Fitbit charge 512/17/2023 ![]() That’s a bold move for a device with such a small screen, and operations frequently verge on the fiddly, especially if you intend to run with your Charge 5 in the rain. The Fitbit Versa 3 had an infuriatingly inconsistent capacitive button and the Charge 5 goes one step further: it’s now touchscreen only. ![]() The second issue is harder to let slide: the continuation of Fitbit’s war on buttons. ![]() While earlier Charge bands aren’t compatible thanks to the smaller size, Fitbit sells its own, and I’m sure it will only a be matter of time before a cottage industry of Charge 5 accessory sellers emerges on Amazon. The good news is that this can be easily removed and replaced with something better. But the band is one of those that loops up inside itself, and I’ve never met anyone who wouldn’t prefer a simple buckle mechanism. It’s comfortable enough, and Fitbit is to be applauded for including two sizes in the box to get the perfect fit. The first is the strap that comes with it. A couple of our favourites are the Fitbit Versa 3, which has a list price of £200 but more commonly goes for around £160, and the Garmin Venu Sq, which is even cheaper, with a list price of £160 but a more common price of £140. That being said, the hard truth is that the £170 price pushes the Fitbit Charge 5 beyond the usual fitness tracker price bracket and firmly into smartwatch territory, and here the competition is fierce. With the usual free trial lasting only 90 days, you’re effectively getting £36 worth of subscription for free, which softens the blow of that price increase somewhat. In Fitbit’s defence, the Charge 5 comes with six months of free access to Fitbit Premium, which normally costs £8 a month. The Fitbit Charge 5 now costs £170, which is £40 more than the Fitbit Charge 4 at launch, and considerably more than the £115 you can buy it for in 2021. That’s a great set of updates on paper, but they come at a premium. READ NEXT: Our guide to the best fitness trackers money can buy Fitbit Charge 5 review: Price and competition This will advise you on what kind of exercise your body is ready for each day, to theoretically ensure you don’t overdo it. You also get six months of Fitbit Premium in the box, which is handy as it enables something called a “Readiness Score” (again, this is “coming soon” – and to the more recent Sense, Versa, Luxe and Inspire devices, too). The latter isn’t available at launch, however, with Fitbit set to enable the functionality later this year. Fitbit Charge 5 vs.As with the previous model, the Charge 5 comes with built-in GPS and there are some additional sensors this time around, giving the Charge 5 the ability to measure electrodermal activity (EDA) and perform electrocardiogram (ECG) tests. It seamlessly sends notifications from my iPhone 12 Pro to my wrist, and it's woken me up every morning since I slapped it on my wrist. I've had the Charge 4 since its release, and the battery still holds a strong charge, and everything works as it should. It's a reliable step tracker, keeps time, has GPS, counts laps as you swim, and comes with sleep tracking and alarms, and it does smartphone notifications. The Charge 5, being the new guy in town, has only three.Īs a fitness tracker, the Charge 4 is an impressive fitness watch that continues to wow us. One big plus on Team Charge 4 is the hundreds of high-quality bands for the Fitbit Charge 4 on the market. Those features are still every bit as accurate and exciting today as they were back then. Last year, we recommended buying the Fitbit Charge 4, boasting about its built-in GPS and swim tracker. Fitbit Charge 4 Lifestyle (Image credit: Fitbit)

