Now let’s get started… The Gmail SMTP Server Method We can even help you set up your Gmail alias so you don’t hurt deliverability. Most importantly, it helps you keep your personal Gmail address private. It allows you to send Gmail messages from your business ID and even test emails to yourself. This method also provides the same level of security as the Google Workspace method.Īdditionally, it lets you forward emails through a Gmail alias if you’ve set one up.Ī Gmail alias is a forwarding address that lets you disguise your personal email address.įor example, could be an alias for to receive queries about their business. It lets you send mail to anyone within or outside your organization - you only need to set up the SMTP authentication with your Gmail inbox ID and password. Plus, the Google SMTP server setting won’t restrict your emails to people using your organization’s IP address. With the Gmail SMTP service, you won’t have to worry about spending on a subscription plan. Gmail’s SMTP server method is the most accessible one out of the three - which is precisely why we’re covering this method. Why Should You Use the Gmail SMTP Server Method?

As long as one party is a Smallpdf Pro member, you’ll get a digital signature instead of an electronic one. If you have a Pro account, signees will also have access to digital sealing when signing PDFs with our service. You just add their name and email address, and we’ll send them a request to sign your document. ![]() If you need to request signatures, the “invite signees” functionality lets you invite others to sign your document using a digital signature. For more information on digital signatures, check out our blog article, “ Digital Signatures Explained.” Other Things You Could DoĪfter uploading your PDF into eSign, you can add text or a date field to the document, in case you want to add the time and place next to the signature field. Depending on your local legislation and the purpose of your document, you may or may not need to create a digital signature. Think of it as a plain image without a digital fingerprint. If you are a free user, electronic signing is available for limited free use, although you won’t be able to validate the signature. Converting a document, for example, from PDF to Word, after digitally signing it will also break the digital signature seal. Because of this, don’t update or alter the content of your legal documents once you sign them so as not to invalidate the signature. And last, but most certainly not least, you’ll be able to see that the document hasn’t been changed since the time of signing. ![]() You’ll also see a timestamp documenting the time the signature was created. ![]() When validating the signature, you’ll see Smallpdf as the signee. With it comes an LTV-enabled timestamp, which you can validate using a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Sign. When you sign your PDF as a Pro user, we create what’s called an “advanced electronic signature”-the technical name for digital signatures.

However, the cPanel user is not strictly a “sudo” user who can invoke root privileges as needed.įor this reason, it is often recommended that you avoid using the root user for everyday tasks. Those of you familiar with managed VPS hosting with cPanel will be familiar with how the cPanel account doubles as an SSH user with appropriate access. There are some similarities and distinctions between the sudo user and the cPanel user, for traditional VPS users. Likewise, using your root user account to make changes to your system can be inconvenient when creating files that must be shared with other users or the world - like the public files of your website.

This has exposed every fracking company to the volatility of the global oil market. Global market forces, not our abundance of domestic fossil fuels, set the price of oil and gasoline in the United States. Since Congress lifted the ban on oil exports in 2015, all American-drilled oil and some of our natural gas have been priced on the international market. oil companies have developed the opposite of independence. oil industry as it exists today, there is no way to spin up new oil production in a few weeks or months. Now Texas oil comes from modern horizontal fracking wells, which take six to eight months to produce their first drop of oil. Texas’s easy-to-reach resources have since dried up, so the commission no longer plays its price-setting role. The Texas Railroad Commission opened and closed the state’s formidable taps. But this happened, remarkably, at the state level. During the first half of the 20th century, when America truly dominated the global oil industry, one government in the United States actually was able to set prices at the global level in the same way that the OPEC Plus cartel does today. It has no policy tool to quickly increase or decrease drilling. The federal government does not claim any right to the oil or gas under private land. ![]() The United States does not take this approach to its fossil fuels. They consider fossil-fuel production to be a question of national security, and they regulate it as such. For geological and political reasons, they maintain some spare capacity, that is, oil-pumping capacity that can be turned on and off within six months. ![]() ![]() When oil prices leap worldwide, major oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are able to insulate their citizens from the shock.

