All of this set up was based on following a tutorial online by Stock Tank Pools. I started with a simple 8’-0” stock tank (from Tractor Supply) and drilled a few holes in it to set that up with an above ground pool pump (by Intex). But, as winter approached, I rigged the tank up with a lid and propane fired tankless water heater (see image 07 in gallery above) and have been using it as a hot tub! I’m very happy with how the project turned out and have enjoyed the process along the way.Īn aside - big shout out to my best good buddy Zachary Coco for his help on the next few steps: digging the pad for the tank’s final location and building the deck. So you’ll just sit back and relax and wait for the water to heat.Initially the idea was only for a cool spot to beat the heat during the rough Louisiana summers. If you heater is connected to electricity safely, it will automatically turn on when your pump flow water through it. Turn your pump on to make sure there aren’t any leaks and everything is flowing smoothly. If you have the 1000 GPH pump, you will connect the hose to the extra piece from step 3 and then attach the heater to the plunger valve and the extra piece now attached to the hose. If you have a 1500 or 2500 GPH pump, you will completely remove the hose and replace it with the new heater section. Disconnect the hose from the lower outlet plunger valve. Turn your plunger valves to the locked position. Once everything has cured for the correct times, it’s time to attach the heater section to the pool pump. The PVC pieces will fit right into the pieces attached to the pump. Attach your PVC to the heater with PVC cement. It’s a tight fit, but I used Marine weld again to secure them to each other. I then fit the Type B Adapter into the Swimline adapter. This took some finagling but some wire cutters did the job best. I then took Type B Hose Adapter and cut off the lip on the smaller end. I took a Swimline Adapter, cut off the section with the threads with a mitre saw, then sanded the edges. ( Skip this step for 1500 or 2500 GPH pumps.) Create the extra piece for the pump hose to connect to. I followed the instructions and then put the material on the outside of the adapter and the inside of the PVC pipe and let the pieces cure. I ended up using JB Weld Marine Weld on that side. I originally used sealant on to seal these two pieces, but the water pressure was too high on one side. Attach the Type A Hose Adapters to the PVC. I used a mitre saw and my pieces are 10” each. Type B Hose Adapter (comes in a set, but only need 1) I will note how to alter for the 1500 GPH Pump or 2500 GPH Pump. Please note that these are instructions for using the 1000 GPH pump. Okay, so you probably want to know how I connected this part to our pump, and I will do my best to explain. This one is a great option as it heats more water faster than other ones and it is specifically made for being outdoors! If you don’t want to deal with electric (besides your pump, of course) you can always opt for a gas tankless water heater. You definitely don’t want to have to heat your water from something like 52 degrees every time you want to use it. This means that this stock tank koozie/jacket situation actually works and is crucial for being able to keep your hot tub water warm. We turned our heater off one evening and the water was at 102 degrees. We plan on making an insulated cover, but for now we are draping a tarp over it and it’s working just fine! However, you definitely need to do something if you actually want to use your stock tank as a hot tub. You don’t have to go this route- there are many ways that you could insulate your stock tank pool. To do that we used reflectix, a very thick wool rug pad, and flannel fabric. We decided we needed to make a koozie or jacket of sorts for our stock tank. It’s going to let that heat out almost as fast as it comes in. Let me tell you, the metal on a stock tank pool is not going to keep the heat inside your pool.

They will never make another record this big. Pearl Jam has had tons of success in the two decades since it came out, but every time they play the opening notes of "Black" or "Alive," the arena goes absolutely insane. It's been said about a billion times, but it did really make bands like Motley Crue and Poison seems like jokes, and Ten has sold over 10 million copies. The band loved what they heard and they brought him into the fold.Īlong with Nirvana's Nevermind (released one month afterwards), Ten ushered in the grunge revolution. They sent Eddie Vedder an instrumental rendition of the song, and while surfing one day, he sketched out a song inspired by actual events from his painful childhood. The band even created a demo for "Alive" before they all met face-to-face. Most of these songs were literally written within weeks of the band coming together. Many of the band's most beloved songs, from "Jeremy" to "Even Flow" to "Alive" and "Black," are from this disc. Ten blew everything else out of the water by a mile. (If you know of a band/artist that's not on this list, let us know, if you think there's one on here that doesn't belong - keep it to yourself).Unsurprisingly, this wasn't even a close poll.

