![]() ![]() I personally can’t wait to get my hands on Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, which brings the criminally underrated Wii U game to Nintendo’s new hardware while adding in a whole new set of levels to play through. The Switch plays many of the biggest multiplayer games out there, including Fortnite, Among Us and, soon, Apex Legends, and you can play many of them with your friends on PlayStation and Xbox.īetter yet, the Nintendo Switch library is still growing at a steady clip this year. And it’s just one of many great indie and third-party titles you can find on Switch, from cult favorites like Celeste and Untitled Goose Game to portable versions of iconic titles such as The Witcher 3 and Minecraft. The main reason why I can’t put my Switch down right now is Hades - an addicting and charming dungeon crawler that’s currently a console exclusive on Nintendo’s platform. From Pokémon Sword and Shield to Luigi’s Mansion 3 to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the list of great first-party Switch exclusives is long, and has a little something for everyone.īut it’s not just Nintendo’s own output that makes the Switch so special. Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are stellar multiplayer games that have stayed in my rotation for years. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been the joyful escape that many of us (myself included) have needed from the real world, while Super Smash Bros. Titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are absolute essentials that anyone who enjoys video games owes to themselves to play. While the selection of games on the PS5 and Xbox Series X still needs some fleshing out, the Nintendo Switch’s library is already one of the best of all time. The game library is phenomenal (and still growing) But even while I’m locked down at home, I continue to appreciate the fact that Nintendo’s console works equally well as a big-screen gaming machine as it does as a personal, portable device that can follow me from the couch to the bed. Whenever I can finally get on a plane again, the Switch is the only console that’s coming with me, thanks to its ability to be played on the go. You can technically have a similar experience with PS5 games by streaming them to your phone via the Remote Play app, but you’ll have to fumble with pairing a controller to your phone or deal with touch controls, all while hoping you have a good enough internet connection to keep things from getting laggy. While I enjoy getting fully engrossed in big, cinematic games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ghost of Tsushima from time to time, there’s something relaxingly noncommittal about being able to chip away at a game on my couch without having to give it my full attention on a big screen. Whereas the PS5 takes over my TV, the Switch allows me to complete a few runs in Hades on its built-in display while I half-watch pro wrestling in the background (don’t judge). That versatility isn’t just a flashy gimmick - it also allows the Nintendo Switch to fit into my life in a way that not even the powerful new PlayStation and Xbox can. ![]() The Switch’s versatility is still unmatchedĮven all these years later, there’s still a feeling of magic that comes with playing a game on my TV, removing my Switch from its dock and picking up right where I left off in handheld mode. Now that I’ve bounced between next-gen and current-gen hardware for a good chunk of time, I’m convinced that the Nintendo Switch is still the best console you can buy right now. Part of that is due to how the Switch fits into my life and complements my personal gaming habits, but it’s also a testament to the great software that both Nintendo and third parties continue to pump out for the system years after its launch. But what if I told you that I was still spending most of my gaming time with the nearly four-year-old Nintendo Switch?ĭespite having access to a PS5 and a powerful gaming PC, I still find myself putting hour after hour into Nintendo’s hybrid game console, usually cradling it in handheld mode as the TV blares in the background. The PS5 and Xbox Series X have been out for several months now, delivering zippy load times and stunning 4K graphics to the handful of people that have been able to actually buy them.

Non-Phonetic Words - Words that cannot be decoded phonetically, such as buy, talk, or come.For example, knowing just the Dolch Sight Words would enable you to read about 50% of a newspaper or 80% of a children’s book. Memorizing these words makes reading much easier and smoother, because the child already recognizes most of the words and can concentrate their efforts on new words.

These pages contain resources to teach sight words, including: sight words flash cards, lessons, and games. Sight words are the glue that holds sentences together. You will also hear them referred to as Dolch words or Fry words, the two most commonly used sight words lists. Other terms used to describe sight words include: service words, instant words (because you should recognize them instantly), snap words (because you should know them in a snap), and high frequency words. ![]() Sight Words are memorized so that a child can recognize commonly used or phonetically irregular words at a glance, without needing to go letter-by-letter. Knowing common, or high frequency, words by sight makes reading easier and faster, because the reader does not need to stop to try and sound out each individual word, letter by letter. ![]() Learning sight words allows a child to recognize these words at a glance - on sight - without needing to break the words down into their individual letters and is the way strong readers recognize most words. ![]() Sight words are words that should be memorized to help a child learn to read and write. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plus, there are fun, updated twists (hello, Avocado Fries and Cilantro Lime Slaw).

