Live at runway playa vista1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() To truly understand the allure of Playa Vista, one only needs to look at a map.ĭesigned and built as a genuine self-contained enclave, the community is by no means large. PVJOBS has provided almost 5,000 jobs and nearly 2,000 internships since its inception. ![]() The program commits 10% of all Playa Vista construction positions to the program. The PVJOBS program serves as an area nonprofit that helps at-risk youths and adults by providing construction jobs and job placement assistance. The Playa Vista Educational Trust funds books, classroom and playground equipment, field trips, sponsored mentoring programs, and academic achievement for students across the Westside region. Programs such as the Playa Vista Educational Trust and the Playa Vista Job Opportunities and Business Services (PVJOBS) are shining examples. Not satisfied with solely taking care of its own community, Playa Vista plays a crucial role in lifting its surrounding neighbors. There's also a commitment to social responsibility here. Residents here are intelligent and successful - a very well-educated group that works to ensure that the area's younger citizens receive similar educational opportunities. Strong sense of communityĮven though it caters to a diverse lifestyle, Playa Vista retains a strong sense of community.Īs one of the top communities in LA to live, raise a family, or work as a young professional, Playa Vista exudes a vibrancy that binds residents together. The single-family options, unique in their own right, include welcoming patios and decks, indoor-outdoor living and unmatched proximity to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Condo communities feature high-end amenities. Every home feels new, even those that were constructed at the turn of the century. Playa Vista is sophisticated communal living at its finest. But therein lies its primary draw and undeniable charm. To be sure, nobody will confuse this quaint community with the opulence of Bel-Air or Beverly Hills. There is no shortage of real estate offerings, from modern single-family homes to contemporary senior and assisted living to an array of low-maintenance, high-style condos and apartments. Young or old, single, married, or with a family in tow, you can find an ideal fit here in the heart of the Westside. Playa Vista's unique master-planned lifestyle comes incredibly close to that “all things for all people” ideal. From urban or suburban living to rubbing elbows with the rich and famous to more low-key communities along the Pacific shoreline, there's a little something for everyone.īut few Los Angeles communities cater to everyone all at once. One of the most dynamic aspects of a city like Los Angeles is that it caters to practically any lifestyle. Whether they’re families, young professionals, or anyone else seeking a unique LA lifestyle, these are the top seven reasons people love living in Playa Vista. It was then that the seeds were planted for the premier address that is now Playa Vista. Once the home of famed billionaire Howard Hughes' aviation exploits - Hughes Aircraft Company was headquartered here until 1985, and the legendary "Spruce Goose" was constructed at a local private airfield in the mid-1940s - Playa Vista's lineage as a master-planned community only dates back to 2002. This area is known for its luxury housing, sustainability efforts, tech-heavy business footprint, and immense walkability, and the roughly 15,000 residents are among the most fortunate in the whole of Los Angeles. Though a relatively new neighborhood by Los Angeles standards, Playa Vista shines as one of the city's most desirable places to call home. ![]()

Drill rap1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() Users began using the audio for "Plugged in Freestyle" due to Dbo's deep voice which contrasts with Ksav's previous verse. ![]() The group rose to fame when their "Plugged in Freestyle" took off on TikTok. They are from Drogheda, Ireland which has a postal code of A92, hence their name. Ī92 is an Irish drill and hip hop group consisting of eight members (Andre Fazaz, Ao, BT, Dbo, Kebz, Ksav, Nikz, & Offica). A92 and Offica’s collaboration with English producer, Fumez the Engineer, "Plugged" in Freestyle’, charted for 12 weeks on the Irish charts peaking at #29 and charted for 11 weeks on the UK charts peaking at #39. Two examples of Irish grime/drill rappers are the eight-man rap group A92, and one of their members Tomas Adeyinka ( Offica). The Irish grime/drill scene is a niche market with similar lyricism, style, and beats as UK grime/drill. ![]() American drill artists include Chief Keef, Pop Smoke, and Fivio Foreign, and UK drill artists include Tion Wayne, Aitch, and Digga D.