![]() This leads to many fun and embarrassing stories. This typically occurs when they are targeted. One variation on the game states that if a player is drinking alone, they must recount the story of why they are drinking. Never Have I Ever…been to a concert VARIANT GAME RULESĪ common variant of this game is played in King’s Cup, in which players put up 3 or 5 fingers and the first person with all their fingers down drinks. Never Have I Ever…seen a play on broadway Never Have I Ever…had a life or death experience Never Have I Ever…finished a game of Life Never Have I Ever…watched a let’s play on youtube Never Have I Ever…fully completed a video game Never Have I Ever…tripped someone on purpose Never Have I Ever…asked IT for tips for my at-home computer Never Have I Ever…fallen asleep on a plane Never Have I Ever…pretended to be dumb to seem funny Never Have I Ever…withheld an answer out of spite Never Have I Ever…lied to get out of work Never Have I Ever…stopped working in a group project Never Have I Ever…had to break into my own home Never Have I Ever…left a party without telling anyone Never Have I Ever…pretended to like something because most people did Never Have I Ever…fallen in love at first sight ![]() Never Have I Ever…pretended someone was funny so they’d like me Never Have I Ever…had a surprise party thrown for me Never Have I Ever…been to a foreign country Safe for Work Topicsįor those of you who want to play Never Have I Ever, but want some safe for work options for topics. It’s an easy game with simple rules, but a ton of fun with good friends. After the person starting passes their turn, the game continues with the next player doing the same. The first player who can be determined any random way (a great suggestion is who has the coolest shoes), start by stating something they have never done.Īs with the standard game rules, players who have done this will put a finger down and drink. To start all the players will sit in a circle together. The game rules for the non drinking Never Have I Ever are very similar to the game rules for the drinking version. Never have I ever…canceled on a friend for no reason Never have I ever…worked at a strip club Never have I ever…fallen asleep at the wheel Never have I ever…gone on a blind date Never have I ever…been blackout drunk Never have I ever…cheated on a partner Never have I ever… drank someone else’s alcohol at a bar Never have I ever…had group sex Never have I ever…stolen something Never have I ever…hurt myself trying to be funny Never have I ever…ghosted multiple friends Never have I ever…pooped my pants in public Never have I ever…flirted with a customer for tips Never have I ever…stood up someone on a date NON DRINKING VERSIONįor those of us who do not drink, you may still play Never Have I Ever. If no one puts their finger down, the player who called the prompt must drink (this is an optional rule but, a fun one!). Players who have done this thing put down a single finger and take a drink. Starting with the youngest player (or any other random determiner, like who has the coolest shoes), the first person will declare “Never Have I Ever…,” admitting to something they have not done. Never Have I Ever has easier Game rules, so no matter how drunk you get, you can keep the game play going. The game is best with people who make horrible life decisions, just so you have some wild things to call your friends out on. This game typically incites fun stories, and players often target other players into admitting to something crazy or embarrassing that they have done. Players grab a beverage and sit in a circle with a group of friends or strangers and get to know each other a little better. This makes it much more versatile than your standard board games and a great addition to the rotation of play for groups that meet up frequently. While board games have dominated the party game sector for the last couple of years, Never Have I ever is a classic game that is perfect for any type of get-together and has no setup and very few rules to explain. Never Have I Ever is a fun and intrusive drinking game which also goes by the name Ten Fingers. The game is verbal and, for that reason, reminiscent of childhood games, with a wet adult twist, booze.Īs with any drinking game Never Have I ever should be played responsibly. TYPE OF GAME: Drinking Social Game AUDIENCE: 21+ NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 4+ players MATERIALS: Your hands, alcohol, good friends, and some horrible life decisions. OBJECTIVE OF NEVER HAVE I EVER: Be the last player playing. TriggerDagRunOperator: Used when a system-event trigger comes from another DAG within the same Airflow environment.Starting with Airflow 2, there are a few reliable ways that data teams can add event-based triggers. But each method has limitations. Below are the primary methods to create event-based triggers in Airflow: However, enterprises recognize the need for real-time information. To achieve a real-time data pipeline, enterprises typically turn to event-based triggers. Since its inception, Airflow has been designed to run time-based, or batch, workflows. While there are many benefits to using Airflow, there are also some important gaps that large enterprises typically need to fill. This article will explore the gaps and how to fill them with the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC). At its core, Airflow helps data engineering teams orchestrate automated processes across a myriad of data tools.