![]() Like the Transit, the Sprinter also offers occupancy for up to 15 passengers it carries a longer wheelbase, however, which means more passenger room and more cargo capacity in the rear. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is all-new for 2019, with some of the most up-to-the-minute features and equipment offered within the segment. All that being said, however, most vehicles in the segment share the same bare-bones arrangement, but the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter does have many more options and may be a better alternative to consider. There are also hardly any safety and driver-assist features standard or available: the biggest fallback is in the lack of rear passenger niceties, though, with no USB ports provided for device charging, no storage solutions, only standard air conditioning, and no speakers from the infotainment. There's not much offered in the way of infotainment, safety, and passenger accommodations, however, with no infotainment screen and no smartphone connectivity offered at all at the base level - additionally, only a minor screen upgrade comes with the XLT. It's a decently comfortable vehicle too, delivering a smooth and composed ride in most urban conditions, and even proving to be somewhat nimble. Any of the three available engines offered within the lineup are suitably capable and reasonably fuel-efficient for the class. It is one of the most customizable vans out there with its versatile array of engine, wheelbase, roof height, and seating occupancy configurations. The Ford Transit Passenger Van is a more than favorable option within the scope of the full-size passenger-van segment. Maneuverability is the Transit's greatest weakness - as it is with any large van - but in the smaller wheelbase offerings, the Transit is surprisingly nimble, especially compared to dated rivals like the Ram ProMaster and Nissan NV. ![]() However, road feel and tire position are communicated surprisingly well through the steering wheel which, along with accurate steering responses, cedes some level of confidence to the driver. The suspension is tuned soft for a mostly comfortable and compliant ride, which does, however, mean that while minor road imperfections and typical everyday undulations are handled suitably, a lot of body roll is exhibited around corners. ![]() A full payload in any of the Transit configurations will weaken the potency of any of the available engines, though not to a frustrating degree. The Transit motors around with consistent vigor whether pulling off or cruising on the highway - at least with any of the upgraded engines. All configurations share a width of 81.3 inches, except the LWB-EL model which is 83.7 inches wide.ĭespite its heft, size, and shape, the Transit Passenger Van still rides and handles surprisingly well. The LWB Extended Length (LWB-EL) also has a 147.6-inch wheelbase, but it avails the model a longer overall length of 263.9 inches and a height of 107.7 inches. The long wheelbase (LWB) measures 147.6 inches, affording the LR models a total length of 237.6 inches and a height of 82.4 inches, with the MR models measuring 235.5 inches in length and 99.2 inches in height, and the HR models 235.5 inches in length and 108.6 inches in height. MR models have a length of 217.8 inches and a height of 98.7 inches. The regular wheelbase (RWB) measures 129.9-inches, and in terms of total length and height, the LR model measures 219.9 inches and 82.2 inches, respectively. The RWB models can be optioned with the LR and MR, the LWB models with any of the roof heights, and the LWB-EL models with only the HR. The Transit Passenger Van is available in a variety of configurations with regular and long wheelbases, and regular, long, and extended length bodies, as well as with low, medium, or high roof options. ![]()

![]() ![]() Some cloud cover will stick around into the overnight hours tonight. High temperatures heading for the middle 80s by Sunday afternoon. Expect any thunderstorms to develop after 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM when we start to reach peak daytime heating, then wind down by 8:00-9:00 PM as we lose daytime heating this evening. ![]() Some places will more than likely stay dry this afternoon as well. We will also bring back the chance for a few showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening hours too today, but I am not expecting a widespread coverage of the thunderstorms with daytime heating this afternoon. If you have respiratory diseases like asthma, our elderly friends and neighbors, and our younger kids may need to spend a little more time indoors today while we have the smoke around the region. Because of that, an Air Quality Alert has been issued for the majority of the State for Sunday as air quality levels are expected to go back into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (Orange) range, with some hourly observations into the Unhealthy (Red) range for everyone. We’re also tracking the wildfire smoke from Canada moving back into the region today as well. Today will be by far, much better in the weather department compared to what we saw on Saturday, despite the air quality issue we are tracking today. 