![]() The remoteness of the Canadian Rockies includes only one two-lane asphalt highway uniting Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. Their stunning blue is because of rock flour or glacial flour so named because glaciers grind limestone bedrock into fine dust that reflects the sun’s rays back as a brilliant blue. ![]() There are vast mountain ranges and turquoise-blue and aquamarine glacier-fed lakes like Lake Louise, Peyto Lake, Moraine Lake, and Maligne Lake. The drive from Banff to Jasper traverses the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, through one of the largest protected areas in the world complete with elk, loons, and grizzly bears. Understanding climate change is important wherever you are on planet earth.ĭuring one of the hottest summers ever recorded, my wife and I ventured north into western Canada to travel the Icefields Parkway described by National Geographic as the “Drive of a lifetime – one of the world’s most spectacular driving tours.” What we saw and what we learned included a visit to one of the continent’s epicenters for climate change – the Columbia Icefield and the receding Athabasca Glacier shrinking after 15,000 years. What is a column about Canadian glaciers doing in a newspaper section titled Southwest Life? Well, we were southwest of the Arctic Circle. The entire lake shore is wilderness surrounded by steep mountains of the Queen Elizabeth Ranges and three melting glaciers. Canada has numerous remote glacial lakes, but the largest is Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta, which is accessible by only one road at one point.

![]() "And that just keeps going on forever."Įven toys that poop, it seems, can be flush with meaning. "I think poop emojis poop out poop emojis," he says. ![]() For him, poop emojis provide an opportunity for ontological reflection. More evidence of civilization's decline? Jack Reynolds in Denver would beg to differ. Not only can you buy any number of poop emoji toys and wearables for the special children in your life, there's poop emoji air freshener and poop emoji wine for adults.) In 2017's The Emoji Movie, the poop emoji character was voiced by Sir Patrick Stewart. This trend may have something to do with the proliferation of children's books such as Everyone Poops and the "Captain Underpants" series, as well as the popular poop emoji. "But you've also got the lessons learned because you have to clean up after the dog." "You have a farting, pooping dog," she concedes. Higbe is quick to point out its prosocial messages of good citizenship. One of its top sellers is a game called Doggie Doo. "It's a very light taboo," agrees Mary Higbe, the good-humored director of marketing for Goliath Games, the third largest toy manufacturer in the U.S. It's a sign of a well-regulated system, but it's gross." It's something that's transformed inside of you, and that's fascinating. "Toys teach us to manage our disgust," Livingston explains. So her discourse upon toys that poop is uncommonly elevated, with references to such French philosophers as Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille. The path that lead to her home was quite long, a little over a mile and a half with only wooden fences on each side. Her hair shoulder length long blonde hair, bright green eyes and light skin. She wore a pair sneakers, blue jeans, green hoodie and dark blue beanie. in art education, Livingston wrote a dissertation called The Gooey, the Bloody and the Just Plain Gross. Rachel walked down the dirt path in cool fall air on her way home from school. ![]() Once complete, you can print by using this email address, even if you’re away from your printer. Users can also send print jobs from iOS 4. This process is usually set up during the product registration or automatically in some cases. Printopia from Ecamm Network installs as a preference pane in System Preferences and allows users to easily select which local and networked printers should be shared to iOS 4.2 devices on the local network. One more feature is that your printer may have its own email address. Most of these apps give more control to how and what you can print and give you functionality even if you don’t have AirPrint. The most mentioned is Printopia while others have recommended Printer Pro by Readdle as worth checking out. Thanks for sharing, all! Some solid options have been shared in the comments and via Twitter by readers. Print from iPhone with third-party apps, email, and BluetoothĪnother way to print from iPhone and iPad is with third-party software. This Canon printer allows me to print wirelessly with this Canon_ij_Setup network and the Canon iOS app. Once you’ve pressed it, navigate to Settings → Wi-Fi on your iPhone/iPad and look for an open network that contains your printer’s brand or model name in it. Look for a button similar to the one shown above. Works with iOS 17 Updated for compatibility with iOS 17 and the latest iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.

