At a pizza party, Mason and his friends drank 2.6666666666666665 bottles of lemon-lime soda and 2.6666666666666665 bottles of cola. How much soda did they drink in all? Answer:

As he reminded me with a wall post earlier, Jacob and I have been dating for 1.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 months now, intense huh? I told him that I wasn’t counting our positive anniversaries so much as our negative ones. It’s funny how important our anniversaries were about 4-8 mo. Then we got engaged and there were more days to celebrate but the only one that “really” matters (at least monthly) is that day coming up in January 😀 And that one is less than 3 months away, yay!

I love that you put in a third, just to be accurate about it!
Well, it should be 33.3333333333333333333333333 repeating to infinity, but that would be harder to draw. And take, you know, longer.
Lovely work, great number accomplished! You are a wonder!
Thanks, Thom & Leila. That was pretty left-brain of me, wasn’t it?

1333.3333333333333333333 as a decimal - solution and the full explanation with calculations.
What is 1333.3333333333333333333 as a decimal?
To write 1333.3333333333333333333 as a decimal you have to divide numerator by the denominator of the fraction.

Pondering this along with the exact precise nature of God, I can’t help but wonder if in God’s mind and the true (yet hidden) reality there are 4 different kinds of “flesh”?
Here are the original words translated as “flesh” in the New Testament.
Are there four different kinds of “flesh” in God’s eyes?
After pondering this a bit, the words of Paul in 1 Cor 15:39 comes to mind.
Is this truth revealed in the original words themselves?
Let’s check some names. How about the original Greek word for the English name “Paul”?
There are also four different original words for the English name “Paul”. Let’s check some others.
Are you seeing a pattern develop? What about “Jesus”?
Maybe I see this differently than others (being a technical person).
I see God’s word(s) in the original language as 100% precise and 100% accurate. I compare it not to our English language which is very inaccurate, but rather our current decimal system. I see it much like a database. Each database “pointer” points to a unique record. Even if the two records match for 99.999999999% of the fields. If there is the least-bit of difference, it is a new record.
Thus, In my mind, I have to conclude that somehow, with God (and in the true and hidden reality) each of these original words are different from the other one. This doesn’t make sense in our English, but in math we can get an idea. It is just like the number 1.53333333333333331 is not the same as 1.53333333333333330.
I believe God is that precise and much more (to infinity). And I believe this is a very good and trustworthy thing. Otherwise, our natural laws and sciences would fail, wouldn’t they?
In my mind, to say that the 4 different original words for “Paul” are exactly the same in God’s mind (and true perspective) would be the same as saying that 1.53333333333333331 is the same as 1.53333333333333330.
If you were on the space shuttle about to re-enter the atmosphere, wouldn’t you want to know that the engineers know and respect the difference between these two numbers? Or would you be ok with them saying “it’s ok, these two numbers (names) are the same thing…”?
To me, it gives me comfort to know God has to be accurate to the highest degree possible and can not lie or change things. He is the perfect standard.
So, what do you make of this? Does this matter at all?
Could there be (in God’s true) perspective 4 distinct versions of many things in scripture?
Does the body of Christ (and man) maybe have 4 parts?
Could this be why we have 4 gospels each with a different view?
Could this be in some way how God hid the truth from man’s natural perspective?
(Update) Here are some more English translated words each with 4 distinct original Greek words.

Definition of rational number and examples.
A rational number is a number that can be written in the form a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not equal to 0 .
For example, 0.20 can be written as 1/5 since 1/5 = 0.20. Furthermore, 1 and 5 are integers. Therefore, 0.20 is a rational number.
0.20 is the decimal form and 1/5 is the fraction form.
0.33333333333 is also a rational number since it can be written as 1/3 and 1 and 3 are integers.
0.33333333333 is the decimal form and 1/3 is the fraction form.
A rational number in decimal form is either terminating, such as 0.20, or repeating, such as 0.33333333333.
All integers are rational numbers because you can write any integer x as x/1.
Although 0 and -8 are integers, -8/0 is not a rational number since division by 0 has no answer.
3.5/4.1 is not a rational number since 3.5 and 4.1 are not integers.

A byte is an 8-bit signed integer.
A short is a 16-bit signed integer.
An int is a 32-bit signed integer.
A long is a 64-bit signed integer.
Given an input integer, you must determine which primitive data types are capable of properly storing that input.
To get you started, a portion of the solution is provided for you in the editor.
The first line contains an integer, T , denoting the number of test cases.
Each test case, T , is comprised of a single line with an integer, n , which can be arbitrarily large or small.
If there is more than one appropriate data type, print each one on its own line and order them by size (like: byte<short<int<long).
n can't be fitted anywhere.
213333333333333333333333333333333333 can't be fitted anywhere.
-150 can be stored in a short, an int, or a long.
213333333333333333333333333333333333333333 is very large and is outside of the allowable range of values for the primitive data types discussed in this problem.

