Hp photosmart 7520 ink cartridge problem1/14/2024 You must unplug the power cord to move the carriage by hand and reset the paper feed mechanism without the risk of electrical shock.Ĭheck for any paper or objects that might be restricting the carriage, and then remove any paper or objects that you find. Unplug the power cord from the power source or electrical outlet. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before continuing. The carriage might move into the center of the paper path. If the printer is not turned on, press the Power button ( ) to turn it on. Step one: Check the carriage path for obstructions Solution three: Make sure that the carriage moves freelyįollow these steps to make sure that the carriage moves freely across the width of the printer. Please pay special attention to these parts of the document: Generally, when this happens it means that there is a paper jam, cartridges weren't installed correctly, the carriage is jammed or has malfunctioned. I understand that you cannot move the carriage to get at the ink cartridges. HP Instant , Welcome to the HP Support Community!.Business PCs, Workstations and Point of Sale Systems.Printer Wireless, Networking & Internet.DesignJet, Large Format Printers & Digital Press.Printing Errors or Lights & Stuck Print Jobs.Notebook Hardware and Upgrade Questions.I greatly resent the time I have wasted over the last two years with this problem. Meanwhile the machine is totally useless as there is no workaround to allow me to carry on (say with black only printing. It could be any of them - this seems to be a problem across the machine, not specific to a single cartridge bay, which would suggest a local problem. On and Off the photo black comes up with the same message, and then it is okay again. As I write this magenta is not recognised, I have cleaned contacts, unpligged the cable, removed the print head cradle, and tried several genuine cartridges. I doubt that I will ever buy a HP again after this.įor what it is worth I usually get the printer to work again, but can never figure out what did the trick. It also has a better design allowing straight through paper runs, which makes a big difference when she prints images on thick paper/card, while the HP invariably scuffs the leading edge. Meanwhile my daughter's printer (which I won't name in deference to this being a HP forum) operates smoothly without any problems of this type. There is clearly a MAJOR problem with this model and the manner in which it is constructed. It makes no difference whether I use cripplingly expensive HP cartridges, HP refills or third party cartridges. If I breath near the cartridges they are prone to showing up as 'missing or damaged'. I have wasted hours when I should be productive, removing and refitting cartridges, cleaning contacts, wiggling cartridges and surfing the 'net looking for a solution. I bought the PhotoSmart 7520 in March 2013 and it has been a constant nightmare. My siimple HP3420 was a model of reliability. I never get an error for missing black or photo cartridges. I tried the other two old yellow cartridges, and no luck.ĭuring removal and installation of the cartridges, sometimes I also get the cyan and magenta showing up as not being recognized along with the yellow, but after taken them and putting them back in the warning for the cyan and magenta go away, but the yellow will not go away, regardless of what I do. I installed it upon arrival, and the printhead error went away, but I still got the same missing cartridge error, and the only one that it will not recognize no matter what I do is the yellow cartridge. I followed the trouble shooting instructions with no luck, so I threw in the towel and I purchased a brand new HP printhead, part number CN642A, as suggested by the HP troubleshooting/support website. I purchased a new set of HP 564 XL cartridges (black), and it never recognizes the yellow ink cartridge, and for some odd reason, it began to tell me that the printhead was either missing, not detected or incorrectly installed. I've been having a similar ongoing issue with my printer.

Cockpit country jamaica height1/14/2024 Again, everyone sticks to the script as we begin the takeoff roll. Finally, a "cleared for takeoff" is read back to the control tower. Taxiing to the active runway entails more checks. Push back commences with everything abiding to standard operating procedures. Ramp checks, fuel checks, and inputting the flight plan into the onboard computers are all part of the job description. Walk-arounds, log book checks, and briefings to the flight attendants are just a few of the many things transpiring as we ready for an on-time departure. Then it’s off to the gate and we settle into the flight deck. Sometimes a quick call to flight dispatch located off airport premises is warranted to check on changing weather conditions and ride reports. We print the flight plan along with the many pertinent weather charts. Undoubtedly, the number one question heard is, "where are you off to?" Answers range from a fifteen-hour polar Hong Kong flight, to a short trip over to Ottawa. Pilots typically begin their career as a First Officer on domestic aircraft or as a Relief Pilot on long-range, international flights.Ĭheck-in is one hour and 15 minutes prior to departure but I try to show up a little early as it is certain I will bump into some colleagues at flight planning. Base preferences are awarded by seniority, so pilots must be willing to relocate as assigned. Air Canada pilots operate out of one of our four crew bases: Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg or Vancouver. Reserve duty, in which the pilot is "on call", may also be assigned. A day's work may vary from a long-range international flight to a sequence of shorter domestic flights. While the typical work month consists of approximately 80 hours of flying, pilots spend many additional hours on such ground duties as preparing flight plans, readying the aircraft for departure, and completing post-flight reports. Whether a Captain, a First Officer or Relief Pilot, an Air Canada pilot's number one priority is to conduct each flight safely, with due consideration to passenger comfort and on-time performance. For more than 70 years, Air Canada pilots have been connecting Canada and the world. The men and women piloting innovative new aircraft like the Boeing 777 are part of a tradition that goes back to our first gleaming silver Lockheed 10A Electra. Each Air Canada pilot is part of the company's proud history of commercial aviation.