Įnd-users create what Apache calls Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG), or a visual representation of sequential automated tasks, which are then triggered using Airflow’s scheduler. You can do this by using a secret, as described in the GitHub documentation on securing your webhooks.Apache Airflow is a very common workflow management solution that is used to create data pipelines. ![]() ![]() Also, remember to secure your webhook payloads to ensure that only authorized requests can trigger your DAGs. Please note that this is a high-level overview and the exact implementation may vary based on your specific use case and environment. Here's an example: from import trigger_dagįor more details, refer to the Airflow documentation on triggering DAGs. For example, you can use the trigger_dag function from the .trigger_dag module to trigger a DAG run. You can do this by using the Airflow API. Once your endpoint receives a webhook payload, it should trigger the appropriate DAG. Trigger the DAG in response to the webhook payload: For more details, refer to the Flask documentation on routing. You can use the Flask web framework, which Airflow is built on, to create this endpoint. This endpoint should be able to parse the payload and trigger the appropriate DAG based on the event type and other data in the payload. You'll need to create an HTTP endpoint in your Airflow instance that can receive the webhook payloads from GitHub. For more details, refer to the GitHub documentation on creating webhooks.Ĭreate an endpoint in your Airflow instance to receive the webhook payloads: You'll also need to select which events you want to trigger the webhook. ![]() Here, you'll need to specify the Payload URL, which is the URL of your Airflow instance that will receive the webhook payloads. In your GitHub repository, navigate to Settings > Webhooks > Add webhook. ![]() Set up a webhook in your GitHub repository: Here's a high-level overview of the steps you would need to follow: This can be useful for automating the execution of workflows in response to events such as code pushes or pull requests. You can use GitHub webhooks to trigger Airflow DAGs in a continuous integration pipeline by setting up a webhook in your GitHub repository to send an HTTP request to your Airflow instance whenever a specific event occurs. ![]() Here are some of the common issues you could encounter: If you use these to get a fraudulent CCleaner license key (even if you don’t mean to because these sites can look pretty convincing!) your computer and data are at risk. Sometimes these versions won’t work from the start, sometimes they will but you won’t get all the safety updates because these sites only offer a static version. They will come with a fake activation key. You’ll find illegitimate versions of our software (and other pirated software) from a warez site or via BitTorrent. Where can I find a CCleaner license key for free? Many of our programs are free too, and we’ll run through a couple in more detail at the end if you’re interested in speeding up your PC and making it more secure. Our tech team works really hard to try and keep people safe through great products such as CCleaner Professional, Kamo, and CCleaner Browser. We don’t want to see a fake version of our software (or any program) harm any user or their computer. ![]() These sites lure unsuspecting users in by promising free versions of otherwise paid software from a reputable source. Since the software can be handled numerous times before landing there, you never know if it’s been compromised with malware and other nasties. Cracked software is pirated and placed onto illegal cracking sites. That’s because cracked software has exploded in recent years. Why do software companies use a license key? It’s to safeguard their users and their reputation. When they download our software and enter their private key it unlocks the software and they can use it knowing they will get full customer support and updates when they are released. When one of our customers purchases a product like CCleaner Professional it comes with a unique CCleaner license key. Want a CCleaner license key? We know where to find one.Ī CCleaner license key is used to protect users from downloading malicious, illegitimate software. ![]() We were particularly impressed by the free, unlimited access to an extensive, royalty-free library of content from Shutterstock. And when it came to exporting our test piece, we loved the simplicity of clicking the Produce button.ĬyberLink PowerDirector 365 is available for Windows and Mac and features a 100-track timeline, strong stabilisation and video correction tools, professional effects, multi-cam editing, motion tracking and surprisingly easy trimming. There's also 360-degree video editing, together with support for all the file standards and formats you can imagine. There are a lot of intuitive controls that speed up the process, too, including automatic gap filling and an overlay channel that sits beneath the primary video on the timeline. When we reviewed it, we found it to be one of the most simple, well-designed, and attractive video editing interfaces we've used to date. While beginners might still be freaked out by the apparent complexity of the interface (in which case, we'd recommend Premiere Elements, below), those who've used any type of video editing tool before will find it pretty easy to pick up and run with. In which case, you'd be better off with a cheaper, simpler, middleweight video editor.