Just because a person has a WhatsApp account, it doesn’t mean that he or she is available for contact all the time. ![]() As long as you pay the internet bills, you can make the calls for free, unless you decide to use cellular data instead. ![]() Just like the text messages, both calls are free because WhatsApp allow you to make the calls via a wi-fi connection. If text messages are not fun enough, make some audio or even video calls to have conversations for as long as you like. However, if you turn off the read receipts function, you won’t be able to see those marks again until you re-enable the function. When the recipient reads your message, WhatsApp lets you know indirectly by marking the message with two blue check marks. If you are in need of sending a really huge file, you need to host it in a cloud storage and share the link to the recipient via WhatsApp. WhatsApp can send them for you as attachments as long as their file sizes do not exceed the limit. Sometimes, when you communicate with others, you need to send some files for them to read, to review, or to do whatever else to those files. They just have too much distrust toward Facebook that owns it. Still, for some people, the encryption is not enough to tempt them to use WhatsApp. It is a good thing and every messaging service should encrypt messages too. What it means in simple term is that no one else can see your messages. Telegram is a great alternative, but too many people aren’t concerned with privacy and they are already used to WhatsApp, so most of them stick to it. ![]() There are rivals, but none is able to rise up to the top so far. The new ownership lasts until present and most likely until forever. Developed by Jan Koum and Brian Acton, the messaging service was finally bought by Facebook on 2014. Its first release was around 14 years ago. Their fear is a reasonable one since Facebook has been involved with privacy issues such as Cambridge Analytica scandal. Its relationship with Facebook, however, have put off a number of users who concern a lot about privacy. WhatsApp is well-known as one of the most phenomenal messaging services ever built in history to date.

![]() On the other hand, more heat needs to be applied to the larger BGA packages for solid solder joints and to keep from creating open solder joints.Īfter creating the thermal profile, the first-article board is run through reflow to determine whether the profile is good. It’s critical not to overheat smaller packages to avoid solder bridging. Finding a temperature setting that’s acceptable to both larger and smaller packages, while juggling tradeoffs and special considerations, is a balancing act. Plus, there is continually smaller packaging like 01005s for passive devices.Ĭreating a profile for a board like this poses perplexing issues, since larger packages require more heat compared to smaller ones, and there are special considerations when it comes to package-on-package (PoP). Increasingly, boards are populated with ♛GAs, ♜SPs and µQFNs, as well as the larger BGAs, CSPs, and QFNs. Usually, a conventional board consists of a mix of passive and active components in traditional packaging. PCBs are populated with a growing assortment of new packaging and technologies, introducing new challenges and their associated tradeoffs when it comes to creating the thermal profile. Getting the right temperature is a balancing act, at times requiring fine juggling.Ĭreating a thermal profile isn’t as straightforward as it once was. ![]() ![]() I've been so cross with you and I had no reason to be. "You don't have to say anything." He said. "Michael I…"She began but she couldn't find the words to truly express the way she felt. "I was hoping to catch you." Michael said nothing. Amie took a deep breath and walked forward. He glanced back to see who had followed him and when he saw it was Amie, he turned his head back to the back garden. She shut the door behind her and breathed in the cold crisp air as Michael lit a cigarette. She looked around and saw him walking outside on the back patio and she followed. Amie began to follow when she realized Michael was not amongst the group. When they were finished, the family went back into the sitting room. They commended her for her cooking and even John and Arthur had second helpings. "It's ready." She said nervously The family went in the dining room and began to eat. He was still bruised and swollen but he was conscious. She moved it all to the dining room table and went into the sitting room where the family was. By the time the evening came, Amie had been cooking for hours. Now, she had a whole new audience to try and impress. She enjoyed cooking for her uncle, and he would occasionally have Ishmael, his wife Sarah, Goliath, and Ollie over for dinner. ![]() Tommy then let his family know they were to be at his house for dinner that night. What time?" returned an amused grin "Six o'clock." She said, a smile captivating her face. Shelby" She said with a coy grin "Alright. "for the whole family?" "Yes." "That's a lot of mouths to cook for" "You underestimate me, Mr. Tonight." Tommy looked at her, he could see the sincerity on her face. "Anyway, I would like to cook you all dinner. I'm usually very controlled but, there's been so much excitement going on this week I just…." She paused. I want to make it up to you, my behavior this past week. "You're up early." He responded "I've been thinking…. "Good morning." She offered with a