Planning projects probably doesn’t sound exciting right now, from the place of being burned out. So a lot of you are probably feeling burned out from this pandemic. But the planning itself is an act that changes us. Not ending up where we planned is expected. You can also reassess what’s important during the year, as an act of continual renewal and course correction. Of choosing where you’d like to go, and creating new possibility for yourself and others.Īnd as you navigate in that direction during the year, getting off course is part of the journey – you can look at what’s throwing you off course and use that as a place of learning and practice. Setting a direction at the beginning of the year is an important act of reflection, of imagining, of deciding what’s important to you. That said, the planning I’ve done at the beginning of the year has mattered, a lot. The last couple of years have really driven that point home. If you look back at my plans for the last handful of years, you’ll see that I often miss at least half of my targets, and what I actually did during the year couldn’t be predicted at the beginning, because you never know what will unfold during the year. The first thing to acknowledge is that our year never goes according to plan. I’ll also invite you to a live training I’ll be doing next week on yearly planning! Why Planning Your Year is Important In this post, I’ll talk about why planning your year is important, how to deal with burnout you might be feeling, and the process I use for planning my year. If you’re feeling like you’re in a bit of a rut, this is the perfect time to make the most of this year’s blank slate. The beginning of the year offers such a beautiful blank slate.Ī fresh beginning is something to take advantage of: we can start anew, and reinvent our lives. There is a tagged unarr and p7zip version of the image for each supported architecture. You can read more about docker manifests here. This image supports multiple architectures, specifically x86-64 and arm64, through the use of a docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. This docker image is also available from the GitHub container registry: ghcr.io/xthursdayx/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker Supported Architectures If you would like to use the default unarr backend, then you do not need to add a tag to xthursdayx/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker since it will default to the latest/ unarr tag. In practice, the unarr rarely causes issues as the vast majority of comic books use either zip or RAR4 compression, which is handled nicely by this backend, and after the initial library creation, library updates proceed smoothly with either decompression backend. There is also some evidence that YACReaderLibraryServer compiled with p7zip may scan and create your comics library(s) faster than the version complied with unarr, so the choice is yours. It should be noted, however, that as of version 1.0.1, unarr supports fewer formats than p7zip, notably RAR5. These two versions are handled via the Docker repository tags xthursdayx/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker:pzip or xthursdayx/yacreaderlibrary-server-docker:unarr.įor the best stability and general quality, it is recommended that you install YACReaderLibraryServer with unarr, so this version is the default installation. You can choose to install one of two versions of the YACReaderLibraryServer docker image, each compiled with a different compression backend - either p7zip or unarr. YACReaderLibraryServer makes it easy to run a home comics server to serve your comics to any device running a YACReader client (including Windows, MacOS, and Linux as well the YACReader iOS app). YACReader is the best comic reader and comic manager available, with support for cbr, cbz, zip, and rar comic files. Headless version of the YACReaderLibraryServer, running on a custom base image built with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS cloud image and S6 overlay. In general I am finding that for the first time in digital still photography, the video card is by far the dominant factor in performance. Peiker wrote:Doing a little more testing for my client base on the Topaz stuff. I have also tested an older system with a 4GHz i7(4 core and 4th generation) with 32GB of RAM, but with a modern 8GB RAM graphics card and the performance was very acceptable again proving that the graphics card is the most important thing.Į.J. Outstanding performance would be a 10-12 core i9 at 3.5Ghz, 64GB of RAM, and a modern graphics card with 8GB or more of video RAM. My recommendation for a good system would be a 4-6 core i7 at 3Ghz (6th generation or later), 32GB of RAM, and a modern graphics card with 6GB of video RAM. Bottom line, for the best experience, regardless of what the Topaz requirements are, my minimum configuration for Topaz AI tools would be a 4 core i7 (6th generation or later) at 2.5GHz, 16GB of RAM, and a modern graphics card with 4GB of RAM. I find that there is a threshold around 4GB of video RAM where performance takes a fairly significant step and then again between 6 and 8GB, Above that I don't find much change. Even a fairly recent fast 4 core i7 laptop with 16GB of RAM but either Intel graphics or a discrete graphics card with just 2GB of video RAM does not provide a satisfying experience with some of the AI tools. Furthermore they are all very important where previously you could compromise on cores and graphics card and still get a good experience. With the AI tools it is graphics card, system RAM CPU Speed, CPU Cores. While video card performance has become an increasing factor in smoothness of the post processing flow over the last few years, it was always, in order of importance, total system RAM, CPU speed, CPU Cores, graphics card. Also in a stack of Topaz Studio adjustments, place it last and disable it (click on the eyeball icon in the tool) until you are ready to render the image out of Studio to prevent it from recalculating with every single adjustment you make inside Studio.ĭoing a little more testing for my client base on the Topaz stuff. Under no circumstances would I recommend running these in CPU mode - it can make a 20 second operation into a 20 minute one even with a modern i7 processor.Īnother tip is to run the AI Clear version included in Topaz Studio rather than the one that is an option in Denoise AI - it is literally 10 times as fast on some computers and works reasonably well even on older computers. Older computers with older graphics cards will be relatively slow to run these tools. These tools really come into their own for speed with a modern video card with 8GB of RAM as they are incredibly computationally intensive. If your graphics card has less than 4GB of video RAM do not expect really great performance. We have discussed this elsewhere on NSN but to repeat, go into each of the AI applications' preferences and make sure that GPU with maximum memory usage is enabled. Now shut down Photoshop and restart and they will be there.Īnother issue people are running into with the AI tools is incredibly slow performance, especially on mobile computers and moreso with ATI card Macs than others (including Intel embedded graphics). To enable this, go into Photoshop and under Preferences > Plugins enable "Additional Plug-ins folder" and then just navigate to the Topaz folder under Programs or Applications on your computer. The second problem is that even once installed, sometimes they don't show up in the Photoshop Filters Panel. Just double click on them there and it will proceed with the install. The program is still on your computer and you simply need to go to the Downloads folder and you will find it there - the file names are pretty obvious. When downloading, if you don't launch the DL's program right away from the DL notification tab at the bottom of your browser, it disappears (that's true for all downloaded content).

