![]() ![]() The reality I’m glad to say is very different, an RX7 is a blast to own and while rotary engines have a limited rebuild interval they are for the most part extremely reliable and easy to maintain. Perceived as complex, troublesome and needing a rebuild every time its Tuesday many are reluctant to take the plunge and buy an RX7. From our experience this is down to fear of the rotary engine. Many people love the idea of the RX7, they dream about buying one but when all is done end up going with some lesser car instead. ![]() Here are 10 cars which we believe are set to appreciate in value in the coming years, making them excellent investments which you can not only watch appreciating in value but more importantly enjoy owning. Nowadays with emissions standards, safety regulations and a quest to make everything hybrid or eco friendly we are unlikely to ever see cars like these again.īut its not all bad news! Now is your best opportunity to own some of these cars which were designed during this golden era, The market for these cars is ever growing and is influenced by demand from within Japan as well as all of the other export markets, particularly the U.S., (In the U.S., cars can be imported to most states providing they are over 25 years old and as each year rolls by this opens the U.S. What followed the economic crash is often called “The Lost Decade”, the car manufacturers shied away from performance cars and stuck with their bread and butter kei cars and family wagons, with the demise of the bubble economy meaning the demand for sports cars within Japan was all but gone. It is only now when we look back at this period we can begin to appreciate just how good some of these cars truly are, not just back then but right now. Right through the 1980’s and up to the economic crash of the early 90’s Japan produced some of the most special drivers cars of all time. The Japanese car manufacturing giants recognised this and lived up to the demand by producing cars that were not only massively advanced but somehow managed to personify this wave of confidence and prosperity that Japan was enjoying. This all meant that disposable income was at an all time high amongst Japanese salary men and they wanted to enjoy the fruits of their labour, crazy gadgets and electronics were developed to fulfill every task, video gaming and gaming culture exploded but of course what better way to spend your hard earned yen than on a sports car. The 80’s and early 90’s was an amazing period for Japan … In the midst of the “Bubble Economy” Japan was booming, the country as a whole was brimming with confidence and was emerging as a world leader at the cutting edge of technological developments.

![]() “The point of the meeting,” Shannon recalled, “was that Steve wanted to show Harry what his vision was for that site. The answer, according to four people in the room - Macklowe, Backus, Bohlin, and Shannon - is that the cube was the brainchild of the late Steve Jobs. What happened next has long been the subject of speculation and some dispute: Who came up the idea of placing a 30‐foot square glass cube - the world’s “smallest skyscraper” - in the middle of the GM Building plaza? In that lightbulb moment, an unused basement that had caused headaches for its owners for more than 40 years morphed into what is arguably the most famous retail space in the world. Bohlin and Karl Backus from Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the designers of the Apple Store in Soho. “It would be open 24/7.” The meeting included Macklowe’s longtime design collaborator Dan Shannon and the architects Peter Q. The Apple team started talking about a flagship store that would be groundbreaking in almost every aspect,” he said. “He’s wearing this black turtleneck, he’s wearing black jeans … it was terrific. ![]() Out in Cupertino, Macklowe hit it off immediately with Jobs. How Apple Pay Will Cause You to Buy More Useless Junk He pestered George Blankenship, Apple’s vice-president of real estate, until he was invited to a meeting with Jobs in November 2003. Macklowe had a feeling that his best bet for really transforming the property from a prestigious relic into a vibrant commercial property lay with Apple, which was on the verge of blowing up into a retail titan several years into Steve Jobs’s second stint as CEO. In 2003, when the still-aspiring property mogul Harry Macklowe finally hit the big-time with his purchase of the iconic GM Building for $1.4 billion in borrowed funds, one of his first concerns was how to fix the “problematic plaza,” as industry insiders and architects called the large and rather useless open space that extended from the front entrance to Fifth Avenue. But few people realize that it exists because of a real estate developer who had just taken the biggest gamble of his life, and needed to solve a problem - and because he knew just how to play mind games with Steve Jobs. Though it has been open for less than a decade, the Apple store under the glass cube at the base GM building is already one of the best-known and most successful retail sites in the world. The scene will almost certainly repeat itself in a few months when the new Apple Watches arrive. What might have appeared like civic unrest in another time or place was just business as usual at Apple’s flagship store during the release of a new product - in this case, the iPhone 6. Camera crews looked on, recording the event. ![]() Thousands of people stood in a mass, separated by rows of metal barriers. On September 19, there was a mob scene around a large glass cube at the corner of 57 th Street and Fifth Avenue. ![]() Initial designs (the ‘pregnant worm’) had a bulge to accommodate it but it became apparent a simple constant diameter pressure hull was a better solution allowing a 50% increase in weapons capacity. However, it was considerably larger and the pressure hull had to be increased to 10.7m in diameter. The PWR2 reactor, in production for the Vanguard-class SSBN had to be incorporated and it was safer, quieter and more powerful than the PWR1 of the Trafalgars. Costs were supposed to be controlled by utilising the Trafalgar’s propulsor, gearbox and steam turbines, elements of the Upholder class SSK design and the integrated Tactical Weapons System upgrade applied to the Swiftsure & Trafalgar classes. This was another mistake, one that arguably still negatively impacts the RN.