Free for mac instal TrashMe1/6/2024 And I apologize for the almost unreadable formatting, a severe limitation of MacUpdate itself, which compresses maximum text into minimum space, leaving no whitespace for readability. But if all you can come up with is 5 stars and a sentence or two saying that program X is great and I don't know what I'm talking about, please save your breath. I will rate all these programs with one star, probably one more than they deserve. If I have missed any programs that should be on the list, please leave a comment and let me know. You are well-advised to read any program documentation and make a RELIABLE BACKUP before attempting any changes. Macs simply do not need "cleaning." (See for example: ) Some of these programs are notorious for being little more than malware. True experts in macOS maintenance advise against using any of them, because in general they serve little useful purpose and they can easily do more harm than good. Most of the developers' descriptions boast about what a great job they do, but the truth is, there are no good, comprehensive, head-to-head reviews of these programs by impartial 3rd parties. Many - probably the most accurate and honest - have negative reviews, by users who have been burned by them. Many have what look to be essentially fake 5-star reviews with no useful commentary. There are now 45 in the list, and it seems like new entries in the 'Mac cleaner' market space pop up every day, metastasizing like a cancer. I intend to post this every time a new or updated version of one of these things shows up on this site. As a public service to the MacUpdate community, I've found as many of these "cleaner" apps on this website as I could and listed them them below.

Shred ready shaggy helmet1/6/2024 On a lesser scale, helmets protect against low impact hits and abrasions as well, but those are only relevant to kayakers in that the helmet should be able to withstand multiple such impacts - they are the most frequent. Whitewater helmets are designed to protect the head in two ways - first by distributing energy away from the point of impact with the shell, and second by mitigating energy with a "crush zone" - basically the foam liner. There is the European standard, but it doesn't have a lot of respect in these here parts because it allows for rotational energy transfer - so it's good to have CE approval, but not as strong of a guarantee as it could be. If you want to throw yourself off a 60' waterfall with nothing but a wool cap, there is no American government agency that is going to tell you that any manufacturer selling you a wool cap as adequate protection is selling you a false bill of goods. There is to this day no American standard for whitewater helmets, which means Ralph Nader isn't covering your back on this. I did a lot of research on helmets when I did my first review of Lidds helmets, including a call to David Halstead at Southern Impact Research, an independent equipment and safety testing firm. The "killer app" on this helmet however is definitely the new "Hand of God" occipital lock system which can be worn in both directions.įirst, let me touch on safety for a moment. The Super Scrappy is a price-point version of the popular ShredReady Shaggy helmet with a shell made from ABS plastic instead of composite and an EVA foam liner. Has everything necessary for a light-usage helmet and addresses the highly underappreciated fitting issues with the Hand of God occipital lock system. The Super Scrappy is the best "cheap" helmets I've seen so far.

From seed germination to flowering and fruiting, each phase requires different levels of attention and care. Okra plants go through different stages of growth, and it’s crucial to understand each stage to ensure proper care. How Can You Understand Okra Growth and Overcome Slow Growth Issues? Don’t give up on your okra dreams- with these tips, you can ensure successful cultivation!.Pruning and fertilization techniques are also important for healthy growth.Strategies to overcome slow growth include adjusting soil pH, using organic pesticides, and companion planting.Potential causes of slow growth include soil texture/pH, pests, and disease.Pruning promotes branching and fruit set, while removing dead/damaged leaves and stems can prevent pests and diseases.Adequate water and slow-release fertilizers are essential for healthy growth.Well-drained, slightly acidic (pH 6.0-6.5) soil is ideal for okra growth.Okra prefers warm temperatures (75-90☏) and at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. To promote healthy growth, it is important to ensure that the plant is receiving adequate care and attention, including regular watering, fertilization, and proper maintenance. Okra growth can be slow due to various reasons including low soil temperature, lack of nutrients, insufficient sunlight, and overwatering. So, whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, keep reading to learn how you can improve your okra cultivation. We’ll also provide practical tips and strategies for overcoming slow growth to ensure a successful okra harvest. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the stages of okra growth, the optimal growing conditions, and potential causes of slow development. This problem not only affects backyard gardeners but also farmers who rely on healthy crops for their livelihood. However, for those who have tried to grow okra themselves, you may have experienced the frustration of slow growth or even stunted plants. This versatile vegetable can be fried, pickled, stewed, and used in a variety of dishes. If you’re a fan of southern cuisine, chances are you’ve tasted the deliciousness of okra.

