Frankensteins poor decisions10/31/2023 ![]() But InfoWars continues to thrive on Facebook, even though Zuckerberg agreed that the Sandy Hook story was false. Photograph: Swisher then asked him about the alt-right site InfoWars, whose Facebook page has more than 900,000 followers and which regularly broadcasts falsehoods and conspiracy theories, including a claim that the Sandy Hook mass shootings never happened. Everyone gets things wrong and if we were taking down people’s accounts when they got a few things wrong, then that would be a hard world for giving people a voice and saying that you care about that.”ĭr Frankenstein and his creation in The Curse of Frankenstein. “The approach that we’ve taken to false news,” said Zuck, “is not to say you can’t say something wrong on the internet. One of them – obviously – is misinformation or “false news”. The conversation covered a lot of ground but included a few key exchanges that spoke volumes about Zuckerberg’s inability to grasp the scale of the problems that his creature now poses for society. This all became evident last week in a revealing interview the Facebook boss gave to the tech journalist Kara Swisher. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that his creature is out of control, that he’s uneasy about the power and has few good ideas about how to discharge his responsibilities. It has also given him a great deal of power, together with the responsibilities that go with it. Unlike Frankenstein, he is still enamoured of his creation, which has made him richer than Croesus and the undisputed ruler of an empire of 2.2 billion users. We never learn what happened to the creature.įacebook is Zuckerberg’s monster. In the end, Frankenstein dies of exposure in the Arctic, pursuing the monster who has murdered his bride. Repulsed by the monster he has made, Frankenstein flees, but finds that he cannot escape his creation. Readers of Mary Shelley’s great 19th-century novel will know the story: of how an ingenious scientist – Dr Victor Frankenstein – creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. A better metaphor is that he is the Dr Frankenstein de nos jours. They show that his ownership of the controlling shares means that he can do anything he likes, including selling the company against the wishes of all the other shareholders combined.īut the fact that Zuck wields autocratic power over a huge corporation doesn’t quite get the measure of him. Who – or what – is Mark Zuckerberg? Obviously he’s the founder and CEO of Facebook, which is, in theory, a public company but is in fact his fiefdom, as a casual inspection of the company’s SEC filings confirms.

Navy blue and silver christmas tree10/31/2023 ![]() When I say “high end”, I don’t mean I spent a ridiculous amount of money on ornaments but I did spend more than I normally would. Mix High End Ornaments with Inexpensive Ornaments: In this case, the bows also acted as ornaments and coordinated with the rest of the blue and white theme. Rather than wrapping the tree with a large wired ribbon, this time I made a bunch of small blue and white gingham bows. After all, you don’t want your blue and white Christmas tree looking too patriotic! Luckily, all the Christmas greenery also helped balance it all out. When I decorate with this color combination, I’m always careful not to overdo the red. This time, I also added some splashes of red. With the dark background of my navy blue walls, I wanted more white to stand out and brighten things up. Actually, I used more white ornaments than blue ornaments. Now, in the dining room, I decorated my tree with classic blue and white ornaments. Obviously, another perfect place to add a blue decorated Christmas tree! Just steps from my foyer, you’ll find my navy blue dining room. With the Christmas tree as the focal point, the blue color scheme set the tone for the rest of my Christmas decor.Įlegant Blue Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas – Dining Room: Though, I think I added them after I took these photos.Īnyway, between the gold ribbon and the blue plaid ribbon, I was able to coordinate the whole foyer for Christmas. For some reason, I don’t seem to have any pictures of the garland with the bows. Then, I added more of the same bows to my staircase garland to pull the colors together. You don’t need to worry about falling needles anyway! If you don’t have access to fresh greens, then just go with faux greenery. All I did, was fill the basket with leftover tree clippings and I was done. On the inside of my front door, I hung my large seagrass basket with a blue plaid bow to coordinate with the room. As I mentioned, the gold ribbon really stood out against the tree…but that’s not the only place I added ribbon… If you want to coordinate colors without buying all new Christmas decorations, just change your ribbon