![]() Players have to interpret a set of directions and apply them directly to the way they choose to move their character through the level. While there are on screen prompts near important objects, obvious signs that they should be put to use, Tiny Thief still allows plenty of room for players to make their own mistakes and learn at a pace that's comfortable for them. Players have to interpret and commit some of the steps to memory, especially if they want to maintain a good gameplay flow. Working Memoryīecause players must always revert back to the illustrated list of step by step clues in an effort to learn to specific way each chronological step should be completed. If they get stumped, players can always refer to the in-game walkthrough, which gives hints about the correct order in which to perform specific actions. Players learn how performing a series of smaller steps can help them achieve a larger goal, preparing a route through each level that both gets them the items they need and keeps them from getting caught. Since each stage require players to complete actions in a specific sequence of steps, the game serves as a fun and simple way for kids to practice short-term planning skills. This game is good for kids who need help: Planningĭeveloping a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals. No reading skills are needed to play, and there is little inappropriate content (the cartoon burglar is akin to Robin Hood), making the game suited for children ages 6 and up. When the overall puzzle is solved, players can move on to the next level. There will be some instances where players must key in on certain objects like levers, pulleys, and ladder and use them in conjunction with items that they found scattered throughout the level. ![]() The directions consist of illustrated examples of each objective, but often take some time to interpret correctly. A set of instructions is available at all times to help guide players through each level, depicting exactly how they should interact with the environment. Each stage is set up like a puzzle, and players must figure out what actions must be taken to reach items and avoid detection. ![]() Tiny Thief is a point-and-click game where player must guide a lighthearted, heroic petty thief through various stages, helping him obtain specific items and make it to the exit without being caught. I have the Blue/Black unit, and it fits perfectly (eerily perfectly) with the blue shade of one of my running shirts (third image below).Ĭompared to the original Fit, there are a few other improvements: the neckband is shorter and won't stand as far behind your neck, the earloops and tips are softer, and the rubber material feels nicer. ![]() Two of the models (the Blue/Black and Red/Black) have a color fade look that's lately found in technical and performance gear. It features large buttons with that beautiful reflective coating, but there's also one more sports apparel-inspired design choice. The BackBeat Fit 2100 colors from left to right: Black, Blue/Black, Grey, and Red/Black.Īs with the 3100, the 2100 uses Bluetooth 5.0, is sweatproof and IP-57 waterproof. Plantronics told me this was inspired by sports sunglasses and goggles, and I think the buds do a good job of blending in with that aesthetic. Depending on the angle you look at them from and the amount of light, they can go from bright blue/green to deep purple/grey. If you look closely at the images below, you'll notice something: every earbud has a large button with reflective coating. They do turn on and off when you take them out of the case / put them back in, so you won't worry about that at least. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're used to longer battery life. I had to charge the Fit 3100 after about twelve days. This is an area where the Liberty+ surpass them as sports earbuds - with 48hrs of endurance, I throw mine in my gym bag and only worry about charging the case once every four or five weeks. The buds carry five hours of battery life, with the case giving you an additional ten hours. The Fit 3100 uses Bluetooth 5.0, plus it's sweatproof and IP-57 waterproof. Personally, I would prefer USB-C any day, but it's not a deal-breaker when the rest of the features get it right.I've spend the past couple of weeks with the three models and I'll walk you through them one by one, sharing my thoughts and opinions on each. I know how vocal some of our readers are about this, so I thought I'd get it out of the way first. All three also still use Micro-USB for charging. All three iterate and expand on the Fit's promises: stability, comfort, sound, and value for money. ![]() The Fit 3100 are true wireless sports earbuds geared toward outdoor use, the Fit 2100 is a remake of the original Fit with some improvements, and the Fit 350 is an in-ear option for indoor exercising. If you don't trust me, check out the Wirecutter's comparison write-up: they chose it as their pick for running and said it delivered the best sound for unsealed earbuds.Plantronics has been expanding its Fit line-up since the original, but today, the company has announced three new models to encompass most use cases. ![]() It was the perfect sports headphones and after four years of 2-3 weekly runs and gym sessions, it still looks like I bought it yesterday. But it was the BackBeat Fit that stole my heart. For years, you couldn't see me anywhere without the red BackBeat Go 2 draped around my neck as I listened to podcasts while walking, doing chores, shopping, and more. The company balances quality, sound, and price very well and has produced some of my favorite and most-used earbuds. I've owned and reviewed plenty of Bluetooth headsets over the years, but the brand I keep coming back to again and again is Plantronics. ![]() This is a medium format camera I could go smaller, if I wanted to without worrying