![]() Recent phenomena such as the massive wildfires in Australia have convinced them that we should expect more extreme weather events of this sort. They warn that the world is facing a climate change tipping point. Wildfires of this magnitude will only become more common, scientists say. In addition, these wildfires are often fanned by strong, dry winds, known as Diablo winds in the northern part of the state and Santa Ana winds down south. Wildfires in the Golden State are also growing more dangerous with the accumulation of wood fuel in forests, higher population of people, and denser electricity transmission and distribution lines. ![]() The western states experienced some of the largest fires ever recorded by humans.Ĭalifornia, specifically, experiences dry, windy and hot weather conditions from spring through late autumn that can produce moderate to severe wildfires. ![]() In 2020, 58,950 wildfires burned 10.1 million acres, according to the National Interagency Coordination Center. By raising temperatures, melting snow earlier and drying out forests, global warming is adding to the problem in a big way.Īs we enter another wildfire season - which is creeping up earlier and earlier every year - we need to consider the implications of what’s widely expected to be ever increasing levels of devastation from forest fires. Scientists say climate change is one key driver. Last year continued a decades-long pattern that is producing more frequent and more severe wildfires in the West. Unfortunately, this is a trend that is heading in the wrong direction. With hundreds of blazes erupting simultaneously across California, Oregon and Washington, some growing to staggering proportions, the 2020 fire season was the worst on record.

![]() We can install either wooden-framed glass doors or frameless glass wine cellar doors. The team instead used a double-paned tempered glass to prevent this from happening. It can be prone to condensation inside the wine room. Ordinary glass is usually not the best choice for home wine cellars like this one. Insulation Helps Optimize the Cooling System Performance in this Phoenix Wine CellarĬork-forward wooden racking is a great way to add lots of wine storage to your cellar. Annual or semi-annual maintenance visits for the cooling system are recommended to prolong its lifespan. The enclosure of the refrigeration system was designed so that it can be easily removed as a provision for future maintenance. It was a perfect solution, as the cooling system maintains the proper temperature and humidity for wine storage while also remaining unseen and mostly unheard from outside the cellar. The component installed inside this Phoenix wine cellar is called the evaporator and is concealed nicely by the custom-made wooden enclosure. The condenser was placed outside the house. This under stair home wine cellar installed a split-type cooling system in the wine cellar. In fact, it’s barely noticeable from outside the wine storage room. In this case, louvered wooden panels keep the cooling system tucked away out of sight. Installing a cooling system in a home wine cellar under the stairs can be a challenge, as space can be limited and most of our clients want us to hide the bulky machinery. So, it is only practical that an expert should do the heat load calculation for this wine cellar. There’s a big difference between refrigeration in a wine cellar and air conditioning in your room. A Functional Cooling System for the Modern Wine CellarĪ wine cellar cooling specialist performed a heat load calculation in order to select and install the cooling unit in the wine room. Then, it took the team another two days to assemble it in the under stair wine cellar. It’s a beautiful and effective mix of form and function, and our client was extremely pleased with how it turned out.Ĭrafting the custom wooden wine racks took about 10 to 12 weeks to be finished. For this wine cellar, the racking system features reveal rows, single bottle cork forward racks, and wine shelving. ![]() Our goal is always to balance the capacity and aesthetics in every wine racking system - modern or traditional - we build for our clients. The espresso stain matches well with the dark handle and dark frame of the glass doors. They then applied an espresso stain to it, which helps preserve the wood while giving it a dark and luxurious hue. For this project, the team used oak for the custom-made wine racking. The client wanted wooden wine racking for the wine cellar. Various wine racking styles in your wine cellar allow for lots of flexibility in storing different wine bottles. Jason’s team of experts installed the cooling system with precision so that it will serve well for years to come. For this home wine cellar, a commercial-grade split system was the perfect fit. Building an efficient residential wine storage room requires installing a sizeable cooling unit. So, an estimate helps to make things clearer and get both the client and the design team on the same page. Most of our clients are not familiar with the process involved in constructing wine cellars under stairs in a home. Jason gave the client a ballpark figure on what this wine cellar project could cost. And from there, they finalized the design for the custom wine cellar. Jason discussed the photos with the client and talked about what would work well within the home, as well as ideas that might not be as effective. These are very helpful to Jason and his team, as they help the custom wine cellar designers clearly see the vision of what the client wants for their home wine cellars. He also shared inspiration photos of other under stair home wine cellars he had found online. The client contacted Jason and gave the dimensions of the area under the stairs.

