Over the next few years, electric vehicles from different automakers began popping up across the U.S. His six-passenger vehicle capable of a top speed of 14 miles per hour was little more than an electrified wagon, but it helped spark interest in electric vehicles. Here in the U.S., the first successful electric car made its debut around 1890 thanks to William Morrison, a chemist who lived in Des Moines, Iowa. And while Robert Anderson, a British inventor, developed the first crude electric carriage around this same time, it wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that French and English inventors built some of the first practical electric cars. In the early part of the century, innovators in Hungary, the Netherlands and the United States - including a blacksmith from Vermont - began toying with the concept of a battery-powered vehicle and created some of the first small-scale electric cars. Instead it was a series of breakthroughs - from the battery to the electric motor - in the 1800s that led to the first electric vehicle on the road. It’s hard to pinpoint the invention of the electric car to one inventor or country. Travel back in time with us as we explore the history of the electric car. With this growing interest in electric vehicles, we are taking a look at where this technology has been and where it’s going. Currently more than 3 percent of new vehicle sales, electric vehicles sales could to grow to nearly 7 percent - or 6.6 million per year - worldwide by 2020, according to a report by Navigant Research. Whether it’s a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or all-electric, the demand for electric drive vehicles will continue to climb as prices drop and consumers look for ways to save money at the pump. Introduced more than 100 years ago, electric cars are seeing a rise in popularity today for many of the same reasons they were first popular.

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved (quartered if large).can chunk light tuna packed in water, drained Prepare the Tuna and White Bean Salad over mixed greens, or make this tasty salad into sandwiches! Simply mash the beans and spread them inside 4 whole-grain pitas, then stuff in the remaining ingredients. They just need a minor preparation and some basic kitchen tools. In this part, I will share with you some easy meals that require no cooking at all. Normally, you want to keep the food thing as simple as it possibly could. When you on a kayaking trip you won’t bring your entire kitchen with you. In this post, I’ll break down into three main parts. You will most likely to make mistake and use the wrong stokes to paddle which can end up causing the injuries. That’s the dangerous moment for a kayaker. If you don’t get enough nutrition during the paddling session, you’ll start to feel sluggish and tired. You have to make sure you’ve got enough calories packed(Check out this article: How Much Food Should I Pack.) in your kayak to keep you stay energetic throughout the day. One of the concerns will be the food preparation. Even if you’re only planning on being out on the river for a day. There are a lot of things that you need to take into consideration when you plan on going kayaking camping for an extended period of time. The snack part, I just list some choice that pops into my head. About the camping food, I’ll divide into two section Non-cooking food ideas and Basic Cooking. In this post, I’ll share 8 kayak camping food recipes and 5 snacks idea. Being on the main Greenville Tech campus is an advantage over the other similar charter schools as there are college courses offered on the main campus that are not available on the other Greenville Tech satellite campuses, allowing for a larger variety of college credits to be easily earned. The great opportunity exists here to explore Greenville Technical College’s course offerings while in high school, and make progress toward (or complete!) an associate’s degree while still a high school student. The faculty seem to care about the success of each student. Parent: Greenville Technical Charter High School is a great school! It has small class sizes that allow faculty to get to know students well and help them when needed. Staff and Teachers care about students (sometimes a bit too much) personal and in class issues. I also wish the School would invest more in the prospect of having a library. I do wish the school cared and supported the Music and Arts more. This is especially true on dress code issues and interactions between genders. Administration is sometimes overly-strict and exaggerating at times. The social order of students isn't really a problem as a lot of student would be considered nerds or geeks in other schools. Even though the campus is still very diverse with student from America, Middle East, Europe, Central and South America, and India. The Middle/High School is Small with less than 300 students. I think the School provides a special environment for students. The School is public but managed like a private school. Senior: I have attended Green Charter School as a student since 7th grade. Overall has been a fantastic experience!. At least the surrounding city of Greenville is fantastic. The social scene still has all the traditional pitfalls of highschool, if not heightened due to the residential living situation, but that is unavoidable. The residence hall is small and dated, and the food provided by Aramark is notoriously bad, but there always seems to be vegan and kosher options available, even if they’re very simple. Academics are strong, but sometimes overwhelming, and administration and fellow staff has an alarming turn over rate, that being said, if you believe you are a capable student you can make it.