![]() should coordinate portfolios with other countries and non-government vaccine accelerators, such as the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). Given the breadth of pathogens of concern, the U.S. must invest in a portfolio for a range of pathogens with pandemic potential This plan is necessary but insufficient because it is specific to COVID. This is the thrust of Biden’s $5 billion Next Gen initiative to develop more durable and variant-proof vaccines and therapeutics. must continue to invest in basic virology, immunology, and vaccinology for pathogens with pandemic potential. Absent these scientific advances, Warp Speed would not have been able to achieve such a rapid delivery date. In 2020, pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Moderna reaped the reward of years of coronavirus research, mRNA delivery platforms, and protein stabilization techniques. became a front runner in the global race for a vaccine in no small part due to robust public support for science, which is a legacy of Vannevar Bush, the director of scientific research and development during the Second World War, and his vision for postwar America. We cannot assume that a warp speed-like program will work again in the same way with a different pathogen.Ĭrash programs can apply new science, but they do not generate it. The U.S. It is important to learn the right lessons going forward. Warp Speed demonstrated what government can do, but it was time-limited and COVID-specific. It committed to parallel procurement at risk and supported clinical trials, manufacturing, supply chains, and distribution to get vaccines across the finish line. ![]() It gave competent leaders an enormous budget, political cover, and interagency authority. Warp Speed harnessed the full power of the federal government. It was a galvanizing moment when everyone stepped outside of what was expected to do what was required. The FDA authorized two vaccines for use in 11 months–a tenth of the average development time for a new vaccine. Some might ask: “Why? Look at what we did with Operation Warp Speed.” That program was a stunning success. must build a pipeline that can deliver the medicine we need when we need it. Pandemic preparedness requires the type of investment that affords a wartime readiness posture.ĭuring the upcoming period of “peacetime preparedness,” one issue demands sustained focus: The U.S. Governments may not think of pandemics as a security issue, but a problem that kills millions, costs trillions, crosses borders, and erodes the custodial function of the state is the definition of a security issue. As the title suggests, the report compares fighting a pandemic to fighting a war. ![]() How to Set up Related Products in WooCommerce If there’s a conflict with the related products section, you can remove it.Īdditionally, if your product page is cluttered or has too many related products, you can either display fewer items or remove the section altogether.īefore showing you how to remove them, let’s see how to set up related products in WooCommerce. ![]() On top of that, sometimes the CSS code from some themes or plugins can break your website or parts of it. Additionally, if your theme doesn’t perform well with the related products section, you may need to remove it from your store. For example, if you only sell a few products that aren’t related, you may not want to display them. If related products help us boost our sales, why would we want to remove them? There are several situations in which you might want to hide the related products in WooCommerce. Why Remove Related Products in WooCommerce? For example, products related to a phone might be headphones, phone cases, camera accessories, and so on. They usually appear at the bottom of your product pages and they help your business increase sales and revenue. In WooCommerce, related products are recommendations that are related to the product the shopper is viewing and tend to complement the main item. What Are Related Products?Īs their name suggests, related products are products that are somehow linked to another item. In this article, we will show you different ways to remove related products in WooCommerce. Are you looking for a simple way to hide related products in your store? We’ve got something for you. ![]() Programmers - the musical, not the software sort - are sometimes handed tapes or CDs of a track or an album and asked to recreate it for a live performance. If you're a professional, you can also use ear training to improve your earning power. At its simplest, being able to follow someone else's music note‑for‑note is pretty damn impressive, especially when you suddenly find you can play it yourself. You'll hear details and relationships you weren't aware of before. With a trained ear, a mush of chords, backing and vocals snaps into sharper focus. If you make music for fun, ear training can give you a better appreciation of how music works and how it's put together. And if you do, the new skills you acquire will pay you back in spades. You can make a similar investment in your ability to listen. What not so many people realise is that making music happen is only half the story. Anyone knows that learning to play music - or, if you're a synth and sequencer fan, learning to program music - requires a big investment in time and enthusiasm. Unless you're classically trained or ridiculously talented from birth, the chances are good that your ears aren't used to listening to things and picking them apart. ![]() But the chord sequencing option comes closest to teaching you how to listen closely to real music and pick it apart.īut exactly how good are your ears? It's a fact of life that having a good musical ear makes for easier and more creative music‑making. When it comes to ear training, this is not the pick of the crop. If you like listening to it, you like music, and you have some form of musical ability, even if it's more passive (receptive) than active, as in a great songwriter or composer. The simple truth is that if you like listening to music, you're musical it doesn't matter if it's Radio One or Classic FM, the Spice Girls or some obscure academic composer most people have never heard of. Push them a little and it inevitably turns out that they have huge CD collections, or that they couldn't imagine life without music from the radio. I'm perpetually amazed by the number of people I meet who say 'Oh, I'm not at all musical' when I tell them I make music. Richard Leon explains the skills involved, and rounds up some software which can help you improve in this area. Ear training - learning to intuitively recognise note intervals, chords and progressions, and even absolute pitches - is something that many musicians could benefit from, although few actually attempt it. ![]() ![]() The other project / community that I looked at a bit is and the associated project. And since we are using git and markdown as our underlying infrastructure we can complement it with other open source tools if we want to, and migrate away in the future if a better platform surfaces. Just to clear it up, although gitbook run a hosted service, "The GitBook toolchain is open source and completely free, the source code of the tool is available on GitHub." (from ) so it seems like an appropriate tool for us. Is this too onerous? It wil definitley discourage some drive by edits I suspect, and it would be great to see if we can put together a simpler process. Submit a pull request back to the main repo Make the at using their nice web-based gitbook interface Right now we could ask them to use the gitbook interface But I am not sure yet what the best option is for a simple UI for the drive by editors. These people will probably want to take advantage of desktop editors and so on, and might be branching and merging in git.įor better or worse, the vast majority of people in our current documentation community fit into this second category and I think they will be well served by this move since they will have a lot of options to choose from (both desktop and web-based). Large and ongoing edits by power editors. Or more generally, how can we make it as easy as possible for people to contribute to documentation? I think we have two broad types of editors that we want to encourage.ĭrive by edits from people who want to quickly make a correction or add some missing info - these people want a simple login to a web based interface. What about the user friendly editor interface? I think the obvious approach is for each extension to get its own repository which can then be registered somehow on so we can create a library of extension documentation. Anyone have experience of similar documentation projects and how they do their translations? ![]() I suspect that they have a fairly well developed procedure for handling the translation and updates of their documentation that we could learn from. Symfony also store their documentation in github and have parallel repositories for each language e.g. Some areas we need to think through some more, with some initial thoughts: Each part of the book is a directory and each of the chapters in that part are files in that directory. You can see the source code that creates this book here. It is an alpha - lots to neaten up and lots of details to work out, but a good starting point for discussion. You can see the result here: (this link will likely stop working once we find it a proper home). I wrote a simple script that takes output from booki (our current tool) and turns it into something suitable for gitbook. Gitbook "Modern book format and toolchain using Git and Markdown" seemed to tick a lot of boxes and so (while waiting for my plane at Denver airport) I thought I would take advantage of the free wifi and give it a test drive. Uses widely used standards that will outlive any particular platform choices we makeįollowing a few different conversations at different sprints over the years we grew fond of the idea of markdown stored in a git repository as a solid base that will help us meet many of the above requirements and started to look for a set of open source tools that would allow us to do this.

