These shoes are made from a super light weight soft foam composite, and have a moldable footed for a customized fit arch support (meaning: they feel better under foot if you’re standing for a long time).

It keeps everything dry and if you can point to the items through the bag it saves so much time! Squeeze all the air out before you do the zip up and it works like a vacuum bag. Some events have compulsory gear checks throughout so I use a clear re-sealable bag. Use a dry bag inside your pack to keep all your gear dry. Roll it up tight and make it easy to find, especially the compulsory gear that you may not need to use like your waterproof pants (cause if you don't it will probably rain!) You don't want a spewing waterfall of gear when you are mid race! Valuable time can be lost if you are fumbling looking for gear! So I carefully pack it with the waterproof jacket and waterproof pants folded at the back of the bag and then I roll the smaller items up and stack them in tidily. ![]() If I stuff all my gear in it doesn’t fit efficiently and feels lumpy.

If you choose to charge by weight, multiply the estimated weight of a load by your rate per pound. The good news is that an estimate template can help you rely less on guesswork and more on calculation for your final estimate. However, it takes time and experience to develop these skills, and you may end up over or underestimating the weight of a pile on your first few jobs. Many junk removal professionals develop these estimating skills early on in their careers and eventually get it right every time. You may end up having to eyeball jobs as best as you can, based on past jobs and the estimated weight of certain items. Unfortunately, there’s no exact science when it comes to judging how many loads it takes to clear a pile of junk, and unless you have a scale in your truck, predicting the weight of a load is also difficult. Let’s take a look at other factors that will influence the way you price your junk removal services. Your business may stand to lose revenue if you are continuously doing one item jobs. Think about whether a job where your customer only wants one item removed, such as an old carpet, is worth the cost. The national average for junk hauling services is $234 per load. Depending on the size of the truck, most junk removal companies set this minimum of 60 cubic feet. If you do choose to charge per truckload, it is important to establish a minimum load for your business to ensure that every job is worthwhile. There are several ways that you can charge for junk removal services, including by:Ĭharging by the truckload is the most popular pricing method, but charging by weight is also a common option. However, these are just averages, and you may find that your need to charge more or less than another junk business in your area.

Whether you’re dealing with a customer who’s moving and trying to get rid of old furniture, or a construction company that’s just cleaned up the debris from their new build, you need to be able to price your junk removal jobs right. ![]() ![]() I have, and will continue to act, on all violations.

So, platforms for Hogwarts Legacy confirmed are: They also revealed that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch as well. The fans got an official first look and features showcased together with Avalanche Softworks’ insights about the game. However, in January 2021, they already postponed the release until further notice, but with hopes of 2022.Īnd, sure enough, in March 2022, PlayStation confirmed the Hogwarts Legacy 2022 release date in a State of Play YouTube video dedicated entirely to the game. That initial promise was for a 2021 release. In September 2020, WB announced that the game is coming to PlayStation 4, PS5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S. However, in 2020 everyone’s favorite magic pandemic year, the studio came out with an official announcement about the game. ![]() Okay, it was not much, but it was enough to get the fans to go off on it, and, since then, the development process of Hogwarts Legacy has followed closely and has had some controversial moments even. Of course, no affiliations other than her books and intellectual property being used under license to create these games.Īvalanche Software started working on the game almost immediately after being acquired by WB and some footage of actual Hogwarts Legacy gameplay leaked in 2018. Rowling does not have any affiliation with the studios or their projects, which is unfortunate. The name is inspired by the Portkeys used in the Harry Potter story and the label is dedicated to handling the titles from something called the Wizarding World. That same year, WB established its label Portkey Games. Interactive Entertainment after they bought it from Disney in 2017. Development DiaryĪs mentioned, Avalanche Software is handling the development of the game. This was in tune with the schedule original HP movies had, as they were all released sometime during the winter. This is another delay as up until recently the game was to come out during the winter Holidays, 2022, meaning Christmas of course. The latest update has set the release date for the Hogwarts Legacy game for February 10, 2023. Hogwarts Legacy Release Date Confirmed for February 10, 2023! ![]() Given how they’ve mentioned upscaling in the requirements, it’s safe to say this is a very demanding title, and even at 1080p, you’ll need a level of upscaling if you have this GPU.Hogwarts Legacy development began in 2017, January, so now, virtually 6 years later it is natural that people are asking wtf? Avalanche Software studio has already postponed the release once, so this time we hope there won’t be any shenanigans. If you’re looking to play at Higher Settings, with Upscaling set at “Quality”, then you need something like a GTX 1080 Ti paired with a Ryzen 5 3600.