Whether you want to print from your iPhone or iPad, the process is almost identical. How to print from iPhone and iPad Print with an AirPrint printer One last thing to keep in mind before diving in is that iPhone and iPad don’t support wired printing, just wireless. Great options from Canon and HP are available from Amazon, Best Buy, and more. Sometimes you can pick up a new printer with AirPrint for not much more than ink refills. If you’ve had your printer for while and you’re almost out of ink, it could make sense to buy a new one (and recycle or donate your old one). If you know you don’t have an AirPrint-enabled printer, there may still be other options to print from your iPhone or iPad. If you’re not sure if you have AirPrint on your existing printer keep reading to find out quickly. The easiest way to print from iPhone and iPad is with AirPrint, an Apple protocol that is built into iOS and many printers on the market.

![]() It is also only a snapshot of a point in time.Similarly, what statistical measure best describes a set of data? Its mean? Median? Standard deviation? Skewness? The answer, of course, depends on what exactly you want to know about the set of data, and how comprehensively you want to describe it.Īctive share describes a difference in holdings between a portfolio and its benchmark, however: What single measure defines success for a hockey player? Goals scored? Points earned? Games won in a season, or in the playoffs, or in a career? Stanley Cup titles? In the following three sections, we detail why we believe that much of this focus is misplaced. And not surprisingly, investment managers whose approach results in a high active share relative to their benchmark have continued to highlight this in their marketing materials. While subsequent research 2 using the same data set cast significant doubt on this conclusion, investors, consultants, and even regulators continue to focus a great deal of attention on this one measure. This includes both exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold assets and exchange-traded notes (ETNs).The measure was first introduced in a widely read research paper published in 2009 1 that suggested that active share is a predictor of future performance, and argued that managers with higher active share delivered better long-term performance than those with lower active share. There are also nearly two-dozen volatility exchange-traded products (ETPs) for the VIX. Instead, you must purchase instruments that respond to fluctuations of the VIX. Traders can place their hedges through VIX options and futures. You cannot purchase the VIX like a stock or bond. Investors also have the option to use VIX values to price derivatives. Typically, when the price of VIX is:Ġ-15: This can indicate a certain amount of optimism in the market as well as very low volatility.ġ5-25: This can indicate that there is a certain amount of volatility, but nothing extreme.Ģ5-30: This can indicate that there is a certain amount of market turbulence and volatility is increasing.ģ0 and over: This can indicate that the market is highly volatile and there may be some extreme swings soon.Īnd because the VIX is an index, it can be tracked as well as traded using a variety of options and exchange-traded products. This knowledge can be used to make informed investment decisions. As volatility can often signal negative stock market performance, volatility investments can be used to speculate and hedge risk. The VIX can help investors gauge market sentiment as well as volatility to identify investment opportunities. That's why it's a good idea to use the VIX in tandem with technical and fundamental analysis. One thing to keep in mind is that current volatility cannot be known ahead of time. If the VIX is falling, there's less demand, and options prices tend to fall. If the VIX is rising, demand for options is increasing, and therefore, becoming more expensive. ![]() ![]() The performance of the VIX is inversely related to the S&P 500 – when the price of the VIX goes up, the price of the S&P 500 usually goes down. The VIX is often referred to as the market’s “fear index or fear gauge”. While the VIX only measures the volatility of the S&P 500 Index, it has become a benchmark for the U.S. It can help investors estimate how much the S&P 500 Index will fluctuate in the next 30 days. ![]() The price of this option is based on the prices of near-term S&P 500 options traded on CBOE. The Volatility Index or VIX is the annualized implied volatility of a hypothetical S&P 500 stock option with 30 days to expiration. ![]() Using CHAR(36) simplifies this example, but see " Making UUIDs More Performant in MySQL" for why you don't want to use strings for performance reasons. Here's an example where a table users uses UUIDs for its primary key. ![]() RANDOM_BYTES() was introduced in MySQL v5.6.17 (2014), and is currently not available in MariaDB. This uses RANDOM_BYTES() instead of RAND() because the former is non-deterministic and therefore more cryptographically secure, resulting in fewer UUID collisions in the end. Note that UUIDs of this kind reveal the identity of the computer that created the identifier and the time at which it did so, which might make it unsuitable for certain security-sensitive applications. '-', HEX( FLOOR(ASCII(RANDOM_BYTES( 1)) / 64) + 8), SUBSTR(HEX(RANDOM_BYTES( 2)), 2, 3), UUID v4 is a random UUID, meaning it is generated using random bytes instead of a timestamp or other data. This involves the MAC address of the computer and a time stamp.