Pathfinder city of secrets online12/17/2023 ![]() The Pathfinder Origins series will tell the tales of the early days of the Pathfinder iconic heroes. REDMOND, WA (December 1, 2014) – Paizo, Inc., leading publisher of tabletop roleplaying and adventure card games, and Dynamite Entertainment, publisher of best-selling comic book titles, announce today Pathfinder Origins, the next comic series based on the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Here is the official press release, for people who like their press releases to be official: ![]() I just don’t know which team up I am most excited about. But how? Would a Pathfinder comic staring only the Advanced Class Guide iconics be fulfilling enough, All New, All Different X-Men style, or would it be missing cornerstone elements like the Sunbow Transformers animated series post Transformers The Movie? In this format, six new iconics get more page space dedicated to them than any one iconic gets in a typical issue of the Pathfinder comic, plus a familiar iconic to buddy up or create a rivalry with. ![]() I have read all of Dynamite’s Pathfinder comics and enjoyed them quite a bit, but knowing that there were more than 20 other iconics who have yet to be fictionalized outside of the chapter headers in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rulebooks has left me yearning for a change in cast. They aren’t slatted to be Pathfinder Society legal quests yet, but listener Joe Smith’s question during the broadcast did plant the seeds of the idea in Erik’s mind.Īs I mentioned on the podcast, I am excited with this new direction for the comic. I’m curious how much the covers are indicative of what the story will be, in particular how one story can makes sense of Sean Izaakse’s variant with tiny Amiri (or regular Amiri and massive Valeros) plunging her giant sword into Valeros’ skull either before or after drinking together on Andrew Huerta’s variant.Įach issue will include a poster map and Pathfinder encounter, popular features that were in the first six issues of the original Pathfinder miniseries, absent from the next six issues, and returned with much fanfare in Pathfinder City of Secrets. I am surprised by how heavily the covers feature Amiri considering Valeros’ name is on the covers. Paizo released five covers of issue 1, although it wouldn’t surprise me if there were ultra rare sketch variations of some of these. Not only does that make more sense than two tales of different divine casters, it’s consistent with the other pairings, that all feature classes with more similarities than differences.Īs is typical of Dynamite and it’s Pathfinder comics, there will be a slew of alternate covers, one of which will pay homage to a classic comic cover or movie poster. I think it’s safe to predict a holy team-up of Kyra and Seelah and a nature team-up of Harsk and Lini. Merisiel the rogue and Sajan the monk (written by James Sutter).Seoni the sorcerer and Seltyel the magus (written by F.Erik also told us that other issues would include team ups of: We know issue 1 will feature a beefy melee team-up of fighter Valeros and barbarian Amiri, written by Erik Mona. Each issue will feature one of the six iconics who have starred in the Pathfinder comics teaming up with one of the six Core Rulebook iconics who have not or barely appeared in the comic form so far (including Seltyel, iconic eldritch knight turned iconic magus). Sutter, all three of whom wrote a story for an issue of Dynamite’s Pathfinder Goblins 2013 miniseries.This series will travel to areas of Golarion outside of Varisia, which has been the setting for all Pathfinder comics released so far. Wesley Schneider, and Managing Editor James L. The writing duties for Pathfinder Origins will be handled by Paizo Publisher/Chief Creative Officer Erik Mona, Editor-in-Chief F. Called Pathfinder Origins, each issue of this mini series will be written by a member of the Paizo staff.įind out more, and read the official press release after the jump… As announced by Erik Mona in Know Direction 96, the next Pathfinder comics series, releasing February 2015, will be a prequel to the main storyline.