smile. ![]() Tommy came downstairs the next morning to find Amie already in the dining room eating. "We should get you to bed, eh?" Tommy said _ Amie laid in bed that night thinking of the ways she could make up her rude behavior to the family, and finally decided she would make them dinner the next day. She felt somewhat relieved of her guilt, but she stayed looking at Michael. You're tough, like him or that man wouldn't have been dead when I got there." She looked at Tommy and knew that he had accepted her apology. And I have always known what he's done, but I have never been a part of it until now." "Yeah, well. "I know it's been scary for you." "My uncle is a dangerous man. Shelby." She offered and looked at him Tommy nodded and gave a small smile. "I've been ungrateful." Amie said, keeping her eyes on Michael Tommy stayed silent "I apologize, Mr. Lost in thought, she didn't notice anyone had walked up behind her until Tommy cleared his throat. He had not only saved her from death but had saved her from being forced into a situation that would have changed the way she looked at herself forever. But he still ended up in the hospital out of an attempt to save her. They had been fighting since she had arrived in Birmingham, he hated her. Amie stared at him, the lump returning to her throat. His face was clean but, covered in bruises. Meanwhile, Amie sat in the chair and looked at Michael. Tommy nodded for her to follow him and they went to the other end of the room and talked in low whispers. As they waked into Michael's room, Polly stood up. "Would you like to go to the hospital?" Tommy asked curiously Amie nodded again. No significant damage that they can tell." Amie nodded. "Any word on Michael?" She asked "They are keeping him over night. A sinking feeling formed in the pit of her stomach. If it hadn't been for Michael, he would have succeeded. Amie should be used to this as her uncle often needed things 'taken care of', but this was different. They hung up and Tommy instructed her to go get herself cleaned up, when she came back down Tommy was looking at the bodies with a man named Johnny Dogs who would be 'taking care' of them. ![]() Self-report assessment of depression and anxiety.

A lot of work and research already went in to creating this effective relaxation tool, but once you play it, you'll want more. If there's any room for improvement in Bejeweled 3, it would be with Zen mode. There's also Diamond Mine (a reference to Bejeweled's original name, no doubt), which turns your gem matching into a digging tool. Each hand scores points, and as the game progresses, easier hands become locked, forcing you to get smarter and smarter with your moves. ![]() I had the most fun with Poker, a mode that turns your matches into cards that must be combined to form valid poker hands. You don't have to play for very long to gain access to them, and once you do, you'll probably stick with them for a very long time. Particularly interesting in Bejeweled 3 are the fun unlockable modes. Even though the core mechanic of gem swapping is the game, it somehow manages to be different all over again. PopCap has really outdone itself with this installment, and as you can clearly see from the wall of text above, it's more than just moving things around a grid. It's no wonder the series is the flagship for the match-3 genre. PopCap designed Zen mode with actual studies in mind, and reducing anxiety is something so very few games can lay claim to.Īnalysis: Bejeweled 3 is a whole lot of Bejeweled. Finally, breath modulation uses audio and visual cues to regulate breathing patterns, a great first step in soothing your nerves. Then, incorporate positive mantras or binaural beats to create new patterns in your brain that put you in a different state of mind. For starters, you can change the background music to ambient sounds like rain falling through leaves or waves on the beach. Bejeweled 3 goes about ten steps further and adds a host of customizable tools that help you relax. Most games feature a Zen mode that strips timers and other stressful features from gameplay. Here's what you might not expect to get from Bejeweled 3: a serious relaxation tool. The list goes on, and there's no shortage of challenge to be found in Quest mode! Time Bomb, for example, asks you to match ten bomb gems before the timer hits zero, and Alchemy challenges you to turn the whole grid into gold by making matches that spread to each column and row. Then there's Quest mode, a hefty experience that's packed with mini-game-style levels built around a single goal. Lightning mode is a race against the clock where you have to match time gems to keep the hourglass from emptying. You'll probably start with Classic, which is exactly what the name implies and lets you work your way into higher, more challenging levels by matching gems to fill up a meter. Hitting certain milestones in each of these unlocks four additional modes. Four modes are available from the start: Classic, Zen, Lightning, and Quest. Where the game really captures your attention, though, are the extra modes that incorporate goals, challenges, and twists on the Bejeweled formula. These bonuses are constant throughout most of the game, rewarding you for being wily with your swapping skills with big, pretty special effects and a nice clear game grid. Matching four or five gems creates Flame Gems and Hypercubes, which help clear large chunks of the screen at once, and if you create