12/30/2023 0 Comments Tannery hides draw![]() There is a type of knife that is very thin and flexes to conform to the curve of the beam, but I have never had a chance to examine, let alone use one. Tools as narrow as 1 inch can be fine too depending on material and use. A full width knife however is fine as well, but if I designed one from scratch it would probably be under 3 inches wide.Īnother favorite tool I have was forged out of a wagon leaf spring and is about 3/16 inch thick and 1.5” wide, which makes for a durable, versatile tool of a good weight. ![]() More relevant though, is that the concave curve, which is the main working edge, has been worn back closer to the handles, making it more stable to use when pushing very hard. My two favorite tools currently are a shortened traditional cupped knife that is worn down quite a lot to about 2.5 inches wide. Though still very usable, extremely wide tools can be less stable when it is required to push very hard as is sometimes necessary when graining (frizzing) un-limed buckskins or fleshing very difficult skins. Width: A versatile knife for the home tanner would probably be anywhere from 1.5 to 3 inches wide. Newer ones are often sharpened on the back as well and many are fairly flexible compared to older ones I’ve seen. This type is good for home tanners with a surprising number of models and brands available new. Other tools are narrower and usually thicker, sometimes with only one working edge. The option is to let go of the tool with one or both hands to readjust the skin on the beam as each area is worked over, which is much slower. You can do this maneuver on small skins without cutting teeth in the back of the tool, and I do, but on large heavy hides, I can see why they would make this modification. I have also read of tanners filing teeth into the back of the knife so it can be used to pull skins up the beam to reposition them for scraping without using the hands. The back edge is sometimes kept very sharp and can be used for tough spots, gaining access under tough membranes, or as a sharp slicing knife for trimming the skin during fleshing. These traditional, wide, dished knives are very nice to use, though if I were designing one from scratch for home tanners who are doing many different types of skins and tasks, I would probably make it considerably narrower than they usually are and no wider than 3 inches. Professional tanners who worked hides day in and day out would probably be able to get away with doing things that the rest of us can’t, such as using sharper tools at lower angles. The concavity also means that the tool can be used flat on the hide without rubbing on it, which I suspect might be part of the impetus for the design, although I have rarely used them that way. ![]() The concavity of the underside seems to offer some geometric advantage in scraping. The compound curves of the cup and the arc combine to strengthen the tool, allowing it to be fairly thin, and yet still very rigid. The classic European style of tanning knife that is most common is wide, curved and dished. Styles: Nearly all traditional styles seem to be curved. It is not just the working edge though, but also the space between the handles, which allows for comfortable work. ![]() I would not recommend working edges much smaller than about 10 inches, and then only out of necessity. Wider beams require wider knives and/or the edge of the tool may need to protrude out in front the handles. With such a length, the tanner can comfortably do all manner of work from very large hides, down to fur skins. A working edge up to 12 inches and down to 10” with 4.5 inch handles is also fine. I think the ideal length for home tanners working a variety of skins on narrower beams is about 20” long in total with 11” working edge and 4.5” handles. The strong, experienced men using these tools, combined with the large area of contact formed between the gently curved edge of the tool and the wide beam, would make for very efficient and quick work. These long knives were often used on very wide beams with shallow curves. 16 inches is a typical working edge length. Samples I have range from 3 to 3-3/8 inch wide. Length: The typical professional tanners knife of the European style is quite long and not really best suited to the home tanner. You can always upgrade later if you want to. The amateur tanner can get by with tools that are much less than ideal, so there is no need to overthink the problem too much, or find the perfect tool just to get started. Keep in mind that most new models are designed by and for fur trappers, most of whom do not do a lot of general tanning work. The focus here will be on the home tanner working on beams about 8 to 12 inches wide.

If a pile becomes empty, a card from the deck on the left-hand side can be placed in the empty slot. A King can be placed on top of an Ace, and an Ace can be placed on top of a King. If a card is moved, the card underneath it becomes available for play. The cards in the row of seven can also be moved around. For example, if the top card of a pile is a six, a five or a seven can be placed on top of it. Cards can only be moved if they are one rank higher or lower than the card on top of the pile they are being moved to. ![]() Players can move cards around the board by clicking on them with the mouse. The first card in the deck is turned over, and the game begins. The remaining cards are placed face down on the left-hand side of the screen. To start the game, the cards are shuffled, and seven cards are dealt face up in a row. The game is won when all four rows are completed. The four rows are built from left to right, starting with the Ace, and ending with the King. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards.

