ġ3 years earlier, Josef Pallweber had patented the same invention using digital cards (different from his 1885 patent using moving disks) in Germany (DRP No. Eugene Fitch of New York patented the clock design in 1903. Louis World Fair in 1904, produced by Ansonia Clock Company. The Plato clocks were introduced at the St. These spring-wound pieces consisted of a glass cylinder with a column inside, affixed to which were small digital cards with numbers printed on them, which flipped as time passed. Plato clocks used a similar idea but a different layout. While the original inventor didn't have a watch brand at the time, his name has since been resurrected by a newly established watch manufacturer. The principles of Pallweber jump-hour movement had appeared in wristwatches by the 1920s (Cortébert) and are still used today ( Chronoswiss Digiteur). By 1885, Pallweber mechanism was already on the market in pocket watches by Cortébert and IWC arguably contributing to the subsequent rise and commercial success of IWC. Instead of a conventional dial, the jump-hour featured two windows in an enamel dial, through which the hours and minutes are visible on rotating discs. The first digital pocket watch was the invention of Austrian engineer Josef Pallweber who created his "jump-hour" mechanism in 1883.

Meanwhile Vestron retained laserdisc rights (since this was part of the Filmways library, the reincarnation of American-International Pictures) and released in two versions in the '90s, both R-rated: pan and scan and a later letterboxed edition, sapped of virtually all color, which squeezed the entire frame into a cramped 1.85:1 aspect ratio. The uncensored "European" cut of the film surfaced on Warner Home Video in the very early days of VHS, but the brutal panning and scanning destroyed much of the film's effectiveness. Also, one line of Allen's dialogue during the erotic speech in Caine's office was redubbed. The film was shot in 2.35:1 Panavision and recorded in mono, and in order to garner an R rating, several snippets of nudity and latexy gore were removed from the opening shower fantasy, the infamous elevator scene, and the finale. Fans of the Donaggio score were served especially well by the 5.1 mix accorded to the film by MGM, first debuted on their DVD marking the midpoint in a strange history on home video. Both men (and Allen and Gordon) had just come off the low budget student film project, Home Movies, and had obviously recharged their batteries for a full throttle exercise that often approaches the operatic. Best of all is the sumptuous score by Pino Donaggio, one of the finest accomplishments in a criminally underrated career which includes such other De Palma films as Carrie, Blow Out, Body Double, Passion, and Raising Cain. All of the actors seem to be enjoying themselves immensely, particularly during the arch banter between Allen, Gordon, and police detective Dennis Franz, whose laughably huge collars are the only element of the film to suffer with age. The sex and violence are essentially tools for a much larger directorial intent to please the viewer at any cost, and even the triple whammy ending (which could have been infuriating in lesser hands) comes off instead as yet another delicious flourish, the icing on an already sinfully rich cake. At the time the film's combination of erotic visuals and visceral violence was protested by many critics and feminist groups, though the subsequent waves of sexy thrillers have shown just how difficult De Palma's balancing act really was. Nary a second is wasted as the viewer is swerved through New York on what amounts to a dark tour of human sexuality, where few people are what they seem and logic is ignored in favor of immediate sensation. After experimenting with a variety of cinematic techniques like split screen, sound layering, and slow motion, De Palma was finally ready to pull out all the stops with this feverish rollercoaster ride. De Palma at the time) and a mysterious, tall blonde with an unhealthy fondness for straight razors. To reveal more would be unthinkable, but other characters gradually work their way into the storyline, including plucky Park Avenue hooker Liz ( Blow Out's Allen, Mrs. Elliott (Caine), and spends an afternoon at the museum where she engages in an extended bout of flirting with a handsome stranger. While her son, Peter ( Christine's Gordon), toils away in his room on science projects, Kate goes to see her analyst, Dr. Angie Dickinson stars as Kate Miller, a New York housewife whose steamy, violent fantasies offer some relief from her unsatisfying sex life with an inattentive husband. Much of the fun here lies in the insidious surprises tucked into both its plot and cinematic language, on the surface a playful riff on Psycho, as well as visual flourishes found in the foreground and background of the frame in every single scene. Though it received a mixed critical response due to De Palma's perceived cribbing from Hitchcock (which didn't affect a huge turnout from the public), the film has gone on to be considered one of the '80s' most accomplished directorial feats in the horror genre and ground zero for the modern erotic thriller, still sitting high above its many successors. It's difficult to imagine a horror thriller more purely enjoyable than Dressed to Kill, one of the highest peaks of Brian De Palma's career and a gleeful joyride of a film that continues to reward after countless viewings.