Kid cudi said keep moving forward1/14/2024 It also demonstrates how artists’ honesty about their pain can not only help them process, but it can help others struggling with depression and addiction relate as well. Towards the end of the conversation Willow tearfully brought up young people dying, like the late rapper Mac Miller: "So many young people are just dying because of trying to satiate those emotions with drugs."Ĭudi's story is triumphant and points to the struggle so many young people in the public eye and the music industry face. I never really thought about 'Well, why am I depressed?'" " finally helped me talk through it…I don't think I ever really did that in my life. Jada asked if he thought he had been using drugs to try to manage the depression, to which Cudi agreed, and revealed he eventually reached a breaking point which led him to find help where he could face his pain head-on. He said that by 2016 "when I wasn't at work it was a nightmare. He also shared that he always hid his drug use from everyone in his life, and in addition to feeling pressure to keep up his image as "everybody's hero," he also kept his struggles to himself "because I was ashamed." This led to a rollercoaster of bottled emotions, secret on-and-off drug use and deep levels of unhappiness. 23, 24 is still a kid…it was like, 'Oh, maybe if I try drugs I can be okay,'" Cudi explained. It happened really fast for me, and nobody coached me, no mentorship, I was just kinda in it. When the spotlight came for him in 2008, he felt new stresses and had no outlet for his emotions, nor did he feel like he had anyone to really help him through this new lifestyle in a healthy way. He shared that he had struggled with drug use when he first was in the public eye, and quit after getting arrested in 2010. "It took me a minute to realize there was something going wrong with me." For a long time I was not happy when I woke up in the morning," the rapper said. "It's like my life was like this show and I was always supposed to be on, but when the show was over I was completely miserable. In turn, Cudi revealed how he felt pressure to be someone people could look up to, which caused him to feel he didn't have space for how he really felt. As he sat down, Jada shared how special it was to see one of the artists her children looked up to (including Willow, who has put out two albums of her own) live up to his name. The episode, titled "Confronting Mental Illness," opened with a discussion with the three generations of women, who brought in Cudi as their special guest. The topic of discussion was mental health, with Cudi sharing his personal struggles with stress, depression and substance abuse, and how he was finally able to heal. Even from my friends, I was really good at that," Cudi shares in a recent conversation on " Red Table Talk," a Facebook Watch show hosted by Jada Pinkett Smith, along with her daughter, Willow Smith, and mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris. "I was very good at keeping my troubles hidden. Fast-forward to 2018, with plenty more successes under his belt, Cudi has revealed that at one point he was silently-yet deeply-struggling through it. Rapper Kid Cudi rose swiftly into the spotlight with his GRAMMY-nominated debut single "Day 'N' Nite" in 2008, along with a budding friendship with Kanye West, who signed him to his G.O.O.D.

Thopter spy network ruling1/14/2024 The capital of Kaladesh, Ghirapur, is home to the ruling body known as The Consulate, a force for order across the plane. The complexity of these inventions arguably make Kaladesh one of the most technologically advanced planes in the multiverse. Inventions within Kaladesh are designed to be as beautiful as they are functional, with thopters, servos, and all manner of automaton adorned with filigree walking and flying among the people in densely populated city centers. Using skyships that syphon raw aether from pockets high above their cities, the citizens of Kaladesh have used the plentiful resource as a power source, and use it to to create technological marvel after marvel. Rich in the usually rare but naturally-occurring aether, the aethersphere of Kaladesh has shaped all natural life, with the ecosystem of the plane growing in an iconic swirling pattern to reflect its influence. A plane where aether streaks across the sky, flows in the water, and spirals through the earth, Kaladesh is a plane like no other. Meer dan ik had verwacht afgegaan op de Commander alleen. In het algemeen ben ik onder de indruk van dit deck. Maar Xanthic Statue lijkt me nog wel cool. En had je niet altijd als Aladdin's Ring willen spelen? Ok, misschien die niet.