The system has since built most of the proposed rail lines, as well as stations in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and North Springs, which were not included in the original plan. Ĭonstruction began on MARTA's heavy rail system in 1975, with the first rail service commencing on June 30, 1979. Also in 1971, the agency agreed to purchase the existing, bus-only Atlanta Transit Company the sale of the company closed on February 17, 1972, giving the agency control over all public transit in the immediate Atlanta area. In November 2014, however, Clayton County voters passed a 1% sales tax to join the MARTA system, reversing its 1971 decision. Gwinnett County remains outside of the MARTA system. In the same year, four of the five metropolitan area counties (Clayton, DeKalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett) and the City of Atlanta passed a referendum authorizing participation in the system, but the referendum failed in Cobb.Īlthough a 1968 referendum to actually fund MARTA failed, in 1971, voters in Fulton and DeKalb counties successfully passed a 1% sales tax increase to pay for MARTA operations, while Clayton and Gwinnett counties overwhelmingly rejected the tax in the referendum. MARTA was formed by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1965. ![]() These were the five original counties in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and to this day are the five largest counties in the region and state. ![]() MARTA was originally proposed as a rapid transit agency for DeKalb, Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties.

The 5-mile line will run from downtown Atlanta, through Summerhill, and end at the Atlanta BeltLine. MARTA's first bus rapid transit (BRT) line is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in Summer 2025. ![]() In 2022, the entire system (bus and subway lines) had 57,089,900 rides, or about 203,800 per weekday in the third quarter of 2023. ![]() MARTA also operates Mobility, a separate paratransit service for disabled customers. MARTA operates almost exclusively in Fulton, Clayton, and DeKalb counties, although they maintain bus service to two destinations in neighboring Cobb County ( Six Flags Over Georgia and the Cumberland Transfer Center next to the Cumberland Mall), while Doraville station serves portions of Gwinnett County via Gwinnett Transit buses. MARTA's rapid transit system is the eighth-largest rapid transit system in the United States by ridership. Formed in 1971 as strictly a bus system, MARTA operates a network of bus routes linked to a rapid transit system consisting of 48 miles (77 km) of rail track with 38 Subway stations.

It was used by Captain America when he foiled a terrorist attack on the museum itself after the loss of his usual shield it was then given to him in gratitude. A third triangular shield is kept in the Smithsonian Institution. The shield (along with other sentimental items thought destroyed) was returned to Captain America. Hyde during a raid on the mansion by Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil, and later "plucked from time" and restored by Zemo in Thunderbolts #105 (October 2006). ![]() It was recovered at some point after Rogers joined the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4, and was kept at Avengers Mansion. This second triangular shield was kept in storage with Rogers' other personal effects after the war. The vibranium was used to make Captain America's circular shield, and his triangular one was retired.Ĭaptain America received a second triangular shield that he used until given his disc-shaped shield, presented to him by President Franklin Roosevelt. According to the tale, King T'Chaka of Wakanda met Captain America in early 1941 and gave him a sample of vibranium, an alien metal with unique vibration-absorption properties and found only in Wakanda and the Savage Land. While the origin and fate of the original shield were not described in the original comics from the 1940s, the shield's fate was revealed decades later in 2001 through a retconned story. After complaints by rival comic-book publisher MLJ that the design was too similar to that of its own patriotic hero the Shield, Timely Comics replaced the triangular shield with a disc-shaped one.

