Q: Where and how to initialise application state returned from $http? I am using session storage to store my application state.
I have an initial state which looks something like this:
appState = {
titles :['Mr', 'Ms', 'Mrs', 'Miss', 'Dr'],
addresses : [],
labels : []
}

This  'appState' is saved using $sessionStorage.appstate.
When the application loads, the 'labels' array of my appState needs to get populated.
I do this by a $get request in the run block angular.module('app').run(...populate appState); which then returns my labels and these labels are then saved to the sessionStorage for use by the application.
In my controllers when I try to access the appState.labels from the $sessionStorage when the app first loads, the labels are still not populated and the content that I bind the labels to are not shown. If I refresh the page, they are then loaded from the sessionStorage and all is working.
Now the reason (I believe) is that the binding is occurring BEFORE my $get has resolved so my appState.labels is still empty. How do I have my application 'Load and wait' until the $get labels has completed before it actually binds my data?
I have read that I should place initialisation code in the run block.

A: Assuming your case where you want to fetch the data first before the site loads, the best way would be to use manual bootstrapping where you get the data first and then loads the application. For that you need to do few things:

*

*remove ng-app="myApp" from your index.html file because we want to initialise this app based on our $http response promise.

app.js
(function() {
    var initInjector = angular.injector(['ng']);
    var $http = initInjector.get('$http');
    $http.get('/get_label_details/',{headers: {'Cache-Control' : 'no-cache'}}).then(
        function (response) {
            angular.module('myApp.labels', []).constant('LABELS', response.data);
            // manually bootstrapping
            angular.element(document).ready(function() {
                angular.bootstrap(document, ['myApp']);
            });
        }
    );
})();

*use the myApp.labels module when you bootstrap myApp module which would be basically attached to your document object of index.html.

something like below:
var mainApp = angular.module('myApp',['myApp.labels']);

mainApp.run(function(LABELS){
    console.log(LABELS); // you have it here at the run phase
})

so your final app.js will look like
(function() {
    var initInjector = angular.injector(['ng']);
    var $http = initInjector.get('$http');
    $http.get('/get_label_details/',{headers: {'Cache-Control' : 'no-cache'}}).then(
        function (response) {
            angular.module('myApp.labels', []).constant('LABELS', response.data);

            angular.element(document).ready(function() {
                angular.bootstrap(document, ['myApp']);
            });
        }
    );
})();

var mainApp = angular.module('myApp',['myApp.labels']);

mainApp.run(function(LABELS){
    console.log(LABELS); // you have it here at the run phase
})

A: I ended up using the route resolve which waits for the promise to be resolved before instantiating the controller. Thanks for the input!

const RouteConfig = ($stateProvider) => {
  'ngInject';
  // HOME
  $stateProvider
    .state('app.root', {
      url: '/',
      abstract: true,
      controller: 'HomeCtrl',
      controllerAs: '$ctrl',
      templateUrl: 'home/index.html',
      resolve:{
        store: StoreService => {
          console.log('Resolving store...');
          // Waits to resolve promise before instantiating controller.
          return StoreService.asyncCreateStore();
         }
      }
    })
}