4Warn Weather – After a soggy day with rain showers and thunderstorms for most on Saturday, we ended the day with some sunshine, and we will keep some of that sunshine into the forecast for the end of the weekend on Sunday. ![]() ![]() ![]() Progesterone, the hormone that supports pregnancy, “tends to be a ‘feel-good’ and ‘rest and relax’ hormone,” Dimitriu says. The hormonal landscape of your body undergoes dramatic changes over the course of your pregnancy. ![]() Weight gain from the growing baby and a shift in your center of gravity to accommodate all these changes may lead to more pressure on the lower back and back pain for many women. ![]() In addition, as your body readies for delivery, your hips and pelvis shift, and your posture changes. Overweight women and those who’ve had back pain during a previous pregnancy are at highest risk for developing back pain. The APA reports that 50% to 70% of pregnant women experience back pain, often a cause of pregnancy insomnia. When these individuals wake up in the middle of the night, “instead of going back to sleep, the things they tend to be anxious about tend to come out at that time." Over time, these dysfunctional sleep patterns can become a habit. This is the same for non-pregnant people who have anxiety-related insomnia. Anxiety-related pregnancy insomnia is often linked with a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night, Mindel says. Depression is also often associated with insomnia. Pregnancy can be a stressful time for many women, and we all know how being anxious can cause sleepless nights. “Being larger and trying to sleep with a big belly can be challenging.” Dimitriu says these structural changes in your body are one of the biggest reasons why pregnant women experience insomnia. This can disrupt your ability to sleep and may make it difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position. For example, if you prefer to sleep on your stomach, as your pregnancy progresses, you may not be able to assume that sleeping position. The simple logistics of growing another human inside your belly leads to a lot of structural changes in the body, which may mean your normal sleeping positions are no longer comfortable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seeds will not germinate well in temperatures over 75 degrees. Long days and summer heat over 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit will cause it to bolt (go to seed) very quickly. It is best grown in the cool weather of spring and autumn. It prefers more alkaline soils (sandy soils with pH 7 or greater). Some varieties are perennial veggies, which means they will regrow each year. It is an annual low-growing crop and member of the Amaranthaceae/Chenopodiaceae family, along with beets, chard, amaranth, quinoa, and lambs quarter. A lightweight cover will continue to protect the plants from flea beetles and leaf miners.Spinach is a leafy iron-rich green popular in many cuisines. Once the weather has warmed, remove the row cover or replace it with a lightweight mesh cover, so the plants do not have exposure to too much heat. Use a floating row cover to protect the seedlings from cold weather and insects. Thin spinach to two to four inches apart. Thin Swiss chard to four to six inches apart. Plant seeds one-fourth to one-half inch deep, in rows 18 to 30 inches apart. ![]() There is no need to make multiple chard plantings, as the plants will not bolt due to heat or day length. In this case, the plant bolts because it perceives a “winter” that signals it to flower. Start chard somewhat later, in early to mid-May, as cold temperatures can lead to bolting. In other parts of the state, it is best to wait until mid-August or later to sow the fall crop of spinach, to avoid summer heat. In the cooler northeastern part of Minnesota, from Duluth north, spinach planted in early August will likely flourish. Spinach planted in August for a fall crop will grow under shortening days, and will not bolt. Combine a modest harvest of spinach with other early crops such as peas, lettuce and chives for a fresh-from-the-garden meal. For a fall crop, sow seed two months before the average first frost date. For a continuous spring supply, plant spinach seeds every one to two weeks, until outdoor temperatures reach 80☏. To direct seed spinach for a summer crop, sow seeds as soon as the soil is workable in the spring. When cool weather returns in September, the plants quickly develop many leaves. ![]() In the summer, its growth will slow, but as long as the soil does not dry out, it will still grow leaves. It will not flower until the plant has lived through a winter, so there is no danger of it bolting in summer heat.