Outboard vs inboard5/2/2023 ![]() Outboard motors are cheaper than inboard engines.Newer four-stroke engines are quiet and vibration-free.Depending on the mounting, it may be possible to turn the motor for increased steering capability in tight places.In most cases the motor can be raised or tilted to get the prop out of the water, producing less drag when sailing – and reducing the risk of entangling lines or debris in the water.An outboard can be removed much more easily for repair or replacement.Accessibility makes it easy to service the motor.Inboard engines require shaft packing where the prop shaft exits the hull, increasing the risk of water leaking into the boat (even - rarely - fatally).Replacing an inboard with a new inboard is more expensive than with an outboard of comparable size.It is very difficult and expensive to remove an inboard engine for overhaul or replacement, and sometimes impossible without cutting through fiberglass.Inboards are typically mounted in tight spaces and are often difficult to work on.Inboards are heavier and make the boat a little slower. ![]()
Goreader pro5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() To this end, Palm introduced its Palm Education Pioneer (PEP) Grant Program. Just as Apple Computer went after the education market at the outset of the PC revolution, Palm is moving quickly into the market and Apple no longer has a handheld computer to offer after the death of the Newton. is quickly moving to the head of the class. District 230 selected PrintBoy since it is the only application on the market that supports their printing needs.īased on its innovative programs targeted specifically at professional educators, Palm Inc. A student just has to point the Palm computer at a printer equipped with an infrared port, beam the assignment, and it will immediately be formatted and printed on full size paper. This program enables students to easily print their assignments directly from their handhelds. This is paid in nine monthly payments of US$25 each or a US$75 lease program.Ī key element of the District 230 project is the selection of PrintBoy Deluxe software. The students use 8MB Palm units at a cost of US$225 each. There 1,700 students and 65 teachers in all three consolidated high schools are taking part with applications in physical fitness, nutrition, biology, English, and science. The largest deployment of handheld computers to date is in Consolidated High School District 230 located about 25 miles southwest of Chicago in Orland Park, Illinois. Palm handhelds are powerful, simple to use and carry, and they deliver a high level of utility at an affordable price." "For the first time, we have access to a device that can deliver on the fundamental promises of technology in the classroom. "We see Palm handhelds as a 'transforming technology' for our students and for schools in general," stated Eric Peterson, assistant headmaster at the school. Shortly after South Dakota's announcement, Forsyth Country Day School, a leading-edge independent school outside of Winston-Salem, North Carolina became the first K-12 school in the country to require the use of Palm handheld computers and to pilot their use among students as young as first grade. ![]() Another benefit is that Palm handhelds can be loaded with financial calculators, reference books, literature, coursework organizers, and word processors, so we can considerably lighten the 20-pound backpack that the typical student lugs around." Palm's mobile technology enables us to extend learning beyond the walls of the classrooms. ![]() We must provide a learning environment using the latest technology so our students can take advantage of the benefits of anytime, anywhere learning to better prepare for the future. Abbott said, "The University of South Dakota students live in a mobile society. The students will bear a portion of the cost through a small assessment during the four semesters. The University actually provided Palm handhelds to all first-year students as well as beginning law and medical students. to require handheld computers for first year students. This Spring, the University of South Dakota became the first University in the U.S. Just as business, industry, and individuals have learned that handheld computers improve personal productivity and creativity, so educators are moving quickly to bring this technology to the classroom. ![]() Palms and other handhelds make the grade with studentsĪsk anyone and they'll tell you that the basics of education are "readin' 'ritin' and 'rthmatic." These basics still represent the foundation of education, but how students learn these subjects is changing profoundly with the introduction of the handheld computer in the classroom. ![]() Read chm android5/2/2023 ![]() ![]() This versatile editor can not only transform CHM files to PDF files, but also convert PDF to and from many popular file formats such as Word, Excel, and more quickly and efficiently.