Hot dogs have come a long way in how they’re served up these days, too. (I’m personally hooked on Lightlife Smart Dogs.) And they’re a fast family dinner so many parents count on to get the kiddos fed in a hurry.īottom line: hot dogs are an easy meal that’s always a hit.Īnd, luckily, they’ve come a long way in terms of more nutritious options, too – with lots of nitrate-free, lower fat, turkey, and even vegan hot dog options showing up in grocery store deli cases. Nope, hot dogs hit the grills alllllll summer long. We love its creamy dressing, crunchy panko coating and spicy jalapeno kick. If you’re like me and enjoy growing your own ingredients, you won’t have to pick up much at the store.

Spear phishing is an effective way to penetrate a company's internal network and is used by 90 percent of APT groups.All amounts stated in this report are approximate actual APT expenses may be significantly higher. One reason is the difficulty of putting a value on the unique software used by criminal groups. It is impossible to make an exact estimate of how much an APT attack costs. ![]() We hope that our study will assist security decision-makers to better protect their systems from industry-specific attacks. We will also analyze how attackers choose their tools based on their target. In this research, we will try to assess the cost of tools used for APT attacks and how easily these tools can be obtained. In other words, criminals' behavior, techniques, and tools depend on their target. Cosmos Bank fell victim to a cyberattack by the Lazarus Group, which stole $13.5 million in just three days. However, profit-driven cybercriminals prefer to act quickly. The longest presence of attackers on a network, as measured by the PT Expert Security Center (PT ESC), was over eight years. For example, the cybersecurity team at German pharmaceutical giant Bayer observed malware activity for over a year. After obtaining a foothold in a company's infrastructure, criminals can stay there unnoticed for years. It's extremely difficult to detect an APT attack when it is underway. To conduct such attacks, hackers form criminal groups, known as APT groups. Multistage, well-planned, and organized attacks targeting a specific industry or company are called advanced persistent threats (APTs). According to FireEye statistics, 64 percent of companies attacked in 2018 were attacked again in the following 19 months.Ī cyberattack against a company with well-organized protection system is time-consuming, expensive, and requires special knowledge and tools. But attackers rarely give up on a target even if their first attempts are unsuccessful. Gartner estimates that worldwide expenditures on digital security will exceed $124 billion this year. That's why potential targets commit considerable resources to securing their information. The assets of well-off companies and governments have always attracted attackers. ![]() ![]() That's what I did and it really looks nice.Ģ. Then you can use a small piece of vertical trim that compliments it to cover the gap. If it's not possible to remove the molding you can put the same molding around the base of the shelf and angle it in so it looks married with the wall molding. Cut the molding at a 45 so it can marry with molding that surrounds the shelf. If possible remove the molding from the section your shelf will be on. I hope that helps, please feel free to ask any other questions at any time if I missed something,ġ. Obviously it's better to cut long and cut twice than to cut too short but I'm sure you already knew that. But measure carefully when doing this because when it is that tight, it won't move but if it's too long or too tall it won't fit. To take full advantage of the space I would also use the full width as the width of the shelf. Plug those numbers into the blank shelf plans above and you'll have a very solid shelf. Since you know the floor to ceiling is 82 inches, I would make that your set height of the shelf so the ceiling is one contact point and the floor another contact point making it tip proof. But it works just as good, as long as the 2x4 pieces are nice and flat and cut perfectly to the size of your shelf. It doesn't really save you much money, only a few bucks so I don't know if it's much of a budget. Still use treated wood on the floor, but cut 2X4"s as shown in the pic above entitled "Budget base". OR the cheaper way, uses less wood but requires more cuts. ![]() Screw them together for a very heavy very solid base. So your base will be basically (2) 2x12" pieces, a treated on the bottom and non treated directly on top of that as shown in the plans. Then start building from there by putting the non treated 2x12" pieces directly on top of that. The quick and easy way is to just use 1 2x12" green treated piece of lumber cut to the width of the shelf. I've build a few of these shelves in my basement. But with a nice green treated base the moisture will not effect it at all. The base you can do 2 ways, and I would use treated lumber for your base with either way since it will be sitting directly on porous concrete and regular wood would rot in no time. I'm sure everyone reading this would enjoy seeing them! Delete Feel free to share some pics if you got them. In fact, I just finished putting up another set of shelves (same wood dimensions) so I'll be doing a part 2 of this blog to elaborate more for the cats like yourself who pay attention to the details. Plus, the overhang makes them easier to flip through and handle. I have had my entire collection stored that way for many years now and they have plenty of surface area to keep them flat and true. Either way, trust me, your records overhanging that much will not damage them in the least. At some point everything changed (probably for the benefit of the lumber companies) and now wood sizes are slightly less then advertised. I know only because I have some as wall studs in my house which was constructed back in the 1950s. Many years ago 2x4s were actually 2 inches by 4 inches. A well chosen shelving or cabinet will blend perfectly with your environment.Thanks for the feedback Tommy! You are right, a 2x12" is not a true 2 inch by 12 inch board, but a 2x4 isn't two inches by four inches either, nor a 4x4" etc. Record player stand with storage read reviews 1 5 photos buildsomething added on 1212016 theres a retro revival happening in music as people rediscover vinyl records.

