In the sub directory test, you will see many examples for those options, and you can learn the usages from those examples.Ĭlick to learn the Features of PDF Compressor Command. You can learn those options by inputting the command pdftoolbox without any option and argument. PDF Compressor Command has more functions besides compressing PDF. The commands are pdftoolbox compressed.pdf -outfile uncompressed.pdf -unpack If you compress multiple items at once, the compressed file is called Archive.zip. If you compress a single item, the compressed file has the name of the original item with the. If you want to restore the compressed PDF, you can use option -unpack to unpack the PDF and recovery it to the original status. On your Mac, do any of the following: Compress a file or folder: Control-click it or tap it using two fingers, then choose Compress from the shortcut menu. Though compressed PDF is smaller than before, a compressed PDF might costs more time to open it. If you did not add the path of the program to the environment variables, you have to give the full path of the program to run it in the terminal. Option -pack is to tell the program to pack (compress) the stream objects of the PDF. Open a terminal in you Linux and you can run the program by calling the executable file pdftoolbox.Ī command to compress the stream objects of a PDF is like that following, pdftoolbox in.pdf -outfile out.pdf -packĮnter the commands, and the program pdftoolbox will compress the PDF in.pdf and save the new PDF as out.pdf. The executable file is in the sub directory bin. Preview lets you to compress your any PDF files without losing quality. After downloading the package, you can unpack the package to any place in your Linux system.

Throwing his arm around Chris’ shoulders, he launched them both over the edge. Reluctantly, he allowed his friend to drag him away, only to twist and stagger at the final moment. Jim paused and looked down at his mother and she pressed her lips into a taut smile, grateful for the apology that flickered through his eyes. Jimmy was laughing as Chris tried to coax him back, meeting the jeers of the crowd with an irreverent finger. Now.īefore she could move to cut the music the figure took a few nimble steps and extended a long, brown arm across Jimmy’s chest.Īt once her body relaxed, the relief so acute she felt lightheaded. It would kill Jimmy, but the party had to end. God forbid the kids take it into their heads to all start jumping. She looked up to see a dark figure climbing up the guttering and her hand flew to her throat. Had left her as she was now, a single mom standing in her trashed backyard on the verge of a mental breakdown. Times when your brain stopped working and the only thing you could remember to do was breathe.Ī single drunk driver, a careless stranger in the night, had stolen the life they’d snatched up in their enthusiasm and claimed as their right. He too would be faced with moments like this, when everything seemed too hard, too relentlessly unfair. The trembling anticipation, the easy assumption that everything would work out fine, because it always did. It was so long ago, but she was still young enough to remember what it felt like to have her whole life before her, as Jimmy did now. With a pang, she realized he was the age Ryan had been when they first met, and only a year younger than when they’d learned they were going to be parents. Golden hair slicked back and shoulders rippling from a season of training, they could have been brothers. He was as dark as Jimmy was fair, and as Elle looked upwards once more she was struck by how much her son resembled his father. Chris dragged his gaze down from the roofline and caught her eye, before turning back to his date. For years he’d been the perpetual shadow at her son’s side, reproving him when he’d gone too far, or encouraging him when he hadn’t tried hard enough. The serious other half to Jimmy’s levity, Chris McKenzie was too preoccupied worrying about Jim to enjoy himself. Behind them she spotted her son’s best friend Chris talking to a small, pinch-faced girl who was sloshing her drink around in an effort to hold his attention. The outdoor dining set had been submerged, a group of bikini-clad girls sitting waist-deep and laughing at the gyrating boys above them. Elle had been so naive, thinking it would be just like Jimmy’s 16 th, but those two short years had made all the difference.Įlle stood at the corner of the pool. It had been a big mistake to decline the Davis’ offer to help chaperone. None of the kids were overly wild, there were just so many of them. Everywhere, the ground was littered with crumpled cups and paper plates, her “fairy food” ravaged within thirty seconds of the doors bursting open. He wasn’t a child anymore, and she’d wanted to show him that she understood that.īut she’d never intended to host Oktoberfest. Faced with his palpable humiliation she’d reluctantly agreed to the beer. The table laden with his favorite cream and jelly rolls, cupcakes and hotdogs hadn’t helped either her attempts at mothering taken as sabotage, like she’d wanted to make him look silly in front of his friends. They were the first words he’d spoken in hours, furious at her for festooning the house with colorful balloons and streamers. “Despite your best efforts, it’s the party of the season.” “Word’s out on The Face, Mom.” He didn’t even have the grace to look chagrined, smiling at a group of girls as they sauntered up the porch steps. Instead he’d shrugged and made an obscure comment about social media. Jimmy had promised a “gathering” of his lacrosse team and a few of their girlfriends, so when the entire senior year turned up she’d gripped his arm and demanded that he send them home. The kids went wild but Elle suffered an entirely different form of hysteria, her heart catapulting into her throat. She stood, frozen, as he dangled his foot into the abyss and pretended to totter and fall. Elle had watched her son leap plenty of times, but never with a plastic beer cup in hand and a hundred screaming teens cheering him on. The chant morphed into a roar as Jimmy stepped to the edge of the roof and peered into the pool. The measure also overhauls the nation's permitting laws and specifically approves the remaining permits on a West Virginia natural gas pipeline championed by Democratic Sen. Under the agreement, domestic, non-defense spending would be kept roughly flat for 2024, and in 2025, the bill allows a limited increase of 1%.