ĭorms and food are so so. If you or your kid has a talent for the arts they will get some world class training from world class professors here. Not only is the schedule built like a college schedule, but the same rhetoric applies to class structure and community being built. Junior: I have never felt more prepared and excited for college than I do at this school. And they can't connect on those to Steam, it's just ridiculous. Guess what, people still make LAN parties. In the end of the day, you're just removing features from your game, features meant to be for your PAYING customers. This is the people you want to "convince" to buy it. But if the game is any good, PEOPLE WILL PIRATE THE GAME, and you can do jack with it.īut there's subset of the people, who pirate the games, these people want to try it without paying and then decide if they pay for it or not. And guess what? You can remove more features from your game, obfuscate it with VMprotect, sit on your head, I dunno. People will pirate your game, because they don't want to pay any money for it. People don't pirate your game because of LAN. The gist of this is to deny any gameplay experience to non official versions of this game, it already damaged a lot years ago and it still does today if we allow a vulnerability like this one it is used mainly by people using virtual LANs to connect, not real physical ones aka LAN parties, that allows steam-unlocked versions (pirated versions of the game) having multiplayer under this condition. Hello, by security issues we mean mainly piracy no matter you don't care to allow anyone to connect directly to your PC. Money is not the goal of this, just a means to an end Moreover, a trully dedicated hacker can make wonders. Now regarding piracy the point was pretty clear, it damages the title, this change won't prevent the game from being pirated anyways. The original LAN and IP code relies on sockets that requires a direct connection to a PC, you indeed need virtualization or opening ports as they are disabled because it compromises your PC security, you can't play on IP nowadays unless you open a security breach to play, as we don't have servers (yet) to prevent this from happening we have to remove this at the moment. Our safety is not compromised by the LAN option. Just state that you are doing it so that more players pay to buy the game and that's it. This is for security against the game being pirated. This is not a change for player security. We hope to deliver new and amazing stuff but without neglecting security, that will always come first and on top of anything else. We are very sorry if after all the things we've given we have to rollback some for your own safety and the title's one. You can gain much more popularity by improving the game and attracting people, than wasting time plotting against your loyal fans. Now we take features away for the false premise. Back in 00s developers knew that giving features to the user is important. So PLEASE guys consider putting more resources into bringing back the other languages as fast as possible.Originally posted by rusty_dragon:Yes, with same excuse.Īnd you can see how people like when LAN feature is being unfairly taken away from them. I mean all languages but especially the german localisation is so well done that its a decisive part of the nostalgia-feeling for the german community.Īnd many wont buy this game without german localisation cause they dont want to return without that important part of the old feeling.Īnd I want to point out that the community in germany is actually very big and probably by far the biggest compared to other non-english speaking countries. I know this has been already requested several times and the devs did respond already BUT I just wanted to push this topic again. Its good to know that you keep your promises and continue working on this masterpiece Another german localisation request (Hear me out!)First of all - a huge thanks to you guys for your efforts and congrats to your latest update. Later on, Protector falls off in value and we unlock the Lucky Hit: Chance to Slow roll on gloves that enables this aspect, so we swap the two. Cheat's: This adds lots of damage reduction and some speed when hit by crowd controlled enemies.This replaces Ravenous which has much better use in the earlier progression because a minimum roll Umbral is less impactful. The Umbral: With the amount of crowd controls in the build, this effect solves all resource issues once you have acquired a good roll and the full endgame setup.This is an optional choice to replace Ghostwalker. Ravager: This is an amazing mobility tool because you can freely use Shadow Step while keeping a backup charge in case you get crowd controled.Synergy: Grants lots of extra cooldown reduction to Poison Trap to smooth out the playstyle.Accelerating: Grants lots of extra Attack Speed for more damage output, healing and lucky hit effects.You can find several other important aspects for your build there: To target farm specific item slots, farm the PvP zones for Red Dust or outdoor Local Events for Obols to gamble them, or pick respective caches from the Tree of Whispers. While most of the build can be constructed from the Codex of Power, aspects attached to random loot can roll higher values and are preferable. * These affixes cannot appear on the same item together. Use it in large monster packs to pull them in, lock them down, and decimate them.ĩ. Death Trap is our Ultimate Skill and can be used frequently because we reset its cooldown with Exposure.We also use the Trap to trigger Vulnerable with Blast-Trapper on elites and bosses while enabling other synergies from passives, so use it regularly in combat. The best way to use this skill is right after a Shadow Step into the middle of the pack. It helps to keep incoming damage low while buffing our damage against affected targets. Poison Trap is our crowd control and utility skill. This is a great option for boss fights or when you are underleveled. Whenever you start a new run, when out of combat or before a boss fight, refresh your stacks if they're not maxed. Keep an eye on your stacks to understand when you can and can't play offensively. Generally you want to get hit as little as possible, but when you take multiple hits in a row you become more and more vulnerable to further attacks.
