On-sale dates for products containing the 2022 American Women Quarters Program will be published on the Mint’s Product Schedule here. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2022.” Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flannigan design. Fraser’s design depicts a portrait of George Washington, which was originally composed and sculpted as a candidate to mark George Washington’s 200th birthday. The obverse design of all coins in the American Women Quarters Program is by Laura Gardin Fraser, one of the most prolific female sculptors of the early 20th century, whose works span the art and numismatic worlds. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “QUARTER DOLLAR,” and “ANNA MAY WONG.” This design features a close-up image of Anna May Wong with her head resting on her hand, surrounded by the bright lights of a marquee sign.

Four 1/2″ x 4″ carriage bolts with four washers and four wing nuts.It’s a pretty easy project you can complete in a day with a few things. Making your own bean bag toss is a great idea because you can customize and decorate it however you want. Giant bean bag tossĬornhole is one of the classic lawn games that is easy to play for all ages. You can go as easy as painting an old blanket or sheet and using plastic red and black plates, or you can create a mat that’s a bit more durable, with this idea that uses astro turf and bucket lids for a fun game that will last for years. They’re relatively simple to make, requiring little time and effort, and can be constructed a variety of ways with several choices for materials, depending on your preference. With giant chess or checkers, you turn classic indoor board games into outdoor games that everyone can enjoy together. Stack the pieces and get ready to play!.Sand the Jenga pieces using an orbital saw or benchtop belt sander to make each piece smooth on the sides and edges.Use the remaining 2” x 4” boards to cut 54 Jenga pieces, 10 ½” each.Attach the 2” x 4” boards to the plywood to form a platform. Make a frame out of the 2” x 4” boards by cutting them to 15” and 18” using the saw. Build the Jenga platform with ¾” plywood cut into an 18” by 18” square.One 2? x 4” x 6' pine board to make the sides for 18? x 18? plywood base.Six 2? x 4? x 8' pine boards to make 54, 10 1/2? pieces.Making an outdoors version of giant Jenga is great because you can play it with large groups and have plenty of space for everyone to gather around it. Watching a teetering tower of wooden blocks sway is a blast, especially when you do it on a larger scale. ![]() When you plan your next summer themed party, your new collection of giant outdoor games can serve as the perfect form of entertainment for people young and old. Better yet, there are many DIY giant yard games, which allows you to customize them to suit you, save money, and have fun making them. ![]() These days, giant yard games are popping up in backyards and on restaurant patios, making the much-loved tradition of games easier for big groups to play together. Summertime is the perfect season to gather your friends and family together for some outdoor fun and games. ![]() 3 Easy DIY Giant Yard Games July 24, 2018 Stage pianos Electric pianos Ĭlavinova CVP-303 (finishes: default = dark rosewood, C = cherry, M = mahogany, PE = polished ebony, PM = polished mahogany) TransAcoustic (Silent with a transducer added to essentially make the piano one big speaker)įound in uprights: U1, U3, YUS1, YUS3, YUS5 and Grands GC1 and C1X according to Hybrid pianos Hybrid grand pianos SH series silent modules found in more up market models such as Uprights P116, P121, U1, U3, YUS1, YUS3, YUS5, SE122, SE132, SU7 and Grand S3X, S5X, S6X, S7X, C1X, C2X, C3X, C3X Chrome, C5X, C6X, GC1 and GC2.

You may be interested in an answer I posted recently showing how to set the PulseAudio Equalizer from the command-line.Silent piano system silencer & optical sensor, with PCM sound & MIDI recorder unit I kind of wish that audio stuff on Linux had better documentation and error reporting. This is why I have -no-remix -no-remap in paplay above I just want the raw channel ordering for the sox command. I originally created an ALSA device wrapping the PulseAudio device, but then I found that it is impossible to control the channel mapping using ALSA, and so random channels were getting mixed together according to how my custom channel-map differed from the ALSA default. In this example we have a six-channel device and we're sending a tone to the third channel. It is much more powerful but we only use the basic functionality here. The remix effect is just used to send the result to a specific channel. sox-paplay synth sine 1000 gain -5 remix -m 0 0 1 0 0 0 Sox -c $NCHAN -n -t raw -r $HZ -L -b 16 - | paplay -no-remix -no-remap -raw -v -p -rate $HZ -d $SINK -channels $NCHANĮ.g. The pipeline is tedious so I created a script: $ cat sox-paplay I had trouble interfacing SoX with PulseAudio so I just pipe sox raw data into paplay. There were some stumbling blocks but I was eventually able to figure it out. You can easily synthesize tones with SoX. Further, as there's no named cosine type, p0.25 is the way to turn sine into cosine (or p0.75 for negative cosine). Adding p0.5 sets phase to 50% of the wave cycle (negative half). sin but not saw), is to set the phase using a lowercase p. Old edit: I'm indeed the developer of the program.Īlso, an alternative way of flipping the amplitude (for some wave types, e.g. Any numbers from "(-1.0)" to "1.0" can also be used for such values. The cs are for changing the channel mixing (L = hard left, R = hard right) from the default (C = center). This is also short enough that it can instead simply be ran as a one-liner directly. ![]() To generate two stereo-separated 100 Hz waves, one a sine and one a triangle, and one with inverted amplitude, the following script can be pasted into a file and ran through the program (as in.

