![]() Bloomberg hasn’t acknowledged the criticisms, issued a correction or retracted the article, which casts doubt on anonymously sourced pieces like this. Apple and Amazon denied the allegations vehemently, and no other publication was able to confirm any of the details. In October 2018, Bloomberg published “The Big Hack,” which alleged that Chinese intelligence services had compromised America’s technology supply chain by inserting malicious chips into servers used in large corporate data centers. The good news is that O’Brien was reportedly a big behind-the-scenes player in the Apple Store’s initial success, so insiders are optimistic about her new role. ![]() That hire took place when Apple was trying to establish itself as a fashion company, and Ahrendts’s previous experience running luxury fashion retailer Burberry seemingly made her a good fit. While it’s easy to blame all of the Apple Store’s problems on Ahrendts, when Apple Store visionary Ron Johnson left Apple for JCPenney, Tim Cook made the mistake of replacing him with John Browett, who lasted less than ten months, and then left the position vacant for nearly two years until he brought in Ahrendts. It’s widely believed that Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s new retail chief, will bring back the Genius Bar and do more to segment the stores as they were originally designed. While she succeeded in removing visible queues from the stores, they were replaced by a mob of frustrated people. Moves by Ahrendts to remove the Genius Bar and encourage online purchases made the in-store experience even more frustrating. As the Apple Store has scaled up, the quality of employees has declined. The gist is that the stores have become more about branding and less about serving customers. In a critical look at the state of the retail Apple Store business, Mark Gurman and Matthew Townsend of Bloomberg spoke with current and former employees, who anonymously shared similar sentiments. That’s certainly what we heard when Apple announced that Angela Ahrendts was stepping down as head of Apple retail (see “ TidBITS Reader Thoughts on the Ahrendts-Era Apple Stores,” 13 February 2019). ![]() Many Apple users believe that the Apple Store has declined in recent years, with employees who aren’t as knowledgeable as they used to be, and who wander around the store ignoring customers.

![]() ![]() Why would someone want to reset an Anki card? The sole purpose of using Anki is to use Spaced Repetition technique to remember stuff. This question just doesn’t make sense to me. This method works the best to combine Anki decks. Step 8: Finally, repeat steps 1 to 3 to Sync again on AnkiDroid Step 6: Now, click Change deck in the menu and select the deck where you would like to move the cards Also, you can use command control to select all the notes in a deck if you would like to move them all. Step 5: Now, select a card you would like to move first, and then use shift commands to select multiple notes. Step 4: Next, on your PC or Mac, hit Sync Now on Anki Desktop Step 1: On your AnkiApp, tap the Menu button So here’s the best way to combine Anki decks. Although this method works well to combine Anki decks, it will still be a pain to individually move notes between decks. This doesn’t solve the ground issue as the decks are imported with their original names.Īnother solution is to individually move notes from one deck to another. What most Anki Users do is, export the decks and name them all the same and import them back to the app. Read on! How to combine Anki decks?Ī common problem faced by AnkiApp users is that the app often says “You’ve got too many decks.” One possible solution to this is to merge or combine decks which are more or less the same.

Mark’s non-winter recreational pursuits include canoeing, flat water kayaking, hiking, backpacking, biking and climbing-and he wants to try fly fishing this year. I also earned my PSIA level III in alpine ski instruction as part of the program…I used the degree and taught at several resorts across the west for about 10 years after.” We had to earn over 100 credit hours in skiing, a second language, and a background in psychology as well as kinesiology. ![]() In 1980, in conjunction with Taos Ski Valley, Mark explains, there was “a degree program attempting to create a better ski professional. Mark also has an AA degree in skiing from New Mexico Highlands University. “Watching as someone feels a new movement pattern working is such a marvelous gift.” “I love to share the joy that infuses me about every aspect of skiing-the mountains, the weather, the light, the grace of snow riders,” he says. Now he teaches telemark and alpine skiing at 49 Degrees North. He is assistant manager at Mountain Gear, and since 1972 has been a ski instructor, starting his career at Lookout Pass. In many ways, Mark’s life revolves around skiing and outdoor recreation. “Let’s just say I drive a little and hike a lot.” “Pressure is increasing on some of these places and more snowmobiles are finding them too,” he says. His favorite ski companions include his wife, Anna, and good friends.