two intersecting matches, you get a Star Gem. The core experience of Bejeweled 3 remains unchanged from previous releases, maintaining that smooth look and familiar layout we could all sketch out in our sleep. PopCap invests a lot of effort into the scarce Bejeweled sequels, and as soon as you see what Bejeweled 3 has to offer, you'll appreciate the extra attention that was put in to getting you hooked on gem swapping all over again. From the original browser game released in 2001 to the 2008 re-envisioning in Bejeweled Twist, practically every person who's ever touched a computer knows about the series. Bejeweled has been around for almost a decade, and its popularity is showing no signs of waning. ![]() It has been an overarching theme I have tried to create in my life. Again, this may not be everyone but it was certainly true for me.Ĩ.) Decreasing the stress in my life overall. We should probably not feel the rush of building a city from scratch or conquering an empire on a daily/weekly basis. This is likely due to the dopamine/endorphin rush experienced during these games, which is quite frankly unnatural. This is totally anecdotal but I found that after an exciting game session, everything else seemed so bland for a few days. As an adult, I have very limited time but still would find some time to play a game for 2-4 hours. Growing up I would binge on video games for 8 hours straight. ![]() I am unsure if it is related to vigorousness itself or the stimulation, but it helps me "shut down and focus" while I am doing these endeavors.ħ.) Avoiding video games. The amount of mental stimulation you get with these games is far greater. ![]() ![]() For me, there is a major difference between an hour on the treadmill and an hour spent playing basketball, tennis, or football. Not surprising since exercise has been shown to improve executive function in kids.Ħ.) Sports / games: I place this separately from exercise even though there is an overlap. It really helps bring me down a notch and increases my focus. That being said, if I miss it for a few days I can definitely tell. I wish that I could put exercise higher on the list. For me, this has helped tremendously.ĥ.) Exercise. For folks like us, we really have to avoid over-stimulating and overloading our brains. "Today I will mount that TV that's been sitting there 6 months and vacuum the room." Sometimes I would only do that small task, but more often than not I would end up being satisfied with my work and move on to another task. "There's no way I can clean this!" It's too overwhelming and so I would default to doing non-productive things instead. When I first started, I would look at my home and shut down. Which brings me to my next point.Ĥ.) Make small, achievable goals with timeframes. Now I live by the motto "a place for everything, and for everything and everything in it's place". It wasn't easy but I dedicated myself to organizing my life. I realized that this was really aggravating my symptoms. I would get so stressed out when I had to find an important document or even look for items. Before I set out on this journey my life was a mess. You may need to find your sweet spot.ģ.) Organization. For years I thought caffeine is more=better, but you may be like me. About 1/2 to 1 cup of strong coffee and I am focused, energetic, and ready to do the day! Much more and I become a ball of energy and anxiety that is crippled by my need to obsess over everything I haven't done. I'm not saying this will hold true for everyone, but there is a definitely a sweet spot for me when it comes to caffeine. I have found the sweet spot to be 10-15 minutes once or twice a day depending on my time availability.Ģ.) Decreasing caffeine intake. Essentially you get comfortable, +- relaxing music and focus only on your breath. I am not an expert on meditation, I simply chose to do mindful meditation, while focusing on my breath. This has been without a doubt the single most helpful intervention. I'll try to list them in the order of helpfulness.ġ.) Meditation. I am writing this post in the hopes that it may help other overcome the symptoms of ADHD, either as a conjunction to medication or without medication. As life got busier, my symptoms became worse and I was forced to confront it (28M). Nonetheless, I realized that my ADHD was having a major effects on my life. If not for certain other reasons, I would have taken them. They help people tremendously and are a huge advance in modern medicine. Let me say up front that I am not against medications. I have ADHD and for various reasons chose not to medicate myself. ![]() I have called still again on 6-15-20 and 6-23-20. We still have South Bend channels and still no shipping label. I called again on 6-9-20 about these same 2 issues. I called Direct TV about this on 5-28-20 and also requested they send me a shipping label so I could send the old receiver is too far for me to drive to a UPS store or Fed EX store to return. Wayne as we had for the past 2 1/2 years. When the new receiver was connected, we found we were now getting our LOCAL CHANNELS out of SOUTH BEND INDIANA- not FT. However, I was CHARGED for more than $100 for the new receiver. I agreed to buy a new one (not rent) and was told my cost would be $19.95 plus shipping. I called on 5-13-20 and was told I needed a new receiver. The error code listed 14-419-internal storage problem. In May of 2020, our PROBLEM started with the TV screen saying trying to update.