The featured NBA games on Wednesday night offer two star-studded matchups, with the early one between the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics. These two teams are (somewhat) close in the Eastern Conference standings, although Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors have a clear edge at this moment. On the opposite side, the Celtics are in the midst of attempting to sort out a few issues and get the ship heading in the right direction.
Currently, the Raptors hold the top spot in the East with a 33-12 record while the Celtics are seven games back at 25-18. A win at home over Toronto for Brad Stevens’ squad would be a big step in the right direction. Boston has dropped three consecutive games ahead of Wednesday’s matchup while their opponent is riding a five-game winning streak.
We’re going to take a look at the latest odds and betting line on this game while also offering up a prediction. Let’s kick things off by evaluating how the line has moved throughout the day.
It’s apparent that oddsmakers believe there’ll be a decent number of points in this game while the betting action has gone in favor of the Celtics. With that said, as Odds Shark shows, the public picks have seemingly fallen on the Raptors, who are getting 53 percent of the love. The over is being picked heavily as well, with 62 percent of people projecting a high-scoring game.
The Celtics boast a strong 14-6 record against the spread when playing on their home floor this season while the Raptors are 10-12 ATS on the road. To be even more specific, Boston has reeled off a 4-0 stretch of covering at home over their previous 10 games, but just a 1-5 record against the spread on the road.
I’m buying into the hype of this being a high-scoring game, and although the last meeting went to overtime, it finished in a Celtics 123-116 victory. Kyrie Irving loves nationally-televised games and we know Leonard will put on a show in the spotlight (although, he probably doesn’t care about being on TV).
We can’t look back much at the history between these two teams beyond this year, as the Raptors roster is obviously different after the Leonard trade. But they’ve split the season series thus far with one win apiece. Although the Raptors are getting the bulk of the love, I see this being a good spot for Boston and one most people may ignore.
The Celtics have one of the best coaches in the NBA and while they’ve lost three-straight games, that came over a five-day stretch and were all on the road. Boston had Tuesday off, Irving sat out last game and they should be set to make some noise in this game. I’m taking the Celtics and the over.
The Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics meet Wednesday in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup and we broke down the odds, betting line and a prediction.

Perhaps one of the most common forms of do-it-yourself projects may be the bathroom. In fact, it’s a very nearly a tie between the restroom or your kitchen as the most common updated rooms of a home! And like any do it yourself project, your bathrooms remodel – especially one that is located off the master bedroom – means there are certainly a number of choices to be created from the kinds of flooring and fixtures to features such as the bathroom vanity and lights. Many of us have been around in that situation if you are moving into a new house, or perhaps renovating an existing home, and you need to purchase a brand new bathroom sink. You may not make sure in regards to the forms of bathroom sinks available, or what is important to think about when buying bathroom sinks. In this informative article, we shall consider a few of the factors you ought to take into account, in addition to briefly discussing a few of the other factors you need to consider before buying a sink. There are almost uncountable types of bathroom shower ideas round the world. Mostly people like a little flair within shower style, so for this function we have placed some of the finest type of shower ideas below.
So what kind of elements does one consider each time a bathroom remodel has been planned? In the end, you can find so many choices! But perhaps the first thing to do is to truly have a plan. Make sure you keep things such as for example budget and useable space key determinants in the process so that you can move forward. Needless to say, in the event that you work with a skilled team of remodelers, then you can be sure that they may know to plan the area so that you get probably the most boost for the budget. The Aluminum Glass Shower. The initial type of bathroom shower design, which I’m going to share with you, is a form of Aluminum and glass shower with an enclosure. This enclosure is done using glass panels, which will be attached to a metal frame. This shower enclosure is then surrounded with walls fitted with metal grey tiles, the blend of the metal with the tiles and clear glass gives a slightly new look.
As you begin thinking about upgrades, don’t ignore choosing a bathroom vanity that complements your style. No longer is one relegated to boring Formica countertops for the toilet! Today’s homeowners can decide from many different surfaces such as for example inlaid tiles, natural stone or even custom pieces that add depth and beauty. But all these bathroom vanity tops offer a variety of features or options of customizing. As you make your final decision, remember these basics of bathroom vanity choices. Among the most important factors to consider is space – what are your personal restrictions when buying and fitting a new sink. There’s no point choosing your dream bathroom sink, only to get that it doesn’t fit in, or alternatively that it looks too small within your bathroom. Look at the design of the room – will the bathroom sink go in the corner of the space, or would you like it to be the centrepiece of the room.
The Seaside shower. One bathroom shower idea is that many people would first think before implementing this idea. The idea uses a simpler type of shower attached on to the side of a wall and the shower can be moved since it is linked to a pipe. To improve the effect, dark grey tiles will soon be attached only on to the floor, as the walls is likely to be covered with sea blue colored checkered tiles. To include more effect a sitting area is likewise manufactured in the shower, that will be connected, which will be covered with light grey tiles and the entire shower area is likely to be covered with glass panels. This sort of bathroom shower idea is definitely among its kind because it reflects a serious sophisticated design with a little reflection of the sea. The restroom vanity you choose should: Be crafted to allow for the keeping the sink to be wherever you’ll need it to go. Be either a whole match to the toilet vanity material or either an intentional contrast that also complements the colors and style of the room. Coordinate with your choice of commode and shower/bathtub. Be able to accommodate and work with whatever fixtures you’ve chosen within the remodel. Remember that the faucets are normally either widespread designs that require at the least 3 drilled holes to be produced or center spread faucets may have 1 to 3 holes to be drilled.
You should also think about the design of the restroom, and the style of the sink that you simply want to put in. Many people are fans of a glass sink, which will look extremely classy in the right bathroom, but look out of devote a differently styled bathroom. Do you desire to go for a contemporary look, versus an operating look? You may be less concerned about style, and more about the lowest priced, viable option. All of these factors are essential, and you need to pick the right choice for your bathroom. The Classy Shower. That is another kind of bathroom, that may have a straightforward, but an elegant look. The contrast may have a white and grey colour and have grey colored cabinets, white colored sink and a stool. While the shower will soon be attached on the roof of the bathroom and the shower, area will be give covered with glass panels and with a little mix of black and white tiles. The restroom will overall be covered with white tiles.
With regards to the different types or styles, of bathroom sinks that you can buy, there are always a wide variety of sinks. These include pedestal, countertop, wall mounted, corner, inset, semi-recessed, space saving / en-suite or undercounter basins. Bear in mind that your choice is really a personal decision, based on your tastes and the area in that you need to work with. The Rainfall Shower. If your chosen place for remove your stress is the shower than you will certainly love this kind of idea. The theory consist of a rainfall shower head adjusted on the ceiling and the entire shower area covered with grey tiles that will be an amazing combination for a rainfall kind of look. This will definitely have a very refreshing and a brand new type showering experience for you.
When you make your decision which sink to buy, you should also consider other factors such as for example installation. Whether you will be able to install your own personal sink depends on your personal DIY skills. Some bathroom sink companies will include installation inside their prices, whereas others will not. In this case, if you should be not experienced at DIY, perhaps you are best advised to hire a plumber in the future and fit the sink for you. This would not be an overly expensive investment, however, it’s obviously important that your sink and water pressure is properly fixed. The Luxurious Shower. A newer and modern method utilising the inspiration of palaces is this luxurious bathroom, the idea would be to decorate the shower area with multicolored tiles and the usage of a totally free stand tub having a double shower and the bath tub placed just beside a window an attractive and natural look. The flooring is likely to be of light hardwood floor, which gives a good finish to the overall look of the shower.
When you yourself have made the decision which sink to buy, you need to determine where to buy the sink from. One of many deciding factors will often be what warrantee each company is ready to provide. Always do your research to find a reputable company, and attempt to be sure that the business features a good reputation within a and they have positive reviews. The Beige Shower.

The Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to its motion. Ek, is the energy of a mass, m, in motion, v2.
1) The mass of a baby elephant is 113 kg, and it walks at a constant velocity of 0.5 m/sec. What is the kinetic energy for the baby elephant?
Answer: The mass, m = 113 kg, and the velocity, v = 0.5 m/sec. Use the kinetic energy equation.
 If the kinetic energy of a car is 320,000 Joules (3.2 x 105 J), and it's velocity is 25 m/s, what is the vehicle's mass?
Answer: The kinetic energy for the car in motion is Ek = 320,000 J = 32,000 kg m2/s2. The velocity of the car, v = 25 m/s.

One of the most talked about areas of the internet in 2010 has been about location applications. Websites such as Foursquare, Gowalla, & Booyah allow users to check-in to a location as a way to alert their network to the place they are at right now. Location technologies took on added significance when Facebook recently announced a plan to allow its users to check-in to places such as McDonald’s as a way to earn rewards. The valuation of these companies continue to soar as highlighted by Foursquare’s much maligned decision to turn down a rumored $100 million acquisition offer from Yahoo.
These location technologies are primed for continued growth as more and more of the web migrates toward mobile devices. When users are at a given location, it will be easy and smooth for them to check-in and also see where their friends and colleagues are currently checked-in to. In the past, people would go to sites such as Yelp to comment and rank a location as a way to give feedback to others. These days, people simply vote with the their feet, and the hottest venues right now will see increases in their check-ins.
The local business play with these technologies has tremendous potential. A store can more easily identify, track and communicate with specific users that frequently visit their store. Businesses can also incentivize users to come back again via offering rewards to people who check-in frequently over a given period of time. In addition, businesses can see whom the mayor of their store is – and they can then attempt to further empower the person who visits their establishment the most.
For all of these reasons, location based technologies are here to stay and they will have continued growth and adoption moving forward. However, these technologies are new and they have several holes – a lot of which are beginning to get filled by real time search engines.
To date, real time search engines have been primarily focused on displaying real time data from status updates, comments, and blogs. This way, users could quickly see what people are saying this instant about any given subject. Real time search engines have also worked to analyze the links posted on the real time web to identify which links and topics are trending right now. Real time search continues to grow as more and more users discover the benefits of using real time search and learn which types of searches it can provide the greatest value for.
In the future, through adding location technology and filtering to a real time search engine, the industry will become even more powerful. Our website, Sency, recently launched Sency for Cities, allowing users to search what people are talking about right now inside of 13 major US cities and London.
When you add in location to real time search, the information becomes a lot more defined. For example, a Philadelphia Phillies fan can see what fans are saying right now about the Phillies in the city of Philadelphia. During the recent controversial Arizona law passage, a real time search for Arizona law at different cities would allow you to get a window into how the public sentiment differs from city to city. Businesses, can use real time location search as a way to get free instant market research, broken down by city, on a new product launch. When a new movie comes out, anyone in real time is able to see how people in Los Angeles respond to the movie as compared with people from New York City or London.
This added capability of real time search adds a new level of intrigue. And, as more and more smart phone users enable Geotagging on their status updates and comments – real time search engines will soon be able to show users what’s being said right now at specific places in a given city such as LAX Airport or Wrigley Field. Through seeing what’s being said right now in a given place, real time data can become even more useful and interesting. Furthermore, another mainstay advantage of real time search is that it opens up the data to the public. If you aren’t a user of any social network or location based service – you can still use real time search as a tool to get the information you are looking for.
Twitter has over 55 million status updates published each day and at the recent Chirp conference in April, Twitter confirmed that an increasing proportion of users are Geotagging these updates. As the data pool widens, you can expect to see even more innovation which combines location and real time search into one.
About the Author: Evan Britton is the Founder of Sency, a real-time search engine.