Additional Notes: SSD, 1080p/60 fps, High Quality Settings, Upscale Quality Setting.Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti or AMD RX 5700 XT.Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 OR AMD Ryzen 5 3600. ![]()
![]() But from what we’ve seen, if neither team has a massive lead, the Neutral Items don’t really accelerate the game all that much. Technically, we should put 60-69 minutes, since there is a whole Tier Five neutral item system to end the games now. The longest game of the tournament, however, is a bit interesting. Number of games is 45 to 49, but you can go one higher if you feel the competition is going to be fiercer this time around. Most Kills is still at 26+ because some teams still very much enjoy toying with their food. We feel like players are better at not dying unnecessarily. Most Deaths have been on decline year-to-year, so we are going a bit lower than last time. Assists and GPM also consistently break through their maximum prediction value. Picked and Banned have been at 101+ for several years. ![]() Tournamentįor the tournament tab we are mostly just going with the historical data. This hero will have a bad game where she will not be able to snowball around the thirty minute mark and at this point her gameplan is split-pushing and cutting waves. Queen of Pain is also worth considering.įinally, Naga Siren is our pick for the most Last Hits in a game, as it makes absolute sense. Tinker works, but so do Storm, Ember and Void Spirit. Do not disregard the PM part of XPM.įor most kills in a game you usually want a hero that can win fight after fight, but can’t really close the game. Templar Assassin is usually the highest XPM hero since she quickly transitions from hitting creeps to melting supports, getting a ton of experience in the process and ending the game quite quickly. It’s been Naga for the last several years and the hero is in a good spot so that she will be picked at least five times. Last Hit average is Naga, no need to deviate. He is more set up for success when he appears in drafts. We are going to go for Tinker simply because he is a less popular hero who is usually picked last or close to it. Lowest Death average is a tie between Tinker and Morphling. The former is statistically ahead, so we are going to go with it. Lina has two different killer builds, is very flexible and will get kills even in a bad game.įor assists you can go with both Treant Protector and Ancient Apparition. Broodmother is inconsistent, Huskar is in a bit of a weird spot, Meepo is just bad and Arc Warden is theoretically punishable by hyper-aggressive itemization.įor most kills we are going with a core hero who is consistent and has a high damage output. Out of all “good last pick = autowin” cheese heroes, Tinker is probably the most reliable one. ![]() However, after the last round of nerfs we feel like the hero will slightly fall off: Enigma is still incredibly strong at level seven, but getting there is a lot more problematic nowadays, since your early level Eidolons can be nuked down quite easily by most supports.įor the highest Win Rate we are going to go with Tinker. If you are a big believer in the TI effect, you could consider Enigma to be the most banned hero as well. The latter is proving to be more and more of a nuisance and is frequently a first phase ban, while the latter typically slips through to the second phase, where he becomes a good, reliable lane support. Undying and Marci seem to be the most consistently contested heroes of the patch. ![]() ![]() ![]() The rear of each bearing surface is then chamfered, meaning the sharp edge left by the cutting tool is removed. By turning it inside the hole I am able to slowly enlarge the hole until the pivot fits perfectly. This tool is a tapered, five sided cutting instrument. This is shown in the photo below and is done with a tool called a broach. The next step is to make them the correct size and fit for the pivot that will turn inside it. The worn holes or bearing surfaces have been repaired but now they are too small. This small hole will be opened up to the proper size later. In order to install a bushing a series of reamers are used to open up the worn hole, being careful to maintain its original center, and then the bushing is tightly pressed into the hole creating a bearing surface that is normally smaller than necessary. The new surface on the right is perfectly round.īushings are small "donut" shaped pieces of metal made of brass or bronze, which are used to replace the metal in the badly worn areas. This error in depth can create additional drag on the gear train and will cause the clock to not function efficiently. This egg shaped hole changes the center distance of the gear’s arbor which in turn changes the depth. If you look closely at the one on the left you can see that the hole is not round but egg shaped. The left photo shows a worn bearing and the right shows the same bearing after a bushing was installed. The picture above shows a before and after of the same bearing surface. One of the main reasons we overhaul a clock is because of worn bearing surfaces. The next step describes this process in more detail. It is done with the help of a tool called a burnisher which is a finely finished, perfectly smooth piece of high quality steel in the shape of a file. This is accomplished without the use of emery buffs, abrasives or polishing compounds of any kind. Note how shiny the apppearance is compared to the rather frosted look of the pivot above. ![]() The bottom picture shows a properly restored pivot. If this occurs it will cause the new bearing surface to wear prematurely. Although this further smooths the surface there is a tendency for small amounts of the emery buff's abrasive particles to embed themselves into the surface of the steel pivot. Most clockmakers will further smooth the pivot with emery buffs and then stop there. The ruts have been removed and the sides are now straight. The middle picture shows the same pivot after being smoothed with a fine file. As dirt mixes in with the oil the dirt acts as an abrasive, cutting into the pivot surface like a file. The first picture shows the badly worn pivot. The single picture below shows three pictures of the very same pivot in various stages of the refinishing process. Therefore it is necessary to refinish both the bearing surface and the pivot. ![]() Not only do the bearing surfaces wear but the pivots that turn in them also wear. If you are having it done somewhere else, you might use this information to make sure that you are receiving your money's worth. If you are considering having a clock movement overhauled this will give you a good understanding of what will be done if we perform the work for you. If we have overhauled a clock for you in the past, you might find it interesting to know how much effort went into your repair. To avoid making this too long we have not included pictures of every small detail. Leaving out these details allow them to charge less but leaves you with an inferior repair.Īlthough this is by no means a complete step-by-step description, we have included the most critical points. I chose this clock movement as an example because it is the most common movement that most repair shops will encounter.Īll repairmen will clean and bush the clock mechanism, but many of them will leave out some of the finer details necessary for a proper repair. For the most part the same steps will apply to almost any type of clock. Below is a description of the many steps involved in the restoration of an antique American clock movement. ![]() ![]() Windows 10 is the first client-server os and windows 11 has TPM chip requirement, to enforce signed binaries, they are putting drm into the OS as anti-piracy mechanism and also so they can take over the internet.Įither way the personal computer is at an end because every tom dick and harry sucked up client-server apps onto their pc's over the last 23 years, future computers will be fisher price locked down devices from windows 10/11 onwards.