each year. They’re a bit rustic and each one is hung by a loop of natural fiber. When we turned on the white Christmas lights, the gold bells and shiny gold ribbon really sparkled! Sometimes when using gold ribbon, you get more of a “glam” look but I think I was able to tone that down with the bells. To keep it all bright and festive, I focused more on gold ornaments with blue accents and plenty of gold ribbon to tie it all together. Since my rug is mostly navy blue, I kept the blue on the tree to a minimum. Last Christmas, I decorated my foyer Christmas tree with colors from my area rug. Plus, it’s a great place to introduce your holiday color scheme! Coordinate the Tree with a Rug or Existing Decor: Since the foyer sets the tone for the rest of the house, it’s a great place to put a Christmas tree. Needless to say, today we’ll focus on the blue Christmas trees in the foyer and dining room… Blue Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas – Foyer: Oh, and did I mention, my family insists on colored lights for the family tree… You know…the homemade ornaments, the special ornaments from our travels, our gifted ornaments, photo ornaments and basically anything that has meaning to our family. In the living room, I have to appease the family with the live tree decorated with all the traditional Christmas colors and decorations. Since I have plenty of navy blue throughout my home, I’ve enjoyed coordinating my foyer and dining room Christmas trees in that color. Lately, we’ve been putting up three trees which gives me room to experiment with colors. Blue Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas to Try this YearĮach year, I love trying different color schemes when decorating for Christmas.

Interior 2013 ford escape10/31/2023 ![]() The Escape has 34.3 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats up and 68.1 with them folded. Some of Escape's physical buttons seem to sacrifice form for function, notably the audio system's power switch, which is mounted face up on a flat surface in front of the touch screen where it's easy to miss." - Consumer Guide "Also some of the virtual ‘buttons’ on the touch screen are small and can be difficult for the driver to reach.We'd still opt for the conventional radio and climate controls." - MSNBC At this point MyFord Touch remains an exercise in technology for technology's sake, so we look forward to the next upgrade. The latest iteration is less of a pain in the, er, neck to use but still falls short of the simplicity and convenience of properly designed knobs and switches. "Like other new Fords, the Escape boasts an improved version of the annoying-to-use Sync voice command system and MyFord Touch touch-screen infotainment systems.It can be equipped with a navigation system that is linked to the satellite radio’s traffic data so that you can adjust your trips based on traffic. Sync with MyFord Touch adds an 8-inch touch screen, Wi-Fi capability, a second USB port, RCA audio/video inputs and an SD card reader. Voice-activated Ford Sync includes a 4.2-inch color display in the instrument cluster and center stack, Bluetooth, turn-by-turn directions and a USB port. The base Escape comes with air conditioning, power windows and door locks, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack and a tilt and telescoping steering wheel. Ford Sync and Sync with MyFord Touch are optional on the 2013 Escape, and test drivers think that while the updated MyFord Touch infotainment system is a lot easier to use, it’s still hard to master and has confusing, hard-to-reach buttons. (Although for taller riders, headroom could get tight.) Reclining the seat surely helps but can cut into the luggage space." - Popular Mechanics "Climb into the back and you'll find a rear seat that reclines and provides plenty of legroom.Legroom is likewise good." - Consumer Guide … The seats are comfortable, but some folks may wish for a bit less side bolstering and a longer bottom cushion. Headroom is generous on models without the sunroof. "Up front, larger adults will find plenty of room.The standard seats, which lack the sport seats' aggressive bolstering, are also good." - Automobile Magazine "The front seatbacks are scalloped to provide more rear knee room, rear leg and foot room are generous, and the rear seatbacks recline.Car reviewers say that the front and rear seats have good legroom and that only tall passengers may need more headroom. Titanium's interior is especially nice with its specific trim and the available full-leather seating surfaces." - Consumer GuideĪccording to auto writers, the Ford Escape has comfortable front and rear seats. Escape's faux-metal accents look good too. Plastics are a combination of soft-touch and hard surfaces with attractive finishes. "Escape's interior is handsomely finished with good assembly quality.