īoth UK grime and UK drill influenced the genres of Irish grime/drill when it was introduced in Ireland during the 2010s. It originated in Chicago in the early 2010s and emerged in London, England in 2012. ĭrill is a subgenre of hip-hop with lyricism resembling gangsta rap and beats similar to trap music with a focus on a deep bass. UK grime was initially broadcast in the UK on pirate radio stations, without a broadcasting license, which initially prevented it from achieving success in the UK. It features elements of a variety of genres such as dancehall, hip-hop, and electronic music. Grime is an eclectic style of British rap music that emerged in London in the early 2000s. Irish rap is mainly listened to people in Ireland and to a lesser extent people in the UK. Irish Rap genres such as drill and grime are mainly influenced by UK rap while alt-rap and Irish hip hop have a greater influence from the US. The original Irish hip-hop was politically driven due to the tension of The Troubles in the early 1990s, and mixed music styles of both Traditional music and Rudeboy Dancehall. Irish hip hop originated in the early 1990s being influenced by the 1970s movement for hip-hop in New York. Each of these infuses influences from both Irish culture and another culture. This genre is made up of a variety of subgenre such as Irish grime/ drill, Irish Language rap, alternative rap and Irish trap. Irish hip hop, also known as Irish rap, is a term for any hip hop music produced and performed by a person who was born or grew up in Ireland.

Find garmin mapinstall files1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() I had forgotten about this application to be honest, although I'm pleased to hear that after 8+ years there are still users. I received a crash report, and it seems things have changed in the. IMG file format that this converter does not understand. ![]() I don't have a Garmin anymore, nor the time to delve into this. Therefore, a new maintainer is needed! I did update the UI to provide an error message instead of crashing and a small fix (which may improve things from an external contributor), but that's all I can do for now. Garmin only provides a Windows application, MapConverter.exe to convert Garmin maps from MapSource format to the OS X format so you can use the maps in Roadtrip and combine them with other maps if you have them. In order to remedy this, I've written a small Python script which can be used to convert a collection of. It is only meant for OSM maps, such as created by Mkgmap or cGPSmapper, it is not meant as a replacement for Garmins application, I have not tested this on commercially available maps, and it probably will not work – commercial maps are usually encrypted. The application is available in a command-line version and in an experimental version. Note that for example Lambertus provides daily builds for maps of the Netherlands which include an OS X installer. The graphical version is probably the easiest to use. It has been written as a Python script, and should work out of the box on at least OS X 10.4–10.12 (has been tested on 10.4 & 10.5 and 10.12), with the default Python systems, it requires no external modules. The various steps are illustrated by the pictures on the right.įinally, after this is done, you can delete the directory with the tiles, if you want, and the. Then you can fire up Roadtrip and select the map from the menu at the top right: The MapInstaller software copies everything to '~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps/OSM-German.gmap' this is the directory you need to delete if you want to get rid of the map. The Garmin format is not completely understood, and Mkgmap might produce maps which make Roadtrip and/or MapInstaller crash. The Windows versions of Garmins software appear to be more stable. If the map should cause really many problems, you can remove it by going to '~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Maps' and move the appropriate folder to the trash. ![]() Rm "~/Library/Application Support/Garmin/MapInstall/lastSelected.gdb" If this happens, open up a Terminal.app and execute: In case of MapInstall it can happen that it keeps crashing because it has some tiles selected of an OSM map and is unable to deselect them. This way MapInstall will startup without any map selected. If you encounter other problems, please let me know also. If you decide to install a new version of the same map, for example deutschland.tgz again, two weeks later, you can simply convert it in the same way (gmapi-builder will remove a previous version if it exists at the output location) and Garmins MapManager will also overwrite older version when installing. You should note however that Roadtrip does not support two maps with the same Family ID and Product ID, if possible map makers should at least specify a product ID different from the (i.e. ![]()

