Then, if you want to talk with someone about the safety or feeding alternatives for your forage you can be sure both of you are talking the same language. Next time you test your hay or corn stalks or cover crop for nitrates, look closely at the report to see what method your lab used to report your nitrate results. In fact, it is easy to mathematically convert between nitrate and nitrate nitrogen by using the following formulas: Is one method better than the other? No – both give the same result and either one can be used to determine the safety of your feed. As a result, the danger level for nitrate nitrogen begins somewhere between 2,000 and 2,300. Thus, a much smaller amount of nitrate nitrogen is needed to produce the same effect as the entire nitrate ion. ![]() Nitrate is one part nitrogen plus three parts oxygen so nitrogen only makes up about 22.6 percent on the nitrate ion. ![]() Some labs, though, report the amount of nitrogen that is in the nitrate ion and call it nitrate nitrogen and report it chemically as NO 3-N. Most labs and advisors consider a level of 9,000 to 10,000 parts per million of the nitrate ion to be the level where toxicity concerns begin. When a laboratory reports directly the concentration of nitrate, it is referring specifically to the nitrate ion, which is designated chemically as NO 3. So what is the reason for these big differences? Basically, it comes down to how each individual laboratory tests for and then reports results for nitrates. So the same score or value can range from quite dangerous to perfectly safe depending on how it is reported. However, if the score was 3,000 parts per million of nitrate there should be no worries since this is less than one-third the danger level for nitrates. ![]() It would be risky for cattle to eat this forage without taking some precautions. Why is it important to know the difference between nitrate nitrogen and nitrates? Well, using the example above, if the score was 3,000 parts per million of nitrate nitrogen, then the forage may have a nitrate concentration that is almost 50 percent higher than what we often consider to be the potentially toxic level for nitrate nitrogen. So – the first question I ask is “Was this reported as nitrates or as nitrate nitrogen?” Unfortunately, with just this information I’m unable to give a useful answer. Am I in trouble?Įvery year I get multiple questions similar to this one. I just got the forage test results back from the lab and the nitrate score was 3,000.

![]() Low-intensity coffee is ideal for drinking black or in the form of an Americano. Nespresso pods with a 1-5 strength level are the best if you want a coffee with more taste and a vibrant profile. The Nespresso intensity level ranges between 1 to 13, with 1 being the least severe and 13 being the most intense. The degree of roasting, the body, and the bitterness of a coffee is called Nespresso intensity, and it is determined by the coffee’s concentration. ![]() This is how Nespresso determines how strongly flavored a pod is. You can check out this number for every capsule on the Nespresso website. The intensity is the only information provided by Nespresso, and the number ranges from 1 to 13. The number represents the level of intensity offered by a pod. If you’re a die-hard Nespresso fan, you’ve surely noticed that each capsule has its own serial number. What do the numbers on Nespresso pods mean?

If the clock is drawn correctly, that’s a pass if there are mistakes, the person drawing has failed. There can be elaborate scoring methods, assigning points based on the positioning of numbers and hands, but simple pass/fail scoring has been shown as effective. For more on the difference between pre-drawing the circle and not, see below.) If the clock is drawn abnormally, for example, if the numbers are in the wrong places, this indicates the possibility of dementia and a need for further evaluation by a qualified doctor. (Both methods have been shown as effective. ![]() Other times, the tester will not provide the circle, nor say the words “number” or “hands,” to avoid giving hints. Someone who may have dementia is asked to draw a clock showing the time as “10 minutes past 11.” Sometimes the subject is provided a pre-drawn circle and asked to fill in the numbers and hands. It simply means you need to make a doctor’s appointment so your loved one can be evaluated by an expert and receive a medical diagnosis. If the clock is drawn incorrectly, that is not cause for despair. It’s important to remember that no true diagnosis can be made without further tests from a doctor. Although the test may not seem scientific, it is backed by science and has contributed to earlier diagnoses and improved quality of life for persons with dementia. The Alzheimer’s Clock-Drawing Test also provides a powerful visual for families to see that something is wrong with their loved ones. ![]() While a true diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia requires more than a few minutes of drawing with a pencil and paper, the Alzheimer’s Clock-Drawing Test is useful for identifying issues in thinking ability that might indicate the presence of these illnesses.

A digital task manager like Todoist is a great place for these, but pen and paper will do too. Any ideas, tasks, or requests that come up should be taken note of to come back to later. The pomodoro is an indivisible unit of time and can not be broken, especially not to check incoming emails, team chats, or text messages. For example, "write rent check," "set vet appointment," and "read Pomodoro article" could go together in one session. Any tasks that will take less than one Pomodoro should be combined with other simple tasks. Sticking to this rule will help ensure you make clear progress on your projects. If a task requires more than four pomodoros, it needs to be divided into smaller, actionable steps. The 25-minute work sprints are the core of the method, but a Pomodoro practice also includes three rules for getting the most out of each interval:īreak down complex projects. When your session ends, mark off one pomodoro and record what you completed.Īfter four pomodoros, take a longer, more restorative 15-30 minute break. Set your timer for 25 minutes, and focus on a single task until the timer rings. Though Cirillo went on to write a 130-page book about the method, its biggest strength is its simplicity: Encouraged by the challenge, he found a tomato (pomodoro in Italian) shaped kitchen timer, and the Pomodoro technique was born. Feeling overwhelmed, he asked himself to commit to just 10 minutes of focused study time. Cirillo was struggling to focus on his studies and complete assignments.