Normally, on the standpoint of religion, philosophers were men of science and logic. He also held that another goal of education was not to create a scholarly man, but to create a virtuous man, much like Locke himself. Locke believed that the goal of education was not to raise a man of passion, but to raise one of reason and morals. This is apparent when he explains that moral learning is more important than any other kind of learning. Locke was a general liberal Protestant Christian, meaning he held very strong his values and ethics. The second argument I would like to introduce is John Locke’s personal views on virtues. It is held within the library of knowledge that is our brain, but we simply can not remember it. This also slightly mixes in a single quality of priori knowledge in that once we learn something, it is permanently engraved into our minds, and as we grow older, lose our knowledge as we might, it is simply because we can not recall it. Tabula rasa gives humans the freedom to learn on our own and shape our own characters without having to worry about what might come in our predetermined fates. If every human were to learn through recollection then truly we have no freedom as this means our character and mind are virtually predestined for us. This lets people define who they are, or, their character. This is an important point in Locke’s Some Thoughts Concerning Education because it is the basis for the entirety of this work. Locke held firmly the idea that with the tabula rasa, one is given the ability to bend their mind and tailor themselves to certain ways of learning. ![]() The other method emphasized by Locke is nurturing, humans are taught through action and all learning is just the basic collection of new ideas. These are either through nature, in which we are born with knowledge and that we are basically unlocking it through experience and all learning is basically recollection. This is based off of the basic “nature versus nurture” concept in that humans learn in one of two ways. His work places more emphasis on posteriori knowledge in that this learning method imposes that humans are born with a blank slate in their mind and that as they learn, subjects and ideas are essentially burned into their minds. Order custom essay John Locke’s Some Thoughts Concerning Education Philosophy Essay Locke explains part of a pre-established concept introduced by Aristotle, known as priori and posteriori knowledge. The concept of the tabula rasa, as told by John Locke, delves into the human mind deeper than one could simply comprehend by studying the surface of the human mind. The first subject being covered is the subject of the tabula rasa or blank slate that allows humans to think freely in a sense. This idea covers almost two thirds of his work on education as Locke believes that we should begin teaching humans correctly from a young age.Īll together, John Locke’s work emphasizes three base ideas, the concept of the tabula rasa, moral learning is more important than any other kind of learning, and that children should enjoy learning. One of the most emphasized points in Locke’s work is that children should enjoy learning and that there is no good reason that they should dislike learning and love playing. He believes that education should create a person who obeys reason instead of passion. He believes that learning morals is more important than any other kind of learning. This theory constitutes that humans are born with a blank mind and that as we are taught new concepts, they are inscribed into this blank slate and remain there until we pass on.Īccording to Locke, the goal of education is not to create a scholar, but to create a virtuous man. ![]() This work outlines Locke’s views on how the brain absorbs and remembers new ideas through a theory known as the “tabula rasa” or blank slate.

