![]() Skylar Tibbits is the director of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT, and worked with the Stratasys Materials Group to produce a composite polymer composed of highly hydrophilic elements and non-active, highly rigid elements. The size, shape, modulus, and connection pattern of these material building blocks have a direct relationship to the deformation shape under stimulus activation. ![]() Micro scale design is achieved through complex molecular/fiber simulations that approximate the aggregated material properties of all the materials used in the sample. 4D-printed components can be designed on the macro scale as well as the micro scale. Most 4D printing systems utilize a network of fibers that vary in size and material properties. printed, reacting when submerged underwater. Fiber architecture One of the composite polymers that Tibbits et al. Anisotropy is vital in engineering the direction and magnitude of transformations under a given condition, by arranging the micromaterials in a way so that there is an embedded directionality to the finished print. As opposed to fused-deposition modeling, where the extruded material hardens immediately to form layers, 4D printing is fundamentally based in stereolithography, where in most cases ultraviolet light is used to cure the layered materials after the printing process has completed. Stereolithography is a 3D-printing technique that uses photopolymerization to bind substrate that has been laid layer upon layer, creating a polymeric network. ![]() It is therefore a type of programmable matter, wherein after the fabrication process, the printed product reacts with parameters within the environment (humidity, temperature, voltage, etc.) and changes its form accordingly. However, in 4D printing, the resulting 3D shape is able to morph into different forms in response to environmental stimulus, with the 4th dimension being the time-dependent shape change after the printing. 4-dimensional printing ( 4D printing also known as 4D bioprinting, active origami, or shape-morphing systems) uses the same techniques of 3D printing through computer-programmed deposition of material in successive layers to create a three-dimensional object.

More than just a silly name, OmniGraffle is a powerful, yet easy to use diagramming and drawing tool. OmniGraffle is the tool to help you organize your thoughts visually, document them beautifully, and communicate them to the world. Whatever your profession or interests, chances are you’ve occasionally sketched out some ideas on a piece of graph paper or the back of a napkin. When you need a clear understanding of how tasks, activities, and processes are carried out, OmniGraffle can help you produce amazing-looking diagrams that communicate information far better than words - and if you're just looking to make a poster for your Sunday garage sale, it's perfect for that too.ĭiagrams are basic to the way people think, and we create them all the time without even realizing it. Addressed an issue that would generate errant vertex points when using the Pen Tool. The title of the Stencil Window should now again be localized. Found a few more cases where dragging a raster image to a pixel-based canvas would place the image on non-integral pixel coordinates. Fixed a bug where shadows were not rendering properly for Mac OS X 10.5 users. Changesįixed a regression where drop shadows on objects would not print. ![]() If you're looking for a professional application to create complex diagrams and aren't worried about the price, then OmniGraflle is definitely the program for you.įixed a regression where drop shadows on objects would not print. It's no surprise then that the program has a price tag of $199.95, which not all users will be ready to pay.

Apart from powerful tools, a good diagramming program needs to give you a clear outlook of your project, even if it is very complex. ![]() Only Kings or a group of sequenced cards with a King can be played in empty columns. ![]() In the Spades foundation, the next card after the Ace of Spades, for example, will be a 2 of Spades. Begin foundation piles with an Ace then add cards of the same suit to each pile in ascending order. Once a face-up card on top of a face-down card is moved, it will be turned face-up and available to play. Reveal face-down cards in tableau columns.To do so, the highest-ranking card in the group must be placed on a card that is an alternate higher and one rank higher. For example, a 6 of Clubs can be placed on top of a 7 of Diamonds or Hearts. Move a card from one tableau column to another if the card is the alternate color and one rank lower.If you play a face-up card from the waste pile, it will reveal another face-up card that can then be played on the foundation piles or tableau columns. A face-down card in the tableau cannot be overturned and played until the face-up card on top of it is removed. Each pile is organized by suit, and cards are placed in ascending order, starting with an Ace and ending with a King.Īrrange cards by making moves according to these rules: The foundation piles: These are the 4 piles you arrange your cards into.The face-up card that is revealed can be used to make plays. The waste pile (or talon): Any cards you flip from the stockpile move face-up into the waste pile.The stockpile: The remaining 24 cards, placed face-down, become the stockpile, which you draw from 1 at a time when you run out of moves on the tableau.The last card in each column is face-up, while the rest remain face-down until revealed. The first column consists of one card, and the subsequent columns have an additional card until the last column has 7. The tableau: The main area of gameplay is the tableau, which is made up of 7 columns of 28 cards laid out from left to right.Solitaire has four basic piles that you use to play the game: ![]() You achieve this by moving face-up cards from the stock pile and the tableau. Your goal is to arrange all cards into the 4 empty foundation piles, organized by suit in ascending order, starting with an Ace and progressing to a King. On Solitaired, you can play unlimited online Solitaire games for free on your phone, desktop, or in full screen. While “Solitaire” typically refers to classic Klondike Solitaire, there are many versions and difficulty levels, such as Klondike Solitaire Turn 3 and FreeCell.

