You’ve also got access to a huge number of useful tools which allow you to do a multitude of things. You can remove powerlines, change sky’s effortlessly, clean up dust marks from your sensor and apply presets in seconds. You’ve got Portrait Bokah, you’ve got Mask Ai and you’ve got Relight Ai. With this latest release Skylum have now delivered all of the key tools they promised.

The home features all the trends that fill Instagram feeds: a slight industrial influence, a restrained color scheme with pops of color, and tons of natural light. The boundary-pushing design of the fireplace works perfectly with the loftlike feel of the living room in this four-bedroom, three-bath home. Here’s a fireplace that reaches for the sky … and gets as far as the ceiling. Made from the same striking black marble as the nearby bar, the sleek, wall-sized fireplace showcases a mesmerizing “row” of flames that bring warmth to the streamlined space. It would take a truly spectacular feature to grab your attention away from such a vista - and this fireplace does just that. Essentially encased in glass and perched high above Los Angeles, CA, in the exclusive enclave of Bel Air, this masterpiece boasts breathtaking views as far as the eye can see. Add this one to the list: It’s a jaw-dropping eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom contemporary estate (though “Bond villain lair” might be the best descriptor) designed by star architect Paul McClean. Sometimes you see a property so incredible that it can’t even be called a “house.” One so unbelievable, you can’t believe a real human being could possibly live there. Interestingly enough, such a conceptual space is found in a building that dates back to 1890.Įxtravagantly edgy: $49.995 million, 864 Stradella Road, Los Angeles, CA 90077 It’s paneled in a golden wood that keeps the fireplace from feeling overwhelming while unifying this standout feature with the rest of the home. Designed by renowned architect Graham Gund, the open-concept interior is dominated by a two-story fireplace with a unique silhouette defined by a curved top and round cutout. This condo, located in that enviable neighborhood, puts the stereotype to rest. When you think of Beacon Hill homes, you probably come up with an image of a very traditional townhome. Postmodern paneling: $6.95 million, 5 Byron St., Boston, MA 02108 Go on, steal a few fireplace designs from these flaming-hot living room centerpieces. And some of us are luckier still to have an exquisitely designed version that is closer to a work of art than a heat source - such is the case with these homes for sale in Boston, MA, to Cusick, WA. Some of us are lucky to have a fireplace to call our own. (Don’t fret there’s always the Yule log on TV.) It’s a feature most of us yearn for as soon as the calendar hits December, even if we live in a modern apartment complex. The mantel lends itself well to holiday decor, while the crackling fire provides the best excuse to stay home on a Saturday night. Confusing climate trends aside, there’s nothing quite like a fireplace in the wintertime. ![]() ![]() ![]() I would strongly recommend only running on pavement in these shoes. The full covered rubber outsole does provide more rigidity for a snappier toe-off while running. I wish they could use the Adidas Stretchweb technology to save some weight, but the lattice structured midsole probably requires full rubber coverages, unlike many other midsole technologies. Running tight corners, light gravel areas, or wet pavement has been a non-issue. ![]() Regardless, the outsole has been exceptional for me. I have seen some sources claiming that the 4D Run 1.0 uses Continental Rubber, but I’ve seen no evidence of this on the shoe’s branding or on the Adidas website. ![]() If you have a wider foot and still want to give the 4D Run a try, I’d suggest sizing up. The upper is relatively stretchy and can expand to accommodate a wider foot, but I’d be concerned about hot spots. My foot runs on the narrower side, but I think wider feet may have some problems, and Adidas doesn’t offer a wide-size option. The 4D Run 1.0 fit true to size for me, and I had no issues with hot spots or blistering. Once you get the tongue right, it will stay in place. It is non-gusseted and tends to bunch up if you try to slip on the shoe instead of lace-up. The step-in feel is quite nice with a substantial insert for extra cushioning and a nicely padded heel collar and Achilles notch which provides exceptional lockdown. It is one of the best uppers I have experienced in a shoe. The upper is made with something called