![]() ![]() This sort of classification rules out methods like hydroelectric, which have been around for over a century and are therefore quite common to certain regions of the world.Īnother factor is that alternative energy sources are considered to be “clean”, meaning that they don’t produce harmful pollutants. On the other hand, the term is also used to refer to what are currently considered to be non-traditional methods of energy – such as solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and other recent additions.

On the one hand, the term can refer to forms of energy that do not increase humanity’s carbon footprint. Naturally, there is some debate as to what “alternative energy” means and what it can be applied to. But just what is alternative energy, and what is the likelihood of it becoming mainstream? Definition: And thanks to improvements in technology and production, the costs of most forms of alternative energy has been dropping while efficiency has been increasing. While most concepts for alternative energy are not new, it has only been in the past few decades that the issue has become pressing. Thanks to the threat of Climate Change, and the fact that average global temperatures continue to rise year after year, the drive to find forms of energy that will reduce humanity’s reliance on fossil fuels, coal, and other polluting methods has naturally intensified. In recent years, alternative energy has been the subject of intense interest and debate. ![]()

![]() Its very good for the people who get distracted more. I use this technique to help my productivity: I set breaks, say five min per hour, and only talk, browse or otherwise distract myself in these set times. Interesting, I came to this article because I was actually looking for something to distract me from a very boring assignment that I am currently working on. There are lots of free online noise generators. If I am really having trouble, I will turn on some white noise so that way I can't hear the conversations as well. If I can hear other people's conversations, then my mind automatically tries to zero in on that rather than my task at hand. The background noise thing is huge for me. Everyone hates me but I get my work done. If someone asks me a question I mumble, never make eye contact and always keep looking at my monitor. Here's a free white noise generator if you don't want to spend any money. I use it to work from home, as well as to sleep in a noisy flat. I'm with you.Īnyway, I agree with tip #6 who suggested white noise. I'll admit, I laughed out loud at some of those comments. If anyone would have told me that this experiment would turn out like this, I think I wouldn't have believed him/her.Īnyway, I will keep the experiment up for a little longer to see what will happen. In the evenings I find myself going earlier to bed, and sleeping longer. Ends up I will fire up more often Facebook, read news or think more about various things. ![]() At work my productivity is more or less the same, even that I have stopped chatting. I am even more lazy/unsuccessful than I was with distraction/chatting. Turns out that I haven't even started one of those private projects I was hoping I would. My hope was that when not chatting anymore I will be able to stay more focused to getting things done, especially those which I thought I couldn't finish because I am too distracted by chatting and things like that. Also at home, I haven't chatted for 10 days, neither in the evenings or at the weekend, with the target/hope to be more productive. I did a self experiment: 10 days ago I said to myself, stop chatting, disable IRC, ICQ, Skype etc to get your work done. i try to understand that is their nature of being rude and disrespectful. that's very distracting and very rude but i don't know how to stop them being ignorant and disrespectful. I work at a place where other co-workers are chatting and laughing too loud. Like mentioned in the end of this post, by really focusing on what you do and "being in the moment" you can come a long way. To make this a positive outcome for both employers and employees, it’s crucial that remote employees learn to work effectively and without distraction.Identifying your biggest distractions is a great first step to take control and stay focused. ![]() Whether the necessity to work remotely lasts a couple more weeks or several more months, many companies may discover the arrangement works well and decide to continue their work-from-home policies indefinitely. Whether or not it’s the ideal working situation, unprecedented numbers of Americans are working from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The key is to have a plan in place to effectively manage childcare responsibilities while setting boundaries to ensure these responsibilities have minimal impact on productivity. For those with school-aged children, having those children at home adds another challenge in terms of staying focused and avoiding distractions.ĭepending on age and maturity, these children may need more or less supervision. The current impetus for many to work from home is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has also led to school closures. This can also be a great way to schedule regular breaks. A daily and weekly calendar can be a great tool for keeping track of necessary tasks and scheduling work throughout the day and over the course of the workweek. ![]() ![]() Whether you’re just starting out in UX design or have already spent some time in the field, this is one of the sites you’ll be tempted to check daily.

