Last year, sales tapered off after Small Business Saturday, until the final weeks before Christmas. Customers flocked to the store for the annual “Small Business Saturday,” a nationally recognized day for shopping at local businesses, which is sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Still, she said sales are running consistently higher by 40-50 percent from a year ago. “We’re still in our second year, and we don’t expect to make money for the first two years, just like any other business,” said Barrett. When Barrett and her husband first opened Bookends and Beginnings, they bought 10,000 used books and started with a small inventory, which helped them avoid an initial loss that would have been difficult to overcome. “Our customers are passionate about reading, and they want to take recommendations from other avid readers,” said Barrett.īarrett says independent book stores aim for a 2 percent profit margin, but that many lose 2 percent or more annually. Attached to several books are reviews, written by one of the store’s six employees – a common practice at many independent bookstores. That type of unique connection between small bookstores and their customers is the catalyst behind independent bookstores’ resurgence.īookends and Beginnings has a rewards system that gives customers 5 percent off for every $100 spent at the store. This is where I come to forget about all of the problems in the outside world.” Even if I’m not interested in a subject, I’ll pull out a book, and it’ll pique my interest. “I feel good about the money I spend here. “We’ve all been to the big box stores, and it’s the same thing every time,” said Linda Kruhmin of Evanston, a frequent Bookends and Beginnings customer. independent booksellers has steadily increased in the last six years. In 2014, year-over-year book sales were up nationally in 47 out of 52 weeks. has rebounded over the past six years by 35 percent, up to 2,227 as of November 2015. However, ABA data shows the number of independent bookstores in the U.S. “For a long time, from 1992 to 2002, you literally could count on two hands the number of openings,” Oren Teicher, CEO of the American Booksellers Association, told USA Today in 2006. In the 1990s alone, Borders went from 21 bookstores to 256 superstores. plummeted from around 4,000 in the early 1990s to about 1,800 in 2006, largely because of the growth of Borders and Barnes & Noble. The number of independent bookstores in the U.S. The bookstore’s best sellers are typically older, quirky books, and are rarely New York Times bestsellers.įor several years, the future of independent bookstores didn’t look so promising. “We attract a certain kind of reader who still wants to touch a physical book, and misses the ‘bookstore experience,’” said Barrett. The New York City-based bookstore reported a third consecutive loss for the latest quarter on Thursday, and its stock price of $10.04 is down 26 percent from a year ago.Īs of March 2014, Amazon had a 41 percent market share of all new book purchases, including a 65 percent share of online book purchases.īut Bookends and Beginnings is in a market segment that has been able to fight off online competition, and is thriving now that corporate bookstore competition has waned. stores in 2011, and Barnes & Noble is struggling mightily to keep its head above water. But online competition from Amazon crippled the two chains’ brick-and-mortar business model.īorders went out of business and shuttered all 511 of its U.S. cities, had two major retail bookstores for years – Borders and Barnes & Noble. But the time was right.”Įvanston, like many other U.S. “Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have considered opening one. “It’s an interesting time for bookstores,” said Barrett. The following summer, Nina Barrett and her husband, Jeff Garrett jumped at the opportunity to take over the tenancy of the bookstore. Bookman’s Alley was such a community staple that author Audrey Niffenegger mentioned it in her 2003 bestseller, The Time Traveler’s Wife. With a narrow brick exterior and a deceptively large interior, it would fit nicely in Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley.Įvanston bookworms mourned when the building’s former resident, Bookman’s Alley, closed in October 2013, after 33 years in business. Tucked neatly into an alleyway between Sherman and Benson Avenue sits Bookends and Beginnings, Evanston’s only independent bookstore. If you want to have original music in the game, check out thes mods: Check the list below to rename your file accordingly.Place your converted WEM file inside the music folder.Within that mod directory, create folders in the following order: resources\_common\sound\music.Create a new mod in your personal AoE2DE directory.Pictured: Arrow sounds overridden as in the "Original Sounds" mod pack. These can be corrected/expanded with a data mod however, and will be slowly addressed with game updates. Some sounds (like all DLC birds after AoC) are bound to one same entry like in the legacy game. It may not be always possible to preserve the same variety of randomly-picked sounds for certain effects compared to the vanilla DE soundbanks.There is a workaround in place to prevent them from stacking up volume, however. Various in-game effects, such as sword clanks, arrows, mango shots etc., and some UI effects are not properly capped to cancel one another when a lot of them are played at the same time.The loop will not be preserved and the sound will play just once. Looped sounds (burning fire) are currently not supported with this.However, you can place a file called "Civilization_Jingle.wem" to override all civilization jingles at once. Individual Civilization Jingles (short audio cues that play when you press "Start Game" in single player, and not the Civ Themes) cannot be modded at this time.Original Sounds (UI only) [Known Issues:. Want to have Original Sounds in the game? Check out these mods! * For Unit Sounds, you can alternatively use Advanced Genie Editor to check which sounds with which names are bound through the Sounds tab (see Section 6 of the Guide). For Unit Sounds, make sure that you cover all variations of your sound with