Review compare tidal vs spotify8/21/2023 ![]() During their 2021 Stream On event, Spotify disclosed the coming of a new HiFi plan later this year. Deezer offers 1411 kbps CD-quality audio, whereas Spotify’s highest overall audio quality setting is capped at 320 kbps. The most obvious difference is Deezer’s HiFi feature and Spotify’s lack thereof. While Spotify and Deezer have quite a bit in common, there are also key differences to take note of when choosing between the two services: Additional HiFi tier Family plans have an option to create profiles for kids.Premium plans on both platforms have the following features in common: No separate plan, just a 50% discount on Deezer Premium.ĭeezer HiFi is incorporated into Premium and Family plans. Here’s a quick overview of how much each of those plans cost: Spotify and Deezer have almost identical subscription and pricing schemes. Pricing & Plans Coupons for Spotify Premium (From: Unsplash). Read our extensive review on Deezer to learn more about its features. However, its user base is significantly smaller at just 16 million active users compared to Spotify’s 406 million.ĭeezer is currently home to 90 million music tracks, 160,000 podcast titles, and over 32,000+ radio stations. Deezer also launched in several countries across Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East during this time.Īs of July 2021, Deezer is available in 188 countries. It partnered with French telecom service Orange S.A., which further drove up new subscriptions to the app. It was during this time that Deezer debuted its new subscription scheme, including new desktop and mobile apps. It was developed by Daniel Marhely and Jonathan Benassaya after an earlier version of the app (Blogmusik) was shut down in 2006 due to copyright issues.ĭeezer subsequently saw rapid growth and expansion between 20. Deezer Deezer Logoĭeezer is a French music streaming service that debuted in August 2007. I like both, but for different reasons.Check out our in-depth Spotify review to read more about this service. So, to summarise: TIDAL for a quick engaging fix of music, Qobuz for all day relaxing listening. I can listen to Qobuz all day long and enjoy having the music in the background. The music doesn’t distract me while I’m working. ![]() There isn’t the emotional pull from the music that I get with TIDAL. ![]() However, the sound from Qobuz is like velvet, it’s like honey. Coming from TIDAL the UI is all over the place, there’s a distinct lack of useful suggestions and I find it difficult to find songs that I like. Qobuz as a desktop app is hard work, to be honest. TIDAL’s management of the DAP’s filesystem for offline content appears to be a lot better than Qobuz so there’s far less lag in my DAP. The space saved on my micro-SD card for large offline TIDAL playlists is substantial. MQA works really well for me for offline listening on my DAP. Having said that, it can become fatiguing after a while. In fact, it’s engaging to the point of distraction if I am streaming TIDAL all day in the background while I work. Ignoring MQA for a moment, TIDAL FLACs deliver a really engaging sound. TIDAL is a long way ahead in terms of songs availability for the genres that I like (library), suggestions (Track Radio, Masters Track Radio, Artist Radio, Producer Mix, My Mixes, My Daily Discovery) and UI. I’m running both in parallel at the moment and they both have a place for me with each one having pros and cons.

Font xplorer x8/21/2023 Bummer Did you also clear all the old font caches. Rightfont wasn't bad during my trial, but I went with Fusion mostly because of the licensing with many other features being equal. Shutting off Linotype FontExplorer X resolves the Helvetica problem in Firefox. More expensive than Rightfont (but with RIghtfont you only get 1 computer per license).You can't create subsets within Google Web Fonts or Typekit. FontExplorer X by Monotype has provided you with many years of sophisticated font management.No auto-activation for Sketch or Affinity.It has per-user licensing for up to 2 machines (I think that's the limit), and it has a cloud font storage thing included for free.It's pretty easy to organize with sets and sub-sets.In a big (or small) graphics house, this is important. I use Font Explorer X for organizing different fonts for different client and. One major feature I miss, however, is creating a set on one Mac, then transferring just the set info to another Mac.

