Visit our website to learn more about the FixMe.IT remote desktop application and its features. However, if your primary goal is to easily perform remote tech support, you’d better check out third-party applications such as FixMe.IT.Īre you using Windows Remote Desktop to access your office machines? Did we miss any of its advantages or disadvantages? Let us know in the comments! Techinline’s FixMe.IT, in turn, allows you to run an unlimited number of concurrent support sessions and easily switch between them in the process.įor local network administration and accessing your office machines remotely, Windows Remote Desktop is a great tool that’s free and easy to set up. Although there’s a workaround that lets you turn on multiple remote desktop connections on Windows 10 & 8, Microsoft’s built-in tool simply wouldn’t be able to handle dozens of connections with different network settings. It doesn’t really allow to run multiple concurrent sessions.Furthermore, there are no whiteboard tools that would allow you to demonstrate a certain process to your client. This is one of the biggest problems of Windows Remote Desktop that hasn’t been yet resolved. It locks the remote screen, making the remote user unable to interfere or see anything that you’re doing on their machine. ![]() While many third-party applications such as FixMe.IT allow you to do that with a single mouse click, Windows Remote Desktop requires additional actions on your end. Being able to reboot the remote computer and automatically reconnect is a vital remote support feature. It doesn’t allow to reboot the remote machine and automatically reconnect.If you need to support your friends, family members, or a large number of clients running any of the Windows Home versions, then Remote Desktop shouldn’t be your tool of choice. It’s only included in Pro, Business or Ultimate versions of Windows.This is a no-go approach if the remote client requiring assistance is not a tech-savvy person. Besides that, you’ll need to know the IP address of the server along with the login credentials for the remote machine(s) you want to connect to. If you’re planning to use Windows Remote Desktop outside your office network, you’ll need to configure the remote network to accept incoming connection requests. It may not be that easy to set up outside the office.Note, however, that Home editions of Windows don’t include this service, but we’ll get back to that soon. Although Windows Remote Desktop is disabled in the operating system by default, it’s very easy to turn it on. You don’t have to spend a single dollar on a third-party tool if your needs are limited to in-office remote support or accessing your centralized file storage on-the-go. Remote Desktop is a built-in Windows service that runs on the Remote Desktop Protocol and therefore is completely free. Let’s dive into the pros and cons of using Windows Remote Desktop and investigate. It’s free, and it’s very easy to set up and use.īut what if you need to support a larger number of clients outside your network? Will WRD be enough for that? Are there any substantial feature limitations? ![]() Windows Remote Desktop is one of the go-to proprietary services for those managing a few remote computers on the same network. ![]() Footnote 3 In fact still today, they are seen as something inherently Finnish, brave and innovative. As a result, icebreakers became not only necessary for the economy and national well-being but also ‘monuments of collective identification’. Finally, both the system and the rhetoric were presented as a success story that resonated with other aspects of Finnish national narratives. Second, the decisions they made were made to seem natural through a widely shared technocratic rhetoric. First, a range of economic, political, and industrial stakeholders were invited to participate in policy-making. In order to shield it from political uncertainty, a threefold strategy emerged. Footnote 2īuilding the winter seafaring system was a contested process. Nationalism, economic and political incentives were inseparable components in this process. We argue that icebreakers became important because a nationalistically minded technocratic elite saw them as a technology that could greatly contribute to their nation-building efforts, thus making Finland the modern, Western country they wanted it to be. In the late nineteenth century, Finland was not a sovereign state but a part of the Russian empire and was practically isolated from Western Europe during winters. We then revisit the classical presentations of the history of Finnish winter navigation to understand how the dominant nationalistic narrative about icebreakers was constructed and established. We are interested in the explicit arguments and implicit presumptions in these discussions: how the decision-makers perceived the function and role of icebreakers in the Finnish national infrastructure system and their relation to national identity. We study the decision-making in winter seafaring committees, government organisations as well as the public discussion related to icebreaker acquisitions. Nor, does it explain why, during the twentieth century, the Finnish state directed significant public resources, again and again, to these expensive, special purpose vessels, which saw limited use only for three to four months in a given year. Mere industrialisation and export trade fails to explain why winter navigation became perceived, to invoke the terminology of Thomas Hughes, as a reverse salient in