Unusual, improbable, out-of-place, out-of-time, obsolete. Juxtaposing disparate elements to create an entirely new reality is the focus of my art. By synthesizing all the best parts of reality into one image, I seek to create worlds that is more real than real, shocking, bright and beautiful.
My tools are cameras, scissors, paint, gel gloss, and Adobe Photoshop. I am constantly shooting imagery of the world that creates an aesthetic tale in color. Some of the images stand alone as digital photographs and others become my pop-surrealist paintings.

Reason to read this: Offers rigorous yet humble models for how urban systems work. This kind of analytical rigor is incredibly rare in urbanism!
This was one of the best books I read in 2018. My main takeaway: urban planning is still like medieval medicine, with doctors trying to leech out bad humours rather than working off of causal models with predictive power.
I've long been an admirer of Alain's work. I used to be frustrated by how imprecise many urbanists are in their analysis. Then a few years ago, I found a few of Alain's papers. They opened my eyes to the rigor that was possible when talking about cities while maintaining humility that they are complex systems that cannot be fully understood let alone controlled/designed by a few bureaucrats.
Coming from a computer science background, it was satisfying to see the intuitions I'd formed from wandering cities on foot formalized in such an elegant, rigorous way. Instead of using fluffy words like "sustainable" or "livable", you actually had predictive models! His work was so refreshing.
Needless to say, I was thrilled when a friend told me that this book was coming out last year. I purchased it immediately and was not disappointed. I consumed it over the course of a week or so, to the dismay of my partner's family with whom I was ostensibly spending the holidays.
Order Without Design was so rich and full of insight that I'm currently going back and transcribing all of the notes I took in the margins. The book formalized several things I already understood on an intuitive level, and more importantly it challenged several core beliefs I've held for a while about ideal transport modes.
The book explores four cities—Bombay, St Petersburg, Shanghai, and Dubai—that were created with the idea of being a window to the future in an undeveloped, unglobalized country. Each one catapults itself into a different kind of future, but the common theme is a fascinating lense through which to look. This book helped me fall in love with cities (though I have yet to visit any of the four in the book actually!).
Reason to read this: Challenge the standard poles of political economy that you've likely heard for your entire life, a.k.a. capitalism vs socialism or communism. "Georgism" offers a third, entirely different way to see economics, which helped me break out of rigid patterns of thought.
This book transformed the way I think about land use, monopolies, and value creation incentives. Most people who talk about Henry George focus way too much on his Single Tax proposal rather than the underlying models he puts forward. There are many ways to achieve the goals he describes.
I recommend the modernized, abridged version. The original prose is way too flowery, though if you're into sermons you might like it.
Reason to read this: You are coming to San Francisco for the first time and want to get a sense of the city's recent history. This book is full of incredible stories of what happened in those mid decades of the 20th century, so you'll likely enjoy it even if SF is not on your upcoming itinerary.
Season of the Witch is a tapestry of San Francisco through the 60s and 70s. Growing up in the South Bay ~45 minutes away from the city, I had learned about the hippies on Haight Street and the gay-friendly culture of the Castro, but this book opened my eyes to a whole new level of richness in the city's history. I learned gems like the fact that Jim Jones and The People's Temple (of the infamous 1978 Jonestown koolaid massacre) played an instrumental role in George Moscone's mayoral victory in 1975. As a result, Moscone appointed Jones as the chairman of the SF Housing Authority Commission, and Jones gained access to California politicians like Governor Jerry Brown, SF Supervisors Dianne Feinstein and Harvey Milk, and First Lady Rosalynn Carter. In exchange for his cult's political support, these figures supported him and The People's Temple up until the day the news came in of the mass suicide at Jonestown. This shocking episode is just one of the incredible stories I learned about San Francisco's history from SOTW, and it completely reshaped the way I think about the city. From Jonestown and the Zebra Murders to Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead, I can sum up what I learned in a brief sentence: SF during the span of the 60s and 70s was the real Gotham City.
Reason to read this: Understand one man's impressive wielding of power from a position that was not intended to have it. Also learn about how NYC became the city it is today. Next time you're in NYC you won't be able to walk more than a few blocks before catching Moses' name on some plaque or carved into a building.
It is the biography of Robert Moses, who was the NYC Parks Commissioner from the 1920s through the 1960s. Moses is more responsible for reshaping the entire face of New York City than any other individual, and his thinking influenced urban planners nationwide and beyond throughout the 20th century. Over the course of his career, Moses personally conceived and completed projects costing 27 billion dollars, more than any other US government employee ever. These projects ranged from highways and bridges to housing complexes and city parks, many of which required bulldozing entire neighborhoods and in turn displacing hundreds of thousands of NYC residents. Despite the immense impact he's had on the field of urban planning, Moses was never elected to public office.
The book is not only a look into Moses' fascinating life but also a unique perspective on American history and urban planning during that half century. It's also a must-read for anyone interested in how power works, even if they aren't specifically drawn in by the cities angle.
Aside from the intensity of the story itself, the research that went into this masterpiece is just awe-inspring. The author Robert Caro is the best researcher-writer whose work I have ever read. His exhaustive series on LBJ is also fantastic. Although the LBJ books are more well-known and even more ridiculously in-depth than The Power Broker, I enjoyed the story about Moses a bit more because his impact was more concrete and on a more understandable scale. Also, The Power Broker is a story about taking a seemingly insignificant position and wielding it in a way that massively amplifies its power, whereas LBJ's story is more about climbing the ladder until you're at the top. As a side note, the narrator for the Audible recording is fantastic.
This book is about how "cities magnify humanity’s strengths". It's city propaganda at its finest, and I say that lovingly... I clearly fell hard for it! It's hard to not fall in love with cities after reading this.
Triumph is what started me down the path of thinking about agglomeration economies, which has since been a key model for how I think about cities.
Reason to read this: To learn how and why the form of development has changed over the course of US history.
Crabgrass is a history of suburbanization and the history of federal policy since World War II. It filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge about how US development happened, answering many questions about the path dependence that got us to some of the weird, contradictory positions we find ourselves in today as far as urban policy goes.
Reason to read this: To examine a specific characteristic of cities and gain concrete ideas for how to improve them on that dimension.
The core argument is that a walkable city is not just a nice, idealistic notion. Rather, it is a simple, practical-minded solution to a host of complex problems that we face as a society, problems that daily undermine our nation’s economic competitiveness, public welfare, and environmental sustainability.

