Swiss wood work clock7/22/2023 The windows in the modules refer to the traditional cuckoo going in and out of its window. Once they are folded, the four three sided modules can form pairs in order to take as little space as possible. The folding principle of the modules is made in such way that the inside door of the thick walls can only be reached in the folded position. We decided to keep the hinges visible so that once unfolded the modules can still show their folding ability. When the module opens, the two panels join and the parts that endured transport are placed against one another so that only the clean part can be seen. When a module is folded, those two panels are deployed on both sides of the thick walls to protect them. The third wall of the modules is made of two panels joined together and has a protection purpose. We were then able to reduce the wall thickness of the two other modules to fourteen centimetres, since their sole purpose was to insure power supply. By working with 3D software to precisely plan the arrangement of the 24 boxes in the walls, we managed to make them all fit within four thick walls, that is to say two modules. Indeed some of the cuckoos are not mechanical and require electricity.ĭuring transport, all the cuckoos are separated in boxes that can be placed inside fifty centimetres thick walls. The two thick walls are hollow and include the power supply for all the electric cuckoos during the exhibition. We then adjusted different parameters such as: height, width, position and size of the shelves and windows.Īll the modules (except for the introduction one) are composed of two thick walls and one wall made of two wood panels. We created families of six cuckoos that would be displayed together, on the same module. We took into consideration the following criteria: electricity, display height, size, sound and associated objects. We chose this set-up for aesthetic but also technical reasons. We carried out an important work on how to place the 24 cuckoos, knowing that each module was showing six cuckoos, with two cuckoos per wall side. Project ImagesĮxcerpt of the distribution document for the 24 cuckoos Project DetailsĮach module of this scenography is unique, and was custom-designed for this very eclectic cuckoo series. Thanks to a system of double panels that can turn inside out, there is no need to over protect the folded modules for their transportation.Īll in all, designing this scenography was about finding the right balance between an atmosphere bringing together tradition and contemporary design, and answering to this very technical issue of an all-in-one itinerant scenography. All the folded modules can be placed on palettes, using very little space during transport. Once folded, two of the modules are used to host the cuckoos in the thickness of their walls. The result is foldable three sided modules using hinges that also take an esthetical part in the project. The foldable principle and the transport have been main considerations in the project and have had a big influence on the final shapes of the modules. They can enjoy the sounds produced by all the clocks. The modules also have openned ans closed windows in the same manner as traditional cuckoos do.īy adding those different house shaped walls in the space, the exhibition becomes a small cuckoo village where the visitors can freely wander. We decided to work with non-painted poplar wood usually used in the crafting of traditional cuckoo clocks. ![]() ![]() The chalet has also been a point of reference for choosing the materials. The design of the five wood modules of this scenography is inspired from the shape of the chalet, which is the main figure of traditional cuckoo clocks. This scenography is focusing on both the technical aspect of a foldable display and the creation of a set associating Swiss cuckoo clocks' tradition with their new design possibilities. The exhibition has now opened in Montreal and will then travel in various countries across the world, including Singapore and the United States. The main challenge was to design a display for the clocks that could also become a transportation case for the 24 objects. This project is an itinerant scenography for the exhibition 24 Hours in the Life of a Swiss Cuckoo Clock, presenting a series of 24 Swiss cuckoo clocks designed by students and professional designers from HEAD Geneva.