Energy independence has neither insulated the economy from geopolitics nor provided the U.S. gas prices to more than $4.10 a gallon, setting a new all-time high. As he spoke, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed U.S. But what a funny kind of independence it is. On paper, “we are energy independent,” John Hess, the CEO of Hess, said yesterday at CERAWeek, the energy industry’s annual conference. Since 2018, the United States has been the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. Perhaps it could even abandon its costly military bases in the Middle East. produced its own fossil fuels, the thinking went, then it would be protected from faraway wars and crises. The project failed, but since then every president from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama has aimed for “energy independence.” (Donald Trump, with characteristic flair, modulated this to “energy dominance.”) If the U.S. In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced Project Independence, a campaign to wean America off foreign oil by 1980. The episode reveals the power-and problems-of a vision that has guided U.S. If they had been carrying Qatari gas, they would have gone all the same. In late December, European natural-gas prices stood at then-record highs. No, the tankers’ journey to Europe was choreographed by the same force that every year sends cardiologists to Florida: abundant and profligate demand. The freedom-loving people of Houston had not donated gas to their Lithuanian kin. The ships, after all, did not change course because the State Department had requisitioned the gas. Or … does it? Upon closer inspection, the fleet demonstrated not the raw power of American industry, but the inescapable supremacy of the market. (The institute, despite its scholastic name, is Washington’s leading lobbyist for the oil-and-gas industry.) “As in World War II and other crises, America has Europe’s back,” Mike Sommers, the chief executive of the American Petroleum Institute, wrote last week. Now, thanks to the U.S.-invented technology of hydrofracturing, or fracking, the country produces more gas than it can consume. As recently as the mid-2000s, energy companies fretted that the U.S. This represented more than a minor milestone in global energy history. supplied more natural gas to Europe than Russia did. On the days they pulled into port, the U.S. In December, in a ballet of global logistics, more than 30 tankers ferrying liquid natural gas from the United States to various destinations around the globe-Japan, Brazil, South Africa-canceled their trips and set a new course for the European Union. ![]() ![]() ![]() You’ll usually find this icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.

![]() Lightroom Classic CC has been a lifesaver for me because they have a Book module within the program, which means I can create my photo books without ever leaving Lightroom. It’s one of my favourite things to look back on, even now, and I know these will become even more precious as time goes by. I usually create an family photo book for each year, with photos taken over the year. One of the things I love to do is create photo books. That seems to me like a massive headache further down the line!Īgain, if you are low volume shooter, this isn’t a problem! But if you take 10,000 photos a year, and you’ve been using it for 5 years - that’s a LOT of time and energy used up in the future. If I used Lightroom CC, then I would need to download every single photo from the cloud in order to not pay for the storage. In fact, I can continue to use the Library module in Lightroom, but not the Develop module. Should I decide in the future that I’m done with photography, or the amount dwindles to next to nothing and I no longer want Lightroom, with Lightroom Classic CC, I simply stop paying for it, and my photos are safe and sound on my hard drive and I need do nothing. I’m always “future proofing” as much as I can, and trying to save myself work and time in the longer term. ![]() #2 - Photos Stored Locally not in the Cloud (Volume 2) ![]() If you are a low volume shooter, or only take photos with your phone camera etc, then Lightroom CC is perfect for you….but for anyone who shoots more than that, you will be paying a LOT over the term for photo storage. (To put this in perspective, I back up all my photos to SmugMug at $60 per year, for unlimited storage AND it doubles as my viewing gallery!)Īnd that number would only rise as I keep going - AND I’d have to pay that every year for the rest of my life :) It costs an another $9.99 per month for each extra TB of storage, which means that I’d be paying a HUGE amount of money each month just for photo storage. That means that the Lightroom CC plan at $9.99 is not enough for me at 1TB. I have nearly 4TB worth of photos stored so far, and that number will only keep growing year on year. ![]() I personally prefer to have my photos stored locally, and here’s why… With Lightroom Classic, you store the photos locally, on your desktop, or in an external hard drive (I recommend the latter) With Lightroom CC, the photos are stored in the cloud, in Adobe’s online servers. One of the big differences between Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom CC is how and where your photos are stored. #1 - Photos stored locally, not in the cloud (Volume 1) ![]() ![]() To retrieve the data as a ame you’ll need your Airtable API key. First library(airtabler), then library(dplyr). Now that you have devtools and bergant/airtabler installed you need load them into the session to be used. Read on to learn more about the basics of Webhooks API in Airtable. Next you need to generate the airtable API key from your Airtable account page. The Webhooks API allows developers to be notified in real-time about changes in their base that they care about, from newly created records to a field being updated in an existing record, to a record moving in or out of a view. Now you need to install Darko Bergant’s package.ĭevtools::install_github("bergant/airtabler") To install devtools all you need to do is run install.packages("devtools"). And finally, new API endpoints like Webhook, Sync, and more provide even more options when producing the specific integrations you need for your apps. There are a couple of different R packages that you can use but I used Darko Bergant’s package from GitHub. If you use Airtable you can create a database, set up column types, add records, link tables to one another, collaborate, sort records and publish views to external websites! As we are demonstrating, you can also link up with different interfaces: in our case this will be R, to use, and manipulate the data with code. ![]() The fields in an Airtable table are similar to cells in a spreadsheet, but have types such as ‘checkbox’, ‘phone number’, and ‘drop-down list’, and can reference file attachments like images.