the late nineteenth century. ![]() Finland is not an island and icebreaker-assisted winter seafaring was not the only means of transport. We argue that the deterministic, nationalistic narrative from ice to icebreakers fails to capture the complexity of Finnish history. This article discusses the development of the Finnish winter navigation system over the century, 1877–1977. In order to eliminate seasonal variation in trade, Finland operates an icebreaking fleet that is second only to the major Arctic countries, Russia and Canada. Footnote 1 It makes natural the idea that this northern country is both strongly dependent on icebreaking and particularly capable of managing its wintry condition. ‘Finland is an island and all of its ports freeze over during a normal winter’ has been an oft-repeated saying in Finnish discourse. As such, the Finnish winter-seafaring system presents a case of technological nationalism in which a small, peripheral country sought to integrate itself into a modern international order. Finally, we argue that winter navigation became a central imaginary for Finland as a western, industrial and modern nation. We reinterpret the Finnish winter navigation system as a tangible, historical experience and show that technological solutions in this domain cannot be understood outside the context of a decades-long process of nation-building. By using diverse archival sources, we deconstruct the dominant narrative of Finnish winter seafaring through which national as well as technological development is often presented as natural, inevitable and straightforward. Over the century 1878–1978, Finland developed a winter-seafaring system that broke the winter isolation and eliminated seasonal variation in shipping. Finland is the only country in the world where all ports freeze over during a typical winter. ![]() Their knowledge gives them the power to navigate the Matrix, and, at times, bend it to their will, but while they're inside, they're still shackled to a chair by their headjacks, the same technology that used to be the primary tool of their enslavement. In a way, I think Neo and company model the way good, thoughtful people are forced to operate within a bad system even after they're awake to its faults. I think you're onto something with uncoupling knowledge from freedom, though. Imagining a world without them, or considering their efforts useless, is bleak enough to make me want to reach for that blue pill. ![]() That doesn't exist in the real world, but empathetic, lifelong learners, people who acknowledge their own inevitable ignorance and strive to reduce it, do. If we take Morpheus at his word, the red pill, in all its science fiction glory, is a sweeping dose of unalloyed truth-something akin to a complete education. To me, problems like brilliant Nobel Prize winners somehow missing that they, and the institution that honored them, are wildly sexist are issues of people feeling that their education is somehow complete as-is. Those betrayals might shake your faith in activism or institutions, but I don't think individual failings mean that the pursuit of knowledge is a doomed exercise. ![]() Emma Grey Ellis: Hang on, Emily, are you saying that knowledge and truth actually aren't power? I hear you on the oversimplification-anybody who's ever been milkshake ducked knows the pain of rooting for something or someone who seems good and righteous, but winds up being deeply flawed. ![]() Drawing it out looks like this:Īnd the equation would read y = 45,000 + 3,000x. The question is asking us to divide 28 into 4 equal parts, and then take one of them. If a fraction problem is hard, drawing it out makes it much easier to think about the steps you need to take to solve it. Likewise 137 can be broken down into 120 + 17 (alternatively 120 + 16 + 1). Half of 99, for example, can be broken down into 80 + 13 (alternatively 80 + 12 + 1). The best trick for these numbers is to break them into numbers you can take half of easily. Numbers like 93 or 137 are a bit trickier because both numbers are odd. Half of numbers like 64 or 88 are easy because they have two even numbers. This is a common application of fractions that many struggle to do well. If you find some of these challenging, that may be something to practice as well.īe able to take half of any number up to 200-including odd numbers. These depend on your ability to multiple and divide numbers. Half of 40, one-third of 30, three-fourths of a dollar are all examples of fraction concepts. Being able to go both ways is very important in mental math.įraction concepts are parts of a whole. Once you start becoming confident in your mental multiplication, practice your division. And, like with working out, this will get easier after a handful of practice sessions. Your speed will grow when you really struggle your way through each problem. And, unfortunately, one cannot memorize their way into being good at math. While it does help with timeliness, it's using the "memory" part of the brain instead of the "problem solving" part of the brain. You don't want to memorize your multiplication charts. If this is challenging, keep at it! Just like a workout, you'll make the most improvements when you continue to challenge yourself.Ģ) Multiply two numbers together (numbers up to 15) Next, count backwards from 90 to 0 counting by 3's. There are two general exercises that most effectively cover every operation in arithmetic:ġ) Count to any number, by any number, from any number-both forwards and backwards.