B in bubble letters1/6/2024 You could do this by making the lines of the circle outlines a bit wavier. If all else fails, try to find two flat objects you can use to trace around.Īnother way you could get past drawing two perfect circles would be to simply make them imperfect. The best one to use would be a drawing compass, but you can also use stencils. One would be to use a drawing tool to help you as you draw the circles. Luckily, there are a few ways to get around this hurdle. If you have ever tried to drawa perfect circle then you will know that it is next to impossible to do free-hand! As shown in our reference image, this will start with two simple circles. Now you are ready to start drawing the interior of the letter. Once it’s all connected, your outline will be complete, and we can start to add the interior details of your letter. At the point where the bottom bubble of the B connects to the spine, we will add a smaller curved line. This will bring you back to where it all started: the left-hand ‘spine’ of the B. It can be trickier than it looks, so try to follow the guide closely. This will curve out to form the bottom bubble of the B.Īs you can see, this will curve out and then in again. To start, extend the line out from where you left off. This step will be the most you have drawn in one go so far, but you can definitely do it! In step 3, we will be finishing off the outline of your bubble letter A. That’s all there is to it for now, so let’s take care of the next section as we proceed to step 3! Step 3 While the line is simple, it can be easy to make it bumpy if you try to rush it. Once again, we recommend taking it slowly. Think of it like the track of a rollercoaster that will plummet down suddenly.Īs you draw, try to make sure that this second line stops where it does in our reference image, as we will be adding more later. This second line will extend directly from the top end of the first line.Īs you can see in the reference image, this next part will slope upward slightly before gently heading down again. To continue this letter, we will be extending the line from step one to draw the top of the letter. Once you have this first line done, we can move on to step 2! Step 2 If you go too quickly then the line may not be smooth, so slow and steady is the best way to do it. You can then draw the bubble version of the letter around this guide and then erase these guiding lines when you have drawn the final outlines. To do this, use a light pencil to draw a large B. You can also make your drawing easier by drawing a rough guide. Draw nice and slowly, there’s no rush at all. You can look closely at our reference image and then replicate it yourself. The design of this letter should look like a bubble inflating outward, so gently curve the line out. This first step is nice and easy, as you will only need to draw a single curved line. The same is true for this letter, as we will begin at the left-hand side of the letter. When you’re writing a word, you’ll generally start from left to right. Once that is done, we will also go over a few ways you can make your drawing even more fun and unique! In this guide, we will take you through 6 steps on how to draw a fun bubble version of this letter. While that may be the case, you may not know how to draw a bubble letter B, and that’s why we’re here! Some of the best things in life start with B beach, bubblegum and bacon would be a few examples to start with!Īs you work on this guide, you should try to think of more words that start with B so that you will be able to create these words later.Īs the second letter in the alphabet, you probably already know how to write this letter. The letter B is one that we use a lot in our day-to-day lives.

Elizabeth banks rita repulsa image1/5/2024 This movie simply provided an opportunity to take her somewhere the TV series never did. However, it's like Dean Israelite said, Banks' Rita will still be insane and have humorous moments. Clearly she's a bad guy who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty fighting the Rangers personally. The 2017 reboot reimagined Rita as a fallen Power Ranger, portrayed by Elizabeth Banks, who betrayed Zordon and her teammates long ago, before being imprisoned at the bottom of the ocean on Earth by Alpha. The 'Pitch Perfect' actress ditched her blond locks (and eyebrows) to morph into the menacing character, who will appear in the upcoming 'Power Rangers' reboot film. Elizabeth Banks is set to make her villainous mark as Rita Repulsa in the upcoming Power Rangers reboot, and now, we have our first look at the actr. Then another image came out showing Rita attacking the Yellow Ranger in her bedroom, a scene which was slightly elaborated upon in the recently-released trailer. The first photo of Elizabeth Banks as iconic 'Power Rangers' villain Rita Repulsa is finally here, and its intense. Instead of being dressed like a space witch, this version is wearing green, scaly armor, which gives off much more of an alien vibe. Select from premium Elizabeth Banks Rita Repulsa of the highest quality. When the first image of Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa was released back in April, longtime Power Rangers fans