That’s what it does, but to get control over it is another story.” Anybody can get color with heating copper. "He is the first one to separate them into little shapes and colors. “He is called the father of flame painting because he is the first one to get control over the colors that are natural when you heat copper,” says his wife, Racheal. In total, he made 15,000 butterflies during his decade-long dedication to mastering the process.įlame Painter Skip Mathews at work. “That is when I went from calling myself a copper colorist to a flame painter because I was able to create contrast and composition with the flame,” he says. Six years into his experimentation process, he figured out how to create patterns in specific colors on the copper. Initially I thought I could only do one color.” “When I saw I was able to create patterns - that just sort of opened up all sorts of things. “In the beginning, I had no idea that patterns were even possible,” he says. "Fifteen years later, I finally realized it was the reduction part of my torch. I promised myself for the next ten years I would make nothing but butterflies to perfect the process."Īlong the way, he made another discovery. “Whenever I would solder, there would always be these colors around these solder marks," he says. Soon, he had a realization that would change his artistic career. Then, I progressed on with the copper and began doing jewelry,” he says. “When I left the University, I started with a candle company, making copper clad candles. "Luckily, I didn’t have the money to be a potter." “I had the choice in college of being a potter or a metalsmith," he says. Skip Mathews made a decision during his college studies at the University of Arizona, Tucson, that shaped his artistic journey as a coppersmith for the last 50 years. Flame Painting by Skip and Racheal Mathews. Booting from an external drive or an USBįor some reason if you want to boot from an external drive, just hold the Option key before the Apple logo flashes during the booting process. Go to Settings > Keyboard > Modifier keys, and now you can assign Control function for Cmd key, etc. You can remap keyboard keys using the built in Settings app in Mac. If you find yourself hitting Ctrl key too often instead of Cmd, then here’s a nice tip. The point is simple, there’s no ‘Cut’ option in Mac, but you can just drag a file to any folder and it’s moved. For keyboard junkies, Cmd+Alt+V does the trick. Windows converts who are used to Ctrl+X for cutting and pasting files will be easily annoyed as Cmd+X doesn’t work. Note that hitting Tab key will auto-complete the path, which can be useful. Mac’s finder can be too simple (and incomplete) at first sight, without showing path and all the stuff you’re used to in Windows explorer.įirst of all, you can enter path to open a directory in Finder: Right-click Finder icon in dock and hit “Go to folder”. You also get window previews when you hover cursor over any opened dock item. It’s not all about window management, anyway. Just move a window to a screen edge and it resizes itself. Hyperdock brings Aero Snap (a Windows 7 feature) to Mac, which makes window management a breeze. Also, too many gestures can confuse you, so feel free to un-tick the ones which aren’t useful. For one finger dragging, go to Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad > Trackpad options, and select dragging ‘without drag lock’. Open the Settings app and go to Trackpad > Point & click, tick next to ‘Tap to click’. The whole trackpad itself is a button.īut wait, there’s an annoying thing about the Mac trackpad – there’s no tap-to-click by default, along with no double tap-to-drag. It’s so large (even on the 13″ MBP) that can fit all your five fingers allowing numerous inbuilt gestures. The Mac trackpad is the best in its market, that’s for sure. Setup the Mac trackpad to work like that of Windows laptops The transition from PC to Mac wasn’t so smooth but I’ve come across a lot of apps (and tricks) which made Mac a lot more user friendly. I’ve recently got a Macbook (mid-2012 MBP) for myself, and the experience has been awesome – be it the design or apps or the smoothness of OS, Apple has got you covered.Īpparently, like everyone else, I’ve been using Windows (and Ubuntu sometimes) all my life. In 1878, Frederiksen, a former dairyman and recent immigrant opened a branch of the Hansen Laboratory in New York State, which at the time was the center of the American cheesemaking industry. Frederiksen who brought rennet extract to the United States. According to Hansen, he sought to make “an extract of high keeping quality, uniform strength, and free from contaminating impurities characteristic of the, often foul, liquid of uncertain coagulating power produced by soaking the stomachs in whey in the dairy.” Hansen, a Danish chemist and pharmacist, established the Hansen’s Technical-Chemical Laboratory in Denmark to create a stable rennet extract for the cheese-making industry. When mixed with milk or cream it coagulates, producing cheese curds and whey (the liquid that is left after curds form). From the California Newspapers Archive.īut what is rennet? Today, it is typically a plant-based product, but historically, rennet is the digestive enzyme found in the stomach lining of nursing calves, sheep, goats, deer, elk, and other ruminant animals. Advertisement for the California Milk Producers’ Association from The Los Angeles Herald, January 11, 1921. However, junket seems to fallen out of favor by the 1960s. It remained a popular dessert and was eventually touted as a beneficial food for “invalids and healthy people of all ages” since it encouraged the consumption of milk, which was considered part of a healthy diet for most of the 20 th century. Once reserved for European nobility in the 14 th and 15 th century, junket eventually made its way to American dining room tables by the late 19 th century. The name might have been derived from a French dish from the Middle Ages, made from a sweetened curdled cream known as jonquet. What sounds like a Shakespearean insult, is actually a custard-like, rennet-based dessert with an incredibly long history. When I came across the bizarre sounding name while looking through Famous Recipes for Baker’s Chocolate and Breakfast Cocoa published in 1928, I leapt at the chance to recreate this funny-sounding treat. Growing up on the West Coast and in the latter half of the 20 th century, I never had the pleasure of eating hermits (a type of spice cookie from New England), buckles (a cake made with fruit and streusel), or in the case of today’s historic recipe, junket. One of my favorite things about going through the Museum’s collection of recipe books is discovering the variety of odd-named desserts and treats that were once popular favorites but have since faded into memory. Previously I had a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and now I use a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2017 model). Why Trust Me for This Review?