![]() ![]() Chemical reactions largely involve atoms or groups of atoms and the interactions between their electrons. In general, electrons are easier to add or remove from an atom than a proton or neutron. The particles within an atom are bound together by powerful forces.Isotopes and ions of an atom with a constant number of protons are all variations of a single element. Varying the number of electrons results in ions. Varying the number of neutrons results in isotopes. Thomsons plum pudding model of the atom had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged 'soup. The number of protons (also known as its atomic number) determines the element.Almost all of the mass of an atom is in its nucleus almost all of the volume of an atom is occupied by electrons.The average size of an atom is about 100 picometers or one ten-billionth of a meter. Electrons can also move between orbitals. Those that lose electrons become positively charged, and those that gain electrons become negatively charged. Technically, an electron can be found anywhere within the atom, but spends most of its time in the region described by an orbital. Some electron shells resemble spheres, but others look more like dumb bells or other shapes. Simple models show electrons orbiting the nuclear in a near-circular orbit, like planets orbiting a star, but real behavior is much more complex. Electrons are organized into shells, which is a region where an electron is most likely found. Electrons move around outside the nucleus.The nucleus carries a positive electrical charge. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. ![]() The mass of a proton is 1840 times greater than the mass of an electron. The mass of a proton is essentially the same as that of a neutron.

![]() If you’re interested in a VPN that offers split tunneling on desktop - and more features in general on both mobile and PC - check out our ExpressVPN vs CyberGhost article. It seems that ’s focus is placed pretty heavily on the mobile app side of things, and even then the options still feel a bit limited. Plus, the servers in each country are lumped together until you click the country name to expand it and reveal all the city-level options. The whole list is organized into continents, rather than being presented as one huge list. On top of this, the VPN’s list of servers is much more usable on the mobile app. Pressing the lock icon at the screen’s bottom will open up a menu with some options regarding trusted networks, but this is also where you’ll find split tunneling. The mobile application, on the other hand, actually has more to offer.įor starters, clicking on the gear icon in the mobile app will give you largely the same options as the desktop client, with the addition of a decent dark theme. You cannot change the protocol, there is no split tunneling and really the only thing you can change is the trusted networks. The desktop client is, for the most part, devoid of functionality. The advanced tab is home to only a single checkbox that says “enable DNS leak protection,” which should pretty much always just be left on. The updates and support tabs are exactly what the names imply, while the advanced tab is something of the opposite. Plus, the alphabetized list contains a mixture of country names and cities, making it pretty difficult at times to find what you actually want.īelow this is an “updates” tab, a “support” tab and an “advanced” tab. Next is the “transporter” tab, which is just a simple server list with no flags and no search bar. Setting this up is a good way to help avoid the dangers of public WiFi. The “networks” tab allows you to set up a list of trusted or untrusted networks, which will let the VPN know when it should or shouldn’t be automatically connecting. The first tab has information on your account, including when your current subscription expires. Clicking on the gear in top right of the tiny main window opens up a much larger one with six tabs on the left. When it comes to the desktop client, its puny window size is a good precursor for what’s in store, in terms of features. There’s a very limited list of features, no choice of protocol or encryption, and even a somewhat questionable privacy policy.Īlthough has split tunneling on mobile, this feature is absent from the desktop client, putting it well behind when compared against a top-tier VPN provider, like ExpressVPN (read our ExpressVPN review). Thus, you won’t find it even in the neighborhood of our best VPN list.Į’s two-week free trial is great, and it’s able to get through to Netflix (for now), but almost everything else about the service was middling at best. The sale should have wiped the slate clean, but, sadly, has remained true to the legacy of Buffered and falls flat in almost every regard. Buffered VPN is a pretty questionable company, with a shady privacy policy and an owner who was involved with both the VPN and a VPN review site at the same time, creating a very clear conflict of interest. This is our first review on our site, although we have covered a company called Buffered VPN, which bought roughly a year ago. MP4 Repair: How to Fix Corrupted Video Files in 2019. ![]() ![]()
![]() Otherwise, an app like ScreenFlow 8 is much better suited for that job. The fact that you can now take video screen captures via the Screenshot interface is a noteworthy addition for those who occasionally need to record their screen. Otherwise, the new utility with its thumbnail preview is a useful tool that can help manage screenshots and allow users to interact with them on the fly. The UI is a nice addition to macOS, but adds a bit of unnecessary friction if you’ve already developed a screenshot workflow that works for you. I imagine that most power users will want to stick to the traditional Command + Shift + 3/4 shortcuts, avoiding the new Screenshot utility interface outright. From there, you can take additional actions on the screenshot like markup, sharing, deleting, or trimming (if it’s a video). Right-clicking on the floating thumbnail will reveal a whole host of additional options, such as saving to a specific location, opening with apps, showing in Finder, Deleting, Markup, or dismissing the thumbnail.Ĭlicking on the thumbnail will present the screenshot in full via Quick Look. You can also drag and drop the thumbnail directly into eligible applications, such as the Mail app or Messages. This will cause the screenshot to immediately save to the default save location. Ou can force-dismiss the floating thumbnail by dragging it to the right. ![]() After about five seconds, the thumbnail will automatically dismiss if you don’t interact with it. Whenever you take a new screenshot or screen capture, you’ll notice a floating thumbnail in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Keep in mind that the macOS Mojave Screenshot utility UI will not show up in any screenshots or screen captures that you take. You can snap it back to its default location by dragging it back near the bottom area of the screen. Users are allowed to reposition the Screenshot utility interface by simply dragging it to the desired location. Likewise, there is an option to show mouse clicks when performing a screen recording. There are also options to disable the floating thumbnail preview in the bottom right-hand corner of the display, and to remember the last selection when using the Screenshot utility again.įor capturing screenshots, there are options to hide or show the mouse cursor. In addition to the screen capture and recording functionality, there are built-in options to alter the default save location, and to enable a countdown timer for taking perfectly timed screenshots. The tool also lets users record the screen just like you can do with QuickTime. The Screenshot utility features handy buttons that allow you to invoke the following types of screenshots via a mouse click: Use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + 5Įither method will open the Screenshot utility overlay, which resides near the bottom of the screen.In Finder, open Applications → Utilities and click Screenshot.There are two basic ways to open the Screenshot utility on your Mac: How to open the macOS Mojave Screenshot utility The Screenshot utility is a brand new tool found in macOS Mojave that allows users to take screenshots using a graphical interface. Subscribe to 9to5Mac on YouTube for more videos Taking Mojave screenshots using Screenshot Utility By adopting this method, users can quickly markup, drag and drop, and share screenshots. Instead, macOS Mojave has adopted an iOS-like system that places a floating thumbnail of the screenshot in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, allowing users to interact with the screenshot before it is saved to the default location. To capture a selected window, press Command + Shift + 4, press the Space Bar, highlight the windows you wish to capture, and click with your mouse or press Return on the keyboard.Īfter a screenshot is taken, you’ll notice that it doesn’t instantly appear on your Desktop as it did with previous versions of macOS.Use your mouse and drag to select the area of the screen that you wish to capture. To capture a selected portion of the screen, press Command + Shift + 4.To capture the entire screen using a keyboard shortcut press Command + Shift + 3.Thankfully, these shortcuts still work in macOS Mojave. If you’re a longtime Mac user, then you’re probably familiar with the default screenshot keyboard shortcuts. ![]() Taking Mojave screenshots using keyboard shortcuts Watch our hands-on video for a walkthrough of macOS Mojave’s new screenshot features. I’ve long relied on keyboard shortcuts for taking screenshots in previous versions of macOS, but macOS Mojave screenshots offer new utility with a graphical user interface. As someone who produces written and video tutorials for the Mac, taking screenshots is a natural part of my day-to-day workload. ![]() ![]() You also cannot upgrade those turrets to dual or quad turrets.

