I know I came by your shop a week or two ago, and it was super cool to see your shelf of kind of the evolution of the Flux Workholding vise line. The machine vises were really a solution to the problem of how to make a whole bunch of small parts really quickly as a one man shop. But we didn't just start making machine vises. And today the product line that we just launched is Flux Workholding, which is our line of quick change machine vises. And over time that escalated ended up taking over the business. But as time went on, I started developing my own products and selling them online. But as time went on, I continued doing consulting, which is basically just being a freelance engineer. Definitely learned a lot from each of those industries. I was working in the UAV industry, designing drones, and then I also did quite a bit of consulting work in the semiconductor industry, doing motion control systems, some really, really high precision in a vacuum at cryogenic temperature nanometre type tolerances. I actually started my business doing engineering consulting originally. I'm in just the right spot, I think, but I can explain a little bit more later why I think that is, but I have a degree in aerospace engineering and I'm a self-taught machinist. I actually think the line between those two things is kind of blurring as time goes on. So my background is actually in engineering originally, I'd say I'm 50% engineer and 50% machinist. How did you get into manufacturing? Because you've got kind of an interesting path into machining and manufacturing and I think it's a really cool story. So yeah, pull those up if you want to check his stuff out and if you haven't before and, let's jump into it. Yeah, definitely guys pull that up and you're on Instagram as well, right? It's and (00:56):Īwesome. Also, which has our line of tactical belts and, which is our line of high-end dog leashes. That's probably most relevant to everybody listening right now. So for those who don't follow you on social media or any, or haven't seen your products, where can they find you online? So they can pull this stuff up and follow alongį is the main place because that's our line of machine vises. And this week I'm joined by Michael Sargent, of Sargent Research, Gear Fur, Carbon Tactics, and now Flux Workholding. I’m your host, Dylan Jackson from Proteum Machining. Price of Black Quicky Buckle with Belt: $60 at Carbon Tacticsįor these and other Carbon Tactics buckles, please visit the Carbon Tactics website, where you can order the buckles.Welcome back to within tolerance podcast, a podcast for machinists by machinists. Price of the Black Quicky Buckle: $29 at Carbon Tactics Made in the USA from Aerospace Grade Aluminum, Black Anodized. The Carbon Tactics Quicky buckle has magnetic closing and is extremely strong and very easy and fast to fasten and release, hence the name Quicky. It also seems that the production company added a Carbon Fibre effect on the round magnet part of the buckle. In the photo only the top part of the buckle can be seen. They can be seen on one promotional photo of Nomi in her outfit (see photo on the left), but in other photos, the buckles and straps can not be seen, so it might be part of something that she loses during the mission. Her buckles on the Commando outfit are the Carbon Tactics Quicky magnetic buckles in black with a black belt. One of the other confirmed products is the Carbon Tactics Quicky buckle, which is part of Nomi's commando outfit. Note that Bond's belt used in the film is not from Carbon Tactics. Price Black Epoch Buckle and Belt: $95 at Carbon TacticsĬlosing Sale: 30% OFF with code HOLIDAYS2022 The Bond 25 production company purchased several buckle styles from Carbon Tactics, so there might be more products in the film. The Epoch buckle started as a Kickstarter campaign in 2018 and is marketed as a quick release belt. The buckle is created by Michael Sargent, and completely made in the USA. The Carbon Tactics Epoch buckle is CNC machined from black anodized aerospace aluminum (extremely strong) with choice of three different latch colours: Black, Silver, and Dark Earth - the latch in the film also seems to be Black. James Bond has a holster on his right thigh that is strapped on with black and grey nylon straps with black Carbon Tactics Epoch buckles. In No Time To Die (2020), the Commando outfits of James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Nomi (Lashana Lynch) are equipped with Carbon Tactics Epoch and Quicky buckles.

