Vergleich bookreader5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I use Zite from time to time myself when I’m in need of stories to blog. Testing the best Kindles this way, we come across all the standard paint points that you would if you bought the thing, so can accurately summarize what it's like to own and use an ereader like it.News aggregators like Zite are very useful. We are tech fans, after all, and we'd probably be using Kindles even if it wasn't to review. We'll do this for a long period of time - not just when we're reviewing the Kindle, but afterwards too, so we notice the odd things that only crop up after months of using a device. No, to review Kindles, we simply use them as you would - we'll spend loads of time reading novels, comic books, poetry on them, we'll download books from the Kindle store or other places on the web, we'll go on trips with them or read on our commute. We don't plug it up to fancy computers and let them run numbers, or leave them in labs while we do other things. We don't 'test' Kindles, in the way that you might test a child in school. If you only pick up a book now and then, you could stick with the standard model, but if you enjoy audiobooks, graphic novels and magazines, you might want the Paperwhite or Oasis with more storage space. You also need to consider how much reading you do. It's worth bearing in mind that Amazon discounts its Kindles pretty frequently, which could help you. The first thing to ask yourself is 'what's my budget?' - if you don't want to spend much, the basic entry is the best option, and you should only stretch for the Kindle if you can afford it. Read the full review: Amazon Kindle Oasis It's a significant hike from the Paperwhite and, depending on how much reading you do, you might find it an unnecessary upgrade. However that price certainly might put you off, and we wouldn't blame you. Its metal body is great as the slate can be put in a bag or suitcase without you having to worry that it'll see damage. We found that the Oasis gives the best ereader experience of all the models on here, even though it's one of the oldest - its features also help reduce eye strain and make it easier to use in a range of settings, which is great for busy readers. The Kindle Oasis gives you the biggest screen in one of Amazon's ereaders, in a metal body with a ridge that's easily holdable, there's lots of storage space, and the top-end screen features of the Paperwhite are here along with improved back-lighting. Read the full review: Amazon Kindle PaperwhiteĪmazon's most costly Kindle is a significant price jump over the standard and Paperwhite editions, but you're getting what you pay for, as this is a very premium model. In our review, we called the Paperwhite a "must-have ereader", as it brings solid improvements on the basic model without increasing the price too much, and if you can stretch to the Paperwhite we'd recommend it. So if your tablet, smartphone, headphones or laptop uses USB-C, you can use the same connector. We should also point out that, as Amazon's newest ereader, this uses the standard USB-C charging port instead of the old-school micro USB like the current basic and Oasis models. It has adjustable warm light, a bigger screen-to-body ratio, a 300 pixel-per-inch glare-free screen and more. To look at, this is a similar slate to the standard model, but it has a few improvements to give it more mileage, and they're mainly in the display department. The newest version launched in mid-2021, alongside a Signature Edition which we'll get to in a moment. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is what you should buy if you think the basic Kindle feels a little bit too low-end, but you don't want to stretch for the super-pricey Oasis. ![]()

