![]() With the 3D rollers, any of these techniques will feel world-class, but the one massage that sets the A306 apart is the Yoga Stretch. It offers the typical five techniques that you’ll see across the market: finger pressing, tapping, kneading, Shiatsu, and tapping/ kneading combo. The iRest A306 comes equipped with basic massage techniques and programs that you’d expect from a chair of this price range. iRest A306 Massage Chair Massage Programs Imagine you’re in the middle of a deep tissue massage, fully relaxed, but suddenly you’re jolted back to reality when you hear the A306 say, “I’m here,” just out of the blue. While it sounds space-age, some reviewers wish the chair didn’t come with it because it is easily triggered by other noises, such as the TV. However, the standout accessory of this recliner is the Voice Control function, which allows you to activate massage programs simply by speaking. The A306 has all three, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the most popular add-ons that enthusiasts enjoy the most. User-friendly remote controller: This is crucial to ease the learning curve for beginners.USB port: to effortlessly charge your devices while relaxing.Bluetooth speakers: to connect your smartphone or tablet for crystal clear sound when you want to listen to music during your massage.Truth be told, there are three useful accessories to look out for: IRest made sure the A306 achieves the most lifelike massage possible by incorporating a lengthy 53” S+L Hybrid track. If you’ve got a top-notch track and roller system, then you can count on your massages to feel akin to the touch of human hands. S+L Hybrid Massage Track & 3D Roller System In this regard, the A306 certainly doesn’t disappoint. What matters is the massage quality, and that starts with the track and roller system. The iRest A306 offers a technology package that is above average but certainly not state-of-the-art. Now it’s time to look at the wheels and cogs behind that fine faux leather exterior. The A306 doesn’t look like your local coin-operated mall massage chair!Īnd the features? We think you’ll like what you see. Still, for the low price, you get all of the elegance. Overall, we love the chair’s design, but admittedly some iRest A306 reviews found the padding to be thin on the lower back, causing discomfort from the rollers. The A306 comes in black and brown, with colored soft glowing LED lights on the side panels. The massage chair market is notorious for catering to an average weight of 260 pounds, so it’s nice to see a brand that’s branching out and embracing diversity. We were excited to see that it can hold a max weight of 300 pounds, which is rare to find. The A306 can accommodate a max height of 6’2”, which is above average, although we’ve seen chairs that do offer more range than that. They also added an adjustable footrest that extends an extra 7” for tall users. Generally, the best chairs have a 5” or less wall clearance. That’s as good as it gets compared to other models. You get a slim 2” clearance between the backrest and wall when the A306 is fully reclined. The dimensions are average at 70.87 x 29.92 x 33.46 inches, and the chair weighs 200 pounds, so those with limited space should be aware that this is a whopper of a recliner that needs a good bit of space.įortunately, iRest made life easier by incorporating Space Saving Technology. We were even surprised to see Voice Command as a way to control the chair, so there are few shiny extras you get that you normally wouldn’t see for this price.Įven the design is elegant and contemporary, with smooth rounded edges and footwells that don’t stick out like a sore thumb. The iRest A306 keeps things functional and to the point, with a no-nonsense S+L track, 3D rollers, and Zero-G Seating. Nor does that mean the technology is outdated- quite the opposite, actually. It’s a standard recliner boasting a modest set of features, but that doesn’t take away from the quality of the massage. Take the iRest A306 massage chair, which is the star of our review today. They offer a full-fledged collection of luxury massage chairs at affordable prices, with the latest features that have hobbyists buzzing. The Chinese brand iRest was founded in 2003, specializing in massage appliance technology. With 3D rollers, a 53” S+L track, and Zero-G seating, you may not have to visit the chiropractor for a while! iRest A306 Massage Chair Design Overview In our iRest A306 review, we take a look at a low-range model that offers some serious bang for the buck. In this case, we’re talking about a massage chair under $2000 and the advanced technology it utilizes to provide relaxing, therapeutic benefits.