( I just leave a bot in that room by the panel)Ĥ. So early game when things are being built and you're just waiting around doing nothing, send a bot down and start manufacturing at least 1 or 2 goods so traders will visit. I cant verify this 100% but I noticed if I dont manufacture any good then no traders come so i'm pretty sure. I dont believe traders will come visit you unless you have goods available. And yes you can put them on troop transports and send them into the enemy baseģ. To get these you have to buy them from the trader and then head down to the assembly plant and build them ( you have to research the assembly plant first). Thse are basically walker mechs which have way more health then a normal bot. While trading with traders you might notice you can buy Mechanoids. Which I think is a really really nice touch.Ģ. I also found that once you have this researched, building a troop transport wil come with a spider bot. So if you manage to get the spider into the enemy base then you can just teleport bots directly into there base. ![]() This bot act as a mobile teleporter beacon that you can teleport things to. If i'm wrong about anything feel free to call me out on it.ġ.If you build a tele-port it comes with a little spider bot. ![]() Just wanted to share some of the more random things that some people might not know. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() In this mode, it's also possible to switch to fully manual exposure by moving the lens off the A setting and on to the selected lens aperture. I suppose these are the start of the modern day 'Scene modes'.Īs well as the Program modes, the camera also has Tv mode (shutter priority) where the user sets the shutter speed and the camera selects the aperture. Program Wide will keep the aperture smaller to keep more in-focus for landscapes, and Program Tele will keep the aperture wider to make the shutter speed shorter. There are two different exposure modes called 'Program Wide' and 'Program Tele' which alter the selection the camera makes. This is what we would call 'program shift' these days. What is unusual for the time the camera was made is the fact that you can alter the program for particular types of shooting. ![]() The camera has program mode auto exposure, where the shutter speed and aperture are automatically set for the correct exposure - nothing particularly unusual there. I suppose the really novel feature of this camera is the automatic exposure modes it has. As well as an 'A' setting, the 5 blade aperture ring has half-stop click stops. It looks a nicely made lens, with a metal mount and smooth focus operation. The lens fitted to my version of the camera is a Canon FD mount 50 mm f/1.8. A standard hot shoe is fitted above the prism housing, and a tripod bush is fitted to the bottom of the camera in line with the centre of the lens. Power is provided by two AA batteries located in the hand grip and accessed via a small lockable door in the bottom of the camera. There is a power-winder built into the camera, so there is no film advance lever and the whole camera looks quite minimalistic, especially if compared to a modern DSLR. It's a typical 1980s design - quite blocky with push buttons to change the modes and settings, and also quite heavy. It was introduced by Canon in about 1984 and was considered to be an advanced camera in its day, being one of the first cameras to include a microprocessor to control the camera's functions.

