In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to hide your recent searches from showing up when double-tapping the address and search field in a new Safari tab on iOS or iPadOS.Starting in iOS 18.4 and iPadOS 18.4, your recent searches will by default appear above the keyboard when opening a new tab in Safari and double-tapping the address and search field. If you'd prefer your search activity wasn't so immediately visible, you can turn this off by going to Settings > Apps > Safari, and toggling the "Show recent searches" switch off. Note that this will only hide recent searches from showing above the keyboard in the address and search field; it won't hide them from your browsing history. For searches you want to keep truly private from others who can access your device, you'd need to either clear your browsing history, or use private browsing.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Hey, Apple Visors, Tyler here, with a quick tip for how to hide your recent searches in Safari on iOS and iPadOS.With iOS and iPadOS 18.4, when opening a new tab in Safari and double tapping the Address and Search field, your recent searches will, by default, be displayed above the keyboard.While some may find this convenient if they, for example, perform the same searches often, users may not want their search history so visible.To turn this off, you'd go to Settings, Apps, Safari, and toggle the Show Recent Searches switch off.And I'm going to demonstrate that now on my iPhone.Settings.Settings, Apps, Button, Apps, Selected, Section Index, Adjustable.And swipe down to S. And tap in the center of the screen.And since the search heading, where the setting is located, is above the general heading, I'm going to swipe up.Swipe right.Show Recent Searches, this is off for me.If it's on for you and you want to turn it off, just double tap.Now keep in mind that this will not prevent someone from going through your web history and seeing your recent searches.It simply hides them from the search field in a new tab.So when you open a new tab and double tap the search field, your searches will not show up there, but they still will show up in your web history.For things that you'd want to stay private from others who may be able to access your device, you need to do something else like use private browsing or clear your web history.Either way, I hope you found this tip helpful.Peace.

Learn about helpful home gym equipment. This gear solves common problems or makes your lifting more fun, varied, or effective.  Helpful Strength Equipment for Your Home Gym You need a few items to begin strength training properly, though you can also start exercising today. As you progress and build the habit of strength training (and simultaneously get older) some equipment can help solve common problems you will likely encounter. Some of these items help add variety and make training more fun. Other gear helps deal with common injuries or pain points. Regardless, this list of items can help you build compliance and improve your training. If you use it, it is ultimately an investment in yourself and your health. Accessories for Accessory Work Accessory work can get repetitive if all you have is a barbell. A few pieces of equipment can multiply the potential hypertrophy and accessory work you can program. Adjustable dumbbells allow you to add dumbbell variations and accessory lifts without taking up a ton of space (and saving money compared to a full set of dumbbells). Not only can you perform dumbbell variations of the main lifts, you can also perform more accessory work that you simply cannot perform with barbells (e.g. dumbbell flies or lateral raises). A similar example of helpful strength equipment is a pulley system. This enables lat pull downs as well as using the pulley system for hypertrophy work (triceps, biceps, etc.). The last helpful items that focuses primarily on the upper body is getting a dip attachment to your power rack or an adjustable bench. They allow variation for pressing movements, and you can also perform accessory lifts on the bench. Enabling lower body accessory work comes in handy as you become more advanced, as deadlifts and squats don't only get repetitive but if you face a big injury, you might not be able to perform one or both of these lifts for awhile. Some helpful strength equipment for this area are a reverse hyper, glute ham raise, or leg extension/leg curl attachment. Some of these take up a lot of space, but getting just one of them can provide additional leg stress and make a big difference in your lower body training. Supplying Supplemental Lifts This might be the widest area, as we're talking about different types of barbells and other items that can modify the main lifts. A deadlift bar can really help your deadlift 1RM, as it has a smaller diameter and more whip (which reduces the range of motion). An axle bar for the press or bench press reduces your ability to grip the bar but enables good pressing variants. It is also necessary if you're considering Strong Man training. Getting a slingshot or board attachment can help overload the bench and work on the top portion of your bench. The slingshot can also help if you have shoulder pain. Bands and chains are helpful strength equipment that enables accommodating resistance. The safety squat bar and football bar (and variations of both) not only add supplemental variations to the lifts but can also prevent pain for the shoulders and wrists specifically. Convenience & Climate The last area of helpful strength equipment includes items that add convenience to your lifting or improve the atmosphere of the gym. The monolift attachment allows you to not have to take a step bar or move the bar from the pins to the shoulders on the bench. It provides the most benefit to the most people for the bench press, as many find it reduces or eliminates shoulder pain. Niki also uses it for the RDL. A deadlift jack makes loading and unloading plates easier for any lift that has the barbell on the ground, especially the deadlift. A 1-arm deadlift jack is smaller and more mobile – you can put it in your gym bag. A 2-arm deadlift jack makes more sense if you have a decent amount of space in your home gym or for public gyms. Wrist wraps & lifting straps help with wrist support or grip support for compression or tension grips. Ammonia or smelling salts help bring focus and intensity to big attempts. Clothes help you feel and perform better. Clothes really are helpful strength equipment. A timer or watch can ensure that you don't waste time in the gym between sets and make the rest time consistent. This is especially important at a public gym or if you're a coach, because the lifter isn't paying you to tell them stories. Last but probably not least for most people is something to help with climate control, specifically heating or cooling your gym.