Biden, with some members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus threatening to call a vote to oust McCarthy from the speakership over the deal. "For the first time ever, as a result of the strategic nature of this speaker, we're in a situation where we have legislation before us that will result in the greatest savings in American history."Ĭonservative House Republicans objected to the deal brokered by McCarthy and Mr. "It is absolutely historic," Graves said on the House floor ahead of the vote. Garret Graves, one of the Republicans who negotiated the deal with the White House, expressed frustration that the nation has accumulated so much debt, but touted the bill's "historic" savings and urged his colleagues to pass the legislation. "The question that remains right now is what will the House Republican majority do? It appears that you may have lost control of the floor of the House of Representatives," Jeffries said ahead of the vote. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats will "continue to do what is necessary" to "build an economy that works for everyday Americans," but blasted Republican leadership for not being able to keep their party in lock step.

Ahead of the final vote, Republican and Democratic members urged the bill's passage, while recognizing they didn't get everything they wanted. More than 50 Democrats ended up supporting the rule, clearing the way for a vote on final passage later in the evening. I want to thank Speaker McCarthy and his team for negotiating in good faith, as well as Leader Jeffries for his leadership."Įarlier Wednesday, a rule to move the bill forward briefly appeared in danger of failing, with nearly 30 Republicans voting against it. "This budget agreement is a bipartisan compromise. "Tonight, the House took a critical step forward to prevent a first-ever default and protect our country's hard-earned and historic economic recovery," Mr. President Biden called the bill "good news for the American people and the American economy," and urged the Senate to take up the legislation as soon as possible. Among Republicans, 149 voted for the bill and 71 voted against it, while 165 Democrats voted for the legislation and 46 voted against it. Suspend seems to be really unstable, so using that is not likely to be a good answer for me.Washington - The House voted late Wednesday to approve legislation to suspend the debt ceiling and limit government spending, sending the measure to the Senate in a strong bipartisan vote that allayed fears of an unprecedented government default.Ī majority of Democrats and a majority of Republicans voted "yes" on the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 on Wednesday night, for a final tally of 314-117.