And I feel they should be a little more understanding in a time like this. I just don't understand how a company runs with no managers available to speak with if you need. So we'll see if a manager actually calls me back today, before my service is disconnected. We have been staying in and not really doing anything this summer,- trying to do what we can to get through this. I know that I do not NEED satellite TV but it's just something to help keep my kids entertained while we have been home everyday for months now. And the fact that this is TV - I can barely pay my utilities right now and put food on the table for my kids. I feel like they should be a little more understanding since we are in the middle of the worst health crisis we've ever been through and a lot of people still are not back to work. I understand that I'm just another person who can't pay their bill on time, but I have been a customer for a couple years now. He said he couldn't just transfer me- he'd have to put in a request for a manager to call me back. I said again that I'd just like to speak with a manager myself. He said that a manager wouldn't be able to do anything either. Plus the fact that I can barely afford the bill normally and then I would have the reconnect fee. I said that I did understand that they had already extended my shut off date but I just needed 3 days longer and I'm at home all day with my two kids and I would appreciate if he could check with a supervisor/manager to see about giving me just a few more days. The customer service rep said that they had given me the max extension date and he could not change it in their system. I have not worked in months due to the pandemic.like many other people right now. I needed to get an extension on my past due bill.

Plus, policies take 30 days to kick in, which means any flood damage that occurs during the waiting period is not covered. You can either buy a policy from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or get one through a private insurance company like Kin.Ĭoverage from the NFIP is limited to $250,000 for your home and $100,000 for your belongings. Homeowners in Flood Zone X who want flood insurance have two choices. That's $252 less than the NFIP's average premium of $427 in Zone X. How much does flood insurance cost in Flood Zone X?īecause Flood Zone X is relatively low risk, our rates start as low as $175 a year. That alone may make flood insurance a smart investment. According to FEMA, one inch of water can lead to nearly $27,000 worth of property damage. The extra premium may be worth it during exceptionally rainy years.Īreas that typically don’t see frequent flooding can, over time, develop drainage issues that lead to pooling near homes. This zone’s minimal flood risk is low, so coverage is considerably less expensive than other zones. That said, you may still want to investigate your risk and consider getting a quote. Are homes in Flood Zone X required to have flood insurance?įlood Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area like Flood Zone A or AE, so homeowners with a federally backed mortgage aren’t required to get flood insurance. If you’d like to double-check your flood zone and BFE, you can search your address via FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center. ![]() What is Zone X’s base flood elevation (BFE)?įEMA has not set a BFE for either the shaded or the unshaded Flood Zone X because the area is considered outside of the flood risk region. When Zone X is unshaded, the risk for flood is less than 0.2 % and may be protected from 100-year flood by a levee. FEMA actually has two distinct flood zones with this designation: one shaded and one unshaded What's the difference between shaded and unshaded Flood Zone X?įlood Zone X (shaded) indicates an area where the annual flood risk is between 1% and 0.2%. Flood Zone X is a designation on a flood map that indicates an area with moderate-to-low risk for floods. ![]() ![]() The translated content is provided directly and dynamically by Google DoIT has no direct control over the translated content as it appears using this tool.