Unlike the male protagonist or Megami Tensei protagonists in general, she is very bubbly, funny, upbeat and cheerful. She is a silent protagonist, as is the case with most Megami Tensei protagonists, although she does technically speak in battle (such as when she uses an item or summons a persona). It was an image contrasting the cool male protagonist against the bright and lively female protagonist, the player named P3 protagonist is meant to be the player's alter ego. Soejima drew this especially to pin facial expressions and atmosphere of the female protagonist. Soejima somehow came up with the design, he felt she was a protagonist people would come to love. It wasn't a problem limited to girls or boys, but with a protagonist, especially a juvenile protagonist, there will be a growth to adulthood and their personalities can not yet be solidified, the characterization of the heroine and the other characters will be different. It was very difficult to distinguish differences between a heroine and a female protagonist. Soejima had never drawn a female protagonist in his works. When Shigenori Soejima was asked to create a female protagonist, he thought it would be easy to draw her. When she was a young girl, she had short auburn hair down to her face, wore a red elementary school uniform, a red ribbon, dark red skirt, white socks and gray shoes. It is also said by Yukari that her ears are not pierced. She is never seen without her earphones except in several events where such accessories would not be appropriate, such as the following: the beach excursion in Yakushima (where she wears a pink ribbon bikini) the Summer Festival (if the player chooses to wear a yukata) the brief school trip in Kyoto (in which she wears a bathrobe) and the post-New Years celebration in the nearby Shrine (in which she wears an orange kimono and replaces the usual barrettes in her hair with pink and red flower barrettes). During the days off in the summer, she wears a short-sleeved orange shirt over a red-and-white striped spaghetti strap top, a white skirt and white sandals. In the summer, at Gekkoukan, she wears a white collared shirt, a red ribbon tie, her red MP3 player and the school skirt. On weekends and days off, she wears a red scarf, a light orange sweater, a red plaid skirt, black leggings and red boots (along with her earphones). Her favorite colors seem to be red and orange, as most of her outfits compose of the same color scheme.Īt school and at Tartarus, she wears Gekkoukan High School's winter uniform, which consists of a Gekkoukan high badge, a red ribbon tie, a neck strap MP3 player (same as the male protagonist but in the color red) and loafers. She has a pale complexion and striking red eyes (and longer lashes than the other characters, like Aigis). She is seemingly shorter than the default male protagonist. Since she's the polar opposite of the male protagonist, it would make sense for the male protagonist to be Fool 0 while the female is Fool 22. Kotone has auburn hair, which she always has in a high ponytail, along with silver barrettes which form the Roman numeral XXII (22), possibly referencing that the Fool Arcana is not only Arcana 0, but also Arcana 22 with the numbers increasing while going back to the first card after The World (Arcana 21). Her main weapon is a naginata that inflicts slash attacks. Her Persona Orpheus is gold, while his is a pale silver, her eyes are red, while his are blue, et cetera. Kotone Shiomi is the polar opposite of her male counterpart. Automatic model recognition instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models. The Traxxas® TQi™ arrives with a full complement of tuning features and offers the unbeatable convenience of "no channels, no crystals" 2.4GHz technology-but that's just the beginning. It all adds up to 50,000 rpm of pure power and track-searing speed! The Velineon 380 is built to the same no-compromise specs as the Velineon 3500 found in Traxxas' 70+mph 1/10 scale VXL models. When drivers' ed is through, full power and 50+mph is unleashed with a touch of the EZ-Set® button. Patented Training Mode™ lets new drivers hone their skills at 50% throttle. No other RTR truck, regardless of scale, makes it so easy and affordable to experience this level of high speed and wheelie-popping power.įully LiPo compatible with low-voltage detection for 2S and 3S packs and rated for 6-12 NiMH cells, this potent, powerful combo gives E-Revo VXL precise throttle control and blistering top speed. Install a second 6-cell battery to unleash the Velineon Brushless Power System's full fury, and E-Revo VXL jumps to over 50mph-all with proven-safe NiMH packs. In fact, you may not even realize how much TSM is helping you until you turn it off and test your driving skills without it!