He set traps to keep people on their toes he would ask members of the audience to verify that a glass was empty and then berate them for not noticing that it was full of air.Īustralian newspapers published a daily question posed by Miller, a ‘Millergram’, and also an answer to the previous day’s question. Each session had a strong element of drama and was punctuated loudly with phrases such as ‘Watch it now! Watch it!’ or ‘He who is not stirred by the beauty of it is already dead!’. Bubbling with infectious enthusiasm not normally associated with the serious scientist, he brought each presentation to life with details of the history of the subject and the origins and meanings of the words used to describe it. He preferred to encourage his audience to seek the answers. Delighting in showing ‘how Nature worked its wondrous ways’, he rarely offered any detailed explanations. He also presented a television program entitled ‘Why Is It So?’ for the Australian Broadcasting Commission. In addition to recording science shows in the USA, he appeared on popular television programs, including ‘The Groucho Marx Show’, Walt Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ and Johnny Carson’s ‘The Tonight Show’.įrom 1962 to 1986 Miller made twenty-seven visits to Australia, primarily to give demonstrations and lectures at the annual science school for high-school students in the physics department at the University of Sydney, organised by Professor Harry Messel. He was a visiting lecturer (1965-85) at the US Air Force Academy. ![]() He earned his living as a butler for two years.Įmployed by Dillard University, New Orleans (1937-38, 1941-52) and El Camino College, California (1953-74), Miller worked in their physics departments. On 21 April 1934 at Brookline, Massachusetts, he married Alice Marion Brown, a maid they had no children. Julius was educated at local schools and at Boston University (BS, 1932 MA, 1933) and the University of Idaho (MS, 1940). He was named Julius Simon but later took the name Sumner. His father had come to the USA from Latvia and his mother from Lithuania. Julius Sumner Miller (1909-1987), physicist, science educator and television performer, was born on at Billerica, Massachusetts, United States of America, youngest of nine children of Samuel Miller, farmer, and his wife Sarah, née Newmark. National Library of Australia, nla.pic-vn3086852 Julius Sumner Miller, by John Milligan, 1968 But there's enough which sets them apart, and some ways the Kobo notebook improves on the Scribe. The Elipsa 2E has the same sized 10.2-inch display, the battery lasts weeks, and even the design is similar. It's similar to the Kindle Scribe in a lot of ways. The Kobo Elipsa 2E is an e-book reader to be proud of, but it's also a solid alternative to Amazon's Kindle Scribe - and well worth considering even if you're already tied into Amazon's ecosystem. The Kindle Scribe isn't the only game in town for a big ol' smart notebook, and Kobo has been in this game for longer than Amazon. It’s an expensive device, but it is versatile, and the overall quality of the writing and reading experience is high enough that it justifies the cost. Despite the size, the Kindle Scribe is easy to hold, mostly due to the thin and lightweight design, along with the enlarged bezel down one side. That’s good for a device with a 10.2-inch screen and an adjustable LED backlight. The Kindle Scribe’s battery should last for around a month before it needs recharging, even with daily use. Anything you write on the Scribe can be viewed in the Kindle app on another device. You can upgrade to a Premium Pen, which is also battery-free and has an eraser function and a shortcut button to access different writing functions. When it's not in use, the Basic Pen magnetically attaches to the side of the Kindle Scribe, and because the included Pen is passive, you don’t need to charge a battery inside it, meaning it’s always ready for use. Best of all, the writing experience feels exactly like putting a regular pen on normal paper. You can read e-books, just like all the other e-ink Kindle products, but you can also write on the screen using the included Basic Pen. Sleek, minimalist, and multifunctional - the Amazon Kindle Scribe is unlike any Kindle that came before it. Here are some of the best smart notebooks you can buy today, so you can go beyond just using a note-taking app on your phone. ![]() Smart notebooks come in a variety of forms, from physical notebooks with scanning apps to tablets with e-ink displays and styluses, and picking the right one for you is an important task. Having a search function is a big one, but there are also notebooks which can convert your handwriting into text, or upload your notes to a cloud storage platform, so you can access them from any other smart device or computer. ![]() There are a lot of reasons to store your notes digitally. A smart notebook can save you a lot of space by keeping everything stored digitally. ![]() Whatever you use your notebooks for, it's likely you have big stacks of notebooks, and no idea what to do with them. Notebooks are a way of life for many, and those people certainly couldn't imagine ever being without their prized notebooks, whether to jot down a quick idea, or to scribble a drawing in a spare moment. ![]() Maybe one day we'll see some glide-ogl(or vk) bridge built-in right into Mesa. However since there's about 2 games that are really worth getting it to work, I'll survive without native nglide or something similar. Admittedly Glide emulation side is in a bad shape tho. And I do occasionally battle with running me some DOS oldie, be it with DOSBOX or even dosemu (dosemu2 these days, which even comes with KVM acceleration, yay!). Yet since you mention "people (like me) trying to run old Windows or MS-DOS games on modern PCs with Windows 10" let's talk about practice.