about defraction artifacts and that sort of thing, but I'm gonna keep it around in there. So I have full control of my camera, I'm gonna jump over here to aperture priority and close down my aperture a little bit, I'm gonna go down to F8. But even still you can tell that depth of field could very easily be an issue in this camera, or rather in this shot. Switch over to control of the camera, turn on live view and you can see my shot and right away here, though the camera has not been accurately focused. Now I'm gonna open up the main Fuji plug-in. ![]() ![]() I'll then process them, if I wanna add the results or even the original frames to Lightroom later I can. I wanna do that somewhere else anyway, so I'm just using Lightroom to drive the camera and get the images onto my computer somewhere. In its clumsily translated way what it's trying to say is that it's not actually gonna add any of these images to my catalog, this is great because Lightroom doesn't have any Focus Stacking features in it. Save images directly onto the PC storage without registering to the Lightroom. I'm gonna open up some preferences here, there's a very cool preference here. It's $35 or $70 depending on which version you buy and I'm not sure the $35 one has the Focus Stacking in it so you'll wanna check into that. For that, I need a special Fuji plug-in, that plug-in is free for GFX users, there's a fee for XT2 users. Now, Lightroom's normal tethering, can't automatically drive the Focus Stacking feature in this camera. I have this tethered into Lightroom, I'm gonna turn it on. Features show up there and then eventually make it down into the cameras that we use every day. Start paying attention to what's going on at the high end of the market, it's pretty interesting. If you want to know what features might be in the camera that you're using five years from now. And now it's tricking down into the consumer market. But also this is a feature that's been available on high end medium format cameras for several years now. I wanted to show you this feature today, for a couple of reasons, one it's a cool thing that you should know about if you're into macro or landscape photography, anywhere where you want really deep depth of field. ![]() Well Fuji has this same feature in their XT2 body which comes in at around $2,000, I would show you that camera except I'm using it to shoot this video right now. Now this is a medium format camera, you may or may not know that this body is around $6,000 or $7,000 so you may be thinking, that's outta my league you're talking about high-end features that aren't for me. Instead this camera achieves it's focus stacking by simply focusing to different points and it handles all of this automatically. Now it can't move itself forward and backward. As I said, this camera has Focus Stacking built in. It was a rail that could automatically move the camera forward, firing the shutter as it went and it knew how to very precisely make movements of the right distance so that the depth of field of each shot would overlap. If you've seen my Foundations of Photography Macro course then you've seen examples of Focus Stacking, and in that course I used a special Focus Stacking robot. With Focus Stacking you take a series of images focused at different depths to create slices of focus then with special software you can combine all of those into a finished image that has good focus all the way through. This is a Fuji GFX 50S this is a medium format camera that has built into it, a technology called Focus Stacking, although Fuji calls it Focus Bracketing. This week on the Practicing Photographer we're gonna look at a new-ish technology for addressing deep depth of field, whether you're working as a macro shooter or even as a landscape shooter. So as you can see in this image, the front petal is in focus, the rest of the flower quickly drops off into being blurry. At macro distances, like I have here between this macro lens and this flower, it's very hard to get depth of field that goes all the way through your subject, as you get closer and closer to your subject, depth of field gets shallower and shallower. Like most forms of specialized shooting macro photography has its own set of technical hurdles that you have to cross, and probably the biggest hurdle and probably one that you've already encountered if you've even just dabbled in macro photography is depth of field, or rather lack of depth of field. ![]() Supermarine Walrus being launched from the catapult of HMS Bermuda (1943) ![]() ![]() Mustin made the first catapult launch from a ship underway. Ellyson made history as the Navy’s first successful catapult launch, from a stationary coal barge. Ellyson was able to escape from the wreckage unhurt. Ellyson when the plane left the ramp with its nose pointing upward and it caught a crosswind, pushing the plane into the water. Navy had been perfecting an air-compressed catapult system and mounted it on the Santee Dock in Annapolis, Maryland. On 31 July 1912, Theodore Gordon Ellyson became the first person to be launched from the experimental catapult system. Likewise the Wright Brothers beginning in 1904 used a weight and derrick styled catapult to assist their early aircraft with a takeoff in a limited space. Samuel Pierpont Langley's catapult, houseboat & unsuccessful man-carrying Aerodrome (1903)Īviation pioneer and Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley used a spring-operated catapult to launch his successful flying models and his failed aerodrome of 1903. History First recorded flight using a catapult File:Langley1903.jpg 1.1 First recorded flight using a catapult.Within about two to four seconds, aircraft velocity by the action of the catapult plus apparent wind speed (ship's speed plus or minus "natural" wind) is sufficient to allow an aircraft to fly away, even after losing one engine.

