Telecast live from Willow Creek’s 7,000-seat South Barrington auditorium each August, more than 400,000 pastors and community leaders attend the Summit at hundreds of locations across North America, and around the world at 675+ sites in 130 countries and 60 different languages-making it the largest event of its kind on the planet. In 1995, he convened WCA’s first Global Leadership Summit, an annual two-day event featuring top leaders from all perspectives and areas of expertise-both faith-based and secular (past speakers include Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Bono, Melinda Gates, Andy Stanley, Jim Collins, Ed Catmull, Tyler Perry, Sheryl Sandberg, Nicholas Kristof, David Gergen, and Brené Brown). In 1992, Hybels launched Willow Creek Association, a not-for-profit organization that equips, inspires, and empowers leaders around the world. Utilizing contemporary music, the arts, relevant teaching from the Bible, and a small-groups community focus that has revolutionized how people experience community in the local church, Willow Creek has grown to more than 25,000 attendees, one of the largest churches in North America-and one of the most influential. Hybels launched Willow Creek Community Church in 1975 with his wife, Lynne (Berry), and a group of friends who gathered in rented space in a movie theater with a vision of helping people from any faith background (or no faith at all) become fully devoted followers of Jesus. He is the bestselling author of more than twenty books, including Simplify, Axiom, Holy Discontent, Just Walk Across the Room, The Volunteer Revolution, Courageous Leadership, Too Busy Not to Pray, and Becoming a Contagious Christian.

The reason for this is preserving as many terpenes as possible. In this process marijuana is taken straight from the plant and put in the freezer. While most BHOs are made with cannabis that has been dried and cured, live resin uses the freshest flower possible. The reason it gets its own section is because it has some important differences in how it is extracted in comparison to its BHO relatives. ![]() Live ResinĪlright, before you experts start correcting me, I know live resin is technically BHO, too. BHO is actually a terpene-rich extract that poses very little threat to your overall health, so long as you’re not trying to make it yourself at home. Okay, so amateur BHO extraction can lead to basement blow-ups, but don’t let that deter you from the concentrate as a whole. ![]() Many of whom used shady extraction techniques which threw flammable chemicals all over their extraction rooms, causing explosions (not even kidding). While this is one of the rarer THC oil extraction methods, it is gaining popularity quickly.īHO caught a bad rap in the media in recent years due to amateur cannoisseurs. The two together provide a glorious high both in effects and tastes. Due to their near perfect purity, they have virtually no taste, which is why you can often see them in the same container as terpene “sauce”. These crystals are usually over 99% pure. For recreational consumers this stuff just serves as a clean, smooth way to get really, really high. Without heat, this concentrate can be consumed orally without psychoactive effects, which is great for patients that need THC but can’t handle the highs. THCa isolate is super refined to the point where all you get are the crystals themselves. THCa is a chemical relative to THC and just requires heat to transition. THCaĪ different, rarer form of BHO is isolated THCa. Shatter and budder are the two most ideal forms due to their ease of handling. While shatter and oil are produced relatively naturally, budders and crumbles require physical agitation to get the right consistency. It’s during this process that we get the variety of BHO products like shatter and crumble. Once this process is complete the concentrate is placed into a vacuum oven that purges as much of the remaining solvent as possible. Thanks to that residual tube, butane can be used several times over to reduce chemical waste. The oils are deposited in their own reservoir and the residual solvent in a separate one. The butane strips the plant material of oils like cannabinoids and terpenes and leaves the residual material in the tube. BHO ExtractionīHO extraction works on the back of a closed loop system where dry cannabis is packed into a tube and blasted with liquid butane. BHO extraction is responsible for almost any shatter you’ve ever had, as well as most budders and crumbles. BHO (Butane Hash Oil) is one of the most common types of marijuana concentrate because it is relatively cheap to produce and provides consistent and desirable results. ![]() Let’s start with what you probably know best. So slip into your smarty-pants and lets learn a little bit