![]() As always, there are far more officer sources (notably here Robert McCormick and the genius naturalist Joseph Dalton Hooker) than those of regular seamen. The prose style is fluent, though Palin might have allowed himself more jokes and fewer anachronisms (“on all accounts a bit of a drip” “there was no plan B”). ![]() Plucky Inuit recount meetings with starving white men who stagger around after their ships have sunk It is an epic story, full of appalling human suffering (everyone died) and one constantly revised as fresh discoveries float to the surface. It is a well-known tale, replete with human bones in kettles, plucky Inuit recounting meetings with starving white men who stagger around after their ships have sunk and the efforts of Lady Jane Franklin (she of the terrible handwriting, to anyone that has researched the archives) to dispatch rescue ships. That story begins two-thirds of the way through Palin’s book. It was Franklin who later captained Erebus on its final mission (by then installed with a steam-driven, screw-propeller system), a doomed assault on the Northwest Passage, the fabled trade route to the riches of Cathay, again accompanied by the loyal Terror. On its way south, the three-masted Erebus had stopped off at Tasmania, then Van Diemen’s Land, and met the useless Lt Governor John Franklin. They didn’t make their goal of the south magnetic pole but, writes Palin, “never again, in the annals of the sea, would a ship, under sail alone, come close to matching what she and Terror had achieved”. It is hard to imagine what the Erebus crew thought and felt as they sailed along the 30-metre (98ft) high ice cliffs of this shelf the size of France.Įrebus and Terror were the first sailing ships to break through the pack and the first to discover that an Antarctic continent existed. The crew enjoyed a double allowance of rum to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday. In September 1839, accompanied by HMS Terror, it dropped her pilot off Deal in Kent and spent four years on an Antarctic adventure, where the dashing James Clark Ross captained her to the Barrier, or the Ross ice shelf as it was then known. Erebus spent two years patrolling the Mediterranean “to annoy the Turks”, then its life as a warship ended. ![]() After Waterloo, the navy was at a loose end. Erebus was never actually directly mentioned in the series.Palin is strong on historical context.It is sometimes used interchangeably with Tartarus. In some stories, Erebus is a region of the Underworld where the dead had to pass immediately after dying. It was quite easy for a god-emperor like him to call back his followers. When Apollo questioned how the Germani that Nero had with him were here despite being from ancient times, Nero responded that souls always escaped from Erebos even before Gaea commandeered the Doors of Death. Percy sees the place Erebos in the distance as he makes his way towards the River Styx after escaping from Hades' Palace. Percy Jackson sees the part of the Underworld called Erebos while he is on Charon's barge when he enters the Underworld for the first time. Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief

The Parks Project Tee is slightly longer which I really like. I have whittled my way down from my former larger self to a medium, and these fit quite comfortable. The Parks Project Tees themselvesįor the shirts themselves, they look good and the fit is right on. “Leave it better than you found it”, or “leave no trace” are common monikers with regard to our natural wonders.

Not just by raising money, but putting in the sweat equity to remove invasive plant species or restoring a hiking trail.Īs I found my way through their website, the “shop” tab leads you to some really creatively designed shirts, key chains, hats, etc. This is where the mission seems to take on some real traction.

The amazing folks at Park Project have taken this love for our national parks a big step further by reaching out to our younger generations with some cool almost hipster-like shirts.

In Germany, there is a word called Gram, which is not so common anymore and describes a persistent, gnawing sorrow. In my quest to put into words the music of "Undreams," the second album from the Stockholm-based three-piece band, this word kept coming to mind.įascinatingly frozen by the fragile beauty in which the songs are written, the minimalist, unfiltered rawness captivates me and yet always reflects the sound of this brokenness on one's own being like a mirror. "Undreams" comes seven years after the debut album "Cradle of Snake". These seven years have done the band more than good. The dark sound of their songs has nothing in common with the adolescent melancholy of some contemporaries. It is not egocentric or even narcissistic, but and forgive me this word, because it is equally uncommon in this context, caring. He wraps you gently like your favorite blanket on a gray autumn day, gives you soft, flickering light on a nightly walk, he comforts quietly, knowing full well that danger is not banished by a hum, he says the world is not a good place, but we have it in our hands, as long as we stick together, to change that. It may sound presumptuous, but "Undreams" showcases all the skills Mia, Tess and Frankie have acquired over the years in their bands and solo projects. The International Love Corporation is a project formed by former Out of My Hair front man and songwriter Comfort aka Simon Eugene. A roaming collective of musicians that gather together wherever they find an opportunity to do so, the ILC concept started originally as a club in London that itself had its roots in an art led project ‘Western Power Trip’. The ILC has a fundamental philosophy at its roots as the search to find meaning in the common concepts of what love really is and how we relate the understandings in our treatment of each other as people of this world. The International Love Corporation is a band and at the same time an ethos. It is as the name suggests, a gathering of people, with a few core members, but anyone can be a part of this. A reaction to all the crap that goes on in the world, that is constant, just with ever changing players. ![]() Trying to find the light within the dark.

Instead of controlling your units directly from above, you actually control your units in a third-person view, always playing one of the men and swapping between different units. Started life as Advance Wars in 3D but a name change later it became a rather different game. Released at the very end of the GCN's life, the graphics are great (as is the soundtrack). As per usual the story features some ridiculous, unforeseen twists. Follows in the footsteps of the previous game, but the card-based combat has been streamlined a bit to allow for easier combo-stringing. The main party's new and consists of only three characters, which allows for stronger development.

A colorful fantasy adventure about a civilization of winged people who live on floating island nations, with a turn-based, card-based combat system where each card is a weapon attack, action or spell. One of the GCN's biggest JRPG experiences was this offbeat game by Monolith Soft (of the Xeno series games).