If you've ever had a pet, you know that it requires a lot more than just love to be a good pet owner. Between food, vaccinations, routine check-ups, spay or neuter, and other essentials like leashes, cat litter, toys, and cages, sharing your home with a pet is a huge financial commitment.
According to the ASPCA, the annual costs of owning a dog range from $1,314 to $1,843, and that doesn't include emergency visits, boarding costs, and pet-sitting services. Military pet owners face even more financial challenges thanks to PCS moves, deployments, and frequent travel.
Fortunately, you can find military discounts for all sorts of pet-related services. Always remember that it never hurts to ask for a military discount everywhere you go, whether it's a local pet supply store, boarding facilities, or your favorite veterinarian.
1. Veterinary Services On Base -- Many military installations offer veterinary services, often at prices that are much lower than civilian vets off base. However, military vet clinics on base are hit or miss as far as services and products provided, as well as appointment availability.
For example, some vet clinics on base are full-service facilities that provide routine exams, visits for minor problems like ear infections, surgeries like spay/neuter, and occasional emergency cases, as well as products like particular brands of flea/tick prevention and heartworm medication.
But not all bases provide these services, and even if they do, wait times can get long because of limited manpower and because military working dogs have priority over family pets. Other base clinics don't see family pets for appointments, but you can purchase flea/tick and heartworm meds there. They also don't usually perform major surgeries so even if you love your base vet, you should always have a civilian vet lined up as well.
Your best bet is to contact your local installation to ask about services and pricing.
2. PCS'ing Pets -- When my family PCS'ed to Japan, we briefly considered leaving our dog behind with family until we returned. But pets are part of the family, and we knew we couldn't live without him. Unfortunately, the cost of getting that furry family member overseas wasn't cheap.
SPCA International wants to keep pets with their families in situations like this. Through their program Operation Military Pets, they offer financial assistance to help offset the expenses associated with relocating pets so military families don't have to leave their pets behind. Click here to learn more and apply for assistance.
Have orders abroad? Pet Air Carrier ships pets around the world, and they offer a $125 military discount for one pet and a $25 discount for each additional pet for military families traveling on orders abroad. That discount increases to $150 for the first pet and $50 for each additional pet if all travel health documents are already completed.
3. Pet Insurance -- Purchasing health insurance for your pets can help manage the cost of vet bills associated with accidents and injuries, illnesses, surgeries, x-rays, and routine visits. The ASPCA estimates that health insurance can set you back around $225 for a dog and $175 for a cat annually, depending on the type of coverage you sign up for.
Some pet insurance companies offer military discounts, but they don't always advertise it. So when you're shopping around and getting quotes for your pet, make sure one of the questions on your list is whether or not they offer a military discount.
4. Pet Sitters -- Does your pet need some extra tender loving care? Does your dog need to be walked while you're at work? No problem.
Sittercity.com can help you find pet sitters and dog walkers. Thanks to the Department of Defense, military families can sign up for free Sittercity memberships.
5. Pet Adoption and Fostering -- Have you always wanted to adopt a pet? Are you a servicemember looking for a foster family to give your pet a home while you're deployed?
Pets for Patriots connects veterans and servicemembers with adult shelter pets who need a home. They also help with the costs of pet ownership by partnering with veterinarians to deliver a 10% discount on the pet's care.
Dogs on Deployment provides an online database for servicemembers seeking a home for their pets during a deployment. Veterans and spouses who meet certain criteria can also take advantage of Dogs on Deployment. Not deploying but want to help someone who is? Visit their website to learn more about becoming a boarder.
Guardian Angels for Soldier's Pet also helps to match up deploying servicemembers with volunteers who want to provide good homes for their pets while they're gone. Wounded warriors, veterans, families of deployed servicemembers, PCS'ing families, and those impacted by the loss of a loved one (KIA or suicide related) can all qualify under certain conditions as well.
How do you save on pet-related costs?

a friend of mine who drives a 2005 turbo berlingo, im not sure if its 2ltr or 1.9ltr but my launch x431 master works with it under the siemens option.
The sensor will almost certainly be the inductive type and there is a smashing test on YouTube which explains exactly what you want to do.

Trump: U.S. 'Will Withdraw' From Iran Nuclear Deal03:27
"The fact is this was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever have been made," President Trump said Tuesday from the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House. (Evan Vucci/AP)
President Trump announced Tuesday that he has decided to exit a 2015 multinational agreement in which Iran agreed to limit its production of nuclear weapons material.
"I am announcing today that the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal," Trump said.
He said the U.S. will reimpose economic sanctions that were lifted as part of the U.S. commitments made in the deal.
The U.S. has been repeatedly waiving sanctions that curtail Iran's oil sales, but those sanctions waivers faced a Saturday deadline, prompting Trump's move Tuesday.
Trump made the announcement during a speech at the White House.
"The fact is this was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever have been made," he said.
"It didn't bring calm, it didn't bring peace, and it never will," he also said.
Speaking in a nationally televised address, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called Trump a "bothersome creature." Rouhani also said Iran would attempt to hold talks with the other world powers in the deal to see whether the agreement can be continued. But if it can't, he said, Iran's atomic energy organization is prepared to restart nuclear activities.
Also speaking in a televised address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Trump's withdrawal from the nuclear agreement is historic. Netanyahu thanked Trump for his "courageous leadership" and "commitment to confront the terrorist regime in Tehran."
In a statement, Saudi Arabia said it "supports and welcomes the steps announced" by Trump. "The Kingdom also supports reinstating economic sanctions on the Iranian regime."
Trump's repudiation of the agreement was called "misguided" by former President Barack Obama, whose administration negotiated it. In a joint statement, the leaders of Great Britain, France and Germany, which all signed the agreement, expressed "regret and concern."
Speaking slowly and deliberately, Trump did not mention his predecessor by name but clearly had the Obama administration in mind.
Trump called the agreement, which was drafted along with U.S. allies, "poorly negotiated."
The president also said that at a time when the U.S. "had maximum leverage, this disastrous deal gave Iran many billions of dollars, some of it in actual cash," which Trump called "a great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens."
"It is clear to me that we cannot prevent an Iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement," Trump said, calling it "defective at its core."
Trump justified his decision by citing what he sees as flaws in the deal. He called the sunset provisions of the agreement, which allow Iran to resume its nuclear enrichment program when the agreement phases out by 2030, "totally unacceptable." If allowed to stand, he said, the agreement would spark a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. "Everyone would want their weapons ready by the time Iran had theirs," the president warned.
Trump also criticized the agreement's inspection provisions, which he called inadequate, and its failure to prevent Iran from building ballistic missiles capable of delivering a nuclear warhead.
In a statement, Obama, who rarely addresses actions of his successor, said the agreement is working and "has significantly rolled back Iran's nuclear program."
Walking away from it "turns our back on America's closest allies," the former president said.
Obama added, "In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one Administration to the next. But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America's credibility, and puts us at odds with the world's major powers. Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven to be divisive."
Trump said he consulted extensively with U.S. allies in Europe and in the Middle East. "We are unified in our understanding of the threat," Trump said, "and in our conviction that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon."
The path ahead is unclear. In their statement, British Prime Minister Theresa May, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged the U.S. to "do everything possible to preserve the gains for nuclear non-proliferation brought about" by the agreement "by allowing for a continued enforcement of its main elements."
The leaders also encouraged Iran "to show restraint in response to the decision by the US; Iran must continue to meet its own obligations under the deal, cooperating fully and in a timely manner with IAEA inspection requirements."
The three European leaders also said they remained committed to the agreement. "We urge all sides to remain committed to its full implementation and to act in a spirit of responsibility," the trio said.
After his remarks, Trump signed a presidential memorandum that he said reinstates "the highest level" of economic sanctions on Iran and said any nation that helps Iran in its quest for nuclear weapons could also face sanctions.
Trump also declared Tuesday that "America will not be held hostage by nuclear blackmail."
The president added that his action "sends a critical message" that the U.S. "no longer makes empty threats." Instead, Trump explained, "when I make promises, I keep them."
Trump also announced that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was on his way to North Korea for talks in preparation for a planned summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. "Plans are being made, relationships are building, hopefully a deal will happen," Trump said.