your replaced ones. Find the Sound that interests you and copy its corresponding File Names / Event Names. Check the Audio spreadsheet (linked at the top of the post), the Unit Sounds* and UI sounds tabs.Place your converted WEM file inside the sounds folder.Within that mod directory, create folders in the following order: resources\_common\drs\sounds.I cannot provide specific help with that, however user-created guides for doing this are available. First of all you will need to prepare your source files into WEM files.Pictured: example Play Sound effect with "Play_Chat_Received" as the sound. The Location requirement for 3D sounds may be removed in future updates. They can be used in "Play Sound" as long as Location is set for them to play on the map. They cannot be used in "Display Instructions" effects. These are normally battlefield effects (explosions/gunpowder, melee/ranged sounds, villager working effects, death screams). 3D events make use of in-game coordinates and will have panning.These can be used in both "Display Instructions" and "Play Sound" effects without any restrictions. Examples are UI sounds (button clicks, notifications, unit select and move orders, etc.). 2D events are not bound to any specific location on the map, and are played at the middle of your stereo setup without any panning.At this moment there is no visible separation between them in the spreadsheet, so you will have to keep in mind their characteristics below. There are two types of events: 2D and 3D.Check the Audio Spreadsheet (linked at the top of the guide) and input the Event Name that you want.Create a new trigger with the "Play Sound" or "Display Instructions" effect.Using stock audio in Scenario TriggersLet's say you wanted to make use of any existing sound in the game and put it into a scenario. These will be needed for nearly every type of modding below.ġ.1. Note: some of the sources listed there are not actually found in the game, because they are not used. This is for people extracting the stock files, so that they can know what they are working with. Audio Source Names linked to their IDs.Event IDs are necessary to reassign sound bindings in the DAT file (with Advanced Genie Editor). Event Names are necessary to make soft substitions of audio in drs\sounds and to use stock sound effects in the Scenario Editor. Every Event Name linked to its Event ID.In order to bridge this gap, I've created this spreadsheet. Moreover, not all of them accurately represent how a sound event is played in-game, because sound events may combine several of these sources with varying settings, configured to play together. wem files with random numbers in the name, others are packaged as part of soundbanks (.bnk). Because of the WWise system, sound files no longer have meaningful names. 10.White Laundry ShelvesĪll aboard!

Happy washing! 1.Anna DIY Laundry Room ShelvingĬredit: gray, white, and black are super trendy, and this clean-looking shelving idea will give your laundry room a hip, country cottage kick. It is no wonder laundry day is often met with eye rolls and groans by busy moms.Īre you looking for a way to make that laundry room a place that you may want to visit a little more often? Here are some great ideas for laundry room shelving that will add some charm and cheer to one of our least favorite chores. It is a necessary chore that we all tend to put off until the last minute. Whether we have to spend our valuable time washing our wares or arguing with our teens to pitch in, laundry day is no picnic. It is safe to say that almost no one looks forward to doing laundry. Everything just works, whether you're online or off, and the same security measures present on the rest of your Google account (like two-factor authentication) are automatically present on your notes as well. Keep doesn't require any special accounts, subscriptions, or bloated desktop software in order to do what it does well you just open the Chrome app or Android app, and that's it: All your stuff is there, synced, and exactly how you left it. Easy universal access - for me and for anyone else For me, less truly is more in this domain.Ģ. What's crucial for me is that Keep maintains a tight focus on simple note-taking, without the mess of supplementary stuff I don't need muddling things up and making it cumbersome to use. And it's always had the ability to let you do things like dictate notes by voice, attach images within notes, and create checkbox-style lists within notes. That's not to say it's completely bare-bones, of course over the months, the app has gained a number of note-taking basics that were lacking at its launch - like tools for organizing related notes by tags (which also function like folders). Keep is just my place for Post-It-esque quickie thoughts. If something is more than a simple note, I work on it in Docs, which is actually designed to be a word processor. I'm not using Keep for budgeting, saving contacts, or organizing travel - nor am I using it to compose novel-length articles (like, erm, this one). Ultimately, all I want is something that makes it easy to jot down and find quick lists and ideas. That's great for people who need something especially robust for their virtual notebooks, but for me, Keep's simplicity is actually an asset rather than a limitation (for the most part, anyway - more on that in a sec). Most note-taking apps take a "more is more" approach and present a complicated mishmosh of menus, features, and options. Specifically, Keep has three killer features that keep me in its grasp: And, as evidenced by the fact that I continue to use it, its positives outweigh its negatives for me and make it the best all-around option for my needs. We'll get to the critical part in a minute - but the truth is that Keep is incredibly close to being an ideal tool for me to collect and manage all of my personal and work-related notes. And around a year ago, Keep worked its way into being a core part of my mobile tech arsenal.