![]() We've lost touch with many people since then (it has been 22 years, after all), so we're all trying to get the word out anywhere we think there might be some old Escape Velocity players lurking. It's pretty exciting, but I think most of that so far is just people who played the original game and still are in contact with one another in the community. The new engine, they're calling Kestrel, will even be open-sourced after they release Cosmic Frontier: Override.Īnyway, at the time of this writing, they're at over 32% of funding after just one day. That said, he's also developing other tools so one won't need to deal with clunky old plug-in making tools like ResEdit anymore, and the new engine will also allow for things like Lua scripting. Tom Hancocks had already re-implemented a modern Resource Forks system before Peter Cartwright had even gotten in touch with him, as part of his Nova clone project. What's really exciting is they're working on backwards comparability with the original EV engines for things like plug-ins, with probably just a conversion tool at worst to get them working in the new engine. It'll run on modern Macs, Windows, and even Linux computers. The game is getting renamed to Cosmic Frontier: Override for the re-release, but it's the same game made by the same guy, just remastered. All those legal issues got resolved, and Peter Cartwright and his new partner Tom Hancocks who is making the new engine launched their kickstarter yesterday. Well, he quickly got connected with a guy working on basically a clone of the EV engine, and tracked down any other parties with a legal interest in EVO. It is possible to run the game in SheepShaver if you can find a copy, but for EVO to come back, it really needs a new modern engine built from the ground up. The problem is, the old game has proprietary Ambrosia code in it for shareware registration, and the whole thing was made to run on Mac OS 7-9 era computers. One of those creators, Peter Cartwright (he designed the scenario) decided he wanted to re-release the game himself. Well, after Ambrosia officially closed shop recently, the publishing rights for Escape Velocity Override reverted back to its creators. The EV community has quite a number of professional artists, writers, and programmers who credit EV, EVO, or EVN with getting them started. ![]() A lot of us kids playing the game ended up launching their careers based on some of these plug-ins. The best and biggest ones, "total conversions" became legendary. The community built up around making and sharing these plug-ins. You could change the whole galaxy, tell completely new stories in a universe of your own creation, and even change a lot of the interface elements. You weren't limited to small changes, either. Want to add a new ship or mission or weapon or whatever? You could do that quite easily, using a quirk of old Mac OS called Resource Forks and a program called ResEdit. The game engine in the EV series, gaining some (or a lot of) new features with each iteration, was extremely moddable. What really made EVO special, and why it grew such a dedicated community around it, was the plug-ins. I played a lot of great games in the 90s, though. If you weren't into story, you could just hone your combat skills, get bigger and better ships, and eventually conquer the whole galaxy yourself, collecting tribute from each dominated world. It was a sandbox set in space with some surprisingly good story if you cared to play through it. It was a great game, where you got to fly around a pretty large and detailed galaxy as a space privateer, taking missions from various companies and governments, or simply going around shooting ships and stealing their cargo. I still think about why it was that a game like EVO would have such a big impact on my life. The community around Ambrosia, and their games like EVO, was and still is awesome. I met more traveling to PAX, and many other meet-ups since. I met a bunch of them at Macworld in 2005. This game was basically where I found my first online community, people I still, to this day, talk to on an ancient IRC channel, and a small handful of Discord servers. ![]() It was the second of three games in a series, the most recent being EV Nova, which ended up getting ported to Windows after an initial Mac release. One of Ambrosia's most legendary games, that truly defined Mac gaming in the late 90s, early 2000s, was a game called Escape Velocity Override. Unfortunately, they weren't able to adapt when Macs and iOS became popular, and Apple's own stores made a shareware publisher like Ambrosia obsolete. Pretty sad, as Ambrosia used to be one of the major players in Mac gaming, especially in some of the darkest times in the Apple ecosystem. So, anyone remember the old Mac shareware company Ambrosia Software? Well, a while back their website went down for good after a long period of basically not being in business at all anymore.

What are critics saying about the Steam Deck?īelow are reviews of the Steam Deck from a variety of professional sources. In addition, a separately priced docking station (with peripheral and external monitor ports) will not be available at launch but is expected to debut sometime this spring. Anyone attempting to reserve a Steam Deck for the first time today likely won't receive the device until sometime after June 30th. Today is actually the day that Steam notifies the first batch of reservation holders (to request shipping and payment information), and those devices won't be shipped out until Monday (February 28) at the earliest. Note that while today (February 25) is the official release date, only reviewers have their hands on the devices so far. The high-end $649 model-currently the most popular version-comes with even more (512GB) and faster memory as well as an anti-glare screen.The mid-tier $529 model comes with more (256GB) and faster memory, as well as a carrying case.The basic $399 model comes with 64GB of memory.The Steam Deck is available at three price points: (Note that Valve is continuing to test and verify games on the new device, and many products have not yet been verified.) In addition, non-Steam PC games-including those from the competing Epic Games Store-will also be playable on the Deck if they are compatible with the specs, though you may need to install a special launcher (or Microsoft Windows) on your Deck. * Which games does it play? To check the compatibility of your current library, sign into your Steam account and access the Steam Deck compatibility page. (The specs mean that you'll likely be running most games at 720p and 30fps, which is similar to the original Switch but inferior to the newer OLED model.) Valve claims that the Deck's battery should provide at least seven hours of gaming on a single charge, though reviewers report much shorter battery life in real-world testing of certain graphically demanding titles. Valve's first handheld gaming device (which is actually a full handheld computer that runs on a customized version of Linux called SteamOS) allows owners to play most* PC games available in their Steam libraries on the go.ĭespite the device's hefty dimensions (it's nearly a foot long, making it far bigger than the Switch and previous handheld gaming devices), there's no physical keyboard, but the Deck does have two built-in thumbsticks, a pair of touchpads, and a handful of buttons alongside a seven-inch display which runs at a resolution of 1200x800 pixels and 60Hz. Think of it as a pricey Nintendo Switch that plays PC games. |
