![]() ![]() The first recipe we use will use a 3 part base and you could make that recipe using a 5 gallon bucket or a wheelbarrow as long as each part was equal. So if the recipe is a 3 part mix, that means each part will be 1/3 rd of the total. We often discuss making a recipe in “parts” instead of exact volumes because this allows you to scale the recipe up. In the next step I’ll give you the fundamental basic math to understand the recipe in different volumes and how to design your own mix based on how much soil you will require. Once you have that understanding you can easily make a mix from scratch from components that you have available locally or regionally depending on your budget. If you are brand new, start to learn why each ingredient is added to a mix. ![]() This mentality usually wears off after a few runs but it's important not to start that mind set all over again in organics. Usually looking for the ultimate grow product that will finally allow them to purchase a good grow. One of the many things that growers do when using bottled nutrients, is change nutrient brands all the time. It's challenging as a new grower to actually decide on a recipe and then stick to it. Some claiming their soil is the best, others indicating that you should use spikes of nutrients and layers of different soil. Many different recipes from many different growers. There is so much talk online in the organic forums about creating an ideal soil. Well, where do you start? There are so many recipes out there!!! So, let’s say you have decided to make your own soil from scratch and are willing to do whatever it takes to make the best. Thankfully there are a number of decent potting soils on the market but none will compare to making your own from scratch. Think like a big company for a minute and compare bagged soil to our food industry but with less regulation, then you can see how bad the situation truly is. ![]() Then as a soil company gets larger they have to buy in large scale and start looking to the most affordable sources for ingredients such as, City Waste, Bio-Solids, Poultry Waste, Cattle Waste. This allows companies to list ingredients that sound incredible but then fail to back them up with actual quantities used. Besides that, you can list your most expensive and attractive ingredient First on the label even if that ingredient happens to be in the lowest concentration in the soil. There is little regulation in the industry and the only approval for a Label is if you are citing NPK numbers or fertilizer claims. All that changes is the label and exact ingredients used. There are so many soil products on the market and most manufacturers are getting all the same ingredients from the same sources and getting them bagged all at the same facilities. When you are done reading this you will have all the tools to build your own potting soil from scratch and you’ll have the confidence to know it’s going to work as planned. Watch the video below or Read on further for detailed instructions. Have you ever thought about how a bagged soil company settles on a recipe? What about where they get the ingredients from? Can you trust the soil companies? How do you make your own soil? And Have The Best Grow Of Your Life! ![]()

![]() Setting up the board to be artificially imbalanced in favour of one or two resources can make the game feel very strange indeed, but it can be interesting to play a session in which the elements on the board are not balanced. The board could be set up so that different resources are kept apart and one or two resources clumped together in order to make competition for those hexes particularly fierce. While setting up a random board is a way to keep things fresh from play to play, the board could also be set up to present particular challenges. Often the best way to play is to keep the standard rules and instead to alter the layout of the board in some way. When choosing a new way to set up the game, players need to decide how much of the original game they wish to retain. There are thousands of different ideas for setting up Catan, many of which do away with the frame pieces and alter the rules in some way. In the original setup, the different resources are laid out in a way that ensures that they are not grouped together, and the number tokens are spread around so that the most frequent dice rolls are distributed evenly. The original setup for settlers of Catan is pictured on the back of the rules and is designed to provide a balanced experience. This makes the games progress much more smoothly. In the advanced variant, a player can trade and build in any order, even mixing them up if they prefer.Ī play could trade, build something, then trade again to build something else. ![]() You Can Trade And Build In Any Order Once You Are Happy With The Basic Rules Many players learn these rules and then miss that there is also an advanced variant mentioned in the rules. The normal way to play Catan is for a player to roll for resources, then to trade with the other players or with the harbours or bank, and then to build. Once the resources and numbers are in place, shuffle the harbour tiles face down and place them in the usual spots at random. If, at the end of placement, you cannot avoid having two red tokens next to each other, then simply swap the last-placed red token with a random black token that is itself not next to a red token, which will then provide a legal setup. You could have a guideline that you could never have three hexes of the same type adjacent to each other, or simply place them as they come out.Īfter the resource hexes are in place, follow the same procedure with the number tokens, but immediately replace any red token if it would be adjacent to another red token. To set up the advanced Catan board, first, assemble the frame pieces, and then shuffle the resource hexes and lay them out in whichever order you like. The harbours are also laid out randomly in the advanced Catan setup, meaning that every map presents a new set of problems in terms of supply and trading. The numbers most likely to be rolled are in red, making it easy to see which ones should not be adjacent to each other. In the advanced setup the resource hexes are laid out at random, and the number tokens are then distributed across the board, also at random, but ensuring that the dice rolls with the highest probability of appearing are not next to each other. ![]() The basic setup, therefore, ensures that all players are able to play on an equal footing, assuming that they have the same level of knowledge of the game.Īn introductory game of Catan will use the original map as pictured on the back of the rules, but the advanced setup incorporates random elements which ensure that each game presents a different challenge. This map is designed to ensure that the distribution of resources is balanced and that no starting position is advantaged significantly over another. However, there is more than enough variability and play in the base box to keep most people happy for a very long time.įor your first games of Catan, you should use the standard map as indicated on the back of the rules booklet. The number of possibilities within the base box is likely more than any player will ever need, but the possibility of an expansion or a variant is always something that should be considered after a while. Any game of Catan will present unique challenges for its players, and most people will begin with the suggested setup and possibly play it a few times, but what should you do when you are tired of this version of the game?Ĭatan comes with instructions for setting up random maps, and there are also helpful sites online to create new layouts for you. ![]() ![]() Versions of Internet Explorer for other operating systems have also been produced, including an Xbox 360 version called Internet Explorer for Xbox and for platforms Microsoft no longer supports: Internet Explorer for Mac and Internet Explorer for UNIX ( Solaris and HP-UX), and an embedded OEM version called Pocket Internet Explorer, later rebranded Internet Explorer Mobile, made for Windows CE, Windows Phone, and, previously, based on Internet Explorer 7, for Windows Phone 7. ![]() Microsoft Edge, IE's successor, first overtook Internet Explorer in terms of market share in November 2019. On traditional PCs, the only platform on which it has ever had a significant share, it is ranked 7th at 0.62%, after 360 Safe Browser. Estimates for Internet Explorer's market share in 2023 are about 0.25% across all platforms, or, by StatCounter's numbers, ranked 10th after 360 Safe Browser.

