![]() Soon could be now or in two to three years, Nazarewicz said.Īnother exciting question remains. This was captured by the Elemental haiku by Mary Soon Lee: If element 119 is confirmed, it will add an eighth period to the periodic table. In this way, you could run for years,” said Nazarewicz.Īlthough the new Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at MSU is not going to produce these superheavy systems, at least within its current design, it might shed light on what reactions could be used, pushing the boundaries of current experimental methods. “Nuclear theory lacks the ability to reliably predict the optimal conditions needed to synthesize them, so you have to make guesses and run fusion experiments until you find something. The search for element 119 continues at several labs, mainly at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia, at GSI in Germany and RIKEN in Japan. Scientists are slowly but surely crawling into that region, synthesizing element by element, not knowing what they will look like, or where the end is going to be. They can no longer be described as a central nucleus with electrons orbiting it much like planets orbit the sun.Īnd as to whether these nuclei can form at all, it is still a mystery. If that is the case, this would challenge the way scientists today define and understand atoms. ![]() They will spend their entire lifetime as congregations of protons and neutrons. For the ones heavier than oganesson, this might be so quick that it prevents them from having enough time to attract and capture an electron to form an atom. These lab-made nuclei are unstable and spontaneously decay soon after they are formed. That force is what prevents its disintegration, but only for a few fractions of a second. It is predicted that atoms with up to 172 protons can physically form a nucleus that is bound together by the nuclear force. And now scientists wonder: how far can this table go? Some answers can be found in a recent Nature Physics Perspective by Witek Nazarewicz, Hannah Distinguished Professor of Physics at MSU and chief scientist at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.Īll elements with more than 104 protons are labeled as “superheavy,” and are part of a vast, totally unknown land that scientists are trying to uncover. It took a decade and worldwide effort to confirm these last four elements. Their atomic numbers – the number of protons in the nucleus that determines their chemical properties and place in the periodic table – are 113, 115, 117 and 118, respectively. In 2016, four new elements were added: nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson. At 150 years old, the table is still growing. Accordingly, the United Nations proclaimed 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements. Next year will mark the 150th anniversary of the formulation of the periodic table created by Dmitry Mendeleev. As the 150th anniversary of the formulation of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements looms, a Michigan State University professor probes the table’s limits in a recent Nature Physics Perspective.

I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet." I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. It goes like this: "I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. You, too, may have come across the "fig tree" somewhere on the great wide web, or on the TV show Master of None. I read the quote long before ever reading The Bell Jar. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, $13, Amazon And yet, Plath has been saddled with the reputation of being "too depressing, guys, too depressing," as one two-star review on Goodreads put it. This problem doesn't seem to affect male authors nearly as much-Ernest Hemingway also died by suicide, but we rarely roll our eyes at A Farewell to Arms as a sad book fit only for sad teenage girls. The fact that she eventually died by suicide has all but overshadowed her life. Sylvia Plath, after all, is known for her death as much as for her writing. ![]() And yet we're always quoting it out of context. The Bell Jar shows us immense pain, but it also shows us recovery. It's not a book that romanticizes mental illness, though. It's harrowing too, of course, as it chronicles young Esther Greenwood's struggle with depression and soul-crushing summer internships. But that wasn't what I got (although I did still read it in the bathtub, out of principle). I'd been hoping for the sort of terrifically sad book that I could read while sobbing in the bathtub. Pete Frame is to be congratulated on the amount of work & research that went into compiling these 'family trees' and then collecting them together in this one volume.When I first read The Bell Jar, I was shocked to discover that it is not, in fact, a huge bummer of a book. ![]() It never ceases to surprise when 'dipping' into this book to discover just who played with whom in their 'early days' and to see how the group/artist that became successful evolved through the changes in personnel. What a joy to reacquaint myself with the original 'trees' and learn an awful lot from the newer ones. ![]() Little did she know that I had seen this edition, effectively volumes 1 & 2 combined, and ordered it as a replacement. She was surprised recently when she saw my much cherished copy in a pile of recycling during a bit of a clear out. ![]() My original copy got its spine chewed through by a very young Jack Russell pup (who survived the trauma) but I kept it anyway, much to my wife's disgust. He is also author of Rockin' Around Britain.īought the original many years ago and found it to be a source of great detail about the artists both before and after their 'moments of fame'. He was also an A&R man for B&C Charisma Records, and manager of Starry Eyed and Laughing.