![]() I can understand the benefit of living frugally and even minimalistic. Utilizing the FIRE methods, since you'd be living off a fixed “income” from your portfolio, it seemed like everyone was more focused on cutting expenses, like daily lattes. Then you add in a car, mortgage, a nice dinner out, and an occasional trip… no way that would work. Many of us are paying that much in loan payments alone. When I read about $30,000 a year in expenses it sounded not only frugal, but almost more like deprivation. What does he do now? I talk more about that later in this post… 2) You have to live extremely frugally for FIRE to work. He grew his portfolio, achieved financial freedom, worked part time a while, then retired at the ripe age of 43. I didn't know a single doctor who had built up a portfolio and simply retired… that is until I met the Physician on Fire. Many others would leave medicine and find a different way to impact others. For many physicians, if finances weren't an issue, many would still remain in medicine, but practice differently. However, as I began to hear more and more about physicians burning out and as I began to meet other physicians who left medicine to pursue other ventures, the idea didn't seem so crazy anymore.Īs I began to understand more about the FIRE movement, I realized it was more about choices and options. Physicians have worked too hard to get where they're at to even consider the idea of retiring. While I was reading some of those other FIRE blogs and how people were replacing their incomes and quitting their jobs, it didn't seem that this was something physicians would do. ![]() Here are those top 5 misunderstandings: 1) It doesn’t apply to physicians Then I came across a blog called Physician on Fire and over the years he’s helped me realize that some of my understandings about the FIRE movement weren’t quite correct. At the same time I was learning how to create positive cash flow from real estate and decided the FIRE movement wasn't a great fit. ![]() I thought about my life as a doctor, paying student loans, living in California, having kids, wanting to travel and I decided, nope, it's not for me. The idea sounded fascinating but then when I looked at his numbers, I saw his yearly expenses amounted to $30,000. Once your portfolio reaches a certain size, you can retire early and draw 4% annually from the portfolio to live off of. In it, he talked about how you can use your current savings rate, your current expenses, and something called the 4% withdrawal rate to figure out when you could retire. Money Mustache, The Shockingly Simple Math Behind Early Retirement. I was introduced to the concept when I stumbled upon a blog post years ago by Mr. It’s actually an acronym that stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. Here at PIMD this week we are celebrating all things FIRE, especially our WCI Network partner, The Physician on FIRE, who left medicine over a year ago at age 43.

The development of a steam iron that boiled one drop of water at a time made the steam iron practical and very popular. Just as streamlining was enabled by new technology, so was its demise. Streamlining and early Electric steam irons A stunning exception to this is the Knapp-Monarch Steam King whose wood handle does not try beyond the wood's plasticity and achieves a wonderfully integrated and unique streamlined profile. The results were usually awkward and not as cleanlined. Some attempts were made to use wood, a material of the previous generation, as a 'plastic' material. This, above a base used numerous times with completely different handles. Knapp- Monarch, who produced more variety in this field than any other manufacturer, used in this iron an unparalleled combination of multiple pieces of Bakelite, chrome bands, chrome leaves, color and texture. Then there are the irons that had a way unto themselves, and the Lady Dover 380 is one. At the end of the period the handle became completely integrated into the base: see the Westinghouse ID-72 as the prime example. Four first rate examples of this are the Erla F10, Montgomery Ward 24-DE-2669, General Mfg. Most irons of this period were like this. Later, the handles became a single piece extending to the cowl at front and rear. In fact, GE, called this iron The Moderne. Its base, though somewhat squared off, continues the line of the handle and so together a truly new (modern) look is seen. The GE 149F84 successfully uses the new material Bakelite for its streamlined possibilities. Its handle is old style and the base is new style. The materials could be used plastically, that is moldable, so that soft curves could be produced and very wide variations in designs could be achieved.Įarly on, streamlined irons were smoother versions of early electrics: the bases were made with softer edges. The idea of streamlining and the materials, Bakelite, chromium plated steel and cast aluminum, were compatible. (Later it would be learned that weight is virtually unnecessary for the chore of ironing wrinkled clothes: steam will enable fabric to straighten out almost by itself.) It is ironic that an Iron, a word conveying weight, should aspire to and appear non-weighty but it was as well suited to the idea as were train locomotives and graphics. It conveys lightness, speediness, simpleness, sleekness, frugalness and the like. The leading edge is pointed and smoothed all is curved and curved softly. One can see it by thinking of what can be done to minimize the wind resistance of an object. Henry Dreyfuss, the pioneering and respected US industrial designer, is said to have called streamlining cleanlining. ![]() ![]() Irons from other countries show that they each had their own appealing answers to what a streamlined iron looks like. This collection is nearly all from the USA, and what is said here is about irons from the U.S. The development was not linear at every point. Some manufacturers used the idea earlier than others and others abandoned it sooner. It does not necessarily apply to actual year(s) the iron was produced. When an iron is said to be early, late or otherwise described, this applies to the development of streamlined design as it is seen in irons. ![]() Since then it has grown to number near 250, with 80 or more different manufacturers represented. The collection began in the early 1980s with a small cache of irons found at a church rummage sale. ![]() Lehmann ("Lehmann") stated in an interview with Financial Times that customer outflows had not only "completely flattened out," but had, in fact, "partially reversed."