Īs we approach the service's three-year anniversary, I thought it'd be a fine time to look at where Keep now excels - and where it could still stand to improve. I've used it on and off since then, flopping around between it and other note management services but always keeping a close eye on its evolution. Keep has come a long way since its inauspicious-seeming debut in 2013. Google's aptly named Keep app has become my tool of choice for collecting and organizing anything and everything - from story ideas and project notes to random personal stuff like names of nurses from my daughter's birth (for future thank-you-card-writing purposes) to my now-wife's ring size, once upon a time (shh.don't tell her my trick!). I'm lucky, because mobile technology has made that process easier than ever. This can be achieved by inserting new facts into the rules engine (using Yield or IContext. At this point, interfaces ( HasExhaust), PODs, dictionaries, and so on might be easier to work with. Forward chaining is the process where one rule changes the working memory of the rules engine in such a way as to activate some other rules. Unless the hierarchy is strictly disjoint with no overlaps across multiple traits, I would avoid inheritance and use other ways to emulate "polymorphic behavior".įor instance, if Car needs to pipe the engine's exhaust to the outside air, it's a bit silly to define another subclass of Engine called ExhaustEngine. Self._set_gas_rate(speed / KILOMETERS_PER_LITER)Īt some point, though, it becomes better to compose and use data to make decisions rather than an inheritance hierarchy. The following interface provides a way to start the engine and control its speed: class Engine: This can be achieved by inserting new facts into the rules engine (using Yield or IContext.Insert in NRules), or by changing some of the existing facts (using IContext.Update). Engines do their best to hide things a Car does not need to deal with whenever possible. Forward chaining is the process where one rule changes the working memory of the rules engine in such a way as to activate some other rules. In the real world, engines can be treated as black boxes with some inputs (gas/electricity) and some outputs (axle rotation, exhaust). The abstract Car should accept an abstract Engine. Or is there a better way by using, e.g., decorator? Essentially I want the end-user to make new derived classes by passing in appropriate arguments and deriving from a single base class (because all other class methods are identical except for _start) The problem is that the constructor of the base class Car would now need to accept either diesel_engine or electric_motor and also, the class method _start would perform different things accordingly (so for example, it will call _ignite or _close_circuit).Īm I better off adding the derived classes in my package: class Conventional(Car): Originally I have a simple code structure: class Car:īut now I want to enhance the functionality and cater to both conventional car and electric car in the package. Not sure many here would have experience with both to compare, but would greatly appreciate feedback if anyone does.Let's say I'm trying to create a package for the users to make new classes of cars. The big question is would the Olympus option yield better or worse IQ and AF performance than the Sony option? The total cost would be around $1500.Ģ) Get an RX10 IV (or V if/when that comes along). Ive been using it with a 1.4tc and the results are very good. I believe some Kenko tc does fit and works but the AF is terrible and often it doesnt find focus. So, basically I'm thinking of maybe doing one of the two:ġ) Trade-in my EM5 II for the EM1 II, and get an MC20 2x extender for my 40-150 Pro. Using a teleconverter is useless on Tamron or Sigma 150-600 zooms. Chain Onslaught: Earn a chain of 30 during a 1P (Regular) game. Chain Onslaught (Silver): Earn a chain of 150 in Chain Attack mode. Third, a person should set the dates, when each sub-goal should be achieved, and consider that if one period is shifted, the other period of goal’s achievement will be shifted accordingly. In the UIs canvas scaler, setting the Dynamic Pixels Per Unit to a high number. For example, in order to earn money, a person should find a job, divide his/her salary accordingly, never touch the money saved, etc. Adding an antialiasing effect via Unitys postprocessing stack. Antialiasing is currently set to 8X multi-sampling. It's really a nice camera, albeit pretty expensive for a fixed lens 1 inch kit. Earn a chain of 150 in Chain Attack mode. Increasing the antialiasing settings in Project Settings / Quality / Rendering / Antialiasing. Long story short, Olympus has a trade-in offer going on right now that would basically let me get a new EM1 II for less than a thousand after trading my EM5 II.Īt the same time, I've been eyeing the Sony RX10 IV during the past few months, since it has a pretty great lens and very fast AF. Reduce immigration to your country D Question 5 2 pts Economic growth is: a long-run process that occurs. have the central bank inject more money into the economy. It's probably my favorite lens overall.įor a while I've been wanting to have even more reach and also better AF. You tell them that the best way to achieve greater technological progress for a country is for it to continue to pursue traditional ways of working, invest in education and research. Download the Wiggle Bones addon created by Shteeve here. I already own the 40-150 Pro lens and love it. 3 I realize that my first answer may be buggy (or at least I need to fix the issue), so here are 2 alternatives, with or without addon, I don't know if it will fit your needs though, as you ask for realism: With the Wiggle Bones addon: Create your mesh and armature. argv cmds = listCmds = cmds if cmd not in cmds : print ( " WRONG COMMAND!" ) print ( "Available commands : " ) print ( " listFiles : List all Files." ) print ( " listPics : List all Pictures." ) print ( " listVideos : List all videos." ) print ( " listAudios : List all audios." ) print ( " listApps : List Applications installed." ) print ( " listAppsSystem : List System apps." ) print ( " listAppsPhone : List Communication related apps." ) print ( " listAppsSdcard : List apps on the SDCard." ) print ( " listAppsAll : List all Application." ) print ( " getFile : Download a file." ) print ( " getDeviceInfo : Get device info." ) sys.