![]() These are microbes like Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii, which could consume the atmospheric carbon monoxide that seeps into Mars's soil-the only readily available source of energy. "What varies is the degree of tolerance," he says, "but there is absolutely enormous metabolic and biochemical potential that already exists in microbes everywhere on Earth."įirst, and perhaps most obviously, we'd have to identify microbes with the skills that seem to best match this grand Martian challenge. According to King, though, we've already found microbes on Earth that can tackle (at least individually) every curveball Mars could throw, from radiation resistance to the ability to survive long (even multi-year) stretches in a deep-freeze. It's clear that Mars presents any first-generation microbe with a slew of major challenges, including (but certainly not limited to): extremely limited amounts of hyper-salty liquid water, incredibly cold and radically swinging temperatures, and little protection from the harsh radiation of space. In other words, wherever Mars's subsurface water pools the most, that's where we'll want to start. On Earth, King adds, no matter how extreme an environment ("from the dry Atacama desert to geothermal vents under the Atlantic," he says) life almost always finds a way.Īs for finding the most potentially habitable spot, "that's a task which I think basically continues to come down to a question of water," King says. However, "there's no reason to suspect that the entirety of the planet is effectively sterile-that Mars is so limiting, and so extreme, that it can't support any microbial life anywhere," King says. The scant amount of subsurface water recently discovered does not suddenly transform Mars into a fertile Eden. If we want to grow life in the watery-subsurface of Mars, King says, the opening move is identifying the right spot to start. And for future (human) Mars colonists, this terraforming could not only make the Red Planet more habitable, but a colony more sustainable and independent from Earth. Like a series of scaffolds, each generation of new terraforming microorganisms could make Mars more suitable for the next wave of life. And "over the long term, a different atmospheric composition could be more suitable for a wider range of life than the current atmosphere could support," King says. First, it would insulate the planet due to a greenhouse effect-both warming it up and making liquid water more widely available. The bigger question is, why? Why the heck we would even want to seed Mars with Earth bacteria and other microorganisms? What could we possibly gain?Īll those atmospheric changes the bacteria begin could serve a few purposes. We owe all our planet's atmospheric oxygen to microbe photosynthesis. Such a process has already been proven already in Earth's history, King says. Microorganisms that munch on Mars's natural resources could not only transform the red planet's soil, but could pump out gasses to bolster the Mars's embarrassingly thin atmosphere to boot. But because the Red Planet's has that life-friendly trio-the energy sources, nutrients and water-we could grow microbial life there ourselves. We may never find native Martian microbes, and they may, in fact, be long gone. To Gary King, a microbiologist at Louisiana State University who studies life that survives in extreme environments, this presents humanity with an amazing opportunity. But it certainly looks at least possible that there could be environmental niches, probably connected to one of these brines, where life could thrive." The scientists behind the water discovery, including Morten Bo Madsen at the Niels Bohr Institute, say that " finding life on Mars still doesn't look very probable, because it's simply just too cold and/or too dry" on large swaths of the planet. We now know Mars has soil-bound nutrients, a carbon monoxide energy source for hungry microbes, and liquid water. Nonetheless, it completes the trifecta of requirements for Earth-like life. Still, this is no life-friendly oasis: The water is hyper-salty, ultra-cold, and contained in fleeting layers of sludge trapped beneath the red planet's regolith soil. ![]() Back in April, NASA's Curiosity rover found evidence of liquid water on Mars. ![]() Three syllables – Stress can be on the first, second, or third syllable, depending on how the word ends.Second syllable examples: record (re-CORD), combine (come-BINE), and insist (in-SIST).First syllable examples: happy (HAP-py), little (LIT-tle), and running (RUN-ning).Generally, two-syllable nouns, adjectives, and adverbs stress the first syllable, while two-syllable verbs stress the second syllable. Two syllables – Stress the first or second syllable.One syllable – Stress the first (and only) syllable.So, how do you determine which syllables to stress? While there are certain exceptions, you can generally use the following English pronunciation rules for shorter words: Without the right stress on certain syllables, your speech might sound like a robot! This means that, in words with more than one syllable, one syllable will sound a little longer and louder than the others. “Syllable stress” refers to the syllable in a word that gets more emphasis than the others. ![]() When you say a word that only has one syllable, you only have one syllable to stress. Syllable StressĬlick below to listen to a recording of this passage. For example, the word “outside” has 4 vowels, but only two syllables, because -ou only counts as one vowel sound, while -i…e combine to form the long “i” sound (like in the word “pie”), even though they are separated by a consonant. Some vowel sounds are silent, while other sounds are made up of two different vowels. Additionally, the number of syllables is not necessarily equal to the number of vowels. While the majority of English words have between 1-4 syllables, some words have as many as 19! This means that counting the number of syllables is not always easy. All ig at or – 4 syllables, 4 vowels (All-i-ga-tor).T om orr ow – 3 syllables, 3 vowels (To-mor-row).Ord er – 2 syllables, 2 vowels (Or-der). ![]() Few tries later and you should have gotten your footing. However, it would be helpful to point out that configuring it could be challenging for you. Installing LiteManager Pro is pretty straightforward.

