![]() ![]() ![]() The desk is intended for children two and up, making a lot more sense after getting the product because it is designed for children at least two. I will show you what the additional plates look like and what they say in the video. Here is a little blurb about the product: It has five (5) activity pages to explore filled with engaging content to extend a fun four hours. Since we have a boy, we went with the regular color, but you can go with the pink color if you want something feminine. The regular color includes yellows and blues, while the pink comes in purple and pink tones. Let’s start with the specs-the VTech activity desk has regular and pink colors. Interested in purchasing items you saw in the video? Click here to buy the desk. This post is about the VTech activity desk. To see my other product reviews, click here. Remember that my son is two years old, so if you have a toddler around two about to be to a little over 2, you’re at the right place. Like with all of my product reviews, I will be going over all of the standard specs, so you know what you are getting yourself into and if this is something that you should get for your toddler. We’ve been eyeing this desk for a very long time, and we are just so excited we were able to get this for him for Christmas. We want to make sure that the toys he’s getting have an entertainment component and a learning component. My husband and I wanted to be more intentional about the toys we are buying him.

The main reason is that it’s hard to access the parts. Most inboard motors can give a bit of a hard time when servicing them. But between the inboard and outboard motors, which should you choose regarding service? Remember, this option also applies to the engineers. You’ll have an easier time when you have a machine that won’t be tough to maintain. Also, the engine will last longer if you maintain it well. This period will depend on the number of motors you have. ![]() But technology has made the machines even last for 8000 to 1000 cruising hours. Some years back, outboard motors didn’t last for a long time. But they can even last for many years if you look after them well. It can be because most people use these machines for long-distance cruising and even watersports. Inboard motors tend to last for around 6000 hours as you move. So, which one of the two motors can last longer? When buying any machine, the issue of longevity is very vital. Things will be fine, but the machine will, later on, have issues. Yes, it’s possible to increase the fuel capacity of this boat. So, that’s why you’ll get them on small speed boats or the ones people use for fun. When the tank is full, this machine can allow you to cruise lesser miles than when you’d use an inboard motor. ![]() These motors use more fuel to make your boat move faster on the waters. Once the fuel tank is complete, you can move for over 300 miles. You’ll have more time to cruise around the waters. But today, thanks to technology, the issue is long gone. Though, in the past, these engines used to consume more fuel. Though inboards aren’t as fast as the outboard motors, they’ll use lesser fuel. So, let’s see how these motors differ from this feature. You might use REC 90 fuel for speed or the normal ethanol-blended one. Remember, the type of fuel can affect how much your motor uses. But still, it’s good to know how much your machine needs to move. Sometimes, when the budget isn’t a problem for you, fuel consumption won’t be a problem. This move prevents the ship from dragging in the water. Expect it to trim the motor as it takes the hull from the water. You can place much horsepower on your boat with this machine. When you have outdoor motors like Yamaha 425, Seven Marine 627, or Mercury 450R, be ready to move faster on water. So, most firms now make outboard machines that make you enjoy the speeds. As technology grows, outboard motors also become better. Today, one of the reasons people get outboard motors is that it moves boats fast. Remember, it won’t be best if you want your small boat to move fast. This aspect means that the motor needs more energy to get speed. Also, the horsepower of these machines doesn’t allow you to move to higher speeds, unlike the outboard devices.īesides the power, these machines need much thrust to move your boat. Expect them to drag your boat in the water. Yes, the inboard motors will move your boat fast but not like when you use an outboard machine. Both of them are fast, but here is the difference in the speeds of these machines. If you love to see boats moving fast, this might be the point you choose between the two motors. So, keep reading as we look at aspects like speed, how the motors draft, fuel costs, servicing, and the prices. Inboard vs outboard – The difference in the Specsīesides knowing what these motors look like, some features will help you pick between the two. You can also remove them from sitting in the waters at the dock. It’s because the machine is easy to handle. Many fishing, fun, or small business boat owners love to use the outboard motors. So, together, these three areas push the boat forward. Lastly, there is the lower section that’s close to the propeller. This middle area is firm because of 4 to 6 nuts. Its upper part has the powerhead, and the middle area connects it to the lower part. It also comes with a handle grip to steer and tilt the ship.ĭifferent from the inboard motors, the motor is in three parts. You can easily reach it from the rear mounting point. With this motor, you’ll see that the whole machine is on the outer part of the boat’s transom. But here, you’ll need the big size inboards which you can’t place on the rear hull. People use them on fishing boats to provide a lower balance as they move.Īlso, larger boats and ships can use inboard motors. You can see an inboard motor when you look at the rudder that steers the boat or ship. ![]() ![]() These two parts work together to ensure your boat moves. Also, the other one is the drive shaft found on the propeller. One is the powerhead that looks like a car’s engine.