As more and more companies begin to push their employees back into the office, there’s a corresponding amount of counterpressure from workers who aren’t in favor of resuming the commuting lifestyle.Īnd with good reason: just before the pandemic hit, US workers spent an average of 200 hours (or 9 days) commuting every year.įortunately, UX designers tend to be in high demand within the ever-growing hub of companies that are embracing a modern, fully-remote work environment … you just have to know where to look. ![]() ![]() ![]() During the heat of battle, your thumbs naturally drift away from these inefficient buttons and the tank grinds to an aggravating halt. Instead of using the obvious (and far superior) option of driving the tank and aiming the turret with the accelerometer, there are some small and badly positioned arrows around the edge of the screen for forwards, backwards, left, right and fire. There's an option to switch to a top-down view, but this doesn't help much since the view is again stationary until your tank reaches the very edges of the screen, only to be greeted by an enemy bombardment from a metre away that you previously couldn't see. ![]() This makes surveying the levels not only difficult, but quite irritating, since enemies hardly suffer from the same handicap. Being as this is a slick 3D game, it's something of a jarring experience to see the camera fail to track and pan along with the vehicle or turret. ![]() Issues with the controls and camera angles cause the game to breakdown, however. There's never any real shortage of tanks to shoot or lorries to plunder for fuel and ammo. Despite the unimaginative landscape, it's impressive to see how much has been squeezed into a single megabyte. When required, you can switch from controlling the tank to aiming the turret, allowing for more precise targeting. It rarely changes much beyond rocky fields of peaks and troughs, with a river at one end which tests your shelling abilities before moving on to the next round. The diversity of terrain, aside from the actual topography of the landscape, is rather disappointing, however. Brilliant programming ensures the game runs smoothly with your tank up to full speed. Trundling over the undulating 3D environments is a joy. The levels are admirably simple, requiring you to clear the area of enemy tanks so your troops can advance to the next sector. The Allied and Soviet armies advance on Germany from either side, while the Germans attempt to break through the East and West blockades. Tank Ace 1944 places you in the driving seat of a World War II tank on one of three sides: Allied, German or Soviet. The lack of effort to get the most out of the device, however, smacks of apathy and disinterest, especially for a full price game. Not to say that Tank Ace 1944 is a poor game – far from it. The bad news is this is a pixel-perfect conversion of a format that doesn't boast motion sensitive controls, and therefore finds itself seriously lacking on the iPhone. Instead, this iPhone conversion of the oft-ported portable adventure lacks firepower. ![]() With Tank Ace 1944, that expectation is unfortunately not met. Any lack of accelerometer-driven interaction is noticeable by its absence. iPhone games have only been around less than a month and already we're expecting a lot of the handset. Note: RESETgame does not condone invasion of other countries and cannot accept liability for such an event.How fickle we gamers can be. Enemy trucks carrying rounds, fuel, and armor. Three tanks: Sherman, Tiger, or T34, each with movable turret and cannon. Play one of three aces: Allied, German, or Soviet. Either way the brass will want to have a talk with you. The game ends when you take the enemy capitol, or they overrun yours. If you wipe out the enemies you will advance one sector, retaining any excess supplies you have scavenged. If you run out of fuel or armor, or for some reason drive your tank into the water, in addition to an untimely death you will be forced to retreat one sector. The last three can be replenished by ramming (not shooting) an enemy truck. Skills you will need to accomplish this are a working trigger finger, the ability to navigate west or east, and driving ability sufficient to crash into other vehicles.Ī status panel shows the number of enemies left, rounds remaining, fuel, and armor strength. The goal of each round of play is to clear the enemy from a map sector and drive them off the far bank of a river so that your side can cross and advance. But since you face overwhelming odds and are forced to scavenge supplies as you go, you might just find yourself retreating instead. At least that's what the orders from HQ say. Allied and Soviet Tank Aces advance on Berlin German Aces advance on London and Moscow. In the game you command a World War II tank charging to occupy the enemy capitol.

