If there’s a fourth number listed, then it represents the lens height at its tallest point. You can use a glasses ruler that’s specifically used to measure your eyes for a more accurate home measurement. If you want to measure an old pair of glasses, find the width between the lenses at their narrowest point. Bridge sizes that are too narrow could pinch the sides of your nose, but too wide of a bridge could make your glasses slide off your face....

Supply chain issues at the beginning of lockdown have given way to a general feeling that these devices are almost indispensable. Millions of people have relied on them to work from home, in addition to their existing uses for communication, shopping and content consumption/creation. However, this regular demand for new technology is at odds with the other pressing global threat – climate change. Many companies have supply chains that stretch across the planet, while the complex manufacturing process makes these devices almost impossible to recycle....

This is generally dependant on how their skills and stats synergize. A Dota 2 hero can only be a hard carry when they have some innate quality that helps them farm around the map at an above-average rate. This is the underlying principle of the game balance. A carry that wants to farm to scale exceptionally well in the late game is a “greedy pick” because their need for early game farm leaves them vulnerable....

Recognizing Infectious Organisms To do its job, the immune system must understand the difference between a foreign substance and the cells of your own body. The cells and tissues of your body have proteins called self-antigens. Likewise, living organisms that can cause infections do too, though their antigens are not the same. Your immune system “flags” foreign antigens to quickly target the invading microorganisms and destroy them, protecting you from harm....

Successful world-building is key if a game wants to be able to progress beyond the limits of its first entry, and the Mass Effect series is a perfect example of this. Granted, Mass Effect: Andromeda abandoned a lot of the elements of the first three games and moved the action to another galaxy entirely, but the majority of the Mass Effect story takes place in humanity’s own home galaxy – the Milky Way....

We are already in the new year and the football season has gotten more intense, as our favourite clubs have returned to action across the top domestic divisions in Europe. The Champions League and the Europa League will also return for the knockout phase in February. Both tournaments produced a lot of surprises last season as we witnessed several magical moments, many eye-catching performances, and a lot of odd-defying outcomes....

Since the mid-1990s the Net has helped students academically in many ways, allowing them to register for courses online, communicate with professors outside class, connect to the library and do all kinds of sophisticated research. But now the Net also serves as the thread that binds together campus social life. Bulletin-board fliers, sticky notes on dorm-room doors, even the telephone are fading as methods for conveying information around campus. Nearly all dorm rooms have high-speed Internet access, and today’s Net-savvy college kids–the first generation weaned on the Web–depend on it to navigate their mysterious new world....

The Indian cricket team is all set to go into a full-fledged home series for the first time under the leadership of Kumble and Kohli. Captain Kohli and his team have seen much success in the past few months across formats, however, this will be the first instance of this team having the advantage of playing for an extended period at home. In what will be a long home season, the Indian team will play 12 test matches in the next 6 months and Kohli’s men will kick off a long home season on September 22nd against New Zealand followed by 2 more test matches against the Black Caps....

The SIM card must be activated by your iPhone’s carrier. If you’re attempting to use a SIM card from a carrier other than your own on a carrier-locked phone, you won’t be able to activate your phone. If you bought your iPhone in a carrier’s store, they probably already inserted and activated the SIM for you. If you choose to connect to Wi-Fi, you’ll be prompted to enter the network password....

Although Pillars of Eternity takes inspiration from classic CRPGs and Pentiment draws from both point-and-click adventures and visual novels, both are narratively very similar and have decision-based elements that influence the way the story plays out. These choices greatly enhance the experience of both games as they help immerse the player in their respective worlds and makes them feel like they have agency over the actions of their characters. However, the finales of these games turn this idea on its head by revealing that the player did not have as much influence as they thought they did, with a greater, uncontrollable force guiding events the whole time....

Gamers can take a look his video below, where the YouTuber gives a quaint visual representation of how a virtual transportation system would mirror actual real-life counterparts and tie those in with the game itself, allowing players to travel to actual transport hubs in their area in order to send and receive Pokemon: [HTML1] While this would certainly encourage players to go out and travel (especially if they know they have Pokemon like Mewtwo waiting for them at various destinations), mirroring the schedules of an actual transportation system would put a lot of undue strain on Niantic’s servers, which didn’t exactly handle the global launch of Pokemon GO without problems....

Pokemon Sword and Shield will be the first-ever, generation-introducing Pokemon games to make their way to a home console system (the Nintendo Switch). To mark the occasion, Game Freak plans to pluck from all of the current generations and mix the selected Pokemon with all the brand new ones that will be introduced within Sword and Shield.

Understanding Your Options Many prostate cancers are non-aggressive, and if, left alone, would not pose a problem over the long term. With these tumors, observing the tumor (active surveillance) and treating the tumor only if it shows signs of progressing may be an option. With early prostate cancers that show signs of being aggressive, and in people who are able to tolerate treatments such as surgery, the aim of therapy is usually a cure....

Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, talked about the similarities in how ISIS and QAnon managed to appeal to people to join, and how they also attract the same type of person, during an episode of The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent J.J. Green. Schindler described how, just like QAnon, ISIS propaganda found an audience by being shared online. The difference being most people did not fully comprehend how the beliefs of QAnon, listed as a domestic terrorist threat by the FBI, could escalate into real life violence until their supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6....

The stories that Terry Pratchett was able to craft so expertly have inspired many adventurers and storytellers today. During the interview, Grant Gessel of Stonewheat discussed how he had read Pratchett’s Going Postal, and it had inspired him in a way that translated into KeyWe. Grant also talked about his love for Rare games growing up, and how they would go on to influence the art style of the project....

Out of high school, Moore signed with the Boston Red Sox’s farm system. He played as third baseman from 2011 to 2014, when he was eventually cut from the roster before the 2015 season. He never made it past Single-A. During his time with the Red Sox, he became friends with now Dodgers star Mookie Betts, who was his roommate. Even though Moore poured his heart and soul into baseball for the majority of his life up to 2014, he wasn’t too hurt after flaming out of the minor leagues....

1.) Is there ’testing’ I can do to look and see if any of the passwords are stored locally on my machine ? 2.) Does LastPass store any passwords (in encrypted form, of course) - locally on my machine ? Do other apps enable storing locally encrypted passwords, for example, as an alternative to the LastPass approach ? 3.) Is there a tool to let me watch what data LastPass sends over the network wire to ensure I don’t see any unencrypted passwords being sent out ?...

Social media platforms that fail to stop sexist and racist content could receive heavy fines under a recently proposed bill. Facebook, Twitter, and similar sites must also give users the option of avoiding content that is considered harmful. The move comes as Twitter and other websites come under increasing scrutiny for hosting racist comments. “We need policies in place by social media companies that have a no-tolerance policy around racist comments and that can decipher less egregious forms of racism,” diversity consultant Kim Crowder told Lifewire in an email interview....