LiteManager Free is a powerful tool to remotely control up to 30 computers for free. ![]() Lets lets just get these drones in the air, and maybe we can control them. Wouldnt make it a one shot, because it does like 72 damage, which is literally like the bare minimum. To use, i mean what oh, i thought i was going to say: how did that not one shot? It should always one shot, except actually, maybe a little bit of a health increase. Now that im actually in an actual match and not getting any, kills come on die there we go, i got him, but its still at least fun. Maybe its like the farther range you get the harder it is to control, but i dont really know its weird its hard to like actually see where the drones are too, because they look the same at all distances its, not really overpowered. It was called like the its like anti aircraft module because i did the entire set and i used the anti aircraft module and that one was so much better close range than it was long range, so maybe thats just how it is with all these weapons. But i did a damage test and review on the whats. But i dont know because i feel like thats, not true, because both if you guys remember very very few people actually saw the video. ![]() I got him, i dont know its a oh theres weapons right there, cool okay, so this is just a weird weapon.īasically, it can be kind of hard to control the missiles and it might be better if i jump into a longer range map. No, i missed the last one, and now now i cant hit anything bro there we go. So maybe its the fact that the weapon is just slow, maybe you just move slow with the weapon which actually makes sense boom one shot all right. I need to get used to this weapon and i also need to get used to the game again and if youre wondering why im so freaking slow its because i have all my wear off right now, except for my boots, which actually wouldnt make me slow. ![]() For some reason, this is like my first time playing this game in days, so i hope that my gameplay isnt complete and utter trash come on bro dang it i dont know its weird. I think that thats, what makes it cool and also you have it has to be like direct hits if you do like uh, if you, if you do it like with area damage um its gon na, take more hits, because that does less damage. I mean its its all right, because actually the missile control can kind of mess you up sometimes but um i dont know. Another kill, oh my gosh, its actually like a really good one. But oh there we go theres a kill boom boom boom theres. Okay, obviously whats really cool about this weapon is you guys can actually control the way the rockets move and its very weird, and sometimes it can be like it.ĭoesnt always work 100 of the time. I sense all right, thanks for helping me out with this damage test and lets just jump into the regular matches. I dont have any modular stuff on so this weapon is going to be overpowered. One shots but also three shots at the same time, so thats pretty good, guys, im, not gon na lie and keep in mind. You go all right, ready stand still and one two three yep it it one shot. I want to test that, though, to make sure come on, you can do it there. If i hit all three drones, it will one shot i want to. I actually got a single drone lets go so a single drone does 72 damage, meaning hypothetically. What i want to see here is how many shots one drone does so im just gon na try and do this really quick boom. He is a subscriber and hes in my discord server and were just going to jump right into this and see how much damage it does all right. Is that what its called on a drone combat station? My bad and i will be joined by z here. But this dude is: let me turn off my pet yeah today ill be reviewing the drone station. So i didnt make any videos and im behind on the new traders van the new community traders van. ago When you are using a Tricaster, the question is always when it will crash, not if.

"He decided to write the song in memory of the families left behind." "He felt very badly when The Edmund Fitzgerald went down," she continued. "He's had his eye on the big vessels for years. "We grew up in Orillia, Ont., which is right near Georgian Bay," she said. Lightfoot has been fascinated by the Great Lakes for years, according to his sister and office manager, Bev Lightfoot of Toronto. Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams Just one week before he went down with the Edmund Fitzgerald, he sent his wife a postcard. Rafferty, a 44-year-veteran of Great Lakes waters, had signed on the big freighter only three weeks before the tragedy. The "old cook" of the Fitzgerald was Robert Rafferty, 62, of Toledo. He said "Fellas it's been good to know ya" Sayin' "Fellas it's too rough to feed ya" When suppertime came the old cook came on deck At that moment, radio contact was lost, and the Edmund Fitzgerald disappeared from the other ship's radar screen. McSorley calmly said he was sure his pumps could handle any excess water, although waves as high as 30 feet were hammering the ship as it headed for (the relative safety of) Whitefish Bay. More: This week in Michigan history: Edmund Fitzgerald sinks that evening that his ship was taking water through two hatches. The vessel's captain, Ernest McSorley, 63, a veteran skipper with more than 40 years of experience on the Great Lakes, radioed to a nearby ship around 7 p.m. The 729-foot freighter simply disappeared from the radar screen of a nearby vessel, after battling 25-foot waves and 80-mile-an-hour winds on Lake Superior about 60 miles northwest of Sault Ste. ![]() The Edmund Fitzgerald was lost in similar fashion last Nov. Five of the ships simply vanished without a trace. In November 1913, for example, a savage five-day story sent 12 ships to the bottom and killed 248 men.