Which is to say, 28 years after my last day in the office, assuming I saw a newborn then. Sadly, I am supposed to keep the patient files for anyone I saw under the age of 18 until ten years after they reach 18. But when the leukemia came along I had to quit, but I still fire up Sheepshaver now and then to see from old billings when I last saw a patient and whether their chart has been shredded rather than delve into that stacks of garbage in the garage to get at the filing cabinets. I helped the author of the app get a few offices to keep going with Sheepshaver on Intel Macs in those days. I bought a G5 PowerMac (still have it) and used it until I had to retire. That wasn’t a hard choice! But when the PowerPC Macs came to an end, it became harder to stick with it. When electronic billing for fee-for-service docs came to Nova Scotia, there was one Mac provider, and the rest were DOS-based. I still use Sheepshaver, although for a very specific purpose. I frequently go back to databases created years ago and immediately find the item I’m looking for and can download it or just consult the data. The program is wonderful and it allows me to keep all sorts of data and information, including documents such as receipts, articles, and all sorts of materials. They changed their policy for good reasons and I connected up with him. The developer is a fascinating gentleman with whom I communicated a few years ago when I was able to obtain the app because I worked for a very not for profit - a church lol. Easy to use, has iOS version and synchs with ease across all my devices.ĭEVONthink3 has been a constant with me for years. I use it for creating databases of medical information like blood pressure, daily diabetic blood tests, books collections, library of video/audio teaching programs, etc. Tap Forms is an easy to use yet very versatile database that allows you to design all kinds of databases. I have used it for years and it has been a life saver (not the fruity kind lol). There is so much you can do with it including the ability to create PDF’s with hyperlinked table of contents. My favorite app is Nisus Writer Pro followed by Tap Forms 5 and DEVONthink 3. I am pretty sure I still have a box with the old Quicken disks and all my yearly backups - I seem to remember the program did better that way for a long time. I gave it up for SEE early last year (and I don’t like SEE nearly as much, it’s a bit of a step backwards for me). I had started budgeting on Excel but really enjoyed Quicken when I first started using it. Quicken was one of the best investments I made in my 20s.

Each team will also have 30 seconds to make a rebuttal, to poke holes in their opponent's declaration. We'll start with the Declaration of Greatness, where each debater has to present the coolest facts and stories about their side. Our judge Kimtee will award points to the winner of each round. Our debaters will compete in four high octane rounds of debate. ![]() Before we get started, let's review the rounds of debate. That's still maybe a relatively small fraction. Few people on this planet I know for a fact deny french fries, unless they're specifically allergic to potatoes. Molly: Brittany, in a single sentence, tell us why french fries are the most fabulous.īrittany: They are crunchy, salty, satisfying, and eclectic. Molly: Well, now let's meet Tommy's very fierce opponent, here to rep team french fries, it's Brittany Carney. ![]() Molly: Oh man, we're all going to come out of this hungry today, I know. Where the clouds are made of whipped cream and the angels are also made of whipped cream. Tommy: Look, the moment that ice cream hits your tongue, you are instantly transported to a sweet, creamy flavor heaven. Molly: I see you're very familiar with judging food. It's just really fun to talk about food and see what we like and don't like. We'll compare like cooking's from different aunties that we have, or like maybe our mom's versus our dad's. I don't know in Bengali culture, food is such a main thing that we talk about. Kimtee: Oh, it's usually like someone's cooking versus someone else's. Molly: Can you remember any of the topics you've debated? Kimtee: Kimtee, do you ever get into debates about food? Molly: That is amazing to live with a french fry cook, sign me up. Kimtee: My mom actually makes them, so I like my mom's ones the best. Molly: Do you have a place you like to get french fries from or do you make them at home, frozen ones? Molly: What about french fries? Do you like french fries? Then when you eat down all the way to the bottom of the cone, you have the little baby cone. Molly: It's crunchy, it goes so well with the ice cream. Kimtee: I'm going through like a chocolate and caramel phase, I think that just tastes really good right now. Kimtee: Probably just straight-up vanilla. Kimtee just to start off, I'd like to know. Here to make some difficult decisions is our Judge Kimtee. These two treats could not be more delicious. This is going to be a tough one for everybody because let's face it, we all scream for ice cream and we freak out over french fries.