could tell right away that they'd be getting a significantly altered Rita compared to the one seen on TV more than two decades ago. Elizabeth Banks Rita Repulsa Photos and Premium High Res Pictures - Getty Images Find Elizabeth Banks Rita Repulsa stock photos and editorial news pictures from Getty Images. Elizabeth Banks is perfect in the role, because she can balance the humor and the drama the character needs in a way that almost no one else could. With Rita, she still has the madness and humor that made her work so well in the series, but there's something more. I think it's a case of taking the characters to places that they had never been before, but had maybe needed to go. Very little has been officially confirmed about the plot, and no images of the lead characters in their Ranger uniforms have yet been released.Speaking with THR after the Power Rangers panel at New York Comic-Con this past weekend, director Dean Israelite commended Elizabeth Banks for her performance as Rita Repulsa, noting she's more intimidating, yet still staying true to the character's spirit. The film, which is being directed by Project Almanac's Dean Israelite under production supervision from original MMPR creator Haim Saban (who launched the new film project shortly after reacquiring the rights to the property from Disney), is due out in the early part of 2017. The studio also released new photos, which offer a first look at Zordon ( Bryan Cranston ), Alpha 5 ( Bill Hader ), The Puddy Patrollers along with Rita Repulsa ( Elizabeth Banks) and the Power. Earlier today, fans got a look at the official costumes for. The Power Rangers will return to the big screen in 2017 with Saban's Power Rangers, a movie that will reboot the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers itself, a property that debuted as a live. People magazine has lifted the lid on 2017s live action Power Rangers reboot by. A new fan theory suggests that Elizabeth Banks' Rita Repulsa may actually be the Green Ranger in Lionsgate's Power Rangers remake. The first image of Elizabeth Banks as the villainous Rita Repulsa in the upcoming Power Rangers movie reboot has been released. The spectacle of Rita's lips being constantly out-of-sync with her lines remains one of the most fondly remembered low-tech aspects of the famously campy original series. Elizabeth Banks Unrecognisable As Power Rangers Reboots Rita Repulsa. In the original Power Rangers, villain Rita Repulsa let her various monsters do most of the heavy lifting when it came to defeating the rangers. About Photo 3641217: Elizabeth Banks hangs from two wires while doing stunt work in character as Rita Repulsa for Power Rangers on Tuesday (April 26) in Vancouver, Canada. While much of the action footage in Zyuranger featured both Rangers and Monsters in costumes that either obscured or limited mouth-movement, making English dubbing easy, Rita (originally called "Bandora" on Zyuranger) was played by Japanese actress Machiko Soga with her normal face consistently visible. The first image from the film makes its debut online. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was originally created by re-editing action footage from a Japanese "Super Sentai" series called Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, with limited footage of American actors playing the Rangers outside of their costumes. Repulsa is perhaps best remembered for being a (then) rare modern example of a character speaking another language being dubbed into English for American television.

Tracy letts play on broadway1/5/2024 Two years later, the attempted suppression of facts and history in school systems throughout America is in the headlines. The play, first produced at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theater in 2017, seemed to me in 2020 primarily an allegory for national politics during the Trump administration, and, secondarily, as Lett’s way of commenting on the myths (lies) of American history, especially concerning the treatment of Native Americans (which he also expressed in his Pulitzer Prize winning play “August: Osage County”) His replacement, Noah Reid, who is making his Broadway debut, and who is best known for his role as Patrick Brewer in “Schitt’s Creek,” makes a fine everyman, an exemplar of decency. Carp, disappeared, although we know why: He dropped out after he was accused of sexual assault and of having fantasies about cannibalism. In a semi-surreal development, he, like Mr. “The Minutes” was the last play I saw on Broadway before the pandemic shut down all productions in March, 2020. For example, the high school football team that the mayor and presumably the rest of the townsfolk are so obsessed with (a la Friday Night Lights), is named the Savages. Letts has arguably prepared us with subtle little jabs throughout the play. The last ten minutes of “The Minutes” swerve far from comedy, and the ending is very far from realism, an abrupt twist into horror that some will feel packs a powerful punch others will just feel sucker punched. Shocked, the rest of the council members suddenly re-enacts the story of the town’s founding, a recounting of something called the Battle at Mackie Creek that serves as a weird comic digression