Īlthough unwilling to disclose his favorite backcountry slopes, Mark says many of them are near Lookout Pass. Locally, Mark’s favorite places for inbound skiing are Lookout Pass, 49 Degrees North and Schweitzer. “With the new gear today, telemark skiing is much easier, more powerful-easier on my body,” says Mark, age 51. We used knotted ropes under the skis for uphill traction before discovering climbing skins. “The early telemark skis were referred to as ‘hippy sticks.’ I started putting the 3-pin bindings on old alpine skis just because it was much easier to turn them. Like most folks at the time I started out with double camber cross-country skis,” he says. The skis sometimes had metal edges, sometimes without. “The boots were just low hiking boots with a thicker sole, with little to no control over the skis. His first boots were Oslo Snow Pines with 3-pin bindings. Watching a good tele skier is magic-nearly everyone will watch for a moment.” I find the whole experience to be much more fluid and graceful than alpine skiing. “…Telemark will build more quadriceps and glutes than most other snow sliding tools. “I am apparently built for telemark-my knees feel better after a day of this kind of skiing rather than alpine ,” he says. I guess I wanted more of an adventure,” says Mark Beattie, now a 30-year veteran of the sport. “I STARTED TELEMARK BECAUSE I was getting bored with alpine and just skiing inbounds. ![]() If we don't change this policy, we will have to quit being Ghibli. We need to stop assembling staff to make a film only to dismiss them once the project is completed. To prevent creative stagnation, Miyazaki help a belief that, "To keep Ghibli going, we must create a proper corporate structure. We want to create an attractive workplace and maintain it." We need to hire new staff, train and nurture them, and we also need to improve work conditions for our experienced staff. ![]() Since we have had some financial success, we have to take the risk and reinvest what we have accumulated. The formal establishment of the studio signaled a sea change for Miyazaki, "We can no longer overcome inferior working conditions by staff spirit alone. Hara would be retained as producer for a handful of the studio's early films. Toru Hara, president of Topcraft, then sold the company to Toshio Suzuki and Takahata, renaming it to "Studio Ghibli". The film was eventually produced by Topcraft, which went bankrupt on June 15, 1985, shortly after the film was released. Suzuki, who worked as a tabloid reporter before working at Animage, was the lynchpin that helped convince Miyazaki to pursue his manga work for Nausicaä and eventually create its film adaptation. Its origins date back to 1984, with the film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which was popularized as a serialized manga in a publication of Tokuma Shoten's Animage magazine after the original screenplay was rejected. The building remains (bottom), along with the original coffee shop on the ground floor.įounded on June 15, 1985, the studio is headed by Hayao Miyazaki along with Isao Takahata, as well as the studio's executive managing director and producer Toshio Suzuki. The office of Studio Ghibli (top) in 1985, located at the 2nd Ino Building near Kichijoji Station. They ended up relenting as the name "Ghibli" carried far too much goodwill. Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki were initially reluctant to buy, with Miyazaki proposing the studio go by a new name, "Sirocco". Prior to their independence from Tokuma Shoten in 2005, the name "Ghibli" had to be purchased from Tokuma Shoten. The theory behind the name was that the studio was blowing a new wind into the Japanese anime industry. Though the Italian word is pronounced with a hard /ɡ/, the Japanese pronunciation of the studio's name is, as in with a "soft g". The name "Ghibli" is derived from the nickname the Italians used for their Saharan scouting planes ( Caproni Ca.309 Ghibli) in the Second World War (and later for the AMX International AMX and Maserati Ghibli), which is derived from the Libyan word for hot wind blowing through the Sahara Desert (also known as sirocco).