The wind in the wires made a tattletale soundĪnd every man knew as the captain did too The album, ironically, is entitled "Summertime Dream."īut there is no hint of summer in the moody strains of the "Edmund Fitzgerald." The lyrics are funeral the beat is heavily syncopated, recalling the pitch and roll of a great ship in heavy water. Garland said the song was "in the top five" in requests each day at CKLW, and that the single went from 14th to seventh in sales in the Detroit area last week. Les Garland, program director for CKLW radio in Windsor, says the song is being played an average of once every three hours on his station, a frequency that only the biggest hits receive. It has caught on in New York, Boston and Houston and is starting to be played on West Coast stations. The appeal of the song is not limited to the Midwest. "So we decided to release it as a single two weeks ago, and it's now our hottest single." "The whole thing caught us by surprise," he added. ![]() More: Gordon Lightfoot, 'Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' singer, dies at 84 1 in Great Lakes cities," says Bob Merlis, of Warner Brothers Records.

Of course, the GIMP version may be different for you mine is 2.10. It should be called something like this: GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins.

In the left column, find the Folders menu and click on it. Click on the GIMP menu and choose Preferences. Resynthesizer downloads in a zip file, so double-click on it to extract the files. Everything you see here is done on a Mac. Please keep in mind that you need to find the right file for your operating system. I’ll use the Resynthesizer plugin as an example, which you can download here. Once you find the plugin you want, download it to your computer. Installing GIMP plugins Download your file If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be on such a list, right? This way, you’ll also find safe downloads and you don’t have to worry about the plugins being useful. You can search for “The best plugins of this year for GIMP.” There are tons of websites that make lists and reviews about these kinds of things. If you find an article that’s too old, you might not find the plugin anymore, or the plugin may not be compatible with your GIMP version. Since you know that the recommendation comes from a plugin user, you know it’s safe and you can also see if it’s what you’re looking for.Īlways look at the date the recommendation was published and click on the most recent suggestions. These results will give you suggestions for different plugins that have this functionality, and often they’ll even share the link so you can download it. Start by searching for guides or tutorials on what you want to do, for example: “How to do Content Aware Resizing in GIMP?” Here are some tips to make your search more efficient: Look for tutorials Fortunately, in this day and age, you can find anything just by Googling.Īs you know, search engines like Google will show you a lot of results some of it can be outdated, other results can even be a virus, so be careful with what you download. There used to be one registry that held all the plugins, scripts, images, and files, but it’s not active anymore. Because neither GIMP nor the plugins are made by one developer, there isn’t a website that you can go to find a list with links. This is where it starts to get more tricky. So while you might find GIMP to be somewhat basic at first, once you start adding plugins and scripts you’ll see that it really has a lot to offer. Well, GIMP has scripts to automate processes and save you time and effort. You’ve probably heard of Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets, both of which are scripts. Since we are already talking about expanding the capabilities of software, scripts are another essential add-on to be aware of. As a result, the software gets more powerful and gains more capabilities.Ĭommercial software has plugins, too ( Photoshop, for example). It can be a filter, a tool, or a library that isn’t included in the original source code. What are plugins?Ī plugin is an add-on that gives more functions to a program. Here’s an introductory guide to get you started. So you might need some time to get used to it. That’s why everybody keeps telling you GIMP is amazing because it’s “open source.” On the other hand, GIMP is not as user-friendly as other programs. ![]() Instead, an open-source program can be used, modified, and distributed by anyone. You have to pay a license to use such a program, and you can’t change it in any way. In commercial software, this code is protected by copyright. When a developer builds software, they write lines of text in a specific programming language. Hopefully, this article can save you some time and turn you into an avid GIMP user, as well. But now I actually prefer GIMP to Photoshop for certain edits. My first few attempts to use GIMP were quite off-putting, and when I tried to install a plugin I ended up completely frustrated. Have you heard all about how GIMP is free and open-source, but you’ve struggled to embrace the program? Well, I was like that at first that’s why I decided to make this guide on installing GIMP plugins from one non-techie to another. |