įive volumes of his Rock Family Trees have been published, and the first two were joined as The Complete Rock Family Trees. He founded the English Alternative rock magazine ZigZag in April 1969 and acted as its editor, from its beginning until February 1973, and again from March 1976 until July 1977. Pete Frame is an English music journalist, who produced outlines of the history of rock bands for various magazines (Sounds, NME, Melody Maker and Rolling Stone). His hand-drawn rock trees have appeared in Melody Maker, NME, Rolling Stone, Q and Vox, as well as in numerous tour programmes and on record sleeves. Here for the first time, Volumes one and two of Rock Family Trees are bound into one complete edition.Īmongst others, Frame traces the development and history of Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, Madness, Genesis, T-Rex and The Police in his own inimitable and extraordinarily detailed way. As seen on BBC TV, Pete Frame's Rock Family Trees are world famous and his books have become classics of rock literature. The Rock Family Trees have been described as a National Treasure. The gear to put it lightly was uninspired and ugly. This game, as fun as it was then as it was now, has burned me out. I tend to have fun finding new gear I really like and then putting it on. ![]() Witcher 3 was perfect because while a bunch of gear was ugly as fuck, I was always striving to reach the levels I could upgrade my witcher school gear of choice to look great in, as well as keep playing the story.Įven in Souls titles which is all about the combat, atmosphere, boss fights, etc. I'm very much story driven in these kinds of games, as well as cool gear driven. After spending a few days in BBI I'm convinced it's the best part of the entire game. You'll learn and adapt, you'll get skill upgrades and new weapons. When you first start BBI it will be frustrating, everything will be highly lethal, hp will seem bloated and the new enemies will be overwhelming. Everything up until BBI doesn't really test you. BBI is loaded with cool shit to fight, and is really the game's finest moment. Several mini shortcuts are available (doors that only unlock one way) and if you're immune to fall damage you can skip entire areas as well. This is where you get ready for BBI.īBI is a giant 3 part dungeon with 3 mega bosses, each unlocking a shortcut once defeated. There's a lot of new bosses, a giant new dungeon and even some quests to do. Once you complete the main story boss the world changes a lot. My level 130 dresses like a hobo cause I like the look, not because it gives me any kind of advantage. Game plays the same whether you're a highly equipped level 50 or a fashionable level 80. You can just level up a bit to make up the difference in values. If you want to wear good looking, but weak, armor: go ahead. ![]() The numbers you get from armor are the same as the numbers you get from leveling up. You're looking at it wrong, or at least in a weird way. They put all the effort towards heavy armor. My biggest issue with it, as I had the first time around, is the ugly looking light armor for assassins. Still that's 40 hours out of the game I got. The time spent going through these areas over and over again wirth the hopes to get the end game gear that I wouldn't really be using unless I did a NG+ isn't enough of an incentive. I think I'm done with the game for the time being. And seeing how the only other light armor I can get is also random drops from the other end-game area and it isn't all that good looking. ![]() I don't have the patience right now to do shit like this again. Me and RNG are done after games like Destiny and Monster Hunter. Went through some levels and got exactly 1 gear, and it ended up being a fucking ring lol. I don't wanna go through a thing I have to go through it over and over again with no shortcuts and go through chests that only have a chance to give me cool loot, and it's apparently a small chance at that. But I don't have the patience at the moment to go through what seems to be essentially the chalice dungeons from Bloodborne. Honestly? Seems like it'd be fun if i felt like doing something like it. It's especially bad when so much of the heavy armor looks sweet, they out no effort in lightwear.Īlso decided to give a try to the BBI. The lack of fashion gear hurts this like a motherfucker. does it become useful in any practical way? Ancient scrolls, flasks, all kinds of flowers, etc. Happened a lot while I was guiding Ser something something to shadow fort (or rather, trying to find where I could go on the map and falling to my death a lot while looking for paths or shortcuts toward where the quest maker seemed to be) I couldn't figure out how to get there on the map, so I gave up and took on what seemed to be the more local plot related quest at the capital.Ĭoncerning items and whatnot, does any of this junk really do anything helpful? I'm loaded with tons of seemingly useless or impractical goods. ![]() I'd like to add that I really hate traveling across the enormous map, only to die and then respawn on the otherside of the world. Felt like I'm missing something, but according to the quest, that's all I was supposed to do. Then there was a bunch of tentacles that just wouldn't quit, so I ran all the way back out. I was fine, so I skipped at least half the level by falling to the bottom of the pit on this monster. This troll or something came out, I jumped on its back and it jumped off the cliff, killing itself. Went to the bottom of this pit that pawns guarded over or something. All I gather right now is that there's a cloud hanging over the land and I'm supposed I get buff and fight the dragon because of reasons. Either I'm not paying enough attention or am overwhelmed, or the story is rather light. I feel like I'm just flying through quests without understanding what in actually doing. So I'm at the capital and finished the arisen tablet quest. In that time, we have encountered all types of websites with various optimization problems.