Primeblue, which uses ocean plastic, and is surprisingly stretchy, soft, and breathable. Comfortable and breathableĪdidas uses recyclable material to create this shoe, but don’t let that dissuade you it is extremely comfortable. This is the GTX HOKA version with the Vibram grip, so you would expect this to be a heavier shoe, but it is still lighter than the 4D Run. For comparison, my HOKA Speedgoat 4 is 14 oz (397g). For my size of 12.5 US, it weighs 15oz (425g). The Adidas website lists the weight at 11.2oz for a men’s size 9 and a women’s size 10. The first time I picked up the shoe and held it in my hand, I could feel that it was bottom-heavy, with the majority of the weight residing in the mid and outsole. The 4D Run 1.0 is a fattyĭespite its beauty, the 4D Run 1.0 could stand to lose some weight. This shoe is more fashion than function, in my opinion, much like the Adidas Ultraboost. The TPU heel counter gives it an extra bit of style (blue spirit), and the Primeknit upper is the icing on the cake. ![]() The 3D-printed lattice midsole looks extremely modern, especially with how the heel flares out. There are no reflective elements for nighttime running, which is pretty standard for Adidas running shoes. Adidas offers four other colors, and the shoe is being sold as gender-neutral. I received the color Dash Grey/Signal Coral/Blue Spirit, and I love the combination, especially for summertime. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the moment I pulled the 4Ds out of the box, I was impressed with the style and could not wait to get them on my feet. The technology of the 3D-printed lattice midsole does seem to work at absorbing pressure and adapting to your foot. My times were surprisingly good considering the weight on the shoe, and it did not feel as heavy once you hit your paces. When I was landing on my heels, there was a bit of sinking in feel, and it did not transition well in my strides. The ride is much better if you are a mid to forefoot runner. It was barely noticeable, even when running on bigger rocks. Despite this, I felt low to the ground while running, so I intentionally tried to find some rocks to run on to test if I could feel it underfoot. The midsole is rather substantial, with 28mm in the heel and 18mm in the forefoot. The feeling was firm with a bit of bounce, and it took some time to find my rhythm and get a comfortable cadence. On my first run, I realized that the 3D-printed lattice midsole was not bouncy like Boost or plush like many maximalist running shoes you find at the weight of the 4D Run. Surprisingly smooth ride in the 4D Run 1.0 These will not do well for you during speed work or fartleks as the weight will prevent you from increasing your cadence as much as is needed. I find the 4D Run 1.0 best suited for medium to medium-long runs, which I consider in a range of 5 to 13 miles.
![]() ![]() eBay does take a small cut of the profit when selling through their site, so make sure your earnings don't diminish over other methods. ![]() This increased value comes from a direct sale to the buyer with no third party in the middle taking their cut. Right now, Xbox One 500GB models are fetching close to $150 or lower, and Xbox One X is reaching $250. Provided that you're asking for a reasonable price and offering enough photos and descriptions, it's not difficult to get traction with a sale on eBay.īefore listing your item, take a look around at the pricing of Xbox One consoles currently for sale. Selling your Xbox One to GameStopĪs one of the most popular online auction sites, eBay serves as a platform for thousands of second-hand Xbox One sales monthly. Between some attractive photography and an in-depth listing, you'll see a significant increase in your revenue. If you're willing to spend a little more time on your sale, setting up an online listing can be a great way to receive more for your console. However, you'll be getting a fixed, smaller return on your initial investment. Selling your console to these vendors will be easier and guarantees a sale. With all those involved hoping to make a profit, retailers will offer significantly less, so they're able to make a hefty markup on the pre-owned hardware. While retailers will buy working consoles with no questions asked, they are a third party between the previous owner and a new buyer. Setting up an online listing is a great way to receive more for your console. However, online auction sites can often bring in higher profits. Many video game retailers buy second-hand consoles. Now that you've prepared your console, it's time to choose where you want to sell it.