No technology can be introduced without disruption to the business and teething problems. When the benefits and drivers are identified, they should be assessed against the potential risks of adopting new technology using a risk analysis framework as well as executive intuition to arrive at the decision on whether to adopt it or not. Without a clear understanding of what success will look like and what the benefits will be, any new technology initiative risks failure. The first step is to identify the core benefits and the business drivers. When organisations look to embrace new technology the critical question is “will the rewards outweigh the risks?” Identifying the processes that need improving and then matching the technology that will best fit cultural and future processes is a good formula for success. The focus should be on the jobs people will do, the business processes they will undertake and the improved outcomes both will generate. Without people and process, it cannot work. The hype cycle aside, there is a reliable order in which all technology transformation decisions should be weighed: ![]() To get the most out of technology organisations should view it as a mechanism to change the way an organisation works for the better. New technology will not be the silver bullet it can never fix flawed ways of working. Tapping into industry studies can assist organisations to better understand where a specific technology is on the maturity curve and in turn help them assess the risk profile of pursuing the technology. This measure, among others derived by Gartner, provides insights into where specific technology is on its lifecycle journey from bleeding edge to market acceptance. The Hype Cycle measures the technology’s journey from ‘need’ to ‘hype’ to general industry acceptance. What can the Market Tell Us?įor more than 20 years, Gartner Inc has provided the IT industry with the latest research on new technologies and where they sit on the Hyper Cycle map, a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption for technologies and applications. There are a few critical considerations if leading-edge technology is to be adopted successfully. Whether it is swapping physical data centres for cloud infrastructure, transitioning from traditional LAN-based networks to fully wireless office environments to support activity-based working (ABW) or turning social media into a CRM strategy, the prospect of a simplified and more efficient work environment that also provides a competitive edge is a tempting one.īut is it prudent to adopt the latest and greatest technologies so quickly? And how do you avoid “leading edge” becoming “bleeding edge” where the new technology actually hinders your business growth and effectiveness? Technology is evolving at an ever-increasing rate and the promise of significant advantages over your competitors raises a fundamental question about adoption: when should an organisation embrace leading-edge technology? Leading edge technology can provide a significant advantage for business, but must be implemented well to avoid becoming ‘bleeding’ edge. ![]() |
