8/31/2023 0 Comments Wordpress macos![]() First, we need to change the user/group that PHP runs processes as. Once those are installed, let's set up PHP first. I use homebrew to install everything: brew install nginx mariadb If you're visiting from the future and there's a newer PHP version that works with WordPress, use that instead. Throughout this tutorial, I'll be using my username ( emerson) and path to my sites ( /Users/emerson/repos/sites/). I don't have a way to test that, although if you want to donate one to me. M1 Macs might behave or be configured differently.This tutorial is written and tested on Big Sur I'm reasonably confident that it will work on earlier versions as well.127.0.0.1 will always exist and be usable, so I use it. localhost might have IPv6, it might not, some programs might think it does when it doesn't. I use 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost because it's guaranteed to be there.It might also be another blog, not sure yet. ![]() SSL is left as an exercise for you, dear reader.I'm not going to walk you through how to download and install WordPress there's plenty of tutorials on that already.But we're doing this on a personal laptop, not a production server, so I prioritize convenience over security. Some parts of this setup are bad practice from a security standpoint.I've tried Docker, Local, and MAMP before, and the limitations and workarounds I have to use frustrate me, and I end up going back to this setup because I have total flexibility and control over how it works. As it turns out, once I knew how to use low-level programs, I realized that it's actually easier to configure and maintain my setup the way I want to do it, rather than the way other people make me use their tools. Secondly, I was a Linux sysadmin for about 3 years, running WordPress hosting. "But Em," I hear you say, "Why do all this low-level stuff when there are tools like Docker, LocalWP, MAMP, etc., that are way easier and more intuitive?" Today I'll show you how I set it up on a Mac. ![]() On both my Windows machine and MacBook, I use nginx, PHP, and MariaDB to serve my WordPress sites. However, I will occasionally use my Mac when I'm testing sites on Safari or an iOS emulator. Normally I use Windows because my Windows machine is more powerful and can drive two monitors, whereas my MacBook Air is the 13-inch 2017 model (that I bought last year because it's the last model with MagSafe power and a proper keyboard). I switch between Windows and macOS for developing WordPress sites.

8/31/2023 0 Comments Frostpunk 2 kinguin![]() Hope this helps some of you out there who are thinking about buying something from Kinguin, I know that some keys work but even then there is always a danger of the game being revoked from Steam later etc.ĮDIT 1 : Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, I did not expect this post to go straight to the top. I don't care about the money that they scammed me for so I'm not salty about that, it was maybe my last chance to buy Mafia II so now it looks like I'm just going to have to wait for Mafia III next year. I must admit that I knew nothing about Kinguin before, I am a regular Steam customer who likes to purchase games directly from Steam, but in the case of Mafia II I had no choice but to try and purchase the game elsewhere because the game is not sold anywhere else anymore. Btw I was being super nice in the first few conversations with them but I just lost my patience after everything. ![]() I have uploaded the very last conversation with their support so that everyone can see how they treat their customers. They instead asked for my Steam account username/password or to give them remote control over my PC via TeamViewer, even after I provided them with screenshots AND freshly recorded video clips where I show that the key doesn't work and every other proof that they asked for. I opened a support ticket on their website and after 5 conversations with their support agents over a 2 week period they refused to give me a replacement key or a refund. In short, I purchased Mafia II from their website for 30ish euro and they sent me a duplicate key that was already used. I wanted to serve as an example and warn everyone NOT to purchase anything through their website. 8/31/2023 0 Comments Compress videos![]() Free video compressor by Freemake will turn huge HD files into a smaller 720p or 1080p HD videos which you are able to upload to any video sharing service or device.

Boats were smashed to pieces, huge whales screamed with terror as they met their tragic end in a violent and foaming maelstrom. Many stories have been told about the Store Male, a maelstrom that dragged everything that came near it down to the bottom of the darkest depths. Because time was pushing me, I had to take a taxi.No smoke without fire. But don’t make a mistake like me and don’t be late for the bus. The bus to Saltstraumen is quite frequent. Maelstrom is located in a small strait Saltstraumen, which is only about 30 km from Bodø (see map below). There can be found an airport and a harbor, where a ferry to/from Lofoten Islands leaves several times a day.

And in advance, find out at what time Saltstraumen maelstrom will be the strongest (the difference can be huge).