It can sometimes overcompensate itself and make the audio loudness fluctuate a little bit, so it might not sound consistent in all cases. ![]() Turning this option on is especially useful for listening to music with vocals, as it tries to enhance the quality of the vocals by making them more clear. I personally keep this specific setting disabled and use a custom equalizer profile instead. Might be useful for certain situations, but feel free to try it for yourself to see if it's something that might work for you. Using this option is not recommended for daily use, but when enabled, it will amplify the system volume level to make the audio very loud. I'll break down each option and briefly explain what they do in the section below. When you tap any one of the profiles within the app, you will be presented with a new screen with multiple options to choose from. You can use the example profiles from Step 5 or do some experimenting to see what sounds the best to you. You have two custom profile options (Custom 1 and Custom 2) where you can tweak the audio settings and make one for yourself. While watching videos on YouTube or listening to podcasts, this option will specifically cut out the bass and bring the vocals to the front, which makes it easier to hear the speaker. Your audio can get quite loud rather quickly so be aware of that when selecting this option. This setting can be used for a variety of things since it amplifies the overall volume quite a bit. While listening to music, this option should make the audio a bit more punchy with slightly increased bass to enhance the audio. When you want to watch movies, this option should make the vocal audio stand out more than usual while maintaining some bass for good sound effects. Don't worry about it you probably won't need it anyway. Typically, you would be able to hear a sample song to test the sound settings, but it appears this option is broken right now. ![]() It will begin installing the module, and once it finishes, tap the "Reboot" option to proceed. From there, navigate to the "Download" folder (or the location you stored the module file), followed by tapping the main installer file. From the main screen on Magisk Manager, tap the menu icon on the left, go to "Modules," then tap the plus sign button at the bottom. Next, you must open the Magisk Manager app so you can begin flashing the file onto your device. If you're using a computer, go ahead and mount your phone then transfer the file over to your internal storage.

No complicated setup here - just a few quick settings and you're good to go! I'll show you how to configure this module and share two great profiles I'm using to enhance your listening experience. This works for both the phone speaker itself and your headphones as well. The speaker is decent on its own, but it appears to have some hidden potential at the same time.īy utilizing the Dolby Digital Plus Magisk module by repey6, you can turn your decent speaker into one that punches well above its weight. But like many new phones, it's plagued with the single bottom-firing speaker that left us wanting more in the sound department. ![]() The OnePlus 6T is easily one of 2018's best value phones for many reasons, especially when it comes to rooting and modding. ![]() ![]() There are plenty of file sharing options you can choose from.

So useful for photographers who use a projector to show galleries during in-person sales meetings. Another neat thing about the ColorMunki Display is that you can even use it to calibrate a projector. Another cool feature is you can set it to monitor the ambient lighting near your computer and update your screen to account for the available light. This is useful because unfortunately monitors do change over time, so I set mine up to remind me to calibrate every four weeks. Another great feature is that you can set the software to remind you to re-calibrate at certain intervals. The before-and-after feature at the end was really nice, because it showed me how it changed the appearance of my screen and how it made my monitor brighter and my colors more accurate. It then calibrated my monitor and changed my monitor settings for me, so I didn’t have to do a thing or dig through any monitor settings myself. The program showed me exactly where and how to place the device on my screen. It was super easy for me and the whole process took less than 10 minutes. There were options for “easy” or “advanced” and I selected “easy” and let the wizard guide me through the entire calibration process. ![]() I popped the software CD in and installed it, and started up the wizard. I was worried it would take a lot of time and possibly be confusing, but I was so wrong! The ColorMunki Display includes a software CD, the calibration device, and a simple user manual. One reason I had been putting it off is that it seems like a complicated task. I recently used the X-Rite ColorMunki Display to calibrate my monitor and my first impression was that it was SO easy to use! I got this new monitor fairly recently and the color seemed really good so I had slacked on calibrating it until now, which I know is a major mistake! Calibrating your monitor is incredibly important to ensure prints and products will match what you see on your screen. I'm worried about having to replace the screen in the future and not being able to use it, while I could use the color munki display.CLICK PROS TEST THE LATEST PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS.įeatured Product: X-Rite ColorMunki Display Lastly, I'm worried about legacy issues with the NEC oem puck (since having my monitor and color calibrator rendered useless by upgrading to windows 7!). The auto white balance on my nikon d300 is horrid so the color checker is something I want to pick up, and with the bundle it's half price. I just want something that is easy to use and does a decent job, hence the colormunki display. I have a home studio (which I haven't started to use yet) and need accurate prints, but I'm a beginner in color calibration. I am aware of the differences between the i1display pro and the colormunki display. The Dell is a Japanese Dell.ġ) is the spectraview software really worth it?

