![]() You can still easily share files between Mac and Windows using a USB or a cloud service. This lack of interoperability means any file you save on Windows will not show up in macOS likewise, you won't be able to access any of your macOS files on Windows. Since you're not using the two operating systems simultaneously, there's no way to transfer files from one OS to another. This is perhaps the biggest disadvantage of Boot Camp Assistant. To switch between the different operating systems, you have to reset your Mac and choose which OS you want to run on the startup screen. You Can't Use Two Operating Systems at the Same Timeīoot Camp doesn't allow you to run two operating systems at the same time. The fact that Boot Camp is free and built into Macs alone may convince some people to use it over a virtual machine app, but just like everything, it has its disadvantages. The Cons of Using Boot Camp to Run Windows This also makes Boot Camp the better option for playing games and using resource-intensive applications. This is because Boot Camp installs Windows on a separate partition which uses less memory.Ī virtualization program runs two operating systems simultaneously (you can minimize Windows while using macOS), but with Boot Camp, you can only use one operating system at a time. Unlike virtualization programs which tend to be sluggish, Boot Camp delivers far more stable performance. Plus, since it's an Apple program and not a third-party one, you don't have to worry about it being unsafe. The only thing you have to download is a Windows ISO file.īoot Camp is completely free and doesn't require a subscription like most virtualization programs. Macs that support Boot Camp Assistant come pre-installed with the dual-boot utility. Here are some other advantages of installing Windows with Boot Camp: 1. Since the different operating systems don't run simultaneously, all of your Mac's hardware resources are allocated to Windows applications. The Pros of Using Boot Camp to Run Windowsīoot Camp is undoubtedly the best way to play Windows games on a Mac because it performs better than any virtualization software. After that, follow the on-screen instructions to finish the installation process. When you run Boot Camp, it'll automatically detect the ISO file. You won't be able to change the partition size after the installation is complete. All you need to do is download an ISO file of Windows and choose how much space you want to allocate to the partition created for the second OS. Installing Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp is extremely simple. Instead, it creates a partition for the second OS. While there's little chance of anything going wrong during the installation process, you should still back up important files before you begin.īoot Camp Assistant doesn't let you run Windows and macOS simultaneously, unlike virtual machine apps like Parallels or VMWare. ![]() Apple recommends 128GB of free storage space to get the best experience. First and foremost, you must have at least 64 GB of free storage to install Windows on your Mac. ![]() Remember Me isn’t the most innovative nor the most polished game on this list, but it earns its place for weaving an interesting cyberpunk tale. Made up of light platforming and Arkham-style combat, it is generally quite clunky and repetitive, balanced somewhat by innovative “memory remix” segments whereby Nilin can actively change a person’s memories to her advantage. Unfortunately the general gameplay is a little lackluster. It’s a quintessential cyberpunk story of sci-fi technology and oppressed society, and whilst it is far from perfect it’s an ambitious and entertaining experience. Playing as Nilin, a “memory hunter”, gamers ally themselves with an underground resistance fighting against the corrupt stranglehold of a huge corporation named Memorize. Released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in 2013, this futuristic romp through "Neo-Paris" has an engaging and unsettling story involving memory wiping and corporate domination through the controlling of peoples’ memories. Remember Me was the first game from Dontnod Entertainment the company that would go on to create Life Is Strange. ![]() You can expect to spend a lot of time in turn-based combat, expending Action Points to move characters, and to perform attacks and an impressive variety of skills.Īn excellent expansion pack titled Shadowrun: Dragonfall is also worth playing if you enjoy the main game, and it’s all available on PC, Android and iOS. This is all realized through massively detailed backdrops that, whilst limited to linear paths, are a joy to traverse. ![]() In this case, this comes through an ingenious merging of fantasy and sci-fi, bringing elves, orcs and trolls into a futuristic but run-down ghetto version of Seattle. Like many games on this list, Shadowrun Returns puts a twist on the standard cyberpunk tropes. The setup is something of a sci-fi murder mystery but the story soon becomes embroiled in conspiracy, cultism and cyber warfare (there’s even a Matrix). It takes place in a cyberpunk re-imagining of Seattle in a near-but-troubled future. Based on the popular tabletop game published by Harebrained Schemes. 