With this program it is possible to work with a default avatar but I like to create the garment directly on my model to adjust the volume of the garment to the character's body perfectly. For this reason I decided to create the sweater in Marvelous Designer. When I do this kind of render, I like to combine the simplicity of the cartoon style with aspects that give it realism in some parts such as clothing and hair. With the eyes finished I prepare to make the last piece of modeling, the sweater. ![]() I draw the eye texture in procreate for Ipad. When I’m making the eyes, I prefer to separate it into two parts, one where I will apply my texture with the iris texture and the other with an outer covering of the eye that will act as a cornea and sclera. With the base of my character I prepare to do the rest of the elements. The projection is done fairly well and I only have to correct small details. In this case I used the mesh of a realistic model that I made months ago. Thanks to this new system I can reproject my own mesh with a correct topology on my new high poly model. Thanks to a plugin called Zwrap I don’t have to carry out the retopology of each new character. It’s very important to create a good topology in our characters to make the next steps easier, both for rigging and animation. Until a few months ago, I performed the model retopology in 3ds Max manually. Once I am satisfied with the result of the high resolution model, I move on to the creation phase of the low resolution model. In the detailing phase of the model, I keep in mind that I will later bake it in Substance Painter, so I try not to create areas that later could generate conflict in the projection, especially the mouth and fingers, so I give them a reasonable separation. Once I am happy with the volumes in this blocking phase I make a dynamesh and I begin to detail and polish the mesh. I find it easier to create a humanoid by separating it into parts, it also means I can reuse it and adapt it to other characters. For me the most important thing is to create a character with appeal, that premise goes above any design that I have taken as a reference, so sometimes I take licenses to gain appeal and I move away in some cases from the original.įor blocking I basically use spheres and ZBrush cylinders, always working symmetrically. I start in the blocking phase, where I make sure that the proportions fit the 2D design. NET Framework Version:9 ASP.NET Version.Currently, after years of modeling, I have several anatomical bases of my own that I use in my work, but I still like to carry out anatomical studies from time to time as a practice.

The batteries are just 1.5 years old and I don't want to loose them (though I can't explain what really happened). It's all about applying some short high current pulses during a long period (24-48h) to break down those sulfate crystals. Nevermind, I've read about some desulfator circuits that might help. Usually, this "desease" is caused by insufficient charge or deep discharge but it wasn't the case anyway (the rest of the batteries are OK). They seem to be affected by sulfation (some spongy white deposits on top of the plates). I have kind of moved on from desulfators and have focused on how not to let a battery sulfate, as in, better battery chargers.I need to recover two of my lead-acid batteries (from a large battery bank). There is a mountain of designs, information, personal experience, and success stories there, from around the world. Look for "Direct drive" and "voltage doubler". If you are interested in desulfator designs that actually work, go to the "lead Acid desulfator forum", ( ) under the "pulse charging and desulfation" section. The little inductive kickback circuits out there are a waste of time. It takes a lot of energy to convince sulfates to reform into sulfuric acid. These bogus circuits have done more to sully desulfator usage than to desulfate batteries. There are a huge number of desulfator circuits out there that are grossly under powered, producing less than 5 amps of pulse current. A $19 motorcycle battery from X-Mart is a waste of time. A battery that has sat in a shed to two years is a waste of time. The success rate varies based on battery size and construction, amount and age of sulfation, and power of the desulfator. Pulsed desulfation, where a battery is pulsed with high amperage pulses (>100 amps) will often bring a battery to a higher state of health. ![]() ![]() Failure to charge a battery correctly leads to sulfates building up and hardening on the plates and thus, early battery failure. They don't realize that a battery has to be charged is a specific way in order to maximize the conversion of sulfates back into sulfuric acid. Too many people think of a lead acid battery as a big capacitor, in that all you have to do is replace the energy you used plus some extra. "Pulse conditioning" is a far better term for what is being done to the battery. "Pulse charging" is a very poor description because there is very little charging is going on. Most of the so called "intelligent" chargers have a pulse charging mode, that applies to both nickel & lead chemistries - so far I've not bothered taking any measurements. The arrangement worked brilliantly with Ni-Cd cells, but the results with Ni-Mh were less impressive. The clamp rectifier was SB to limit the amplitude of the reverse excursions. ![]() The circuit was the basic capacitor input voltage doubling rectifier, the forward pass rectifier was the basic fast silicon so the Trr produced the required reverse spikes. In the end I used a capacitor coupling with a selected combination of fast silicon and Shottky-barrier rectifiers on the transformer output of a surplus SMPSU. Years ago I experimented with this, but found the results with 50Hz unimprssive. The same method applies to nickel chemistry, especially Ni-Cd. Putting a resistor in parallel with the half wave rectifier put a small reverse flow between each pulse of raw DC current. Originally for extending the life of zinc/carbon cells, it borrows from an electroplating technique of periodically reversing the current flow to get smooth even plating - just raw DC would plate some of the zinc back on the casing, but it was rough and granular.