Īnd the very first Q will be WHY? Why would do you try it on W10 apart from being a windoze slave knowing nothing but windoze? I for one wouldn't, haven't even had wincrap on my home PC for a long time now. My post was entirely observational, nothing practical attached. That also needs all kinds of tricks and black magic, in the form of DOSBox, ScummVM, VirtualMIDISynth, Munt, dgVoodoo2 etc. Timppu: I personally don't find that any funnier than people (like me) trying to run old Windows or MS-DOS games on modern PCs with Windows 10. It also helps that I don't use our Android tablet almost at all, and am not that interested in playing anything on the tiny screen of my Android phone. some emulated, two player, arcade/console/MS-DOS games on Raspberry Pi 4, simply because that computer just happens to be connected to our big TV where such two-player/split screen games work better.Īt this point I am not interested in trying to run PC games on tablets because I feel the lack of a mouse and keyboard for games that expect them is just not "worth it". ![]() I am still setting up so that me and my kids could play e.g. I guess people do it because they want to play their games on devices which they use often, like their tablets etc. The only difference is that I use the command "wine StarCraft.exe" instead of a mere "StarCraft.exe". StarCraft, it didn't need more for me than just copying the StarCraft game files into my Linux box, and running the game with "wine StarCraft.exe", and the game runs just as good as it does on Windows 7 or 10. Not much different from trying to run a Windows game in Linux with WINE. Learning (learning as in getting totally confused) about OSes and architectures at last) I personally don't find that any funnier than people (like me) trying to run old Windows or MS-DOS games on modern PCs with Windows 10. Osm: it's kinda funny (like in schadenfreude-funny) to read thread after thread pop up here or elswhere in which ppl are clumsily trying to get out of their Windows-comfort zone. These days, they even package half their games with the same cross-platform ScummVM. GOG care more about not pirating than worry about on which device in your house you play on. People have also been running GOG DOS games under ScummVM for Android for tablets & Raspberry Pi's too for years with GOG's blessing. You should be fine as long as it's your own device and you aren't uploading it anywhere. Those mini combined Bluetooth keyboard and touchpads can be a good idea too that can eliminate the need for "overlay" on-screen keyboards (and fingers getting in the way of what you're trying to see).Ģ. exe installer itself is generally useless to Android, you'll probably need to install on PC, then copy the installed folder over to a micro-SD memory card / via USB. conf files as some tweaking may be involved, eg, including a disc as an ISO that's "mounted" by DOS as a fake CD drive may be needed for some, or tweaking the default game speed / customizing keyboards / controllers. It does help if you know how to add games to DOSBox on the PC and understand. Some games will play better on an 8-10" tablet than a small phone screen (eg, small UI elements). How well it "translates" depends on game & screen size. It will obviously depend on the game as they were nearly all designed for keyboard / mouse / "joystick" and not touch-screens but many will technically run. Yes it's technically possible and I've successfully tested that in the past. ![]() However, many suppliers offer sustainable options that use safer treatment methods, so ask your supplier about their environmental policies and options. It’s also worth noting that pressure-treated wood is not the most eco-friendly option, as the chemicals used in the treatment process can harm the environment. Pressure-treated deck prices range from affordable $27 to $37 per square foot – depending on the quality, thickness, and where you get it from – ensuring this is an excellent option for anyone on a budget but still wanting something high quality and reliable. ![]() On top of being simple to install, pressure-treated wood also gives off a natural aesthetic to give your outdoor space the perfect touch. This type of wood is made from softwood treated with preservatives to ensure it won’t succumb to rot, insects, or decay. Pressure-treated wood is an appealing and pocket-friendly option for decking in Toronto. This valuable information can help determine which material suits your needs while staying within the desired budget.