The company boasts over 900,000 loans and cash advances, providing over $15 billion in funding to businesses in need.Īccording to a separate press release, PayPal has also begun waiving some fees, deferring repayments on business loans, extending the window through which businesses must respond to customer disputes and doubling the amount of cash back rewards on purchases through the end of this month. The press release stated that PayPal has been working since 2013 to help SMBs, particularly ones owned by women or minorities, with loans and cash advances - so working with the SBA loans isn’t a new thing for the company. Schulman said he recognized how hard SMBs have been hit by the pandemic, and he said there is an urgent need for whatever help they could get to keep the lights on and pay employees during the shutdown. This development follows interest from a number of non-traditional institutions and applications, including others like Square, to help distribute the loans during the pandemic’s widespread financial uncertainty and troubles.ĭan Schulman, PayPal CEO, said in a press release that it is a “race” to help save jobs for the future. The government allotted $350 billion for that purpose as part of the recent $2 trillion federal CARES Act passed in March. ![]() The digital payments platform will now be able to give loans to SMBs that apply for loans under the Small Business Association’s (SBA’s) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). ![]() ![]() PayPal has become one of the first non-bank institutions allowed to distribute loans to help small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a press release. ![]() Maybe your app is about listening to Podcasts or Audiobooks.

Now many existing media apps will be available on HomePod, and it’s not just music. In addition, requests to "like" or "add" songs will work even for content that was AirPlayed without using Siri. Siri will rely on voice recognition to route requests to the device of the recognized Home user. Please note that on HomePod, requests to find or search for media will result in playback. Requests to Play, Add, and Affinity requests for the apps not natively supported on HomePod, will be routed to the primary iPhone. Later, I will talk about a few things that can make the user experience and performance even better. Siri requests to play media work with multiple destinations, including most speakers supporting AirPlay.Īny app supporting SiriKit Media Intents today will be able to use this capability with no additional changes. If I am in a living room talking to my speaker and my phone is charging in the bedroom, HomePod will successfully play. To fulfill the request, HomePod will be communicating with iPhone over Wi-Fi, which means that devices need to be on the same network at the time of the request.ĭevices don’t need to be in physical proximity.

The tea leaves used for matcha are cultivated differently from the tea leaves used to make normal green tea. Matcha powder is made by drying green tea leaves after steaming them, then grinding them into a very fine powder. The word ‘ matcha’ refers to both matcha powder and matcha tea. This is because my cookies have a checkerboard pattern as well as a swirl pattern, so after every step of shaping the dough to make the pattern, you need to chill the dough until it gets hard. You will not spend a lot of time actually working on the ingredients to make my Matcha Cookies, but the elapsed time is quite long. In the old days before the refrigerator was invented, people chilled food in an icebox and that’s where the name came from. These butter cookies are called Icebox Cookies because the cookie dough is chilled in the fridge to make it hard, then you slice it into thin pieces to bake. I used matcha powder instead of cocoa to convert it to this Matcha Cookies recipe. The original recipe was for cocoa cookies using cocoa powder mixed into the butter cookie dough. I based my Matcha Cookies on the recipe in my old Japanese cookbook that I bought 40 years ago. The slight bitterness from the matcha powder is surprisingly pleasant with the sweetness of the cookies. They are made with a butter cookie dough that is split in half to make Matcha flavoured dough and plain dough. My buttery and slightly crumbly Matcha Cookies come in a checkerboard pattern and a swirl pattern. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Walt whitman new eden![]() Entering as a private, George attained the rank of major by the time he mustered out in 1865. George often wrote to his mother and brothers while campaigning with the 51 st New York. Walt, however, seemed to idolize his younger brother, especially after George committed to going off to war to fight for the Union. Mother thought as I did-did not know what to make of it.” I saw the book-didn’t read it all-didn’t think it worth reading-fingered it a little. Years later, George explained that, “We were all at work-all except Walt. George never seemed impressed with older brother Walt’s literary ability or his seemingly deficient physical work ethic. George then learned carpentry from his father, building houses and working long hours in the family trade. Growing up, George Whitman received part of his formal education from his older brother. George Washington Whitman, 51st New York Infantry. When George’s brief enlistment ended, he joined the 51 st New York Infantry. George, still single at the time, enlisted in the 13 th New York Militia (a three-month unit) in the weeks following Fort Sumter, leaving Walt as the primary caregiver to their aging mother Louisa in Brooklyn. Younger brother George, born a decade later, was much closer to the age for service in the United States army. Walt Whitman, born in 1819, was in his forties when the American Civil War began. However, in the relationship between siblings Walt Whitman, and his younger brother George Washington Whitman, the older appeared to revere the younger, especially during the Civil War years. ![]() It was not until I came to realize that I had useful talents of my own that we truly became close. I know that, personally, although my older brother and I fought like cats and dogs growing up, a large part of the conflict was due to my petty jealousy of his abilities and successes. ![]() In many cases, the younger moves through childhood and into the teen years aspiring to be like the elder.

Some researchers have noted that it has similarities to herbal manuscripts of the time, which were used like medical reference books.

Wilfrid Voynich purchased a manuscript in 1912. It has been called the most-unreadable book in the world. It turns out that it exists and is considered one of history’s great mysteries.

The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, houses Yale University’s collection of precious manuscripts, historical ephemera, and rare books, including a Gutenberg Bible. For the first time, this facsimile, complete with elaborate folding sections, allows readers to explore this enigma in all its stunning detail, from its one-of-a-kind “Voynichese” text to its illustrations of otherworldly plants, unfamiliar constellations, and naked women swimming though fantastical tubes and green baths. The book’s language has eluded decipherment, and its elaborate illustrations remain as baffling as they are beautiful.