Cuerdas sonoros12/16/2023 ![]() The inventory is signifi cant not only for the variety, breadth and detail of its contents, but also because it allows this reconstruction of the pre-1600 repertory in use at the cathedral even though almost all the musical sources themselves have been lost, and even more so because very few such inventories from this early have been found in Hispano-American cathedrals. This document shows how Spanish and European music, both manuscript and printed, quickly reached Mexico and formed part of the music performed as part of the liturgy of one of the most important cathedrals in the New World. Thanks to a detailed inventory dated 1589 recently found in Mexico Cathedral, it is possible to reconstruct the polyphonic repertory performed there in the 16th century. Keywords: Robert Murrell Stevenson, “music(ethno)logy”, aesthetic and cultural critic. Stevenson is a limitaneus, "Look between worlds", and his legacy is a sort of "migration" has clashed with both intellectual view of the metropolis as the periphery, revealing sources between ideology and politic, that is filtered through musicological story. His research moved between musicology, ethnology, philosophy, aesthetics and cultural critic, for this reason, today is fundamental for the studies dedicated to Music as thought, specially in the Americas and the Iberian Peninsula. Abstract: This article will attempt to expose what has been identified as a “music (ethno) logical” thinking in the work of the American theologian, composer, musicologist and pianist Robert Murrell Stevenson, analyzing the critical reception that his work was in opinion of his contemporaries. Palabras clave: Robert Murrel Stevenson, “músico(etno)logia”, estética y crítica cultural. Stevenson, que se movió entre musicología, etnología, filosofía, estética y crítica cultural, representa hoy en día uno de los pilares fundamentales de los estudios dedicados a la Música como pensamiento, especialmente en las Américas y la Península Ibérica, mostrándose como limitaneus, “mirada entre mundos”, que, en una especie de “migración” intelectual, ha chocado tanto con la perspectiva de la metrópolis como con la de la periferia, poniendo en evidencia las “entrelíneas” estéticas, ideológicas y políticas, que se filtran a través del relato musicológico. ![]() Esumen: El presente artículo tratará de exponer lo que se ha identificado como un pensamiento “músico(etno)lógico” en la obra del teólogo, compositor, musicólogo y pianista estadounidense Robert Murrell Stevenson, analizando la recepción crítica que tuvo su obra en la opinión de sus contemporaneos.

Gawker vs hulk hogan12/16/2023 I spoke to Holiday last week about the new information he’s uncovered, whether he thinks Gawker could have saved itself before the trial, and whether news reporters reflecting on Gawker’s demise should live in fear of upsetting rich people with their work. A, not only came up with the idea in April 2011-before the publication of the Hogan video-to target Gawker through an open-ended legal fund but also spearheaded the plot to take down Gawker using Thiel’s money. In the book’s biggest revelation, Holiday reports for the first time that a twentysomething acquaintance of Thiel’s, identified only as Mr. Over the next two years, Holiday turned that access into the first reported book that chronicles the lawsuit, from the offending blog post that sparked Thiel’s wrath to the aftermath of Gawker’s sale. ![]() Shortly after the verdict, both Thiel and Gawker’s founder, Nick Denton, reached out to Holiday about his coverage of the lawsuit in the New York Observer. This saga is the subject of a new book by the author and ( controversial) media strategist Ryan Holiday, called Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue. ![]() Throw Your Children’s Art Away Mary Townsend

Clearview energy reviews12/16/2023 ![]() Senators worry market redesign plans will confuse industry players. The wording of the senators’ letter appears to favor a more traditional regulatory model with standards and penalties for non-compliance. Under FMR, the state would dole out monetary rewards to power generators based on their performance during peak demand. Last month, PUCT floated sweeping proposals including Forward Reliability Market (FRM) with its PCM plan. These plants sell power to retail providers who in turn sell to homes and businesses. In a nutshell, that's how your lights come on and stay on. ![]() In other words, Texas needs power plants it can turn on and off as demand varies. Hold on PCM, But Then What?Ī few lawmakers say the state needs more “ dispatchable generation" and PUCT plans don’t make a clear path for reaching that goal. ![]() Expect some uncomfortable committee hearings with pointed questions for PUCT leaders. During the 180-day session, lawmakers will consider the power grid and a myriad of other issues. The next legislative session begins January 10. And lawmakers don’t take kindly to state agencies failing to meet the intent of high profile new laws. These senators feel PUCT misses the point of SB 3. After a letter like that, you can bet your mortgage payment PUCT will await further instructions. The nine signers make up the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce. The letter tells PUCT to wait for lawmakers to weigh in before carrying out their Performance Credit Mechanism or "PCM" plan. The agency’s recently announced plans to revamp the Texas power market go beyond what Senate Bill 3 says. In a letter signed by nine members of the Texas Senate, lawmakers told the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) to hold their horses. Texas lawmakers told the Texas PUC they want to examine the commission's Performance Credit Mechanism or PCM plan more closely before it can go into effect.