When he hears that his fierce, beautiful twin sister Savannah, a well-known New York poet, has once again attempted suicide, he escapes his present emasculation by flying north to meet Savannah's comely psychiatrist, Susan Lowenstein. Tom Wingo is an unemployed South Carolinian football coach whose internist wife is having an affair with a pompous cardiac man. Half a century ago, Ralph Ellison was excited by the prodigious talent on display in this collection, and it can still galvanize contemporary readers.Ī flabby, fervid melodrama of a high-strung Southern family from Conroy ( The Great Santini, The Lords of Discipline), whose penchant for overwriting once again obscures a genuine talent. The collection remains an exemplar of humane, tough-minded grace while anticipating much of the trenchant, boundary-breaching fiction by young African-American writers emerging so far this century. “Of Cabbages and Kings” evokes some of the darkly comedic paranoia of the 1960s while “An Act of Prostitution” puts the edgier comedy of the legal system up front. McPherson’s keen ear is perhaps most evident in “A Solo Song: For Doc,” which uses the irascible first-person voice of a 60-something Pullman waiter to recount the life of a similarly testy co-worker whose supreme competence and fierce dedication couldn’t protect him from bigotry or arbitrary dismissal. With similar incisiveness and sensitivity, the title novella dissects the vagaries of interracial romance. “Gold Coast”-which was later included in The Best American Short Stories of the Century, edited by John Updike-manages to compress whole contradictions of personality, ethnicity, and class into the seemingly discursive but poignant reminiscences of a young black janitor’s apprenticeship to his building’s embittered and elderly Irish superintendent. Upon reading this new edition, it somehow isn’t enough to say that the stories “hold up well.” Their blend of grittiness and sophistication, compassion and common sense, measured observation and melancholy humor can still profoundly move and illuminate. Nine years earlier, the Savannah-born McPherson, who held degrees from both Harvard Law School and the University of Iowa (whose storied Writers Workshop he later directed), published this, his first and only other short-fiction collection. McPherson (1943-2016) was the first African-American to win a Pulitzer Prize in fiction, which he received for his 1977 collection of short stories, Elbow Room. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.Short stories reach across decades of racial upheaval and social transformation to reaffirm what remains human and vulnerable in all of us. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. 2 Blackstone upheld the myth that the common law was handed down from time immemorial: a judge (or commentator) could never be declared to have ‘defined’ some part of it at best he could be said to describe or discover it. When William Blackstone described the offense of murder, he did not draw upon a positive statute, but upon a description given by Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief Justice during the reign of James VI/I. The common law specified certain broad categories of offenses, such as murder and larceny. 1 English legal expectations were shaped by the common law, an uncodified tradition refined over the centuries by the interpretation of the judges. Passed in 1723, the ‘Black Act’ originally outlawed poaching in disguise or in ‘blacked’ face, but judicial interpretations soon divorced its various provisions from their original context, leading to a list of fifty or more crimes punishable by death. Sometimes a single act generated a number of crimes, as in the case of the Waltham Black Act. The great majority of these crimes related to the taking or damaging of property. The very structure and assumptions of English criminal law seemed to encourage the proliferation of capital statutes in the eighteenth century. Traditionally, researchers have explored false memories by presenting test subjects with a list of associated words (for instance, “weep,” “sorrow” and “wet”) thematically related to a word not on the list (in this case, “cry”) and then asking them what words they remember. Scientists may simply have been using the wrong test. Now a new study finds that children are just as susceptible to false memories as adults, if not more so. Yet a large body of research indicates that adults actually generate more false memories than children. Conventional wisdom holds that they frequently “remember” things that never happened. "People should create detailed images with unique characteristics to help avoid the endorsement of false memories on recognition-based tests like true/false or multiple-choice assessments, where you are tempted by lures and possible false memories.Children are notoriously unreliable witnesses. "Our study suggests more detailed imagery instructions are necessary to help filter out false memories during a recognition test, where false memories are typically very high," Oliver said. The brain develops strong memory traces for activation of related concepts and doesn't easily forget this type of information. In this study, imagery helped stop this spreading activation.Īlthough imagery decreased false memories during immediate recall, the simple imagery procedures in this study were not sufficient to lessen false memories for conceptually related lists during the delayed recognition test. When a person activates related words in his or her brain, this activation spreads to other related items and leads to memory errors. When asked to study confusing sound-related lists (for example, doll, bail, balk, wall, fall, bald, pall, bill), the word ball is a common false memory. "These lists usually remind people of a word that they didn't actually study, so they mistakenly recollect studying words similar to those on the list."įor example, after studying a list of conceptually related words (for example, candy, sugar, chocolate, heart, taste, tooth, honey, cake), many people falsely remember the word sweet. "We aren't good at judging the source of our memories," Oliver said. Then they completed a recognition test, in which they saw some of the words from the previous lists as well as some previously unseen words, and had to indicate which words they studied. The participants were divided into two groups, with one group receiving instructions to imagine each word visually and the other group receiving instructions to remember the words.Īfter the recall tests, participants completed a word search for seven minutes to clear their mind. Half the lists were related by meaning and half by sound. In the study, 102 undergraduate students at Georgia State were shown 10 word lists, one at a time, on a projector and asked to recall the words immediately after each list. student in the educational psychology program in the College of Education & Human Development at Georgia State. "Creating images improved participants' memories and helped them commit fewer errors, regardless of what kind of list we gave them," said Merrin Oliver, lead author of the study and a Ph.D. The findings are published in The Journal of General Psychology. False memories occur when a person recalls something that didn't happen or remembers something inaccurately. People who were instructed to create images of the list words in their head were able to recall more words than people who didn't create images, and they didn't recall false memories as often. Their study examined how creating images affected the ability to accurately recall conceptually related word lists as well as rhyming word lists.

