![]() What is good about Pokki is that it is not ‘hardwired’ into the OS which means you can easily install and start using it without restarting your computer. Read more Windows 8 Start Menu with Added Featuresįirst of all, download and install Pokki. If you've recently installed or upgraded to Windows 8 and have started customizing programs onto its new Start. If a new Windows 8 computer doesn’t include a touch screen, don’t run Windows 8 without Pokki.Customize Windows 8 Metro Tile Icons With OblyTile We think it will make Windows 8 more usable especially for computers without a touch screen. Try out this excellent little free utility. ![]() Pokki solves one of the biggest complaints about Windows 8 coming from Windows 7 lovers. The list icon next to the search box shows the computer’s Windows 8 notifications. To search for apps and files installed on the system, enter text in the search box above the grid of favorite apps. Users can fix our biggest beef with the OS while still getting at what’s good about Windows 8. We find this a fair trade-off and think Pokki greatly improves the Windows 8 experience. Learn more about the Pokki app store and strategy in the following TeamPokki video. The company probably makes money offering free apps that software makers pay Pokki to include that users can install and maybe see ads or buy in-app upgrades. Pokki also shows links at the bottom of this section to popular apps that users can install coming from the Pokki app store. In the larger box right of the list explained above the user sees a grid of their favorite software. Next there’s the recent applications and the Shut Down button, and a fly out containing buttons to Log Off. ![]() Below those three fly out menus we get links to user media, like the user’s home folder, documents, music, pictures and Windows Explorer view of the user’s computer. We find our Internet Favorites, a fly out menu of All Apps installed on the system and a similar menu for Control Panel tools. Pokki makes their version of the Desktop the default interface instead hiding it.Ĭlick on the Window button and the familiar stack of recently launched application icons, along with links to often used features, gets displayed. The Task Bar didn’t go away in Windows 8, but Microsoft hid it in the Windows 8 Desktop interface that one must enter to run classic Windows 7 applications incompatible with the new Windows 8 user interface formerly called Metro UI. Pokki also restores the task bar which shows icons of often used programs for quick launch. Pokki installs on Windows 8 machines and puts a Windows button in the lower left corner of the screen. Rumors tell us Microsoft might make an about-face with regard to the Start button, but until they do, there’s Pokki. When Microsoft first introduced the Start Button in Windows 95, haters made fun of the operating system’s choice of the word “Start.” Because who asks users to hit a button labelled “Start” to end their current computing session? Now experienced Windows users are fully acclimated to the user interface and find it hard to adjust to Microsoft’s abrupt change. Many experienced Windows users find the new OS frustrating because it lacks the button present in every version of Windows for the last two decades. A free utility for Windows 8 called Pokki restores something that people who bought a new Windows 8 computer might miss: the Windows Start Button. ![]() That way if a potential employer is looking at you they’ll click into your profile and see your job/title history in full to get a better sense of your experience level and what you know rather than looking at your title and thinking “this guy could have 5 or 25 years of experience and I don’t actually know what he’s been working on”.Not all Chase branches offer Chase Private Client services.

He strongly recommended not including your level in your LinkedIn headline and instead including your function when you’re looking to network and progress. Had a Managing Director (actually a bigly title) come into our masters program to speak. Not that a VP at JPM isn’t a respectable job or anything, but it’s not like the “lead” for their function or the #2 in the office or anything like that. Source: work in finance, work with a lot of folks who worked at JPMC, and they are a customer of ours.Īs others have said, titles in banking (and often finance in general) can be very misleading. You need to have proved yourself at the company or at another company to get that level and you might have to wait for another director or MD to leave before you can move up to that level. It varies by company on the process but not everyone makes director and there are only so many based on headcount and gearing ratios. You usually need support and backing from senior managers to make those positions and you are put up for the director or managing director level by them. If you want to think of it in different terms director is like making partner and managing director is like making managing partner (without the financial buy in). I know some VPs who have been at the company for 20+ years and won’t get any higher.ĭirector and managing director are the more impressive titles. ![]() There are different levels of VP so some people spend decades in the VP level moving up the ranks but never get any further. You can get promoted to VP without much fanfare. Most people get to VP at some point by tenure and normal progression. VP is a step above associate level in finance.