So many people told them they should open a restaurant that they started Joe's Barbecue and Catering in mid-1995 and opened the first Kansas City Joe's.in a little neighborhood gas station not far from home at the corner of 47th Avenue and Mission Road. The folks behind Joe's began as weekend warriors who entered and won a lot of barbecue competitions, like the American Royal Open Barbecue Contest and the American Royal Invitational. Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que makes what USA Today calls "America's tastiest ribs," which practically fall off the bone. It might have started in a gas station, but don't let that fool you. Walk-ins are welcome groups of eight or more should call for a reservation. The five locations include the original at Martin City, the Freight House district, Country Club Plaza, Overland Park and Lee's Summit. Third-generation Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue has evolved today into the largest full-service wood cookery in the industry, with its five restaurants, a catering company and a shipping division. Zagat claims Jack Stack has the "highest-rated BBQ in the country" and named Jack Stack "the most popular restaurant in Kansas City." According to Zagat, with Jack Stack, "KC BBQ goes upscale without losing its soul." So not only can you get salmon and French dip, but you can also get a kickin' classic barbecue sampler and hickory-smoked prime rib.įrom its humble beginnings in 1957 as a neighborhood joint in Martin City, the family began cooking meats like certified Angus beef over hickory wood and created the most extensive barbecue menu in the country. They also happen to make melt-in-your-mouth traditional Kansas City barbecue. With beautiful oak bars and chic patios, these are probably the most sophisticated sauce houses this city has ever seen. Of course, Bourdain understood that his choice was risky - plenty of foodies feel that barbecue from North Carolina or Texas is superior.You know one thing for sure when you walk into one of the Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue locations in Kansas City: This isn't your typical down-home barbecue joint. In an article that he wrote for Men’s Health, Bourdain shared a list of 13 places to eat before you die, and the final was a Kansas City barbecue restaurant called Oklahoma Joe’s, which now goes by Joe’s Kansas City. Anthony Bourdain seemed to prefer Kansas City. “There is plenty of debate about which city has the best barbecue in the United States. It also has locations in Olathe and Kansas City, Kansas. And Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-QueĪnother food website, The Daily Meal, recently published “ 13 Restaurants That Anthony Bourdain Absolutely Loved.”Īlong with restaurants in France, Italy, Spain and New York, there’s Joe’s Kansas City Bar-B-Que (formerly Oklahoma Joe’s) in Leawood. The Census Bureau says its West North Central division is Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. To be clear, we’ve argued this “in the South” point before when it comes to Kansas City barbecue. Other barbecues on the list are in such states as Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. It also has a location in Overland Park.Ī New York-based corporate barbecue executive chef described it as “an up-and-coming chef-driven BBQ restaurant that hits each and every flavor profile just right.” It kind of sounded like one of the higher bandwidth modes like MFSK16 but the trace was only around 60hz wide like a BPSK31. Last night, somewhere on the lower side of the 40 meter band, I think I found an MFSK signal that sounded almost exactly like what is demonstrated on this website: I downloaded a couple of websites that provide examples of various data modes, provide a waterfall example, and even a short sound clip of each mode. There are no dumb questions when you are truly trying to learn something.ħ3 (best wishes in ham lingo), Dave K4EET Be sure to look up some of the history and technical aspects of the mode while you are at it to give you a well-rounded understanding of each mode (why it was first developed, what/when it is best used for, etc.).Įnjoy your travels and don't hesitate to ask questions if needed. While those modes are not really complete conversations like CW, RTTY and PSK31 would be, they are known for getting a minimal amount of information through quickly in a narrow bandwidth under less than optimal radio frequency (RF) conditions.īut like what was said before, focus on a single mode and perfect identifying and copying that mode before moving on to the next.

Yup, CW ops have their own shorthand to keep actual words per minute (WPM) higher. This command though, this would definitely be a special case as it allows for long arguments.I got a chuckle out of your post and I'm still giggling. So I rather like the idea of supporting commands that we see in the wild. wfview’s rigctld server (thank you Phil!!!) is a more advanced method of control compared to the pseudo-term, because we can properly rate-limit traffic to the radio and cache recent results (recent being a few ms). Our implementation of rigctld is interesting, we’re trying to support common commands although there are many (such as thins one) that we hadn’t encountered yet. Your screenshot is good, this will be helpful to others trying to make this connection. Is sending CW via typing in CQRLog a fairly common thing people do? How does the experience compare to sending via fldigi’s modulated CW? This is very interesting indeed! I’m not a CW op (yet?), so let me see if I understand the mode of operation correctly: You send CQ (or other CW traffic) by sending the characters to the radio over CI-V, and then the radio keys the characters at the prescribed rate? Is this correct? I’m sorry to be so uninformed about it. No need for external keyers or any of that jazz for the 7300 and siblings. Just thought I would share these options for anyone trying to set computer keying up. A keyer-speed knob would be nice though! Thanks devs, this is fantastic software. Hopefully wfview’s rigctld will eventually get the option of sending cw, but this alternative works fine for now. In my view, keying CW should be the responsibility of the logger anyway, so this works fine. Note that “port number” there is for CQRLog’s version of rigctld, so can’t be the same as the rigctld port wfview is listening on. Settings here: Imgur: The magic of the Internet I am able to send CW on my IC-7300 with the following command: /usr/bin/rigctl -m 373 -r /home/pi/rig-pty1 b CQ However, it works fine if you use hamlib with wfview’s virtual serial port. Hamlib does this, but the "RigCtld emulation function of WFView does not appear to do this yet. This is good because it doesn’t rely on good timing by the computer, doesn’t tie up the serial port for more than a few milliseconds, and uses the rig’s keyer speed setting. FYI, CI-V on many radios permits sending CW with the rig’s keyer. The most common cause of lumps in the neck or armpit are swollen glands (or lymph nodes) known as lymphadenopathy.