about the science behind concentrates. With all of those options and differing opinions scattered across the internet, it can be tough to decide on what the best THC oil extraction methods are, and how they are different. Admittedly, though, there are worse problems to have. That’s a whole heck of a lot of concentrates to keep up with. Now we have shatter, budder, crumble, oil, distillate, isolate, live resin, rosin, live rosin, and even RSO and tinctures. Back when concentrates first started gaining popularity it was all about the hash. Scientists have been concentrating on new and improved THC oil extraction methods, and it seems like the new “best thing” comes around once a year. The days of just choosing between dry sift and ice hash are long gone. It feels like nowadays you have to be an actual scientist just to keep up with the latest and greatest in cannabis concentrates. ![]() The peripheral vision on the HJC F70 really surprised us too! There is a breath guard included, but Pinlock honestly does a better job of defogging, so you can remove the breath guard and enjoy higher visibility. HJC F70 has a surprisingly well-made clear face shield that is Pinlock-ready and has a well-made locking mechanism. Don’t go on the race tracks with this one, though. It’s DOT and ECE certified, so it will be fit for most roads out there. However, what makes it land on our best motorcycle helmets to prepare for the 20 seasons is the sheer range of features you get for such a small price, all with relatively high quality.įirst of all, the fiberglass composite shell really gives that high safety at 3 pounds and 7 ounces of weight (1,56 kg). It’s certainly the best full-face lid you can get in the sub-$300 price range. Released at the twilight of 2020, HJC really impressed riders around the world with their F70 model. If you need to prepare for the 2022 season, this is one of the best motorcycle helmets to prepare with. It’s durable, light, and, most importantly, one of the quietest helmets around. Overall, AGV K6 is most certainly the best mid-range full-face motorcycle helmet you can get in 2021. Inside the helmet, there are cutouts for glasses and Bluetooth speaker cutouts for further feature expansion of this helmet. We also like the double D-ring chin strap, which further increases the comfort. K6 feels quite comfortable due to its washable and fully removable inner lining. If you’re interested in another high-quality AGV helmet, check out our AGV Pista GP RR review! Still, this translates to dramatically less wind noise, making AGV K6 one of the quietest full-face helmets around. These vents are extra small, which translates to less airflow. It has three top vents, a pair of rear vents, and a small chin vent. The ventilation scheme of the AGV K6 is a double-sided blade, though. K6 also has one of the smallest face shield mechanisms when it comes to full-face helmets, making its operation and replacement effortless. The visor comes with Pinlock in the box and has high UV protection to protect you from the sun rays. Also, the 5-layer EPS liner makes it much safer during a crash.Īnother thing that makes AGV K6 stand out is the 4mm thick Pinlock-ready face shield. Still, it doesn’t have a Snell safety rating, so it definitely isn’t fit for the race tracks. Along with that, it’s quite a safe helmet due to DOT and ECE certifications. This makes it extra light at 2,95 pounds (1,33 kg). We’ve chosen this model because it’s one of the quietest motorcycle helmets on this list and is very comfortable to wear for longer periods.įirst up, its shell construction is made of carbon and aramid combination. Many people preferred - and I think still prefer - to lock themselves in a room and study for a couple of hours with little to nothing around them to serve as a distraction.The pleasure of one of the best full-face motorcycle helmets released in 2021 goes to AGV K6. ![]() The concept of the invention was great, but the helmet was simply too heavy, thus uncomfortable which became a distracting factor. In 1925, this product was featured in the American Physical Society magazine of which Gernsback was a distinguished member. Some of the first people who tried it were also claustrophobic, which made them immediately reject the product. The first people to try the helmet said that they felt quite sleepy due to the quiet and dark environment it put them through. The size of the helmet was very exaggerated in order to not suffocate the user. In order to isolate sound, the helmet would confine the whole head of the user, therefore the helmet came with an oxygen tank which was attached to the Isolator by a tube that gave the user enough oxygen. Its main purpose (as the name implies) was to isolate the sound around the user and focus the vision of the