Īt 30+mph with the included 6-cell NiMH battery, E-Revo VXL is nearly twice as fast as most mini models, and faster than most electric RTR trucks of any scale. The result is that you are driving faster, with more ease, and having more fun,with that fully connected feeling at the controls that you expect. TSM can be fine tuned (or turned off) for different surfaces by simply adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas link app. TSM acts as your on-board co-pilot in the vehicle that “feels” what the vehicle is doing and makes corrections for vehicle movements that you cannot even detect, well before the vehicle gets out of control. Braking is dramatically improved as TSM works to keep you arrow straight until you come to a complete stop. TSM also works during cornering, first making intuitive corrections to maintain your line, and then allowing you to hammer the throttle earlier in the turn for much faster exit speeds. Punch it off the line and TSM goes to work sensing the vehicle’s direction and making steering corrections to provide straight-ahead full-throttle acceleration without fishtailing, spinouts, and loss of control. Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) allows you to experience all the extreme power, speed, and acceleration that was engineered into the 1/16 E-Revo VXL by making it much easier to control on slippery surfaces such as loose dirt, smooth concrete, and even ice and snow. If this is not your preference, Traxxas offers an adapter allowing you to charge from a standard home AC electrical socket ( TRA2976). Note: The included charger requires a cigarette lighter socket found in full size vehicles to charge. In 1/16 scale, it is an even more impressive achievement of packaging and performance optimization that could only come from Traxxas, The Fastest Name In Radio Control ®. Intricately molded as a single piece, the monocoque chassis balances strength and weight to far surpass the standards of the "mini" category. This superior technology provides capability, performance, and tuning functions at the absolute pinnacle of truck design. The Revo's rocker-actuated suspension has been expertly adapted to 1/16 scale with all its functionality and performance intact, right down to the oil-filled, threaded-body GTR shocks. The E-Revo VXL is built on the race-winning, track-proven innovation of the Revo and E-Revo models.

With SQL Server on Ubuntu Pro, SQL Server makes use of the XFS filesystem, a journaling filesystem popular on Linux, that offers Direct I/O capabilities, meaning: blazing fast. Right now you can get SQL Server 2019 – Standard and Enterprise editions – on both Ubuntu Pro 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu Pro 20.04 LTS, and they come with some solid security and management features as you’d expect – like Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and Row-Level Security. And Microsoft has continued to work together with us at Canonical to bring a highly performant and fully supported solution for SQL Server to the Azure cloud, based around the Ubuntu Pro 20.04 LTS operating system. With the release of SQL Server 2017, Microsoft introduced the features needed to enable SQL Server to run on Linux, closing this long-standing shortcoming and enabling the SQL Server team to fully address the needs of enterprise IT departments with more flexible deployment options. This strategy of coupling SQL Server to Windows meant SQL Server could gain agility by rapidly building on and relying on Windows NT system services, behaviours and features, without having to worry about portability – but it came at the cost of being unable to fully address the market. But with SQL Server 7, Microsoft also got a storage engine deeply tied to, and reliant on, the Windows subsystem. With SQL Server 7, Microsoft got the seminal milestone release that defined Microsoft SQL Server as a serious contender in the enterprise RDBMS space. Hamilton led SQL Server through releases 7 to SQL Server 2005. In 1998, widely acclaimed engineer James Hamilton (yep, that’s right, the Amazon AWS Vice President) took over management and leadership of the Microsoft SQL Server product development team, and was able to bring his expertise to bear. If you increment each letter in VMS, you get WNT, but jokes aside it is genuinely no coincidence that the W32 kernel architecture and the VMS kernel architecture are closely aligned Microsoft Windows is in fact the descendant of an honorable and pedigree lineage of mainframe and midrange computer operating systems going back to the early 1960s.