Ĭost to build a deck material and labor Deck material Our article provides an overview of available material options for building a deck in Toronto, along with their estimated current cost to build a deck. With so many materials available in today’s market, each option brings unique features and advantages to consider to make the best decision for your space and budget. Building a deck requires planning, preparation, and budgeting, so it’s essential to consider all of the different material options before starting. Decks are a great addition to any backyard in Toronto (Greater Toronto area) – providing outdoor space for entertainment, leisure activities, and gatherings with friends and family. From that age onward, however, they take on something more like a chimpanzee with fur the color of their skin, and large, floppy, mouse-like ears. From birth up until roughly the age of 135 (equivalent of human age 45), they resemble blue or green-skinned elves in appearance, and are actually quite easy on the eyes. The Yodarians’ background is largely mysterious. Races- Note that this list will be updated with any and all approved custom races as they surface. Also, being part of any faction is optional in itself if you want to be neutral, that's fine too. I have lists for some "standard" races and factions down below, which you may select from if you so choose. While these suggestions are indeed open, they are not required. For example, if you wanted to implement a custom race, you'd need to describe their appearance, and provide a decent backstory for me to base their culture and lifestyle on. If there's such a suggestion you'd like to make, please PM me about it, along with a background description of the addition you're suggesting. That said, each race/faction suggestion will have to go through an approval process by yours truly - the GM - before being implemented. The lore of Jet Force Gemini is built in a way that lets such additions be made rather easily, within reason. Character creation- Your ability to customize your character is relatively flexible here, and I will allow for suggestions of custom-made races and/or factions. They can’t afford this tech falling into the wrong hands, especially with the recent rises in Drone piracy raids. Baum of Baumtech Inc., supplier of top-notch military technology to Jet Force, is making a special (and private) announcement on a new prototype at this year’s Interstellar Tech Showcase, which Jet Force itself has sent operatives to for security. To address concerns on the Omnis Domina raids, Chairman Robert A. To make matters worse, Jet Force Commander-in-Chief Juno has gone missing, and the resulting dent In strategic efficiency has actually caused some ground to be lost in anti-piracy efforts. Their raids often involve highly-advanced weaponry of truly formidable power, which has made their insignia one that merchants avoid at all costs. ![]() Without a Mizar-like leader to unite them, the Drones have devolved into a number of space-pirate clans, and raiding operations from the “Omnis Domina” clan are proving notably more troublesome than before. Sadly, even today, peace is not universal. The Tribals have rebuilt much of their society as well, though the global devastation on the now-swampy Tawfret remains irrevocable. Each of the Greek alphabet letters has regained its own team, and while Juno, Vela, and Lupus have been promoted to the top-brass rank of Alpha, their spots on Gemini team have been given to three volunteers. Over the 60 years between Mizar’s defeat, and the present day, Jet Force team has slowly rebuilt itself. The Earth is saved, the Tribals are freed, and Gemini team is awarded a bunch of medals in a Star Wars-esque ending ceremony. They gun down the tyrant for good, and with the help of a defected Drone assault robot Floyd, demolish the Asteroid into tiny bits. ![]() After a much more extensive series of events, Tribal rescues, and scavenger hunts, they are able to repair the ship, and chase down the asteroid as it's drawing dangerously close to Earth. The Tribal king Jeff reveals that he has an ancient ship built by their race's ancestors, which is their only shot at reaching the asteroid in time.but it has missing parts. Mizar actually survives the battle, and hijacks a passing asteroid with which he aims to destroy Earth. Through a series of varied events, violent shoot-outs, and brutal boss battles with Mizar's top-class military units, the three Gemini team operatives meet back up at Mizar's palace, where they pump the despot full of lead.or so they think. Out of options, the three abandon ship in their personal craft, with Juno holding the Drones back as Vela and Lupus escape, then taking his own craft down to the nearby planet Goldwood. ![]() Unfortunately, a Drone Spawnship tracks them down, and sends Soldier Drones in to board them. They had recently fled from a large battle between the insect tyrant Mizar and his massive Drone armada, vs the rest of Jet Force, which was decimated by the seemingly-endless swarms of Drone opposition. Its crew is composed of Juno, a calm and strategic field-op Vela, Juno's hot-blooded twin sister and Lupus, the cyborg war-hound they have as a combat-specialized pet. The game begins with the battle-damaged starship of Jet Force's Gemini team drifting through space. * The above information is for reference only.