įor example, count by 6's up to 75 starting at 3. Practicing consecutive days for even ten minutes will lead to noticeable improvement if you have not already achieved mathematical fluency. The brain and the body like to adapt quickly. To gain mental fitness, you need to train and practice. To build physical fitness, you need to train and practice. This is your ability to complete math problems in your head. (Note, this guide is for general math aptitude and is not a guide for the GED, ACT or any other University-entrance exam.) Performing well on these tests may mean that you can pass out of a course-or not taking courses at all, though generally you will need strong algebra skills for the latter. ![]() Technical/community colleges will have you take some sort of placement test for your math called an Accuplacer. Having competent math skills is your ticket to edging other people out for these positions. In fact, most education positions require general aptitude tests-including one in math-regardless of the field you are teaching. Additionally, certain entry-level jobs may require a basic math aptitude test, including cashier positions, bank tellers, nursing assistants, pharmacy technicians and working as a tutor or paraprofessional in a school setting. A 4-year college will require at least one semester of college algebra, while technical/community college will likely require a basic math course, depending on the program. Most colleges, including technical colleges, require a basic math course. ![]() Below are the key areas that will lead to your mathematical success. The good news: when you start practicing mental math regularly and grasp a few basic concepts, you will find that you'll be much better at math than you think you can be. And, while computation has become redundant with the accessibility of calculators, you probably won't be too proud having to use a calculator to solve a simple math problem in front of other people. Working with numbers, after all, seems to be an inescapable part of any job. Most workers, however, are more efficacious and confident if they are numerically fluent. Most professions don't use math directly. ![]() Starting price for 1 CUC: $25.00 (Twenty-five U.S. ![]()
At approximately 1030 CWO LAPINSKI and myself moved to the survivors compartment. It was my intention to remain with 44392 through the flood tide in hoping the 44392 would lodge between rocks and await the tide to ebb. We removed every piece of equipment that could come loose and cause injury. I explained to the civilians that the 44-foot MLB was the strongest boat ever built by the Coast Guard that we were going to stay with the boat just as long as possible that to brace themselves in, hang onto the children, be extremely careful so as not to hit the corners of the inverters and radar rack units in the galley compartment. I further informed all hands that I had made radio contact with Juneau radio. I did not relate the distance to the beach as I felt this would panic the civilian passengers. When I returned to the galley area I gave a description of where we were to all personnel. The beach being on the starboard beam and the wind and seas pounding from the port beam to quarter. ![]() 44392 had settled on a reef approximately 40 or 50 yards from the beach. ![]() Sometime while on the bridge I was able to shoot 2, 3, or 4 parachute flares in an attempt to determine where 44392 was-where the beach was. While on the bridge, 44392 continued to take breakers over the deck and super-structure. The receiver/transmitter unit being on the bridge, I returned to the bridge and broadcast MAYDAY on CH 16, giving my location, casualty, aground, engine-room flooding, wind and sea condition, number of people on board. At approximately 0420 I heard WRN 40, Juneau radio calling 44392 on VHF/FM CH16. I attempted to broadcast MAYDAY on 2182 KHZ, and CH 7 SSB but did not receive any answer. CWO LAPINSKI and myself were on the bridge and after we hit we entered the galley space dogging the door behind us. It was just a few seconds later that 44392 struck and settled on a reef. It felt to me as if it had struck forward on the port side. The horizontal visibility was just a few yards due to the heavy sea smoke.Īt approximately 0400, 44392 struck a rock. We attempted to pick out other lighted aids but with negative results except for that once I was able to make out Rocky Island. I had whoever happened to be lookout keep telling me the relative bearing of these lights and I would attempt to take a compass bearing and steer in this fashion. I was not able to see any of these lights myself because of the ice on the glass. Several times when the wind and sea would hit 44392 my heading would change as much as 90°.Īs I worked South, MK1 MACK was able to make out the lights from the houses on Sisters Island. When this happened I would be forced to bring 44392 in a 360° turn to return to 230° Magnetic. I found that the wind and sea would swing 44392 as much as 180°. I attempted to hold 230° Magnetic, thinking that course would account for the effects of wind and current. I found it extremely difficult to maintain any kind of a course. I attempted to steer toward Sisters Island with the starboard engine my only means of power. At one time I was able to see Rocky Island light with Sisters Island light to the right. I was using the Loom of Sister's Island Light (the Loom appeared as diffused illumination upon the sky) as my guide. I changed course so as to work into Icy Strait.