Are located in the superficial or fat layer of skin.Lumps that are benign (non-cancerous) and usually nothing to worry about generally: Get into the habit of self-examining your armpits and breasts or testicles and get to know what is and isn’t ‘normal’ for you.’ What’s the difference between a benign and a cancerous lump? ‘It’s important to be familiar with your body and examine yourself regularly, so you can spot any new changes or lumps quickly and get advice from a doctor if needed,’ explains Dr Saloojee. You should see a GP if you have concerns about a lump or if it persists for more than 2 weeks.’ Why it’s important to check your body regularly ‘But sometimes a lump may need treatment or immediate care. ‘Most lumps are usually nothing to worry about,’ says Dr Roshaan Saloojee, a Livi GP.

For the sheer amount of content available for players, its humor, its creativity, and its ability to make someone not traditionally interested in th is genre want to keep playing, I am giving Tinytopia a 9/10. Tinytopia is a playful, physics-based, city-building sim where you can create and manage the whimsical worlds of your childhood imagination, from bite-sized burgs to magnificent metropolises, all. The fact that the monsters that can attack the town are wind-up toys seals the deal for me. Looking at further levels, I can tell that this game will have levels for those who do want to strategically develop their infrastructure, and for players who want to see how many buildings they can balance along a clothesline rope. However, once I reached “Tower of Booktopia ,” I was delighted by the stack of books next to my buildings, and the giant scissors off to one side. I forgot this quickly while playing through the tutorial and “Fledgling Fields” levels, as they were typical city building settings. The game tells players almost immediately that the name, Tinytopia, refers to the pocket-sized area in which the buildings inhabit. This was a fun and unique twist that made gameplay a bit more challenging, but also kept things feeling fresh. I especially enjoyed the building combinations, as I could tell I was already beginning to remember the patterns needed for certain common buildings. Gameplay was easy to get the hang of, and things that used to scare me (like continual disasters occurring) are thankfully very occasional. I was very pleasantly surprised by Tinytopia, especially as I got farther along in the levels. The tutorial information is presented in a sarcastic and humorous manner, and the goals are straightforward. I’ve admittedly steered clear of city building games like this in the past because those I’ve played tend to be too monotonous or close to the real world for my taste. Going into this game, I wasn’t sure how I was going to like it. Once placed, the building automatically combines and creates an upgraded version of whatever it was previously. Within the game’s menu, there is an entire page that displays blueprints unlocked and gives the player an idea of just how many potential blueprints exist within the game. Instead, players must click on each tier 1 building to find out what other building and placement is needed to create the next tier. You must supply power, employment and homes to see your city grow in order to meet the requirements of. These new buildings do not just show up in the build bar, however.

A complete set of armor and accessories will cost you 3,455 Poetics. If you intend to start Reaper or Sage, go ahead and buy Augmented Scaeven Gear from Enna in Rhalgr’s Reach (X:13.8, Y:11.6). You’ve got a few choices when it comes to spending Poetic Tomes, but the most obvious is starting out with new leveling gear. Remember a boost to main stat (Mind, Intelligence, Dexterity, etc.) and item level is generally always worth it over whatever gear you may have in your inventory. Those will give you the biggest stat increases. Prioritize buying your weapon first, then big pieces like your body armor and pants.