Taking has never been easy before but with OnePlus 6, you just need to roll 3 fingers together on the screen to take the screenshot. No matter which screen you are on, it will take a screenshot. However, if you tend to take an extended screenshot, just click on icon appears after you screenshot and it takes the screenshot of the whole screen.
Controlling your music now can be done right from the locked screen. Once you activate it, you can easily perform tasks like Play, Pause and Skip to next or previous track. Just draw the gestures with your fingers and it will be done.
c) Double Tap to wake Up Screen.
Double tap the screen to wake it from the sleep. This is surely a common feature which you have witnessed in many devices but lets you wake up your device without pressing the Power button.
You need not press any buttons anymore to mute the ringing calls, just flip the device with backside up and you’re done if you have activated the gesture.
While you in Camera App, you can now easily take pictures by long pressing the fingerprint and it automatically captures the picture. No need to struggle to get your finger to the capture button anymore.
What is better than opening your favorite apps just by drawing a gesture. With your OnePlus 6, you can set five gestures to five of your favorite application you mostly use.
Now the next time you want to launch the assigned application, draw the gesture from the locked black screen and it will open them quickly.
As smartphones are going completely bezel-less and have shifted to software buttons rather than the old physical hardware buttons. Now with the integration of software buttons, we can choose how you would like to navigate on your phone.
It is the regular fixed navigation bar which appears on the bottom of the screen what we generally on all phones these days.
It is similar to the fixed navigation bar but it disappears when not in use and appears when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. While you have chosen this option you can also fix the bar by tapping the small circle appears on the left of the bar and it will stay until you tap back on it.
Choose this option if you completely want to make use of the 19:9 ration gorgeous display. After you select this option, the navigation bar completely disappears and lets you navigate using swipe up gestures. It is almost the same you would have seen on the iPhone X, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen for Home, Back and Recent Apps Actions.
To choose from the three given navigation control options, open Settings >> Buttons >> Navigation Bar & gestures and select from the options according to your preferences.
The portrait mode in current smartphones has always been the center of attraction. Talking about it in OnePlus 6, you now have the option to customize the amazing Bokeh shapes.
It allows you to play with the light objects in the background by making them blurred and transform the objects into the circles, stars, or hearts.
Reading Mode is a very useful feature using which one can even turn your Smartphone into an eBook reader (similar to kindle). Even in it allows too many options, like if you prefer reading mode for all the time, if not then you can select it for some specific applications. You can even witness the sigh of relief with its night mode reading facility.
It overall focuses on delivering good reading experiences without stressing your eyes while you are busy in imaging the book’s content.
Are you the one of those who are crazy about mobile gaming but hates the interrupting notifications while you are busy in shooting enemies or taking laps? Well, OnePlus has an option to save you and enjoy your favorite games on the latest Oneplus 6. You can easily switch to the Gaming Mode manually (via notification panel) or add games to it and it will automatically switch to the gaming whenever you tend to launch a game you have added to the list.
This features adds up to offer ultimate gaming experience by blocking notifications and giving priority to ultimate performance and the network boost. To add games head to Settings >> Advanced >> Gaming Mode.
Slow-mo has been a really attractive feature since years as it offers you to record moments in slow motion. Although, with OnePlus 6, you can record Slow Motion videos in [email protected] or [email protected].
The [email protected] seems lesser than other competitive smartphones, yet it is quite sufficient to deliver a quality piece letting you record a slo-mo for a minute which you don’t get on any other smartphone.
Gone are the days when we use to download 3rd Party Application lockers to protect our privacy. However now with OnePlus 6 offers inbuilt app locker which lets you select the application you wish to lock and can only be accessed by entering active security credentials.
To lock applications go to Settings >> Security & lock screen >> App Locker and select the applications. Now every time you or someone else tries to open that particular application will be asked to enter the security credentials for authorizations.
The OnePlus runs on Oxygen OS, a light skinned version of stock Android to provide you interesting set of features and customizations. Moreover, in Oxygen OS, you can also customize the status bar of your phone.
Battery Style: You can choose the battery style icon you like.
Display Network Speed: Toggle to show/hide the Data Network Speed.
Icon Manager: Under this option, you can choose the icons you want to see or hide from the Status Bar of your phone.
As OnePlus phones are known for speed, likely OnePlus 6 inherits the fastest face unlock around on any smartphone in the market. Inspired by iPhone X’s face unlock feature, it was later launched with OnePlus 5T last year. This “face unlock” merely takes 0.4 seconds to recognize your face and unlock the device even while its dark using the assistive light.
To add your face data on your OnePlus 6, head to Settings >> Security & lock screen >> Face Unlock. However, this feature currently can’t be used to unlock Applications using your Face ID as it is not as secure as seen on Apple iPhone X.
Allowing to use External Storage Devices to save or access data right through your phone is an extremely useful feature and is seen on every smartphone.
On OnePlus 6, you can easily enable/disable the OTG Storage option in the Advanced Menu of Settings. Upon testing, the device of easily able to run external devices upto 500 GB of storage using the OTB cable. Low Internal Storage is no more an issue now.
The pro mode significantly shows all the reasons to be called the pro. You can manually set the focal points and exposure while you take great shots. It allows you to balance each aspect of the image from lights to ambiance each and everything. Moreover, have you ever wondered about the RAW option in most of the flagship devices. It is because when we edit or process an image in JPEG, it loses the quality.
So same goes with OnePlus 6. It has the option to click the shots in RAW format using Pro mode. Raw mode basically captures uncompressed content by the camera’s sensors. At first, these images can appear flat and very casual. But it is important to note that Post processing is compulsory to get the desired results.
Quick Pay is a very convenient feature while making payments via your smartphone. After you enable it, long tap the fingerprint scanner while the phone is locked and you will be redirected to the Quick Pay option. You can use Paytm, or any other mode of payment which you can choose in its settings.
To enable this feature, find the Quick Pay option under Settings >> Security & lock screen.
OnePlus’s Oxygen OS is popular for allowing user-level customization according to an individual’s preferences. To customize, long press on home screen and the bottom of the display, you’ll find the options Wallpapers, Widgets, Home Settings. In the Home Settings, you will find the customization options, you can customize the following actions under the settings.
Icons Pack: Can customize the appearance of app icons.
Double Tap to Lock: While you are on home screen, just double tap to lock your OnePlus 6. Enable it under the Home Settings.
Home Screen Layout: In this, you can select the icon’s screen alignment and its size.
Shelf: You can toggle to show or hide the OnePlus Shelf.
Notification dots: You can choose to see or hide the Notification Dots on individual applications.
While other camera phones are improving, OnePlus in OnePlus 6 has added a new recording format and is now capable to record 4K videos at 60 fps. There are few more improvements in OnePlus 6’s camera by adding OIS to it making your recordings smoother than ever.
You can change the quality settings in Camera which now has two options of [email protected] and [email protected] to choose.
Alert Slider is just something which we have witnessed in iPhones usually. Well not anymore, OnePlus 6 has Alert slider which lets you choose between putting your device in between, Silent mode, Vibrate mode or Ringing mode.
It even gives you option of quick search or anything which you’ve used last. Swiping left on the home screen will take you to the page of Recent calls, applications or actions.
As OnePlus 6 is fueled by the latest update called OxygenOS lets you access the Smart Folder. Smart folder automatically creates the folder and name it accordingly. Suppose you are using a lot of Google supported applications then the folder will automatically name it as Google Folder.
We all are aware of OnePlus 6’s strong chipset, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset which clocks at 2.8 GHz. So goes with the giant offerings. The device supports dual 4g VoLTE calls on both the networks which are plugged in its dual sim slot.
Again bragging about its full customization facility. You can interchange the navigation buttons as well as change the facility you can use due to them. With each button press option, you’ll get two.2 option within which you can choose the option you need fastest.
The Earphone mode contains pretty good options list. It has Auto-Play which automatically resumes the music playback when connecting to the earphone. It even broadcasts the call information via earphones.
Coming to Audio Tuner, it has the Audio switch which will come into effect when you have connected the headphones with it. You can enhance the audio setting by manually changing the Equalizer settings. You can save your presets as well, of your changed settings.
OnePlus 6 is device packed up with the great features which you can just witness in high-end phones. It has the attributes of delivering the best in just the middle Range pricing. Unlike the high-end smartphones of Apple and Samsung.

