![]() The accumulating oligosaccharides in tissue were thus identical in bovine and caprine beta-mannosidosis however, the source of the novel oligosaccharides remains to be determined. As in caprine beta-mannosidosis, oligosaccharides with terminal beta-mannose residues and cleaved as well as uncleaved chitobiose linkages were identified in bovine beta-mannosidosis kidney. ![]() Oligosaccharides accumulating in minor amounts were Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4Man beta 1-4GlcNAc, Man alpha 1-6Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc and Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc. The major accumulating oligosaccharides were Man beta 1-4GlcNAc and Man beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-4GlcNAc. Structures of derivatized oligosaccharides were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, methylation analysis and sequential exoglycosidase digestions.

Pooling of samples prior to submission is inappropriate. There is also a highly concentrated form called Rumatel 88, but this is meant for mixing into large volumes of feed (feed 0.1 lb (45 gram) per 2000 lb BW). The amount of accumulating oligosaccharides in 1 g of wet tissue was about 21 mumol. Johne’s Fecal PCR, Caprine: feces See Direct Fecal PCR Fact Sheet for Veterinarians. Oligosaccharides were extracted from the kidney of an affected Salers calf and purified by chromatographic techniques.

The phenotype of bovine beta-mannosidosis (beta-mannosidase deficiency), recently identified in Salers cattle, is similar to the caprine form of the disease (Abbitt et al., 1991). ![]() ![]() You can also find blenders offering vacuum technology that sucks the oxygen out of the jug before you blend, resulting in less frothy soups and smoothies that retain their nutrients and last longer in the fridge. Others are pre-programmed with instant high to low or pulse settings, and buttons to tackle specific ingredients such as ice or veggies. Number of settings: Some models come with a simple dial to choose the variable speed for your chosen amount of time. Some also come with extra containers and stainless-steel blades for food processing. Some brands now offer a mix of these blender types with a multifunctional base that allows you to switch between jugs and personal blending cups. This lets you prepare around 700ml in one go, so it’s good for small batches of smoothies or post-workout protein shakes.Īlternatively, you can choose the classic glass jug or “multi-serve” blender style, which is great for making large quantities as it holds a far greater capacity of ingredients than the personal design – up to 2L in some instances. There are two main types of freestanding blender, including the personal or smoothie blender style, which is a small, kitchen-friendly “bullet”-type design with a compact, portable plastic jug attachment. Type of blender: Think about what you want your blender to be able to do, as this will dictate the type of blender you can buy. When it comes to size, features and flexibility, there are a range of blenders to choose from at various price points, which we have highlighted here in our round-up of the best blenders for 2021. A powerful blender can also be used for crushing ice cubes for happy-hour cocktails, making sauces and salsas or your own nut butters and coconut oil, smoothing baby food and pancake mix and even grinding coffee beans. You can also use a blender to whizz up soups while tailoring the texture to your taste – be it for a chunky, hearty lentil soup, a clear skinny onion broth or a creamy chowder – but a dedicated soup maker will offer the edge if you’ll be using it solely for this purpose. That said, if you know this is about the extent of what you’ll use a blender for, you might be better off with a dedicated juicer or smoothie maker. A blender is particularly good at making smoothies and frozen beverages, with the ability to crush ice with ease and blitz fresh kale and frozen berries to create a satisfyingly smooth drink. Unlike a novelty gadget such as a popcorn or waffle maker – which will probably only come out of the cupboard on special occasions and long weekends – a blender is something you’ll use time and time again, so it should take pride of place on the worktop.Ī blender best works with liquids and soft ingredients, as opposed to dry foods, which work best in a food processor. ![]() Read on to find out which blenders we rate here at GQ in our round-up of the best blenders for 2022. Perfect for making green smoothies for breakfast or hot soups for lunch, whizzing up ingredients for gourmet dinners or even prepping ice cream and milkshakes for after, the latest blenders are more enticing in design and functionality than ever before. Watch any cookery programme and you’ll notice how much top chefs rely on a blender to ground, chop or blitz foods to a silky texture. Want to take the heavy lifting out of making fresh and flavoursome drinks, soups and sauces? If you enjoy creating healthy drinks and making meals from scratch, a blender is an essential buy that’s sure to add some versatility to your kitchen repertoire. ![]() ![]() ![]() The rest of the fallen angels and Satan will one day be judged and thrown into the lake of fire as well. Some fallen angels