What to Put in a Coffee Gift Basket or Tea Gift Basket Shopping for a coffee or tea lover this holiday season and looking for a thoughtful, personalized gift? To help make your gift shopping more fun and convenient, we’ve rounded up some unique holiday gift basket ideas below. Instead, you can recycle used coffee grounds to create a natural cleaning scrub or skin exfoliator.Holiday Gift Basket Ideas for Coffee & Tea Lovers If you aren’t getting the results you hoped for, skip the grounds. You may want to test fertilizing plants with and without used coffee grounds. Recycle used coffee grounds in other ways. You can add additional nutrients by using a premade houseplant fertilizer or repotting your plant with fresh potting mix. Reusing used coffee grounds is a fun, free way to fertilizer your houseplants, however, it most likely will not provide your plants with all the nutrients they need. ![]() Don’t forget other nutrients your plants might need. Used (and fresh) grounds can lock together and create a barrier to water penetration and air circulation. If you plan to test out this method, do so sparingly. If you sprinkle used grounds on top of soil, do so sparingly.Īnother way to recycle leftover used coffee grounds is sprinkling them on top of your potting soil. The remaining liquid can be used to water, and gently fertilize, your houseplants. ![]() Let the coffee grounds and water mixture steep for a few nights, stirring occasionally, then strain the liquid through a cheesecloth. We recommend using about a teaspoon of coffee grounds per gallon of water. The key to using used coffee grounds as a liquid fertilizer is dilution! Too much of a good thing is possible, particularly for plants potted in containers. If you do not compost at home, you can create a liquid fertilizer with your used coffee grounds instead. Or create a liquid fertilizer with used coffee grounds. If you are keen on adding compost to your potting soil for the nutrients, consider also adding coarse sand or perlite to the potting mix to help decrease the risk of overwatering. Compost is filled with rich, organic matter and naturally retains water, so not only will you want to be mindful of how much you mix in your potting soil, but you will also want to be mindful of how often you water your plant potted in it. Just like with store-bought fertilizer, a little goes a long way. Excessive amounts of compost or coffee grounds can lead to foliage burn and nutrient toxicity. ![]() When your compost is ready, mix a small amount of it with potting soil and distribute among your plants.ĭepending on what was in your compost mix, be cautious of how much compost you use. To get started, add the used coffee grounds to your compost pile, which usually consists of vegetable peels, fruit skins, and other types of natural waste. The most accepted method, which we also recommend as the best for your plants, is adding the used grounds to your compost. There is a lot of conflicting information online on how to repurpose used coffee grounds into fertilizer. There are a select few plants that can benefit from fresh grounds-including acidity-loving Hydrangeas, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Lily of the Valley, blueberries, carrots, and radishes-but generally, most common houseplants will prefer low to no acidity. This is because fresh grounds can be high in acidity and caffeine, which can have a negative impact on your houseplants. When considering using coffee grounds to fertilize your houseplants, we recommend sticking with used coffee grounds. Fresh grounds are ground-up coffee beans that haven’t been used to brew coffee yet, while used coffee grounds are what’s left over after your coffee has been made. There are two types of grounds to consider for use with your plants: fresh coffee grounds or used coffee grounds. ![]() Opt for used coffee grounds, instead of fresh. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, by following the steps mentioned above, you can easily become a beta tester and stay ahead with the latest advancements in one of the world’s most popular messaging apps.