When I was born three nations had nuclear weapons: The United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union. By the time I graduated from high school, that group of three had grown to only five, with the addition of France and the People’s Republic of China. Since that time only four more nations have been added to that list, India, Pakistan, North Korea and (despite on-going denials) Israel. Currently, through the NATO nuclear weapons sharing program, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Turkey have U.S. nukes in their possession. None of these five countries however has the capability to build their own atomic weapons.
For years, we have worried about North Korea and its psychotic leadership, first in what appears to be a case of intra-genocide by starvation of the entire nation, with the notable exception of those in power, to spare no expense to build their nuke, and second, now they have it, the fact they only need to toss it over the DMZ and a substantial percentage of the South Korean population is annihilated.
To date, they have been contained, probably due to the North Korean autocrats needing to keep enough of the citizenry alive so as to provide the labor for their military and their personal extravagances, so the only bargaining chip they have with the world is to not act on their sabre-rattling rhetoric to procure enough essential supplies of food and oil to maintain their horrendous status quo. It also is relevant that another source of their restraint, to date, is having the Great Chinese Fire Dragon on their northern border that could annihilate the entire country with their nuclear arsenal should the Kim boys misstep.
We Americans are undergoing a cultural transformation. I know in many respects that is hardly news. What I’ve been observing though is a confluence of streams of those changes in ways that suggest they are picking up speed, not unlike several rain-swollen rivers coming together to create a massive flood as it works its way down-stream.
It’s difficult to characterize all the subtleties of this growing torrent, but for purposes of this post I’m going to focus on three of these streams in the context of our national demand for endless entertainment. I’ll leave the non-entertaining analysis to the sociologists.
Let’s start with politics, specifically the debates by the Republican presidential candidates. It seems to me the behavior we have observed not only by the candidates, but the very format and “rules” for these televised events is no longer a forum in any classical sense for a debate, that is, a discussion of genuine public policy positions the candidates hold on the important issues facing the nation. Instead, they have been converted into political theater, orchestrated bash and trash sessions analogous to two teams scrambling for a fumbled football, the referee-pundits at the opposite end of the field, commenting on what they think they observe eighty yards away.