Therefore making him a Sayyid.ĭynasty Fatimid and House Fatimid is really small. Your ruler, Caliph al-Mustansir ibn az-Zahir of the Fatimid Sultanate is the direct descendant of the prophet Mohammad. That alone makes this start really fun and challenging. Fatimidįatimid Sultanate is the holder of Jerusalem in 1066 and the main target of the crusades. However, this start is really promising if you play your cards right.

In 1066, Duchess Matilda of Tuscany rules fairly large part of the Italy. Also becoming the new HRE emperor should be much more easier after that. After that, you can expand into anywhere you want. Because you will be their rightful liege once you found the kingdom of Bavaria. After that your Liege will gave you the Nordgau, Salzburg, Austria, Steyermark, Carinthia, and Pula for free. Once you did that you can form kingdom of Bavaria. Your main purpose should be expanding your Duchy with 6 more Bavarian counties. On this 1066 you start as Duke Otto II of Bavaria, House Nordheim, and Dynasty von Nordheim. Bavariaīavaria is actually one of the strongest vassal inside the Holy Roman Empire. Therefore making it much more interesting. Also Bohemia is a voter in the Holy Roman Empire. Meaning the oldest member of the house will inherit all of the titles during succession.

"The guy that played the candy store owner was very good." But then he wondered why Canadian actors needed to be used at all, and blamed Canadian film regulations. "I don't know if I said that, but if there are good actors, I didn't see a lot of them up there." A few minutes after that, he conceded that there were "some very good actors" among the Canadian cast members in Open Range. "They're there, but I didn't find them." Then he amended these comments. Duvall hedged when asked whether he was accurately quoted six months ago as saying he didn't think Canadians make good actors. "It wasn't my calling but the producer brought all the actors up from the United States because he couldn't find actors (in Canada)." He cited the film, John Q, which he and Denzel Washington shot in Toronto a couple of years ago. Duvall suggested the reason Hollywood has to import so many American actors for its Canadian-based productions is the lack of capable actors in Canada. In a series of rambling and sometimes contradictory comments, Mr. because "there are better actors" south of the border. He also made it clear that he was not backing off his controversial assertion in Washington six months ago that he prefers filming in the U.S. "I would rather work in my own country," he told CanWest News Service. He also reiterated his dislike of filming in Canada. The 72-year-old Oscar winner made his comments a few days before the release of his new western, Open Range, which was filmed in Southern Alberta. He also says there's a lot of hostility in Canada toward Americans. He still figures the good ones are in short supply. Kevin Costner, left, and Robert Duvall portray ranchers in the new movie Open Range, which was filmed in Southern Alberta.īEVERLY HILLS, California - Hollywood veteran Robert Duvall hasn't changed his opinion of Canadian actors.

