military engineers recorded the voice of a male South Vietnamese national through an echo chamber to invoke the soul of the dead. The various rituals, practices, and beliefs related to spirits and the afterlife, he says, offer a way for Vietnamese people to cope with the lasting impacts of the war. Heonik Kwon, the author of Ghosts of War in Vietnam, argues that ghosts serve as a metaphor for how past memories continue to haunt Vietnamese people in the present, especially those who have internalized the trauma of conflict. In Bao Ninh’s novel The Sorrow of War, the protagonist searches for the remains of fallen soldiers in the “Jungle of Screaming Souls.” When somebody dies and is not offered a traditional burial, they are said to roam resentfully among the living, their soul wandering in pain for eternity. Although Vietnam is officially a secular state, Buddhist beliefs remain commonplace, and there is a shrine in practically every home. ![]() It’s hard to convey the precise terror this track could inflict on the Vietnamese, who to this day maintain a sincere belief in ancestor worship, the afterlife and, in some cases, ghosts. The recording, known as Ghost Tape Number 10, played a central role in Operation Wandering Soul, a psychological operation, or psyop, that sought to crush the morale of North Vietnamese soldiers by weaponizing their minds and exploiting their deepest fears. Yet this frightful counsel came not from beyond the veil but out of loudspeakers operated by U.S. … Friends, while you are still alive … go home! … Go home, my friends-before it is too late.”įor months during the conflict, this spectral voice bellowed fear into the clustered civilian homes of northern Vietnamese villages and over Viet Cong camps at night. Tragic, how tragic! My friends, I come back to let you know that I am dead. The men heard the tormented, grief-stricken cries of a deceased comrade cautioning them against the futility of losing their lives in combat, beseeching them to put down their weapons and return home. And artists with two of their hits frequently appearing in sleeping playlists include Calum Scott, BTS, Harry Styles and XXXTENTACION.During the Vietnam War, as Viet Cong soldiers tried to sleep in the jungle at night, they sometimes heard an anguished, disembodied voice shrieking at them from the afterlife. Capaldi is surpassed as being the most frequent artist in the top 50 by Billie Eilish, who has no less than five slumber inducing tracks featuring in the most popular sleep playlist songs ( lonely, when the party’s over, everything i wanted, ocean eyes and i love you).Įd Sheeran has three tracks feature in the list, Photograph, Perfect and Thinking out Loud. Kodaline, BTS and another Capaldi track complete the top five of most featured songs in sleeping playlists – in fact Capaldi has four songs that occur very frequently in sleeping playlists ( Someone You Loved, Before You Go, Bruises and Hold Me While You Wait). Following close behind is Heather by Conan Gray, a song which Wikipedia even labels a sleeper hit - pun intended! Lewis Capaldi’s 2018 smash Someone You Loved is the most popular song to drift off to on Spotify, featuring in more sleep related playlists than any other track. Sign of the Times – Harry Styles – 120 bpm.Dancing On My Own – Calum Scott – 112 bpm. ![]()

SOFTWARE Is it time for the Linux desktop?īut apart from those elements of eye candy, macOS has gone down a terribly wrong path. Mail is the best email client out there, on any platform, by far - it’s even Exchange-compatible without extra tweaking. The default terminal shell is an eminently sensible zsch. The transparencies, fades, and transitions are all artfully done. Big Sur is also very nicely designed visually. For content creators - the majority of macOS computer users are creative types - what is Big Sur like on the new M1 range of Apple hardware?įirst, the good points: it’s fast - the M1 chip outperforms all but the highest end of X86 desktops, so the operating system creates no lag. That is if the company cares about the basics still at all. The danger with concentrating on being a luxury hardware provider is that the basics get lost along the way. And it shifts new, shiny things by the metric ton - high-end watches, a US$999 monitor stand, and a purple computer it charges a premium for. The iOS App Store still takes 30% of every application’s cover price to allow access into Apple’s walled garden of shiny devices. ![]() Then, by opening the App Store and iTunes Store, it could become a software and media brokerage. Firstly it could be a luxury electronic brand, not a computer company. Since those days, much has changed. But most of all, Cupertino realized two things. The infamous Office Clippy, who always seemed to think you were writing a letter, epitomized the overall experience, which comprised about 40% wrestling with the OS, and only 60% doing any work. Notifications about applications’ needs, system updates, new devices being plugged in, tips, and balloon suggestions: all these required user interactions, if not all the time, then invariably when least convenient. Although the phrase hadn’t been coined at the time, the user experience was distraction-free and task-focused.