Īstute was supposed to be a ‘low-risk batch II’ option but over time changing requirements had complicated matters. This valuable in-house capability with decades of accumulated naval construction experience had started to decline during the 1980s in favour of outsourcing entirely to commercial entities. Previously the outline designs for the majority of submarines and warships were developed by the MoD’s own naval architects in Bath who acted as design authority and project overseers, managing risks and expenditure with a very hands-on approach. GEC Marconi as the prime contractor was responsible for both the design, manufacture and performance of the boats. In a conspiracy of optimism, the contractor promised the MoD HMS Astute would be delivered by 2005. The contract was finally awarded in June 1997 for the first 3 submarines valued at £2.8Bn including 4 years in-service support for the first two boats. This created uncertainty at Barrow with RR and AMEC also withdrawing while the expertise of the assembled teams began to disperse as the government dithered over the contract award. GEC Marconi was selected as the preferred bidder in June 1995 but GEC were also allowed to buy out VSEL. The contenders were the GEC Marconi-led consortium comprising BMT, AMEC, Rolls Royce and Kockums (Swedish conventional submarine builders) against Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering Limited (VSEL), owners of the Barrow shipyard. B2TC would eventually evolve into the Astute class.Īn invitation to build the first 3 boats was issued in July 1994. Instead in June 1991, a £6m contract was awarded to develop a Batch II Trafalgar-class Batch II (B2TC) to an industry team comprising VSEL, British Aerospace, Marconi and Rolls Royce. Like many similar defence cooperation attempts with the French, it was found not to be practical as requirements and philosophy were too divergent. It was quickly realised that buying from the US would work out far more costly and would damage the UK submarine construction industry and the critical strategic ability to build deterrent submarines. This was the first of a series of decisions that combined to leave a problematic legacy for the RN submarine service.Īn attempt to build a cheaper/simpler submarine than SSN20 was started and the Government flirted with the idea of buying off the shelf from the US or a joint programme with the French navy. The end of the Cold War and the 1990 “Options for Change” defence review brought the SSN20 programme to a sudden halt as politicians scrambled to cut defence spending to reap the so-called “peace dividend”. The W class were intended as a high-end boat that would far outclass the Soviet navy’s best (in a similar vein to the US Navy’s Seawolf class) and cost constraints were not a major factor. By 1989 approval had been given for detailed design work to start on the new class which were now referred to as ‘SSN20’ and would have had names starting with ‘W’ (following the ‘V’ used by the Vanguard class). In 1980, the project was suspended as the design teams needed to focus on the Vanguard class SSBNs but in 1984 work resumed on what was now called the follow-on SSN (FOSSN). In the late 1970s planners began to consider what would replace the Swiftsure class and began concept development for ‘SSN0Z’. These were followed by the 7 Trafalgar class boats, arguably one of the best Cold War SSN designs, delivered to the fleet through the 1980s on time and with an average construction time of about 50 months. Propelled by a regular drumbeat of construction and development, by the early 1980s it had built the Dreadnought, Valiant, Churchill and Swiftsure classes. In the late 1960s the RN had decided that it would invest heavily in nuclear attack submarines with a force goal of 20 boats, seen as the new capital ships of the day and the most effective weapons to counter Soviet maritime threat. In the first of a series of articles focussing on the Astute class SSNs, we look at the programme’s history and how decisions made decades ago continue to impact today’s fleet. ![]() The normal satin or semi-gloss finish is flat, but these two include a delicate texture to make the print feel more special when held. Pearl and Luster – These are offered by the more professional manufactures and represent a type of satin finish with a textured feel.Certain brands such as Epson call their range of satin finish “semi-gloss” so the best description will be a toned down glossy finish. It benefits from a level of glossiness, but nowhere near that of the actual glossy finish. Satin – The satin finish is situated precisely in the middle, between the glossy and matt finish.It is also commonly used when printing black and white photos, as glossy finish can diminish from the photo’s credibility. The lack of expensive finish makes the photo paper slightly cheaper to produce and more affordable to buy which helps explain why it is commonly used in brochure and flyer printing. It is situated on the other side of the scale with zero glossiness. Matt – Depending on the brand, you will come across this finish as Matt or Matte.The shine from the chemical coating helps distinguish the smallest details of the photograph, however the resulting glare makes viewing the print from certain angles challenging on occasion. Glossy – The most widely used finish is the glossy finish which comes in degree of glossiness from normal to high glossy.Here are the most common options you will come across. Common options include matt, glossy and satin, but when consumers come across terms such as semi-gloss, pearl, luster and other finishes, confusion is likely to occur. The problem lies in the inconsistent terminology that brands use to describe their finish and the headache of making sense of which is which. ![]() It is a translucent chemical coating that is designed to improve the appearance of the print which otherwise may appear dull. The first aspect that consumers often evaluate is the photo paper finish.