īased on our review, we rate CyberLink PowerDirector 365 as the best video editing software for non-pros who have some experience of editing video. If you're not working as a professional video editor but do a lot of editing (as a YouTuber, for example, or in the course of your marketing or graphic design job) Premiere Pro may be overkill. If you're looking for a full-feature package that can compete with the big names, DaVinci Resolve is definitely worth a look. Its interface can take a bit of getting used to, but shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're used to video editing. Even better, you can do everything you need to within a single app, without the need to open and manage various different apps to achieve the best results. We also love its new Relight tool, which analyses your images and creates associated normal maps. But it's no one-trick pony, and its smart video-stabilisation tool and built-in audio mixing abilities are powerful and capable. We've found its colour-grading options truly excel (unsurprising given its past). "It comes with all the industry-leading colour grading tools but includes some next-gen tools such as auto-subtitling and transcribing tools." "I love this version of Resolve," said our reviewer. But what if you want to pay to get a few more features? That's where DaVinci Resolve Studio comes in. It's actually our top pick of the best free video editing software out there. There is no doubt that BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve is a great video editing package. As Premiere Pro is cross-platform, we rate it as the best video editing software overall.įor more details, check out our Adobe Premiere Pro review, our guides to the best Premiere Pro tutorials, and our comparisons of Premiere Pro vs Premiere Elements and Adobe Premiere Pro vs Premiere Rush. The other is Final Cut Pro, but that's only available for Mac. ![]() The latest update in June 2022 (version 22.5), introduces new workspaces for vertical video, the ability to add gradients to strokes and shadows for titles and graphics, and support for the RED V-RAPTOR camera.Īdobe Premiere Pro is one of the two industry-standard tools for video editing on our list. Like all Creative Cloud software, Premiere Pro is constantly being updated, and subscribers get all updates for free. You can work on an unlimited number of video tracks (we fired up four 4K videos in our testing), which can be imported from pretty much any source. ![]() The software supports 4K, 8K and VR formats, and trimming and editing tools give you a high degree of precision and control. Customisable keyboard shortcuts and superior collaboration features were the icing on the cake. In our experience, the automatic sync works like a dream when you have multi-angle shots, and it's hard to fault the fine-tuning tools that really make your video stand out from the crowd. He either takes his time away to collect his thoughts and comes back or he decides to make the break permanent, meaning it's truly over. There are only going to be two outcomes from a break. The only exception might be being if the two of you have an open relationship or your situation is so new that formal rules haven’t been put into place. People are generally attracted to confidence and strength, and you're really not doing yourself any favors by begging him to change his mind.Īlso, breaks aren’t a good time to jump on the apps and start hooking up, hoping to get revenge. ![]() That kind of behavior screams “codependent” and “clingy.” When someone needs space, the most caustic thing you can do is insist you stay together. Trying to talk him out of it isn’t a smart idea. Unfortunately, the answer is must respect his wishes and let him have his break. On the other hand, he might still want to get away from you for a bit. And that might even make him completely reconsider the whole break thing. If you relieve that pressure, things will probably get better, or at least clearer. Which is a really lonely place to be it's awful to have to hide your feelings from the man you're supposedly closest to in the world. So much of the time, in a relationship, we wander around with these caged feelings - all of this steaming emotional garbage we'd like to express to our significant other, but that we don't, because we feel that we can't. One of the best things you can do in a situation like this is make him feel heard. You can't be This means being open to things you may not want to hear. You actually have to want to know WTF is going on. ![]() There's an important aspect of this approach, hover. Say that you want to be absolutely clear about why this break is happening, so you can see whether there's some underlying relationship problem you were aware of that you could improve - whether that involves expressing more gratitude, showering more, attending more to the little things, or whatever. And there's a simple way to go about this. I've experienced both types.Īssuming the latter is the case, if you want to address things, the first step is to determine what the hell is going on. Okay, sometimes “I want to take a break” can be translated into: “I just want some space to myself, because you're annoying me, during which I'll stare out the window and remember how much I love your smile and how much I want to blow you every day.”īut often, it means “I want to break up with you but am too chicken to pull the trigger, so I'm going to string things along in a maximally painful way, during which you'll find out that I'm hooking up on the apps or taking a fun vacation to Palm Springs without you.” ![]() This can mean any one of a dozen things, some of them perfectly natural, some of them horrible.

