If you are a college student, you will have most likely been asked to complete an essay on your need to have fun with your friends and peers, whilst at the same time making sure that you reach all the goals and educational requirements that are required along the way. If you are the type of student that’s got a part-time job, has a healthy social life but at the same time, wants to make sure that you meet and finish your essay requests in the given deadline, you need to make sure that you complete each task in good time. Let’s now take a look at some of the areas that you could consider when you are trying to get your article done quickly.

Plan your time

Making the best use of your time before you start to write an article or essay is very important. If you get some time in the day where you know you could fit some writing in, then it is best to use this time in a productive way. If you work in 15-minute intervals, you will find that you may write more effectively, as you will not be bogged down with writer’s fatigue.

Understanding the question

When writing an essay or an article, you need to make sure that you read any questions carefully. Understanding the question, in its entirety, is the best way of cutting down the time when you’re writing your essay. It is far easier to write anything where you have a greater depth of understanding as to what is required. If you struggle with understanding the question, it is worth contacting your college professors immediately, so that they can help you. Once you have understood the question, it’s the time to start writing your essay.

Research

Research is a vital component when you are writing anything. If you methodically go through each point of your essay and understand each element that you need to include in your essay, you will find that this is a far better way of saving time when constructing your essay. Good and solid research will enable you to write full paragraphs about a particular subject and this will enable you to be able to shorten it if it becomes too long. It is far easier to write too much rather than having to stretch out a smaller subject, that you’re do not understand.

Time management

It is recommended that you spend about twenty percent of the time you are going to spend on your essay outlining and drafting what you are going to write about. As mentioned above, time really is a key factor in making sure that you can get through your essay as quickly as you can. One of the main reasons why it can take longer than originally intended is the lack of understanding or poor time management. You need to be able to back up each point with evidence to support your essay, so if you structure it from the offset you’ll be able to create a well-formed essay.

Existing articles

It is also advisable to look at other essay assignments that are similar to the one you have been requested to do. Background reading in this area will give you an idea as to what is expected and what to include in your essay. It is not always easy to understand what is required at first, but this is a surefire way of helping you to understand the process and how to do it in a more efficient way. It is recommended that you spend about of your time actually writing the article or essay and as mentioned previously, twenty percent of your time should be taken up by the drafting element of your essay. Using these approximate percentages should give you an idea as to how long you should spend on each section. You must make sure that you have plenty of time at the end to just review/edit what you have written.

Hiring an essay writer

As you can see from the above, we have mentioned the best way to speed up the process of writing the article is to do it yourself. However, if you’re in a situation where you could hire a writer to write on your behalf, you could find that you can free up some valuable time. There are many sites online that will offer you this kind of service. It will all depend on the type of essay that you require and how much expertise is needed in order for a price to be formulated. The disadvantage of getting someone else to write an essay for you is that you have to pay somebody else to do it. In turn, you will have the article written without it impacting on any of your time. It is advisable, however, to make sure that you fully understand the subject that your writer will write about so that you don’t have any gaps in your knowledge for not completing it yourself.

Apple computers and the MacOS are widely thought of to cause very few problems for the millions of people who use them.

However, Apple computers suffer some of the very same problems as those with Windows, what unique issues might you potentially have to deal with at some point?

The most common problem with the MacOS and Apple computers is startup difficulty. This typically involved the computer failing to start up properly, leaving users with nothing more than a blank screen or in some cases a gray startup screen rather than their desktop. The best option in these cases is to boot up in Safe Mode. The computer will automatically start with the bare minimum software and drivers needed to run. It will then run a diagnostic check and repair any software issues causing the problem.

Apple users can sometimes face the "White Screen of Death" or the spinning beach ball when processes or apps freeze. When the computer is frozen in this white screen, it will be unusable until it is restarted. The fix for this is simple: upon restarting, open the OS X utilities menu using the option and R keys. From there, you can use disk utility ("repair disk"), and the problem is solved. For the spinning beach ball, you can use your activity monitor to force programs using too much memory to quit.

A wide range of consumer electronic devices are migrating to USB-C interfaces to support rapidly advancing communication and battery-charging capabilities, as well as smaller design size. In current designs, the host microprocessor is needed to detect the current level and configure the charger's input current limit. While PCs, laptops and cell phones have driven early adoption, USB-C adoption rates are expected to grow at 8.5 percent a year through 2020 thanks to usage in other classes of portable devices, according to IDTechEx.