Follow along with me, Allen Hall, and IntelStor's Phil Totaro, as we discuss the weird, the wild, and the game changing ideas that will charge your energy future. All right, our first idea of the week is an adjustable rotor shaft assembly for wind turbines. And as we know, there's all kinds of issues with anything rotating equipment on a wind turbine. Particularly if it involves gears and teeth. Well, this idea from Flender describes an adjustable rotor shaft assembly for connecting a gearbox to the generator. And the key feature is it uses a curved tooth coupling with the releasable support element which allows the both ends to move relative to one another, which And a lot of wind turbines, if you've been up in them, there is a lot of movement at times, and it lets that misalignment not destroy. The assembly. And this is really slick because we have all kinds of issues, like I've said, on anything with teeth, on, on some of these bigger wind turbines as the, the blades get bigger and they get taller and everything's moving around. Phil, this makes a lot of sense. I'd be surprised if Flinders not using this already though. Philip Totaro: Yes, I would hope so. We haven't been able to confirm it, but presumably for the turbines with larger capacity gearboxes for the, the larger onshore machines and maybe even some of the offshore ones. I would hope that this technology is being utilized because it will absolutely help make a difference in kind of bending moment and gear misalignment issues which can create a lot of maintenance work for, for the turbines. While the services folks may not be happy about it because they might be losing some, losing some revenue opportunities the owners and operators absolutely would love this kind of technology to be implemented because it's it's going to allow for a gearbox to be able to, to be operated in a slightly wider loads window which is also kind of an interesting application to this because, even in a market like the U. S. where we know that a lot of owners and operators are, are kind of PTC farming. They're not just wind farming. And what that means is they want to be able to extract as much out of the turbine as they can. for the first 10 years of, of an asset life. A technology like this might actually be helpful in making sure that the gearbox lasts the full 10 years before you see any kind of major drop off in performance. So any technology where you can accommodate this kind of gear misalignment is going to be a good one for owners and operators and, and the gearbox manufacturers themselves. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I mean, if you have a small rigid component then you can have a fixed gear, fixed location. It's easy to keep it in line where you don't have a whole lot of crazy loads on it. But like, Allen was saying at the beginning of the section here, when you're bent,

In this episode, Nate and Ben explore essential financial topics for physician families, including the management of inherited assets and considerations for insurance coverage. The conversation also touches on investment strategies and mortgage options relevant in today's climate.Key Points:- Consolidating Inherited Accounts: Consolidation of inherited IRAs and retirement plans can lead to simplified management and easier calculations for required minimum distributions (RMDs).- Disability Insurance Considerations: Advisors recommend a careful assessment of the need for disability insurance, particularly as one approaches retirement. Canceling such policies should be done cautiously.- Investment Strategy Awareness: The risks of engaging in new investment strategies—especially those focused on tax loss harvesting—are discussed. The hosts caution against solutions that generate losses rather than genuine growth.- Managing Inherited Stocks: Holding onto inherited single stocks might carry sentimental value, but diversification is essential for long-term financial health. A stepped-up basis allows for potential tax advantages when selling inherited stocks.- Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs): The hosts explain ARMs as a viable option for home financing, highlighting their benefits in specific situations, particularly for those who do not plan to stay in their homes long-term.- Impact of Financial Decisions: The importance of aligning financial strategies with long-term goals is emphasized, particularly for high-income professionals like physicians navigating their unique challenges.Additional Resources:Visit www.physicianfamily.com for more information on personalized financial planning and to schedule a consultation.Disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only and is not intended as financial advice.ARE YOU GETTING ALL THE TAX BREAKS YOU REALLY DESERVE?To find out, get your copy of The Overtaxed Doctor's Retirement Investing Checklist at https://physicianfamily.com/goGOT A QUESTION?Write to us at podcast@physicianfamily.com.NOTICEPhysician Family Financial Advisors Inc., a registered investment advisor, has reasonable belief that the information and content as a whole does not include any false or materially misleading statements or omissions of facts regarding services, investments, or client experience.