The top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee criticized Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran pact.
"With this decision President Trump is risking U.S. national security, recklessly upending foundational partnerships with key U.S. allies in Europe and gambling with Israel's security," Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., said in a statement. "Today's withdrawal from the [deal] makes it more likely Iran will restart its nuclear weapons program in the future."
"The governments of Iran, Russia, and China will seize this opportunity of self-imposed U.S. isolation to continue major weapons sales, deepen economic ties, and further challenge the United States and Europe not only in the Middle East but in other areas like North Korea," Menendez also said.
Republicans praised Trump's action. House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said that "the Obama-era agreement" was "deeply flawed" and that Trump's announcement was "as strong statement that we can and must do better."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., responded on Twitter with a substantial thread of criticism of the president's decision.
Trump faced a May 12 deadline to decide whether to continue to waive certain sanctions that would prevent countries or companies from buying oil from Iran. Imposing the sanctions would effectively breach the deal.
The president has repeatedly bashed the Iran nuclear agreement, calling it one of the worst deals he has ever witnessed. During his presidential campaign, Trump had promised to "dismantle the disastrous deal with Iran."
The 2015 agreement with Iran was negotiated by the Obama administration and signed by the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, China and Russia.
As a part of the deal, Iran agreed to limits on its nuclear weapons program and ongoing inspections in return for relief from economic sanctions.
Critics of the deal argue that it gave away too much without addressing other critical issues, including Iran's development of ballistic missiles and its support of destabilizing actions in the Middle East.
There are also concerns that certain provisions of the deal are not permanent, potentially allowing Iran to restart its nuclear program.
After entering office, Trump continued to have harsh words for the deal, but he had stopped short of actually pulling the United States out of the agreement.
There were disputes in the White House and the Cabinet about how to handle the Iran deal. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster both backed staying in the agreement, a view that put the officials at odds with Trump.
The recently confirmed Pompeo and new national security adviser John Bolton are much more hawkish on Iran.
European allies had urged the president to stick with deal, despite his misgivings. Macron, who was treated to an official state visit at the White House last month, said the agreement could be kept in place while the countries work to craft a new and more comprehensive pact.
Even some opponents of the deal in Congress said it would be best to remain in the agreement until something better was put in place.
"I believe the best path forward at this point is to continue pushing to fix these flaws as we enforce the hell out of the deal," said Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., the head of the House Foreign Affairs committee, in a statement before Trump's announcement.

We had a wonderful week in our classroom. We completed our first STEAM challenge, the nameplate design and participated in a cardboard challenge in the library.
Next week in our reading program, Wonders, we will explore the question-What happens when families work together? While reading, we will review the spelling pattern of long i. We will wrap up our questioning work this week, and will look again at characters, setting, and important details.
Next week in math we will begin our second unit in Math. I will spend some time conferencing with students about their first unit assessment. I will congratulate them on what they did well (there is so much to celebrate) and will work to make a plan with them around the parts that are still tricky. Please give your child plenty of positive feedback when you receive their Math assessment at home, they worked so hard! This is a great time to practice growth mindset language, reminding them that our mistakes help us learn.
In this second unit, students will learn addition strategies that will help them solve math problems quickly. I can't emphasize enough how important these strategies are for mental math and flexible math thinking. While we are working with smaller numbers, the upcoming strategies can be used with any number. The first two strategies we are working on are doubles, and doubles plus one. This is the idea that doubling a number quickly can lead to fluent mental math... we are laying the foundation for this skill. For instance- if you were to add 47 and 45 mentally- would you double 40 and then add the 7 and 5? Share your strategies with your child at home, as it can only make them a more flexible thinker!
Our writing pieces have come together and the stories have beautiful illustrations and covers. We will have an author's celebration next week where the students can read aloud their stories in small groups. As we write our next personal narrative, we will focus on adding details and making our characters think, feel, and act.