We always hate it when we get an email from a customer who had a still damaged while it was in storage because it fell off of an 8' shelf (it has happened). Store the still in a location where it won't be dropped or otherwise damaged. After the still is completely dry, store it in a dry safe location. Dry thoroughly and store in a cool, dry environment.Īfter a still is cleaned it needs to be dried. A still should be dried with clean rags and then tilted upside down to allow any remaining water to drain.Dump the water out and then rinse it one more time with clean water.Fill the still with 1/2 gallon of clean water and scrub the still with a scrubbing brush. ![]() Put on gloves again and dump the leftover wash out.

Scrub the still once more with a scrubbing brush and dump the water out one last time. For info on cleaning the outside, read our article on How to Clean a Copper Still. ![]() Dump the water out and fill the still one more time with clean water. It will be HOT- we recommend using heat resistant gloves.Īfter dumping the vinegar, fill the still with PBW, let is soak, then scrub the copper still with a toilet cleaning brush (one that is new and only for stills!). After boiling the vinegar for an hour, carefully dump out the the vinegar. To clean the inside of a still, fill the boiler with a gallon of white vinegar, attach the column, and boil for about an hour. Essential oil distilling is a fun and rewarding hobby.Before using our brewing and distilling equipment for the first time, it will need to be thoroughly cleaned. After assembly, the equipment is going to have a lot of flux and bits of solder that need to be removed. The essential oil distillers are built to last and will produce quality hand crafted batches of essential oils. The essential oil will create a layer on top of the water and the water will have oil mixed into the water called hydrosol. The liquid will have hydrosol and essential oil. The water boils with plant material and the vapor boils off the water plant mixture then goes through a condenser that turns the vapor back to a liquid. Hydro distilling is placing the plant material directly in the water in boiler of the essential oil distiller. There will be hydrosol and a layer of essential oils. The hot steam vapor collects oils as it passes through the plant material then the vapor condenses back to a liquid and then can separated. This is very forgiving way to extract plant oils from an essential oil distiller. Steam extraction is where the plant material sits above the boiler in a basket and water is heated below the plant material so the vapor rises up through the plant material removing essential oils. There are several different processes to extract oils from plants. Essential oil distillers are used to extract plant oils from plant material. Rolimon's Item Checker Scamįake Rolimon's websites claim to have an "Item Checker" or "Poison Checker", which supposedly checks if a Roblox item is stolen.

Anyways, you can always reach me on Twitter to discuss Japanese stuff.Beware of fake Rolimon's websites and other scams which attempt to steal your Roblox account. It's definitely something worthy to ponder. Moreover, there's definitely some lingering issue with how the company behind Roblox is hoarding most of the cash generated from this fan-made content. I'm still a bit worried regarding all the various copyright issues that can stem from these games though. It's interesting to see A Universal Time is so popular. So most fans are at the very least above 20. More importantly, the series is over 30 years old now.įurthermore, the new anime by David Production started nearly ten years ago. JoJo did start as a shonen series, but it's always been more mature and kind of Seinen. Personaly, I'm surprised a JoJo game is so popular on Roblox, which has mainly a kids audience.
