THESE ARE EXAMPLES ONLY JUST SHOWING DIFFERENCES I played with different numbers, started out with 0.015 % then went to 0.017 %, 0.018% and now at 0.020 % of Cook chamber volume.Įxample: Say you have a Cook Chamber that is 22 in. I think the Cook chamber is a better factor, after all that is where all your smoke and heat are accumulating. I am of the opinion that Fire box volume has nothing to do with stack volume. The old rule of thumb (Feldon’s is 5% of the Fire box volume) not trying to discredit Feldon’s they have been a very useful tool and a pioneer in helping people figure out what they need. Too big an opening you lose heat and smoke to fast, to small an opening you retain to much heat and smoke creating stale smoke, so what is the magic opening (or stack ) size? Well let’s figure it out. The stack plays a very important part of your smoker’s ability to perform. The most important thing is that YOU ARE HAPPY, it’s your smoker. When it comes to the stack hold it up there, sit or tack it on, step back and take a look. You have spent a lot of time working on and building your smoker, besides working properly it needs to look good. The smoke stack is a very important part of your smoker and has to be sized properly in order for it to work well. There has been a lot of discussion on smoke stacks, how long, what diameter, how far to extend into the cook chamber. I would not attempt to tell anyone what is correct or not correct, just what works for me and some good basic information, to help folks understand how and why the stack works.

Slab-serif type was perhaps first introduced by London typefounder Vincent Figgins under the name "Antique", appearing in a type-specimen dated 1815 (but probably issued in 1817). The first known example of a slab-serif letterform is woodblock lettering on an 1810 lottery advertisement from London. Some of the type designs appearing around this time may be based on signpainting and architectural lettering traditions, or vice versa. Others had completely new structures: sans-serif letters, based on classical antiquity, and reverse-contrast letterforms. Some were developments of designs of the previous fifty years: ultra-bold types known as " fat faces", which were related to " Didone" text faces of the period but much bolder. Poster-size types began to be developed that were not merely magnified forms of book type, but very different and bolder. Slab serif lettering and typefaces appeared rapidly in the early nineteenth century, having little in common with previous letterforms.Īs the printing of advertising material began to expand in the early nineteenth century, new and notionally more attention-grabbing letterforms became popular. A sample of the typeface Courier, a slab serif face based on strike-on typewriting faces. A sample of the typeface Rockwell, a slab serif face based on the geometric model. History A sample of the typeface Egyptienne, a slab serif face based on the Clarendon model. Slab serif fonts were also often used in typewriters, most famously Courier, and this tradition has meant many monospaced text fonts intended for computer and programming use are slab serif designs. Some fonts oriented towards small print use and printing on poor-quality newsprint paper may have slab serifs to increase legibility, while their other features are closer to conventional book type fonts. These designs may have bracketed serifs which increase width along their length before merging with the main strokes of the letters, while on geometrics the serifs have a constant width.ĭisplay-oriented slab serifs are often extremely bold, intended to grab the reader's attention on a poster, while slab serifs oriented towards legibility at small sizes show less extreme characteristics. Others such as those of the Clarendon genre have a structure more like most other serif fonts, though with larger and more obvious serifs. Some such as Memphis and Rockwell have a geometric design with minimal variation in stroke width: they are sometimes described as sans-serif fonts with added serifs. Slab serifs form a large and varied genre. Slab serifs were introduced in the early nineteenth century. Serif terminals may be either blunt and angular ( Rockwell), or rounded ( Courier). In typography, a slab serif (also called mechanistic, square serif, antique or Egyptian) typeface is a type of serif typeface characterized by thick, block-like serifs. Some headings and the lower passage are in Didone type, but much body text is slab serif. Slab-serif type on the heading of a Chartist poster, 1848. For the 1956 typeface, see Egyptienne (typeface).

