rich drinking water should never be considered an expensive luxury, it is essential for a healthy mind and body and it is what humans have been consuming for millennia. This natural resource is essential for purification, removal of toxins, and it allows every organ (including your brain which is 75% water) to function as it should. Spring water is rich in minerals which is important when you consider that the human body is nearly two-thirds water. ![]()

![]() No one knows the real impact, so it's hard to know if actions change that impact or not.- Katie Nickels JTallying Up Payments Seriously, though, I think this is a huge part of the problem, especially around the ransomware ecosystem, but for cybercrime in general. "Furthermore, this data may be of use on the law enforcement side: As we saw with the Colonial Pipeline hack, law enforcement does have the ability to recover some payments, so it would be great if Ransomwhere can further aid their efforts."Ĭable says he was inspired to create Ransomwhere by a tweet posted by Katie Nickels, director of intel at Red Canary, who on June 8 said the overall impact of cybercrime is essentially unknown. Ransomwhere can help fill that gap," Cable says. "As we consider policy proposals to change the state of ransomware economics, we will need data to assess whether these actions are successful. Without such data, we can't know the full impact of ransomware and whether taking certain actions changes the picture."Ĭable hopes the website will call attention to the size of the ransomware problem. The researcher added: "Today, there's no comprehensive public data on the total number of ransomware payments. "And it's crowdsourced, so anyone can submit reports of ransomware they've been infected with or otherwise observed. It's public, so anyone can view and download the data," Cable wrote on Twitter.

More testing is needed but here are my thoughts and points for the build: ![]() ![]() ![]() When looking at multi-core results, the held its own against the Asus ZenBook Pro 14 Duo in Geekbench 5, Handbrake, and Cinebench. This was particularly true in balanced mode and with single-core tests. Interestingly, it was slower in the PCMark 10 Complete benchmark that tests a variety of productivity, multimedia, and creative tasks.Ĭompared to laptops with the same CPU but thicker chassis and more robust thermal solutions, the was a step behind. It was 29% faster in Geekbench 5, 24% faster in performance mode in our Handbrake test that encodes a 420MB video as H.265, and 16% faster in Cinebench R23. Overall, the provided a meaningful bump in performance over the with a 45-watt, 4-core/8-thread Core i7-11800H. The XPS 15’s thermal performance was predictable given the laptop’s size. ![]() That’s different than the XPS 15 9510, which didn’t demonstrate a meaningful difference in performance mode in all but one benchmark. As you can see from the XPS 15 9520’s scores, switching to its performance mode made a significant difference in most of our benchmarks, particularly in its single-core performance. ![]() Given the prevalence of manufacturer utilities that allow the user to choose between modes that tune the fans and CPU speed to run cooler, more quietly, or faster, I’ve started reporting both “balanced” and “performance” mode benchmark results. Still, it’s a thin laptop that can only move so much air, and I was looking forward to seeing its Intel 12th-gen performance.Ī quick note about performance modes. Dell paid a lot of attention to thermal design with the XPS 15, using two fans and heat pipes along with hidden exhaust vents and a slight angle to increase airflow. It’s been a solid performer in other laptops we’ve tested, most of which have been larger and/or thicker machines. My review unit was equipped with the 12th-gen Intel Core i7-12700H, a 45-watt CPU with 14 cores (six Performance and eight Efficiency) and 20 threads. Wireless connectivity is robust with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Dell includes a USB-C to USB-A and HDMI adapter, but the lack of legacy ports on the machine is disappointing and one of the costs of such a thin chassis. PortsĬonnectivity is limited to three USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a full-size SD card reader. The HP Spectre x360 16 is one such laptop, and it’s wider and deeper than the XPS 15 while being thicker at 0.78 inches and heavier at 4.45 pounds. We’ve seen more 16-inch laptops arriving with displays that are just slightly larger. The XPS 15 is thin at 0.71 inches and light at 4.31 pounds, but the Surface Laptop 4 is thinner and lighter at 0.58 inches and 3.4 pounds. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 comes close, being almost as wide while being deeper thanks to its taller 15-inch 3:2 and larger bezels, but it’s not nearly as powerful. The XPS 15 is about as small as you can make a laptop with a 15.6-inch 16:10 display, thanks to the tiny bezels mentioned above. The overall attention to detail is palpable and helps justify the laptop’s high price. Even the hinge is well designed, with a dual-clutch mechanism that makes opening with one hand a breeze while holding the display firmly in place. Apple’s MacBooks Pros, Lenovo’s ThinkPads, and HP’s Spectres are as well-built, but few others can match the XPS 15. It’s also incredibly well-built, with no bending, flexing, or twisting in the lid, keyboard deck, or chassis bottom. The design isn’t just aesthetically perfect. The only laptop that comes close to providing such an attractive design is HP’s Spectre x360 16, which is also more extravagant. ![]() Thanks to the smallest display bezels you’ll find in a 15-inch laptop, which make up a 92.9% screen-to-body ratio, the XPS 15 looks ultra-modern with a screen that seems to float in the air. The overall attention to detail is palpable and helps justify the laptop’s high price.Įach model has the same diamond-cut, double-anodized side edges that are attractive and functional, providing scratch resistance that helps keep the metal pristine despite plugging and unplugging peripherals. ![]() ![]() ![]() A mod manager was added, allowing the user to download, enable, disable, and delete add-ons. RTB's in-game features vastly improved Blockland's appeal. Unapproved Add-Ons can, however, still be used. This was to prevent any damaged or harmful add-ons from being available for (easier) public download by reviewing the code of an add-on, and then deciding if it is of high enough quality to be presented on their downloads system. RTB was moderated by Ephialtes, Lub, Space Guy, and a few other less-active users. Many theories have been made on why RTB was shut down, one of the most popular being that Ephialtes decided to quit blockland and no longer wanted to fund RTB. The website no longer exists and when trying to turn on the add-on, it will not connect to the RTB servers (since they no longer exist). Prior to March 1st, 2014, on the RTB website a notice was posted saying "This service will be unavailable from March 1st, 2014, please download anything you wish to keep before this date". After the beta test period was over, the update was released to the public boasting a totally revamped chat system, no longer relying on the often-down IRC system, and a miniature social networking feature allowing for a friends list, and allowing friends to easily connect to one anothers' servers. Information on the beta can be found at the ingame manual. In late 2011, a beta for a later version of RTB was released to a select 50 members. At the time, it featured an ingame portal to the RTB website, in which the users could download mods from, a colorset manager, easier Add-Ons manager, and a portal to the IRC chatroom, #rtb. Return To Blockland as a content manager was released in late 2008, when Ephialtes, it's creator, posted it on the Add-Ons board.

People are often like that, they take the easy way out. ![]() Than having to go figure out your own mistakes and admit that you screwed up. So you should really use your own judgement, and rely less on the software tools alone.įrankly, it's usually easier to blame the problem on someone else. Then of course, I should point out that not all malicious software is detected, and some of them that are detected as malicious are in fact legitimate (false positives). Since you already had the anti-virus installed, it would likely have picked up the trail on this supposed Trojan, had it really been a Trojan that is. To get a proper analysis of it you would have to run an anti-virus program on it. But there is also a chance that the very same file from Microsoft has been deliberately removed, and that the malicious program has not only the same name as the original, but is also stored in the same folder where the Microsoft file used to be. That's a good way to start inspecting the suspecious file. If you end up in some other directory or folder, and it's not under the Windows folder, then chances are you are dealing with a malicious program. If you end up at C:\Windows\System32 in Explorer, then you're good. If you open Task Manager, go to Details tab (Windows 8) or Process tab (Windows 7) and you see the process name "csrss.exe" you can right click on it (or each of them if there are several), and click "Open file location". One way to get an indication of whether or not this process is legit is to check the location of the file. So other malicious programs can use the same name to mask their true nature. Csrss is responsible for console windows, creating and/or deleting threads, and some parts of the 16-bit virtual MS-DOS environment.īut as always with Windows executable files, the name does not have to match the actual program. Csrss stands forclient/server run-time subsystem and is an essential subsystem that must be running at all times. This is the user-mode portion of the Win32 subsystem (with Win32.sys being the kernel-mode portion). Here is a Seven Forums post about it: Is csrss.exe a trojan? - Windows 7 Help Forums Here is a Microsoft community Q ![]() Whereas with strtotime, we need to convert dates to timestamps and compare them. Comparison of two date is direct with DateTime. Working with object is just easier than arbitrary functions.DateTime is able to process more date string formats comparing to strtotime.Most of people have been ignoring it, despite it has been available since PHP 5.2.