And count my injuries, new and old.
But still my golden story must be told.
Of thrashing, writhing bodies closely twined.
The trophies of loving, blessed gains.

Several days before our ward was scheduled to travel to the Aba Nigeria Temple, the bishop called and asked me to lead our group. I agreed, and on the morning of our trip, we offered a prayer and boarded a bus to begin our journey.
On our way, we sang hymns. Joy beyond measure filled the air. We were making good time on our 10-hour journey, but just before noon, our bus developed a problem none of us could fix.
I ran to a nearby petrol station and found an attendant. I asked if she could direct me to a mechanic.
Without delay, she called two mechanics. They soon arrived and got to work. They discovered that the fan belt was defective. They worked for hours until they had exhausted all their knowledge. Then they called another mechanic.
He worked for a while and then said, “What has happened here is beyond ordinary.” He picked up his tools and left. The other mechanics continued to search for a solution, but our situation seemed hopeless.
Immediately, I called the group together. We stood in a circle and prayed to our Heavenly Father to give the mechanics the knowledge they lacked. In less than five minutes, one of the mechanics came to see me.
“We have done it!” he said, beaming.
I told him God had intervened following our prayer.
“You prayed over it?” he asked.
“Oh, that is wonderful of you!” he said.
I paid the mechanics and they left. We all entered the bus and continued our journey. We finally reached the temple several hours later, grateful that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.

Mention the word dental care, and images of toothbrush and dental floss invariably pop up in our mind. What about the new water flosser? Is it better than traditional flossing? While brushing is undoubtedly the primary mode of cleaning teeth, regular flossing is crucial for clearing up plaque formation in those hard to reach areas between teeth, and below the gum line. But the time and effort required to painstakingly work floss string between individual teeth, is a big turnoff for many. If you’re one among them, despair not, for water flossers that are an effective and easy to use option. With water flossing, you can bid goodbye to the traditional string floss. Instead, you deploy a small hand-held device to direct a steady stream of water, under pressure, against the gaps between your teeth. The high-pressure water jet washes away food particles stuck in between the teeth, as well as the plaque forming in those areas. Water flossing is particularly useful for people with stiff fingers, and those who find it difficult to handle the thin string used for flossing the traditional way. Water flossing can also be a boon if you’re sporting dental braces. You know how difficult it is to clear away the food particles lodged behind the wires in your braces.
With a water flosser, you can simply focus the water stream at any point in your mouth and zap away the food particles and plaque. A number of benefits are attributed to water flossing. Since there is no abrasive contact involved, water flossing is gentle on the teeth and gums. Studies have revealed a significant decrease in the incidence of gingival bleeding. Plaque formation is also found to be slower in people who use a water flosser. Since a pressure jet of water is focused upon the teeth and gums, water flossing is five times more effective in clearing plaque from the dental surfaces.
If you’re preparing to switch to water-flossing, there are some drawback you may want to consider. Traditional string floss can be conveniently carried around as it is packed in small containers whereas water flossers are inconvenient to carry around in your pocket or purse. Since you must have access to power supply, to operate the hand-held flossing device, it may not be such a great idea if you’re the traveling kind or stay in far-flung areas. On the whole, you’ll discover that water flossing is an enjoyable way to derive effective cleaning of your pearly whites. But if you are the type who prefers doing things the solid, dependable way, go for traditional string floss. But floss you must regularly—is your dentist’s advice.