Duetconnect lx swing and bouncer1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() What we love: This neutral seat blends seamlessly into any décor and yet it’s also practical with multiple seat positions and a washable cover. The BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance toy bar is purchased separately. ![]() Overall, the seat is a good option for parents who want someplace for baby to hang out that won’t mess with their design aesthetic. The three-point harness is adjustable without adding extra straps. ![]() The chair features a soft fabric seat that’s easily removable and tossed in the wash. It features three different recline positions, along with a transport mode that lays flat, so you can store it out of the way or until the next baby comes along. The BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance is admittedly a splurge, but plenty of parents swear by it. Product weight: 5 pounds | Maximum weight: 29 pounds | Vibration: No | Rocking: Self-bouncing Personally, I love the Jumperoo for distracting baby long enough for me to cook dinner. It’s like an extra awesome activity table babies can make it jump, exercising their legs, blowing off some baby steam and entertaining themselves for precious minutes. What we love: The Jumperoo is a classic for good reason. The springs are swathed in soft covers for safety, and the seat pads are removable for machine washing. The seat also has three heights, so you can adjust things as baby grows. She’ll enjoy lights, music and sounds that happen when she jumps. This bouncer has a rotating seat with 360-degree activities, so your baby can spin herself around while playing. Product weight: 21 pounds | Maximum weight: 25 pounds| Vibration: No | Rocking: Self-jumping/swayingĪctive, older babies often like to jump, getting those legs ready for standing and walking-and the beloved Jumperoo is ready for action. What we love: Instead of purchasing both a swing and a bouncer seat, you could potentially just nab this swing and bouncer combo to save costs, plus it’s a comfortable seat loaded with features. Your baby can kick back with 10 different songs and five soothing sounds for those fussy moments. There are even two vibration speeds to choose from for a little massage baby can enjoy while gazing at the overhead mobile. Your baby will enjoy six swinging speeds and a reclined seat with head support for ultimate comfort. Simply remove the swing seat from its frame by squeezing the safety lock and place it on the floor for bouncing or portability. Want a bouncer with versatility? The Graco DuetConnect serves as a bouncer and swing, allowing you to get a lot of out one contraption. Product weight: 26 pounds | Maximum weight: 30 pounds for swing 18 pounds for bouncer | Vibration: Yes | Rocking: Swinging or self-bouncing What we love: This colorful bouncer comes with all the basics, including vibrations and a toy bar, along with fun designs for kids, all at a reasonable price. It lacks padding and the recline might be too steep for the youngest babies, so certainly wait to place them in this bouncer until they have excellent head and neck control. There’s also a huge selection of kid-friendly themes to choose from, including adorable flamingos, rainforest animals and pinwheels. The bouncer is swathed in a soft cover that’s removable and machine washable. ![]() Your baby can enjoy three spinning toys that hang on the removable toy bar, along with vibrations for a nice massage when she’s feeling fussy (you control the vibrations with an on-off switch). This baby bouncer has many entertainment avenues, and yet, it’s only $40. Bouncer: 5.5 lbs to 18 lbs Swing: 5.Product weight: 3.5 pounds | Maximum weight: 20 pounds | Vibration: Yes | Rocking: Self-bouncing.Option to plug in or use batteries makes this swing ideal for any room in the home.5-point harness keeps your child secure.Mobile with 3 soft toys keeps baby entertained.10 classic melodies and 5 nature sounds to delight and amuse.This swing also features 6 swing speeds, 15 songs and sounds, option to plug-in or use batteries, a cozy head support and soothing two speed vibration to keep your little one content. The multi-direction feature gives the option to face right, front or left, giving baby a new viewpoint and allowing parents to change the motion from a side-to-side swing to a head-to-toe swing for longer soothing. The cozy swing seat doubles as a portable bouncer with carry handles, giving you flexibility to use in any room in the home. DuetConnect™ LX with Multi-Direction is a 2-in-1 Swing and Portable Bouncer that allows you to always keep baby soothed and nearby. ![]()

Disk drill for mac version1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() To make sure everything ran smoothly across both platforms, I deleted six common file types from each machine. Whereas the Mac Mini uses 500 GB hard disk drive(HDD). The MacBook Pro features a 120 GB solid state drive (SSD). Both systems run the same version of Mac OS Sierra. An early-2015 MacBook Pro and a late-2014 Mac Mini. To ensure that this test was reflective of real world usage, I tested Disk Drill alongside four other recovery utilities on two Macs. Windows users should note that Macs have more features than this software provides as well as older versions available for download if they do not meet these requirements. This version of Disk Drill requires OS X 10.8 or later, which was installed on any Apple computer purchased after the fall of 2013. In addition to exporting forensic data in DFXML format for analysis purposes, it allows users to have access to a full suite of tools that support all major file types. This is quite different from competitors like Seagate and Prosoft, who offer dedicated recovery services (as with Disk Drill). They all can take advantage of lifetime upgrades available on Disk Drill Standard edition that costs only $29.ĬleverFiles Enterprise licensing can be installed on unlimited desktops.