Modular typeface12/16/2023 ![]() Keeping the type treatments within the base scale is ideal, but adding utility classes can add balance to a layout. It’s best to use these sparingly because several areas of emphasis can be distracting for users. Utility classes can be used for larger numerical values that don’t fit within the type scale. If there are additional sections that require emphasis outside of the scale, a utility class can be used in order to draw attention. ![]() H5: Supporting content, such as card containers H3: Supplementary content such as numerical values or callouts H2: Subheadings, such as for container headers H1: Typically used for headings on main screens Will there be a need to a different input or graph treatment? With the assumption that the type will change, it’s important to build flexibility into the scale. This is hard because you may not know how the web UI will expand. While 14px can feel on the small side, it can improve the readability of weightier typefaces. Typically, between 14px to 18px works well for web apps. The size depends on the weight and structure of the typeface. Lay out the base scale Choose your base scaleĬhoosing the base body type defines the entire scale structure. For larger, bold headlines, Golden Ratio or Perfect Fifth could be good options since there is more visual separation between the largest step down to the smallest. The Major Third, Major Second or Perfect Fourth scales can be a good place to start since the difference between the down the isn’t as drastic (unless that is the intent for the project). There are several that work well for web UI because of the flow between type levels. This isn’t very helpful for defining a flexible scale, so it’s best to stick with rem when possible. So, for example, we take a base 1 rem = 16px we can use that as the starting point for the entire scale. Therefore, creating a scale based on a base rem (I will explain more later) will define the entire harmonious scale for the web UI. This means 1rem is always equal to the font-size defined in the. A REM is a unit of typography equal to the root font-size.Pixels are for designers, don’t use them to define a web app type scale.The to tags are used to define HTML headings and tell the browser the importance of each tag. EMs or REMs are proportion scales using for type sizing and spacing on the web. When designing web UI, proportions or “unitless” measurements are the best approach so that the scale is flexible for different device viewports. Any list of variable type sizes can be a scale, but a flexible scale not only fits within a design language but is responsive across device sizes.īy sticking to a scale, Designers can limit the overabundance of choice (so many typefaces and sizes!) and avoid errors when applying a size to a typeface. So what is a typographic scale? It’s a set of fixed type sizes (10px, 24px, 45px…). Rather than choosing a type scale based on feel or perceived hierarchy, using a scale tool can create type that works together. The term Modular Scale refers to a series of harmonious type values that are both pleasing for users and scalable for feature development. Type scales can work together so that they look and feel coordinated.

Lighttable auto close brackets12/16/2023 ![]() Those moments that one associates with Fate. In dramatically crucial moments that change one's life completely. The sky of Camber Sands on this September night in 1978 is one of those skies you see in dramatically crucial scenes. There are bursts of intense blue electric sparks here and there. The clouds filled with eddies and whirls are like a brain. It's that color that skies turn when a late-afternoon storm generates a state somewhere between day and night. The color of the sky isn't particularly diurnal nor particularly nocturnal. Seated with his legs crossed on the floor of the living room of the Hotel in the Sands, beneath his mattress, Lorenzo Giraut moves the little mirror until he has a good view of the Camber Sands sky. Filled with places that are somewhere else or at some other time or that simply aren't. It's the same with the Fishing Trophy Room. In the here and now, in 1978, the Old Map Store no longer exists or doesn't yet exist or perhaps has never existed. Not the same Camber Sands that will appear almost thirty years later in the Filial Dream about Camber Sands. He is sitting on the floor of the shelter, looking at the sky on the other side of the window with a little mirror taken from the suite's bathroom. In the middle of the living room of his suite at the Hotel in the Sands at Camber Sands, Lorenzo Giraut has built some sort of small shelter using various pieces of furniture and the mattress from his bed. ![]() Those brains that crackle and spark and bubble, their irregular surfaces covered with small electrical charges.