To reduce design size as well as simplify the system hardware and software design, the MAX77860 integrates USB-C configuration channel (CC) port detection and a battery charger for 15W applications. These integrated functions allow battery charging at the fastest rate possible under the USB-C specification and contribute to 30 percent smaller design size while also simplifying software development. The CC pin detection feature also shortens the design effort by eliminating the need to support end-to-end USB port connection and allowing charging to start automatically.

Key Advantages
Highly Integrated: Eliminates a separate port controller and many discrete components. Reduces the size of an inductor and a capacitor due to a high switching frequency of 2MHz/4MHz, resulting in a solution size that is 30 percent smaller than the closest competitive device. This high level of integration also reduces overall BOM costs.
High Efficiency: High-efficiency buck reduces heat dissipation with more than 93 percent efficiency and up to 3A charging capability.
Design Flexibility: Backward compatibility allows designs to work with both USB-C and legacy BC1.2 or proprietary adapters. Integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) frees up resources in the microcontroller, while providing accurate voltage and current measurements.

Commentary

"The new MAX77860 from Maxim provides real advantages to design engineers working in the growing internet of things market," said Kimberly Majkowski, global product manager, Power Management ICs at Premier Farnell. "It reduces cost and design time while delivering super-fast battery-charging capabilities demanded by today's consumers."
"The MAX77860 dramatically reduces system complexity by integrating the charger, the power path, the low-dropout regulator, the ADC and the USB-C CC detection in a small 3.9mm x 4.0mm package," said Perry Tsao, executive director, Mobile Solutions Business Unit at Maxim Integrated. "This level of integration simplifies the design, enabling the delivery of more power and more functionality in minimal printed circuit board space."

Availability and Pricing
The MAX77860 is available at Maxim's website for $3.03 (1000-up, FOB USA); also available with select authorized distributors
The MAX77860EVKIT# evaluation kit is available for $70

Four astronauts are preparing for their first spacewalks outside the International Space Station, scheduled for March 22, March 29 and April 8. Experts will preview the work of the first two spacewalks during a news conference Tuesday, March 19, at 2 p.m. EDT, at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Live coverage of the briefing and spacewalks will air on NASA Television and the agency's website.

Media wishing to attend the briefing in person must request credentials from the Johnson newsroom at 281-483-5111 no later than 4 p.m. Monday, March 18. Media interested in participating by phone must contact the newsroom by 1:45 p.m.March 19.

Participants in the briefing will be:
Kenneth Todd, International Space Station manager for Operations and Integration
Mary Lawrence, spacewalk flight director
Jacklyn Kagey, lead spacewalk officer

A second briefing to cover the third spacewalk will be conducted closer to the date of that spacewalk.

Live coverage of all three spacewalks will begin at 6:30 a.m. on the respective day of the spacewalk. Designated as U.S. spacewalks 52, 53 and 54, each is expected to last about 6.5 hours. The first spacewalk is scheduled to start at 8:05 a.m., while the second is set to start at 8:20 a.m. A targeted start time for the third spacewalk will be set closer to the activity date.

Expedition 59 Flight Engineers Nick Hague and Anne McClain of NASA are set to venture outside the station's Quest airlock for the March 22 spacewalk to replace nickel-hydrogen batteries with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for the power channel on one pair of the station's solar arrays. The batteries were transported to the station in September aboard the Japanese H-II Transfer Vehicle. The spacewalking work continues the overall upgrade of the station's power system that began with similar battery replacement during spacewalks in January 2017.

McClain and flight engineer Christina Koch are scheduled to venture outside on the March 29 spacewalk to work on a second set of battery replacements on a different power channel in the same area of the station. This would be the first-ever spacewalk with all-female spacewalkers.

Hague and David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency are scheduled to conduct the April 8 spacewalk to lay out jumper cables between the Unity module and the S0 truss, at the midpoint of the station's backbone. This work will establish a redundant path of power to the Canadian-built robotic arm, known as Canadarm2. They also will install cables to provide for more expansive wireless communications coverage outside the orbital complex, as well as for enhanced hardwired computer network capability.

Spacewalk assignments may be adjusted if the flight operations team deems it necessary. These will be the 214th, 215th and 216th spacewalks in the history of International Space Station assembly and maintenance.
