Mavericks is also faster that Mountain Lion in a lot of cases-namely when you don't have enough RAM-because it supports memory compression. It's the oldest OS for which Swift code can be compiled, and the oldest which supports TLS 1.2. Mavericks is the oldest OS supported by Zoom, the current Affinity Suite, and the current ESR Firefox. I'm wondering why others might prefer Mavericks to Mountain Lion?ĮDIT: I thought I was posting this in the Mavericks thread, but I suppose it's just as applicable here.Ī lot of the apps I put in the Mavericks thread should also run on Mountain Lion-but Mavericks does open up quite a bit of app compatibility, particularly if you need to use semi-modern stuff on occasion, which I do. So for me, the bottom line is browser support. It isn't important that I run Zoom on this particular machine any longer. Once Firefox support for Mavericks ends this summer, I'm thinking about switching back to Mountain Lion and running parrotgeek's Firefox Legacy, plus Chromium Legacy (which as of today won't run on Mavericks). My reasons for upgrading to Mavericks were: (a) because I could, and because unsupported installations are cool (b) so I could run Zoom for videoconferencing and (c) so I could run up-to-date versions of Firefox. But as compared to Mountain Lion from which I upgraded (also unsupported on my MBP) I can't say I really see a lot of reasons for keeping Mavericks on it. I used parrotgeek's excellent NexPostFacto to get Mavericks installed on my unsupported 2006 17" C2D MBP, and it has been running fine. I'd be interested in seeing people's reasons for running Mavericks vs Mountain Lion. As of June 2021, Apple has provided a Mountain Lion installer for free: Apple Support Mountain Lion Installer It can be found elsewhere but purchasing is recommended.

The default settings look like this:Īs you can see, it wants to print all the pages in the book as a single booklet. Select the “Booklet Printing” option from the section “Page Handling”. For some reason, Acrobat’s print menu doesn’t have zoom settings for the booklet option. Method 1: Booklet FROM AdoBe Acrobat’s Print Menu This method only works if pages are the size you want or larger. In most cases you’d want 4-8 sheets per signature. This is the minimum to demonstrate the method. I made the sample book 16 pages so that I could make 2 signatures of 2 sheets (4 book pages) each. These are all basic settings and likely come with all software that opens PDFs. I am using an older version of Acrobat and Windows 7 so there may be some variation from your menus’ appearance. The borders are just there to give a sense of proportion to the page and loosely represent a text block. The borders are inset from the actual page edge as you can see below. Note that the page size for each page is 4.25”x5.5”. This is just like 99%+ of all the PDF books you’ve opened. I’m showing it in 2-up continuous mode so you can see the order of the pages. This is a sample book PDF that I made to illustrate the process. I had the inclination to see if I could finagle what I needed out of the software options already included with the PDF reader and printer. It seems that many choose to use custom software, often that costs money, to do this. This requires the pages to be arranged in specific order and printed on both side of a sheet. It needs to be made with multiple signatures sewn together into a text block. The book is a small format but 200+ pages. I’ve also fallen slightly into the bookbinding hobby (read hole) and look for little practice projects. This is the first method in a multi-part series. Sometimes it’s fine to peruse a book on the computer, but if you are using as an active reference a hard copy is the way to go. I wanted to print a public domain book to read and refer to later. ![]() This could allow you to get above 50% battery capacity in half an hour. Quick Charge allows a phone or tablet to charge much more quickly from empty, slowing down when the battery becomes more full. Some modern devices support “Quick Charge,” which is actually a Qualcomm feature - but Qualcomm chipsets are part of many modern Android phones and tablets. RELATED: The Complete Guide to Buying an External Battery Pack Or, if you’ll be driving somewhere in your car, get a universal car charger and charge your phone or tablet while driving. If you frequently find you need to recharge your phone quickly before heading somewhere, just be sure to have an external battery pack around. Some external battery packs are even designed to function as cases you can fit around your phone to charge it without having an additional device in your pocket. But, if you need to race out the door with your phone, you can pick up an external battery pack and use it to charge your phone on the go. No, an external battery pack won’t actually make your phone or tablet charge faster. Use an External