This game could have gotten an excellent, but the controls issue made that impossible. Both Journeys are well worth the trip - and back! No bugs or patches were necessary as the game played smoothly with Win XP, and if you go looking for a copy of the original Longest Journey I highly suggest you get the update version that is now (finally) compatible with Win XP. It took approximately 6 years for the producers to release Dreamfall after The Longest Journey ended.Īll in all a really terrific game with some of the best scenery imaginable in a PC game, along with colorful and interesting characters - most especially our heroine Zoe - nice outfits and rather skimpy in some scenes - earning the game a M Mature 17+ rating. The saved items interface is quite easy to access and use, as is the save game feature with plenty of slots for saving your game which comes in very handy.Īs with most adventure games this one leaves you hanging a bit at the end with some loose ends and relationships unresolved, but there is the promise of more to come in the future - whenever that may be. But no need for writing down a lot of notes as the game takes care of that for you. The downside of Dreamfall is that while the first 6 chapters moved along at a challenging yet interesting pace, the final 7 chapters moved along quite briskly without many difficult challenges but with a lot of dialogue. While I didn't find a game pad necessary for The Longest Journey, I did find it quite helpful in Dreamfall. Although one action sequence can be conquered with a standard keyboard, I found it a bit easier using a game pad. For those who have already played The Longest Journey you will meet up with some "old friends" once again in Dreamfall - April Ryan, Brian Westhouse, Crow, and others enhancing the enjoyability of this game.įor gamers who enjoy action and timed sequences you will find several excellent challenges in Dreamfall - most notably in Chapters 5 and 6. Brilliant locations scenery, excellent visual effects, some of the best graphics of the game characters ever seen - this game is a should-do for anyone enjoying a traditional adventure romp.Īlthough it is not necessary, I would recommend you get a copy of The Longest Journey and play that one first if you have not already done so. The entire adventure spans an estimated 20 to 30 hours of play, with multiple visits encouraged to seek out alternate endings, hidden areas, and more.ĭreamfall - The long anticipated sequel to The Longest Journey - has perhaps the most spectacular graphics and soundtrack of any modern day adventure game. Each character has a field of vision that automatically highlights objects that can be manipulated. The interface is also different from typical games in the genre, as the screen is largely unobstructed by icons, menus, or text. Interpersonal dialogue can be courteous, rude, menacing, or flirtatious, depending on the situation and characters involved. Players are expected to interact with each world in multiple ways, whether it's through combat, stealth, or communication. Dreamfall departs from traditional adventure games in the degree of freedom afforded by the game design. Players will explore a futuristic version of Earth, a fantasy realm, and even the mysterious world of dreams while interacting with a wide variety of characters and solving puzzles from a third-person perspective. The original game's April Ryan and new character Kian are also playable through multiple chapters, each offering distinct abilities and viewpoints in their respective worlds. Yet young Zoë is not the storyline's only protagonist. The sequel to 2000's critically acclaimed adventure game, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall initially follows the story of Zoë Castillo as she stumbles across a conspiracy that could spell the end of humanity. This is because you will not need to install the Android operating system and set it up. The Android system will be new and fresh but the installation takes a shorter time. You just need to run this on your virtual machine and you will have an Android system in a short while. This is an image of a disk (sort of like a backup). On the other hand, the Android image that is also known as vdi file for VirtualBox and vmdk for VMware. To install Android Oreo on your virtual machine using its ISO file, you need to install it on the Virtual Machine and you will get a fresh and clean Android OS. It is like a neat package of all the individual files needed to install the operating system. In an Android ISO file, all the files required to install the OS are placed in one ISO file that is neat. You can use either and get good results but they are not the same thing.Īn ISO file or image is a single file that contains contents of an entire CD or DVD. These are the Android 9.0 ISO and the Android 9.0 virtual disk image. When you want to install Android 9.0 Pie on any virtualization software, you have two options. You will be successful by the time you are done. No matter what choice it is that you make, read on and find out how to proceed. Both Virtualbox and VMware are the best free virtual machine software. Which one should you use? You can use any but it all depends on what you need in your VM. They make it possible for one to run a virtual machine powered by an operating system that is different from the host OS. They are available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac. Both of these free virtual machine software run on the x86 platforms. On the other hand, VirtualBox is made by Oracle and is available as an open-source and free solution. The free version is known as the VMware Workstation Player which is available for personal use. VMware virtual machine software is available as VMware Fusion for Mac and VMware Workstation for Windows which are the paid versions. What is the best free virtual machine software? They are different and it is these differences that determine which one you should use for your virtualization needs. VMware and Virtualbox are the very best free virtualization software. They will be able to easily create virtual machines with different RAM, ROM, and other specs so as to determine how the app will work on different Android phones. Developers will appreciate the fact that they can create different Android device-like virtual machines so they can test apps on devices of different specifications. Users get access to every feature of Android just like it works on a phone. Their free versions are feature-laden while their paid versions make the impossible possible. There are many of them but only two have the very best features. Doing this should actually be the first step before any Android user upgrades their Operating System.Īn Android virtual machine can be created using various virtualization software solutions available. You can find out by running it on a virtual machine. Perhaps you are just curious what the Oreo has to offer. You can use virtualization software to create an Android device-like environment on which you can try out the application. You will need an emulator to test the apps you develop. It could be that you are a developer and have decided to venture into Android apps. There are many reasons why you would want to have the latest Android 8.1 Oreo on your computer. You can do so using virtualization software. This is not to mean that you cannot enjoy having an Android environment on your computer. It has proven to dominate the smartphone market but is yet to get its way into the world of PCs. Android is one of the most common operating systems out there. |