Gwyneth Paltrow Recalls "British Press Being So Horrible" After Her 'Shakespeare in Love' Oscar Win: "Totally Overwhelming" ![]() It's honestly kind of a pain in my opinion. That's all I've got for the tone curve tool in Lightroom Classic. Below, I'm increasing the overall contrast of the photo by dropping the blacks in the exposure panel and raising the whites. When I wrote the first draft of this guide, I noted that this process was something I stumbled into and had no idea how "right" it is, so it was somewhat nice to discover that I wasn't alone in using the exposure panel to control the overall tone of my images. Betty, on the other hand, decreases highlights. Most of the time, when I start editing, my image is already accurately exposed so I don't tend to touch overall exposure but I almost always push down the blacks in my images in order to create more contrast. BASIC panel in Lightroom ExposureĪnyway, it was interesting to discover that Betty and I had found our way to many similar steps in our editing but approached them with different goals in mind. ![]() She spent an afternoon with a wedding photographer learning the basics of Lightroom and then found her footing through tinkering. You should pause reading here and go scroll through her entire Instagram feed because the progression in her editing style from when she started out in 2016 to now is so fast and so phenomenal. So I got in touch and we had a long and wonderful chat about editing. Her edits always compliment her photos so well. She has a very strong aesthetic that somehow never tips over into being excessive. Okay, enough about organization and on to the fun part, the editing! As I was starting to write this, I was thinking about photographers whose editing style I admire and Betty quickly came to mind. I keep this year and last year always accessible on my computer and at the end of the year, I archive the catalog that is 2 years old onto an external hard drive. Currently, I have separate catalogs for clients and for myself by year. I know, editing is definitely way more fun to think about then cataloging but if you keep your work well organized, it will benefit you later down the road. Anyway, I usually have a vague recollection of some photo that I may have taken and I just have to spend 30 or 40 minutes diving around my archive to find it. The smart image search in Lightroom CC is definitely a feature I’m deeply smitten with and one reason I’d like to fully switch over. Honestly, I’m awful about diligently keywording my photos. Often, I need to find photos from 2 or 3 years back and I wish I could report that I’ve been excellent about keywording all of my work and adding pertinent information. 5 years later and about 200,000 photos in, the cataloging function of Lightroom has become much more important to me. At that time, I was just taking photos for fun. I jumped right in and didn’t think much about my photo organization. When I started using Lightroom, I always thought of it as an editing tool. Since Lightroom Classic is where I do most of my edits these days, this guide is focused on using that but I will likely do another one for Lightroom CC when I fully switch over. Occasionally, I get pinged by various companies coming out with new photo editing programs but at the moment I use Lightroom, Photoshop and VSCO actively. I've thought about purchasing Capture One, since the go to for most photographers when they're shooting tethered but I've resisted thus far. So my typical workflow is still within Lightroom Classic and I export JPEGs to dropbox folders to send to myself or clients. I’m slowly trying to transition to Lightroom CC because I’m excited by the possibility of having constant access to my catalog on all of my devices but am currently frustrated by their lack of preset syncing and custom export settings (UPDATE: preset syncing is getting rolled out now!). ![]() Professional Photo Editing SoftwareĪnyway, I currently use Lightroom Classic on my main computer for most of my photo cataloging and editing. I think it’s good to learn and understand all the programs because there are slight difference that enable you to do specialized things. Additionally, within the Adobe suite, you can spend months diving into all the programs and discovering that aside from Lightroom, you can often do the exact same things in Photoshop or Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw. Whether you’re new to Lightroom or have been using it for years, I think it’s important to realize that there are multiple ways to do just about everything in Lightroom. Lightroom has been my go to for photo cataloging and editing for the last 5 years. You can also find all of my photography gear recommendations here.