user by limiting his or her field of view. That is why he came up with the Isolator. ![]() And yes, this alarming fact was brought to light after that information was lifted from the database (it’s hard to say hacked in the absence of a password). Ai.type’s open database exposed the names, phone numbers, contacts, social media links, and other identifying information of more than thirty-one million iOS and Android device users. In ai.type’s case, the data was stored on an unprotected database – there was no password required to access 577 gigabytes of user data. Swiftkey and ai.type, both apps that install third-party keyboards on mobile devices, collected and stored users’ personal data. Additionally, according to the websites of most app developers, any information collected from users via keyboards or otherwise, may be shared with their partners, as well.Īs if the idea of installing a universal keystroke logger weren’t enough to cause concern, there have been at least two third-party keyboard-based apps that have had their servers hacked, exposing users’ personal data. The bottom line is that a third-party keyboard with Full Access permission may become a keystroke logger for all input to all apps on that device, recording and sharing the keyboard input from a device with the developer’s server. This warning, and the potential capability it implies does not mean that the app is definitely keystroke logging all input, but Full Access does mean Full Access. Apple’s warning states, “hese keyboards can access all of the data you type, including bank account and credit card numbers, street addresses as well as personal and other sensitive information…If you enable Full Access, developers are permitted to access, collect and transmit the data you type.” These keyboards, with a few exceptions, replace the original operating system keyboard, becoming the keyboard which will be utilized by apps on the device until removed or supplanted by another keyboard. Apple iPhones alert app users at installation that certain third-party keyboards permitted Full Access may collect data beyond that transmitted via the app. ![]() By now, you’re asking yourself, where’s the digital double agent?Īs the term third-party connotes, apps that include third-party keyboard plug-ins are developed by app companies, not the device manufacturers. Grammarly Keyboard has over fifteen million users, and Gboard installs eclipse one billion. Included Bitmoji in the top ten of its most downloaded apps of 2018. ![]() To date, more than one hundred million Bitmoji avatars are in use, and Apple Bitmoji, another app that includes a third-party keyboard, allows users to create their own personal avatars and incorporate those avatars into other applications. Apps of all varieties have keyboard components, for example, Tenor, a GIF keyboard for inserting short clips and animations into other applications Grammarly Keyboard, an app that checks your grammar as you type and Gboard, Google’s mobile device keyboard, all have the capacity to capture data input via the keyboard. Third-party app developers have designed add-ons, or plug-ins, that increase functionality of mobile devices and other apps that often include installing additional or replacement keyboards. In fact, if we examine some of the latest plug-ins, we may be handing over control without ever letting our mobile devices out of our hands. As obvious an error as it is to turn over control of a device on which sensitive data is created and stored, we seem to have forgotten that lesson when it comes to our mobile devices. The Soviets simply took advantage of an opportunity when the Americans gave up control of the typewriters and put the security of the units in the Soviets’ hands. According to The Crypto Museum, the most likely scenario is that the typewriters were bugged during a customs’ inspection, before delivery to the US embassy ( ). In this case, the truth is rather mundane. One of the more interesting questions about the bugging incident is, how did the Soviets access the typewriters to install the bugs? If you watch spy movies, you’re probably envisioning a double agent, or a mysterious Soviet cleaner, sneaking around the embassy late at night with a tool kit hidden in her uniform. In our associated article on keystroke logging, we begin with the story of what is arguably the first keylogging incident – the Soviet bugging of electric typewriters at US embassies during the early 1980s. To find the final Treasure Hunt Map, simply look around the table’s vicinity (it’s pretty easy to spot once you’ve located the D&D table). Upstairs in the Recreation Room, you’ll come across a table where the crew had been playing a round of Dungeons & Dragons (a fun little Easter Egg if you didn’t know this was here).