Runway numbers are based on10/31/2023 ![]() Yet Iran’s evolving relationship with Hamas and its Palestinian militant partners, the Islamic Jihad, is well documented. It’s something that we’re going to keep looking at closely.” He continued, “What we don’t have is direct information that shows Iranian involvement in ordering or planning of the attacks that took place over the last couple of days. “What we can be quite clear about is that Iran is broadly complicit in these attacks for having supporting Hamas going back decades,” Finer said during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” pointing to weapons, training and other financial support. ![]() US still seeking to determine Iran's connection to Israel attack Want to know more? Have a question about WKA you'd like answered? Get involved.A building is ablaze following rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip, in Tel Aviv, Israel October 7, 2023. So next time you’re landing or taking off at an airport, take a look at the runway name marked out and see if you can work out what it’s magnetic bearing location is?īlog #4 – What infrastructure is needed at an airport? Named after the airport’s runway name 16, it’s an amazing look into life at a busy GA airport. If you have a love of General Aviation, check-out the documentary movie One Six Right, based on life at the Van Nuys Airport in California. (instead of "fifteen" or "thirty-three"). For clarity in radio communications between pilots and ground operations, each digit in the runway name is pronounced individually such as runway one-five, runway three-three, etc. Pretty complex stuff, hey?įast Fact: Wānaka Airport’s current runway orientation is 11 (114° East) and 29 (294° North West).Ī runway can normally be used for take-offs and landings in both directions (depending on the wind direction) and will have a different name for each direction: e.g., "runway 15" in one direction is "runway 33" when used in the other. If the magnetic variation changes to 25° east, Runway 29/11 would become Runway 30/12. In Wānaka, the difference between true and magnetic is 24° East. This is what’s called magnetic variation and varies all over the planet and is constantly changing. Over time the difference between the magnetic compass direction and true direction can change with the Earth’s magnetism (tectonic plates etc) and this can cause a runway to be renamed. The Magnetic North Pole (also known as the North Dip Pole) is a point on Ellesmere Island in Northern Canada where the northern lines of attraction enter the Earth. 184° would be considered runway 18 and 185° would be runway 19.įast Fact: The Earth is one big magnet. To add to things, there is a bit of Swedish rounding used in order to round the runway number to the nearest 10 i.e. So, a runway numbered 9 points East 90°, runway 18 is south (180°), runway 27 points west (270°) and runway 36 points to the north (360°) and so on. The runways are then numbered 1-36 (knocking off the zero from the compass point above). Runways are however always laid out according to the compass with North at 360°, South 180°, East 90° and West 270° – or more precisely called runway magnetic bearing. An aircraft that attempts to land or take-off with a tail-wind, will require far more runway length than it would if landing or taking-off with a head wind. ![]() The location in which a runway is built is determined as part of the airport’s individual design, looking at the prevailing winds-the direction of wind generally speaking-specific to the area, as well as flight paths and surrounding terrain.įast Fact: Aircraft depart and land into the wind to maximize lift and to minimize ground roll. So, in our third blog we delve deeper into runway locations and what should be considered as part of the Wānaka Airport Master Plan. You may now be left wondering “why are runways positioned where they are?” In our second blog on Wānaka Airport, we looked at the lengths of runways, why they are important and how they’re constructed.