Intriguingly, the entire Sims 3 collection – The Sims 3, World Adventures and Ambitions – all still run smoothly – despite being in an outdated aspect ratio, and fairly pixellated on the modern screen. Many of the games were no longer playable (around 70% by estimate) as a result of a decade’s worth of system updates, digital degradation and store removal – but I could still download plenty of these titles, and enjoyed a wild throwback to my distant gaming past. They were all there, preserved in digital amber. Spider-Man and Iron Man were both there, as was the original Final Fantasy for mobile, Pocket God, MapleStory, and the entire Sims 3 mobile collection. Out of curiosity and a sense of nostalgia, I clicked through the ‘Purchased’ user tab, and discovered mounds of apps I’d downloaded as a young child – pimple poppers, sand timers, solitaire, metronomes, the Watchmen movie app, Hangman, and more. The battery life was also a noticeable strength – with normal everyday use, the phone can last around 2-3 days without charging.Īfter playing around in the phone’s settings to familiarise myself with any changes, I soon realised that the App Store retains knowledge of every download you’ve ever made. Read: Apple appears to be removing older apps from its App Storeīeyond these major features, the phone is easy to manoeuvre, conveniently thin (despite the size), and is capable of playing graphically demanding games ( Genshin Impact, LEGO: Builder’s Journey, The Survivalists) that run smoothly, with no noticeable warming to the device. This was a bugbear that plagued the original iPod Touch – and I have vivid memories of frustration with touch tracking. Input is similarly chic, with a pixel-accurate touchscreen that allowed for what seemed like more precise control. The screen is also very impressive – crisp and brightly coloured. The first thing I noticed was the size – it’s a massive phone, almost too big to handle. The Apple App Store always remembersįiring up the iPhone 14 Pro Max was a wild experience – it felt so different to how I remembered these devices. As it turns out, mobile gaming on Apple devices has evolved phenomenally since I last experienced novelty pimple popping and tap-tap-revenging. When I was offered the chance to review the latest iPhone 14 Pro Max, with all its modern high-end hardware and potential, I was extremely curious about how much the experience had changed in the last decade. I eventually graduated from an iPod Touch to an iPhone 5, and then to the ‘dark side’ as an Android user. As phones integrated better-performing hardware and higher resolution screens, these games continued to change – with each device generation bringing drastic improvements. The novelty wore off in this period, as apps led way to games – and ‘mobile gaming’ evolved, as a concept. Just some of the highlights from my now-preserved iPod Touch app library. In the early 2010s, mobile action adventure games took off, with adaptations of Iron Man and Spider-Man being core standouts for me, as a young and impressionable iPod user. Later, games became more complex – and we got hits like rhythm tapper, Tap Tap Revenge, and even mobile ports of titles like Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. There were lightsaber simulators, puzzle block games, AI illustrators, ‘love calculators’, and countless imitations of Diner Dash. In another, you could pop pimples by tapping the screen. In one, you could tilt your screen and ‘beer’ would flow across your device. Some didn’t even really have a true function. There were no sweeping, large-scale adventures, cute puzzlers, or subscription services like Apple Arcade. In this era, mobile games weren’t what we know them to be now. Even in this early stage of the iPod and iPhone era, when apps were relatively simple and experimental, I fell in love. More than that, games at your fingertips. I begged for one, as a Christmas gift, keen to get my sweaty hands on a device that was, at the time, fairly revolutionary. I was 14, and the first generation of iPod Touch devices had hit the market. I remember the first time I played games on an iOS device – vividly. Ideally you want to eliminate all of Quadrant 3 by either delegating it out to others or by politely saying No. This would be stuff like interruptions, some meetings and phone calls. The third quadrant would contain items that appear to have a high urgency, but are not at all important. This is where highly effective people focus the most. Quadrant 2 activities are the ones that will really make the difference to your life and help you accomplish a lot more of what you want. Things like strategic planning, relationship building, exercise, preparation, education and other personal development activities – all things we know we need to do but somehow seldom get around to actually doing, because they don’t feel urgent. Quadrant 2 comprises of things that are not urgent right now but important. This leads to stress, burnout, and constantly putting out fires. The problem is if you spend most of your time managing crises and problems, it’ll keep getting bigger and bigger until it consumes you. The space is reserved for emergencies and extremely important deadlines. Quadrant 1 would only contain those activities and responsibilities that require your immediate attention. The activities in Quadrant 1 would comprise of things that could not have been forseen and things that could have, if they were planned for. The 4 Quadrants Explained Quadrant 1 – urgent and important Note: Stephen Covey’s 4 Quadrants are also referred to as the Time Management Matrix or Eisenhower’s Urgent-Important Principle.