This computerized file will adjust the printer settings for you. are able to provide you with a colour profile file. Many manufacturers and particularly the professional niche players the likes of Ilford, Hahnemuehle, Innova, etc. Choosing your own printer’s brand of paper will mean that settings are pre-configured, though do not let this put you off from considering other brands. The difference lies in the setting part of the printing process, in which you have to decide on paper size, quality, finish and other printing attributes. For example, an HP printer will naturally support its range of papers as well as these papers produced by other manufacturers. The fact that you own a major manufacturer’s brand of printer does not limit you to its range of printed media. Most printers will support universal compatibility. Therefore from here on, the various parameters for choosing photo paper will refer to the Inkjet type. This method of printing can achieve 2880Dpi vs. Laser uses melted powder-like substance in CMYK colours, while Inkjet uses the same colours though liquid ink form that are delivered to the paper by means of small jets (hence Ink-Jet). Laser printing is able to outperforming Inkjet printing in terms of speed, but it lacks the accuracy that high quality photographs require. The mostly widely adopted technology by the professional printing community is the Inkjet printer technology.

The only solace, I guess, I had was they allowed the door to my bedroom to be cracked an inch or two. And no amount of bedside chats could calm me down once the sun set and I went to bed and my parents turned the lights off. But I was a fearful kid, and my parents didn't quite know what to do with that, because my mom was fearless and my dad was extremely stoic about things like this. I was afraid of small places - and I still am today. And that was a direct steal from that tree out my window that scared me. Later, as an adult, when I wrote Poltergeist, I created a tree out the window that actually comes to life and grabs a kid and starts to suck them into one of its sappy knotholes. scary, naked tree out the window that looked like it had tentacles, with these horrible branches and it looked like arms and long fingers and long fingernails. It also tells the story - in a fictionalized way - of how he fell in love with movies, and became a filmmaker. The movie is about tensions in his family during those years, and why his parents divorced when he was 19. The Fabelmans is a semi-autobiographical film based on Spielberg's childhood and teenage years. He says that all his movies are personal, but his most recent film - which he jokingly refers to as "$40 million of therapy" - is especially so. Spielberg would go on to direct more than 30 movies, including Jaws, ET, the Indiana Jones films, Saving Private Ryan and the recent adaptation of West Side Story. "That's how my obsession with creating imagery. the idea of using a camera to film it," he says. "I really think it helped assuage the fear. At home, he began re-enacting the scene, using his Lionel Electric train set and a his father's 8mm movie camera. "I didn't understand the story, didn't understand what they were saying, but the imagery was amazing," he says.Īfterward, he was haunted by a terrifying train derailment he had seen in the film. Where was the big tent? Where were the circus animals he had been expecting? But then the red curtain opened and the film began and it didn't take him long to fall under become enchanted.