23.Shadowrun Returns is an isometric, turn-based tactical RPG. ![]() In the meantime, the team will regularly bring new content to the game dynamically through the Live Puzzles module."ĭeus Ex: Mankind Divided will launch on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One Aug. "Expected to launch after the initial release," the release said, "the puzzle maker will allow players to create challenging levels to share with friends. More details were also released about the mobile game’s upcoming level design tool. Success in the game will reward players of upcoming Deus Ex: Mankind Divided with additional "Praxis Kits" for use in that game. A press release issued today says the game features more than 50 levels, including a new puzzle uploaded to the game each day. The turn-based game features protagonist Adam Jensen and asks players to use his hacking and fighting skills alongside his augmentations to navigate a maze of enemies and puzzles. The mobile title follows in the footsteps of Hitman Goand Lara Croft Go and retails for $4.99. Square Enix announced this morning that it had launched Deux Ex Go on the iOS and Android storefronts. ![]() The outbreak of hostilities in Korea, provided a further impetus to this deployment.The mission of Nike within the continental U.S was to act as a “last ditch” line of air defense for selected areas. population centers and other vital targets. The potential threat posed by such aircraft became much more serious when, in 1949, the Russians exploded their first atomic bomb.The perception that the Soviet Union might be capable of constructing a sizable fleet of long-range, nuclear-armed bomber aircraft capable of reaching the continental United States provided motivation to rapidly develop and deploy the Nike system to defend major U.S. Army realized that conventional anti-aircraft artillery would not be able to provide an adequate defense against the fast, high-flying and maneuverable jet aircraft which were being introduced into service, particularly by the Germans.Fast forward to the first decade of Cold War the Soviet Union began to develop a series of long-range bomber aircraft, capable of reaching targets within the continental United States. Planning for Nike was begun during the last months of the Second World War when the U.S. His efforts at getting a marker placed along Highway 34 continue.(Image: US Army Project Nike missiles on display at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama)Īnother very interesting article from our friends from UrbanGhost today, abandoned Nike Missile bases of the united states.Nike, named for the mythical Greek goddess of victory, was the name given to a program which ultimately produced the world’s first successful, widely-deployed, guided surface-to-air missile system. Landry Brewer’s article “The Missiles of Oklahoma” will appear in the fall issue of The Chronicles of Oklahoma magazine. Marking them above ground after a half-century is a tiny pin in the map of state and world history too. These Cold War relics still echo beneath the surface. “It was a story that needed to be told,” he says. He spearheaded an effort to mark the Willow site, at least, with a historical marker. ![]() He marvels, “That missiles could be fired from southwest Oklahoma and they could land in the Soviet Union in less than an hour.”īrewer, though, researched and wrote an article about them. That bit of Cold War history ended, thankfully, with a whimper instead of a bang. The mothballed sites passed down to local school districts and farmers. They worked in 24 hour shifts to dig the holes and pour all the cement.īusiness in tiny Willow boomed for at least a year.īrewer says, “A local cafe down the road decided to stay open 24 hours a day to accommodate all of the workers.” Landry’s father actually worked on the construction o these sites, all situated in a concentric circle around Altus Air Force Base. He cleaned out the old command module but left the missile bay alone filled with more than a hundred feet of water.īrewer says, “A five man crew lived underground 24 hours a day.” They never looked like much from the surface, but back in 2009 we toured another for the 11 former Atlas missile sites with a man named David Johnson who wanted to turn it into an underground home. “Late in the Eisenhower Administration we developed the first American intercontinental ballistic missile, which was the Atlas,” he says. The Granite School District uses this site to help train show pigs.īut Sayre, OK history professor Brewer sees these sites for what they used to be.įrom 1962 to 1965 they housed nuclear missiles aimed at a country in the communist bloc. This site near the town of Willow in Greer County is home to a few granaries and some farm equipment. “These are huge structures,” says historian Landry Brewer, “Made of reinforced concrete.” WILLOW, OKLAHOMA - They don’t look like much of anything any more concrete pads, metal buildings, and blocked doorways.