Īs you can see, the two main criteria on which you evaluate tasks are urgency and importance. “The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.” – Stephen Covey The Time Management Matrix It’s introduced as part of Habit 3, “Put first things first,” and it’s designed to help you become a more effective self-manager. One effective principle for doing so comes from Stephen Covey’s bestselling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.Įven though it was originally published in 1989 a lot the ideas to achieve success are still very relevant, especially Stephen Covey’s 4 quadrants or time management matrix.īy using Stephen Covey’s 4 quadrants you’ll be able to schedule your week according to what’s most important to you and what will have the most meaningful results. We all get the same 24 hours in a day so how is it that some people are able to accomplish so much more than the rest of the population? And how can you start doing the same? The reign of Tukulti-Ninurta I marked the height of the Middle Assyrian Empire and included the subjugation of Babylonia and the foundation of a new capital city, Kar-Tukulti-Ninurta, though it was abandoned after his death. 1243–1207 BC), under whom Assyria expanded to become the dominant power in Mesopotamia and the Near East, eclipsing rivals such as the Hittites, Egyptians, Hurrians, Mitanni, Elamites and their fellow Mesopotamian Babylonians. This aspiration chiefly came into fruition through the efforts of the kings Adad-nirari I ( r. Under Ashur-uballit, Assyria began to expand and assert its place as one of the great powers of the Ancient Near East. The Middle Assyrian Empire was founded through Assur, a city-state that also controlled trading colonies through most of the preceding Old Assyrian period, and the surrounding territories achieving independence from sporadic domination of the Mitanni kingdom. In terms of Assyrian history, the Middle Assyrian period was marked by important social, political and religious developments, including the rising prominence of both the Assyrian king and the Assyrian national deity Ashur. Though the empire experienced successive periods of expansion and decline, it remained the dominant power of Mesopotamia and often the entirety of West Asia throughout the period. The Middle Assyrian Empire was Assyria's first true period of ascendancy as an empire, although Assyrian kings had existed from perhaps as early as the 25th century BC, and from the 21st century BC Assyria had controlled trading colonies in Anatolia and had economic and military influence in Southern Mesopotamia, and from the late 19th century BC had been an integral part of the "Empire of Shamsi-Adad", sometimes called the Old Assyrian Empire. 1365 BC and the rise of Assyria as a territorial kingdom to the death of Ashur-dan II in 912 BC.

The New York area will be hit by heavy rain followed by a temperature drop of up to 30 degrees, which could cause a “flash freeze” on roads - leading to treacherous driving conditions Friday evening, Lautenbacher said. And, believe me, it is not just for preparing Christmas dinner,” the worker said. I just hear people in Rockaway starting to panic. “Stop and Shop in Rockaway is out of control. Some folks in the neighborhood were frantically prepping Thursday. Fox Weather 60- to 70-mph gusts cannot be ruled out. New York City and south shore of Long Island need to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.” The expected bomb cyclone could cause flooding in the Northeast. “It’s not a question of if we lose power - but when, is my feeling. “We already have significant coastal erosion from storms this year and the timing of the tide and moon cycle make for a perfect storm,” said a city worker who lives in the Rockaways. In New York City, Rockaway Beach residents - many of whom were devastated by floods during Superstorm Sandy a decade ago - were bracing for a possible disaster Thursday. Rapidly strengthening Arctic winds are forecast to blow up to 60 mph from the Great Lakes region to Buffalo, New York, and in parts of New England beginning Friday, potentially knocking out power. “This storm is very, very strong and has a deep cold air blast from the Arctic,” said Lautenbacher. Parts of New Jersey, Maine and Long Island are expected to be swamped by 1 to 3 feet of flooding followed by freezing during peak holiday travel times, said Fox Weather meteorologist Marissa Lautenbacher.

Setting the pace for puzzles in games is tricky and incredibly difficult to optimize. The illuminations from the moonlight are absolutely fantastic! (and spooky lol). It's a long and complicated puzzle chain, but it's an interesting puzzle and we didn't want to lose it. The second issue is that Act 1 was getting really long and the wrench puzzle was contributing to that. Solving the first puzzle became a moment of disappointment rather than triumph. At this point, you've been built up with anticipation, then you solve the first puzzle and bam! You now have to go solve the wrench puzzle and there is no forewarning. The first was the moment you realize you need the wrench to progress, you had just solved another long puzzle chain that unlocked the room where the wrench puzzle is solved. There was a fairly long puzzle chain in Act 1 to get a wrench that unlocks a new area of the game. Only a crazy person would design a puzzle like that. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with monkeys and wrenches. One of them we are now referring to as "The Wrench Puzzle". As we play the game and do more playtests, issues start to come up. |