have so disregarded the natural order and committed such abominations that God has seen fit to bind them there awaiting their final judgment and prevent them from influencing the world. Do not torment me! The Matthew account also includes their request not to be sent into the abyss.This is a reminder of the idea we talked about before that intellectual agreement with the facts about Jesus does not equal a saving faith. These demons understood who Jesus was.The idea is not to see how close to the line we should get (that attitude is often seen in the sentence, “the Bible doesn’t say I can’t do it, so it must be OK), but should rather see how far away from the line we can stay (that attitude is seen in the question, “Does this glorify God. We should avoid even the appearance of evil. Do not consider doing something bad for a good purpose, telling white lies, or compromising for the greater good. We should understand this and stay far away from evil. The two sides are diametrically opposed and there is no hope of compromise or reconciliation. What business do we have with each other? See 2 Corinthians 2:14-18.So why were they bowing? It could have been mocking him (like the Roman guards who put the purple robe on Jesus.) If not mocking him, they could have been patronizing him in an attempt to get mercy and have a more favorable outcome to this confrontation. Clearly these demons were not submitting themselves to Jesus’ Their words make this very clear.Follow the principles in God’s Word and pray for His help. How can we do this? We must be alert to temptations and always turn to the Lord through prayer and the Word. We have to rely on the Lord who is stronger than He is. He is stronger than we are and smarter than we are. Their own efforts and their own strength were not enough.Īpplication: We cannot hope to win the spiritual warfare against Satan and his demons by our own power. There is no evidence that they prayed or asked God for help. The problem was that people tried to subdue this man with their own strength. Except Samson’s strength came from the Lord and this man’s strength came from demons. Obviously people had tried many times to bind him, but every time he broke free. He was stronger than everyone else and therefore free to roam around causing turmoil. The demon-possessed man possessed uncanny strength. No one could subdue him. He knew that people would be out to discredit his ministry and therefore he always had people go into his hotel rooms to make sure no women were waiting there to entice him. That means being careful to avoid any potential temptations. He also doesn’t want us to tell others about the Lord or teach others about Him. Satan doesn’t want us to follow the Lord. They are actively working against God, against the church, and against believers.Īpplication: We should not be surprised to face opposition to following God. This is a very stark reminder that Satan and demons are very real and are active in this world. In that parable we saw that where the sower was spreading seed, Satan was also there opposing the work of the sower and taking the seed from people’s hearts. This fits with the parable of the soils in the last chapter. Satan and his dark spiritual forces clearly knew where Jesus was and were waiting to oppose him. ![]() These demons were seemingly sent to oppose Jesus’ work and cause disturbances and problems in hopes of preventing Jesus’ message from reaching the people. How did he know Jesus was coming? How did he know who Jesus was? What was his purpose? I believe this fact can give us some insight into the organizational ability and intel of Satan and his cohorts. This man met Jesus as soon as Jesus got out of the boats. Some questions immediately pop into my mind. Never give in and never give any foothold. James rightly said that we should resist the devil. He often makes big promises about the fun and pleasure people can have if they give in to his temptations, but such people are always disappointed and find themselves trapped and enslaved instead. ![]() Satan has always appeared as an angel of light. Demons seem to take delight in causing misery and torment to their hosts. Demons drove these people (Matthew 8:28 mentions two of them) to live in this horrific place. ![]() They were not allowed to touch touch bodies. A man from the tombs. For Jews, tombs were an unclean place. ![]() ![]() I will present various options for various needs. Therefore, some of my requirements might not apply to a tech-savvy Mac user, though I bias toward simpler solutions even for my own use. I’m looking for a network Time Machine solution that isn’t just good for me, but for my clients, who don’t share my tech skills and many of whom I support remotely. Requirements for Network Time Machine Backup For an extra level of protection, you may opt for the My Cloud Home Duo, a model that writes your backup twice across two drives. As such, if all the other possible solutions-some of which are less expensive, offer better performance, and provide more flexible restoration options-seem overwhelming, just get yourself a My Cloud Home and move on. As you’ll see, it meets almost none of my preferred technical requirements, but it’s dead easy to set up, and it fulfills its purpose reliably. As a network backup device, it is nearly a direct equivalent to the Time Capsule. To the extent that I conclude anything, it is that when it comes to network backup for the Mac, there are many choices, each with tradeoffs, and you’ll need to decide what makes the most sense for your situation.