The Fightboard uses a combination of an arrow/wasd cluster at a 20% angle and action buttons following the traditional arcade stick layout but with the spacing of keyboard keys. The Fightboard aims to solve all of those problems. Have you ever been frustrated with fightsticks? Do you want something to use on your desk that isn’t a massive box you have to put away somewhere when you’re not using it? Do you prefer the natural spacing of a keyboard over the finger-stretching traditional arcade buttons?

Apart from that I do also think that the 3 additional buttons are a bit too hard to press for my liking, and I often missed on the buttons when I tried to press them because the buttons are not elevated from the shell itself, but it's the only downside I've found about the keypad (subjective). The only problem I had with the software is that to appoint keys to the extra buttons, you're prompted to choose the key/key-combination from the "KeySettingsPanel" which is shown in a standard American qwerty layout which does not include some of the Norwegian buttons I wanted to appoint to the keys. The software is portable and easy to use. From what Antecer also said, the anti-slip mat should be reusable, and so far that seems to be the case, but I wonder if it will still be usable after washing off dust etc. The anti-slip mat is very effective and as said by Antecer, once you've attached it to a smooth surface it takes some effort to actually pull it back up, and the anti-slip mat left no forms of adhesive on the table after removal. The switches were easy to swap out, and they didn't budge at all while playing. I honestly could not perceive any kind of input lag and the keypad performed on the same level as my usual CM Storm Quickfire TK Red keyboard. The main selling point for me is that the keypad is very light and small which makes it portable and easy to stow away. RGB LEDs is not a necessity as you most likely won't be looking at the keypad while playing, but it's a great addition. The build quality is overall robust, and the appearance is pleasing to the eyes. I've finally been able to try out the keypad, and I must say I'm impressed. ![]()

For years, Sebastian Stan has been a popular fan cast for the role of Luke Skywalker, with the actor even throwing his hat into the ring personally. The similarity is so strong that, amid the (unconfirmed) rumors of a Luke Skywalker series coming to Disney+, some fans think Sebastian. Rising actor Tye Sheridan has got the sci-fi cred, having played Wade Watts in Ready Player One and Ben Goudy in Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, along with a young Scott Summers in X-Men: Apocalypse. But when confronted with the notion of the actor playing Luke Skywalker, other fans. 8 Tye Sheridan Would Give Young Luke An Edge. During an interview with Esquire, the 39-year-old Marvel actor.

They gave former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons the demo to see if he would be interested in joining the band and to distribute the demo to anyone he felt might fit the lead vocal position. After practicing for a while, the trio sent out a five-song demo tape in order to find a singer and a drummer. After a few months, Gossard started practicing with fellow Seattle guitarist Mike McCready, whose band, Shadow, had broken up McCready in turn encouraged Gossard to reconnect with Ament. Gossard spent his time afterwards writing material that was harder-edged than what he had been doing previously. Īment and Gossard were devastated by the death of Wood and the resulting demise of Mother Love Bone. Mother Love Bone's debut album, Apple, was released in July 1990, four months after Wood died of a heroin overdose. In 19, the band recorded and toured to increasing interest and found the support of the PolyGram record label, which signed the band in early 1989. In late 1987, Gossard and Ament began playing with Malfunkshun vocalist Andrew Wood, eventually organizing the band Mother Love Bone. Green River toured and recorded to moderate success but disbanded in 1987 due to a stylistic division between the pair and bandmates Mark Arm and Steve Turner.

Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 in its first year of eligibility. Pearl Jam had sold more than 85 million albums worldwide by 2018, including nearly 32 million albums in the United States by 2012, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. In 2006, Rolling Stone described the band as having "spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame". The band had also sued Ticketmaster, claiming it had monopolized the concert-ticket market, though eventually failed in their efforts. One of the key bands in the grunge movement of the early 1990s, Pearl Jam's members often shunned popular music industry practices such as making music videos or participating in interviews. Their third album, Vitalogy (1994), became the second-fastest-selling CD in history at the time, with more than 877,000 units sold in its first week.