This came after Microsoft used bundling to win the first browser war against Netscape, which was the dominant browser in the 1990s. Internet Explorer was once the most widely used web browser, attaining a peak of 95% usage share by 2003. New feature development for the browser was discontinued in 2016 in favor of its successor, Microsoft Edge. Microsoft spent over US$100 million per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s, with over 1,000 people involved in the project by 1999.

Investigating Trojan Asteroids at the L4/L5 Sun-Earth Lagrange Points I will bring to life the early period, circa 1998 to 2000, and share the reasons that we thought the Lagrange-point perspective on Earth would be scientifically revolutionary. As one of the original co-investigators on the Triana mission, I witnessed that scientific excitement firsthand. Yet a small band of scientists in 1998 got very excited about the possibilities offered by the Lagrange-point perspective on our planet. The scientific excitement surrounding the NASA Lagrange point mission Triana, now called DSCOVR, tended to be forgotten in the brouhaha over other aspects of the mission. ![]() What Did We Think Could Be Learned About Earth From Lagrange Point Observations? They integrate the Lagrange equation by using the stroboscopic method, and apply it to the main problem of the artificial satellite theory. The authors are developing a new Poisson Series Processor, PSPC, and they use it to solve the Lagrange equation of the orbital motion. The new techniques of algebraic manipulation, especially the Poisson Series Processor, permit the analytical integration of the more and more complex problems of celestial mechanics. Integración automatizada de las ecuaciones de Lagrange en el movimiento orbital. Crossings of the regions by the trajectory are described, and the requirements for detecting the presence of 1 km sized asteroids are presented and shown to be attainable. The regions in which stable orbits associated with the earth and with Venus may lie are estimated to be a thin and tadpole-shaped area extending from 35 deg to 100 deg from the planet. The type of trajectory suggested lies in the ecliptic plane and has a period of 5/6 years and a perihelion at the Venus orbital distance. The possibility is suggested of investigating the existence of small, as-yet undiscovered, asteroids orbiting in the solar system near the earth-sun or Venus-sun stable Lagrange points by means of a spacecraft which traverses these regions. While the model is not yet a quantitative fit of the velocity distribution, the new picture naturally predicts that the Hercules stream is more prominent inward from the Sun and nearly absent only a few 100 pc outward of the Sun, and plausibly explains that Hercules is prominent in old and metal-rich stars.Ī suggested trajectory for a Venus-sun, earth-sun Lagrange points mission, Vela In the model, the Hercules stream is made of stars orbiting the Lagrange points of the bar which move outward from the bar’s corotation radius to visit the SNd. ![]() Cross-matching this model with the Gaia DR1 TGAS data combined with RAVE and LAMOST radial velocities, we find that the model naturally predicts a bimodality in the U-V-velocity distribution for nearby stars which is in good agreement with the Hercules stream. The model matches the 3D density of the red clump giant stars (RCGs) in the bulge and bar as well as stellar kinematics in the inner Galaxy, with a pattern speed of 39 km s-1 kpc-1. We have adapted a made-to-measure dynamical model tailored for the Milky Way to investigate the kinematics of the solar neighborhood (SNd). We propose a novel explanation for the Hercules stream consistent with recent measurements of the extent and pattern speed of the Galactic bar.