Explore is rated as an easy machine on HackTheBox. The orbital number of the s-subshell is one, three in the p-subshell, five in the d-subshell and seven in the f-subshell. The number of sub-shells will be 5 but 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f in these four subshells it is possible to arrange the electrons of all the elements of the periodic table. So, the sub-energy levels are 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f. Therefore, the value of ‘l’ is 0, 1, 2, 3. So, the sub-energy levels are 3s, 3p, and 3d. So, the sub-energy levels are 2s, and 2p. The sub-energy levels are known as s, p, d, and f. The sub-energy levels depend on the azimuthal quantum number. The most probable region of electron rotation around the nucleus is called the orbital. These sub-energy levels are also called orbital. Electron configuration through orbitalĪtomic energy shells are subdivided into sub-energy levels. The electron configuration of all the elements can be done through orbital diagrams. The electron configuration of an element with an atomic number greater than 18 cannot be properly determined according to the Bohr model. Electrons can be arranged correctly through orbits from elements 1 to 18. Therefore, the order of the number of electrons in each shell of a magnesium(Mg) atom is 2, 8, 2. Therefore, the magnesium atom will have two electrons in the first shell, eight in the 2nd orbit, and two electrons in the 3rd shell. That is, the number of electrons in magnesium is twelve. Magnesium atom electron configuration (Bohr model) The atomic number is the number of electrons in that element. Therefore, the maximum electron holding capacity in the first shell is two, the second shell is eight and the 3rd shell can have a maximum of eighteen electrons. The maximum electrons holding capacity in N orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 4 2 = 32. The maximum electrons holding capacity in M orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 3 2 = 18. The maximum electron holding capacity in L orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 2 2 = 8. The maximum electron holding capacity in K orbit is 2n 2 = 2 × 1 2 = 2. The electron holding capacity of each orbit is 2n 2. K is the name of the first orbit, L is the second, M is the third, and N is the name of the fourth orbit. These circular paths are called orbit(shell). The electrons of the atom revolve around the nucleus in a certain circular path. The complete idea of the orbit is given there. Scientist Niels Bohr was the first to give an idea of the atom’s orbit. For example Aufbau principle, Hund’s principle, and Pauli’s exclusion principle.

Interior and exterior rusting, even though 100% garaged and regularly cleaned/waxed. Dealer told me he has no idea how to get them out either. Water even stains them, and you can't get the stains out. Leak is very minimal, no low oil between changes. Advised me to continue to drive it the way it is, as the repair worth more than the car. Was told that this year of Escape is notorious for leaking oil and eventually needing a $5,000 repair to head gasket to fix. Now I have a small oil leak starting at 85,000 miles. Control arm starting to come loose at 75,000 miles. Waterpump needed replaced at 75,000 miles. Put duct tape around the too-small latch pin and it rattles no more. Here are the facts: What I have had to have fixed: since new, Liftgate rattled: numerous trips/replacement by dealership. Good thinking Ford! Even though this is connected to the drive train, and keeps your transmission from failing, its not a drive train part, and not cover cause its not internal. When your cooler needs changed the A/C Freon needs to be emptied, then fill again, which adds to the labor cost. They both told me to hold on to my receipt in case there is a recall I can get reimbursed I think this is the last Ford I will own.įord's GREAT idea of making the transmission cooler, and the A/C condenser all one piece. This is ridicules I am paying for a defect that Ford knows about. Since there is no recall, and the CSP is over, I had to pay $644.41 out of my pocket. Called Ford Customer Care, and both them, and the Ford dealer acknowledge the defect, but would not cover it. Since I didn't not own the vehicle until November 2010, I had no idea of the problem, and since the original owner never took it in, I have to pay the price. Ford sent a CSP #09B10 to owners for a replacement because of the know defect to the cooler. I was told Ford did do some repairs on these cars that where built early 2008, and that the CSP (Customer Satisfaction Program) expired in August 2010. After doing tons of research on line about the trans cooler defect, I see this has happened to 100's if not 1000's of people that owned 2008 Escapes. |