What you can’t see are the CP pistons, Brian Crower cams and rods, Supertech valves, and King bearings which hide within, making the big, reliable power possible. Yet, the once relatively pedestrian K20A2 is now capable of 600whp and 450ft-lb of torque thanks to LA Sleeves, a tune at OnPoint Dyno, and a long list of parts. Taking a peek under the hood, nothing immediately screams high-budget, nor does it seem too exotic. While Will has become a master of building and setting up his cars in-house at PZtuning, all we can really do from the outside is look at each component, recognizing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The secret, of course, is in striking the right balance between each system. So, what is it that makes the nearly two decades old Acura so quick? Balance Still, that didn’t keep him from setting a new lap record - in the TrackMod class at the M1 Concourse - in the RSX on his way to taking the top spot in the bracket-style battles. ![]() ![]() It’s simply awesome to see someone at the top of their game who still truly enjoys tinkering around with cars and manages to find time to drive for fun - as Will was when I met him at Motovicity’s Speed Ring last year. But rather than stripping down or selling off the RSX in the wake of his successful new build, Will held on to the retired Acura, giving it love in his spare time. With a solid list of sponsors on board - Vibrant Performance, Competition Clutch, BorgWarner, RAYS, Project Mu, and Fortune Auto - at their first outing in 2015 the Civic took home a victory in the Unlimited FWD Class at Road Atlanta. Not only that, Will took the 2014 GTA Pro Championship in the Limited Class, and soon after began working to build the Civic. Will’s work on this chassis started in late 2012, but already by 2014 the RSX was a two-time GTA record holder in the Limited Class at Road Atlanta and Super Lap Battle, which takes place at Buttonwillow Raceway in Southern California. If you aren’t up on the goings on in time attack, allow me to share with you the list of records this Civic holds at this point: Buttonwillow CW13 Overall (1:37.308), Road Atlanta Overall (1:19.509), Gingerman Overall (1:23.775), NJMP Lightning Overall (0:59.819), CTMP Overall (1:20.200), and, now, Tsukuba FWD (0:53.071).īut before the highly-tuned Civic existed, Will built and drove a 2003 Acura RSX, a car which he still hammers around a circuit from time to time. This record came courtesy of his well-developed PZtuning-built Vibrant Performance 2012 Civic Si, as featured on Speedhunters some 18 months back. Notably, this was nearly two seconds faster than the next contender. It was there a few weeks ago that he took the FF record within a few laps during Friday’s practice from Nobuteru Taniguchi and the HKS TRB-04 Suzuki Swift, which had previously set a 55.498-second lap last December.Īt Attack Tsukuba, Will continued to shave down his lap times over the course of the weekend, ultimately ending up with a 53.071. But given Will’s recent time attack accolades, he’s since vaunted himself into another level entirely.Īs Dino’s recently explained, Will’s most recent notch on his belt came at Tsukuba Circuit in Japan. It’s a strong resume of FF seat time, and one that you could argue was fairly relatable. “I was hooked right off the bat and haven’t looked back ever since,” he says.Įventually, Will moved to a track-prepped ’90 Honda CRX Si, before getting into some wheel-to-wheel action using an EG Civic during the 2003-04 seasons. His first track day came in 1997 at Shannonville Motorsport Park - located up North between Montreal and Toronto, Canada - where he piloted his Integra. Behind the wheel, Will grew to love and appreciate the FF platform (front-engine, front-wheel drive) much more deeply than he was able to from outside the car, and he says he’s been enjoying this layout ever since. ![]() Will’s first Honda was actually an Acura, a ’95 Integra RS to be exact. Such is the case, however, and it’s a theme that can be seen from generation to generation. It’s almost humorous that a record-setting streak as strong as William Au-Yeung’s could have had such simple, benign beginnings. “I’ve been a fan of Hondas for a long time, even before I had my driver’s license.” ![]() The custom difficult options are: Enemy Skill Sniper Elite - There are realistic bullet ballistics.Ī feature of Sniper Elite V2 is the ability to set very defined, custom difficulty settings altering the physics and assists rendered in the game.Marksman - There are simplified bullet ballistics.Cadet - There are no bullet ballistics enabled. ![]()
![]() Rattlesnake fangs are positioned on the mandible at the front of the mouth… When a rattlesnake bites… its mandible opens wide and the fangs sink into its prey with great force and speed. The power of a rattlesnake bite comes from its muscles and fangs working together… A rattlesnake’s mouth has several interconnected bones that form its jaw structure or “mandible.” Muscles pull or push on these bones to open the mouth and shut it again. Rattlesnakes in particular are known for being able to penetrate all sorts of substances… including denim jeans and high-top leather boots. Rattlesnakes are designed to be extremely effective predators… Their venom helps them paralyze their prey quickly… while their own powerful muscles enable them to sink their fangs into prey even when it is trying to flee… Snakes have highly flexible jaws that allow them to open wide enough to swallow prey whole. How do rattlesnakes bite through rubber boots? The answer is yes… rattlesnakes can bite through rubber boots with an alarming degree of efficacy. Rattlesnakes strike instinctively when they sense danger… If you can get close enough to a rattlesnake to kick it… the snake will likely bite even if you’re wearing heavy boots… The bite may be better aimed at your leg than your boot… but snakes have no problem biting through thick material.