During Refueling and Complex Overhaul refits in the late 1990s–early 2000s, the bridle catchers were removed from the first three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. carrier commissioned with a bridle catcher was USS Carl Vinson starting with USS Theodore Roosevelt the ramps were deleted. Navy carriers commissioned since then have not had the ramps. aircraft since the end of the Cold War, and all U.S. The ramps at the catapult ends on some aircraft carriers are used to catch the ropes so they can be reused bridles have not been used on U.S. It consists of a track built into the flight deck, below which is a large piston or shuttle that is attached through the track to the nose gear of the aircraft, or in some cases a wire rope called a catapult bridle is attached to the aircraft and the catapult shuttle. Deck-level view of the catapult track aboard museum ship USS Hornet, with an A-4 in launch position.Īn aircraft catapult is a device used to launch aircraft from ships-in particular aircraft carriers-as a form of assisted take off. The downside is that your files are not accessible from outside of your local network. The benefit of using Windows Workgroup is that you can easily access files and media on other computers within your LAN. Why? Because one of the prerequisites of being a server is that it serves only clients. In this scenario, it is considered a host. Yes, the computer is still hosting the files and making them available to other computers although, technically it is still not a server. With Windows Workgroup, there is no special server software running other than the operating system itself. This scenario is common in home networks where one computer with a lot of hard drive space may host the media files for other computers to access. In a Windows Workgroup environment computers within the network merely access public folders on other computers.

With its attractively designed, full-motion templates, iDVD 2.0 can help novices create polished-looking DVDs with little effort. ![]() The overall usability of this GitX client is great. Every time I'd refresh my history of commits I'd have to wait upwards of 30 seconds for it to finish scanning my log history.Īside from the performance issues on large git projects this fork brings a lot of nice UI improvements. However as soon as my repo grew this fork couldn't keep up. When I first began using GitX (L) my repos were small enough that it ran fine. It was my client of choice until I discovered one big problem this fork has: it runs very slow with large repos. This is one of the more popular GitX forks available. This version is quite minimal in that regard: you can view your history, stage commits, and commit. ![]() To toggle between viewing your history and staging a commit isn't as intuitive as other git GUI clients. Due to the lack of a development cycle the UI has begun to show its age. The last time this version of GitX was updated was on Oct 2nd, 2009. This version is highly stable however it lacks two very important things: features and active development. The first GitX version released was created by pieter on his GitHub account. Here's three of the best forks I know about. Subsequently it has been the source of numerous forks. ![]() GitX is one of the most popular open-sourced Git GUI for the Mac. As I find new git GUIs I will add them to this list, hopefully making a canonical collection of Mac git GUIs. This article is focused on git GUIs for Mac OS X running 10.5 or greater. This is why a git GUI can put the joy back into using git. Even after you learn a few tricks such as git log -graph -oneline -all it remains difficult to really explore your history. Browsing through your history of commits with git log is not efficient. When you first learn git the CLI can be daunting and confusing. Predominately you interact with git from the command line, inputting commands such as git status or git commit to manipulate your repository. It's lightweight and highly configurable, complimenting almost anyone's programming workflow. Git is one of the most powerful and effective revision control systems available. |