Ĭhard does best in cooler weather. Many gardeners develop a liking for Swiss chard and learn to cook with it simply because it is a reliable crop. Our long days will even challenge varieties that are slow to bolt. Growers breed and select spinach varieties for resistance to bolting, but Minnesota’s northern latitude means that our day length increases quickly through the spring, to the very long days of mid-June. In June, the plants tend to bolt even in cool weather. If the weather turns hot, or the planting gets dry, a spinach planting will stop leaf production and grow a flowering stem. Drought can also accelerate bolting.ĭuring May, the days are much longer than the nights. ![]() In hot weather, plants respond more quickly to the day length signal. Spinach plants respond to increasing day length by “bolting:” sending up a flowering stalk and setting seed. An important difference between the two plants is that spinach is day length sensitive, while chard is not. ![]() ![]() ![]() Life path number = month + date + year = 3 + 9 + 4 = 16 = 1 + 6 = 7 If your birthdate is December 18, 1993, your life path number is 7. This example may make it easier for you to understand. Again, add up the digits again and again to get a single digit. For the year, you need to consider all four digits. Whenever you have a two-digit number for the date or month, you can add up the digits until you arrive at a single digit. Your life path number = month of birth + date of birth + year of birth How to calculate your life path number?Ĭalculating your life path number is simple enough. When you are using numerology to find your lucky wedding dates or those to avoid, you need to begin with your life path number. ![]() Every date can be reduced to a single-digit number, which is then used to calculate the compatibility of couples as well as the suitability of their wedding dates. Numerology is a system that uses your birthdate to predict your future. This article will take you through the details of how numerology works and how you can use it to avoid picking the wrong dates for your wedding. So, why not understand how it works and make the most of the knowledge to avoid pitfalls? Whether you believe in numerology or not, it will play a role in your life. This may make you wonder – “Is it hocus pocus? “How can my wedding date make or mar my life?” However, you don’t have a choice in the matter you just have to do it. With all these limitations, you may find it impossible to pick a date for the most important day of your life. The word ”unfair” doesn’t do justice to the description at all. It would be like playing golf on a course filled chock-a-block with hazards of every possible kind. Additional restrictions on the wedding dates are bound to make it tougher. Such as the availability of the wedding venue and your favorite caterer or the convenience of close family and friends, besides that of your partner’s and yours. When you are choosing the wedding date, you have so many constraints to think of. Some dates are believed to be unlucky in marriage numerology. Surprised? It’s true, though you may consider it unfair. One of the most influential factors affecting its success and failure is the wedding date itself. Marriage is more than picking the right partner. Ever wondered why some marriages are successful while the rest flounder and fail? Or why marriage is smooth-sailing for some but hard labor for others? ![]() ![]() but I didn't get it, because I like working with my Native instruments on the two screens, and I like the aftertouch. Last week i saw an Mk1 88 key on my local Craigslist for a screaming deal. (In fact, I wanted the 88 key, but couldn't find it in stock anywhere, so I got the 49-key which was the only one in stock. So, despite the fact that the DAW integration in my specific setup is basically non-existent, I STILL love my Mk2. ![]() ![]() And honestly, if you want to use all of the groovy Native Instruments tools and instruments and sounds, aftertouch is a pretty handy thing to have. scrolling through your NI instruments, tweaking settings for each instrument, and the feel of the knobs and controls is SO GOOD, I really like the Mk2 screens and controls for navigating all that content.įinally, the Mk2 has a different keyboard that also supports aftertouch. This may seem like a small thing, but honestly. So if you aren't using Logic on a Mac, the key benefit of the Mk2 is that almost everything you would do with the mouse before, can be done on the keyboard itself. Was a great opportunity to replace my aging Yamaha P-85. The transport buttons aren't supported at all, and most of the other DAW-controlling buttons don't work, either. Highest Rated Reviews of 2 Great Product By Keith Hinton from Prescott, Arizona on AugMusic Background: Full-Time Musician This thing is absolutely awesome Got it in September 2017 along with a new stand and haven't looked back. I use a Mac with Logic, and the difference between the Mk1 and Mk2 is really nothing at all, because most of the fancy features of the Mk2 don't work on the Mac or in Logic.