īy way of contrast, Windows startups comprised of epilepsy-inducing screen redraws and then dropped you into an environment that was disjointed and seemed like something slightly out of control. After that, the computer shut up and left you alone to run your applications. The machine booted with a cheery C Major chord (which arpeggiated if the hardware developed a fault, by the way), a smiley Mac icon appeared, a progress bar zipped across the screen, and you landed on your desktop. On the usability front, classic Macs ran an OS that just got out of your way. And that’s at the crux of why this author, a long-time advocate of the Apple desktop, thinks Apple’s macOS Big Sur is inferior to Windows XP. Pro-level work devices are about creating information: text, imagery, video, and audio - Apple’s key stomping grounds. Apple silicon heralds new era in computer performance raceīut is there an inherent incompatibility between the purposes of an operating system in a pro-level laptop and that on a communication device, like an iPhone?

The St Mark's Clock was assembled in 1493, by the famous clockmaker Gian Carlo Rainieri from Reggio Emilia, where his father Gian Paolo Rainieri had already constructed another famous device in 1481. The most famous original striking clock tower still standing is possibly the one in St Mark's Clocktower in St Mark's Square, Venice. įrom the 14th century, some clock towers in Western Europe were also capable of chiming at a fixed time every day the earliest of these was described by the Florentine writer Dante Alighieri in 1319. In 1235, an early monumental water-powered alarm clock that "announced the appointed hours of prayer and the time both by day and by night" was completed in the entrance hall of the Mustansiriya Madrasah in Baghdad. It is the subject of a book, On the Construction of Clocks and their Use (1203), by Riḍwān ibn al-Sāʿātī, the son of clockmaker. A striking clock outside of China was the water-powered clock tower near the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria, which struck once every hour. The Chinese engineers Zhang Sixun and Su Song integrated striking clock mechanisms in astronomical clocks in the 10th and 11th centuries, respectively. In China, a striking clock was devised by the Buddhist monk and inventor Yi Xing (683–727). The Christian rhetorician Procopius described in detail prior to 529 a complex public striking clock in his home town Gaza which featured an hourly gong and figures moving mechanically day and night. 485–585) advocated in his rulebook for monastic life the water clock as a useful alarm for the "soldiers of Christ" (Cassiod. 285–222 BC) fitted his clepsydras with dial and pointer for indicating the time, and added elaborate "alarm systems, which could be made to drop pebbles on a gong, or blow trumpets (by forcing bell-jars down into water and taking the compressed air through a beating reed) at pre-set times" ( Vitruv 11.11). The Hellenistic engineer and inventor Ctesibius ( fl. The ancient Greek philosopher Plato (428–348 BC) was said to possess a large water clock with an unspecified alarm signal similar to the sound of a water organ he used it at night, possibly for signaling the beginning of his lectures at dawn ( Athenaeus 4.174c). History The Obelisk of Theodosius, detail of the pedestal: Theodosius I offers laurels of victory we can see the water organ of Ctesibius, in the lower right-hand corner. ![]() Simple battery-powered alarm clocks make a loud buzzing, ringing or beeping sound to wake a sleeper, while novelty alarm clocks can speak, laugh, sing, or play sounds from nature. Digital ĭigital alarm clocks can make other noises. In an electronically operated bell-type alarm clock, the bell is rung by an electromagnetic circuit with an armature that turns the circuit on and off repeatedly. In some models, the metal cover at back of the clock itself also functions as the bell. Traditional mechanical alarm clocks have one or two bells that ring by means of a mainspring that powers a gear to quickly move a hammer back and forth between the two bells or between the internal sides of a single bell. Most modern televisions, computers, mobile phones and digital watches have alarm functions that automatically turn on