Ghost of tsushima rating7/22/2023 ![]() ![]() It involves a lot of uncovering the map, section-by-section, and taking fortified territory back from forces that never attempt to reclaim it. This is nothing new - PlayStation’s first-party titles frequently wear their inspirations on their sleeves - but Tsushima is overt even by this standard.Īs mentioned, its clearest inspiration comes from older Assassin’s Creed games. It does this by lifting inspiration from more recent open-world games. Thus, Tsushima Director’s Cut finds ways to include touches of modernity without having to sacrifice its original goals. Even Assassin’s Creed, a series Tsushima takes direct inspiration from, has been rebooted and reborn in this period. Games like Dark Souls, The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 have changed the way designers think about designing open worlds, RPG progression and combat. The tropes and mechanics of 2014, when it first went into pre-production, are no longer in vogue. In the six years, the game was in development at Sucker Punch, the open-world genre evolved substantially. Ghost of Tsushima feels like a game caught in a similar identity crisis. ![]() ![]() If he can rescue his captured family and allies, they will shun him for his methods.īut if that’s the price of a free Tsushima, Jin will pay it. It’s a grave dishonour and he will bear it for the rest of his life. Embracing an assassin’s approach is a necessary evil, but one that will stain Jin’s legacy. Attacking the Mongols head-on is suicide. Her tactics are the opposite of everything Jin believes, but he can also see the sense in it. She can move silently, gut her foes in the shadows, and secure their resources for her own benefit. She’s a cut-purse and a scavenger, happy to slide a dagger into the neck of any Mongol fool enough to turn his back on her. Yuna is a thief, and reasons that adopting a clandestine approach is the only sensible way forward. In the aftermath of the attack, Jin meets a woman named Yuna (Sumalee Montano) who urges him to loosen his rigid worldview. Jin is caught between the only way of life he’s ever known and the certainty that it will fail him. They have no problem using tactics any samurai would consider unbecoming to win a fight. This dignified worldview is of little use against the Mongols. They must issue a clear, public challenge, and face one another in equal combat. Samurai insist that they take any grievance, of any scale, directly to their enemies. To be a samurai is to be committed to the ideals of bravery, honour and true respect for one’s opponents. His mission presents a steep moral quandary. You are Jin Sakai (played by Daisuke Tsuji), a young samurai who survived the onslaught and now seeks to regain control of his homeland. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is set in feudal Japan against the backdrop of a real-world historical event - the invasion of Tsushima Island by Kublai Khan’s Mongol forces in November of 1274AD. With the Director’s Cut, Tsushima launches on the PS5 to serve as a bookend for a new generation. It was the last hurrah, a way to bring the PS4 era to a close in a way that leveraged the wisdom of many lessons, bidding it farewell.Ĭoincidentally, Tsushima is also a game ABOUT an era coming to a close and the hope for what may lie ahead. Originally arriving at the end of the PlayStation 4 era, it was an amalgam of the ways game design had changed since the console’s inception. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut marks the second time this game has come along at the right moment.

Xbar statistics7/22/2023 ![]() Perhaps there's just too much variability in our estimator to get a clear picture of what's going on. (Never admit defeat!) The reason for this is that our alternative might still be right. But if I got 90 of them correct, this would be so unusual that you would have to change your assumptions! (Which doesn't mean I'm psychic of course - I might have cheated.)ĥ) If the p-value is NOT less than or equal to the significance level - we do not say that we "accept" the null hypothesis. When this happens, it means you just saw an event that happens very rarely if the null hypothesis is true- so maybe it isn't true! If I said I could predict the outcome of 100 flips of a coin, and I got 52 of them right, you probably wouldn't be too impressed, because your null hypothesis expected this. In the opinion of the Null hypothesis, is this test statistic "extreme"?ģ) Calculate the p-value: what's the probability of getting a test statistic as extreme or MORE extreme than the one you got?Ĥ) If the p-value is less than or equal to the significance level - reject the null hypothesis. 5% is a popular choice, as is 1% and even 10%, if you can live with yourself knowing you are wrong 10% of the time.Ģ) Calculate your test statistic. ![]() So we can compute, for example, that the probability that xbar is within 1 SE of mu is roughly 68%, within two SE's is roughly 95% and within 3 is roughly 99.7%.