Battery Pack (or Car Charger) Some people recommend putting your phone into airplane mode or even shutting it down entirely, which could help a little bit in an emergency - but is very inconvenient if you actually want to stay connected. If you’re waiting for your phone to charge and playing a demanding game on it, that game will cause your phone to consume more power and slow down the charging process. Consuming power while the phone is charging will slow down the process. This one may seem obvious, but it’s true. Cheap USB cables you buy afterwards can’t necessarily transmit the full amount of power, and may charge your phone or tablet much slower. For best results, use the cable that came with the device. Some devices may only be capable of drawing the exact amount their included charger provides, while others can draw more power and charge faster when connected to a charger that can provide more amperage.įeel free to use a more powerful charger - nothing should go wrong, but the phone or tablet may charge faster. Instead, the device just draws as much power as it can from the charger. USB charging is fairly standardized you should be able to plug any device into any USB charger and nothing will explode or catch fire. Not every device will be capable of charging faster when plugged into a USB charger that can output more power. If you want to charge your iPhone 6 faster, plug it into an iPad charger instead of its normal charger. For example, Apple’s iPhone 6 phones ship with a 1A (5W) charger, but they can charge faster when plugged into Apple’s 2.1A (12W) iPad charger. Rather than simply using the charger that came with your device, you can sometimes charge it faster by upgrading to a more powerful charger. Skip your computer’s USB port and plug your phone or tablet into a dedicated charger.Ī high-power USB port on a recent computer may be good enough depending on your device, but it’s better to rely on a dedicated charger if you’re in a hurry. Modern Android phones and other devices will likely be capable of taking more power than a typical computer’s USB ports can provide, too - check your phone or tablet’s specifications to see what it’s capable of drawing. if you’re charging it from an older USB 2.0 port, you’re only getting 0.5A. If you’re charging an iPhone 6 from a typical USB 3.0 port, you’re only getting 0.9A. For example, Apple’s iPhone 6 ships with a charger that offers up to 1A. ![]() We don't do data mining or analyze our users' activities.

The Harpy Eagle is 1 meter in length and has a wingspan of 2 meters long. Males and females are distinguishable by their size female Harpy Eagles are significantly larger than males. The Harpy Eagle’s hind talon is 8-10 cm (3-4 inches) in length, the same size as a grizzly bear claw! Most prey is taken in the canopy of the forest, but at times, these neotropical raptors will descend to the ground and catch terrestrial prey like agouti, peccary and even small deer. Long talons allow Harpy Eagles to catch their prey – medium-sized mammals including sloths, monkeys, tamandua, iguana, coati, agouti and even porcupines make up their diet. Crested Eagles are overall smaller and lighter built, with single crest, and has 2 color morphs (light morph and dark morph) but never show black chest band. Harpy Eagles have very strong bills and very robust tarsi and toes, key features to help distinguish it from the Crested Eagle, another large eagle which shares the same range and habitat as the Harpy Eagle. It takes 3-4 years for a young Harpy Eagle to attain full adult plumage, and reach sexual maturity around 5 years of age. Juveniles and immatures are generally light gray all over, with varying degrees of gray on back and wings depending on age and stage of molt. Adult Harpy Eagles have gray heads with crest, uniform dark charcoal gray upperparts, broad black chest band, white lower breast and belly and fine black barring on legs. These neotropical raptors are built for life inside a forest-broad, relatively short-winged (despite 2 meter wingspan!), with a long, banded tail that acts as a rudder to maneuver through the forest canopy. It has a long, divided crest on its head, often swept back but readily held erect and often blows around freely in the breeze. Found in the lowland rainforests of tropical America, this mighty forest eagle is on every birder’s wish list! It is easily identifiable by its massive size, which separates it from all other raptors in these tropical lowlands. Panama’s national bird-the Harpy Eagle-is the largest, most powerful eagle in the Americas. ![]() Type "/" to invoke the Markup Insight panel so that you can start writing right away.Įffie provides both dark and light themes for you to choose from.Įffie offers five mind map modes so that you can generate ideas in the way you prefer.īuilt with native codes, Effie runs smoothly on all your devices.