You're sure to find at least one that works with your personality. Lucky for you, we’ve already done the work and compiled a list of the 25 most comfortable high heels in various silhouettes, textures, and heights. But the good news is, they’re definitely out there-even if it takes endless internet browsing to scout ’em out. With ALL this expert guidance in mind, it might seem overwhelming to find a heel that’s both chic AND comfy. Also, moleskin and anti-blister sticks can lessen friction when applied to blister-prone areas of your feet. Heel grips help provide more stability and less slippage if the heel area is too loose. Lee says you can place gel pads into the plantar forefoot area of the shoe for more shock absorption. Some pain-reducing shoe "accessories" can be worth it, too. "Additionally, better leather breathes more, so you have less moisture in the foot from sweat, which reduces the incidence of blisters." So, if you're willing to invest some moolah in a quality pair of heels, take comfort in the fact that they'll most likely be less painful (and last longer!) down the road. ![]() "More rigid, 'plasticky' materials are less forgiving and will put more pressure on the forefoot causing more pain," says Dr. But if they're too loose, you will have more movement of the foot within the shoe when you're walking, and that will cause more rubbing and blisters due to excessive friction."Īnother pro tip: look for heels made from high-quality leather because it's a flexible material that'll conform to the shape of your foot better than synthetic stuff. "If your shoes are too small, they will feel too tight, and the pressure from the shoe against the toes in the forefoot will cause pain. Spoiler alert: it doesn't work! "Like with Goldilocks and the Three Bears, you want the shoe size to be 'just right,'" says Dr. Platforms put "less pressure on the forefoot when walking," heels with wider bases "provide more stability when walking and reduce risk of twisting the ankle," and open-toed designs, because they "don't apply that same pressure to the toes" as closed-toe styles often do.Īlso, you might be tempted to opt for a heel that's slightly larger than your normal size to avoid any blisters or rubbing, a la Meghan Markle and other celebs. Lee recommends seeking out certain features for as much comfort as possible. Lee, board-certified podiatric surgeon and chief of podiatric surgery at the UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, says some common injuries from wearing heels include ankle sprains, bunions, tailor's bunions, or hammertoes from narrow toe boxes, as well as metatarsalgia, which is essentially pain in the ball of your foot from the increased pressure. Ever want to take a pair of shoes off the second you put them on? Same. Heels can, quite literally, *elevate* any outfit (sorry, had to), but while they look stylish, wearing them often comes at a price: You have to sacrifice your precious toes, arches, and ankles, stock up on bandaids, and/or buy extra inserts to relieve the pain. ![]() These dissenters often presented themselves as the defenders of civil liberties, rejecting the heavy hand of the state to continue their vision of “the American way of life” and insisting that supposed scare tactics would have unanticipated and undesired effects on everything from long-term mental health to daily social cohesion.ĭissenters rarely acknowledged, however, that the COVID-19 pandemic was not the first historical instance in which modern states tried to mask their populaces. Library of Congressįor many of its detractors, the face mask was a symbol of new societal fears, overstated dangers of COVID-19, and an attempt to coercively bind the American people in the midst of an imagined crisis. Submission to the Library of Congress’s crowd-sourced project “COVID-19: American Experiences,” photograph by Desmond Johnson, October 2020. Beyond its practical value, the mask became a complicated symbol, one that could encompass broad concern for public health, a commitment to standing American political structures, and a reconciliation with a newly dangerous atmosphere. Nevertheless, social, cultural, and political divisions have led to various claims that the state’s recommendations were overly cautious and possibly authoritarian, with the face mask (in its various forms) serving as the central object of disagreement. In the United States, CDC guidelines on social distancing and masking have been carefully constructed to encourage public confidence and adherence. Others argue that fear-based messaging can create a sense of widespread fatalism or even societal panic.Įither way, the COVID-19 pandemic provides a distinct historical moment in which concerns over the way scientific issues are publicly conveyed and addressed by the state have become paramount. Some experts claim that fear proves highly motivational and that there is no way to avoid prognostication of a dangerous future. Opinions vary over the impact this kind of messaging has on the success of policies. ![]() And as future global climate and health crises loom, academic debates often center on the value of scare tactics-text and images that warn of an impending apocalypse. But then something shifted-safety regulations became politicized.įor scholars and policymakers, the politicization of the disease and its management has underscored many of the difficulties inherent to public health messaging. ![]() Schools and businesses shut down, face masks were ubiquitous, and, for a brief moment, it seemed as if public health messaging had prevailed. In the United States people hunkered down indoors, avoiding gatherings. Is fear a socially unifying emotion? During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic it certainly seemed that way. ![]() His roundups of new features in Windows 10 updates have been called "the most detailed, useful Windows version previews of anyone on the web" and covered by prominent Windows journalists like Paul Thurrott and Mary Jo Foley on TWiT's Windows Weekly.