Both the tree and the man are in focus from an aperture of f16 and beyond. When you increase the f-number, you can see that the tree is coming to focus gradually. You can see that the person standing in front of the tree is in focus and the tree appears to be blurred when the aperture is at f2.8, which corresponds to a large opening. The fifth column in the infographic represents the variation of Depth of field with respect to change in aperture values. Depth of FieldĪnother important parameter that is controlled by the Aperture is the Depth of Field. Some cameras will allow you to change this 1/3 stops to ½ stops. Thus, it gives you better control of light entering the camera. In most of the DSLR/Mirrorless cameras, you can increase/decrease the Aperture by 1/3 Stops. So, between f2.8 and f4.0, we will have two more aperture values f3.2 and f3.5. In the case of 1/3 stop, we are dividing a stop of light into 3 equal parts. Here, basically, you are dividing one full stop into a half stop. If you go with these values then you will get half of the light that corresponds to next full stop. If you see the ½ stop column in the chart, you can see that there is one aperture value in between each successive full stop. In other words, the light falling in the camera sensor gets reduced by half when you decrease the aperture by one full stop. Here, the f2.8 aperture allows one stop of extra light into the camera when compared to f4. If aperture f2.8 allows x amount of light into the camera, then aperture f4 will allow x/2 amount of light. You can see in the f stop chart that the opening is really big for an aperture value of f2.8 when compared to f11. The term “F stop” can be really confusing if you are a beginner in photography.Ī smaller f-number corresponds to a larger aperture opening and a larger f-number corresponds to a smaller opening. These values correspond to the Aperture value in your camera. You can see three columns- full stop, ½ stop, and 1/3 stop. ![]() In this f stop chart infographic, we can see that the Aperture opening is arranged in descending order (w.r.t size of the opening). ApertureĪs you know, the aperture is the opening of the lens through which light enters the camera. We can divide this infographic into 4 sections- Aperture, F stops, Depth of Field, and Exposure. This visual chart will make photography easy for you □. The F stop chart infographic is shown above. How to Check the Maximum F-stop of a Lens? □. The military court barred the soldiers' identities, the statement said. ![]() The fourth soldier, indicted for assault, abuse under aggravated circumstances, threats and additional offenses, is still pending trial. The third soldier, convicted of exceeding authority and endangering life or health, was sentenced to 40 days in prison, a suspended prison sentence and a reduction of rank. The court sentenced the two soldiers convicted of abuse to 60 days of prison, a suspended sentence and a reduction of their ranks. The soldiers, whose identities were withheld, then “hid the details of the incident from their commanders in an attempt to prevent (military officials) from opening an investigation and coordinated their versions regarding the details of the incident,” the statement said. The indictments said the three soldiers, as well as a fourth, took the Palestinian man in a military jeep and drove to an unidentified “distant location." During the drive and afterward, “violence was used against the victim” and he was left in a remote location, the statement said. ![]() Military police investigators served up the indictment after the men were arrested last month. Two soldiers were convicted of abuse and a third was additionally convicted of exceeding his authority and endangering the man's life or health, the army said. TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - An Israeli military court has sentenced three soldiers to prison time for abusing a Palestinian and obstructing an investigation into the incident, the army said Wednesday, in a rare punishment against army forces. ![]() Keep the bed well watered until the young plants are established. Offsets should be planted 2-3 feet apart with the growing points just below the surface, whilst root segments should be buried about 2 inches deep. The comfrey bed should be well prepared by weeding thoroughly, and dressing with manure if available. Offsets can also be purchased by mail order from specialist nurseries in order to initially build up a stock of plants. When dividing comfrey plants take care not to spread root fragments around, or dispose of on the compost heap as each can re-root, and comfrey can be a very difficult plant to get rid of. ![]() When choosing plants to divide ensure that they are strong healthy specimens with no signs of rust or mildew. The original plant will quickly recover, and each piece can be replanted with the growing points just below the soil surface, and will quickly grow into new plants. This removes the crown which can then be split into pieces. The gardener can produce their own 'offsets' from mature, strongly growing plants by driving a spade horizontally through the leaf clumps about 3 inches below the soil surface. peregrinum)īocking 14 is sterile, and therefore will not set seed (one of its advantages over other cultivars as it will not spread out of control), thus is propagated from root cuttings. Symphytum x uplandicum, Russian Comfrey, Healing Herb, Blackwort, Bruisewort, Wallwort, Gum Plant.Symphytum grandiflorum, Creeping Comfrey (synonym: S.Symphytum caucasicum, Caucasian Comfrey.Symphytum asperum, Prickly Comfrey, Rough Comfrey (synonym: S.This strain was developed during the 1950s by Lawrence D Hills, the founder of the Henry Doubleday Research Association (the organic