The high-capacity Photosmart 7515 ink cartridges offer about twice the page yield, making for a lower cost per page. The system utilizes 5 HP 7515 ink cartridges instead of the standard 4, with an extra "photo black" printer ink adding deeper blacks to photos. It also handles more mundane tasks such as aligning print heads and monitoring the status of HP 7515 printer ink.įor an inkjet, the cost of Photosmart 7515 ink compares well with other models. Using the intuitive interface, however, users can also access the app store to download a number of free apps that can add a variety of functionality, from printing Facebook photos to browsing and printing coupons. ![]() The touchscreen is one essential component to the ePrint platform, as it controls the functions of the machine directly. The other factor is the large touchscreen, which measures 4.33 inches diagonally, and is the largest in the series. Part of the reason for its extra size is the inclusion of an automatic document feeder for scanning and copying many pages at once, up to 20 sheets at a time. It unit is very compact, though it is a bit larger than previous series, measuring 8.6x17.9x17.7 inches. The device can print at ISO-rated speeds of 13.5 pages per minute in black and 9 pages per minute in color. It includes ePrint technology that includes support apps and other methods for printing from almost any device, and even from a remote location. Buyers who want a multifunction inkjet that can work well with all of these devices will appreciate the HP Photosmart 7515 e-All-in-One. ![]() ![]() Consumers are using an increasing number of devices in their everyday lives, from PCs and laptops to smartphones and tablets. ![]() ![]() The soundtrack can be a little strange at times, with oddly inappropriate tunes chosen for specific characters (Professor Grabiner is a flamenco dancer?), and the character design as a whole tends to be more than a little androgynous, but on the whole it's a very cheery, bright game with a lot of visual appeal. ![]() The writing is actually really good, and the characters pretty darn likable and interesting across the board. It's such a streamlined experience that it's a snap to jump into and find yourself engrossed before you know it. Stress, a statistic common in these games, is also a breeze to manage and usually only needs a nap every other week to keep in check. If you can't figure out how to escape, you can click the button to give up and the game will still proceed, but you'll find you've failed for doing so.Īnalysis: Where Magical Diary succeeds where other games in the genre fail is by bringing a lot of the story events to you rather than relying on luck to be in the right place at the right time to trigger a story scene, most happen on their own either after or before class so that you never feel like you're missing anything. Just keep an eye on your health and mana if the former runs out you'll fail the exam, and if the latter runs out you might find yourself stuck. Which, depending on how you've spent your time studying the different colours of magic, can be very different for each player. Closely resembling escape games in their structure, each exam is different, but usually has the same basic structure your goal is to find your way out, dealing with the various objects in your path in whatever way you see fit. Throughout the year, you'll have to take a number of exams, which are less pen and paper and more "stick you in a dangerous place and wait for you to think/magic your way out". You can save your game at any time, and the game offers so many slots you'll really want to take advantage of it to revisit choices you might wish had gone differently, or challenges you failed. Different classes grant you different spells the more time you spend with them, so you'll definitely want to apply yourself more often than not. At the start of each week, you'll have to choose your classes or activities for each day there are five different magic classes to choose from, each of which focuses on a different colour, or you can choose to study, sleep to remove stress, or even go to the gym to work out. ![]() The game encompasses one year in your new life at the school, and gameplay is made up of classes, exams, and social interactions. Trust me when exams roll around, you're going to need them. Make friends and enemies, join a secret society or find romance, or just concentrate on your studies and expand your repertoire of spells. Sound familiar? While this visual novel/ RPG/ life simulation may take a lot of structural cues from the Boy Who Lived, passing it off as a shameless clone will only do it a disservice and have you missing out on an extremely enjoyable adventure.