Will it contain the extended directors cut episodes too? Many fans will also be hoping that the original English ADV dub will be included, but it seems unlikely (the new dub for the Netflix release was requested by the liscencors). The two original movies would seem likely, as would a soundtrack of some sort. The Blu-Ray will probably be designed by the fine folks at Anime Limited who are known by UK anime collectors for their beautiful (although pricey) special editions of series and films, becoming effectively the Criterion of anime.Īs for what the set will contain (other than the original series on Blu-Ray), we can only speculate. ![]() The two pages are basically identical aside from the company logo (the Australian page is not yet up), so it seems that the UE will most likely be the same across all three regions, too. There is no release date listed as yet, but don't be surprised if it's not before the end of the year. The Ultimate Edition is being released by Anime Limited in the UK, GKIDS in the US and Madman in Australia and New Zealand. The posts linked to a very cool looking page where you can register your email to be notified when you can secure your copy. Presumably, the releases were delayed due to the pandemic. Both companies announced that they were releasing an Ultimate Collector's Edition of the series in 2021 quite some time ago. They were not made to promote the Amazon release of the Rebuild movies, but to instead open pre-orders on the long-awaited Blu-Ray release of the original 1995 Neon Genesis Evangelion series. GKIDS Films in the US and Anime Limited (aka AllTheAnime) in the UK both launched social media posts that fans will have picked up as Evangelion references. It's a pretty good week to be an Evangelion fan in the US or UK, as it turns out. This week the long-anticipated conclusion to the Rebuild of Evangelion film series Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time finally lands, courtesy of Amazon Prime. ![]() ![]() "This Philadelphian rapper's debut album smashes rules we didn't know existed." Snail Mail's songs are moment-to-moment crises that encapsulate the feeling of growing up confident in your lack of confidence, and as well as what it's like to look back on that time later: A wistfulness for when the world was "the same party every weekend." – Eric Gottlieb, WFUV There's no rehearsed-sounding singalong, only wry sarcasm, disarming self-awareness - and, on "Pristine," a tossed off "anyways" after admitting heartbreak.Īs for the sound, "lush" is right: The production is warm, the drums and bass heavy, but they don't overpower Jordan's clear and plaintive voice. ![]() ![]() On Snail Mail's debut album, Lush, Lindsey Jordan makes the music I wish had existed growing up in New York's suburbs: A sort of gauzy reinterpretation of contemplative late-'90s indie rock minus the Dashboard Confessional-era songwriter tropes.

Equally stunning at top volume ("Soft Stud") and in hushed tones ("Indians Never Die"), it's a beautiful, singular collection of songs penned and performed by a voice that cuts through the noise of a cataclysmic world. Her debut full-length, Mother of My Children, draws from Paul's experiences of romantic heartbreak, the death of a mentor and the destruction to the Standing Rock Reservation in the wake of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Inspired by a childhood that included both Swinomish music at family pow-wows and bootleg VHS tapes of Nirvana and Hole, Paul's music is a stirring interpretation of multiple lineages of PNW music, full of emotional depth, looping keyboards and gliding guitars.

Vaccaro worked for Nike, then flipped to Adidas. Though Mick Cronin was a top assistant during the Huggins heyday at UC, he paid his dues working with Sonny Vaccaro of Adidas. They had come a long way since Huggins came to town and wondered why McAlpin's sold Ohio State and Kentucky gear but nothing from UC. To this day, it's rare to go to now-Fifth Third Arena and not see a Jumpman jersey on a fan. It was the pinnacle of the Huggins years when the Shoemaker Center was packed with 13,176 and singer/reality star/ESPN GameDay picker Nick Lachey called for tickets behind the bench. Huggins once quoted they "sold more gear in New York than the Knicks". In addition to the team's style of play and success, players were drawn to the gear. The uniforms became trendy, particularly when the guys sported black tops with black socks.

I can’t wait to have the Swoosh and Jumpman logos join with our C-Paw marks once again.” “To many of our fans, Jordan Brand represents the quintessential jersey of one of the top stretches in the history of Cincinnati basketball, while Nike has proved to be the driving force in athletics apparel innovation for decades. It was important for us to have stability in our apparel provider for years to come and to have a partner solidified as we joined the Big 12 this summer,” Director of Athletics John Cunningham said. “This is a monumental moment for our more than 450 student-athletes and our entire athletic department. The partnership will make BSN SPORTS the Bearcats’ exclusive provider of apparel, footwear, and other equipment needs, which will be highlighted by the outfitting of teams in Jordan Brand and Nike. The Under Armour agreement has been terminated with the Nike/Jordan Brand officially taking effect July 1 but the change is immediate. Men's and women's basketball will be outfitted by Jordan Brand with all other sports being Nike as the Bearcats enter the Big 12. UC confirmed the deal with BSN Sports Wednesday.