![]() The addition of the resistor-capacitor "Zobel" termination network completely eliminates the anomalies. His testing of "DIY Cross Connected Coax Cable", which is exactly what my cables are, found a huge phase anomaly at 10 Mhz and other cable reflections at 100 MHz. I then used the Belden speaker cables described above for the tweeters, and my old 12 AWG Monster Cable for the woofers.Īfter reading Rod Elliot's article on cable impedance I decided to add a 100 nF ceramic capacitor in series with a 50 ohm resistor across each speaker terminal to properly terminate the cable and dampen the high frequency phase anomalies caused by cable reflections. I modified the AR.com's crossovers so that the woofer and tweeter circuits were independent, and did not share grounds, and hooked each circuit up to its own set of speaker input terminals. Thus, the more delicate tweeter signal is separated in its own cable and is not damaged as it would be if the woofer and tweeter signal were traveling in the same cable. The theory behind bi-wiring is that by branching off from the amplifier and using separate cables for the runs to the woofer and tweeter circuits in the speaker crossovers, the inductance and capacitance that is generated by the relatively higher currents in the woofer signal do not affect the lower-powered tweeter signal. Because I built my new AR.com speakers with two sets of speaker terminals so I could experiment with bi-amping (which didn't work out so well), I decided to try bi-wiring instead. For connectors, I used Radio Shack gold-plated banana plugs.Īfter living with the above setup for a year or so, I decided to make a change. The wires are crossed in such a way that the conductor of one and the shield of the other carries the (+) signal, and the shield of the first and the conductor of the other carries the (-) signal. The speaker cables use two pieces of coaxial cable for each lead. ![]() At least, I use the Belden cable for the tweeters anyway see the "Bi-Wiring" section, below. Now I use speaker cables made from the Belden coaxial cable discussed above in the "Interconnects" section. Also, it generates high levels of capacitance from all those wires that is not good for the amplifier. Then, I tried braiding CAT5 network wire (described, among many other places, here), and that may have sounded better (hard to tell), but the braided wire is bulky, ugly, and unwieldy. ![]() That seemed to make an improvement, especially in the bass. My first experiment with improving my speaker cables, many years ago, was to buy 12 AWG "Monster Cable" (still "zip" wire, just very expensive zip wire). The Radio Shack plugs are the cheapest gold-plated plugs I could find (about $3.00 each). I don't think the gold makes any difference in the sound, but they won't corrode over time, and I think corroded connections can make a difference in the sound. I followed Jon Risch's detailed instructions for building the interconnects and speaker cables (also here).įor the interconnect connectors I used Radio Shack gold-plated RCA plugs. The cable is coaxial, low capacitance, has both a foil and a braided shield, has Teflon insulation, and a Kevlar jacket (see the specifications at the bottom of the page). As it turns out, this kind of cable is ideal for making very high-quality interconnects and speaker cables. I was fortunate to have come into the possession of a small amount of leftover Belden plenum network cable that was used to set up a network in an office where I worked years ago. God forbid they should short-out and blow the amplifier. It sounded a little brighter than the cheap-o cables, but the wires were very delicate and difficult to manage in the rat's nest behind the equipment. I didn't know any better.įor interconnects, I tried braiding thin (30 AWG) magnet wire (described, for example, here). I used to use standard 18 AWG "zip" wire for speaker connections, and the thin cheap-o interconnects that come with commercial low- to mid-fi equipment. I have experimented with various kinds of speaker cables and interconnects over the years. Each socket on the string has its own clip, and we hooked them to clotheslines to form an overhead grid pattern. They’re effortless to install using the attached gutter clips. With a 2,700K warm white color, these romantic string lights set the backyard aglow. The string light includes 100 G40 incandescent bulbs and four replacement bulbs in case of any accidents. With 23 lumens of output and 5 watts of energy use per bulb, these lights made even the darkest hour of the night seem lively. ![]() This light-string strand is waterproof, energy-saving, and dimmer compatible. The long strand suits an elegant, vintage aesthetic with rounded Edison glass bulbs and a 100-foot length. We created a warm and inviting ambience in the backyard with these outdoor string lights from Brightown. From highly weather-resistant lights to vintage-style Edison bulbs to mystical fairy lights, this list includes a range of options to illuminate almost any outdoor space. We didn’t pull any punches, so rest assured, the string lights in this lineup are durable and up to the challenge of lighting up many types of outdoor spaces. We tested a wide variety of string light sets, and the following models all met our high expectations in a range of categories. We noted the length of the cord, the number of bulb sockets, and how easy it was to hang them on a structure. Then, we tested them again after they dried. For the ones advertised as being waterproof, we left them out in a rainstorm or (for those under the umbrella and covered patio) sprayed them with water. ![]() If the string lights were billed as shatterproof, we dropped them on a concrete patio from head height to see if they would crack. We scored them on both their brightness and illumination. After dark, we attempted to read or perform other activities-such as grilling-with just the illumination from the lights. We used a testing rubric that followed strict guidelines, including hanging the lights (some models) and leaving them in place for several days. We wanted to put these outdoor string lights through their paces to ensure their quality before readers purchase them. Photo: Glenda Taylor How We Tested the Best Outdoor String Lights