Real estate investing in 2024 isn't as easy as a few years ago. When interest rates are low, housing inventory is high, the economy is booming, and everyone's happy, real estate investors can take considerably more risks with bigger payoffs. But now, only the most savvy investors are finding cash flow, appreciation potential, and wealth-building properties. So, with little hope in sight for lower rates or home prices, how do you ensure you're building wealth, not getting burnt, in the challenging 2024 housing market?

If, like me, you check mortgage interest rates like an expectant parent checks their wife's contractions, you doubtless will have analyzed every type of loan product in an attempt to inch the currently high rates down.  Famed financial guru Suze Orman recently appeared on CNN extolling the virtues of an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM). But to many American homebuyers, mentioning an ARM is like the Ghost of Christmas Past returning to haunt us once more: Weren't ARMs partly to blame for the 2008 financial crash?  ARMs were derided in 2008 because many Americans got into financial trouble. Once their interest rates adjusted upward after three, five, or seven years, borrowers could not refinance down to a lower rate and fell into foreclosure. So why is Orman—whose monetary advice tends to be conservative—suggesting we go ice skating on a financial frozen lake? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My guest this week is Stephen Schultz, who besides being an expert flautist specializing in Baroque flute, is an Associate Teaching Professor in Music History and Flute at Carnegie Mellon University and director of the Carnegie Mellon Baroque Orchestra. Stephen is also an advocate for hearing protection for all musicians as he's learned to overcome his personal difficulties with hearing loss. Many people falsely identify hearing loss with rock musicians, but the fact is that 52% of classical musicians have some degree of permanent hearing damage, as opposed to only 30% of rock musicians. The latest generation of hearing aids are so sophisticated that musicians can now wear them without any impediments to their playing, and so many high profile musicians are now doing so that the stigma of wearing hearing aids has now greatly diminished. During our interview Stephen and I spoke about discovering he had a hearing problem, finding the right hearing aids for music, why more orchestral members suffer from hearing loss than even rock musicians, advice on looking for the right pair, and so much more. I spoke with Stephen via zoom from his home in Pittsburg.  On the intro I looked at how Spotify may be introducing a new song speed feature soon, and whether we've reached Peak Music Gear as fewer new music and audio products are released.  var podscribeEmbedVars = { epId: 99250945, backgroundColor: 'white', font: undefined, fontColor: undefined, speakerFontColor: undefined, height: '600px', showEditButton: false, showSpeakers: true, showTimestamps: true };

In this short podcast episode, Bryan dives into some belt talk, including some bits about pulleys and sheaves. He also shares some belt tensioning tips for your next commercial HVAC job. Belts are less common than they used to be, but we find them in ventilation fans, RTUs, and AHUs. Squealing belts indicate slippage, which indicates fan inefficiency and energy losses. Belts transmit energy from the motor (pulley) to the fan or blower wheel being driven by it. Motor mounts may be adjustable, but there will be a means of adjusting the tension of the belt. Before we change or replace a belt, we need to make sure the belt is properly aligned (centers should have the proper distance and pitch). Common sense and good observation skills will be your best tools. Adjustable sheaves shouldn't be touched when you're changing the belt; the adjustment of the sheave is for airflow based on the RPM of the fan motor, not tensioning or setting amperage. We set belt tension by tensioning with a specific tool: a belt tensioner. Belts should be as loose as possible without slipping, but belts will loosen a bit over time and with everyday use, and they may slip eventually. Wear on the pulleys may also cause belts to slip. Cogged belts, also called notch belts, may bend more easily, last longer, and be more efficient due to reduced resistance (compared to non-cogged belts). Belt efficiency can also be affected by alignment and tightness (being too tight).   Learn more about the 5th Annual HVACR Training Symposium at https://hvacrschool.com/Symposium24.