Aer Lingus check in at ManchesterĪer Lingus is currently operating from both Terminals 1 and 2 at Manchester Airport. Let’s see what ‘value carrier’ means in practice. IAG positions Aer Lingus as a ‘value’ carrier in comparison with British Airways – a view which was definitely unfair pre-Club Suite and is still playing down what Aer Lingus has to offer. Flights currently run until the end of April and the service is due to return in November 2022. Flying Aer Lingus to Barbadosīarbados is a seasonal route for Aer Lingus that operates three times a week during the Winter. HfP paid for all of its incidental expenses. The hotel reviews will follow later this week. This included business class flights on Aer Lingus from Manchester as well as short stays at two different hotels. We partnered with, operated by the Barbados Tourist Board, to arrange a free trip. These routes have now been operating for six months and we were keen to take a look. ![]() That said, business class availability for Avios redemptions is very tight with no guaranteed availability. The bottom line is that Aer Lingus is now offering transatlantic long haul flights on which you can both earn and burn your Avios, which is an exciting opportunity for anyone outside the Heathrow catchment area. Aer Lingus is not in oneworld, so you do not receive any British Airways Executive Club status benefits.) You can earn Aer Lingus status credits, of course, if you credit your flight to an AerClub account. (At present, you cannot earn British Airways Executive Club tier points when you fly with Aer Lingus, even on transatlantic routes. It broadens the route network and give anyone who likes to earn and burn Avios a reason to avoid Virgin Atlantic or Tui. With BA’s weak presence from Manchester it was an easy way for IAG, the parent company of both airlines. It was wrong on the first point and has had to lease some A330 aircraft from Qatar Airways to enable it to operate its full schedule from Ireland …. The rationale behind the move was that Aer Lingus thought it would have some spare aircraft post-covid that it could make better use of on leisure routes from Manchester. ![]() Next, protect the surfaces you don’t want to paint. Prepare the night before if possible, so you’re ready to start work early in the morning. Once you have everything you need for the job, you have to properly protect everything you don’t want damaged, dripped on or sprayed (meaning your desktop computer, the desk, the flat-screen TV, the cat). Cap, old shirt, old jeans, old shoes clothes you’re willing to get dirty.An extension pole to attach your roller to (your broom handle will work, just be gentle so it doesn’t snap in half).Plastic quart containers (like the kind soup comes in from a takeout restaurant).Next, some supplies you likely already have: A clamp-on electric light fixture, and extra 100-watt bulbs.A quart of latex primer, if priming is needed.A quart of spackling compound, and two sheets of #120 sandpaper, if needed.Do not use regular masking tape for this or you will spend hours trying to peel it off afterward!) One roll each of two-inch masking tape and nonstick painter’s blue tape (to mask off doorknobs, floorboards, windowsills and other unpainted surfaces.A two-and-a-half-inch angled paint brush. ![]() Two nine-inch, medium-nap roller covers, and one sturdy nine-inch roller handle.A nine-inch paint pan and one plastic tray liner for each color change.Here’s what you should get at the paint store. If you’ve no stains, buy a water-based primer to seal up any repairs or patches after they dry. If you have water or mildew stains on your surfaces, buy a quick-drying alkyd or oil-based stain-killing primer, which can double as a primer for patched holes and cracks (and in this case, a cheap disposable brush or disposable mini-roller and handle is fine). Also, don’t buy cheap brushes nothing’s more annoying than trying to move quickly but having to stop constantly and pick bristles out of your paint. Don’t be afraid to overbuy, as most stores allow returns of anything unopened, save for custom-mixed colors. You want to choose the right type of paint - that means water-based latex flat paint for ceilings, flat or “eggshell” finish for walls, and eggshell or semi-gloss for sills and doors. ![]() If you’re in a hurry, stay away from vivid colors like red they can take two to three coats to cover a surface properly. White and shades of off-white are generally cheapest. That paint doesn’t drip much, and it covers better than others. When considering brands, know that professional painters prefer Benjamin Moore paints, as does Wirecutter, The New York Times product review site. Many will even deliver paint and supplies. If you bring your wall and ceiling measurements to the store, they’ll hook you up with exactly what you need. Gather the right suppliesįiguring out the type and amount of materials you’ll need for the job is often the most challenging aspect of painting. Assuming your walls and ceilings are in basic good shape, here’s how to do it the right way, based on my ten years of professional paint contracting experience. It all depends on how much time, effort, and money you want to spend.įor most people, though, cheaper is better, and that means doing it yourself. Painting an apartment is like going out to dinner - you can find a hot dog wagon, put down a few bucks and get it over with, or you can go to a nice restaurant and spend a bundle. |