Don t lose your sparkle quotes5/28/2023 ![]() All I can do as your mom, your best friend, and your guider is be there.Īnd one day when your hand is too big to hold, when you can get the Marmite lids open, and when your toe no longer hurts, just know, I’m here. I wish I could jump them for you, but one of the things you will learn is things don’t always work that way. Some of which, you will learn to jump on your own. Sometimes, even though we don’t want it to, it can throw us hurdles. Please don’t let the world change you.Īs we grow, my baby, we learn. You give hugs so warm, I wish I could hold you forever. We are who you trust, who you come to when you hurt your toe, or if you can’t get the lid off the Marmite. I look at you, my dearest daughter, and I can’t help but wonder where this life will take you. RELATED: Dear Daughter, Be the Girl Who Lives Out Love The energy she brings, the light she provides -I hope she will take this everywhere she goes. I saw her steps turn into bounds, and bounds turn into leaps. Her giggle is something so contagious, it makes everyone in the room burst into laughter. I see her eyes glisten when she talks about something she loves. ![]() Since then, I have watched a little girl grow, right before my eyes. Until I held you in my arms for the very first time. People say time flies, and I didn’t really know how much it did fly until I had you. Nothing is more bittersweet than seeing you grow. “Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath.I wish I could freeze this time, right where we are now. As Romans 5:5 says, this “hope does not disappoint us.” Hebrews 6:19 says of the practice of hope: “We have this hope as an anchor of the soul, firm and secure.” And when we practice it-praying, reflecting, singing-we too, can expect the sparkle to return to our eyes. Praise is simply declaring that God’s track record of faithfulness in the past is the pre-evidence of his immutable character tomorrow.ĭavid practiced hope-and before knew it, the sparkle had returned to his eyes. David began to sing of the mercies and goodness of God. Therefore, since God had been faithful in David’s past, it only made sense to trust him in the present. Next, he went back into the memory banks of his past experience with God and recalled that God had never failed him-not even once ( v. What did David do to pull off that turn around? Well, to begin with, he went to God-he prayed. But in the last two verses, his focused has shifted to the overwhelming mercy and grace of God-and it changed everything. In the first two verses of this six-verse psalm, David was focusing on the overwhelmingly bad things in his life that were dragging him down. That is why we’ve got to choose daily to put our hope in the promises of God. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 13:12 that “hope deferred makes the heart sick.” But when hope is practiced, whether in marriage specifically or life in general, there is tremendous motivation not only for growth and change, but for that winsome radiance to dominate our personality in a way that both elevates our moods and is consistently visible to those we are around. Here’s the thing: Underneath the failure to endure and the quitting, there was the loss of hope. ![]() Once that belief set in, there was a loss of motivation, surrendering of perseverance, and giving up. But I would venture to guess that these folks have also developed the ability to practice hopefulness in the midst of all the negative stuff that might send a less hopeful person into the tank.Īaron Beck, a leading marriage researcher, found the number one belief that kills marriages is that a spouse will never change. Well, it could be that any or all of the above factors contribute to their winsome approach to life. Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.”ĭo you ever wonder why there are some whose eyes just always seem to sparkle? Is it because they have such a naturally sunny disposition? Is it because things are continually going their way? Is it because they are just so much better at life that they outshine the average person? What is it about these people? ![]()

Hotel mogul sims 35/28/2023 ![]() ![]() They otherwise cannot be interacted with. The bellhop tends to the front desk and generally will only leave it to deliver room service. Sims must check in to a hotel or campground in order to save on vacation and to visit other vacation lots.Īll hotels, with the exception of campgrounds, will spawn a bellhop and a housekeeper. Each exotic destination has its own premade hotels, although the player is allowed to make their own or edit the existing ones. It gives controllable Sims a place to rest and rejuvenate before going off to explore. Hotels were reintroduced in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, and a number of them appear by default in all three vacation destinations ( Takemizu Village, Three Lakes, and Twikkii Island). Sims can still go home or to a campground after 11 AM but they will not be refunded for that night's stay at the hotel regardless of whether they slept in one of the hotel rooms or not.ĭaniel and Jennifer Pleasant playing a carnival game.

They will be billed for another day if they do not check out before 11 AM. Sims can check out by clicking on the front desk at any time. In the beach area, the hotel contains a large swimming pool with slides and several carnival games that Sims can win prizes through. In the forested area, Sims can fish, have water balloon fights, and try their hand at archery. In the snowy mountain area, Sims can have snowball fights, go on snow slides, and erect snowmen.

Oracle sql developer query builder5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The good news is, we have a new release every 3 months now, so tweaks, fixes, and improvements are never that far away. If I’m wrong, here’s your chance to tell me. I think we’ve found a good compromise here…especially if my assumption that many folks will use the Query Builder for existing queries. I’d like to have our cake and eat it too, but I also need to make game-time decisions and try to make for the best user experience. The Query Builder functionality allows you to visually build queries of any complexity, easily find and filter database objects, build relationships between. We could try to refactor the 3rd party vendor’s bad SQL, but every time we do that, upgrades get much trickier. Here, let me show you how I mean: I really like this. You can also just drag and drop the queries to the worksheet FIRST, say YES to the JOINS, then toggle to the Query Builder. Here’s the option to disable if you want the magic, auto joins back. It just also means, that now you need to draw or code the joins yourself. So in 18.3, we don’t do that, and the Query Builder renders in a second or less for more queries. The easiest solution was to ‘nuke’ those ‘bad fk lookup queries.’ It was slow to the point of users wouldn’t give it a 2nd try, and I wouldn’t reccommend they even try it in the first place. While that was a nice feature, it just cost too much. It would ‘draw the pretty lines for you’, and it would give you a list of related objects for each table. Well, the folks that build the solution (it’s a 3rd party library that we have licensed) had some pretty gnarly queries used that do look-ups on the table to find foreign keys and ‘related’ tables. So slow, that I didn’t recommend to people that they should use it anymore. Lifetime access to 100+ courses in all technologies in one subscription like Data Science, Blockchain, Iot, Digital marketing, Full stack development & etc. And dragging and dropping new tables into a query could take 10 seconds, each time you did it. It could take 30 or more seconds to visually render an existing query. The query builder is also useful for helping build a ‘picture’ of your queries. I guarantee this tip will save you time if you’re joining 3 or more tables 6. You can then toggle over to the Query Builder to toggle off the columns you don’t want to query. I advocated that users do a combination of both, especially if they were new to SQL in general. SQL Developer will auto-join the related objects. And it would allow you to build queries from scratch, by dragging and dropping them into the query builder design area. The query builder would allow you to reverse engineer a query in a worksheet to a visual representation. So who paid for these performance gains? We disabled one of its primary features.īut first, let’s take a step a back and explain the scenario. One of the improvements for version 18.3 was a much improved, performant query builder. ![]()