While you can get decent sound out of the mic, thanks to G Hubs Blue audio options, it's not nearly as good as the extendable, retractable mic on the G935, or the long, windscreen-capped mic on the Pro X Wireless. There's also the microphone, which was too short to get anywhere close to my mouth. It's a profoundly annoying setup, particularly since there's no easy way to turn the lights off when the G733 is hooked up to a console and you can't use the G Hub software. If you don't wear glasses, you may see them reflected in your monitor's bezels, or in any other glossy surface on your desk. Whenever the LED strips are active, you'll see them reflected in your glasses, constantly drawing your eye away from whatever you wanted to focus on. If you wear glasses, you know exactly where this is going. But while most headsets at least consign these strips to the sides, the G733 puts them on the front of the earcups. I've always found these strips to be totally needless, since unlike a keyboard or a mouse, you cant see a headset while you're using it. Like a lot of high-end gaming headsets, the G733 features programmable RGB LED strips. It all works well enough, but it's worth discussing the RGB lighting in particular. Here, you can toggle surround sound, program equalization levels, set up game-specific profiles and so forth. Like all modern Logitech G products, the Logitech G733 works with the Logitech G Hub software. However, a Logitech representative told me that the G733 was not guaranteed to work with the Switch in the first place, so perhaps any kind of compatibility is better than none. My only small nitpick was about the Switch, on which volume can vary wildly from "almost too soft" on one level, to "almost too loud" on the next. Performance was good across the board, particularly the directional sound of demon attacks in Doom Eternal and the excellent balance among dialogue, sound effects and music in Ghost of Tsushima. I tested the G733 with Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, Marvel's Avengers, Doom Eternal and Telltale's Batman: The Enemy Within on PC, as well as Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 and Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition on Switch. Just don't expect the same sound quality you'd get from a $200 wireless headset - or even a $150 model. While the soundscape is a little flat and the headset doesn't excel with any genre in particular, it'll get you through any game at a sub-tournament level. If you tweak all three of them enough, you can make the headset sound a little better than its default configuration. ![]() It has stereo options it has surround sound options it has equalization options. The Logitech G733 delivers perfectly good sound for both gaming and music. I didn't have any trouble wearing the G733 for hours at a time, even with glasses on. Once you do get them in place, the earcups don't always make a complete seal, although they're plush and comfortable otherwise. It's not impossible to get the G733 to stay in place, but the process is much more difficult than it needs to be. The elastic band can never quite decide whether it wants to sit on the front or the back of the skull, and the fit is a little different either way. Even after that, you have to adjust each earcup individually, since each one can slide up and down a few notches. ![]() Instead of an adjustable Velcro strap, the G733 lets you move the strap between two different pegs on each side - one of which was too tight, and the other of which was too loose, in my experience. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Sweet maple expressWhen checkout out the final cost includes packaging and shipping of your personal Jam of the Month Club Subscription Box along with the box purchased.

The table below summarizes the comparisons between IntelliJ vs NetBeans : This title is not given to NetBeans by the developers. Modern technologies and more useful features are used more in IntelliJ, and hence it is considered as an intelligent application.Project management efficiency is not great in IntelliJ. The efficient project management technologies help the application to manage the coding and the programming in the application. We can create projects in both applications, but the project management is in an orderly fashion in NetBeans.NetBeans will take some time, and the code editing is done in a better way. Code analysis is done faster, and the compilation is also sooner in IntelliJ.Though smart completion is not available in NetBeans, the latest technologies are available only in NetBeans. Smart completion is a main feature of Intellij. As the name suggests, IntelliJ Idea completes the code by itself.The community participation and development of plugins are in both the software, but the community is stronger in IntelliJ as it was developed and is still controlled by a single company and has faithful members with it.The functionalities are more and have more functions in the software. Being stable makes IntelliJ better software for bigger applications. IntelliJ does not have any of these attributes in its kit.

I hired an outsourcing company and with them I started developing a more functional translator, which will work on all popular platforms and devices: smartphones, desktops, smart speakers, which used the Google API translation at that time. I decided to invest this money in creating quality products in the translation market. My apps for testing the demand, started generating revenue of about $30 000 per month. Even the largest competitor wouldn’t be able to buy all the traffic with thousands of requests, so this niche was perfect to start growing. Usually, people are searching not for a simple “translation” but for a specific language pair: for instance “translation from Arabic to French”. Translators won as the search traffic for them is subdivided into thousaтds of long-tail requests. With these metrics, the most interesting thing was to develop music services, GPS trackers, translators, fitness applications. ![]() Thanks to this, I was able to choose the best ways for purchase conversion, returnability and LTV. In the first year, people downloaded all my applications more than 10 million times. I optimized names and descriptions for the most popular search requests and gathered organic traffic. In half a year I’ve launched more than 600 applications on this platform: from news readers and task-lists to fitness trainers. To find it, I made a platform for creating simple iOS applications in minutes: one function, a couple of buttons, a couple of pictures. It was necessary to find a niche where I can succeed without a start capital with the potential for rapid growth. This is a huge market where you can always find a niche and make money.Īt the start of my business, I didn’t plan to create a translator. Translation-related searches are annually in the top ten in the world. |