īut first, one product stands out purely on simplicity-Western Digital’s My Cloud Home. In this article, I will detail my quest to find or build a better Time Capsule and solicit the collective wisdom of the TidBITS community to further that quest. I have set up several NAS devices as Time Capsule replacements for clients, and while they do work, none are perfect, many are too complex or expensive, and some share problems (notably slow performance) with the Time Capsule while introducing a few of their own. The Time Capsule’s void has been filled by third-party NAS products, though I suspect many Mac users are generally unaware of this category of product. For this reason, I don’t consider synchronizing to be equivalent to backup. Plus, any technology that synchronizes also has the power to delete files from your computer. ICloud Drive’s Desktop & Documents syncing also provides some protection from lost files, but it’s even less comprehensive, omitting, for example, everything else in your Home folder, including your Downloads folder and local cache of mail. Plus, two automated backup systems provide better insurance than one. It is less comprehensive and requires considerably more work to restore from, especially if you need to restore an entire machine. However, I see cloud backup as a complement to Time Machine, not a replacement for it. Unfortunately, when Apple discontinued its AirPort line of home networking products in 2018, the Time Capsule was one of the casualties.Ī potential alternative is a cloud backup service such as Backblaze, which I frequently recommend, and such a service works even when the laptop is not on your home network. I have seen it fail occasionally, though it saves users’ data much more often than not. As an unusual hybrid, Time Capsule did not earn the confidence of some Mac users as a reliable backup device. ![]() The Time Capsule acted as a destination for automatic, hourly Time Machine backups from Mac computers on the same network. In other words, it was a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, though Apple never described it as such. ![]() ![]() (If you have to remember to connect a drive for backup, the backup system is no longer fully automatic.)Īpple answered the need for ongoing wireless laptop backups in 2008 with its AirPort Time Capsule, a Wi-Fi router with a hard drive inside. But, speaking from my experience as a consultant, I find that the vast majority of laptop users, myself included, are unlikely to plug in a drive regularly. Since its introduction in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Apple’s Time Machine has become one of the Mac’s most essential features, providing transparent, fully automatic, full-machine backup to an external drive, with retention of backup history limited only by the external drive’s capacity.įor desktop Macs, it’s easy to keep an external Time Machine drive permanently connected. ![]() Network Time Machine Backups: Moving on from the Time Capsule #1669: OS security updates, ambiguity of emoji, small business payments with Melio, Twitter now X.#1670: Arc Web browser hits 1.0 release, “Do You Use It?” polls about Apple features.#1671: Apple Q3 2023 earnings, new Beats headphones and earbuds, Stage Manager adoption rate, do you use Spotlight?.1672: The hidden power of Google Sheets, Launchpad usage levels, Emergency SOS via satellite in the Maui fires, do you use proxy icons?.1673: macOS 13.5.1, watchOS 9.6.1, copy data from Web tables, what Spotlight is used for, do you use Apple’s Weather app?. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ships float in the Harbours, smoke rises from the chimneys of Cities and the Robber is waiting to take resources away.

User numbers for Horizon Worlds – Meta’s first draft of an interconnected world entered via a VR headset – have steadily declined during the past year. But less than two years and $36bn later, the project has stalled, with little to show for it. According to Nick Clegg, Meta’s president of global affairs, the project would take a decade to revolutionise the way we browse the web. Zuckerberg first outlined his vision for the Metaverse, the “successor to the mobile internet”, in 2021. But the dream of a coordinated manifestation of websites and users, built on current technologies (VR headsets, blockchains, cryptocurrencies and all) and opening unprecedented opportunities to virtual landowners, marketers and advertisers, has persisted at the highest levels of corporate Silicon Valley, up to and including Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg. And even at the height of its popularity in the late 2000s, it attracted only around a million monthly users – a fraction of the number enjoyed by some online video games (the makers of Fortnite claim a consistent 80 million) and far fewer than would be necessary to sustain a business such as, say, Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook. ![]() Second Life did not replace the internet in this way.