Each group of boxes served to test one (potential) nest-site preference, and it did so by giving swarms a choice between one box whose properties all matched those of a typical nest site in nature (e.g., average entrance size, average cavity volume, etc.) and another box (or boxes) identical to the first box except in one property (e.g., entrance size), the value of which was atypical. The boxes within each group were spaced about 10 meters (33 feet) apart on similar-size trees (or a pair of power-line poles) where they were matched in their visibility, wind exposure, and location. More specifically, I set out nest boxes in groups of two, three, or four, with the boxes in each group identical except for one property, such as entrance area or cavity volume. The method I developed for asking the bees about their nest-site preferences was simple: set out nest boxes that differed in certain properties and see which ones were occupied preferentially by wild swarms. At the same time, finding this gap in our knowledge delighted me, for I realized then that my curiosity about the bees’ natural homes had drawn me to a region of uncharted territory in the biology of Apis mellifera. This situation surprised me, because I knew that beekeepers had worked for centuries to design the perfect hive, and I figured they might have looked to the natural living quarters of honey bee colonies for guidance, but evidently they had not. At this point, I turned to surveying the scientific and beekeeping literature for information about the nest-site preferences of honey bees, but I found almost nothing, just one article in a French beekeeping magazine on how to build attractive bait hives for catching wild swarms. It was also possible, however, that the consistencies we found merely reflected what was generally available in tree cavities. Moreover, the regularities in certain nest-site properties that Roger Morse and I had found-in entrance area, entrance height, cavity volume, and so forth-supported the idea that bees have strong preferences in their housing. The long duration of the nest-site inspections made by scout bees suggested that they assess multiple properties of a site to judge its suitability. Related Segment Beekeeping Tips-From Bees! Exactly how a scout bee judges a cavity’s roominess using the information gained from the walking (and occasional flying) movements that she makes inside the cavity remains a mystery. Experiments that I conducted with a cylindrical nest box whose walls could be rotated freely while its bright entrance opening remained stationary-so, in effect, the scout stepped onto a treadmill when she went inside the nest box-have shown that a scout bee judges a potential nest cavity’s volume by sensing the amount of walking required to circumnavigate it. When her examination is complete, the scout will have walked some 50 meters (about 150 feet) or more inside the cavity and so will have crossed all its inner surfaces. While inside, the bee scrambles over the interior surfaces, at first not venturing far inside the cavity, but with increasing experience pressing deeper and deeper into the remote corners of the hollow. While outside, the scout scurries over the nest structure around the entrance opening and performs slow, hovering flights all around the nest site, apparently conducting a detailed visual inspection of the structure and surrounding objects. Her inspection consists of a few dozen trips inside the cavity, each one lasting about one minute, alternating with trips outside. Upon discovering a potential homesite, a scout spends nearly an hour examining it closely. Before Barbie, he’s never really had a reason to get in the studio with Ryan Gosling, for example. Ronson, as one half of the electronic duo Silk City, previously struck Grammy-winning gold with Lipa on their 2018 single “Electricity.” But most of the other appearances on Barbie the Album mark first-time collaborations. Ronson produced “Dance the Night” alongside Picard Brothers and Andrew Wyatt, who co-wrote the song with Lipa and Caroline Ailin. “This Ken helped make a whole soundtrack,” the musician wrote on Twitter. While every version of Barbie is everything, most Kens are next to nothing - but Mark Ronson, who executive produced Barbie the Album, is set on standing out. Instead of confronting failed romances and her burning heart, she puts on the hottest dress in her closet and dances it off while flanked by life-sized perfume bottles. She thinks of her tears as diamonds, instead of an emotional response to anything threatening her perfect life.