That means when there is any competition that comes up in hopes to battle against Valve's Steam storefront, they are fighting an uphill battle. That is until Epic Games delivered their updated storefront known simply as the Epic Games Store.
There are a few reasons that this storefront could really stand against Steam. For starters, it's gathering plenty of users simply by providing free video game titles every month. Gamers are getting access to titles such as Subnautica, Super Meat Boy, Axiom Verge, and Thimbleweed Park. Furthermore, it's starting to secure a number of PC exclusives thanks to the larger profit margins developers along with publishers gain through Epic Games Store resulting in Steam losing out on select titles. While there are still some areas that could be tweaked for Epic Games Store, it's worth downloading the storefront at the very least to enjoy some of those free monthly video game titles.
Outside of Steam which we made mention in our intro paragraph, there are other digital distribution storefronts such as Origin. This service us owned by Electronic Arts and its become a must own if you wish to purchase and enjoy select video game titles such as the more recent release, A Way Out. Chances are most of these games won't find its way outside of Origin if you're looking to enjoy the game on the PC platform and as a result, you'll want to make sure this Origin program is downloaded to your gaming desktop. Again this is just another storefront outside of Steam and you'll find several other programs out there that offer a similar experience.
Emulators and ROMs can be a touchy subject. Collectors will oftentimes prefer to play the original hard release of a video game title and of course, there is sometimes the legality side of things. However, if you're looking to play those classic old video game consoles and titles then chances are you downloaded a few ROMs and emulators but the whole process of managing the games and seamlessly playing a title is a bit cumbersome.
Instead of scrolling through a long list of video game titles on your hard drive, we suggest checking out Launchbox. This is by far the best frontend for an emulator we've come across. This program neatly organizes your ROMs and emulators while allowing gamers to also use their controller to browse for a game to play with ease.
Games are oftentimes broken up in a plethora of categories making it even easier to locate a game. The program is free to download though if you wish to toss in a bit of money then we highly recommend going for the paid version which certainly opens up more tools and features that are well worth owning.
When it comes to displays, players often seek out the vibrant panels with a slew of features. From colors that pop to a brightness that can assure you're not missing out on anything of importance during those dark dungeon raids. However, when you begin to start playing a video game towards the evening hours, the bright and beautiful display can start to turn into an eyesore.
Late at night staring into a bright display can be a bit of a pain. Additionally, I've been known to hop onto the computer late at night and forget the display is cranked up to deal with the daylight into the room so I'm left with a bright annoying cast of light being sent directly into my eyeballs. Yeah, that's no fun to deal with and luckily there's a program to help aid you.
Introducing F.lux. This is a program that can adjust your display depending on the time of day it is. If you're jumping onto the PC early in the morning with a bright natural light filling the room then your display will have been adjusted thanks to the time schedule settings.
With this program you can have a display that looks great no matter what time of day it is and best of all, there's no more fiddling with the settings yourself in order to bring down the brightness.
When Microsoft introduced Windows 8, they introduced a brand new design for the operating system. The design wasn't the most welcomed change up from Microsoft, but for those who enjoyed the tile view and setup then we have a program you won't want to pass up on.
Pin Steam is a program that makes use of the tile Start Menu though it integrates Steam. With Steam being the most popular gaming marketplace and software for PC gamers, chances are you have a number of video game titles sitting in your library.
With Pin Steam, gamers can decide to pin whatever game they wish on the Start Menu. Visually, it looks seamless to the Windows 8 operating system design. Additionally, with this software, gamers can also pin their close friends so you can be updated in real time on what video game they are playing.
When it comes to computers, it's not uncommon for users to have an extra storage solution to use as a backup means for their operating system, pictures, videos, and any other files that wish to save. This is also true for gamers as nobody wants to deal with a corrupt hard drive or file.
If you're a gamer that's working on a long RPG or if you simply like to keep your game saves in a safe place, then we recommend downloading GameSave Manager. This is a program that easily navigates all the video game saves on your computer so you can back them up on a different drive.
Now if you're unlucky enough to have a drive go bad or a corrupt save, you don't have to lose all your progress. This software also serves as a means to restore a game save so you're in good hands. Now you can game on without fear of losing progress for good or even take a save with you in case the opportunity to enjoy your favorite video game arrives.
Much like most of the programs on this list, gamers can download GameSave Manager completely for free. However, if you enjoy the program and wish to support the developers then you can place a donation through PayPal.
WinDerStat is another program that deals with storage. However, unlike GameSave Manager which was our previously covered point, this program aids with the help of deciding just what to get rid of on your computer. Video games are only getting more advanced and after a new release hits the market, you'll likely have to check just how much storage space is required to play the game.
Games are continuously getting bigger so if you're not interested in picking up a bigger drive to store the video game titles or if the funds won't allow it then you'll be left on deciding just what to purge. WinDirStat is a great way to see the content stored on your drives. Not only does this program will showcase the usual graphical statistics of storage availability, but it will also give a more visually appealing way to see how much a program is taking up space.
