![]() Purchases since 1 March, 2023 will receive a free upgrade to version 11. (Older Mac users will remember QuicKeys was the premier macro application choice from the late 1980s through the 2000s Keyboard Maestro took up its mantle under OS X and has persisted to the present. Every couple years we release a great new major upgrade, and you can purchase an upgrade from any previous version for US25 plus applicable tax (or US18 plus applicable tax until December 15 if you purchased version 10). While not always classed as programming, macros are not very far off, either. The key elements for a good macro system are that it’s easy to create and modify macros, that they execute consistently, and that they require only understanding the notion that things occur in order–no coding experience is required. ![]() Keyboard Maestro lets you create macros, a computer-science term dating from the late 1950s, which covers a series of grouped actions performed in sequence. Actions to control Keyboard Maestro itself, enabling or disabling macros, showing and hiding palettes, etcetera. iTunes actions to play tracks, fast forward, rewind, change the volume and more. Its latest update, version 10, shipped in November 2021 with dozens of new features large and small. Interface actions to move or resize windows, click the mouse, type keystrokes, press buttons, etcetera. While it is a paid app, they offer a lengthy trial period. Keyboard Maestro has occupied a big swath of that niche since 2002. The first step to using Keyboard Maestro is to download and install it on your Mac. Yet the insistence of operating systems and apps on making us carry out mind- and finger-numbing jobs has given rise to a varied category of utilities that automate operations. Computers should perform repetitive actions on our behalf, freeing us for higher-level work.

![]() It appears that the fact that a Steam client runs on a modern Mac doesn’t by itself also mean anything on Steam will also run. I’m afraid I don’t really understand Steam anyway. Then there’s Steam, which I so far avoided. But I see Civ IV requires Vista so that’s too much of a stretch. So DVD gets returned and I’m back to square one: how do I play Civ IV on a Mac these days? I could buy an old Windows laptop and run it air-gapped. So having to have a DVD inserted just to play is not going to fly anyway. Anyway, the extension pack launched, but crashed too, not however, before telling me that to launch Civ IV I needed to have the DVD in the drive. Odd since the same Civ IV purchased on the MAS ran just fine on that same Mac under that same macOS. Got my hands on a legit Civ IV DVD and installed that on two Mojave systems, but got a dreaded prohibited sign painted over the icon. So I finally got around to trying Civ IV on an old Mojave Mac. Nothing against that in principle, except of course that it would be a whole lot nicer if there were a solution that integrates on a modern Apple Silicon Mac. But for now it indeed looks like 32bit Mac is still the easiest way forward. Now, if there were reports of Win Civ IV working well on CrossOver on Apple Silicon (thanks for that link, I should probably reconsider that stance. That IMHO pretty much makes it a de facto subscription service. And then - at least the way we run it at work - it requires basically a yearly renewal in order to stay updated and (perhaps more importantly) stop all the incessant nagging. Unfortunately, again on Apple Silicon not quite as much. It is a bit cumbersome, but on Intel it worked really well (once it worked). ![]() As a Wine replacement on the Mac side at work I have actually used CrossOver rather extensively. Unfortunately, on the Mac side that got a lot less with the transition to Apple Silicon, on Linux I still use it daily. Thank you, At work I used to use Wine a lot both on Linux and macOS. However, if by “modern Mac” you mean one with Apple Silicon, there might be some stumbling blocks running Wine or Steam on ARM-based Linux. Steam also might have a Linux native version of Civ IV. If you’re okay with virtualization, just not of Windows, you could run Linux in a virtual machine and use Wine there to run the Windows version of Civ IV. Codeweavers does contribute back to the Wine project so maybe Wine itself is better on a Mac now. However, back when CrossOver was new, my understanding was getting Wine to work on a Mac was so painful that using CrossOver was the only realistic option. ![]() There is a Mac version of Wine, you could try that first. The Mac system compatibility says CrossOver works on Intel or Apple Silicon Macs.ĬrossOver is a commercial, supported product based on the free and open source project, Wine (which stood for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”). Their compatibility reports about Civilization indicate that Civ IV has worked well for people. What about Codeweavers’ CrossOver? It exists to run Windows programs on other operating systems without Windows. ![]() When the new owner starts up the Mac, they can use their own information to complete the setup process.

