The Colin McRae series has been about far more than traditional rallying for some time now, and DIRT 2 is easily the most diverse game yet. While not as XP rich as the harder events, these missions mean that you’re always playing for a reason even if things aren’t going well for you on the track. During the World Tour you are always working towards Missions, such as driving a certain number of in-game miles (200 miles nets you 2,500 XP), breaking environmental objects (smash 100 to get 2,500 XP) or driving on two wheels (manage a combined total of 100 seconds with two off the floor and you’ll add another 2,500 points to your XP total). XP is what really matters, and there are ways to earn it even if you find yourself languishing in last place and struggling. Money is handed out for competing in events, but there’s certainly more emphasis placed on XP – while you can buy better cars for each event type and need to buy upgrades to compete in harder competitions, the gap between those and what you start with isn’t nearly as large as it is in most other racers. With numerous difficulty levels, flashbacks that let you rewind time if you go head-first into a tree (the same system that Codemasters debuted in GRID) and optional performance damage the game is fully tailorable to your skill level, so beginners through to veteran McRae fans should find a suitable challenge in DIRT 2. From the relative comfort of your tour camper van you can access a world map showing all of the countries that host rally and off-road racing events, so it’s simply a case of picking and choosing what you want to do – perform well in the rookie events in order to move up to Pro level and beyond. Your racing career makes up the core DIRT 2 experience, with the goal being to earn enough experience points through competing in events to level up and unlock new events. Considering this quality shines throughout the entire game we have a clear contender for racing title of the year. This is about as polished as a video game can get and we’re only talking about the menu system. It positively oozes class from the moment the ‘press start’ screen pops up, whether it be the slick in-game menu system, the neat loading screen info or the simple fact that you can make the voice over man use your real name. If review scores were handed out for slickness alone Codemasters’ Colin McRae: DIRT 2 would be an easy 10.

Tweetbot 65/9/2023 Here is our review of the Mac app as well.ĭo you plan on subscribing to Tweetbot 6 or have been a user of the app before this update? Let us know on Twitter at image courtesy of AAPL Ch. There is also the Mac version of the app that costs $9.99 as a one-time cost. It is a free app with its premium features that currently cost $5.99 a year. Tweetbot 6 is available on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. In the long run, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised too. I’d recommend everyone try out Tweetbot 6 and its premium features through the week-long free trial the app is having at this time in celebration of its newest version. The updated design of the app is another aspect of it I am looking forward to seeing and using too. Previously, the only way I was able to see them was if the media entity uploaded an image with its article in the tweet.Īlthough I have not seen it in every article posted in the app, I have seen it for the majority of them, which makes me a happy user. In terms of features from the app I am excited about and have seen in it with my brief usage of it, it is the fact that I’ll be able to view polls in the app, as well as seen photos from links news organizations post. Searched again right before I wrote this, found hints (the grayed text completion that suggests as you type) for Tweetbot 5, which took me to a competing Twitter client’s page. No Tweetbot, no Tweetbot 5, no Tweetbot 6. With developers though, they’re trying to make a living too, so you have to understand where they are coming from too. Saw this, went to the App Store, typed in Tweetbot, found nothing but a long list of competing products. I understand that may not be the case for everyone. Well, that’s only going to happen if the developers have the money to make it a better app, so if that means they have to charge me a fee every year for using this app, then so be it. That’s crucial in today’s uncertain financial times because of the coronavirus pandemic.Īnother part of my thinking is I only want this app to get better. My reasoning for this is simple it supports the developers and overall development of the app. However, I’m glad that Tapbots is going this route with this app. While some may have personal gripes about this because it seems as though everything we own is turning itself into a subscription model. The developers of Tweetbot, Tapbots, have changed it up this year and have released the sixth version of Tweetbot that makes it a subscription model, whereas previously, when you purchased the app, you would not have to pay for it any more than that one purchase. After all, it does have your tweets in chronological order, whereas the official Twitter app has some tweets that are new and shows others that are older, but in the same timeline. Still, even with those majors features lost, I still use the app every single day because it is truly the best Twitter app for the iPhone, iPad and Mac. Tweetbot has long been our favorite Twitter app for iOS and Mac. However, Twitter has modified its API during the last couple of years that took away great features like streaming (making it so you don’t have to refresh your timeline and it always finding the newest tweets on your timeline) and eliminating on-time notifications. Tapbots Releases Early Access Version of Tweetbot 6.