Users can select which devices’ speakers the sound goes into by hovering over the ‘Audio Device’ section within the ‘Audio’ tab this feature is necessary because of the amount of headphones, devices, and speakers that people own.

Mark seems to relish combat with his ex-wife (smugness drips from McCabe in this role). In fact, all the white people in Fulfillment are, to varying degrees, hypocritical and ghoulish. Flood's unsettlingly dead-eyed portrayal brings to mind playwright Charles Ludlam's adage, "You are a living mockery of your own ideals." "I have some tampons in case you need one to put in your vagina," the feminist meditation junkie whispers into Michael's ear. Still, Bradshaw makes it clear that getting to this place has made Michael an alcoholic and getting further will require him to become a success-addicted monster.įlood plays his Lady Macbeth with a determination that is simultaneously cruel and blasé, igniting the flint of his ambition. But while Treadwell's 1928 expressionist drama told the story of a loser in the system of American capitalism, Michael is by all reasonable measures a winner. The tone has a lot in common with Sophie Treadwell's Machinal, which gives the similar sensation of being on a conveyor belt: This is especially true with Mikhail Fiskel and Miles Polaski's manic sound design, which interpolates the clamor of a sleepless city (a taxi horn, a cash register, a coffee maker) into a jazz improvisation it is the ambient noise of us cogs grinding in the machine, making it up as we go along. The versatile set easily transforms into a host of other spaces through the use of furniture and a doorframe on castors, which the performers manipulate with seamless efficiency.Įthan McSweeny's unrelenting production churns forward as Bradshaw's short, cruel scenes cut from one to the next. Scenic designer Brian Sidney Bembridge crafts Michael's shoebox with subtle suggestion: Empty bottles of top-shelf liquor occupy space on the upstage wall next to other props and costume pieces. ![]() Outwardly, Bradshaw's play exposes the folly of stuffing millionaires with giant senses of entitlement into tiny shoeboxes and stacking them on top of one another. "That should give me the right to have peace in my home." Has he read the condo bylaws? Following a confrontation, Ted starts rolling a bowling ball across the hardwood floors. Sarah tries to help Michael kick the habit by meditating with him between sessions of violent kinky sex (choreographed with utmost realism and nudity by Yehuda Duenyas).Įven with everything he has, Michael can't seem to concentrate in his new home: His prickly upstairs neighbor Ted (an absurdly vindictive Jeff Biehl) constantly blasts heavy metal while his daughter runs amok. He's willing to reconsider his position if Michael lands a multi-million-dollar account with a famous basketball player (Otoja Abit). Senior partner Mark (Peter McCabe) insists that Michael hasn't been passed up for being black, but for being an alcoholic. "You should be living in a five-million-dollar apartment," fellow lawyer and romantic interest Sarah (Susannah Flood) tells him, positing that the only reason he's 40 and not yet a partner is because he's black. The only problem is that Michael doesn't live in average America, but the land of unquenchable greed. While his latest, Fulfillment (now making its New York debut at the Flea Theater), isn't as viscerally revolting, Bradshaw's mélange of race, power, and ambition will leave more than a few audience members feeling queasy.įrom the vantage point of the average American, our protagonist Michael (Gbenga Akinnagbe) has everything: a well-paying job at a prestigious law firm, an exciting sex life, and a $1.5 million apartment in one of Manhattan's coolest neighborhoods. His last show in New York, Intimacy (2014 with the New Group), soaked the front rows of the audience in simulated bodily fluids. To call playwright Thomas Bradshaw a "provocateur" is to make a serious understatement. Susannah Flood and Gbenga Akinnagbe star in Thomas Bradshaw's Fulfillment, directed by Ethan McSweeny, at the Flea Theater. ![]() -a, -ad-hoc - run using an ad-hoc SSL context.Ī Dockerfile is provided with sqlite-web.-c, -cert and -k, -key - specify SSL cert and private key.-u, -url-prefix: URL prefix for application, e.g. Use the NuGet package manager to search for the sqlite-net-pcl package and add the latest version to your.Multiple extensions, specify -e for each extension. -e, -extension: path or name of loadable extension(s).-R, -rows-per-page: set pagination on content page, default 50 rows.-r, -read-only: open database in read-only mode. ![]() Then look for the SQLite icon, drag it to toolbar.