However, make sure your listings are honest and don't hide any significant scratching or dents to the console. Earlier Xbox One consoles, which featured a glossy casing, are more prone to scratches and harder to conceal. Between a quick dusting and some polish to shine up glossy surfaces, your console will be more attractive both in-person and online.

![]() This results in leakage, like when the float valve breaks, and makes it so that water constantly leaks from the overflow tube into the bowl. Though this is one of the less common reasons for a toilet that runs continuously, sometimes the overflow pipe cracks. Replacing the valve should resolve the issue, as you are repairing the part of the toilet that allowed for water to escape. However, if the float is set too high, this causes your toilet to keep running, because the water hits the overflow tube before it can hit the float.Ī broken float valve is one that allows for water to leak, which is another potential reason why your toilet keeps running. The float is the part of your toilet that affects when the water flow in your toilet stops, by signalling that the water levels in the tank of your toilet have reached the designated height. Adjusting the chain can make it so that it runs as it should. If it is too long, it can get stuck under the flapper. If your flapper chain is too short, the flapper can’t seal, resulting in a toilet that keeps running. Related to your flapper is the flapper chain, which is the chain that connects the flapper to the handle, telling it when to seal and when to open. Shortening the refill tube will prevent this constant flow of water. If your refill tube is too long, this can cause your toilet to keep running, since the water is constantly going from the tank to the overflow valve. The refill tube is the part of your toilet that flows from the toilet fill valve to the overflow tube. Replacing your toilet flapper will resolve the issue. Since the seal prevents that constant flow of water is worn out, this can result in an endless flow. Worn out flappers allow for water to constantly slip from your toilet’s tank into the bowl. One of the most common reasons behind a toilet that won’t stop running is a flapper in need of replacing. Your toilet flapper is what acts as a seal between the bowl of your toilet and your toilet’s tank. ![]() Loosening your handle so that it can move freely can cause your toilet to stop running. Stuck handles are typically an easy fix, since they typically get stuck as a result of being too tight for your toilet. If your handle is stuck, this can cause your toilet to run when it doesn’t need to. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, if the IRS uses the 2019 tax return, this individual might be disqualified from receiving a COVID-19 stimulus check or will receive a greatly reduced amount. For example, someone may have made $125,000 during tax year 2019, but suddenly lost their job in early April 2020 causing their total income for 2020 to take a nosedive. This is noteworthy because your 2019 tax return may not be reflective of your current income status. Many Americans lost their jobs or had their hours reduced dramatically, which is likely going to impact their total income for tax year 2020. Change in Income Can Affect How Much Stimulus Money You Receive The government typically uses recent tax filings to determine an individual’s income in most cases. For example, only individuals making less than $75,000 are eligible to receive the full $600. Fourth, your income will dictate how much you receive. Second, you must not be claimed as a dependent on another individual’s tax return. ![]() First, you must have a valid Social Security number. Eligibility Requirements to Receive a Coronavirus Relief Stimulus CheckĪs mentioned earlier, recipients of disability benefits are not excluded from receiving the stimulus checks, but there are specific requirements that must be met in order to qualify for these funds. Generally, to qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you need to have worked in an area of employment covered by Social Security and received a diagnosis for a medical condition that has left you disabled and unable to work. The process of assessing eligibility for disability benefits is not dependent upon on your income or assets. If you are concerned that receiving a stimulus check will hurt your chances of receiving social security disability benefits, do not fret. Impact of the Coronavirus Stimulus Check on Your Eligibility for Disability Benefits In addition, if you have a child under the age of 17, you will likely receive an extra $600 check. If you filed your federal taxes jointly, there is a chance you will receive a $1,200 check. The legislation stipulates that, in general, individuals currently receiving disability benefits are eligible for the Coronavirus relief checks. If the bill is officially enacted, many Americans should expect to receive a check from the federal government for $600 per person. ![]() Though, as of the date of this post, the President has yet to officially sign the bill into law.