from the by-the-book City Council meeting. Hanratty mentions in his proposal the town’s historic hero, its founder, Sergeant Otto Pym, Mr. Oldfield (a priceless Austin Pendleton, who supplies many laughs), has been on the council for 39 years he seems long ago to have lost the ability to focus on anything, unless it involves his peculiar personal needs and interests. “There’s nothing so interesting about the bottom of it,” Mr. He wants the city to rip down the old fountain near City Hall and build an elaborate and expensive new one, with a grand statue of the town’s historic hero at its center, and make it accessible “so that my sister, or any other soul confined to the use of a wheelchair, can reach the fountain and see the bottom of it.” Hanratty (Danny McCarthy) doesn’t like Mr. We take a trained mixed martial arts fighter and dress him up as Abraham Lincoln.” Ms. Blake (K Todd Freeman) is focused on lobbying for his pet project, the Lincoln Smackdown, “an opportunity for anyone to fight Honest Abe in a steel cage. OldfieldĪ cheesy effort at democratic grandeur is also a good description of many of the 11 characters in “The Minutes.” The cast, a starry ensemble, deliciously captures the pettiness, pomposity, self-dealing and general surreal lunacy of local politicos when they meet, with only the slightest of comic underscoring - as anybody who has attended any such meetings in real life can attest. Assalone, TRACY LETTS as Mayor Superba and CLIFF CHAMBERLAIN as Mr. That last effect is part of scenic designer David Zinn’s spot-on re-creation of a typically drab legislative chamber, décor that tries but fails to suggest democratic grandeur – chintzy wood panel, worn red carpet, red-leather chairs, flags and maps, and city proclamations on the walls. Shapiro heightens the atmosphere of suspense with thunder and lightning (it’s raining outside), and the flickering and occasional shutdown of the fluorescent lights inside, which only Mr. Peel’s effort to uncover it, drives the main action of “The Minutes,” and leads to a stunning revelation, which I won’t spoil. Carp, his ally on the council, has been kicked off of it indeed, he’s disappeared entirely. If his fellow council members seem genial enough, nobody will tell him what happened at the last meeting, and why Mr. A newcomer to the town, Peel (we never learn anybody’s first name) is affable and well-meaning. Peel has been away in California to attend his mother’s funeral, and so had missed the previous week’s meeting of the city council. Playwright and performer Tracy Letts, as the mayor, and Noah Reid and Councilmember Peel.Īs the play begins, Mr.

Td sequential equation1/4/2024 The analyzers have certain frequency limits. A noise figure meter also has limitations. An engineer can measure the noise figure over a certain frequency range, and the analyzer can display the system gain together with the noise figure to help the measurement. In most cases it is also the most accurate. Using a noise figure meter is the most straightforward way to measure noise figure. Also, certain parameters need to be set up in the Noise Figure Meter before the measurement, such as frequency range, application (Amplifier/Mixer), etc. For certain applications (mixers and receivers), a LO signal might be needed, as shown in Figure 1. Since the input noise and Signal-to-Noise ratio of the noise source is known to the analyzer, the noise figure of the DUT can be calculated internally and displayed. The output of the DUT is then measured by the noise figure analyzer. The noise figure meter, such as Agilent N8973A Noise Figure Analyzer, generates a 28VDC pulse signal to drive a noise source (HP346A/B), which generates noise to drive the device under test (DUT). Noise Figure Meter/Analyzer is employed as shown in Figure 1. In this article, a Noise Figure Meter as well as two other popular methods - "gain method" and "Y factor method" - will be discussed. Measurement methods have to be chosen carefully. As shown in the table above, some applications have high gain and low noise figure (Low Noise Amplifiers under HG mode), some have low gain and high noise figure (mixers and LNAs under LG mode), some have very high gain and wide range of noise figure (receiver systems). Measurement methods vary for different applications. * HG = High Gain Mode, LG = Low Gain Mode Below is a table of typical RF system Noise Figures: Category The basic definition is:įrom this definition, many other popular equations of the Noise Figure (Noise Factor) can be derived. Noise Figure (Noise Factor) contains the important information about the noise performance of a RF system. Noise Figure (NF) is sometimes referred to as Noise Factor (F). This tutorial discusses this important parameter in more detail and describes three different noise figure measurement procedures. The lower the value of noise figure, the better the performance. In wireless communication systems, the "noise figure (NF)" or the related "noise factor (F)" is a number used to specify the performance of a radio receiver. The three approaches are compared in a table. Three different methods to measure noise figure are presented: Gain method, Y-factor method, and the Noise Figure Meter method. |