Huli jing have even been known to marry and act as ideal wives to virtuous men. This created the powerful and enduring myth that the fox-spirit must prey on the life-force of men in order to achieve longevity. However, as the fox wishes to have a well-balanced constitution, it naturally looks to gather yang (the male element). In many stories, the huli jing’s accumulation of yin enabled it to assume the guise of woman to interact with the human world. When a fox is thousand years old it ascends to heaven and becomes a celestial fox.Īctor in Legend of Nine tailed golden fox, Tochigi, Japan (Hetarllen Mumriken/ CC BY-SA 2.0 ) Homewreckers or Ideal Wives Guo Pu, a Chinese writer and scholar of the Eastern Jin period (317–420 CE) says that a fox spirit can transform itself into a woman when it is fifty years old and become a beautiful female, a spirit medium, or an adult male who has sexual intercourse with women when it reaches the age of a hundred. Therefore, the huli jing (fox spirit) has an ambiguous nature- that of a trickster striving for spiritual transcendence. Foxes that lack this skill would instead cultivate their physical appearance in order to bewitch, confuse and possess people. Eastern Han Dynasty, 25 AD - 220 AD (G41rn8/ CC BY-SA 4.0 )Ī Qing Dynasty scholar, Ji Yun (1724–1805 CE) writes that the superior fox spirits absorb essence from nature to refine their spirit through skillful meditation and purification in order to attain immortality and divinity. ![]() She is surrounded by a nine-tailed fox, two seated women, a leaping frog, a male attendant, and a three-tailed crow. The Queen Mother of the West sits upon a throne, flanked by Tiger (east, spring, yang) and Dragon (west, autumn, yin). The fox makes a baby-like noise and devours humans. It also describes an animal living there which looks like a fox with nine tails. The book states the existence of a mountain with gold and jade covering its summit. The first known documentation of the existence of the nine-tailed fox is in the book Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas), a compilation of mythological texts from 4th to 1st centuries BCE. Legend has it that these animals’ nocturnal natures give them plenty of yin energy in the yin-yang dichotomy which lends them special powers which they can increase with time and discipline. It shares this honor with the weasel, the porcupine, the snake and the mouse. Within Chinese mythology, the fox is one of five spiritual animal species. The Divine and Seductive Trickster: Huli Jing in Chinese Mythology ![]() However, a different role of the fox was already long evident in very early renditions of the Eastern Asian folklore- that of the seducer. The fox later took on a more sinister role as, due to its blazing red color, it became the symbol for the devil, adding to the fox’ already rather complex characterization. In Scottish mythology, Dia Griene, the daughter of the sun is held in the underworld and is permitted to return to the mortal world as a fox, leading to the fox as a symbol of transformation. The Moche people of ancient Peru often depicted the fox in their art, believing it be a warrior that would use its mind to fight instead of relying on physical attacks. In early Mesopotamian mythology, the fox is one of the sacred animals and a messenger of the goddess Ninhursag. In mythology, the fox usually has a positive connotation. It is generally described as a quick, intelligent and adaptable animal which no doubt led to its importance as a symbol of cleverness in most cultures. The fox plays a wide range of roles in 42 out of the 358 of Aesop’s fables. ![]() ![]() ![]() You are just looking for collections of works by other photographers.

We can drastically simplify this equation by combining many of these terms into what is called the “ radar constant” which is just various aspects of the radar system that usually remain constant or are assumed to be constant with the WSR-88D. The power received by the radar is given by the " Weather Radar Equation" (below), composed of constants and variables. While our weather office and associated Doppler radar covers 10 counties in east central Florida, we can also utilize adjacent and neighboring radars in Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, as well as Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Terminal Doppler Weather Radars (TDWRs) in Orlando, Palm Beach, and Tampa, that we can display in AWIPS. We pull radar data into a computer system called AWIPS ( Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System). The speed of the rotation depends on the operating mode of the radar. During transmission, it is used to concentrate the radiated energy into a shaped beam or in a desired direction. The Radar Antenna’s basic role is to act as a transducer between the free space and the electromagnetic wave sources or receivers. The Radar Pedestal holds the radar antenna ( dish). The NWS Melbourne, FL radar Tower stands 98 feet. Sometimes echoes from intense precipitation or very tall cloud heights in the distance can begin showing up “ weakly” as far away as around 200 miles.ĭoppler Radar: A Look Inside Melbourne’s Radar The WSR-88D can detect most precipitation within approximately 80 miles of the radar, and intense precipitation can be picked up within around 140 miles. The number of WSR-88D’s in the nation, to include Guam and Puerto Rico, is 155. ![]() The remaining 59 minutes and 53 seconds are spent listening for any returned signals. Therefore, the total time the radar is actually transmitting a signal (when the duration of transmission of all pulses, each hour, are added together), is for a little over 7 seconds each hour. By comparison, a typical home microwave oven will generate about 1,000 watts of energy. As the vehicle or train passes your location, the siren or whistle’s pitch lowers as the object passes by.ĭoppler radar pulses have an average transmitted power of about 700,000 watts. Another example of this would be an emergency vehicle or train. An animation illustrating how the Doppler effect causes a car engine or siren to sound higher in pitch when it is approaching than when it is receding. As an object moves away from your location, sound waves are stretched resulting in a lower frequency. With the Doppler Shift, the sound pitch of an object moving toward your location is higher due to compression (a change in the phase) of sound waves. The phase shift effect is similar to the “Doppler Shift” ( or the “ Doppler Effect ”) observed with sound waves. A positive phase shift implies motion toward the radar and a negative shift indicates motion away from the radar.ĭoppler radar sends the energy in pulses and listens for any returned signal. This provides a velocity along the direction the radar is pointing, called radial velocity. By measuring the shift (or change) in phase between a transmitted pulse and a received echo, the target’s movement directly toward or away from the radar is calculated. When the NEXRAD ( Next Generation Radar) WSR-88D ( Weather Surveillance Radar, 1988, Doppler) transmits pulses of radio waves, the system keeps track of the phase (shape, position, and form) of those pulses. Radar has been utilized since the 1940’s and is the most effective tool to detect precipitation.īy design, Doppler radar systems can provide information regarding the movement of targets as well as their position. In addition, the time it takes for the beam of energy to be transmitted and returned to the radar also provides us with the distance to that object. This provides us with the ability to “see” raindrops in the atmosphere. The larger the object, the greater the amount of energy that is returned to the radar. As they strike objects in the atmosphere, the energy is scattered in all directions with some of the energy reflected directly back to the Radar ( RA dio Detection And Ranging).