No matter which of these mics you prefer based on these audio samples, it is very unlikely you will ever be asked to record MY voice in MY room. Through headphones (Sennheiser HD650s), the differences are more apparent: the noise floor, the amount of room sound, the detail of the high frequencies, and the shape of the mids all come through.īut let’s be clear about something: every voice is different, and every room is different. When monitoring these files over nearfields (mine are Mackie HR824s), the differences between the condenser tracks seem fairly subtle. ![]() If you don’t have a relatively quiet space, your voice recordings will be better served by a dynamic mic. But this is potentially another problem with using condensers for podcasting - they’ll “hear” your computer fan, the HVAC, and your neighbor’s television. This is one of the reasons I tend to prefer dynamics for this application.Īlthough a few tracks contain audible noise, none are noisy enough to cause problems. ![]() □Įvery one of the condensers in this test picked up more clicky mouth noises than the dynamic mic. (I strongly recommend this book you’ll be hard-pressed to open to any page and not learn something.) I used the same excerpt in The Ultimate Podcasting Mic Shootout, facilitating comparisons to the best dynamic mics in the world.īefore you click the button to see which mic was which, ask yourself if you heard the RE20 that I snuck in there for comparison purposes. The audio sample is an excerpt from Mixerman’s awesome book, Zen and the Art of Mixing. The original 24-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV files were converted to 320kbps mono MP3 via lame. Gain was set to produce consistent RMS levels in Pro Tools during tracking levels were later fine-tuned prior to output. The preamp for all tracks was channel 1 of my BLA-modded Digi 002 Rack, with the high-pass filter engaged. I used a dual-layer nylon pop filter in all cases. My working distance was 10 inches for all mics. Any pads or filters on the mics were disengaged. Each mic was set up within my RealTraps PVB to minimize room reflections. (To find a full description, specifications, and sale prices on any of these nine microphones, click the appropriate thumbnail images in the table below.) It is a no-frills mic, with a simple ring mount, no pad, no filter nonetheless, some claim it is the best $99 microphone on the market, and proponents use it daily for vocals and acoustic guitar. The Audio-Technica AT2020 is the first-generation version of the AT2035 both are electret condensers, although the AT2020 has a smaller capsule. It is the only multipattern mic in this test. It ships in an oversized, padded plastic case with both a ring mount and a shockmount. ![]() It has a -20dB pad, a high-pass filter, and a continuously-variable pattern selection switch. The CAD Audio M179 is a remarkable bargain at its common street price of under $150. To these, we’ve added two from my personal collection: However, if you’re shopping for a multi-purpose “studio workhorse” microphone, which would be tasked for everything from podcasting and voiceover to instruments and sung vocals, then by all means please read on for a blind listening test of nine top-selling condenser mics. Even better, see the more recent (November, 2012) shopper’s guide, RecordingHacks Editors’ Choice: Podcasting Gear. ![]() Strongly held biases (plus over 50 years of broadcast history) require the following disclaimer: if you are shopping for a dedicated voice/podcasting microphone, I encourage you to visit The Ultimate Podcasting Mic Shootout, which features numerous mics that I feel are better suited to podcasting than any of the inexpensive condensers listed below. Here in Part II, we’ll hear these mics - and a couple more - in a podcasting test. We recently surveyed seven entry-level condenser mics on vocals, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar cab, in part I of The Best $200 Condenser. In the ODE problem discussed before we have two initial conditions (velocity and position at time \(t=0\)). ![]() In most physical problems these are boundary conditions, that describes how the system behaves on its boundaries (for all times) and initial conditions, that specify the state of the system for an initial time \(t=0\). Drucker writes: The more concisely and clearly. This boundary condition supplies a fixed gradient condition, such that the patch values are calculated using: zeroGradient. Drucker reminds us to state the boundary conditions concisely. ![]() this is done in many type fluid problems, a common example being the 'Lid driven Cavity Flow' while using the SIMPLE Algorithm. For example, if the equation involves the velocity, the boundary condition might be the initial velocity, the velocity at time t0. But as pressure boundary conditions in such cases go, one can give it virtually any pressure distribution at t 0 and it will evolve in time accordingly. We need additional conditions, that reduce this freedom. Define the Boundaries for the Decision Concisely. Boundary Conditions The boundary conditions on a differential equation are the constraining values of the function at some particular value of the independent variable. The problem is that without additional conditions the arbitrariness in the solutions makes it almost useless (if possible) to write down the general solution. What is Boundary Conditions Definition of Boundary Conditions: The conditions that are satisfied on the boundaries of the spatial domain of the problem. These boundary conditions not only guarantee stable difference approximations, but also minimize the (unphysical) artificial reflections that occur at the. Generalized boundary conditions (GBCs) for electromagnetic surfaces are investigated in this paper, which can be used to analytically characterize field. Boundary conditions are values of the solution to a differential equation that are defined at the boundary of a system. ![]() This was really getting me nuts, every f**** time that damn app open, while I don't asked for it.
