![]() ![]() According to McKinsey, by 2021 six in ten Americans under the age of 25 had completed a purchase on a social-media site. Such apps are increasingly adding features that allow users to shop without ever leaving the platform. TikTok’s user-generated videos can propel even tiny brands to speedy viral fame. Instagram, part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok, a Chinese-owned video-sharing app, are where the young look for inspiration, particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion, beauty and sportswear. Print, billboard or tv advertising has given way to social media. The internet has also changed how the young discover brands (see chart 2). Investors may have fallen out of love with Netflix but Gen Z has not the company remains one of the most popular brands among that age group in America. This has buoyed online-rental sites (like Rent the Runway for fashion) and streaming services. They like subscriptions, often favouring shared access to products rather than outright ownership. These “always-on purchasers”, as McKinsey has christened them, often shun a weekly shop for quicker fixes of everything from fashion to furniture. They are more likely than the rest of the population to use their phones to pay for shopping, says Forrester. A study by Salesforce, a business-software giant, found that Gen- z Americans are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour. The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times. Young people want their shopping to be totally hiccup-free. A heightened expectation of convenience comes with being raised in the age of Airbnb, Amazon and Uber. More than two-thirds of 18- to 34-year-old Americans spend four hours or more on their devices each day. Young shoppers never knew a world without smartphones. The proliferation of social media means there are many new ways of attracting consumers’ eyeballs. In many ways youngsters’ shopping habits, like their lives, are defined by the “attention economy”-buying stuff online is far quicker and easier than a trip to the shops. Megan Scott, a 20-year-old student from London, speaks for many of her peers by admitting that, when shopping, she has no restraint-until, she chuckles, the bill arrives. Forrester, a market-research firm, found that most users of “buy now, pay later” apps are around 20. According to another survey by McKinsey in October, 45% of Europeans in their teens and early 20s planned some kind of splurge in the next three months whereas 83% of Boomers, born before 1964, said “No” to such profligacy. Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage splashing out (see chart 1). ![]()

In fact, the Frisco Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) rebranded and declared Frisco as “Sports City, U.S.A.” in July! This distinction is important, as Frisco is the only city in the U.S. Football, soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball - Frisco has it all! In addition to all the crazy-fast structural and business development, Frisco’s dot on the proverbial map has expanded into a premier location for big-time sporting events and sports championships throughout the year.

Has anyone done this or know how it's done? On this Celestron webpage in the "Fastar - Cameras" section, is a picture of a DSLR camera mounted more or less directly to the corrector plate Fastar. It's not for everybody, but I love It! See below and Įdited by Noah4x4, 23 April 2020 - 04:27 PM. Visual collimation is preserved, because a tiny screw in the side of the mirror slides into the housing so maintaining its original position. When you remove your secondary mirror, it is cleverly stored in the Hyperstar protective cap. However, if you own an Alt-Az it's cheaper than replacing it with GEM and autoguider etc. Cost is however an issue as Hyperstar is an expensive device, but it is cheaper than RASA. Here, I use a high resolution large sensor camera and a 4K UHD display. A downsize is you then need more camera Zoom. Frankly, it is a bit like "cheating".Īn upside is that removal of your mirror increases FOV x5. ![]() The benefit of extreme short exposures is you don't require polar alignment, nor wedge, nor GEM and no autoguiding. It's hence really good for near live observing. If I use 10 x 6 second stacked exposures (one minute) they will produce a result the equivalent of 25 minutes at f/10. The advantage is it makes your scope especially 'fast' and images at f/2 will form 25x faster than at a scope's native f/10. Hence, it is affixed to the front of the OTA, so no worry about rear end clearance. If your scope is Fastar compatible, you can remove your secondary mirror and replace it with an optical device called Hyperstar to which you fit your camera. Has anyone done this? Is it hard to remove? Dangerous? Collimation anxiety? And if it is so revolutionary, why has it not been advertised widely with the scopes before? Mostly I find it odd that they're advertising something they don't sell anymore, with no suggestions of what to use even. I searched archives, and found nothing terribly recent(although interesting discussion about a Schmidt-Newtonian in February.I wonder if it prompted the email?). If you want to do it, it says to reach out to third-party vendors that sell Fastar or Hyperstar compatible gear. So all you do is remove the mirror.does it just "screw out"? And you drop the webcam in? So I get the Celestron email the other day entitled "Fastar Me"? The opening graphic says "2 focal ratios are better than 1", and says suitable for capturing images from rear or front. If paying with PayPal, add the fee.I have had my 8SE for some time, read Mike Swanson's book cover to cover (II), and I have never heard of Fastar to the best of my recollection. My only reason or selling this setup is that I was fortunate enough to get a used Riccardi-Honders and I don’t need two wide field setups. I can, however bring this to the 2023 NEAIC/NEAF convention in April. ![]() Nonetheless I would MUCH prefer local pickup. Leaf makes cases for touring musical groups so they’re made to take lots of abuse. The Leaf custom case is a thing of beauty. Images with this scope using a 2" L-Extreme Ha/OIII filter (not included) are amazing. The Octopi tilt corrector is really needed at this extremely low f-ratio. I have never had issues with this scope and it takes fantastic images, many of which can be seen on my site on astrobin under user=w4sm. If you’re reasonably polar aligned 5+ minute exposures are beautiful without guiding. ![]() ![]() If you want to get into wide field imaging this is a fantastic setup.

Now his minimum payments total $400 per month. When Jim repays his first debt, let's say one $100 minimum payment disappears.Each month, he pays this $500 total toward his debts. The minimum payments on his debts come to $500 per month. This term - popularized (but not invented) by Dave Ramsey - describes a method for rapidly repaying debt. Most of you are probably familiar with the debt snowball. ![]() To better explain the wealth snowball, it might help to first review the concept of the debt snowball. Your wealth snowball is your nest egg, your net worth. What on earth is a wealth snowball? It's the ever-increasing stash of cash you have in your banking and brokerage accounts as you boost your saving rate and earn returns on your investments. If you spend less than you earn, you'll build a wealth snowball that will allow you do do the things you dream of doing and to have the things you dream of having. (The complicated part, the tough part, is developing the skills and mental fortitude to make this happen.) The answer to every financial problem is to increase the gap between your earning and spending. It's reassuring to believe that the answer to your financial woes is somehow more complex. It sounds too basic, too facile and simplistic. Spend less than you earn - that's the basic rule of personal finance. I now believe know, for instance, that the single most important thing you can do to improve your financial situation is also the most elementary: Increase the gap between your earning and spending. Today, I want to talk about building a wealth snowball.Īfter nearly twelve years of writing about money, I've gone from not knowing anything to having some very strong opinions. To conclude “back to basics” month at Get Rich Slowly, today we're going to explore an important concept, one that's new to most people. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To view the contents of a folder at any time, you can use the ls command below.

The body comes clear so that you can add a custom paint job of your choosing and finish it off with the included detail decal sheet. Jeep fans will love this body as it blends iconic Jeep styling cues with the toughness that these trucks are known for. The Jeep body is far narrower than a stock Slash body and thus fully exposes the wheels to give it that trail truck look.

The pages that had illustrations with text just came out blank. The program has only failed me twice, both times for documents that contained large images distributed throughout the texts (think an article with a few maps and illustrations). And this is the kicker: it managed to catch enough of the Nahuatl (indigenous Mexican language) in my Nahuatl-English texts to make both languages searchable!