With an additional panel window open, the program will unveil a series of different colored and sized rectangles. The bigger the size the larger the file is on your hard drive. This is a user-friendly way of showing just how much cushion room a program or file takes up and that can likely greatly help when it comes to clearing out space for a new game install.
When it comes to PC gaming, users who opt to create and build their own PC will tend to tinker with it a bit more. As new games release, there can be that urge in seeing if you can get a few more frames from tweaking the settings.
If you're looking past the in-game settings then you can really open up with a slew of options and tools. One of those tools that are highly regarded is MSI Afterburner. This is a program that specializes in various graphics cards. With the GPU being one of the key elements in a gaming PC it's easily one of the first components to look at when increasing the overall frames-per-second along with stability.
With MSI Afterburner, gamers will have control over the graphics card. You'll be able to overclock it and push the card to the limits while also seeing a vast monitor system in order to see just how far the GPU can go in a safe matter. There are even options to run a monitor system on your smartphone with the ability to make adjustments without having to exit out of a game.
For those looking to tinker a bit more with a custom gaming PC then this is a program worth researching.
Everyone has come across this problem in their life. When you're on the PC and suddenly a program freezes and refuses to exit than its an instant annoyance. Furthermore, there are programs out there in which doesn't abide by the standard Alt+F4 shortcut.
With this download, the program on the foreground of your computer should exit out on command. However, as we said, this doesn't always work so we suggest SuperF4. With this program, gamers can kill any program that's in the foreground with Ctrl+Alt-F4. It's a small little program but one that is well worth downloading especially if you have a program or software that refuses to quit.
Most often developers are pretty cool with giving gamers the ability to remap controls. However, there are certain cases in which the development studio decided that the player must abide by the control scheme they have created for the title. If you ever come across a game that wouldn't allow you to change the key inputs then KeyTweak is a workaround.
KeyTweak does exactly what the name suggests. Gamers will be able to tweak the keys in order to get the appropriate control scheme that works for them. It's a rather easy program to work with as well, The software will showcase a full keyboard and from there you can remap keys that may work well within the game.
This is a simple interface workaround than dealing with the registry or any additional files for the program. Best of all, when you're done with the game, the software can remove all the re-mapped keys with a single button. Of course, there are some limitations into the game such as combining a series of keystrokes into a single key or the use of the Fn key on most laptops.
You may very well be surprised by just how useful this software can be even if you're only needing to make one small adjustment to your control layout.
From narrative focused journeys to time killing titles, you're most likely playing a video game in a full-screen mode. So for those few video game titles that don't offer a means to play in a full-screen mode we suggest looking into the program known as Borderless Gaming.
This is another easy and simple program that really becomes useful. Within the program, players can stream any game in a borderless full-screen mode. This tosses out a lot of uncertainties as well for video game titles. There are titles out there that can't seem to handle the Alt+Tab feature in order to handle another program or web browse for a guide.
With Borderless Gaming, players can tab out of a video game and tweak your playlist, look up a guide or even open up another program without the fear of crashing your video game title. The program is also open source which means anyone can help contribute.
Ever come across a great view of a game or want to capture a funny moment, there are a few means of going about it, but we're suggesting Sharex. This is a program that not only acts as a simple way to capture an image but it also comes packed with all sorts of tools and features.
Just to name off a couple this program can provide, Sharex may allow a watermark to be placed on your image automatically and also there's an option in which the program can automatically upload the image to image hosting sources online.
When you really start to tweak the settings and preferences, capturing images is not only easy with Sharex, but the program can help finesse the screenshot to be visually appealing and marked appropriately.
Your days of using the old print screen button are behind you along with having to toss it into an image editor in order to work out the fine details prior to releasing it on the web. Trust us, using this program will help save you plenty of time.
If you are fond of video recording your gameplay for later uploading online along with using streaming services such as Twitch then you've likely come across a wide range of software to choose from. One of the best software's that we can recommend for you is OBS Studio.
This does both video recording along with being a useful program for streaming gameplay. OBS Studio is open source allowing anyone to help aid in updating the software. Some of the features included in the program is an audio mixer with a slew of filter options, multiple scenes to help record various screens or cameras and a useful docking system making the user interface more seamless to the tools or features most needed.
As mentioned, the software does allow streaming and its supported on the major three platforms that being Twitch, Mixer and lastly YouTube.
The Nexus Mod Manager is a software worth downloading if you opt to download and use mods for certain video game titles. Essentially, this manager is available to make installing mods to select video games extremely easy though you'll want to look into the mods and games supported just in case certain developers are not supporting this feature. This can also affect your account as well so again we really stress looking into the games and mods before progressing in case of being hit with a banned account.
However, with this manager, you can download mods made available online from other creators. Currently, the most popular game mod downloads have been for titles such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and XCOM.
Of course, this manager will only work for a certain number of video games but it seems that some of the more popular open-world titles are included in the mix. We'll likely see more titles become supported in the future so you can always bookmark the website to see just what new titles become available.