Ik mis een klein beetje de hoge CMC artifacts bij de noncreatures. Neurok Transmuter: erg leuk om je nonartifacts hexproof te kunnen geven, inclusief Padeem! Liquimetal Coating lijkt me ook erg speelbaar. Wel netjes dat je Blightsteel Colossus niet speelt. Want om nou te moeten betalen elke upkeep.dan zou ik eerder gaan voor iets minder CMC (want je bent alsnog de hoogste als je met 10/11 mana artifacts speelt. Dan kun je denk ik toch beter gaan voor Puca's Mischief of Shifting Loyalties/ Shrewd Negotiation.ĭraco lijkt me toch niet zo'n goed plan. Gauntlets of Chaos, hoe passend ook, is wel heel slecht. Deepfathom Skulker is een leuke kaart, maar wellicht was een artifact versie handiger geweest? Key to the City bv.ĭe Djinn om je Thopters in te ruilen voor coole creatures vind ik erg leuk.

Api postman tutorial1/14/2024 Later in this blog post, in the section about implementation, you’ll see how mocks are actually created in Postman. While Stripe does offer a sandbox API specifically for testing, you can still run into rate-limiting issues, which is very likely to happen during a load test. This service will, of course, need to handle payments, and in this imaginary case, your service is using Stripe. One of those microservices is the cart service. Imagine you’re running an e-commerce site with a microservice architecture. In fact, mock APIs can enhance your development experience in general.Ĭombining load testing and mocks is the best way of ensuring that you’re only load testing a single service. Creating Mock ServersĪs an example of more advanced features implemented by load testing tools, the use of mock servers can greatly enhance your load testing experience. Postman decided to implement this functionality with their Collection Runners, a way of running requests from a Collection in a specified order. But without being able to generate a given number of requests at a time, it’s impossible to perform a load test. For the load test to work, you need to run all the tests at once to create a significant load.Īs you start working with load testing, you’ll find that the configurations can get very advanced and complex. However, there’s one feature you’ll find in every load testing tool: the ability to generate requests. Load testing is an entire subject in itself. Because of this, new features have been integrated into Postman, allowing users to verify performance and resilience as well. While that has been and still is a very valid use case, the team at Postman also realized that many users are interested in verifying the resilience of APIs, also known as load testing. This is still a very useful use case, as it allows you to manually verify the response from your API. However, Postman was initially only meant to test API requests one at a time. With the introduction of Collections, in particular, Postman became one of the optimal tools for testing API requests during development, as Collections allow you to group requests together, such as all possible requests for a given API. The most common use case for Postman is to simply test or verify individual API requests. They also support SOAP, for those still working with that. Postman as a tool aims to test any type of API you might be working with and currently supports the three major protocols: REST, gRPC, and GraphQL. If not, you can find many great resources in the Postman Learning Center. In this post, it’s assumed that you have at least some experience working with Postman and are familiar with the basics of creating and sending requests. But, while using Postman for general API testing has widespread adoption, many are still unsure of how to use it for load testing. Postman is a highly popular tool for testing and verifying API requests.