One might walk from, say, eBay marketplace to YouTube cineplex or take a virtual Uber from the great library of Wikipedia to the twin towers of TikTok and Instagram. Definitions vary, but most experts agree the metaverse is, put simply, the internet made metropolis: an immersive, contiguous representation of data and the active user communities within. It remains both the first and the most successful manifestation of a so-called metaverse, a compelling if somewhat imprecise term coined by American writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 sci-fi novel Snow Crash. While Second Life’s world was viewed by many as rudimentary and its inhabitants eccentric, in hindsight it represented a bold, pioneering experiment, launched while Facebook was still a website for rating the attractiveness of Harvard students. Transactions and withdrawals were subject to a tiny fee, which contributed to the cost of server maintenance – a revolutionary, influential business model. The world used its own currency – the Linden dollar, withdrawable into local currencies – to establish a global, user-to-user economy. Someone claiming to represent the far-right French National Front joined in (their HQ was the site of virtual clashes with anti-racism demonstrators in 2007). The US universities MIT and Stanford established faculties in Second Life. The retail outlet American Apparel opened a virtual store on a private island called Lerappa – “Apparel” spelt backwards – selling costumes for avatars. Some used their space to stage art exhibitions and theatrical performances others built kink palaces. While in cities like New York or London you might never own a flat, in Second Life you could design, build and inhabit a mansion. Renters could build whatever they wanted on their turf. IBM, just like any other denizen of Second Life, paid ground rent to own a “region” of the game, one region representing 6.5 hectares of digital turf, currently rented at $166 (£134) a month. It was a historic moment, a journalist for Bloomberg reported at the time: Palmisano was “the first big-league CEO” to stage a company-wide meeting in Second Life – “the most popular of a handful of new-fangled 3D online virtual worlds”. Looming out of the throng at the back stood a 10ft IBM employee, his digital face plastered in Gene Simmons-style white makeup, with shoulder-length, Sonic-blue hair.

In the first part of the passage, Solomon describes what the early church taught as “The Way of Life” and “The Way of Death. Now, we come to the verse in question.ġ8 When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he! Solomon advises to start your child down the right path because, in the end, the way of transgression will end in destruction. In the next section, Solomon gives advice how to cultivate right living and integrity.ġ5 A rod and reproof impart wisdom, but a child who is unrestrained brings shame to his mother.ġ6 When the wicked increase, transgression increases, but the righteous will see their downfall.ġ7 Discipline your child, and he will give you rest he will bring you happiness. The previous section covered the devastation the wicked bring on themselves and others as well as the positive influence the righteous have on their community. The next section how to interact with a person without integrity, as well as the blessing the righteous are everywhere they go.ħ The righteous person cares for the legal rights of the poor the wicked person does not understand such knowledge.Ĩ Scornful people inflame a city, but those who are wise turn away wrath.ĩ When a wise person goes to court with a foolish person, there is no peace whether he is angry or laughs.ġ0 Bloodthirsty people hate someone with integrity as for the upright, they seek his life.ġ1 A fool lets fly with all his temper, but a wise person keeps it back.ġ2 If a ruler listens to lies, all his ministers will be wicked.ġ3 The poor person and the oppressor have this in common: the Lord gives light to the eyes of them both.ġ4 If a king judges the poor in truth, his throne will be established forever. In the next verse, there is a comparison of the impact their actions have on themselves.Ħ In the transgression of an evil person there is a snare, but a righteous person can sing and rejoice. In these four verses, there is a compare and contrast of the impact of the righteous and the wicked have on those around them. 5 The one who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps. 3 The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but whoever associates with prostitutes wastes his wealth.Ĥ A king brings stability to a land by justice, but one who exacts tribute tears it down. The chapter begins with a warning not to ignore rebukes or risk being “destroyed without remedy.” This is similar to a number of other verses in the bible that warn about “hardening your heart” such as the writer of Hebrews warns in Hebrews 3:12-13 (WEB):ġ2 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.Ģ When the righteous become numerous, the people rejoice when the wicked rule, the people groan.