Don't place any unusual trust in my review, since the music you play and many other factors could net out the differences. 3) Those who won't hear the differences immediately, but who trust AudioQuest to put into the DAC what they say they put in. 2) Those with good enough hearing and experience to appreciate the differences. I also incorporate listening with the AudioQuest JitterBug in my sample music tracks below, but I'll recommend the DF Cobalt straightaway for these users:ġ) Perfectionists. The wrong headphone could change all that of course, which is why I give attention to adjusting the different headphones' frequency responses with a modicum of EQ. My overall impressions of the DF Cobalt are mainly the greater realism - the palpable sounds in the lower registers, resin-y bowing, and the fullness of voices and instruments that aren't the least bit exaggerated. It's jazz, and the sound is as good as they come - surprising for a live-in-studio recording, although in reading the liner notes one can appreciate how it was accomplished. The quality of the bass in this recording was noticeably better than with the DF Red, and the impact of the bass was more palpable, although I wouldn't describe the bass as "impactful" in the sense of many EDM recordings. at 352 khz or so, and then down-res'd to 44/24 WAV files for my 256 gb iPad Pro. My next listen was the album Carmen Gomes Sings The Blues, which was recorded in DSD etc. Some users might not hear the differences, but if they are practiced at evaluating DACs, they should pick up on these differences pretty quickly. ![]() But this time the DF Cobalt edged out the DF Red with a smoother yet detailed sound. I've always thought of the DF Red as a very smooth reproducer, particularly compared to the DF Black. I ended up playing the same 70 seconds 3 times with the DF Red, then repeated 3 with the DF Cobalt followed by 3 with the DF Red. ![]() That alone didn't seal the DF Cobalt deal though. Almost immediately my impression of the stereo image was that it's less open and full with the DF Red. AudioQuest included a DragonTail adapter (USB-A to USB-C) that connects the DragonFly to an Apple iPad Pro or various Android devices, and that was the added touch that gave the purchase even more value.Ĭomparing the DF Cobalt to the DF Red, and feeding 44 khz WAV tracks from my iPad Pro 11-inch to the DragonFlys, I played the first 70 seconds of Steven Wilson's Luminol (at the 44/24 data rate) playing the DF Cobalt first (3 times), then the DF Red second. But $300 USD is not a stretch for something significantly better than the DF Red, as long as it meets that goal, which I believe it does. I understood from various conversations that there was a bit of angst about the price - 50 percent higher than the DragonFly Red, which was and is a great little DAC/amp for mobile devices. When I got word of the new DragonFly Cobalt, I hesitated - about three seconds - then I went for the phone and called TTVJ to get one.

Select-String command to be precise: PS> Get-Help Select-String. In it he says, ' If there is one Unix command I would love to have in PowerShell, it is the grep command with its regular expression support. Theres a LOT more to it but my own common usage of it is: cat. Dustin Marx has a blog entry where he compares Unix/Linux, PowerShell and DOS commands. The pipeline operator ( ) passes the data to the Format-List cmdlet, which displays all. What you see when you make your call is the default view of a subset of properties of the object, which is not all of the properties available. Case Study: Grasping Output with PowerShell Grep A developer seeks assistance on StackOverflow, befuddled by PowerShells select-string behavior. It uses the Name parameter to specify the processes, but it omits the optional parameter name. To explain what is occurring, PowerShell returns Objects rather than plain text which to put simply means they are like mini databases with properties that can be returned/filtered etc. This command gets all available data about the Winword and Explorer processes on the computer. Related: How to use PowerShell’s Grep (Select-String) Since the pattern you’re looking for is in a file, you’ll first need to read that file and then look for a regex match. Grep is basically a utility that lets you filter some data using various patterns. Get-Process winword, explorer Format-List. $response = Read-Host -Prompt "Set the archive bit on this file?" Select-String is a PowerShell cmdlet that allows you to provide a regular expression pattern and return a string that matches that pattern. $files = Select-String -Path "d:\script\*.txt" -Pattern $pattern Here is an example that greps for a string and uses the results in a loop to determine if some action should be taken: $pattern = "tachytelic" Then you can simply pipe to Select-String like this:Ĭat "D:\Script\Lorem-Ipsum.txt" |grep "tachytelic" Loop through results from Select-String Set-Alias -Name grep -Value Select-String If you want to make it more like Unix/Linux, add an alias to the Select-String cmdlet: Get-Content "D:\Script\Lorem-Ipsum.txt" |Select-String "tachytelic" In its basic form, we use the grep command to search strings in files and grep prints lines that match. In the following section, we will go through a number of examples to learn the grep command. txt -First 1 > output.txt Edit Nov 2018: According to the docs, 'The TotalCount parameter limits the retrieval to the first n lines.' This appears to minimize resource usage. Second, grep can be used to filter the output of another command. Just like grep, you can pipe to Select-String like this: First, grep can be used to search strings on one or more files. c: Uses specified text as a literal search string /i Specifies that the search is not to be case-sensitive.abc Files of type abc. abc I have used: /s for searching all subfolders. Get-ChildItem -Path "D:\Script\*.txt" -Recurse | Select-String -Pattern 'tachytelic' Piping to Select-String The following findstr.exe command almost does what I want, but not quite. Unlike grep, Select-String does not have the ability to search recursively, but you can pipe output to it from Get-ChildItem, like this: Select-String -Path "D:\script\*.txt" -Pattern 'Tachytelic' Grep Recursively with Get-Childitem Select-String -Path "D:\script\Lorem-Ipsum.txt" -Pattern 'Tachytelic' To grep a simple text file is as easy as: ![]() PowerShell brings the functionality of grep with the Select-String cmdlet.