Family favorite crock pot meals1/21/2024 ![]() ![]() Spicy Black Bean Soup Image via Cookie and Kate Because when you’re a parent, the less thinking you have to do, the better. Ready to get cooking? Here are 16 easy-to-prepare Crock-Pot recipes sure to become staples in your home. “When I get home with my girls in the evening, the house smells amazing and we all immediately feel relaxed and ready to eat.” “I work later on Thursdays, so I’m always sure to run home mid-afternoon to throw dinner into the Crock-Pot,” says Annie Garland, of Wheat Ridge, Colorado. If hygge were a smell, it would probably be a Crock-Pot dinner, because few things feel more welcoming after a long day than the aroma of a home-cooked meal. “I use a slow cooker at least once a week, because not only does it make for less cleanup, it (also) lets me sit down with my children to hear about their days and to get a head-start on homework.” Home-cooked meals are the embodiment of cozy ![]() “When I pick up my kids from school and after-school activities, I love knowing dinner is already underway,” says Michele Lee, of Garwood, N.J. “Once they leave home, they will have to prepare meals for themselves, so it’s a perfect training ground.” You get more time with the kidsīy swapping out a multi-step (multi-pan) meal for a one-pot wonder, you’re getting more quality time in with the kids than with the stove, which - need we even say it? - is important. ![]() “Kids who help prepare meals learn responsibility and an important life skill: how to cook,” Jacobsen says. Also, by outsourcing dinner prep, you’re not only lightening your load, you’re also fostering your child’s kitchen confidence. While asking your tween or teen to julienne carrots and stuff a chicken is probably unrealistic, having them portion out ingredients and dump them into a slow cooker is not. “Also, having kids dish out their own meals makes them feel empowered and teaches them how to portion food for themselves.” Kids can do the prep work “Eating together as a family gives parents a chance to role model good eating habits and positive eating behaviors, while demonstrating balanced nutrition and meal planning,” says Suzanne Farrell, RD, owner of Cherry Creek Nutrition. It’s the best of both worlds: bonding and nutrition.”įamily dinners are also an opportunity for parents to teach kids healthy habits without a lecture. “Numerous studies have shown that kids who eat regular meals with their family eat more nutritious foods and are at a decreased risk for developing eating disorders,” says Maryann Jacobsen, author of “ The Family Dinner Solution: How to Create a Rotation of Dinner Meals Your Family Will Love.” “Family meals teach kids that both food and family time is important. But by resisting the urge in favor of having everyone come together at the end of the day for an easy meal, your family is reaping countless emotional and physical benefits. Sure, having everyone pick at leftovers on their own schedule can be tempting when you’re pressed for time. Family dinners are important for your kids’ well-being Still not convinced? Check out these easy Crock-Pot dinners and try to not become a convert. Whether you get the slow cooker going in the morning before school or have the kids or caregiver do the prep work in the afternoon, Crock-Pot dinners take care of themselves. Relentless schedules make family dinners notoriously difficult, but when you have an arsenal of minimal prep Crock-Pot dinners for the family, you’re hard-pressed to find an excuse. And it also doesn’t mean everyone can’t sit down to eat together. But just because you don’t have the time - or, let’s face it, the inclination - to dice, chop and simmer after a long day, doesn’t mean your family has to forgo a hot, tasty meal. Whipping up an elaborate dinner is rarely more than a Pinterest pipe dream. When you have school-aged kids, afternoons and evenings can be jam-packed. ![]() |