This modern invention is encountering ink blotters for the very first time. Just a quick interlude before I bid you farewell to make mention about inks with sheen. It is a value-add for the product and you’ll only realize how much you’ve missed having it when you try one yourself. I can’t articulate how handy this simple piece of leather is. It prevents shadowing on sub-pages and it is also very useful for protecting the clean, unwritten parts of the page by placing the leather under your hand. While its main purpose is to be used as an ink blotter, it can also be used as a writing pad for comfortable writing (fantastic for a coffee shop, library or anywhere on the go). Each set of notebooks comes with this piece of multi-use leather which is cut to the size of the books. I have never, however, told you about one of my favorite features of these notebooks and that is the split leather that in included in each Everyday Book set. There are several blogs prior to this one where I have done just that. I need not take up your time expounding and waxing poetic about my love for Galen’s Everyday Books. Or, if you are Galen Leather, you can innovate, combining the best characteristics of the traditional leather desk set with the portability of sheets of blotter paper. For modern makers, the renewed awareness of the ink blotter offers an opportunity to expand the category. Herbin who has been making them since its inception in 1670, the attention to pen and ink has kept them flush with blotter users for centuries. As fountain pens have made a resurgence and interest in them has increased, the ink blotter is finding its way back onto people’s desks. Which brings us to now and some happy news for the ink blotter. ![]() This fine powder was still in use during medieval times when monks were copying manuscripts and even in the 18 th century as a more economical alternative to sprinkling salt on drying ink, a new, more expensive practice of the bourgeoisie. In fact, pounce, made from the bones of cuttlefish has a long history of use for preparing paper prior to writing and also setting paper afterwards. ink made from hide glue, carbon or bone pigment, ground into a paste and then dried in ceramic bowls, was being sprinkled with pounce to avoid smudging on papyrus. If we go back to 400,000 B.C., pigment was already being made in Africa and mixing tools suggest that sand and clay, combined with the sun were being used to dry and fix the ink. The history of the ink blotter is as long as writing with ink itself. Blotting paper is a textured, thick paper specifically made to quickly absorb excess ink. Before blotters were invented, the preferred method was sprinkling salt over fresh written text to speed the drying process. The term ink blotter refers either to a handheld rocking device or simple blotting paper, both used to absorb excess ink when writing with fountain pens. Sadly for me, long gone are the days when having a proper desk set was a symbol of wealth, professionalism or fashion, but one of the tools of the desk set has survived fads and trends to remain: the ink blotter. With my love of fashion, some would say that my past centuries’ sensibilities have to do with the clothing, but those of you who have read my previous articles are probably clued into the thing that most draws me to palaces, country estates and manors: t he desk set. Countless hours spent watching Merchant Ivory movies, every version of Little Women over and over and just about every episode of Masterpiece Theatre have reaffirmed this. I’ve often thought that I was born in the wrong century. The players are missing-they only have so many years of this. And the coaches want to do it really badly. ![]() And it will be a great thing for our country and the players. We have a couple of States that might not participate.īut people are working very, very hard to get Big 10 football back, and I'm pushing it. They may do it without having everybody, but I think they're going to have maybe Michigan, maybe Maryland. We hope the Governor puts a little pressure on so that we can have it, but I have a feeling they may do it. But we have a couple that-Maryland is another one. We hope that-and I know the Governor will have a lot to say about it. We have a lot of the colleges that we're talking about, they want to come back. And we hope that they do indeed stay open, and we want to see Big 10 football. It's also crucial for colleges and universities to stay open. And I think you see some slides behind me that are very new, very current. That's what we've learned from this whole ordeal.Īccording to the CDC, school closures disproportionately harm low-income and minority children, as well as those with disabilities. So, online, we think of so many things online and how great it is there's nothing like being in the classroom. According to a recent study, student progress in math decreased by half and-using online education compared to in-person or campus education. There is no substitute for in-person learning. Less than 0.2 percent-0.2 percent of the coronavirus deaths have occurred in those under the age of 25, and most had underlying conditions where there was a problem. Children are at extremely low risk of complications from the virus. On schools, as part of our science-based approach, we want schools to safely open and stay open. We already have therapeutics out there, by the way, which are having obviously a very big impact, because you look at that, you look at the way people are recovering, it's so much better than in the past before we knew about the disease and had anything to fight the disease. And I really do believe we're rounding the corner.Īnd the vaccines are right there, but even-not even discussing vaccines and not discussing therapeutics, we're rounding the corner. Very proud of everybody that worked on this. ![]() But the United States has done really well. Yesterday European nations experienced 50-percent more deaths than the United States. So Spain is being heavily impacted, France, and 400 percent in Italy. And as you remember, I stopped-I put a ban on people coming in from Europe after the ban I imposed on China, Wuhan-but because of Wuhan primarily, because that area was very infected. In the past 5 weeks, per capita cases doubled in France surged to over 300 percent in Spain, which I've been hearing about and speaking to some of the leaders of Spain, and they are having a hard time and increased more than 400 percent in Italy again. We're, hopefully, beyond our spike, and we'll see, but we're doing very well all over our country. ![]() They're having a very big spike over there. This is in contrast to nations in the European Union, which have recently experienced a sharp increase in cases. Deaths declined by 20 percent compared to just last week. ![]() New weekly cases have declined by 44 percent since July. We continue to make progress in our fight against the China virus. By contrast, the Obama-Biden administration had the slowest, weakest, and worst recovery in American history, as you know. We're witnessing the fastest labor market recovery from an economic crisis in our history. And we also did have tremendous retail growth, as you probably noticed. If we followed Joe Biden's strategy, we'd shut down the entire country after just having set records on growth. Nobody has recovered like we're recovering. We've experienced the smallest contraction of any western nation, meaning we've been affected less than any other Nation-western nation-and probably, almost, I think you can put us in-I just saw some numbers-I think you can put us into just about any category anywhere.