Although it happened many years ago, Sally just can’t throw this story out of his mind. That can help him a lot in Investigating the mysterious murder everyone is talking about. We don’t know what happened there, but after that Sally obviously got a paranormal ability – seeing ghosts and talking to them. ![]() Nevertheless, he is able to make some friends at a new place where he and his father move after some unknown tragic events in their home town. He doesn’t only look strange (and not just because of his mask, but also because of his strange hair style and color) – he behaves in a rather bizarre way. The first thing that will attract your attention when you start playing Sally Face is of course the boy that is in the center of events. Why is he wearing it and what actually happened at the manor in the distant past – these are the questions you’ll have to answer playing the game! Old mansion, lamenting ghosts and mysterious murders! The main hero is a weird kid named Sally Fisher who instantly stands out among his friends because he has a white mask on his face. Sally Face is a quest game with elements of detective and horror where you have to explore an old mansion and investigate a murder that happened here years ago. ![]() ![]() Playing a TTS notification was quite easy. ![]() I am stil playing around with the Home Assistant integration but I have no experience with media players in HA so I am still struggeling a bit with that part. With a Lan connection this step is probably not needed but I did not test it.Īll the borads in the network can then be grouped and ungrouped over the app and you can select the music for each of the boards or groups. The setup is pretty easy: You can download the 4Stream app which allows you to set the W-Lan accesspoint of the devices over bluetooth. I recently ordered 5 Arylic Up2Stream v4 Amplifier borads and they are working quite good. They are using Linkplay and there is a Home Assistant integration for it. They offer so called DIY boards which are basically amplifier boards without a case and they can therefor be used for DIY projects. I wrote some stuff to allow for full-range adjustment of the Yamaha receivers since the built-in media_player in HA is incapable of adjusting them above 0dB.įirst I was also thinking about using Raspberries with HiFiBerry or similar AMPs and LMS.Ī while ago I’ve seen the Amps from Arylic, which looked very promissing. If you decide to go Yamaha, look in the Projects section. Long term, I will be adding more receivers to get a 1:1 match of channels/zones to speaker pairs, but it wasn’t in the budget when the install was done. These allow for impedance matching, and also allow you to have music playing in only some rooms. ![]() Presently, I drive multiple speaker pairs from one zone by using the OSB in-wall volume knobs. All are Klipsch, Reference series where possible. Depending on the location, I either have speakers in the ceiling, or bookshelf speakers, or outdoor speakers. I went this route since I prefer better speakers than Sonos/Alexa/Google provide. Multi-zone, can handle streaming from any of the sources you mention, good integration with HA, and I stream Plex to them using Chromecasts. But if you have a crafted weapon, that might be a good place for this.I have multiple Yamaha receivers, the newest being a RX-V6A. Not tested, so don't count on it working. I suspect these are going to drop in price slowly, so I can always buy one later, so nothing lost really.įinal thought: if you put this on a weapon (I could have put it on my wand), I guess you can technically swap weapons before you die, if you know you are in risk of dying and that might allow you to retain the food buff. I didn't know it doesn't count as an embellishment, so I put it in the AH and it sold in minutes for a pretty nice amount. This dropped for me from the feast reward. It would take an awful lot of buff food to pay for 50k-55k (plus a potential recraft fee and difficulty recrafting to the same item level due to the added recipe difficulty). Given the cost of this reagent in the AH at the moment, I don't think you can consider it to be a gold saver. ![]() But, I guess if a better item drops, you can switch to that and then potentially later the crafted item will be BiS again for you when you can recraft it to a higher item level. I think a dropped or Great Vault item that gives you avoidance, leech or speed is potentially more useful than keeping a food buff through death. Crafted items can not have tertiary stats. In that sense, if you are serious about M+ and have a suitable non-embellished crafted item, then this is a no-brainer. With this embellishment, food becomes a flask, so if you get a ress, you still have the food buff and don't need to spend 10 seconds eating to get a new one. Комментарий от tigafinI think the #1 user for this would be a Mythic+ player who is focused on beating timers and minmaxing their performance even if they die. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Coffee on the International Delight menu with the lowest amount of trans fat are.