Mint leaf8/21/2023 ![]() Table 2 lists the main compounds isolated from different species of this genus.Įpi-bicyclosesquiphellandrene, 1,8-cineole, menthofuran, β-caryophyllene, limonene, p-menthone, β-pinene, germacrene D, α-pinene, α-humulene, δ-cadinene, caryophyllene oxide, viridiflorol, viridiflorol epoxide II, α-cadinol, β-bisabolenol, α-trans-bergamotene, p-cymene, borneol, sabinene, β-myrcene, terpinyl acetate, eucalyptol Menthol, menthone, isomenthone, menthyl acetate, linalool, linalyl acetate, lippione, pulegone, carvone, piperitenone oxide and cis-piperitone epoxide are the main constituents of essential oils prepared from different mint species. They are colorless, pale yellow or greenish yellow and alcohols, ketones, esters, ethers and oxides are their main components in Mentha species. With regard to mint compositions, the essential oils represent a major focus. Flavonoids including luteolin and its derivatives apigenin, acacetin, diosmin, salvigenin and thymonin, have also been detected in these plants, accounting for some 10–70 compounds out of the total phenolics, and also flavanols such as catechin, epicatechin and coumarins, including esculetin and scopoletin. Mentha species are rich in polyphenols and, moreover, contain caffeic acid and its derivatives caftaric acid, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and oleanolic acid. Among the plants with global economic and culinary importance, mint is used worldwide for perfuming sweet and savoury dishes and flavouring tea, in addition to its pharmacological importance. Moreover, some of the aforementioned plant-derived compounds have pleasant taste and odor and can be used in kitchen as flavorings, spices and food. Anticancer drugs, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, immunomodulators are among the most important drugs having herbal origin. In addition, due to contraindications in the usage of chemical drugs, there is a growing interest in the utilization of the plant-derived medicinal products, since compared to synthetic drugs some of these natural products have lower toxicity and higher efficacy. In many developing countries, plant materials have an important role in primary care or disease treatment. Most synthetic bioactive drugs are structurally similar to the phytochemicals of plants from which they were firstly isolated. Today, more than 30% of all medicinal drugs (and their derivatives and analogs) derive from plants, and natural products will continue to possess considerable impact in human medicine. The use of plants in medicine dates back to 60,000 years ago, before the birth of civilization. ![]() Medicinal plants and their derived compounds (phytochemicals) have been considered of pharmacological significance since ancient times. The current review highlights the antimicrobial role of mint-derived compounds and essential oils with a special emphasis on anticancer activities, clinical data and adverse effects displayed by such versatile plants. Essential oils from mint have also been found to exert antibacterial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and many others. Mint essential oils show a great cytotoxicity potential, by modulating MAPK and PI3k/Akt pathways they also induce apoptosis, suppress invasion and migration potential of cancer cells lines along with cell cycle arrest, upregulation of Bax and p53 genes, modulation of TNF, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-8, and induction of senescence phenotype. Phytochemicals derived from mint also showed anticancer activity against different types of human cancers such as cervix, lung, breast and many others. Mentha species are widely used in savory dishes, food, beverages, and confectionary products. Among medicinal plants, mint ( Mentha species) exhibits multiple health beneficial properties, such as prevention from cancer development and anti-obesity, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and cardioprotective effects, as a result of its antioxidant potential, combined with low toxicity and high efficacy. Medicinal plants and their derived compounds have drawn the attention of researchers due to their considerable impact on human health.

Ecto mesomorph body type female8/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Research on Judokas and recreational trainees finds mesomorphy correlates positively with strength and power and ectomorphy correlates negatively, as you’d expect based on somatotyping theory, but ectomorphy seems to define elite Taekwondo skill rather than mesomorphy.There’s a lot of research on this and it’s very conflicted. ![]() If we make the best gains in fitness on the type of training we’re most gifted for, and our somatotype influences what we’re good at, we should find out which type of exercise our somatotype is best for. However, there’s probably also a genetic component, as other research finds we make better gains when strength training with a volume and intensity that suits our genotype. If you’re terrible at running marathons yet excel at sprinting, you probably prefer sprinting. This is probably in part motivational: we like things we are good at more and therefore put more effort into them. The same performance measures that are positively influenced by our somatotype also seem to result in increased trainability. For example, mesomorphy was associated with the greatest improvements in sprinting speed, whereas ectomorphy was associated with the greatest improvements in aerobic fitness (‘endurance’). Somatotype significantly influenced the gains in performance measures. We also have a study where children were divided into 3 groups: strength training, endurance training or no training. Generally speaking, the longer your ring finger and the