Storywriting showing not telling5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() You are presenting an important, dramatic conversation and the dialogue between the two characters advances the plot.It is a moment of great conflict, drama, or crisis.You are bringing the reader into a scene and need to briefly describe the details of the setting so they can picture it.It is a pivotal scene, like the climactic moment in your story.How do you know when to show, not tell and when to show and tell? Here's a brief guide: Sometimes, if you want to write a great story, you have to tell. Sometimes, showing isn't appropriate for your writing. Instead, keep in mind this alternative advice: Show and Tell: When to Show and When to Tell We haven't even gotten to the theater yet.Īnd what that means is that while “show, don't tell” is often good advice, showing isn't always appropriate. That's definitely more specific, but it's also getting longer. “I'll still love you, even if you are an Okie hillbilly.” She took his hand and kissed it and held it to her cheek. “I didn't want you to know I hadn't left Oklahoma.” When they in LaGuardia, James turned to her and said, “Just so you know, that was the first time I've ever flown anywhere.” Tanya drank club sod and James had ginger ale. Tanya and James flew to New York in a 747. ![]() Here's another example with some of those questions filled in with specificity: What was their flight like? Why is James so awed by New York? What's the nature of their relationship? There's still more room for specificity, though, which is why you always have to interrogate your story. The reader gains an emotional attachment to the story in a way the previous example did not. The second example does a better job at sticking in the reader's mind. We know a little more about them, that Tanya is a little more cultured, while James is more wary of it. Instead of “they,” we now see Tanya and James. The word count goes up, which isn't always the direction you want it to take.īut overall, at least in this example, the showing is a little better than the blander, tell-y paragraph. Once you get specific your story can get a lot longer. Finally, they took their seats, and the lights went down. The foyer was covered in gold and white marble, with hundreds of people milling around in gowns and beautiful suits. ![]() When they got to the theater, Tanya noticed his eyes were a little wider, his mouth a little slacker. He had never seen buildings so tall or so many people walking on the street. Their hotel was just a few blocks from the Foxwoods Theater so they walked. It's about cats who sing and dance? Sounds sorta dumb.” ![]() “I can't wait to see the show,” Tanya said. They got their bags, took a taxi to their hotel, and checked into their rooms. Tanya and James flew to New York city in a 747. Here's that example with some of those questions answered: Better yet, you'll use strong verbs to show what a character does, feels, and experiences. To show rather than tell, you have to interrogate your story. It's all pretty vague, though, isn't it? Who are they? What theater did they see Cats at? Why did they enjoy it? A great trip to the city could be ruined by the weather, but they make the most of it. When they tried to go home, their flight was delayed because of the snow so they stayed another night and decided to see the musical again. Let me give you an example of how being specific will help you show. Specificity will fill in the gaps from your telling and bring life to your scenes. The simplest rule to remember if you're trying to show is just to write specific details. How do you “show, don't tell”? The good news is that it's pretty easy to show if you just learn this one trick: Be More Specific (Note: even though you'll see the above quote frequently, it's a bit of a miss-quote. Because of this, it's more likely that the reader forgets that they're reading-a goal fiction writers (and all writers) want to achieve.Īs Anton Chekhov said, “Don’t tell me the moon is shining show me the glint of light on broken glass.” The descriptive language makes the experience visceral for the reader, which allows them to imagine what a character experiences in real time for that character. This is especially a popular piece of advice given to new writers, who often tell too much in their description (and often include unnecessary backstory or adverbs, which slow the story's pace and take the reader out of the moment). “Show, don't tell” is a popular piece of creative writing advice to write with more sensory details, allowing your reader to hear, see, taste, touch, and smell the same things your fictional characters experience. ![]() |