This is because more than one IE can be defined by removing successive electrons (if the atom has them to begin with): A(g) → A +(g) + e − IE 1 A +(g) → A 2+(g) + e − IE 2 A 2+(g) → A 3+(g) + e − IE 3Įach successive IE is larger than the previous because an electron is being removed from an atom with a progressively larger positive charge. IE also shows an interesting trend within a given atom. Again, the trend isn’t absolute, but the general trends going across and down the periodic table should be obvious.įigure 8.20 Ionization Energy on the Periodic Table However, as you go across the periodic table and the electrons get drawn closer in, it takes more energy to remove an electron as a result, IE increases: as → PT, IE ↑įigure 8.20 "Ionization Energy on the Periodic Table" shows values of IE versus position on the periodic table. As you go down the periodic table, it becomes easier to remove an electron from an atom (i.e., IE decreases) because the valence electron is farther away from the nucleus. It is always positive because the removal of an electron always requires that energy be put in (i.e., it is endothermic). IE is usually expressed in kJ/mol of atoms. is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase: A(g) → A + (g) + e − Δ H ≡ IE Ionization energy (IE) The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase. Referring only to a periodic table and not to Figure 8.19 "Atomic Radii Trends on the Periodic Table", which atom is smaller, Ca or Br? S is above Te on the periodic table, so Te is larger because as you go down the column, the atoms get larger.Si is to the left of S on the periodic table, so it is larger because as you go across the row, the atoms get smaller. ![]() Referring only to a periodic table and not to Figure 8.19 "Atomic Radii Trends on the Periodic Table", which atom is larger in each pair? Again, we can summarize this trend as follows: as → PT, atomic radius ↓įigure 8.19 "Atomic Radii Trends on the Periodic Table" shows spheres representing the atoms of the s and p blocks from the periodic table to scale, showing the two trends for the atomic radius. The increasing positive charge casts a tighter grip on the valence electrons, so as you go across the periodic table, the atomic radii decrease. This is because although the valence shell maintains the same principal quantum number, the number of protons-and hence the nuclear charge-is increasing as you go across the row. Going across a row on the periodic table, left to right, the trend is different. This trend can be summarized as follows: as ↓ PT, atomic radius ↑ This is because the valence electron shell is getting a larger and there is a larger principal quantum number, so the valence shell lies physically farther away from the nucleus. Such radii can be estimated from various experimental techniques, such as the x-ray crystallography of crystals.Īs you go down a column of the periodic table, the atomic radii increase. Although the concept of a definite radius of an atom is a bit fuzzy, atoms behave as if they have a certain radius. The atomic radius An indication of the size of the atom. The first periodic trend we will consider atomic radius. There may be a few points where an opposite trend is seen, but there is an overall trend when considered across a whole row or down a whole column of the periodic table. There is no other tool in science that allows us to judge relative properties of a class of objects like this, which makes the periodic table a very useful tool. The variation of properties versus position on the periodic table is called periodic trends Variation of properties versus position on the periodic table. One of the reasons the periodic table is so useful is because its structure allows us to qualitatively determine how some properties of the elements vary versus their position on the periodic table. Be able to state how certain properties of atoms vary based on their relative position on the periodic table. ![]() ![]() Frame or link to the LAX Wine & Spirits Site except as permitted in writing by LAX Wine & Spirits.Unauthorized individuals attempting to access or tamper with these areas may be subject to prosecution.