So, what types of mochi are there, and in what kinds of dishes will you find it? Mochi is largely used in many types of wagashi, Japanese sweets (lovely when paired with matcha green tea), as well as in many savory Japanese dishes. Here we’ll introduce 17 common (and not-so-common) types of Japanese mochi. To see how mochi is made, check out our video below where byFood host Shizuka makes traditional New Year's mochi. If you grill or boil it, it will return to its original stretchy and chewy consistency. Freshly-made mochi will become hard over time, so to preserve it, the mochi is pre-portioned and dried or frozen to keep for up to a year. Mochi can be made into small bite-sized pieces and eaten in many ways. Once smooth and stretchy, you can eat the mochi immediately. A group activity, the collaborative nature of making mochi brings people together. However, making mochi together with family and friends is still commonly practiced throughout Japan as a part of celebrating the Japanese New Year. Mochitsuki is hard work, but now of course there are machines to do this process. One person is needed to pound the mochi, and the other person to turn it over and add water to get the right consistency and texture. This pounding of the rice into mochi is called mochitsuki. Making mochi the traditional way involves a mortar and a heavy mallet with at least two people. Firstly, the mochigome is soaked in water overnight, then it is steamed, and finally mashed and pounded into its soft, sticky state. Mochi is made from glutinous, short-grain rice called mochigome (mochi rice), which is known for having a chewier texture than regular rice. A typical piece of mochi is a sticky and stretchy dough made of rice that has been pounded until smooth and can take on a variety of sweet and savory forms. Different regions of Japan have different mochi specialties and mochi is also widely used in home cooking. However, mochi is very versatile with endless flavor possibilities and is used in a number of different Japanese dishes. On its own, mochi tastes like rice but has a sticky, stretchy, soft, and chewy texture. Learn more about other iconic New Year's dishes in Osechi Ryori: Symbolic Japanese New Year Foods and Their Meanings. Now eaten all year round, mochi still has associations with various festivals and seasonal events throughout the year, such as Japanese New Year celebrations. In ancient Japan, it was believed that mochi held a divine presence, so it was regarded as a sacred food that was eaten for health and good fortune. It has potential but to much fennel seeds I will recommend to use one tsp. Oh well it tasted really good and worth making it a regular monthly meal. My only negative was I kept forgetting to put the lid so stream could escape preserving the green color. I loved it and haven’t had broccoli soup in years. My local grocery was out of leaks so I used scallions and added a couple small potatoes for texture. I used fresh fennel instead of seeds so mine fennel was the right amount. (Using a Food Processor) Alternatively, using a food processor, add in the roasted and cooled cashews and the vanilla bean to your processor bowl and process for 20 minutes or so until a creamy butter forms, scrapping down the sides of the bowl often. The cashew cream does add a velvety texture and rich flavor. I’d make this again as an immunity booster but not a crowd pleaser. I used half the fennel seed and garlic and it’s still largely washed out with tannins and alliums. Make sure you're using a broth you really like (I've been on a Better than Bouillon kick)Ĭashew cream definitely saves this soup. I'm surprised this one has a relatively low rating - I thought it was well-balanced! I am a fan of fennel though, and I did add some extra garlic. I would really appreciate you posting nutrition information with recipes I haven’t tried this yet, but sounds delicious Top with a few dill sprigs and season with pepper. (If the soup is no longer hot, you can return it to the pot and reheat gently before serving.) Step 6ĭivide soup among bowls and drizzle with remaining cashew cream. Working in batches if needed, transfer broccoli mixture to a blender or food processor and add salt, ¼ cup dill, and ½ cup cashew cream. Bring to a boil and cook until broccoli is tender, 8–10 minutes. Cover pot with a lid, setting it slightly askew to allow steam to escape (this will help the broccoli maintain its vibrant green color). Add broccoli and broth and increase heat to medium-high. Add garlic and fennel seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Cook leek, stirring often and reducing heat if needed to avoid leek taking on any color, until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. If your broccoli has a long stem, peel tough outer layer, then slice stem ¼" thick. After your nut butter is very smooth, add extra cup of walnuts and pulse 7-10 times until they are broken up but still leave a slightly chunky texture. I love the flavor of coconut oil in nut butter. Transfer the nuts to your Vitamix and blend on high for 3-minutes, using the tamper to constantly push the nut butter into the blades. If you nut butter never quite gets smooth, add walnut oil or coconut oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, to smooth it out. Place the nuts on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Add garlic, oil, salt, and ½ cup water and purée until smooth.Ĭut broccoli into 1" florets. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Step 2ĭrain cashews and transfer to a blender (preferably high-speed) or food processor. Add cashews and let sit until tender, 30–60 minutes.