This quibble aside though, as a highly portable, seamlessly usable controller for casual DJs, the S2 is a great option at a keen price. Failing that, it feels like NI should fully commit the S2 to Traktor DJ byĪdding an expanded pro version for hardware owners. Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 specifications Below you will find the product specifications and the manual specifications of the Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2. Unfortunately, there’s not quite enough compatibility between these two versions right now – but the option to seamlessly sync libraries, metadata and cue points across both versions would resolve this. 2 give review Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S4 MK2 specifications, prices, product images and videos. While Traktor DJ can be used crossplatform, it seems pretty silly to use it on PC/Mac when a licence to the Pro software comes bundled. Traktor DJ works great with an iPad but it is a free app and, as you’d expect, lacks many of the advanced features of Traktor Pro 3. The main drawback to the S2, however, is that it’s currently caught between these two applications. Traktor DJ adds a track recommendation feature that will, again, appeal to beginners and casual users. Traktor DJ also boasts integration with SoundCloud Go+, meaning users can mix streamed tracks on the fly, which works pleasingly smoothly. One nice touch is the USB input for iOS devices, so you can connect an iPad via its standard cable, rather than requiring a specialised lead from NI.

The next major thing I can point out in the defense of the Dren character is how quickly she grew up. Perhaps the best reason she is not is because none of the things she did were really that much her fault.Īnything that happened with a sex change involving her wasn't her fault anymore than a person with a birth defect or born predisposed to a particular disease is responsible for that. After Elsa looks at the drawings Dren made of her is when the movie takes things one or more notches downward in many fan's opinions.īut on to the important point. Just take the ending with a grain of salt. About the only thing most people seen to be able to agree on is that they do not like the ending.įor anyone who never got around to seeing this movie, I will point out that this document by necessity contains some spoilers, so I recommend you bookmark this page, watch the movie and come back. If you websearch about the movie "Splice", you will find just about every opinion a person can have for a movie represented, both good and bad. So like with everything similar, I have made the decision to openly discuss this. When my obsession with the movie Splice (and the Dren character) came back recently, I'd have been a hypocrite to deny or hide this. Maybe not a must-see, but if you find this an interesting theme, then it might be well worth a look.First of all, I have never been one to lie or hide my feelings about anything important to me. And that's why I think it's an interesting film.Ī fascinating film, with a somewhat ludicrous final part. The reality may well be much stranger than the vision of the scriptwriter and director. But if it works, yes what the result will be no one who knows. So in that sense the film is not realistic enough. Of course, the result of this experimentation in this movie is very strange, but then again, we simply don't know what could happen in case you did such an 'experiment', even though it is generally believed that the result is very unlikely to be viable, and if it is viable it will have a very short lifespan, and it is generally believed that the further apart the DNA species being mixed are biologically, the harder this all gets. I find the fact, what happens when you mess with (human) DNA, and what medical-ethical and social questions and problems this raises, interesting, although (many) more films have been made about this theme. I've read the previous critiques of my predecessors here, but I still think it's a very nice film, despite the somewhat ludicrous final part in my opinion. Misschien geen must-see, maar als je dit een interessant thema vindt, dan kan het toch erg de moeite waard van het kijken zijn. boeiende film, met een wat potsierlijk slotdeel. En daarom vind ik het toch een interessante film. De werkelijkheid zou nog wel eens veel vreemder kunnen zijn dan de visie van de scriptschrijver en regisseur. Maar áls het lukt, ja wat het resultaat dan zal zijn niemand die het weet. Dus in die zin is de film niet voldoende realistisch. Natuurlijk, het resultaat van dit experimenteren in deze film is wel erg apart, maar aan de andere kant, we weten simpelweg niet wat er kan gebeuren in het geval dat je een dergelijk 'experiment' zou doen, al wordt algemeen aangenomen dat de kans zeer klein is dat het resultaat levensvatbaar is, en als het al levensvatbaar is, zal het een erg geringe levensduur hebben, en er wordt algemeen aangenomen, dat hoe verder de DNA soorten die gemixt worden biologisch uit elkaar liggen, hoe moeilijker dit allemaal wordt. Het gegeven, wat gebeurt er als je met (menselijk) DNA gaat klooien, en wat voor medisch-ethische en maatschappelijke vragen en problemen roept dit op, vind ik interessant, al zijn er (veel) meer films over dit thema gemaakt. Ik heb de eerdere kritieken van mijn voorgangers hier gelezen, maar ik vind het toch wel een hele aardige film, ondanks het ook in mijn ogen wat potsierlijke slotdeel. |