Arguably, two advances are largely responsible for this perception: the discovery of dynamical instabilities in extended black-hole horizons and the discovery of black-hole solutions with horizons of nonspherical topology that are not fully characterized by their conserved charges. There is a growing awareness that the physics of higher-dimensional black holes can be markedly different, and much richer, than in four dimensions. At the very least, this study will lead to a deeper understanding of classical black holes and of what spacetime can do at its most extreme. One would like to know which of these are peculiar to four-dimensions, and which hold more generally. ![]() ![]() For instance, four-dimensional black holes are known to have a number of remarkable features, such as uniqueness, spherical topology, dynamical stability, and to satisfy a set of simple laws - the laws of black hole mechanics. Just as the study of quantum field theories, with a field content very different than any conceivable extension of the Standard Model, has been a very useful endeavor, throwing light on general features of quantum fields, we believe that endowing general relativity with a tunable parameter - namely the spacetime dimensionality d - should also lead to valuable insights into the nature of the theory, in particular into its most basic objects: black holes. These, however, refer to applications of the subject - important though they are - but we believe that higher-dimensional gravity is also of intrinsic interest. Nature Astronomy, 10 februari 2022.As mathematical objects, black-hole spacetimes are among the most important Lorentzian Ricci-flat manifolds in any dimension.

If you use a usb mouse or keyboard, usbhid will be loaded already and you just have to load the joydev module. You need to get USB working, and then modprobe your gamepad driver, which is usbhid, as well as joydev. The gameport module should load automatically, as this is a dependency of the other modules. You can load the module at boot, or simply modprobe it. You need to load a module for your gameport ( ns558, emu10k1-gp, cs461x, etc.), a module for your joystick ( analog, sidewinder, adi, etc.), and finally the kernel joystick device driver ( joydev).

SDL2 supports only the new evdev interface. While SDL1 defaults to evdev interface you can force it to use the old Joystick API by setting the environment variable SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0.