When combined to nutritional yeast, it makes for a perfect combo to get that delicious cheese flavor. Its hard to believe a dish so beautiful and colorful is only 5-ingredients. It's essential Lemon juice: Regular cheese have a tangy taste which is brought here by fresh lemon juice. Combine: Add the pasta, vegan ricotta, fresh herbs and lemon juice to the pan with zucchini, mix well to coat. Blend well, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Once the cashews have softened, place them in a blender or food processor and add the rest of the ingredients except for the milk. How To Make Vegan Ricotta: If you don’t have a Vitamix or another powerful blender make sure to start with a quick soak of the cashews (20 minutes) in hot water. This looks so good and has a certain glam to it which is perfect for entertaining. Zucchini: In large pan, heat olive oil or water over medium heat and cook the garlic and zucchini together, until zucchini is pretty tender, about 8 10 minutes, stirring frequently so they cook uniformly. Make sure the water covers the cashews completely with a little extra room as the cashews will swell. I used Gardein Beefless Ground, which is gluten-free, so if you wish you can use gluten-free pasta. Raw Vegan Super Creamy & Fluffy Homemade Fatta in Casa. The key for the ricotta is to use this recipe, double it, and substitute two tablespoons fresh basil for the parsley. You can reduce the simmer time for the sauce as necessary. While having both items already prepared are part of what makes this vegan lasagna so easy, both the basil cashew ricotta and basic tomato pasta sauce are pretty quick and simple to make. My favorite is this recipe, but you can use your own favorite if you prefer. I make it in huge batches, divide it into smaller containers, then it’s so easy to pull it out to thaw when needed. I always seem to have basic tomato pasta sauce in my freezer. Drain and rinse and transfer them to a powerful blender or.

Process until everything is uniformly chunky. Place steamed cauliflower, slivered almonds, zested garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in bowl of food processor. I first made this vegan lasagna shortly after I discovered cashew cheese.

![]() ![]() ![]() In the case of TransUnion, a locked-out customer can get around the PIN requirement by answering a slew of personal questions. “What is the point of issuing a PIN if you’re not going to require it for a lift of credit freeze? Especially on an account with an existing fraud alert?” Chuck asked Consumerist. Krebs’ discovery is reminiscent of an issue Consumerist covered last year when reader Chuck discovered that credit reporting agency TransUnion had allowed the fraudster who stole his mother’s identity to lift the credit freeze on her account over the phone, even though she’d taken the precaution of setting up a unique PIN to protect the account. Please choose the city from the following list where this street is located.”īoth of these questions could easily be answered by someone who has previously stolen your identity or can look you up on any number of social media networks. Nearly a dozen readers told Krebs they were able to retrieve their PINs by submitting the information and answering the questions, which included “Please select the city that you have previously resided in,” and “according to our records, you previously lived on XXX street. In the case of Experian, Krebs asked readers who have placed freezes on their account with the CRA to test process. The problem is, the type of questions asked for these kinds of verification tests - “Which of these streets have you lived on?” “Which of the following phone numbers have you previously had?” - are often the sort of thing that a good ID thief would have.Īdditionally, Krebs notes that many companies relying on these types of questions to authenticate a user have been hacked in the past, meaning that some customers’ answers are already out there. Krebs points out that Experian does in fact employ a second verification method in which customers requesting a PIN must answer four personal questions. So, to that end, a fraudster who is able to get their hands on this data could theoretically input that information into Experian’s PIN request form to obtain the code to unfreeze one’s credit. Namely because we know that most hacks involve the leak of this very same personal information. In the case of Experian, the company allows customers to request their PIN by providing their personal information, such as name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number.īut in the wake of Equifax’s breach - and any number of other hacks in recent years - this is a problem. To make sure these folks aren’t forever frozen out of their own accounts, many companies offer a work-around. ![]() Unfortunately, humans are fallible and sometimes they forget their PINs. With a freeze in place, even the bona fide account holders will need to take special steps if they want to apply for any type of credit or unfreeze the account.Ĭompanies like Experian - and many others that deal with customers’ personal information - provide a PIN that a consumer must provide in order to access or make changes to their accounts. In addition to placing fraud alerts on their accounts and signing up for credit monitoring, many consumers have chosen to freeze their credit.Ī credit freeze - generally free for identity theft victims - prevents lenders and others from accessing a consumer’s credit report in response to a new credit application. What’s The Freeze?Įver since Equifax’s breach came to light, consumers have been urged to take steps to protect their credit histories and their private information. Krebs On Security reports that a possible security flaw in Experian’s credit freeze process could leave victims of Equifax’s breach open to further fraud. This is a lesson some victims of Equifax’s recent data breach are learning after freezing their accounts with fellow credit reporting agency Experian. Placing a credit freeze on your accounts following a hack or issue with identity theft is only effective if the credit reporting agency you’re working with doesn’t give ne’er-do-wells the ability to unfreeze the accounts by providing the same information that any good ID thief already knows about you. The company regularly reviews its security practices and adjusts as needed. UPDATE: Experian tells Consumerist that its authentication processes go farther than previously identified steps. ![]() |