or sound alerts at a specific time. A progressive alarm clock can have different alarms for different times (see next-generation alarms) and play music of the user's choice. Additionally, some alarm clocks can set multiple alarms. Many alarm clocks have radio receivers that can be set to start playing at specified times, and are known as clock radios. Alarm clock functions are also used in mobile phones, watches, and computers. ![]() A classic analog alarm clock has an extra hand or inset dial that is used to show the time at which the alarm will ring. To turn off the sound or light, a button or handle on the clock is pressed most clocks automatically turn off the alarm if left unattended long enough. ![]() Some have sensors to identify when a person is in a light stage of sleep, in order to avoid waking someone who is deeply asleep, which causes tiredness, even if the person has had adequate sleep. Most alarm clocks make sounds some make light or vibration. The primary function of these clocks is to awaken people from their night's sleep or short naps they can sometimes be used for other reminders as well. A traditional wind-up (key-wound), mechanical spring-powered alarm clockĪn alarm clock or alarm is a clock that is designed to alert an individual or group of people at a specified time. The diodes cause a voltage drop before the 13.7 v makes it to the batteries. Sure Power uses diodes to isolate the batteries. The sensing location is INSIDE the alternator. ![]() What happens is that the voltage regulator is measuring the alternator's output voltage to give a correct 13.7 v charge to the system. The Land Cruiser's alternators are not the 'special type' that work with the isolator. I even called several times to ensure I got a different tech to confirm. (Looking at the wiring diagrams for both the 60 and 62's shows the external wiring is the same.) I spoke to Sure Power's tech reps. I spent a lot of time trying to do on a 60 what you are trying to do on a 62. The packaging says it's specially made for Toyota internally regulated alternators.

The latter aside, the interior does feel quieter than before. The six-speed automatic transmission did, however, at times, feel reluctant to shift to a higher gear, which resulted in some engine noise permeating the cabin. The steering feels light though not disconnected, making it a trouble-free task to tilt the thick-rimmed tiller and steer the double-cab in the desired direction. The DAC function made light work of the incline as the double cab descended.įollowing in the Legend 50 lead car’s tyre tracks, I noticed the upgraded Legend’s torsion beam suspension going about its job as we traversed rocks and other off-road obstacles, which included driving through some water and on steep side angles. With the Hilux’s revised nose tipped over the apex of the hill and now pointed downwards, I remove my feet from the throttle and brake pedal (a feeling I admittedly still need to get used to) and left the bakkie to its own devices the only human input required – steering. With downhill-assist control (DAC) activated and a gentle push on the throttle, I steered the Hilux to the peak. Although commendable, there was a definite improvement on the latter bakkie’s setup, with the Legend finding traction quicker.ĭownhill, the Hilux Legend impressed, too. While ascending a steep hill on the off-road course, a Toyota representative mentions the traction-control setup has been updated, too, and showcased how the system has improved in the facelifted model by putting the Legend 50 on the same incline. An animated graphic of the Hilux appears on the standard trip computer’s display. With the press of a button, the Hilux’s engine starts churning. And this should, as Toyota claims, translate to enhanced on-road comfort and refinement as the Japanese firm says these modifications have also resulted in improved NVH levels. Thanks to these revisions, the double-cab Hilux felt more at ease when traversing the rough stuff. In addition to these upgrades, the Hilux has received various under-the-skin modifications, such as retuned coil-spring rates, revised shock absorbers and suspension bushes. Thanks to the increases of 20 kW and 50 N.m in engine output, the Hilux Legend AT now more closely matches its closest rival, the Ford Ranger Thunder (and Wildtrak), which employs a 2,0-litre twin-turbo diesel motor producing 157 kW and 500 N.m. Making do with the same number of cogs, manual models’ torque output, however, remains 420 N.m. DYdPykFMgaĮndowed with an uprated version of Toyota’s 2,8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine, the Hilux now produces 150 kW and, when mated with a six-speed automatic transmission (as with the press unit we drove), 500 N.m of torque, the latter available between 1 600 and 2 800 r/min. The electrically operated roller shutter of the Legend RS 2,8 GD-6 4×4. In addition to this package, Toyota South Africa Motors offers an array of other optional (official) accessories for the Hilux. Currently available on only 2,8 GD-6 4×4 Legend derivatives, the RS accessory package adds a motorised roller shutter, which is linked to the bakkie’s central-locking system a graphite-coloured sportsbar a dust-defence kit and 12 V socket and LED lighting located in the no-cost (on Legend models) rubberised loading bed.