Likewise, outside of just installing the mods, this manager will help organize the mods you're using along with options to uninstalling them.
If you own a Nvidia graphics card then you'll want to get GeForce Experience. This is a useful program that does a wide assortment of things. For instance, the software will help make sure that your computer is running the latest drivers for the GPU.
Outside of just making sure your GPU is running up-to-date, the software will also allow gamers to record and share gameplay videos with the software's record system which can also be used for streaming.
Another interesting aspect that comes with the software is the optimize game settings which can automatically adjust your games so its running at the best settings for your PC configuration. Now while this program is intended for Nvidia graphics cards, AMD users can get something similar with the Radeon software from AMD.
If you don't recall the various components in your build or if you didn't build the system yourself, then you may want to download the utility software known as Speccy. Now there are all sorts of different software that can be used in Speccy's place but this software is easy to read and navigate through.
Within the program, gamers can see just what components are installed such as RAM, graphics card and the processor. Likewise, there is a decent breakdown of the useful information between all the components such as the temperature, drive speed, and various model numbers.
It's always a good idea to gauge your temperature for the components as well. If you're running too hot then you could get some stability issues and potentially hurt the components longevity. With this software running you can get a better idea of if you need to upgrade something like the CPU cooler or if your case is even pulling in enough airflow.
When you purchase a PC it's gonna come with useless programs and startup items that could clutter or slow down your PC. Every PC comes with this if you go through a manufacturer as they'll likely load up programs that may seem helpful but in actual cases, the software is considered junk.
This is where the program PC Decrapifier comes into play. We find that this is a great tool for a brand new PC as it will help get rid of all the software that is not likely wanted. However, the program can also help users out in the long run so it doesn't necessarily become useful for just new PC purchases.
When you find that your PC is starting to slow down over time, it could mean that you happened to come across too many useless programs that are taking up your precious resources. If this happens to be the case then just pop in this program via a USB drive and let it do all the hard work.
Just as a new PC purchase, PC Decrapifier will hunt down all the programs that are not being used often or are considered junk and recommend uninstalling them. Afterward, your computer will likely be running smoothly once again.
Ultramon is another simple but useful tool for gamers. If you own multiple monitors which are likely the case as dual monitor setups have become the norm then you may run into some issues. That might not be the case for everyone but to avoid any inconsistencies or issues in the future you should download UltraMon.
With the software, users can set up a few different monitor configurations as it supports wallpapers, screensavers and helps improve productivity. Even if you already have a configuration setup to your liking, running this software could help unlock even more potential and stability.
For those of you who really start to tinker with their gaming PC then you may have opted to do some overclocking. This is a great way to help improve the speed and gameplay experience with the latest titles that may potentially be a bit too resource heavy for your setup.
While you'll want to be careful with your builds and overclocking, you'll also want to check the stability of your system. This is where programs such as Prime95 comes into play. With this program, users can check to see the stability of their CPU and RAM. During tests, you should be able to tell if your overclock was a success or if there are any underlying issues that may need to be addressed before you start gaming.
Connecting with friends online is easy and there are all sorts of applications and means of going about it. Though it's clear that the main source gamers are using today is Discord. This is a VOIP software in which gamers can chat via text or voice to friends.
Most everyone uses Discord and it's incredibly easy to set up a private channel in which your group of friends or team can communicate during gameplay. Likewise, there are several popular online media personalities and channels that use the application for gamers to join in and talk among themselves.
Due to its simplicity and popularity, you'll likely want to give Skype the uninstall and look at using Discord as your main source of communication when online. Furthermore, if you don't wish to install the program on your computer, there is a web client available so you can still communicate with your friends online.
JoyToKey in a way is similar to Keytweak that we covered earlier in this article. However, unlike Keytweak, instead of remapping your keyboard keys to a different button, you can remap any gamepad you like on the PC. After all, some gamepad controllers simply don't seem to work out very well with certain video games.
While most games work flawlessly with the Microsoft Xbox controllers, you do run into issues where a game simply doesn't support anything outside a keyboard and mouse or perhaps the title is too old to have really support gamepads.
If you jumped onto the ultrawide monitor craze then you likely run into an issue with a video game display once or twice. There are still some video games that release into the market that don't offer an ultrawide monitor support and that often means playing a video game with black bars on the sides. This also goes without saying that older games will run into the very same problem.
For those who are looking for a quick fix then we suggest Flawless Widescreen. This is a program that helps out in FOV making select games work with your widescreen display. Now not every game will be supported, in fact, the download page will bring you to a list of what video games work with this software, but you should find that most of the popular triple AAA video game titles will be included.
Hopefully going forward, developers will keep in mind the group of gamers out there that are more fond of the ultrawide display setup than the traditional gaming monitor. But until then, Flawless Widescreen will do the trick.