With beautiful views of the beach and the ocean, Heisler Park’s tide pools feature star fish, urchins, and barnacles, as well as a variety of snails. With two primary areas for tide pools on the northern and southern end of the beach, beach combers enjoy exploring both sections. Star fish, kelp snails, mussels, barnacles, and hermit crabs highlight your visit to Shaws Cove. With a rocky bench, you’ll enjoy exploring the tide pools. The second location – Goff Island – has an island that remains dry during high tide. At high tide, the island is completely submerged. Accessible only during low tide, you’ll find plenty to explore, including the tide pools. Treasure Island is a rocky bench with its own island. Both areas feature marine life, such as star fish, snails, mussels, tube worms, and clams. Aliso Beach in Laguna BeachĪliso Beach is home to two specific tide pool areas, separated by Goff Bay. Crescent Bay is a large area, so you’ll have opportunities to take in all types of marine life and beach combers. ![]() While the shallow tide pools are home to crabs, clams, mussels and star fish, the deep fissures contain marine life such as urchins. With level rock benches and deep slits, Crescent Bay features different views of tide pools. Located on the northern end of the beach, you’ll enjoy the walk along the sand to the tide pools. With tide pools featuring algae-covered rocks and a rocky bench, they’re perfect for finding anemones, mussels, star fish, and other marine life. While it’s more like 250 steps, Thousand Steps Beach offers picturesque views of the ocean and shoreline. Other areas for tide pools include rocky features, offering more unique marine life views. From a flat area home to anemones, mussels, and more, to the tower, with its rocky area and channels featuring castle worms and snails, among other marine life, you can find a variety of terrain and tide pools at Victoria Beach. Offering several types of tide pools, Victoria Beach is one of the best beaches in Orange County for marine life viewing. These special ecosystems in Laguna Beach are part of our Marine Protected Environment and therefore thrive since they are protected against fishing, touching or harvesting. Unlike its neighboring cities to the north and south, Laguna Beach is known for its spectacular tide pooling. Where are the tide pools in Laguna Beach? Other tide pool areas are Reef Point and Treasure Cove. ![]() Follow the boardwalk to the trail leading to Pelican Point, where you’ll find crabs, anemones, star fish, and more in the tide pools.

Here are a ten tide pools we recommend visiting. While Orange County is home to beautiful beaches, tide pools add a unique experience when visiting. Where are the best tide pools in Orange County?įrom Dana Point to Newport Beach to Aliso Beach, there are tide pools all over Orange County. The best way to identify low tide is to use a tide chart or tide schedule like the one published by TidesChart or check the latest data from the NOAA station on Santa Catalina Island. Just like sunrise and sunset, the times vary day to day throughout the year. Tides go in and out twice every 24 hours and 50 minutes (due to the gravitational forces exerted on the Earth by the moon) – typically in the early morning and in the evening. While visiting the tide pools National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration recommends people bring bags with them and help clear the tide pool areas of garbage and plastic that may wash ashore. ![]() ![]() It’s a handy way to obscure information you don’t want to share.