ġ) Choose a significance level - the probability that we will reject the null hypothesis, even though its true (oops!). (The SD of a estimator, like Xbar, is called the Standard Error, or SE). We know, however, that Xbar is NOT equal to mu, it is merely an estimate that is unbiased (so it likes to "hang out" around mu) and has a relatively small standard error (so it doesn't stray too far from mu - and in fact, the larger the sample size, the closer Xbar tends to stay to mu.) But we can be even more precise because we assumed the population was normal, Xbar is also normal with mean mu and SD equal to sigma/sqrt(n). Our alternative is called the "Alternative Hypothesis." Because the null hypothesis represents conventional wisdom, it gets the benefit of the doubt, and will be overturned only with exceptional evidence to the contrary.īecause we want to know about the mean of the population, we estimate using one of our favorite estimators, the average Xbar (sum of the observations divided by the number of observations). But that's a fine point for later.) The "conventional wisdom" is called the Null Hypothesis. This gives us an advantage over the conventional wisdom that some would say is unfair in some contexts. (Note that our options are much more vague than the conventional wisdom. 2) mu is greater than mu0 3) mu is less than mu0. (For example, conventional wisdom claims that the mean is 0.) We believe instead that something else is true. The conventional wisdom says that the mu is a particular value, let's call it mu0. We are interested in the value of the mean of the population, mu. We've collected data on a single variable which we assume has a normal distribution with mean mu and SD sigma. So we need to understand how our sample will vary. Because the sample is random (and because the population has a variety of values), we can't count on getting the exact same values if we repeat our experiment. And we test our hypothesis on this random sample. To test our hypotheses about the value of these parameters, we take a random sample of independent observations. For example, if I'm running for president, I want to know that my support is NOT less than 50%. In hypothesis testing, we are actually more interested in what value the parameters aren't. The probability distribution of this population can be summarized with one (or maybe two or three) parameters, and we wish to know what these parameters are. General Framework: There exists a population of wildly exciting observations, but, alas, the population is too large to observe them all. 20xx melee iso 5.7 dolphin7/21/2023 ![]() In that phase, only those security updates deemed crucial are released in this phase.

For starters, check to make sure that you have a good connection by checking the wireless status at the top of your phone screen. There are two ways Apple will try to log in: with a cellular connection or with WiFi. If you can't log into the Apple ID server, the problem might be related to your internet connection. After it restarts, try to log into your Apple service once again. Turn your iPhone off completely, wait a moment and then turn it back on again. If you've ever had an IT technician ask you to turn your computer off and then back on again, you know the essence of this step - restarting computer hardware like a PC or your phone can flush out bad data, reset connections, and generally solve problems without deeper troubleshooting. Often, logging in a second time will work just fine, especially if the problem was related to congestion at the Apple server or a finicky network connection between your phone and the internet. If you experienced an intermittent, momentary error while trying to log into your Apple account, just wait a few moments and try again. There are a lot of ways to troubleshoot the problem when your iPhone can't connect the Apple ID server, but often the simplest solution is the one that works.

The TT uses a transversely mounted internal combustion engine, with either front-wheel drive or ' quattro four-wheel drive' available as an option. Mechanically, the TT shares an identical powertrain layout with its related Volkswagen Group-mates. Production of the Audi TT (Type 8N) ended in June 2006. By 2003, Audi had provided a "face-lift" to the TT, with a number of small styling and practicality improvements. It was also on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 20. The Audi TT was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2000. All changes were incorporated into subsequent production. Audi's Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) or Anti Slip Regulation (ASR) and rear spoiler were added, along with modifications to the suspension system. Both the coupé and roadster variants were recalled in late 1999/early 2000, to improve predictability of the car's handling at very high speeds. Factory production commenced in October 1998.