Learn why a traditional periodontitis treatment may waste your money, does seldom cure gum disease, and endangers your overall health.
Click here to discover how to end periodontitis naturally.
Receding Gums. You may not realize you have a gum recession problem until your dentist examines your mouth. When gums recede, the roots of your teeth become exposed, making your teeth more sensitive to hot, cold, sweet and salty substances.
Dry Mouth (Xerostomia). Dry mouth is a decreased flow of saliva that can be caused by alcohol-based mouthwashes people use to kill bacteria and freshen breath. But there's a boomerang effect: they can also cause dry mouth, a condition that actually accelerates bacterial growth—worsening the original problem.
Bad Breath. Bacteria and bacterial infections caused by poor dental hygiene can lead to persistent bad breath. Chronic bad breath is not only embarrassing, it is a top symptom and is linked to devastating health problems.
Swollen Gums. Swollen gums are a common symptom of gingivitis and are caused by inflammation of the gums.The swelling means that white blood cells and fluids are reacting to irritation and inflammation caused by bacteria and plaque along the gum line. This is an early-warning symptom of gingivitis. A common question that many ask themselves is, "Is gingivitis reversible?"
Bleeding Gums. It is a more serious symptom than swollen gums and is a precursor of periodontitis. Most do not realized that it can actually cause more serious problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes or a stroke. Bleeding gums means your circulatory system is open to the attack of every form of bacteria present in your mouth.
Loose Teeth. Loose teeth are not caused by aging, but can be traced to plaque-causing sugar and bacteria in the mouth. Plaque pushes teeth apart over time, resulting in a hardened form of plaque called tartar.This causes irritation and even separation of the gums from the teeth. Left untreated, bacteria will erode the bone, causing teeth to loosen and fall out.
Toothaches. Toothache pain can radiate until it affects the head and neck. Toothaches can come from a cavity, a cracked tooth or even an exposed root. Bacteria bonding with sugar or food particles can create acidic waste that erodes enamel, leading to infection and nerve damage, making periodontal treatment inevitable. You must stop the damage or it will only get worse.
Deep Gum Pockets between your gums and teeth. Periodontal pockets give food particles and bacteria a comfortable place to live and breed even more bacteria. This allows regular plaque to form into hardened tartar under the gum line. A regular dental cleaning won't necessarily take care of this serious problem. It may require periodontal disease treatment.
Are you experiencing any of those eight symptoms? If so, then you have gum disease!
Can it really cause heart attacks and strokes? It may seem far fetched, but the answer is—YES! Decades of landmark, research studies have proven undeniable links between gum disease and cardiovascular disease and strokes.
Bacteria is the danger. it may enter your bloodstream from your teeth and gum line, arriving at your heart or other organs. If you are not killing and controlling bacteria daily then, then it may kill you, leave you without teeth, or severely compromise your health. Please read that again!
Traditional periodontal disease treatments begin with a periodontal examination by your dentist. Depending on your stage of periodontal disease, you could be facing painful surgery that could cost thousands of dollars. Take a look at these common periodontal treatments and the average costs of periodontal disease surgery.
Diagnosis & X-Rays (Average Cost: $400). If you are worried about periodontal disease, your dentist will visually examine your mouth and take x-rays to determine the full extent of your periodontal disease.
Scaling/Root Planing (Periodontal Treatment Cost: $450.00 per quadrant; $1,800.00 per full mouth). These two periodontal disease treatments are non-surgery procedures that are used when a regular cleaning by a dental hygienist is not enough to effectively treat destructive bacteria.
Gingival Flap Surgery (Average Cost: $1,100.00). If scaling and root planning can't remove all gum infection, the next step is gingival flap surgery that reaches infection in the tooth root and bone. This gum treatment surgery is done on moderate and advanced cases of periodontitis.
Soft Tissue Graft (Average Cost: $1,000.00). A soft tissue graft is a treatment for periodontal disease when tooth roots are exposed due to a receding gum line. Receding gum grafts can be used to cover roots or to develop gum tissue where it has been lost due to excessive gum recession.
Bone Graft (Average Cost: $1,000.00). A periodontal surgery bone graft builds up the jaw lines of patients with advanced gum disease (periodontitis) so that they are able to receive dental implants. Dental implants provide solutions for missing teeth in a more natural way then other alternatives.
They only treat symptoms—not the underlying causes.
You can end up spending a small fortune on the latest gum treatment that may seem to solve your problem for a while – everything from periodontal surgery and the latest laser surgery techniques to antibiotics and a new toothpaste or mouthwash.