Snakes with smaller mouths and fangs probably cannot bite through rubber boots… A larger snake with long fangs like a Copperhead can easily penetrate muck boots.Ĭopperheads can bite through heavy muck boots… although they will probably spend more energy trying to get out than attacking the bare flesh of the person wearing the boot. The muck boot you are wearing is probably rubber… And copperheads have been known to bite through things like hoses and hosiery so it wouldn’t take much for them to get through a muck boot if they wanted to.Ĭopperheads are not aggressive but will strike if you step on them or if you come near them when they are eating or sleeping under leaves or rocks. There are many myths circulating about snakes biting through Muck Boots… One of these myths suggests that copperheads cannot bite through leather boots. ![]() The two types of snakes that people worry about the most are copperheads and cottonmouths… both of which are found in the Southeast… Both of these can be deadly venomous… but they are not aggressive snakes… They will only strike if threatened or provoked.

Yes… snakes can bite through Muck Boots… The neoprene used in the boots is extremely strong and durable… but this does not necessarily mean all snake bites can be prevented by wearing Muck Boots. This means they are able to bite through anything that they can wrap their mouths around… including your Muck Boots. Many people believe that snakes cannot bite through Muck Boots because of the thick rubber soles… but this is actually not true… All snakes have the ability to unhinge their jaws at up to 150 degrees… which allows them to swallow prey nearly twice their size.

Under SS7, it is a "state" with a 160 character data, coded in the ITU-T "T.56" text format, that has a "sequence lead in" to determine different language codes and may have special character codes that permit, for example, sending simple graphs as text. SMS forms an integral part of Signalling System No. It was further developed under the leadership of Kevin Holley and Ian Harris (see Short Message Service). The first technical solution evolved in a GSM subgroup under the leadership of Finn Trosby. With Bernard Ghillebaert of France Télécom, he developed a proposal for the GSM (Groupe Spécial Mobile) meeting in February 1985 in Oslo. Almost every time, the messages contained fewer than 160 characters, thus giving the basis for the limit one could type via text messaging. Sitting at a typewriter at home, Hillebrand typed out random sentences and counted every letter, number, punctuation, and space. Friedhelm Hillebrand conceptualised SMS in 1984 while working for Deutsche Telekom. The University of Hawaii began using radio to send digital information as early as 1971, using ALOHAnet. In 1933, the German Reichspost ( Reich postal service) introduced the first " telex" service. In the late 19th century, the wireless telegraphy was developed using radio waves. The electrical telegraph systems, developed in the early 19th century, used electrical signals to send text messages. The sender of a text message is commonly referred to as a "texter" The difference between Apple iMessage and Google RCS is that with iMessages go through Apple's servers and work on iPhones, while RCS goes through Google's servers and works on android. In addition to these universal messaging services, there are two other messaging services exclusive to their own device ecosystems by the names of iMessage and RCS. It may simply be referred to as a "text" in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines, an "SMS" in most of mainland Europe, or an "MMS" or "SMS" in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. The service is referred to by different colloquialisms depending on the region. Advertisers and service providers use direct text marketing to send messages to mobile users about promotions, payment due dates, and other notifications instead of using postal mail, email, or voicemail. Text messages can also be used to interact with automated systems, for example, to order products or services from e-commerce websites, or to participate in online contests. ![]() Like e-mail and voicemail and unlike calls (in which the caller hopes to speak directly with the recipient), texting does not require the caller and recipient to both be free at the same moment this permits communication even between busy individuals. This makes texting a quick and easy way to communicate with friends, family and colleagues, including in contexts where a call would be impolite or inappropriate (e.g., calling very late at night or when one knows the other person is busy with family or work activities). In the 2010s, the sending of short informal messages became an accepted part of many cultures, as happened earlier with emailing. ![]() ![]() Governmental and non-governmental organizations use text messaging for communication between colleagues. Text messages are used for personal, family, business and social purposes. It has grown beyond alphanumeric text to include multimedia messages using the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) containing digital images, videos, and sound content, as well as ideograms known as emoji ( happy faces, sad faces, and other icons), and instant messenger applications (usually the term is used when on mobile devices). The term originally referred to messages sent using the Short Message Service (SMS). Text messages may be sent over a cellular network, or may also be sent via satellite or Internet connection. Text messaging, or texting, is the act of composing and sending electronic messages, typically consisting of alphabetic and numeric characters, between two or more users of mobile devices, desktops/ laptops, or another type of compatible computer.