shorter your index finger, the more masculine and athletic you’re likely to be. The ratio of our finger lengths can even predict to some degree our sexual preferences, how likely it is that someone’s homosexual (intermediate ratio to men and women), and how likely a lesbian is to be ‘butch’ or ‘femme’. Our 2D:4D ratio correlates with how much testosterone we were exposed to in the womb, which influences many things. For example, the 2D:4D ratio predicts sumo wrestlers’ rank and can discriminate between recreational and world-class wrestlers. In some cases, science is stranger than fiction: a ton of research shows the ratio of the length of our index-to-ring finger (2D:4D ratio) is associated with our athletic success. already provided hard data that individuals with a solid body build gain more muscle during strength training than individuals with a slender body build. However, all the way back in 1994, Van Etten et al. In some fitness communities, the idea that your body structure says anything about the physiology of your muscles or body in general is regarded as utter pseudoscience. What does your body type tell you about how to work out? Many people fall somewhere in the middle, but you probably have a good idea of your primary type. You can get a good idea of your primary body type simply by looking in the mirror: is your body shape tall and slender (ecto), round and thick (endo) or aesthetic and athletic (meso)? Many studies even go by photos rather than physical measurements in person. Unless you’re an exercise scientist, there’s no need for this level of detail. This requires measuring various body dimensions with a measurement tape and mathematical formulas to compute the 3 dimensions. The most established somatotyping method is the Heath-Carter method. What’s your somatotype: endomorph, ectomorph or mesomorph? What does your somatotype tell you about how you should work out and diet? Let’s look at the science of somatotyping. The 3 body type dimensions are named after the 3 layers of germ during our embryonic development: the inner endoderm develops primarily into our gut the middle mesoderm develops primarily into our muscles, and the outer ectoderm develops into other things like our skin and hair. Mesomorphs have the best of both worlds.Ectomorphs are tall and skinny hardgainers that effortlessly get ripped but have a hard time putting on muscle.Endomorphs are bulky: they have an easy time gaining muscle and strength but a hard time losing fat.Popular fitness wisdom holds that your primary body type dictates what you’re gifted at and possibly also how you should work out and diet. Other scientists of course quickly discredited these ideas, but exercise scientists picked up on the classification. Sheldon’s original works tried to connect our somatotype to our personality and some Nazi-like ideas of human worth. He found that our structure can be summarized on 3 dimensions: endomorphy, ectomorphy and mesomorphy. In the 1940s, psychologist William Herbert Sheldon used thousands of photos of naked Ivy League students without their consent to create a classification of the human body shape.

The eventual exposure of blood that is promised by the film’s title is sinister, but what is perhaps more brooding is the fact that violence has defined the entire film, just not always explicitly. Faith, family, and morality are all abandoned in varying ways in the obsessive pursuit of oil. In a similar tone, shortly before his gruesome fate, Eli follows Daniel Plainview’s cruel demand that he identifies himself as a “ false prophet” and denounces his religion, hoping they can conduct business together afterward. ![]() Not only does oil displace blood as a sign of both vitality and violence, but it inspires indulgence as Daniel triumphantly claims to “ drink the blood of Lamb” – seeking basic nourishment from the biblical symbol of Jesus’s sacrifice to eradicate sin. Blood has finally been shed, as is indicated by the title, yet its awaited presence is undermined by the violence that has been consistently underlying the film’s commentary on themes of self-interest, capitalism, and religion. Blood spills from Eli’s head onto the polished wooden floor and, following Daniel’s exclamation that he is “ finished,” the title “ There Will Be Blood” is displayed on the screen to initiate the credits. The film’s final moments truly fulfill the title’s promise, with Daniel brutally killing the preacher Eli Sunday (played by The Batman's Paul Dano), theatrically hitting him with a bowling pin. Daniel is a malicious and brutal central character, yet There Will Be Blood only explicitly enacts the violence that its title suggests in brief moments. He frequently spikes H.W.’s milk and even sends him away when an oil derrick accident causes the child to become deaf. to promote his business as a “ family enterprise,” but Daniel is clearly more of an “ oilman” than a family man. Loosely based on the Upton Sinclair novel Oil, the story follows and oil prospector named Daniel Plainview who attempts to buy up a small California town and. He travels with his adopted son, H.W., whose father dies working at Daniel’s first oil well. While the adaptation deviates from the narrative of Sinclair’s book, it does share its setting: the Southern California oil boom at the turn of the 20th century.ĭaniel Day-Lewis stars in There Will Be Blood as prospector Daniel Plainview, who shifts the focus of his search from silver to oil. ![]() ![]() The film, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is inspired by the novel Oil! by Upton Sinclair. The title of There Will Be Blood gives an explicit promise of gore, yet blood is absent for almost the entire movie. AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