Yanagihara’s classes, reflecting growing interest in Japanese cuisine beyond sushi, tempura, and sukiyaki. Lately, foreign visitors have been taking lessons in Mr. Yanagihara wants to accommodate them: “Now more people feel that meals made by using my grandfather’s recipes are rather salty, and they prefer more lightly seasoned meals that take full advantage of ingredients' innate flavors accompanied by proper Japanese dashi soup stock.” Yanagihara is open to making Japanese cuisine more modern, although “for Japanese cuisine, my father and grandfather’s generations used only Japanese traditional ingredients, even charcoal for cooking.” Now, Japanese cuisine and its fans benefit from the advantages of fresh food imported from all over the world and the latest innovations in cooking equipment.Īs Japanese tastes have become more sophisticated over the decades, Mr. ![]() Teaching traditional as well as contemporary Japanese cuisine in Japan and abroad He adds that “how well we savor food largely depends on our experience with it, so we can’t truly relish what we suddenly start eating if we are unaccustomed to it.” In his view, the Japanese diet can be sustained only through daily enjoyment of meals, mainly of gohan along with side dishes made with the most suitable seasonal ingredients. Yanagihara says, “My grandfather opened Yanagihara School because he felt that Japan’s fading dietary culture was in a state of crisis.” As Japan’s society, including its culture of home cooking, has changed with the incursion of Western cultures, he feels that “traditional diets can be sustained only if parents make traditional meals at home and children learn to appreciate their tastes.” In addition to such traditional fare, he favors a more modern meal of an omelet-style dish with delicious spring tomatoes and green peas. He combines such side dishes in wakatake sushi, a staple food containing young bamboo shoots and seaweed. So in spring, when warming seas enhance the taste of shelled seafood, he instructs others how to make broiled turban shells ( sazae) and marinated Japanese cockles. Yanagihara teaches recipes that vary by season. Japanese traditionally prepared meals featuring bonito for tango-no-sekku festivities celebrating boys’ healthy growth on May 5, and thin, white cold soumen noodles resembling the Milky Way of summer night skies for tanabata festivities on July 7.Īs Japanese seek seasonal foods for their typical diets, Mr. Yanagihara says that Japan’s cuisine ingeniously reflects its culture and seasons. Passing down the joys of seasonal Japanese cuisines and ingredients to the next generations Gohan, the essence of the homemade cuisines, is an indispensable food. The roles of yatai meals for casual, quick eating and ko-ryoriya meals for drinking differ from those of homemade meals that typically feature ichi-ju-san-sai (soup and rice bowls plus three side dishes) eaten at a dining table at home. ![]() Sushi and tempura are renowned representatives of Japanese cuisine, but they originated from the culture of yatai food stalls in the Edo period, and are not considered to be regular household dishes. So the ultimate home cooking is the essence of kaiseki cuisine.” People tend to think kaiseki is hard to deal with, but it was originally an expression of the spirit of hospitality through regular homemade food prepared with a little extra labor. He says, “ Kaiseki cuisines are for welcoming guests. Yanagihara teaches recipes and of concepts of cha-kaiseki. Gohan and miso soup go perfectly with okazu dishes cooked with such fermented seasonings as soy sauce, miso, sake, rice vinegar, and mirin sweetener that evoke the taste of rice. It’s no exaggeration to say that okazu, side dishes, are prepared to make gohan supremely palatable. Gohan, steamed rice, is the staple of the Japanese diet. Yanagihara) and his father, Kazunari, head this school founded by Naoyuki's grandfather, Toshio, to teach Japanese cuisine and cha-kaiseki ( kaiseki cuisine for tea ceremony) to keepers of ordinary households. “If someone asks me what the most essential Japanese food is, I answer that it’s steamed rice,” says Naoyuki Yanagihara of the Yanagihara School of Traditional Japanese Cuisine. 8/31/2023 0 Comments Ascended to heaven![]() So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God ( Mark 16:19). Here again we find the verb from Acts 1:2 in Mark 16:19. Hereafter you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven ( Matthew 26:64)Īlthough the long ending of Mark may not be original, it certainly reflects an ancient belief. This testified that Jesus ascended and remained in heaven.Įven though the gospel of Matthew does not speak of the ascension closing Christ's earthly ministry, it does allude to its result. Stephen saw Jesus at the right hand (place of authority) of God the Father. As he was dying by stoning, he looked up into heaven and saw Jesus.īut he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, 'Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!' ( Acts 7:55, 56). Stephen was the first believer put to death for his faith in Christ. Scripture provides further testimony that Jesus ascended to His rightful place next to the Father. ![]() And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven' ( Acts 1:9-11). Now when he had spoken these things, while they watched, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. The Bible testifies that Jesus ascended into heaven in full view of His disciples. Jesus Ascended In Full View Of His Disciples The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which he was taken up, after he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen ( Acts 1:1, 2). In the first chapter of the Book of Acts Luke records the following. Luke speaks of Jesus parting from them in a manner that assumes they were already familiar with the ascension account. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Now it came to pass, while he blessed them, that he was parted from them and carried up into heaven. The only New Testament writer to record the ascension was Luke. The Bible teaches that forty days after His resurrection, Jesus ascended into heaven both visibly and bodily. One of the most significant events in the life of Christ was His ascension into heaven. 8/31/2023 0 Comments Sookasa technical support

The world isn't physically getting smaller. With the increase of flows of capital, goods and people, as well as the advancements in technology and transport, our world is seemingly shrinking. But how exactly do we define time-space compression?Īs a result of globalisation, our world is becoming more interconnected. Time-space compression is just one of the many concepts used to explain our changing world. Examples include distance, location, scale, distribution etc. Spatial concepts help us to understand our relationships with places or objects. Time-space compression is a geographical spatial concept. But what exactly is the definition of time-space compression? What are the disadvantages of it? Is it important in today's world? Let's find out. These are textbook examples of the geographical theory of time-space compression. You can now call someone on the other side of the world in live time, rather than wait a week for a letter to find its way there. Now, you can take a commercial flight and be there within 24 hours.