No teeth and gum treatment gives you a permanent solution if you don't have an effective, oral care plan that incorporates a proven remedy for eliminating the root causes of the disease. Read that sentence one more time. If you don't successfully treat the underlying cause of your periodontal problems, then the symptoms are bound to return with a vengeance.
The main cause of periodontal disease is BACTERIA in your mouth that is fostered by poor dental hygiene. In addition, underlying health issues and daily lifestyle choices can also foster a bacteria-rich environment in your mouth.
Hormonal changes, especially during puberty, pregnancy, menopause and menstruation.
Medications can affect gum health, especially if the medications reduce the amount of fluid in the gums.
Smoking can also lead to periodontal problems. The chemicals in cigarettes damage gum lining, leading to the destruction of the gums themselves. Dry mouth is also a problem.
Poor dental hygiene. This is one of the leading causes of disease of the mouth. If you do not brush, floss and maintain regular dental appointments, you have an increased risk of developing gingivitis and then periodontitis complications.
This is the Good News we promised you at the very beginning of all this. Since poor dental hygiene is the leading cause of disease of the mouth, you have the power personally to treat the real cause (not just the symptom) with a remarkably effective oral health plan.
Why Would You Knowingly Put Poison in your Child's Mouth?
You carefully place dangerous, household cleaners and chemicals out of the reach of your children. After you read about the harmful toxins and dyes in commercial toothpastes, you'll not only want to hide your toothpaste from your kids, you'll want to throw it in the trash.
How many are you putting in your mouth every day?
These common ingredients have been found to be harmful to humans according to the landmark, consumer-safety book, The Safe Shoppers Bible: A Consumer's Guide to Non-toxic Household Products, Cosmetics, and Food.
Triclosan. In 1969 the Environmental Protection Agency approved Triclosan as a pesticide—that's right—a pesticide! It is in a class of chemicals that is suspected of causing cancer in humans.
FD&C Blue Dye #1 & 2. A popular, food-coloring additive, this dye has been linked to ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), irritability, restlessness and sleep disturbance in children.
Hydrated Silica. This ingredient whitens teeth; yet, at the same time, it damages tooth enamel. Research studies prove that baking soda is a more effective tooth whitening and less damaging to tooth enamel.
Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate. With twice the toxicity of table salt, tetrasodium phosphate remove calcium and magnesium from saliva, thus preventing them from depositing on teeth. Unfortunately, it's alkaline quality can cause excess irritation of oral membranes and effect the lungs, heart, kidneys and blood, to name just a few.
Fluoride. Banned in countries around the world, fluoride, a toxic byproduct of aluminum, is still in America's water supplies and dental products and promoted as a great cavity fighter. Research studies link it to neurological problems, brain function, and Alzheimer's. Learn more about a Fluoride-free solution, OraMD toothpaste.
Click Here for an all-natural gum disease solution.
Make sure you brush your teeth after meals using a soft-bristle toothbrush. A hard-bristle brush can lead to gum recession. Brush normally. Try an electronic toothbrush with soft bristles that is gentler on your gums.
The best natural periodontal toothpaste should have chemical-free, toxin-free, all-natural ingredients. Harsh toothpaste products are not effective and can further irritate swollen gums. Most commercial toothpaste brands contain Fluoride, a harmful substance that is so toxic its use has been banned in European countries. Instead, brush your teeth with a natural dental product that contains antibacterial essential oil two times every day. Why put poison in your mouth?
Floss at least one time per day. Flossing removes debris between the teeth that harmful bacteria love to feed on in your mouth.
Visit your dentist regularly. Regular dental visits and and professional cleanings by a dental hygienist are an important part of an effective dental care program.
Use a natural mouthwash in the morning and evening, but do not use alcohol and chemical-based mouthwashes. The best mouthwash for gum disease is a simple mixture of natural, antibacterial oils and water. It's a proven bacteria killer! You don't need to buy separate products. It is a three-in-one solution that does away with the need for conventional toothpaste, chemical-laden mouthwash, and sugar-coated breath mints.
So what are you waiting for? Put what you've just learned into practice. Start using an all-natural periodontal disease treatment plan that treats the root cause – bacteria – not just the symptoms. Make no mistake about it; your condition will only worsen if you don't take action now. Reverse periodontal disease with the help of your dentist and a natural gum disease treatment.