Įarly TT models received press coverage following a series of high-speed accidents and the related fatalities which occurred at speeds in excess of 112 mph (180 km/h) during abrupt lane changes or sharp turns. The styling differed little from the concept, except for slightly reprofiled bumpers, and the addition of rear quarterlight windows behind the doors. It is based on the Volkswagen Group A4 (PQ34) platform as used for the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, the original Audi A3, the Škoda Octavia, and others. The production model (internal designation Type 8N) was launched as a coupé in September 1998, followed by a roadster in August 1999. The TT name has also been attributed to the phrase "Technology & Tradition". The Audi TT also follows the NSU 1000TT, 1200TT and TTS cars of the 1960s in taking their names from the race. The 1938 Isle of Man Lightweight TT race was won by Ewald Kluge with a 250 cc supercharged DKW motor-cycle and the DKW and NSU companies later merged into the company now known as Audi. NSU marque began competing at the Isle of Man TT in 1907 with the UK manager Martin Geiger finishing in fifth position in the single-cylinder race. ![]() The Audi TT takes its name from the successful motor racing tradition of NSU in the British Isle of Man TT (Tourist Trophy) motorcycle race. However, from 2003, a dual clutch six-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) became available, with the United Kingdom TT variants becoming the world's first user of a dual clutch transmission configured for a right-hand drive vehicle, although the outright world first for a road car equipped with a dual clutch transmission was claimed earlier by a Volkswagen Group platform-mate, the left hand drive Volkswagen Golf Mk4 R32. Audi did not initially offer any type of automatic transmission option for the TT. The design is credited to J Mays and Freeman Thomas, with Hartmut Warkuss, Peter Schreyer, Martin Smith and Romulus Rost contributing to the interior design.Ī previously unused laser beam welding adaptation, which enabled seamless design features on the first-generation TT, delayed its introduction. The TT was first shown as a concept car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. The styling of the Audi TT began in the spring of 1994 at the Volkswagen Group Design Center in California. Born from this platform, the Audi TT shares powertrain and suspension layouts with its siblings, including the Audi A3, like a transversely mounted front-engine, powering front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension using MacPherson struts in front. įor each of its three generations, the TT has been available as a 2+2 coupé and as a two-seater roadster based on consecutive generations of Volkswagen's "Group A" platforms, starting with its 'PQ34' fourth generation. The first two generations were assembled by Audi's Hungarian subsidiary, one of the world's biggest engine making plants, using bodyshells manufactured and painted at Audi's Ingolstadt plant and parts made entirely by the Hungarian factory for the third generation. The Audi TT is a series of 2-door production sports cars and convertibles, made by Audi since 1998, in its third generation since 2014. Front-engine, all-wheel-drive ( quattro). Copper pearl7/21/2023 The usual shape of conch pearls is either baroque or oval, and both Susan Hendrickson's pearls conform to the latter shape, even though one of them is somewhat spherical. White and brown colors are relatively rare in conch pearls. The pearls also have the characteristic flicker across their surfaces, known as the "flame structure." Besides pink, conch pearls can also have other colors such as yellow, brown, white and golden. Both pearls have a deep-pink color which is the most sought after color in conch pearls. The larger conch pearl weighs 22.4 carats, equivalent to 89.6 grains and the smaller one 17.9 carats, equivalent to 71.6 grains. The two large conch pearls belonging to Susan Hendrickson's collection of conch pearls are extremely rare specimens given the fact that the average size of a conch pearl is less than 3 mm and average weight less than 1 carat (4 grains). Susan Hendrickson's Conch Pearls Characteristics of the Susan Hendrickson's Conch Pearls Weight, color, shape and flame structure of the conch pearls Besides their striking colors conch pearls, especially the pink and the whitish-pink colored pearls, have a unique feature known as a "flame structure," a spectacular chatoyancy effect that appears on the surface of the pearl, as if a fire is burning on the surface. The most sought after color in conch pearls is a salmon-colored orange-pink. The variety of colors in which conch pearls exist are pink, yellow, brown, white and golden. Only one in ten thousand queen conches can yield a conch pearl, out of which only about 10% are of gem quality. Susan Hendrickson has now gone into partnership with the renowned Geneva-based jewelry maker Georges Ruiz, to turnout conch pearl jewelry, which they believe would be the most popular pearl of the future, given the natural provenance of the pearl, their extreme rarity, and the array of colors in which they are found. The conch pearls were actually a by product of this thriving queen conch fishery. She purchased the pearls from the queen conch fisherman of the Caribbean, who harvested them primarily for their meat which became a popular delicacy. Susan Hendrickson had been a connoisseur and collector of conch pearls for almost two decades.