Then Brown reported that Bible schools in the West followed a shorter, more narrowly Bible-focused curriculum pioneered in 1900 (a year before Boville) by Howard R. Each child paid one dollar to register, and the American Bible Society provided Scriptures to those who didn’t already own a copy. Miles started an interdenominational summer Bible school in Hopedale, Illinois. Four years before Hawes’ beer hall school, the wife of a Methodist pastor named D.G. Meanwhile, Midwestern churches had been conducting their own VBS experiments, apparently independent of Hawes and Boville. (The patriotic element went back as far as the Montreal precursor, according to Eavey.) Rev. Writing his history of religious education the following year, Arlo Ayres Brown reported that vacation church schools in eastern North America tended to last five weeks and include a mix of Bible lessons (aided by cutting-edge teaching technology like the stereopticon), worship, music, open-air games, “expressional activities” like sewing, weaving, basketry, and hammock-making, and talks on patriotism and hygiene. Other denominations followed suit, and by 1922 there were 5,000 such schools. The Presbyterian Church’s Home Mission Board adopted the VBS concept in 1910, with the Northern Baptists doing likewise five years later. The program soon spread to Philadelphia and Chicago, and Boville established a national committee in 1907. ![]() In its second year, with Boville’s program of “unsectarian” Bible lessons doubled in size, the New-York Tribune reported in cringeworthy detail on the ethnic diversity of the 1,500 students:Īmong the pupils have been almond eyed youngsters from the Chinese quarter, dusky skinned girls and boys from the Abyssinian Church, in Waverly Place, and little Italians from the lower part of the city. ![]() That Progressive Era concern for the effects of urbanization and immigration was central to the early history of VBS. Still, he remembered working “ hard that summer, dealing as best I could with the boys and girls off the streets.” Likewise, Hawes had aimed her Bible school at immigrant children on New York’s East Side. The experience probably taught me more than it did the children I am sure that it did not do them the harm it did me.” Newly engaged to his future wife and preparing to start his studies at Union Theological Seminary, Fosdick remembered himself being “over-stimulated, keyed-up, kindled by the marvel of a successful love, the excitement of the city, and the almost unbelievable fruition of my hopes for a chance at a great university.” But he “ was thankful that no one could visualize what went on that first summer. (I’m trying to imagine the man who preached “ Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” wearing a bright green shirt and leading a bunch of eight-year olds in a Yancy singalong…) In his 1956 autobiography, Fosdick recalled being honored as a “pioneer” of VBS. The most famous of these first VBS volunteers was Harry Emerson Fosdick, who got the job via a college frat brother. When he started his experiment in 1901, Boville staffed five summer schools with idle university students. ![]() Harry Emerson Fosdick – New York Public Library/public domain ![]() Reed and Ronnie Prevost, “similar to that of Raikes in Gloucester, that children of New York be given religious instruction during their idle summers to keep them out of trouble and develop patterns for productive and upright adult living.” Or as Eavey put it: “The vacation church school was started to gather idle children into unused churches where unoccupied teachers might keep them busy in a wholesome way in a wholesome environment.” Boville, executive secretary of the New York City Baptist Board of Missions. The program moved back near the beer hall the following year, Hawes’ last at the church, when she ran seven separate schools.īut it was another Baptist from the same city who is most frequently credited with founding the “vacation church school” as we would recognize it: Robert G. Eavey traced the idea back to Boston just after the Civil War, but it’s generally agreed that the first VBS antecedent to be held as a summer church-run activity took place starting in 1877 in Montreal, Canada. Then in 1898 Eliza Hawes, the children’s ministry director at New York City’s Baptist Church of the Epiphany, organized an “Everyday Bible School.” Originally held at a rented beer hall, attendance plummeted in 1900 when Epiphany’s pastor insisted on relocating to the church itself. In his 1964 history of Christian education, Wheaton education professor C.B. VBS programs were 6-7 weeks long… and I suddenly felt so very weary. Researching an post, I learned that early 20th c.