gardening organisation itself named after the Quaker pioneer who first introduced Russian Comfrey into Britain in the 1910s) following trials at Bocking, near Braintree, the original home of the organisation. Comfrey has long been recognised by both organic gardeners and herbalists for its great usefulness and versatility of particular interest is the "Bocking 14" cultivar of Russian Comfrey ( Symphytum x uplandicum). It is native to Europe, growing in damp, grassy places, and is widespread throughout the British Isles on river banks and ditches. Comfrey ( Symphytum officinale L.) is a perennial herb of the family Boraginaceae with a black, turnip-like root and large, hairy broad leaves that bears small bell-shaped white, cream, purple or pink flowers. ![]() This video will cover everything major that we know so far, broken into sections of gameplay mechanics, combat mechanics, and general concepts. We first covered Cube World in Saturday Heat Signature, where we explored the basics and discussed rumors. Hey everyone, this is Steve from ! Today we are talking about Cube World, an action-RPG, voxel-based game that is inspired by the likes of Zelda, Diablo, and fantasy MMORPGs. Below the transcript, you'll find some of our thoughts and concerns as they pertain to Cube World. I've included a transcript of the video below, which focuses on all of the major updates to the game. It's built around infinite everything - Wollay has stated that there is technically no vertical or horizontal limit to the game's expansion, noting that he has been in caves that are "200 cubes deep." Other Major Updates Take Zelda and mash it up with generic MMORPGs, Diablo, and Minecraft - you're left with the best elements from each, hopefully, all contributing to Cube World's creation. ![]() All of this helps ensure focus is kept on adventure and exploration. The same goes for character stats (dexterity, strength, et al.), which will be automatically incremented based upon class and subclass choices, but not individually customizable. Building is an example of this: We're given a few tools for basic structures, like prefab walls and elements, but won't have the freedom that is present in other, more building-focused games. Everything is customizable to a degree that it is satisfying, but confined within enough boundaries where each modifiable element doesn't take priority in gameplay. ![]() The objective in Cube World is pretty straight-forward: Explore, adventure, and have fun. Wollay hopes to include boats and ships for sea travel, which will unlock potential for numerous continents and islands, all waiting to be explored. A Brief Overview of the Game and its EngineĬube World is an infinitely-generating world with virtually limitless horizontal and vertical bounds caves go hundreds of cubes deep, mountains go equally high, and the land will perpetually generate as you continue to explore. We'll cover some of the frequently-asked Cube World questions herein, like possible races and classes, the world's generation, and city building and generation. Cube World's major advancements since the initial videos can be summed up in a few major sections: Persistent mechanical interactions, environments, and progressive mechanical interactions (character-driven, rather than ever-present elements). ![]() Working with Al-Hadeed Translation Services, we guarantee a professional Russian translation … without breaking bank.

Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world,” according to the proclamation. “Arbor Day was first observed with the planting of more than one million trees in Nebraska. Secretary of Agriculture under President Grover Cleveland. Morton was a Nebraska newspaper editor and served as the U.S. Ross Kasun joined Lawrence Township Public Schools as the Superintendent of Schools in 2018. Sterling Morton suggested to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day should be set aside for the planting of trees. The proclamation outlined the history of Arbor Day. Arbor Day was established as the last Friday in April by the State Legislature in 1949. Ryan issued a proclamation to declare April 28 as Arbor Day in Lawrence Township. Lawrence Boy Scout Troop 27 planted two rows of dawn redwood trees in the park about 12 years ago. ![]() Maidenhead Meadows Park is the site of a former plant nursery that was abandoned in the early 1980s. The park is located on Princeton Pike, across from Foxcroft Drive. In 2019, volunteers planted 12 dawn redwood trees along a segment of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail – a pedestrian and bicycle path – that bisects Maidenhead Meadow Park. Lawrence Township planted three small trees along the frontage of the Lawrence Township Municipal Complex on Route 206/Lawrenceville Road in honor of Arbor Day in 2020. The study located trees, planting sites and tree stumps within the municipal right-of-way and it will be used to help plan where to plant new trees. Last year, the Lawrence Township Council hired the Davey Resource Group to carry out a tree inventory in the southern part of the township. Lawrence Township earned the Arbor Day Foundation’s Growth Award for demonstrating environmental improvement and for an outstanding level of tree care, Nerwinski said. “It also keeps us focused on making Lawrence Township a beautiful place to live and work,” he said.Ī town earns Tree City USA certification by meeting four core standards of urban forestry management: maintaining a tree committee having a community tree ordinance spending at least $2 per person on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day. “Achieving recognition as a Tree City USA affirms our longstanding policy and commitment to preserving trees in our community,” Nerwinski said. |