Instead, I have to export each ride separately to a file and import them individually. Ideally, I’d just plug in my Edge 800 and watch Golden Cheetah load all the new rides as I do with Garmin Connect and Training Center. And this is the big one – I can’t find a batch load function for my Garmin rides. The majority of the charts are highly esoteric, unexplained and, I suspect, useless.ģ. It crashes all the time, more than any other home-use software that I’ve used on the mac.Ģ. From this spot high on this ridge I have a panoramic view of this entire. While this looks fantastic, there are three reasons why I won’t be using Golden Cheetah very much:ġ. deep purple Lipine yellow mustard pink c over and golden pop pies mingled. You can see, for example, that over 30 seconds I held a power level of at least 400W whereas over an hour the best that I could sustain on this course was 200W. This one, for instance, shows (again over the same ride) the best power level I sustained over different time intervals (x-axis), up to the full ride length:Īgain, you’ll need to click on it to see it properly. Other charts in Golden Cheetah are much more sophisticated. For example, if I wanted to set the z-axis to give my power reading and colour code it by heart rate I could do so. The whole chart can be fully rotated in 3D and the axes can be re-mapped to other variables. The position on the x-y plain tracks the route on the map while the height charts altitude. It’s worth clicking on the picture to see it properly. Here, for example, is a visualisation of Day 1 of last year’s Tour of Wessex: TRIMP Zonal Points metric does just that using the 'trimp k' coefficients as points per minute in each zone, those coefficients are configurable on. If power data present use Coggan TSS, if not and heart rate is present estimate hrTSS according to Joe Friel and time spent in heart rate zones. It’s free and open source and runs on the mac. Just a thought, define a new user metric: myTSS. Yesterday I downloaded Golden Cheetah to see whether this can offer something new. But, it strikes me, both of them leave potential analysis on the table. Garmin Connect is a great tool for picking over the ride data and sometimes I use Training Center to provide another (less slick) way of looking at the same info.

It can go in your pocket with ease, and though it seems like the cartridge is more exposed it is still fully protected by the metal wrap-around piece. The Palm is about as sleek as you can get. I think I’d take the Silo hiking before I’d grab the Palm. To me, it feels like the more rugged of the two. The Silo fits great in your jacket pocket and has a built-in window so you can see the level of your oil. So, as you can see, it really comes down to your own personal preference on size/shape and aesthetics. The Palm fits better in a pant pocket and it has a 550mAh battery compared to the 500mAh battery of the Silo. Now it’s vape time with no further prep needed.Ī lot of people ask “should I get the Palm or the Silo?” The price is the same, but as you can see the Palm is thinner and wider while the Silo is thicker but narrower. The light will stay on while charging then when it’s fully charged it’ll blink 20 times and turn off. The Silo and Palm usually come with a good charge, but either way just plug them into a USB port to charge. Take the M3 battery and M6T combo anywhere you go for killer performance that you can simply dispose of when you’re done. The M6T comes in 0.5ml and it is perfect for a road trip, festival, vacation etc. However, it will take a lot of pressure to put the top on so it can’t happen accidentally. The M6T cartridge is a one-time use cartridge, so once you pop the lid on it cannot be removed. The performance is similar to the larger vapes. It’s great for a trip or a situation where you might not want to bring it back with you. The battery is super slim and ultra-portable. It’s charged with the included screw-in USB charger. The M3 battery comes in several different colours and has a 350mAh capacity which will get you a bunch of hits. Your cartridge is nice and secure when loaded in the Silo or Palm this way and won’t easily detach. The adapters screw onto the bottom of your cartridge and then they snap into the vape and are held in place by strong magnets. The Silo and Palm both include two magnetic adapters and a micro USB charging cable. The CCell cartridges come in 0.3ml, 0.5ml, and 1ml sizes with a variety of mouthpiece options.