![]() Compare that to taking a mid to senior E4 who is applying, then won't receive a class date for up to a year, depending on TS clearance time and availability of classes, then the full almost year of AIT. In other words, you can take an IET Soldier and two years later they will be fully qualified and have experience. A large factor in being accepted is where your competence level is and will be expected to be at your specific time in service and grade. There is no rule of thumb or written guidance that says if you have xx certification you will be accepted. The in service application is geared more towards identifying and giving an opportunity to Soldiers who already have some experience and pulling them in. 17C is not set up to accept in service applicants with no experience. Even with that, it will still take time, probably years. PFC (Join to see) I misread your rank, I thought it said SGT. Thankyou, can’t wait to hear from you all. Is a TS, passing ASVAB scores, and passing the ICTL enough?Ģ.) If I do need certs to even get a packet accepted would they be on the Army Skillshare thing, and what would those certs be? However the big questions for me are.ġ.)Do I need to have certs to be able to reclass to this MOS and is it pointless for me to submit a packet if I don’t have them? I wanted to know how many people could second this, and how many 17C reclass soldiers there are out there and how your experience was. Recently though I’ve been looking around and a lot of people are saying that reclassing to 17C is a lot harder than enlisting into it because they want you to have certs/experience. I also have to pass the “ICTL” (I believe is what it’s called). I gave my TS memo to S2 and I’m just waiting for the next steps. (Convenient because this was the plan anyway) So as a 14G I already have a Secret clearance & I need a TS for 17C. ![]() At first we realized my MOS was under-strength but that if I wanted to reclass I could go to 17C regardless of strength. ![]() So I talked to the retention NCO at my unit about re-classing from 14G to 17C. ![]() You may not, and you agree not to or to enable others to, copy (except as expressly Otherwise redistribute the Apple Font in any unauthorized way. ![]() You may not rent, lease, lend, trade, transfer, sell, sublicense or Run or used by multiple computers at the same time.

Gedun Gyatso died deep in meditation at the age of 67 in 1542. Gendun Rinpoche (19181997) belonged to that extraordinary group of great Tibetan Buddhist meditators trained entirely in Tibet who were driven into exile by the Chinese occupation of their homeland and who later in their lives spread the Buddhist teachings in the West. He then became abbot of Sera monastery in 1525 Sera had been founded in 1419, by Jamchen Chojey ( Sakya Yeshe), a disciple of Tsong Khapa. In 1517 he became abbot of Drepung monastery -both monasteries had been founded by Pema Dorje/ Gendun Drup - and he revived the ' Great Prayer Festival' or Monlam Chenmo in 1518, presiding over the celebration with monks from the three large Gelug monasteries of Sera, Drepung and Gaden ( Ganden was the original monastery of the Geluk order, founded by Je Tsongkhapa himself in 1409). Gedun Gyatso became abbot of Tashilhunpo in 1512 at the age of thirty-six. In 1509 he went to southern Tibet and founded the monastery of Chokorgyel Monastery ( Chokhor-gyal) close to lake Lhamo La-tso, about 115 km northeast of Tsetang and at an altitude of 4,500 m (14,764 ft), while the lake itself is at an altitude of about 5,000 m. Gendun Gyatso is said to have been the first to discover the sacredness of Lake Lhamoi Latso. Since the time of Gendun Gyatso, who formalised the system, monks have gone to the lake to seek guidance on choosing the next reincarnation through visions while meditating there. It is said that Palden Lhamo, the female guardian spirit of the sacred lake, Lhamo La-tso, promised the First Dalai Lama in one of his visions "that she would protect the reincarnation lineage of the Dalai Lamas." He was a renowned scholar and composer of mystical poetry, who traveled widely to extend Gelugpa influence, and became abbot of the largest Gelugpa monastery, Drepung, which from this time on was closely associated with the Dalai Lamas.