(We’ll tell you how to do that.) Here’s how to use it:įirst, assemble the pastry bag. To pipe out letters, borders, flowers, dots and swirls, you’ll need a pastry bag, or a zip-top plastic bag approximation of one. Read on for more details on how to do that. ![]() But don’t do this yet if you are planning on piping any decorations on the sides or bottom of the cake. When you’re done, remove the parchment paper strips and admire your nice, clean plate. If the cake is on a turntable, spin it around as you frost for an even coating. Start with top of the cake, spreading the frosting all the way to the edge of the layer. Now frost the cake with the unthinned frosting using an offset spatula. Chocolate and dark cakes will often need two crumb coats white or yellow cakes are more forgiving. Repeat if you can still see crumbs showing through the icing. With an offset spatula, spread a thin layer of it on the tops and sides of the cake, then chill until set, about 15 minutes. Take about 1/2 cup of frosting and thin it out with a little milk or water so it’s very easy to spread. This is a thin coating of frosting that seals the crumbs to the cake so they don’t show through. Give your layers another brush to remove any more stray crumbs, and then prepare the crumb coat. Repeat if you’ve got more layers and filling. If the layer isn’t centered, use your hands to position it before you apply the frosting. ![]() Then, using a large offset spatula if you have one, carefully pick up your second layer and gently place it on the frosted layer, trimmed side down. Using an offset spatula or a knife, spread the frosting your filling evenly on top of the bottom cake layer. Make sure the bottom cake layer is sitting on parchment strips to keep the cake plate clean and frosting-free. This may take several minutes, so don’t give up. If it’s too cold, let the frosting warm up, then continue beating until it comes together. If the frosting (or your kitchen) seems too warm, stick the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes, then continue beating. Then, beat in whatever flavoring you’d like to use, like vanilla extract, lemon juice or brandy. Beat in 3 sticks softened unsalted butter, one spoonful at a time, until the buttercream is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and beat with an electric mixture until stiff peaks form. Set the bowl over a pot with an inch of simmering water and whisk the mixture over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Here’s a foolproof method: In a metal bowl, combine 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt and 1 cup sugar. Just make sure you bring it to room temperature before frosting your cake. Buttercream frosting can be made up to two weeks ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start if your frosting looks curdled, it’s probably because they were either too warm or too cold. These frostings go well with any kind of butter cake, sponge cake, or fruit-filled cake, but avoid using them on flourless cakes. The unifying feature of all buttercream frostings, whether sweetened with sugar syrup or jam, is the liberal use of butter. Haven’t decided what cake you want to bake? We’ve got lots of ideas for you. But be gentle – you don’t want to create more crumbs. Finally, brush away any loose crumbs using a pastry brush. The strips help keep you keep from frosting the plate as well as the cake. Make sure the strips are tucked partially under the cake to keep them from moving around, and partially sticking out to cover the serving plate. Place the paper strips on the edges of a serving plate and invert one cake layer onto it so cut side is facing down this helps minimize crumbs. (Eat these trimmings as your reward for having baked the cake in the first place.) Then, use a serrated knife to trim off any peaks from the tops of the cakes so they lie flat and even. ![]() Enjoy the tutorial and a list of.These steps below are specific to layer cakes, but you can use the basic information to get the most out of frosting pound cakes and bundt cakes, too (although you might consider glazing those, and we’ll help you with that).Ĭut three or four parchment or wax paper strips to place under the cake.