Making one more loop around the backside of the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin began the descent toward a target altitude of 50,000 feet above the lunar surface. The next day, Armstrong and Aldrin bid Collins farewell, entered the lunar lander Eagle and undocked during the crew's 13th lunar orbit. on Saturday, July 19, the astronauts braked into orbit around the moon. Two hours and 50 minutes later, after checking out the spacecraft's myriad systems, flight controllers at NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center (now the Johnson Space Center) in Houston cleared the crew to restart the third stage engine and head for the moon. Strapped into the Apollo command module Columbia atop their huge Saturn 5 rocket, mission commander Neil Armstrong, lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin and command module pilot Mike Collins shot smoothly into Earth orbit. So I said OK, and off we went." Tensions high as Apollo 11 gets underwayĪpollo 11 finally got underway at 9:32 a.m. But there were a number - 1210, 1201, 1202, maybe one or two others - you had to make a choice. ![]() "Some of them, if they came up the computer was gonna stop. "There were not that many that we could do anything about," he said. He did not think it would ever be needed. Bales taped a copy to his flight console in the mission control center. "I didn't want somebody who could program it, I wanted somebody like Jack, who was one of the smartest guys I ever met, looking at what somebody else had done and tell you how it should work."Ī week later, Garman presented a list of codes and responses, written by hand on a single sheet of paper. "The MIT guys will probably tell you he couldn't program it, but who cares?" Bales said. I said Gene, I've got a gazillion things to do, I listed off two or three things, and he said I don't care what you say, get it done."īales called Garman and asked him to consult with the MIT engineers who developed the lunar module's software and come up with a "cheat sheet" defining what needed to be done in response to various alarm codes. "He said, I want you to go and add these (computer alarms) to your rules. ![]() "After the sim, we all unplugged, Gene said come up to console," Bales said in a recent interview with CBS News from his home near Philadelphia. Continuing with the descent was a much safer option than a low-altitude abort.īales, now 76 and long retired from NASA, recalls the simulation like it was yesterday. In fact, the lunar module was operating smoothly and only lower-priority items were failing to execute from time to time, triggering the alarms. Richard Koos, the simulation supervisor who added the computer alarms to the final test run, said the alarms in question were not mission critical. ![]() ![]() NASA almost didn't film the first moon landing 08:08īut as it turned out, the aborted landing was a godsend. ABORT!"Īstronaut Charlie Duke, the capsule communicator, or CAPCOM, responsible for relaying comments and instructions to the crew, turned to Kranz and asked, "We going to call an abort, Flight?" Kranz sharply replied, "Abort, CAPCOM, abort." Duke relayed the instructions and the crew executed an abort, carrying out the steps needed to jettison the descent stage and return to orbit. "Flight, Guidance," he called over his headset to Kranz. After still more alarms, Bales, seated on the right end of a string of consoles known as "The Trench," reached a decision. But something was clearly wrong, and there were no flight rules defining a procedure to correct the problem. Meanwhile, the lunar module was continuing its imaginary descent, and its systems seemed to be operating normally. The computer is busier than hell for some reason, it has run out of time to get all the work done." "Jack, what the hell is going on with those program alarms? Do you see anything wrong?" Kranz recalls Bales asking. |