įirst off – I’ve been using Mac computers for 10 years. You can’t rely on a third-party app to boost the performance of your computer, it’s just unrealistic. It’s also common knowledge that whether a computer runs fast or slow largely depends on its hardware configuration and the software programs it’s processing. At least I don’t see such benchmark tests as of this writing. There is no convincing evidence that a Mac with more available storage will be faster than one with less available storage. Remember, a Mac cleaner app will (probably) not make your Mac faster. Plus, it’s much quieter thanks to the new SSD. After the upgrade, it only took ten seconds or so. Initially, my MacBook needed at least 30 seconds to fully start up. You’d be better off simply upgrading your Mac.Ĭase in point: I had a mid-2012 MacBook Pro and I managed to replace the internal HDD (a Hitachi hard disk drive) with a new solid-state drive from Crucial, and the performance boost absolutely blew my mind. On the other hand, you probably won’t benefit from a Mac cleaner app if you are using an old Mac that is running super slow, keeps freezing now and then, or has other performance issues. Or you are a power Mac user who knows how to clean your Mac manually, but it’s not worth your time. You are relatively new to Mac or are not so comfortable with navigating macOS to manually check and remove unneeded files.Your Mac machine is running out of disk space, especially when you get this “your disk is almost full” warning.Therefore, you can consider using a cleaning app in the following situations: In my opinion, the main value proposition of a Mac cleaning app is to help you reclaim more storage on your Mac while spending less time achieving it in the process. For those who are not into tech, Mac cleaner software can save you some time or hassles cleaning your Mac. If you are a power Mac user, you probably don’t need it. If your Mac is relatively new, you don’t need it. There are also a few apps that you should absolutely avoid because they either don’t work as they claim or are not compatible with macOS Monterey.If you are looking for a free Mac cleaner, try CCleaner Free. CleanMyMac X is the best paid Mac cleaner for most people.
Additionally, you can use the button shortcuts to start/stop video recording or to save screenshots as follows: For some PS4 games, even if you start video recording with a resolution of 3840 x 2160, it may still be recorded at a resolution of 1920 x 1080. You can take screenshots and images by pressing the create button on your DualSense wireless controller to show the create menu.
The paid variant provides 600+ apps, text search, spell-check, ad-blocker, etc.įranz is another popular all-in-one messaging app available for different platforms. The app is now bifurcated into free and paid variants where the latter one costs $4/month. Rambox recently moved from the open-source banner to the paid model. Thus you can create your own custom themes or event handlers for Rambox. My favorite feature is the JS and CSS code injection which simply means it lets you access the inspect element code of the app. Upon setup, Rambox will ask you to enter the password on every startup. Another nifty feature is the Master Password which lets you set up a single password for all your apps. Hence, you can hit the DND mode which would block all the app notifications. The notifications from all these apps can get distracting at times. Apart from these if you don’t find your favorite web apps, you can add the URL within “Custom Service” and start using it within Rambox. It has a huge list of Messaging and Email apps like Slack, Messenger, ProtonMail, etc. Rambox is the most popular all-in-one messaging app for Linux distros. About the paid variant, I couldn’t find a password manager integration or a lock-down mode. The free variant also doesn’t have DND mode, chrome extensions, unified search, etc. The biggest of them being the “Sent with Shift” signature on every email. Shift is a great app but the free variant is quite restricted. All the Gmail shortcuts are also retained, so things work the same as in a normal browser window. I use a GSuite account and I was happy to see that as soon as I sign in to Gmail, I get Google Calendar and Google Drive connected in the same tab. Although, Shift allows you to use only 2 apps in the free variant. For a minimal user, it has a wide list of 700+ apps to choose from. But, it does stacks up pretty well in both the roles. Shift is more-of a Gmail focused email client rather than an all-in-one messenger app. Best All-in-One Messenger Apps for Linux 1. Scrolling through GitHub, Reddit, Ubuntu repository, I prepared a list of hand-picked All-In-One messenger apps for Linux and here goes the list. Moreover, the DND features to snooze notifications of individual apps and 1Password integration were an added bonus. Back in Windows, I used Station which met all my requirements and had all the apps I wanted like Trello, Slack, WhatsApp, Gmail, etc. Ever since I have started using Ubuntu as my daily driver, I have been searching for good all-in-one messaging apps.

I also removed support for Growl Notifications to replace it with support for the new Notification Center in 10.8. Then I replaced the old-style code signing with Developer ID, which works in conjunction with the new Gatekeeper security mechanism. The first thing I did is stop compiling for 32bit architectures like the first Intel-Macs, because Mountain Lion is only running on 64bit architectures anyway, which means less to download.