Īccording to Sumpa Khenpo, the great Gelug scholar, he also studied some Nyingma-pa tantric doctrines. Apparently, he told the priests that he had been waiting for them. When the high priests came looking for the incarnation of Gendun Drup, they found him when he was 17 years old. He remained at Tashilhunpo until he was 16 or 17 but, then, due to "some controversies or jealousy" he had to leave the monastery and went to Lhasa to study at Drepung Monastery. ![]() He received his novice and then full ordination vows. He received his novice vows from Panchen Lungrig Gyatso in 1486, at the age of ten, and his vows of an ordained monk from Ghoje Choekyi Gyaltsen who gave him his ordination name of Gedun Gyatso.Īt the age of eleven, he was enthroned as the reincarnation of Gendun Drubpa at Tashilhunpo monastery. ![]() He was proclaimed the reincarnation of Gendun Drup as a young boy - according to some sources at four years old, and to others at eight When he was four, he reportedly told his parents he wished to live in the Tashilhunpo monastery (next to Shigatse and founded in 1447 by Gendun Drup) to be with his monks. Legend has it that soon after he learned to speak, he told his parents his name was Pema Dorje, the birth name of Gendun Drup (1391–1474) and that his father was Lobsang Drakpa, which was Tsongkapa's ordination name. His mother was Machik Kunga Pemo, they were a farming family. His father, Kunga Gyaltsen (1432–1481) ( Wylie: kun dga' rgyal mtshan), was a ngakpa ( married tantric practitioner) of the Nyingma lineage, a famous Nyingma tantric master. He was born near Shigatse at Tanak, in the Tsang region of central Tibet. The thesis presents a critical edition and English translation of the biography of Red mda’ ba.Gendun Gyatso Palzangpo ( Wylie: dge 'dun rgya mtsho), also Gendun Gyatso (" Sublimely Glorious Ocean of Spiritual Aspirants}", layname: Yonten Phuntsok) (1475–1542) was the second Dalai Lama. This work therefore aims to present the first detailed exposition of this crucial figure of Tibetan culture. It elucidates his influence in upgrading philosophical studies and dialectics, and expanding scholastic education in the monasteries, as well as his contribution to Tsong kha pa’s foundation of the dGe lugs pa school, the lineage to which the Dalai Lamas belong. On the basis of this biography, Red mda’ ba’s contribution to the spiritual culture of Buddhism at his time can now be analyzed. ![]() Red mda' ba was an important teacher of scholastic Buddhist philosophy to the three main founders of Tibetan dGe lugs tradition. The lasting impact of this historical figure on the shape of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet - and particularly that of Madhyamaka - has been highly underestimated to date. ![]() Red mda’ ba gZhon nu blo gros (1348-1412) played a pivotal role in the history of Tibetan Buddhists' engagement with Indian Madhyamaka, especially with regard to Candrakirti's interpretation of Nagarjuna. IOS 7 introduced a complete visual overhaul of the user interface. IOS 7 is the last version of iOS that supports the iPhone 4 as its successor, iOS 8, drops support for that model. ![]() Its iOS market share was reported to be as high as 35% after one day, and installed on 200 million devices within 5 days, which Apple stated was "the fastest software upgrade in history." Shortly after release, there were reports of the new design causing sickness, a trend explained as being caused by animations with similar effects as car sickness. The addition of the Control Center was praised, as were updates to Siri and multitasking. The new design language was criticized, with critics noting the implementation of design changes rather than actual productivity improvements, and citing examples such as animations delaying access, lack of icon consistency, and buttons being hidden as negative aspects of the user experience. iOS 7 was the first version of iOS to support 64-bit apps and processors. iOS 7 also introduced AirDrop, a wireless sharing technology CarPlay, phone and car integration and automatic app updates in the App Store. The new design was implemented throughout the operating system, including the Notification Center, which was updated with three tabs offering different views of information notifications visible on the lock screen a redesigned Siri voice assistant offering visual indicators and a Control Center offering easy access to the most commonly used features. The new look, featuring flatter icons, a new slide-to-unlock function, and new animations, was described by Ive as "profound and enduring beauty in simplicity". IOS 7 introduced a completely redesigned user interface, a design credited to a team led by Apple's former senior vice president of design, Jony Ive.