The passenger ferry MV Doña Paz was traveling along the Tablas Strait in the Philippines when it collided with the MT Vector, an oil tanker carrying 8,800 barrels of petroleum products. The cargo ignited, causing a fire that spread onto the Doña Paz. Survivors had to jump ship, and both vessels quickly sank in shark-infested waters. The accident claimed over 4,000 lives, as the Doña Paz was grossly overcrowded. How many passengers was it supposed to hold?
In 1848, Europe was in tumult. After two years of severe crop failures, French revolutionaries overthrew the monarchy, touching off a series of revolutions across the continent. However, the revolts ended in failure and repression, prompting waves of disappointed supporters—some of whom were now deemed enemies of the state—to immigrate to the US, Canada, and England. As these "Forty-Eighters" maintained their liberal ideals upon relocating, many went on to participate in what major US conflict?
A successful lawyer, Menzies gave up his practice to pursue a career in politics and eventually became Australia's longest continuously serving prime minister. He started out in the House of Representatives in 1934 and served as attorney general until 1939, when he became leader of the United Australia party and prime minister. In 1941, his party lost the election, but in 1949 he again became prime minister and this time remained in office until his retirement in 1966, on what national holiday?

The air quality management programs that have been successful illustrate a number of common characteristics. Their air quality management programs tend to follow a five-step program as illustrated in figure 3.2-1. This process can be used for any location and at any scale, from a local issue to a global platform.
4. Develop a science based plan or approach to achieve and maintain air quality goals considering the economic impacts of the control measures.
5. Develop and enforce regulations and initiatives based on their air quality plan.
By fairness, it is meant that throughout the program the involved parties feel that they are being treated in an equitable manner. In the case of air monitoring, all sectors of an urban area need to be checked and results openly reported. In the case of emission sources, emission reduction efforts should be fairly balanced among the various source sectors rather than singling out a few symbolic players. Enforcement results should be reported to all parties. This does not mean that all sources receive exactly the same number of inspections or that all parties have to agree with the location of monitors or the adopted regulations, but at least they should feel that they are not being singled out unreasonably or ignored. To ensure the fairness criteria is met, sometimes a working group of stakeholders is developed consisting of all affected parties. This working group follows the process together.
Transparency means that all players, the environmental community, the regulated community, and the general public, must at least in a general way, understand the process through which the management programs are conceived and the basis for the air quality plan and subsequent regulations that are developed. That process should be open to review and comment by any interested person. As before, this does not mean that all parties must agree with the results. It is likely that they will not. But they must understand the steps that were taken to arrive at decisions.
Finally, it is imperative that the regulatory and enforcement process be applied consistently. One of the greatest problems in failing air pollution programs is enforcement that attacks different emission sectors or even the same sector with different levels of stringency at different times or in different locations. Similar violations should result in similar penalties or at least similar pain to the offending parties. Data on all aspects of the air quality management program should be made accessible to all parties.
It should be noted that this section refers to a single “air quality management plan.” While independent plans can be developed to address different aspects of a local air pollution problem, it is generally preferable to develop a plan that considers the full range of air pollution problems together. There is often a significant interrelationship between the solutions to different air pollution problems and some control measures become clearly more important when multiple air quality problems are addressed. An example is the ozone and particulate air quality problems in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. When only the ozone air pollution problem is considered, it can be reasonably argued that there is little need to control nitrogen oxides due to the atmospheric chemistry involved in forming ozone. However, nitrogen oxides are an important component of the particulate and visibility problem found in the same metropolitan area. Nitrogen oxides must be controlled to address the particulate problem. Thus, the ozone attainment strategy must be adjusted to reflect the control of nitrogen oxides that are need to address particulate matter and visibility. If these two problems are addressed in the same plan then the necessary adjustments are naturally made. However, totally unworkable plans might develop if the two issues are not considered together. Similar relationships exist with respect to addressing odor and toxic matter problems while addressing ozone or particulate problems.
Where it does not make sense or is not possible to mesh air quality plans of multiple pollutants or issues together, then individual plans are acceptable option. Independent air quality management plans are generally better than no air quality management plan at all; and thus, attempts to attain the ideal integrated air quality management plan by delaying important air quality improvement progress should not be allowed to happen. In the case where separate plans must be developed, it may be possible to add checks and balances or some type of overlay to address possible effects on another plan. For example, addition of one step in developing a criteria pollutant plan could be to evaluate each measure on impact of greenhouse gas emissions. If it has a negative effect on the latter emissions category, and alternate method can be found before the plan is adopted.
The purpose of this chapter is to take a general look at the various aspects of the air quality management process, how they relate to each other, and their importance in obtaining an effective overall system. Other chapters will discuss specific details related to the various components of the air quality management process.