Įarly versions of SQL Server were able to hold their own, belting out solid performance on x86 PC systems costing a fraction of the price of a comparable minicomputer of that era, and as such SQL Server managed to make quite some traction with devotees of the (then de-facto) client-server compute architecture. The design team behind Windows NT were heavily influenced by Digital Equipment Corporation’s (DEC) VMS operating system, and Win32 is now widely accepted to be built around VMS architecture and design principles. So in IT terms, SQL Server has a very long heritage. But once Windows NT shipped in 1993, SQL Server was further developed exclusively by Microsoft. She belongs to meĪshton-Tate/Microsoft SQL Server was originally conceived and delivered for OS/2, not Windows, as a joint collaboration between Microsoft, Ashton-Tate (developer of dBASE) and Sybase (Sybase DataServer) in the late 1980s. I’m going to take you on a short tour of the history of SQL Server, and I’ll try to explain what makes SQL Server on Ubuntu Pro something quite awesome. So now Microsoft, in collaboration with Canonical, are distributing and supporting several flavours of SQL Server on Ubuntu Pro for Azure. For a long time, SQL Server was only available for Windows, but not much is really sacred. Not going to lie, the Microsoft SQL Server is my all-time favourite Microsoft product. This is followed by an underscore and the actual name of the skin. Next, there are three letters which identify the skin tone as either light (lgt), medium (med), or dark (drk). For body skins (but not heads), the next three letters identify the body type. Technically, child skins could be identified as "uc" (unisex child), but this was rarely done in practice. Gender is identified with "f" (female) or "m" (male), while age is identified with "a" (adult) or "c" (child). The next two letters identify gender and age, respectively. Maxis always used numbers, but creators could, and often did, use letters. The next three characters are an identifier for the mesh. Formal, Swimwear, Winterwear and High Fashion skins are identified by their initial letters, though players should note that hand files also begin with "H". Pajamas are identified with "L" (for Lingerie). Everyday skins are identified with "B" (for Body). Heads are identified with "C" (for Cranium). The first letter identifies the type of skin. In The Sims, all information about a skin file is carried in its filename. Likewise, buyable pajamas, swimwear, etc., for children with custom body types must be labeled as being for the "chd" body type. Therefore, buyable pajamas, swimwear, etc., for adult Sims with custom body types must be labeled as being for the "fit" body type, or those Sims will not be able to access it. However, if Hot Date or later is installed, clothing racks will see adult Sims with custom body types as "fit". Custom body types are possible, and they can have their own three-letter identifiers. The basic body types are "fit", "fat", "skn" (skinny), and "chd" (child). (a censor blur appears on top of a naked Sim). There are also nude skins for when a Sim is using a toilet, using the Vibrate interaction on another Sim or is taking a bath or shower. Skins are available for different modes of dressing: Everyday, Pajamas, Swimwear and Formal. Some creators made "pale" versions of the light skin tone and made them available for use by others. True custom skin tones aren't possible, but variations of the basic skin tones are, as long as they're named so that the game engine "sees" them as light, medium, or dark tones. However, if a Sim appears to be wearing accessories such as glasses, it is usually because they are painted onto the Sim's head or body skin. Some skins have accessories such as hats and glasses, which have separate BMP and mesh files. For example, a skin might have white hands so a Sim using it will appear to be wearing white gloves. A Sim's hands normally match the Sim's skin tone, though it is possible for a skin to have custom hands. Originally, the default formal outfits used formal hands, but these hands were not used after Hot Date. However, a Sim's hands are separate hands are not part of body skins, but are defined separately in the Sim's character file. Each image file is that Sim's entire body or head, including skin (there are 3 skin tones - light, medium and dark - and it is common for the same outfit to be made in all 3 tones) and hair. Both are simple 256 color (8-bit) bitmap images, numbered to correspond with the mesh file which gives them the desired shape on the Sim. Skins in The Sims are comprised of two parts per Sim: a head and a body.