Multiple skin tags on neck1/14/2024 Skin lesions of all kinds increase as we age. If there is any suspicion, the lesions should be sent separately, together with a note to the pathologist explaining what the suspicion is and the exact location of the lesion. When multiple acrochordons are removed, it is unwise to send them all together for histopathology. Similarly, in lesions with obvious vessels, it is reasonable to exclude basal cell carcinoma. In the presence of pigmentation, it is reasonable to obtain histopathology to exclude melanoma. Courtesy of the Primary Care Dermatology Society () InvestigationsĪcrochordons do not require any specific investigations. This work linked obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance, and elevated high-sensitive C-reactive protein with skin tags, suggesting they may serve as a marker of increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. In another survey, 113 patients with skin tags and 31 healthy subjects were evaluated. It is also thought that pendulous variations may be caused by losses of large confluent areas of elastin however, a study of elastic tissue in fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) showed no significant abnormalities.Ī cross-sectional study of adult patients at a university teaching hospital, including 98 patients and 103 controls, found that the presence of multiple skin tags was strongly associated with insulin resistance, irrespective of other risk factors. Previous theories have suggested that a localized paucity of elastic tissue may result in sessile or atrophic lesions. Melanocytic nevi can have extensions that can resemble acrochordons.Genital warts will have the clinical appearance of acrochordons.Mycosis fungoides has been shown to involve an acrochordon with known mycosis fungoides.Nevus lipomatosis cutaneous superficialis is a benign hamartomatous disorder.Squamous cell carcinoma should be excluded in the presence of large acrochordons, especially with superficial bleeding.Skin-tag like basal cell carcinomas can be seen in the basal cell nevus syndrome.Skin tags have been associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an incidence of 40.6% of type 2 diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance in a study of patients with acrochordons.įig 15: An acrochordon growing on a base of seborrheic keratosis, also called a pedunculated seborrheic keratosis Renal and colon carcinomas can occur.Ĭontrary to initial reports, there is no association of acrochordons and colonic polyps. Local trauma may be responsible for increased occurrence of arcochordons by the release of mast cell mediators.Ī rare autosomal dominant condition called Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is characterized by fibrofolliculomas, trichodiscomas and acrochordons. Skin infections are thought to promote the growth of these lesions as well. Viral infections have been implicated by the finding of human papillomavirus (HPV) in a high percentage of skin tag biopsies. Also, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and alpha tissue growth factor (TGF) have been associated with an increased incidence of acrochordons. Hormonal imbalances have also been implicated, such as elevated estrogen and progesterone levels in pregnancy and high levels of growth hormone in acromegaly. Therefore, many physicians of the time, including Halle, published their medical textbooks disguised as new translations of earlier writings, to avoid censure.įig 9: Typical acrochordon (skin tag) on the left upper eyelid with two smaller ones supero-lateral to the larger one. Servetus “was burnt alive – atop a pyre of his own books – at the Plateau of Champel at the edge of Geneva” in 1553. Halle would have been familiar with the fate of Michael Servetus, the Spanish physician, theologian and humanist who published his theory on the circulation of blood between the heart and the lungs, leading to his condemnation to death for heresy (for this and other perceived religious transgressions – “execrable blasphemies” as termed by John Calvin, his main prosecutor). At the time, medical textbooks often had to be referred to the Church for approval before publication. He also exposed charlatans and decried fraudulent medicine. His medical textbook Chirurgia parva Lanfranci published in London in1565 presented for the first time in detail, medical ethics, discussed the importance of obtaining second opinions and stressed the “primacy of experience over book learning” when studying Medicine. The earliest use of the term “acrochordon” in the English language was by the poet and physician, John Halle (1529 – 1569), a man ahead of his times in his thinking, who practiced in Maidstone, Kent. He was the first used the term “acrochordon” Fig 6: The textbook “Chirugia parva Lafranci” by John Halle (1529 – 1569) – the name “Halle” was often spelled “Hall” in his manuscripts.

Oris calibre 400 diver 651/12/2024 Scene from Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey The aforementioned luxury sports watches of the 1970s asserted these qualities, and the Oris ProPilot X Calbire 400 does the same. Straight lines and repetitive shapes create inorganic forms characteristic of a man-made, industrialized environment consisting of novel materials and devoid of historical reference points. If you know the sets of Stanley Kuberick films, then you have a sense of how creative minds of the late 20th century imagined the look of the 21st century. Starting with the shapes, the ProPilot X Caliber 400 brings the spirit of retro-futurism, playful brutalism, and what I call techno-romanticism. In terms of vibe, style, and purpose, however, the Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 could very easily sit in for a Royal Oak, an Overseas or a Nautilus, where no Rolex ever could.Įffectively it comes down to three things: (a) the futuristic shapes of the ProPilot X, (b) the bracelet being quite brilliantly aesthetically integrated into the design, and (c) the use of forward-thinking materials and technology. The Oris Pro Pilot X Calibre 400 is fully titanium and attaches its bracelet via end-links to traditional lugs, a configuration you’ll find on every Rolex sport watch bearing a bracelet. Many luxury sports watches are made of steel and include an integrated bracelet, meaning that there is a bracelet link built into the case.