It sucks.ĭolphin, the GameCube/Wii emulator, has progressed to the point where it should be considered your first choice for experiencing the GameCube's library. Even if you find it very cheap, don't buy it unless you're a hardcore Wii collector. It has no SD slot, no Gamecube compatibility, no internet connectivity, a top-loading disc drive, much worse build quality and composite video only. There was also the smaller, black and red Wii Mini. You can still play Gamecube games on newer Wiis with homebrew, though. Later Wii revisions had the Gamecube ports removed and introduced a new disc drive which couldn't read Gamecube discs. It's noteworthy that you can play Gamecube games on a Wii, with actual controllers and memory cards. It's very rare, but if you find it for a reasonable price, pick it up. There was a Japan-exclusive Panasonic Q, which was a Gamecube + DVD player combo. One of the last game consoles released to be entirely about just vidya and nothing else (which was one of the reasons it failed). Vastly overshadowed by the massive success of the PS2, the GCN never truly achieved market acceptance during its production still, it had a fuckwin game library which, among others, includes games from Nintendo's flagship franchises and some of the best versions of multiplatform titles such as Resident Evil 4, Killer7, and Skies of Arcadia. ![]() We've had a long journey together but sadly it's coming to an end.

Notably, the RTX 2060 die is 42% larger than the GTX 1070 and although the core count has only increased by a little over 10%, the cores are much wider and support technologies such as real-time ray tracing.ĭespite the massive increase in die size, Nvidia sold the RTX 2060 for a little less than the Pascal-based GTX 1070. The jump to the 12nm process with the RTX 2060 was less extreme, but here we got an entirely new architecture. The 980 Ti was a beast of a GPU, it shared the same 601mm2 die with the Titan X and although not all SM units were enabled, it still packed an impressive 2816 CUDA cores, 6GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit wide memory bus, and enjoyed a memory bandwidth of 336.5 GB/s.Ī year later the GTX 1070 arrived and although it packed just 1920 CUDA cores - 32% fewer than the 980 Ti - thanks to a ~60% increase in clock speed, performance ended up being very similar and this was largely due to Nvidia moving from TSMC's 28nm process to what at the time was their latest 16nm manufacturing. That makes the modern Turing GPU three and a half years newer and almost 50% cheaper. The GTX 980 Ti was released back in mid-2015 for $650 and the RTX 2060 in early 2019 for $350. It will be interesting to see if those margins have changed, while also taking a look at how much faster the RTX 2060 is when compared to the GTX 980 Ti. We didn't include older GPUs at the time like the GTX 980 Ti, so the Maxwell-based flagship was absent from that feature. Looking back at that data, we found that the RTX 2060 was able to beat the GTX 1070 Ti by a slim margin, making it 13% faster than the vanilla GTX 1070. We happened to miss the official launch because Nvidia "lost" our sample in the mail but that meant we didn't have to rush our tests and we ended up with the full hog and provided a massive 36 game test.

Q Will the Lumin remove any physical debris left on my mask or water chamber when I place it inside?Ī No, the Lumin will not remove any visible debris left on your equipment. As a study verified that the machine makes no damage to plastics or silicone in over 150 hours of testing, this means it would take more than 5 years to cause any damage to your mask, far longer than the masks lifespan. Although long exposure to UV light can weaken plastics and silicone, the cycle time for the Lumin is a mere 5 minutes, making a year of daily use 30 hours of exposure time. Q Will the Lumin cause any damage to my CPAP mask or accessories?Ī No, it will not. Pre-cleaning is a crucial step to clean up any debris. Q Once I run out of the sample wipes to pre-clean my Lumin with, what can I do?Ī While we do not carry any Lumin wipes, you can pre-clean your mask with the CPAP wipes available for purchase HERE. While some hoses may be able to be disinfected, not all can as hoses vary significantly in shape, color, and size. This includes your cell phone, hearing aid, dentures, toothbrush, oral appliance and many more. It is designed to fit most CPAP masks and water chambers, but can also disinfect many personal items. While extended exposure to UV light isn't good for your skin, there is an automatic shut off feature when the inner drawer is open that prevents the UV light from escaping.Ī While the Lumin is intended as a CPAP cleaning device, it can actually handle any item that can fit within it's inner drawer. By the following day, the odor should disappear.Ī Yes, the Lumin is incredibly safe. Run a single cycle with the drawer empty, then leave overnight. If this occurs, please wash thoroughly with a wet cloth, using liquid detergent and drying with a paper towel. UV light kills pathogens by destroying DNA with a high energy light, freeing sulfide molecules within the skin cells and potentially causing a smell. This is because dust is composed almost entirely of human cells, which have the potential to fall off into the drawer. However, about 10% of users experience a slight odor from time to time, that is similar to the smell of burny hair. Q Does the Lumin release an odor of any sorts?Ī Under normal conditions, the Lumin should not emit any kind of odor. Therefore, you should not need to replace any parts. For a more in-depth, technical description of how the Lumin operates, check out this whitepaper HERE.Ī The Lumin is the only CPAP Cleaner on the market to not use ozone! This also means that there is no need for ventilation after cleaning, meaning you can move on to cleaning the next piece of equipment or getting to bed earlier.Ī The UV bulb is the only part that could be considered to be replaceable, but it is actually designed to last longer than the machine itself. For daily use though, only one cycle is necessary. If there is an increased need for disinfection, you can disassemble your mask prior to closing the drawer, or simply turn your mask, water chamber, or other item face down and run another cycle. A The Lumin operates in a "line-of-sight" fashion, only irradiating and cleaning surfaces within its sightlines. |