Today’s Recipe: Maple Glazed Slab-Cut Bacon The Walnut Turtle Pie with house-made caramel, walnuts, and chocolate, all baked in a chocolate pie crust, was the perfect sweet ending to our evening. My husband and I both ordered the dry aged prime ribeye steak – USDA Prime and Certified Angus beef – aged a minimum of 21 days which was cooked to my idea of perfection, medium rare. I could have eaten the whole serving but remembered it was polite to share. Oh Flemings, you understand bacon so well.įleming’s signature potatoes, their house specialty, are laden with cream, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese.

The clutch and band specs depend on the transmissions original application, but the consensus is that the bigger the original engine, the stronger the transmission is. Novak Conversions, who specializes in adapters for Jeep drivetrain conversions, claims the TH350 is the shortest and strongest automatic transmission than can be adapted into a Jeep. Despite this flaw, the TH350 is extremely popular and can be affordably built to handle tremendous abuse. The problem is easily fixed during a rebuild thanks to improvements developed by the aftermarket. Its Achilles heel is the excessive end play between the fluid pump and center support structure, which allows the direct clutch drum to wobble back and forth slightly. It's been a year since I did it, but that's how I remember it.The TH350 is a minor downgrade from the TH400 - as a general rule of thumb, the TH350 was GM's small block transmission, while the TH400 was reserved for big block engines. I found that a large, long bolt (like a 3/4" or something) will thread tightly into the inner diameter of the plug, and you can slide a plate over the bolt before threading it in and hammer it all out. ![]() One other tip about removing the plug from the rear of the crank: I've read on forums that you should NOT use the trick of driving grease into the space behind plug in order to force it out, because crank damage may occur. It's just there to keep the torque converter pilot centered. It should not push the converter any farther away from the crank. ![]() Remember, the spacer people talk about is NOT a spacer. This allowed the cup to sit in the back of the crank like it should without pushing the torque converter away from the crank. I had to remove it with a homemade slide hammer setup that I made with a large bolt. On my 5.3 from a 2006 truck, there was a plug in the back of the crankshaft that looked like a freeze plug. You can probably get the same kit from other vendors. Regarding the flex plate, I'm not sure about GenIII stuff, but if you're running a 5.3 or 6.0, you'll need a dished flexplate and pilot cup for the torque converter snout (Advance Adapters part #712500A). ![]() It might run a little more efficiently with a VSS for better mileage (?). Mine runs like a top without a lick of hesitation, ever. I'm not sure what you mean by "runs better". I have the pin number for the ecm fan ground somewhere if you need it, so you can just run the ground wire of that control circuit to that pin. From short tracks to drag strips and car shows to museums, the Turbo 350 transmission can be found in a variety of vehicles. Just ask Wayne to turn on the fans when he does the tune, and tell him what temperature you want the fans to turn on at. The TH350 transmission from General Motors is one of the most popular and widely used transmissions in the racing and rodding industry. You can get rid of your extra thermal fan switch because the ecm has a pin that activates the cooling fan relay at whatever temperature you set it to. Just passing it along to anyone who does the swap. Not having a scan tool, I went through 2 weeks and $200 worth of guessing and trouble shooting to figure this out. 6.0 and 5.3 O2 sensors are different and non-compatible with the other engine. Yes, the 6.0 harness will work, but you will have to cut the O2 sensor connectors off of it and splice wires into 5.3L O2 sensors. The connectors for the O2 sensors are different from one to the other. Get a 5.3harness for a 5.3 engine, if you didn't already get a harness with the engine. ![]() |