Molar mass of al5/9/2023 (1,6,16,19,21,22) The presence of these metals relieves the accumulation of liquid boron oxide films by forming porous ternary oxides, (16,17,19) and their ignition raises the local temperature of the reaction interface, thereby facilitating the more complete oxidation of boron. In the quest to accelerate the combustion performance of B, metals such as Mg, Al, Zr, Fe, Ti, and Li have been used in conjunction with B. Molten oxide clogs the pores and slows down the oxidation reaction. High-temperature sintering leads to agglomeration of B powder due to the low melting temperature of B 2O 3 (450 ☌). Postprocessing separation and drying steps render the available methods more complex and time-consuming. However, it requires multiple chemicals and processing steps prone to introducing contaminants. Size reduction of metal particles in the presence of organic solvents using high-energy ball milling has emerged as an effective method. Nonthermal plasma processing has been shown to be successful in enhancing the energetic performance over untreated boron but requires low-pressure equipment that is harder to scale-up. (16−23) Functionalization with organic compounds results in the reduction of the amount of energy released per unit mass due to the presence of less energetic materials on the B surface. (1,5) Attempts to overcome these limitations include surface functionalization of B by organic compounds, (9−14) reduction of the oxide, followed by surface passivation using nonthermal plasma processing, (15) and coating with metals to form composites and metal borides by ball milling and high-temperature sintering methods. (5−8) The melting of the oxide shell before the solid core clogs the pores leads to particle agglomeration and acts as a diffusion barrier to the incoming oxidizer, thus delaying the boron (B) oxidation. (1−4) Its ignition performance, however, is hindered by the presence of a native oxide on the surface, which melts at relatively low temperatures (450 ☌ at atmospheric pressure). Overall, the results demonstrate the potential of using B/Al blends to improve the energetic performance of B.īoron has shown high promise as a fuel additive for propulsion and energetic applications due to its high gravimetric (58 kJ/g) and volumetric (140 kJ/mL) enthalpies of oxidation. We demonstrate the formation of ternary oxide by the oxidation of the B/Al blend that provides porous channels for the oxidation of B, thereby maximizing the contact of the metal and oxidizer. The high energy release is due to the synergistic effect of B oxidation and thermite reaction between Al and B 2O 3. All compositions release more energy than the individual components, and the blend containing 10% Al by weight outperforms pure B by 40%. B/Al blends with different compositions are optimized using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, and the best sample in terms of energy release is characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Here, we report a simple and effective method that removes the oxide in situ during oxidation via an exothermic thermite reaction with aluminum that enriches the particle in B at the expense of Al. However, the native oxide present on the surface limits the available energy and rate of its release during oxidation. Boron has the highest enthalpy of oxidation per unit mass (and volume) among metals and metalloids and is an excellent candidate as a solid fuel.

The ¼" jacks are called "phone" jacks because they were invented for use on telephone switchboards. Why are there so many formats with so many odd names? The connectors' origins are usually historical. MIDI and USB cable photos courtesy Hosa Technology, Inc.

Connector TypesĪ variety of different plug types for connecting audio equipment has evolved over the years your studio probably already has several types. Once you learn the basics of these connector types, you'll no more try to plug your S/PDIF digital input into your analog aux than you would your toaster into your phone jack. Stereo versus mono, multichannel: How many channels of audio are you transmitting? If you try to transmit stereo signal over a mono cable, you'll lose a channel because you'll be missing the electrical connection for that channel.Voltage level (analog): If the signal is transmitted as analog voltage, what's the level of the signal? Different equipment uses different levels.Multiple channels can be transmitted compactly, as in ADAT Optical, which transmits eight uncompressed audio channels over a single fiber-optic cable. If a device isn't set up for that signal, it won't work.ĭigital signal advantages: Audio transmitted digitally doesn't suffer fidelity degradation or added noise the way analog audio does. Digital signals require that the receiving device speak the correct digital language. Digital versus analog: What kind of data are you sending? Analog signals can be understood by any analog input or output, though noise and other problems can be caused by level mismatches.Optical cables transmit digital data as light, not electrical voltage, and are exclusively digital. The voltage on the hot lead can be an analog or encoded digital signal in some cases, analog and digital cables are interchangeable, even though the signals aren't. Coaxial versus optical cabling: Most cables are coaxial or "coax," meaning they're shielded wire cables that carry voltage on the center ("hot") lead, around which is wrapped a braided shield that connects to ground.Adapters won't convert one type of signal to another, however. If a connection doesn't fit, you may be able to buy an adapter. You won't need to buy all new cables, though. You'll want to match up the physical connectors so you're not literally trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Generally speaking, a plug (the "male" side of the connection) has protruding pins and is found at the end of a cable, while the jack (the "female" side) is found on a panel and has one or more recesses into which the plug's protrusions fit. Physical connector types: Jacks and plugs are differently shaped connections on your equipment.Here are some specific factors to pay attention to: Fortunately, these connectors, despite their physical differences, do the same thing: they carry signals between equipment. Audio cables come in a variety of shapes and sizes. If you don't have experience connecting audio equipment, your first glimpse at a professional's collection of cables can be daunting.