They place utility workers at risk of shock and electrocution.“We can’t guarantee how people are going to handle these out in the real world,” Sargent says. “The gloves are most likely not a properly voltage-rated garment,” he says. And people could trip over a male-to-male extension cord and expose the live end, leaving them and others vulnerable to shocks or electrocution. For instance, do-it-yourselfers who use protective equipment for their home projects could wrongly assume that their protective gloves are sufficient to handle the plug, Sargent says. Even people who think they know what they’re doing could get hurt or killed.Here’s specifically what’s wrong with using a male-to-male extension cord: Why Male-to-Male Extension Cords Are So Dangerous ![]() (We found mentions of these extension cords online going back to 2005.) And while you can find videos and web pages online saying they’re safe if used properly, most commenters make it clear these plugs have earned their gruesome nicknames for a reason. Sargent says do-it-yourselfers have been making them for years. We found male-to-male extension cords for sale through major online channels like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart for less than $20. But the setup will never meet local electrical codes and poses a significant risk for injury, Sargent says. In theory, using a male-to-male extension cord allows users to get electricity from their generators without using long extension cords or costly safety devices such as transfer switches (see more on those below). Instead of the electricity coming from municipal power lines through your home’s circuit breaker panel to outlets throughout the home, the electricity travels from the generator through the male-to-male extension cord and then through the receptacle it’s plugged into-and then into your home’s electrical system to power outlets. The idea is that power will backfeed-it will flow in the direction opposite to the way it usually goes. They plug one end of the cord into the generator and the other end into a receptacle in or on their house. People have been known to use a three-pronged male-to-male extension cord to attach a gasoline- or propane-powered portable generator to their home’s electric systems after a power outage. (We spotted online a four-pronged male-to-male extension cord “recommended” to connect a generator to a clothes dryer.) How a Male-to-Male extension Cord Works Same for a four-pronged, 250-volt male-to-male extension cord, he adds. The 120 volts that a three-pronged male-to-male extension cord carries is enough to kill you, Sargent says. “Shock hazard” means you’re at risk of more than a slight buzz. “If I happen to hold the exposed metal end, there’s a shock hazard,” says Jeff Sargent, senior electrical specialist at the National Fire Protection Association in Quincy, Mass. ![]() ![]() QuickBooks offers four primary certification types:įor each certification, applicants must earn an 80 percent or higher on the QuickBooks’ 81-question certification exam.ĭepending on clientele, some professionals earn multiple certifications.

As Page Six exclusively reported, Styles, 26, and Wilde, 36, were. It’s unclear how long Wilde and Styles have been together, but it’s likely a pretty recent development: Wilde, who is ten years Styles’s senior, ended a seven-year engagement to Jason Sudeikis in 2020, and she recently cast Styles in her upcoming film, Don’t Worry Darling, which is probably how they met. The actress/director, who is currently dating Harry Styles, was married to Tao Ruspoli and once engaged to Jason Sudeikis. Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde made their debut as a couple at his agent Jeff Azoff’s wedding over the weekend. Things seem to be going in the right Direction for. They are also both sporting face masks from the Vampire’s Wife, a brand that was recently spotlighted in that viral profile of Martin Shkreli’s ex-girlfriend. Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are still going strong nearly a year after Page Six broke the news that they were dating. Wilde is wearing a flowy floral gown, and Styles is dressed in a thigh-hugging wide-legged suit (both Gucci - I guess you’re forced to wear it if you’re dating Harry Styles?). The photos show Wilde and Styles clasping hands, the latter while balancing a crystal glass of whiskey precariously on his palm. Photos of Wilde and Styles holding hands at the wedding surfaced on Monday, and while neither party has confirmed the relationship, TMZ calls them “very much together,” which, yep, they very much look to be. They were in Montecito, California this weekend for a wedding. The big reveal happened last weekend at the California wedding of a guy named Jeff, who is Styles’s agent.