Nook vs kindle for kids10/30/2023 ![]() If you’re needing your device to be waterproof and dustproof, it’s worth giving Nook’s some serious consideration. They certainly have a chance through their diversification. Do the Nook’s stand a chance the Mighty Amazon Kindle’s. Unfortunately no such service exists for the Nooks Conclusion This can encourage them to get onboard with reading in a digital age. Depending on how many Nook friends you have will determine which service is right for you.Īmazon devices all encourage your kids to read by letting you set up reading challenges for you little ones. Amazon’s alternative to this to provide a service called Overdrive which allows you to borrow books from your local library. This allows you to lend books to your friend and family who are also on Nooks. The Nook’s also encourage sharing your reads with others with their LendMe service. In contrast, Nook’s have opted for the traditional touch sensitive mode of page navigation. This is demonstrated on the Kindle Voyage. On some Amazon devices, they have opted to use Pagepress technology which means you can press the sides of the device to turn the pages back and forth. If you’re worried about spilling your drink on the device whilst lounging around the pool on holiday, this might be something worth considering. The Nook devices tend to be waterproof and dustproof which is a route Amazon has not chosen to go down. Also both Nook’s and Amazon Kindle’s have the highest resolution possible for your reading experience. Nooks call this out specifically as Glo light technology but in reality it’s just the screen being bright at night without intervention.īoth types of devices also allow you to store your books online and allow you to read them on multiple devices (mobiles, tablets etc). You can read both Amazon and Nook devices in the dark due to their brightness technology. The Nooks can can read formats such as PDF, ePub texts and JPG, PNG, GIF and BMP graphics whereas as Kindle devices tend to read the Amazon Ebook format (AZW), MOBI, PRC, TXT as well as PDF files Stark contrast here as this reflects the online stores from which you can purchase EBooks from. For those of you wanting to splash the cash, there is the Kindle Oasis which is the lightest device of on the market but also one of the most expensive. The exception being the Kindle Paperwhite. PriceĪt the time of writing, The Nook Glowlight Plus was a little cheaper than the majority of Kindle’s out there. Overall on the UI I have to say that my personal preference is Amazon’s interface as they seemed have taken the most common features a user may need and make them easily accessible. ![]() With that said, this can be easily overcome by the search functionality. If you’re planning on having a lot of EBooks stored on the device, Nook devices can be a little clunky in terms of having to scroll through books to find the one you want. The Nook has taken the approach of being a little more visual when it comes to displaying the EBook covers on various UI screens, whereas Amazon tends to reserve this just for the Home screen.Īlso the Nooks do have a recommended reading section on the home screen which allows you to view excerpts from books and then store these on a wishlist which is then available in the store. Still no good book reader exists IMO.There are some key differences here when it comes to comparing the User Interfaces. Kindle Kids 6' 16GB Front Light eReader (2022 Model) 79.99 (List Price 119.99) Kindle Scribe 16GB eReader With Basic Pen (2022 Release) 264. Kindle might sell pretty well but it's no iPod of books. The Best Prime Day eReader Deals This Week. A DVD sized e-book reader about say half the thickness or slightly thicker with great battery life, a headphone jack and a speaker without massive bezels, silly chin and with simple software is what's missing in the e-book reader world. A DVD case is 9" on the diagonal and is about the smallest an e-ink book reader should be. A tiny 6" screen for reading books is a joke, sorry. Would much prefer if they scrapped all of the models and just focused on making one awesome 9" model and tried to bring the prices down through economies of scale, selling just a single model in black and white and one storage size: we're talking books.įurther, another thing Kindle needs is a headphone jack and a built-in speaker like Kindle 3 had. What Kindles have going for them mostly is price, but that really in my mind only applies to the cheapest model. ![]() I'd also like to see a slightly thicker reader with longer battery life. If Apple made a 9" e-ink reader (kindles are too small) that looked like the page of a book "Apple Page" or "Apple Book" and had some innovative features such as page numbers (ffs) and the ability to squeeze either side of the page to turn the page I'd honestly buy one. I honestly would like if Apple made an e-ink reader because Amazon isn't great at hardware or software, at least when it comes to Kindle. I do wish Apple would add e-ink tech to iPads but that’s probably hard to engineer. |