Beach weather santa cruz5/9/2023 Try to catch a showing on the main screen for the full retro experience. The Del Mar is a classic American theatre that was built in 1936 as a vaudeville theatre. It features mostly local bands, but also some big names too. One of the best free things to do in Santa Cruz is to catch a concert at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which puts on free concerts on Friday nights from June to the end of August. It’s a cosy spot to while away some time in the company of books. It has a huge selection of books, plus they also hold regular events. You know we love a good bookshop, and Bookshop Santa Cruz is the best in the city. And you might also spot some sea lions, dolphins, otters, sharks and seals. There are different species to look out for at different times of year, including humpbacks and grey whales. Whales migrate past Santa Cruz all year round and there are plenty of whale watching tours you can do. We also loved Natural Bridges State Beach where we saw a gorgeous sunset (it’s also where the butterflies are in November).įor surfing, Pleasure Point Beach and the Hook is the most popular Santa Cruz spot, as well as Four Mile Beach at Wilder Ranch State Park and Steamer Lane on West Cliff Drive. Main Beach is best for families, and Cowell Beach is a classic surfing spot, perfect for beginners.įor a quieter, local beach, try Seabright State Beach, Sunny Cove and Twin Lakes State Beach. The two most popular (and busy) beaches are Main Beach, which is right in front of the Boardwalk, and Cowell Beach, on the other side of the wharf. Santa Cruz isn’t short on gorgeous beaches. There are over 80 miles of trails and many waterfalls, including Berry Creek Falls, which can be reached by an 11-mile track that climbs 1000 feet.īig Basin is California’s oldest state park and some of the redwoods there are over 2,000 years old! It’s definitely one of the most beautiful things to see in Santa Cruz. Please note that Big Basin State Park and the hike to Berry Creek Falls is currently closed due to the CZU fire in 2020.īerry Creek Falls is One of the most beautiful hikes in Santa Cruz County is the Berry Creek Falls Trail at Big Basin State Park. Photo courtesy of Visit Santa Cruz County We gave it a miss as we were travelling with our baby, so didn’t want to take the risk. Instead it’s best to go the long way round, which is detailed in this blog post. There’s a hiking trail that leads straight down to the beach, which is very steep and treacherous, so not recommended. If you’re the perfect Instagram photo, join the influencers and head to Davenport where there’s a swing hanging from part of an abandoned pier on the beach, which has become one of the most popular photo spots on the California coast. Take an Instagram photo at the Davenport swing And locals love the trails at DeLaveaga Park. Other good options are West Cliff Drive, East Cliff Drive and Seascape Beach Resort. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot dolphins, seals and humpbacks. One favourite is the Old Cove Landing Trail at Wilder Ranch State Park which takes you on a magnificent 7.5 mile coastal track. There are some beautiful coastal hikes in Santa Cruz.

Talking to myself lyrics gallant5/9/2023 This give-and-take runs throughout the entire song, with each chorus getting bigger: wildly oscillating digital whirrs, backing vocals that threaten to overtake the main lines. It’s a self-assured new-school R&B number, with a just-enough rhythm section giving way to immense synth slabs on the chorus. The song that he performed both times was “Weight in Gold,” one of the singles from his debut album Ology. And he gave it his all: in both videos, he seems possessed, like he can’t help but sing and dance and make the absolute most of any sort of spotlight he can grab ahold of. And Seal’s not his only fan: Gallant landed a Tonight Show performance in May of 2016, allowing him to put his mark on the small screen. When Seal says he’s the protégé’s “biggest fan,” Gallant can’t contain his grin. Hearing them build off each other on the final chorus – Seal’s baritone rising in volume as Gallant offers accompaniment whose pitch is only matched by its energy – is a wonderful moment. The second video in the series sees Gallant working with Seal, a clear stylistic influence on Gallant. It’s a remarkable little series, one that provides a window into his evolution on his own terms but feels intimate nevertheless, largely thanks to the little details: the close-cut camerawork that makes you feel like you’re at arms’ length from the vocalists, the way he swings his hands or head or entire body with every note he hits, the melodic or harmonic flourishes he tosses in, seemingly on a whim. There’s an ongoing project that Gallant has called “In the Room.” He uses it to ‘pay tribute to and create something special’ with artists that have inspired him.

Easy audio mixer shareware5/8/2023 We’ve already gushed about Surge in other guides of ours, such as the best free synths guide. It allows you to record and manipulate audio and MIDI tracks quickly and easily. Wavefrom is free and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You are only given the bare necessities so far as I’m concerned, but it’s always nice to know you’ve got things like reverb, chorus, delay, and compressor right at your fingertips. These have come a long way since the early days of Tracktion. Waveform has some built-in effects as well. And, by the way, you will find a few of those in this guide too. Waveform supports all compatible VST and AU plugins too, which means you can easily add and use your favorite virtual instruments and effects inside the DAW. Sure, some people might say this makes it a little cartoony, but I like the strong visual cues. But each track is also given its own vibrant color, which makes it easy to distinguish between each of them. Waveform features a dark interface that’s easy on the eyes. We’ve covered oodles of other free DAWs on MIDINation already. This is a slightly contentious issue, though, at least to the extent that some people find the Waveform workflow counterintuitive. This makes recording and mixing a joy and a breeze. Sure, some menu surfing is par for the course, but compared to a lot of other popular DAWs, Waveform is more user friendly and easier to navigate. The interface is nicely designed and highly intuitive. The best part about Waveform is its fast and streamlined workflow. That said, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t have a soft spot for Tracktion’s Waveform Free (especially given that it’s free), which evolved out of earlier versions, simply known as Tracktion. There are a lot of free digital audio workstations (DAWs) out there, and we know that by and large it’s kind of a “what works for you” situation. |