Ī couple of reasons why you should use DateTime over strtotime and date: PHP provides a dedicated class DateTime for dealing with date and time. If you are still using functions like strtotime and date to work with date and time, you are missing out. It's a common task to work with date and time as a web developer. If you want to have a datetime without seconds, you should use CONVERT(.,datetime). Strings used in datetime context are automatically converted to datetime(6). `dt0` datetime /* mariadb-5.3 */ DEFAULT NULL, Starting from MariaDB 10.5.1 columns with old temporal formats are marked with a /* mariadb-5.3 */ comment in the output of SHOW CREATE TABLE, SHOW COLUMNS, DESCRIBE statements, as well as in the COLUMN_TYPE column of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS Table. The columns using relevant temporal data types are restored using the new temporal format. In the event that you have several tables and columns using temporal data types that you want to switch over to the new format, make sure the system variable is enabled, then perform a dump and restore using mysqldump. When MariaDB executes the ALTER TABLE statement, it converts the data from the older temporal format to the newer one. This change may be needed if you want to export the table's tablespace and import it onto a server that has mysql56_temporal_format=ON set (see MDEV-15225).įor instance, if you have a DATETIME column in your table: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'mysql56_temporal_format' + -+-+ | Variable_name | Value | + -+-+ | mysql56_temporal_format | ON | + -+-+ ALTER TABLE example_table MODIFY ts_col DATETIME MODIFY COLUMN statement that changes the column to the *same* data type. In order to update table columns from the older format to the newer format, execute an ALTER TABLE. Tables that include TIMESTAMP values that were created on an older version of MariaDB or that were created while the mysql56_temporal_format system variable was disabled continue to store data using the older data type format. You can disable this feature using the mysql56_temporal_format system variable. These changes allow these temporal data types to have fractional parts and negative values. In MariaDB 10.1.2 a new temporal format was introduced from MySQL 5.6 that alters how the TIME, DATETIME and TIMESTAMP columns operate at lower levels. In Oracle mode from MariaDB 10.3, DATE with a time portion is a synonym for DATETIME. If the ALLOW_INVALID_DATES SQL_MODE is enabled, if the day part is in the range between 1 and 31, the date does not produce any error, even for months that have less than 31 days. In many cases, the result of en expression involving a zero-date, or a date with zero-parts, is NULL. Similarly, individual components of a date can be set to 0 (for example: ' '), unless NO_ZERO_IN_DATE is specified in the SQL_MODE. MariaDB also supports ' ' as a special zero-date value, unless NO_ZERO_DATE is specified in the SQL_MODE. If no microsecond precision is specified, then 0 is used by default. ![]() MariaDB can also store microseconds with a precision between 0 and 6. MariaDB stores values that use the DATETIME data type in a format that supports values between 00:00:00.

This practice method is useful to increase smooth movement for shiai.When we go backwards, we move the back foot first. Don’t neglect your footwork by focusing too much on your upper body. For fast kote-men oikomi, make your fumikomi faster and your swings smaller. Kote-men oikomi isn’t done with only one foot, so don’t do fumikomi with your body weight only your right foot. You must have a good sense of how your partner moves, otherwise you will end up in a range which is too far or too close. When practicing suriashi in pairs, it is important to maintain kamae during the exercise. It is important to keep the effort of moving your body as low as possible by using small and quick steps. This is a practice method where you go forwards and backwards in suriashi. It is important to make sure you don’t trip, and make small steps for quick suriashi. You will be able to strike and move backwards quickly when you lean backward to the point where you fall over, and turn that into backwards momentum. If you are leaning forward out of fear when performing hiki-waza, you can’t strike fast. Backward suriashiįor backward suriashi, it is key to move quick and swift. Keep yourself motivated by increasing or decreasing the quantity of exercise depending your level. If the distance is short, you can do more increase the quantity of the exerciseĭepending on the number of people, about 15 – 20 minutes is ideal.