Germany joined the other powers in colonial expansion in Africa and the Pacific.īy 1900, Germany was the dominant power on the European continent and its rapidly expanding industry had surpassed Britain's while provoking it in a naval arms race. The new Reichstag, an elected parliament, had only a limited role in the imperial government. The unification of Germany was achieved under the leadership of the Chancellor Otto von Bismarck with the formation of the German Empire in 1871. German universities became world-class centers for science and humanities, while music and art flourished. Prussia, with its capital Berlin, grew in power. The German revolutions of 1848–1849 failed but the Industrial Revolution modernized the German economy, leading to rapid urban growth and the emergence of the socialist movement. Napoleon established the Confederation of the Rhine as a German puppet state, but after the French defeat, the German Confederation was established under Austrian presidency. With the Napoleonic Wars, feudalism fell away and the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved in 1806. The estates of the empire attained great autonomy in the Peace of Westphalia, the most important being Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony. the Thirty Years' War, a civil war from 1618 to 1648 brought tremendous destruction to the Holy Roman Empire. Martin Luther led the Protestant Reformation within the Catholic Church after 1517, as the northern and eastern states became Protestant, while most of the southern and western states remained Catholic. In the Late Middle Ages, the regional dukes, princes, and bishops gained power at the expense of the emperors. In the Investiture Controversy, the German Emperors resisted Catholic Church authority. The growth of a crusading element within German Christendom led to the State of the Teutonic Order along the Baltic coast in what would later become Prussia. In 962, Otto I became the first Holy Roman Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the medieval German state.ĭuring the High Middle Ages, the Hanseatic League dominated by German port cities established itself along the Baltic and North Seas. When the Frankish Empire was divided among Charles the Great's heirs in 843, the eastern part became East Francia. Following the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Franks conquered the other West Germanic tribes. The victory of the Germanic tribes in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest ( AD 9) prevented annexation by the Roman Empire, although the Roman provinces of Germania Superior and Germania Inferior were established along the Rhine. The concept of Germany as a distinct region in Central Europe can be traced to Julius Caesar, who referred to the unconquered area east of the Rhine as Germania, thus distinguishing it from Gaul. It’s a number of perfect ratios that appears frequently in nature. The golden ratio isn’t just a number with a strong mathematical background, just look at seashells. Just try placing the horizon along either of the two horizontal lines, and your image will naturally appeal to the viewer.īy Jahobr - Own Work, CC0 The golden ratio in nature That's why golden ratio patterns make more sense than the spiral. In landscape photography composition, you very often work with natural lines such as the horizon. This alignment brings the object of interest closer to the center than the rule of thirds. The same is true for the right and left vertical lines. The top and bottom horizontal rows are the same width, while the middle ones are narrower. The arrangement of the lines is slightly different from that of the grid of thirds. The idea is to place objects of interest near or at the intersections of any of the lines. The end result is a grid formed by nine rectangle sections of equal size (lines are arranged strictly vertically and horizontally). With the rule of thirds, we divide the frame setting into two horizontal lines that intersect with two vertical lines. It is a step up from using the rule of thirds, which will visually add more energy and meaning to your images. This is the easiest way to use the golden ratio in photography. Just from this simple sketch you can already recognize one of the most appealing shapes of the 1.618 golden ratio in nature. There’s a lot of math related to it, and you can have fun trying to see what mathematical implications it has.īy dividing an area into rectangles according to the golden ratio images and adding a curve in each rectangle or triangle, you can get a better idea of the golden ratio and its relation to the Fibonacci series, called the golden spiral. And the higher the numbers, the closer the approximation. If you take any two successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, you’ll see that their ratio is mathematically close to the golden ratio. The golden ratio - also called the golden number, golden section, and golden mean - appears in the Fibonacci sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13). The easiest way to understand its visual impact is to divide a line into two segments (or two parts), a and b, according to the following proportion in math: (a+b)/a= a/b=1.618. How to calculate the golden ratio? The golden ratio can be defined as a decimal number or by geometrical construction, using the Fibonacci series, or using trigonometry and geometry limits. Like Pi, its value can’t be computed precisely, but it’s approximately equal to 1.61803398874989484820. It was first used in 447 BC by the Greek sculptor Phidias in the sculptures he made for the Parthenon, hence its name. The name is slightly misleading, as the golden ratio is an irrational number symbolized by the Greek letter Phi and has nothing approximately to do with gold. How to Calculate the Golden Ratio?įew people know exactly what it is. However, the origin of this pleasing composition rule is mathematical. It is the compositional principle of arranging the elements in a work in such a way that the end result is aesthetically pleasing to the viewer. You may have heard of the Golden Ratio in art or architecture. So, what is the golden ratio? Here’s everything you need to know about it and how you can use it in the visual arts.The golden ratio: the theory. It even applies to music, as the analysis of works by Debussy, Béla Bartók, and Erik Satie shows. The Parthenon, Notre Dame, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the UN Secretariat Building are just a few examples.Įxtensive use of the golden ratio in art has made golden ratio appealing for modern artistic fields like photography and design. Salvador Dali used the golden ratio to compose “The Sacrament of the Last Supper.” It has been used for centuries in architecture too. No wonder it was called “the Divine Proportion” during the Renaissance.Īmong the famous artists who used it are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Sandro Botticelli. People seem to appreciate it so much that beauty standards and artworks are based on it. The golden ratio is a mysterious proportion considered the secret behind many works of art. |