Returning a whopping 76.3mpg on the combined cycle, you couldn’t really ask for much more. What's really impressive is the feisty 1.5-litre dCi 90bhp diesel model, if only for its superb fuel economy and lively performance. The steering is light yet positive, and the suspension works well to offer a smooth ride. The Captur’s suspension has a nice sporty feel about it, and the car grips and handles beautifully. It reduces torque and modifies throttle response to suit, and can even automatically adjust the air conditioning and heating output for maximum efficiency. There's also an eco mode button, which reduces performance to aid fuel economy.

It’s a high-rise model with elegant curves and haunches, distinctive colour combinations and a friendly, classless look. Permitted activities include acting as a credit broker not a lender. Verdict: (7.3/10) It’s easy to see the appeal of the Renault Captur. ![]() The interior of the Captur certainly places the emphasis on style, whereas some rivals, such as the SEAT Arona or Volkswagen T-Roc, are more straightlaced – if just as useable.Īll current Captur models come with a DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. This car has driving tunes covered. Wireless charging also appears on higher-spec cars, as does a high-end audio system to get those tunes pumping.Ĭinch Cars Limited is an appointed representative of ITC Compliance Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (their registration number is 313486). It’s a simple design and all the better for it. The dials are conventional, with a touch of funky styling, and the centre of the dashboard is dominated by a touchscreen and climate control system. If you’re in the market for a Mk1 Captur, you’ll find an interior that’s spacious, well made and still looks good, despite being designed a few years ago now. The good news is that the climate controls are separate from the screen, so you don’t have to go into various sub-menus just to increase the cabin temperature by a couple of degrees on a frostier-than-you'd-prefer Spring morning. The central touchscreen controls many of the car’s functions. The optional colour packs brighten the interior considerably, so it’s worth seeking out a car with one of these. The plastic used on top of the dashboard is pleasingly squishy, and the surfaces lower down feel robust. The interior of the current-shape Captur is a pleasant place to while away the miles. ![]() And the character of Gloria feels substantially different since Brittany Murphy, the original voice actress, died. The value of family? The importance of good deeds and of being true to yourself? That even the smallest beings can make an impact on their surroundings? It could have been any of these - or something else, for all viewers knew.Īdding to the film’s flaws, Mumble’s parents (played by Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman) have completely disappeared. And come the end of the film, it’s impossible to tell what the lesson was. Not once during the film is it made clear whether the main protagonist is Mumble, his son, Gloria or any other penguin in the film. Instead, it’s too busy juggling a bizarre, overcomplicated plot to even pick a main character or two. The fact that the first film followed a limited set of characters over the course of several years led to a fairly decent, emotional story told convincingly, albeit slowly. Though it was slow, the original “Happy Feet” characters felt developed and relatable, thanks in part to some very convincing voice acting. The few lines of dialogue that aren’t sung are forced, fast and painful to listen to. This is pretty much a long, never-ending music video with mash-up after mash-up of bad dance moves and songs with the lyrics edited to make penguin jokes. This problem doesn’t just affect the plot - the music and visuals are overdone, as well. The first movie was accused of the opposite problem - being too slow - but it seems that this film has overcorrected. One of this film’s biggest flaws is its fast pacing and attempts to squeeze too much into a two-hour running time. But before he can return home to his mother and father, everyone’s world is literally shaken as melting icebergs cause disturbances throughout the Antarctic. Mistaking Sven for a penguin that can fly, Erik makes it his dream to learn how to do the same. During a brief journey with Mumble’s old friend Ramon (Robin Williams), Erik meets a revered bird named The Mighty Sven (Hank Azaria). Daily), does not fit in with his fellow penguins and does not have the passion for dancing that his father brought to the group.