Īccessing the latter is a cinch, thanks to the Legend’s easy-lift tailgate. ![]() Although the Hilux’s oil-burner has been tweaked to deliver more power (more on that later), in this case “RS” stands for “roller shutter”. Thank you to Legend Suspensions for producing great products.You’d be mistaken if you thought the “RS” denomination is at all to do with anything performance related. ![]() Thank you to Al Santiago at High Strength V Twin in Harrisburg, Pa. The old adage is "you get what you pay for." With Legend suspension products I got way more than I paid for. I simply turn my head and the bike leans and goes where I look. Cornering in general has exponentially improved. The front drop ins have eliminated the friction point usually associated with low-speed cornering. The improvement in handling, cornering, and ride are amazing. ![]() My wife thought I also put a new softer seat on the bike. The ride improvement provided by the RevoA rear shocks is awesome. The mechanic who suggested then told me "A Legend suspension will change your world." He was right.

![]() I simply hold the color chip up the wood and look at two important things.Įvery wood has two parts, the grain and the sap wood and you have to match both of these to make your color match work which may take a combination of multiple stains. Using their color chip fan wheel I can get a very close approximation of what color wood stain I will need. They have been around for decades and with their recently revamped formula I still get the same 36 color options, but I also get a 2-hour drying time which is a major help in finishing my projects on time. There are a lot of stain colors and brands out there, and ever since I have started I have been a pretty consistent user of Minwax’s oil-based stains. You can read more about the differences between regular and spar polyurethane here. A spar urethane is designed to have more UV resistance and flexibility to resist exterior conditions. On these doors I am using Minwax Helmsman’s Spar Urethane since they will be exposed to the elements. oil-based polyurethanes add a warm amber color to your work whereas water-based polycrylics are perfectly clear and can make the finish seem cooler. You need to know what finish you are using prior to using any stain because some finishes add a bit of color. What are you finishing your project with? Is it oil-based poly, water based polycrylic, wax, oil, etc. Once you’re finished with your sanding use a tack cloth to remove every bit of dust in preparation for staining. Start with a 40 to 60-grit for removal of the old finish and then move to 80-grit followed by 120-grit. Make sure that you work up methodically through each grit along the way to avoid swirl marks or sanding flaws. Keeping your final grit in this range allows for even distribution of the wood stain pigments. I have found that the sweet spot for wood stain is between 120-150 grit depending on the wood. Sanding to too fine a grit will result in wood that may not even be able to take in the pigments efficiently since the openings are too small. Sanding wood too coarsely will create a darker appearance since there are larger pores and a rougher surface in the wood. When using wood stain it’s imperative to sand to the right grit. ![]() The opinions are completely my own and I have been using these products and techniques long before partnering with Minwax for this post. This post was sponsored by Minwax who makes, in my opinion, the best wood stains for historic restoration. In this post, I’ll walk you through five of my best tips and techniques to achieve that perfect color match you are looking for. I’ve worked in historic restoration restoring wood doors and windows for years and if there is one thing I’ve learned it’s how to creatively use wood stains and finishes to get a perfect looking match. Matching an existing wood stain to make sure your work doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb requires a good eye and some careful work. If you’ve got a stained wood project that you need to perhaps repair or refinish and you need to match the stain colors it can be challenging to say the least. |