Helicopter Review : Bell 407 XP11 (Pro) by Dreamfoil Creations It is always debatable on what is the best simulation in X-Plane in any category as there is never a clear absolute winner and so it is with helicopters as the field is by other standards small, is very and highly competitive. But without doubt and certainly with all the accolades it has received since it was released three years ago in 2014, then Dreamfoil Creation's amazing Bell 407 is certainly at the very top. With this release the aircraft has been updated to X-Plane11 and is known as the XP11 in the version name, so this is an update on the older version, but also a new release in the fact that is a lot of changes and new features. So that means a new version does require a repurchase for the X-Plane11 version at a 5c increase to US$35.00, but previous X-Plane10 owners can upgrade to this new XP11 version for only $15. The coupon code for the discount can be found in the original Bell 407 invoice at the X-Plane.Orgstore.įirst you will make the note that in the title above I noted (Pro). This is not an official title as I added it in myself. The reason behind that title is that Dreamfoil has taken away in this XP11 version the "rigid cruise" and "arcade mode" functions, or easy flight aids that helped entry and trainee or the just plain helpless helicopter wannabe pilots in the exchange of a new autopilot feature. This omission does now make the Bell 407 quite perfect in its flight dynamics, but the aircraft also does now require a lot more skill in doing so, the "Pro's" out there will revel in the aircraft, but unfortunately the lower classes will find it harder to fly without any crutches to help you fly around the delicate flight balance. The Dreamfoil Bell 407 was excellent before, but with its new X-Plane11 PBR shiny coat and lighting features, the 407 looks simply outstanding in any light. The PBR lighting highlights the bodywork more and the detailing, glass is also more highly reflective and looks superb on the 407. Internally the PBR really helps as well, making the interior even more plush and dynamic and now has interior normal maps for higher quality.Īny developer that crafted high quality external and internal textures really benefit from X-Plane11 PBR features as Dreamfoil does here, the cabin environment was excellent before, but in XP11 the 407's cabin is now simply mindblowing. With this update you now have two versions as well, one with the original brown leather and now the new black leather on the "Black Goldy" and "Lighting Blue" liveries. Of course any smart user could adjust the other liveries to their interior choice in the object files. Realism in the cockpit in X-Plane11 is awe inspiring, even better in the air.Īll the great features on the original 407 are also all still here. GPU (Ground Power Unit), Fuel Tank and fuel loading, battery access, and four opening doors with baggage compartment, What is new is that the actions on opening up the doors, getting inside the aircraft and other external items have been refined so all the actions can be done externally and with not having to open the menu each time, the menu is available externally as well if you want it by pressing certain areas on the aircraft (a circle). The two door choices with the full (side) and standard glass has now a third option in a smaller frame window, the glass opens as well. Low skid, High skid, baskets, Cineflex camera, sling hook, floats, cable cutter, frahm damper are all still here. There is a great new feature in the aircraft ground moving electric cart. This movable cart is controlled via your joystick. Press the circle on the nose of the cart to raise the aircraft, then control the speed and direction via your joystick. ![]() ![]() Thus, if you have an HEDT platform, which requires a discrete GPU just to even run at all, then you cannot have hardware H.264 encoder acceleration at all.

If new hardware is needed, I find it helpful to benchmark what will be accelerated and by how much before investing in it. (It's a non-simultaneous use license, so if you're running Premiere on one machine, you're not supposed to run it on the other machine at the same time.)

Since you've indicated that you're using CC 2014, I've pasted the supported cards for that version. If you'd like to take advantage of the optional Adobe-certifed GPU-accelerated performance in Premiere Pro, you'll need to see if your computer supports installing one of the AMD or NVIDIA video adapters listed below (this is copied from Premiere Pro System Requirements for Mac OS and Windows if you'd like to view all the full system requirements). ![]() ![]() ![]() IBS is not an inflammatory disorder like Crohn’s, Celiac disease, and ulcerative colitis.