Or, the bouncy guy who seems to walk on his toes with the incredible calf development, turns his feet out and bounces over the top. Or, they may flatten their arch on their foot and collapse over the top to stumble forward once again. Someone may throw their arm far forward and jut out their jaw to get momentum going in a forward manner, almost a tilt of the body, in an extreme stumble pattern. An athlete’s knee may knock inward, almost buckle, to move the body mass forward. This is very common for people who have wide hips or weak gluteus medius. It is even easier to place the foot centrally, and the hip doesn’t need to swing around. The most common “cheat” is for the hip to rotate outward and swing around the leg that is on the ground. The ankle rocker is, by far, the most efficient manner, but if something has happened at some point that your ankle doesn’t want to bend, your body will compensate or find some other way to move forward. If the ankle is locked, for whatever reason at 90 degrees or less, the body has to find a way for the center of mass to move forward. That movement is the ability of the ankle or body to get the center of mass through the midstance phase and create forward movement. Most people don’t have a problem here because it is a contact response. The heel rocker is the contact phase and begins to move the weight forward. There is heel rocker, ankle rocker, and forefoot rocker. The most efficient way to do so is to go through the “rocker” cycle. So, how can the body move the mass forward in the most efficient way and create momentum forward. While on that leg, the body has to find out a way to move the body’s mass forward. In the gait cycle, a person is on one leg. In fact, I would say it is the most important aspect of the gait. Its purpose is crucial in the gait cycle. In fact, everyone seems to leave the ankle alone (Maybe throw in some calf raises and everything will be OK). However, you will never see a model with a “cankle.” And certainly, you do not see debates over the proper way to train ankle function. It is a very complex joint that has a bunch of muscles that do a bunch of things. On the other end of the chain is the ankle. I have also had athletes that have great glutes but are still not explosive, and this is where it gets interesting. However, no pun intended–I can’t pass on cheap puns–I like to make an ass of myself. Put him face down on a table and see the proportion of his glutes to the rest of his body, and you will see that he has a well-developed gluteal muscle. Some of you will ask about the skinny guy who can run and jump. I have yet to see a great athlete who did not have great gluteal development. I like his work so much that some of the movements in his book are staples of our weight room workouts. The power muscle is the glute max, and his work shows the most efficient way of developing that muscle. Here is a guy who put some research behind the movements and then wrote about it in his variety of books, which I own and recommend people read. The next phase was on to Bret Contreras with the hip extension exercise and research. Now, we have cleans, snatches, and pulls, all with the goal of driving hip extension. When NSCA finally took sides on the issue, they became “institutionalized,” which of course opened up a whole new realm of training techniques, DVDs, certifications, and, why not, kettlebells and the rise of that industry. Yes, that was a debate for a couple of years. ![]() When research surfaced that showed Olympic lifters had a block time similar if not better than sprinters, the war began between coaches who hated the Olympic lifts and those who swore by them. Remember that one, lie on your back and scissor your legs against the counter-balance? It was a great concept. ![]() Throw in the Nautilus machine for hip extension. ATG, parallel, pause, wide stance, narrow stance, high bar, etc., all are trying to drive hip extension, so we have more explosive, powerful athletes. Get into the squat rack and start cranking out the squats. Boyd Epley, Bigger, Faster, Stronger, and a whole bunch more have made a fortune on this concept. Hence, the rise of the weight room in athletics. Some people think the way to develop hip extension is through powerlifting. This is the path that has driven our industry. ![]() The stronger or more powerful your thrust, the faster and farther you will go. It is the thrust that drives your athlete forward or up, or both. Hip extension is the name of the game in athletic development. ![]() ![]() Use the mortgage payoff calculator and see how fast you can pay off your home! But if you switch to a 15-year mortgage with a lower interest rate, you’ll save almost $100,000-and you’ll pay off your home in half the time! If you keep the 30-year mortgage, you’ll pay more than $158,000 in total interest over the life of the loan. Let’s see how this would impact our earlier example. Based on our example, you’ll pay your mortgage off a year early, saving over $6,000 in the process.Īnother way to pay off your mortgage early is to trade it in for a better loan with a lower interest rate and a shorter term-like a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage. Put Andrew Jackson to work for you by adding just $20 to your mortgage payment each month. Even small sacrifices can go a long way to help pay off your mortgage early. Based on our example above of the $220,000 loan, that $100 in lunch money will help you pay off your mortgage almost five years ahead of schedule and save you over $27,000 in interest!Ĭan’t quite spare a whole $100 from your food budget? No worries. Suppose packing your lunch frees up $100 to use toward your mortgage every month. But trading lunch out for eating in can make you a lean, mean, mortgage-free machine. Sure, bringing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to work every day isn’t as fun as going to a restaurant with your coworkers. So if your lender only lets you pay biweekly by charging you a fee, don’t sign up. The real reason it helps pay off your mortgage faster is because your extra payments add up to 13 monthly payments per year instead of the standard 12. Remember, there’s nothing magical about them. Based on our example above, that extra payment can knock four years off a 30-year mortgage and save you over $25,000 in interest.Īre biweekly mortgage payments a good idea?Ī biweekly payment plan can be a good idea-but never pay extra fees to sign up for one. That results in 26 half-payments, which equals 13 full monthly payments each year. This means you can make half of your mortgage payment every two weeks. Some mortgage lenders allow you to sign up for biweekly mortgage payments. What does paying your mortgage biweekly do? ![]() You can accomplish the same goal all by yourself.