"Defense Plan Omega - falling to my knees and begging for mercy." An entirely new set of vivi "Hail, Toilet Caesar" As if it hadn't been funny enough with all the bad things which kept happening to Apollo, Leo is back, not only to add his own share of humor, but to torment Apollo whenever possible. "Hail, Toilet Caesar" "I don't like spoilers." With The Hidden Oracle's prophecy unraveled, our ex-god - demigod - ex-sorceress trio is already on the way towards the second stage of the journey. Quick note: there are spoilers for the Percy Jackson books, so maybe don't read this if you haven't read them yet.īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube. It is full of adventure, haiku and mechanical dragons, as well as some great LGBTQ+ representation (Apollo is, himself, bisexual). In this book, Apollo has left Camp Half-Blood behind and is venturing out to restore Oracles and - hopefully - regain his place on Mount Olympus after Zeus cast him out and made him human. But sometimes there is just something so delightful about a character who is definitely NOT a hero and doesn't even pretend to be. Don't get me wrong, I praised the Percy Jackson series for being all about how a seemingly regular kid discovers he is actually so much more and proceeds to become a hero. Unfortunately, I missed the wall.Īlso, I just kind of love that Apollo is a narcissistic ass. "Um.nah." I leaned against the wall, hoping to look casual, attractive and suave. And the plots of the other books seemed to move in similar cycles of prophecy-quest-resolution, whereas this and The Hidden Oracle contained more surprises. Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase - started to blend together after a little while, and their characters were hard to distinguish from one another. I think I like these Apollo stories so much more because they feel the most unique. Apollo is just so sassy and snarky, and his disdain for humans rings with hilarious truth. I know all of these books have the same light, humourous tone, but none of the others seem to make me laugh so much. Honestly, Apollo is hands down my favourite character that Riordan has ever created. Unfortunately, the only thing that came to mind was weeping in terror. I think I like these Apollo stories so much more beca I tried to think of a brilliant plan. ![]() ![]() I love him so much ♥ Honestly, Apollo is hands down my favourite character that Riordan has ever created. Of course I don't think she would not be much impressed by him at first (notably his egomaniac side could be a downer) but if he proved his worth by reclaiming the oracles (without whining to much about it) she would probably start liking him, with her being a Roman and a sucker for duty and honour and all that.Īnyway I do hope that we see a lot of her in the future books, whether or not she ends up with Apollo. What if he met Reyna and the two fell for each other? She is awesome, I can see him falling for her no problem. And then the next book comes Apollo, falling from the sky, recounting how he has lost the two only people he ever truly loved. Which might mean she'll fall in love with a god instead. Also something crossed my mind when I was re-reading the whole series: Venus told Reyna that she would not be loved by a demi-god. Also something crossed my mind when I was re-reading the whole series: Venus told Reyna that she would not be loved by a demi-g …more Yes I would love that.

In fact, we still widely use these tests today. The result was a change in the earlier law requiring all healthy French children to attend school, between the ages of 6 and 13, to recognize instead that otherwise normal children sometimes need special help: they are “slow” ( arriéré), but not “sick.” This conceptualization of intelligence was then carried forward, through the test's influence on Lewis Terman (1877–1956) and Lightner Witmer (1867–1956), to shape virtually all subsequent thinking about intelligence testing and its role in society. He developed the first intelligence test. Along with Théodore Simon, Binet developed the Binet-Simon Scale, the forerunner of modern IQ tests. His independent wealth allowed him to pursue his interests and work without. Binet was born in 1857, the only child of a physician father and artist mother. Supported by the Société libre de l'étude psychologique de l'enfant, and by a number of collaborators and friends, he thus undertook to create a “metric” scale of intelligence-and the associated testing apparatus-to legitimize the role of psychologists in a to-that-point psychiatric domain: identifying and treating “the abnormal”. Binet, Alfred 18571911 FRENCH PSYCHOLOGIST, INTELLIGENCE RESEARCHER SORBONNE, DOCTORATE IN NATURAL SCIENCE, 1894 BRIEF OVERVIEW Alfred Binet is best remembered as the developer of the first useful test for measuring intelligence. Alfred Binet was a French pioneer of modern psychological testing who developed the prototype of many intelligence tests in use today, including the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. In contrast, Binet sought to keep children in schools and conceived of a way for psychologists to do this. Each of the five factors is given a weight and the combined. Both verbal and nonverbal responses are measured. These five factors include fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing and working memory. This included a long-standing rivalry with Désiré-Magloire Bourneville (1840–1909), who argued for decades that psychiatrists ought to be the professional arbiters of which children would be removed from the standard curriculum and referred to special education classes in asylums. The Stanford-Binet test is a examination meant to gauge intelligence through five factors of cognitive ability. This paper examines the first moments of the emergence of “psychometrics” as a discipline, using a history of the Binet–Simon test (precursor to the Stanford–Binet) to engage the question of how intelligence became a “psychological object.” To begin to answer this, we used a previously-unexamined set of French texts to highlight the negotiations and collaborations that led Alfred Binet (1857–1911) to identify “mental testing” as a research area worth pursuing. ![]() Connect the receiver’s analog audio output(s) to an amplifier or home theater systemĭepending on your surround sound receiver, it might have both digital and analog ports in order to connect the amplifier/receiver to more than one room at a time. ![]()
