![]() ![]() The Ego Power+ Nexus Portable Power Station PST3042 offers power similar to that of the Honda EU2200i with none of the drawbacks of a gas engine. But if we were riding out a storm-related outage or powering a coffee maker on a camping trip, this is the machine we’d rely on. The EU2200i is typically priced over $1,000, about $400 more than other gas options. Honda generators have an excellent reputation and recognition in the industry as the gold standard, but the hitch is that this quality comes at a cost. (And that’s why you should never run one of these indoors or even in your garage with the doors open.) ![]() Like all of our picks, the EU2200i also has an onboard carbon monoxide detector that shuts the generator down if a concentration of the deadly gas gets too high, which can happen if the generator is running in an enclosed area. This is a relatively new feature that not many generators have. In addition, you can easily monitor the Honda’s power output through a Bluetooth-connected app, so during a storm you can manage (and maximize) the generator’s operation from the cozy confines of your home. Starting a gas engine can be frustrating, and that alone could keep someone from buying a generator, but the EU2200i was the only model we tested that started on the first pull of the cord every single time we used it. ![]() Its distinguishing feature is its high-quality Honda engine, which is significantly larger than other generators we tested. The Honda was the quietest, lightest, and most powerful generator we looked at-it even exceeded its listed capabilities and powered appliances and tools that caused the other generators to overload. After we tested four generators in the 2,200-watt range, it was clear to us that the Honda EU2200i was the best. ![]()

![]() Your current score and remaining time are at the top of the column. Single suit Spider is the easiest and 4 suit Spider is the hardest. Of the 3 common types of Spider this is this is medium difficulty. This is a single level game with a 20 minute time limit. When you have an open column on the tableau use it to reorganize the stacks to make them suited as much as you possibly can. If you have a choice between having 2 somewhat dirty stacks with suits repeatedly mixed or one rather clean stack and one really dirty stack go with whatever option gives you at least one clean stack. Try to keep stacks as suited as possible, though sometimes early in the game you need to mix suits in order to help reveal some of the cards further up the tableau stack. If you are unsure of which column to pull from between two options it is usually better to go for the shorter stack so you are closer to creating an empty column on the tableau.ĭon't be afraid to use the move undo button if you want to see which card is underneath the top one on two different columns. Try to create an empty column on the tableau as quickly as possible, as you can set any card there allowing you to resort other cards. This game uses the equivalent of 2 full decks of cards (though technically it uses the spades and hearts suits from 4 decks).ĥ4 cards are dealt to the tableau off the start with another 50 in reserves which are dealt to the tableau 10 at a time with a single card added to each column. ![]() Move cards on the tableau into a royal flush to have them removed from the game. ![]() You can create runs of mixed suit cards, but you can only move the suited portions of them at a single time. Sequential runs of cards can also be moved provided they are both in the same suit. ![]() On the tableau a card may be moved on another card provided it is in sequential descending order. ![]() ![]() Jews had to declare the value of their property, and were forbidden from moving home, travelling, owning cars or radios, listening to foreign radio stations, or using the telephone. From 5 April, Jews over the age of six had to wear a 10 x 10 cm (3.8 x 3.8 in) yellow badge on the upper-left side of their coats or jackets. That changed at midnight on Saturday, 18 March 1944, with the invasion of Hungary by Nazi Germany, and the arrival in Budapest of SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann to oversee the deportation of the country's Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. Northern Transylvania had been annexed by Hungary in 1940, and restrictions on Jews were already in place, but the period Wiesel discusses at the beginning of the book, 1941–1943, was a relatively calm one for the Jewish population. The family lived in a community of 10,000–20,000 mostly Orthodox Jews. And yet we begin again with night." Backgroundįurther information: Hungary in World War II and Holocaust in Hungary Sighet, Transylvania, now Sighetu Marmației, Romania, 2009Įlie Wiesel was born on 30 September 1928 in Sighet, a town in the Carpathian mountains of northern Transylvania (now Romania), to Chlomo Wiesel, a shopkeeper, and his wife, Sarah (née Feig). Everything came to an end-man, history, literature, religion, God. "In Night," he said, "I wanted to show the end, the finality of the event. Night is the first in a trilogy- Night, Dawn, Day-marking Wiesel's transition during and after the Holocaust from darkness to light, according to the Jewish tradition of beginning a new day at nightfall. The literary critic Ruth Franklin writes that the pruning of the text from Yiddish to French transformed an angry historical account into a work of art. Wiesel called it his deposition, but scholars have had difficulty approaching it as an unvarnished account. It remains unclear how much of Night is memoir. Translated into 30 languages, the book ranks as one of the bedrocks of Holocaust literature. Les Éditions de Minuit published 178 pages as La Nuit in 1958, and in 1960 Hill & Wang in New York published a 116-page translation as Night. The novelist François Mauriac helped him find a French publisher. The memoir ends shortly after the United States Army liberated Buchenwald in April 1945.Īfter the war, Wiesel moved to Paris and in 1954 completed an 862-page manuscript in Yiddish about his experiences, published in Argentina as the 245-page Un di velt hot geshvign ("And the World Remained Silent"). ![]() His father died in January 1945, taken to the crematory after deteriorating due to dysentery and a beating while Wiesel lay silently on the bunk above him for fear of being beaten too. ![]() The typical parent-child relationship is inverted as his father dwindled in the camps to a helpless state while Wiesel himself became his teenaged caregiver. ![]() In just over 100 pages of sparse and fragmented narrative, Wiesel writes about his loss of faith and increasing disgust with humanity, recounting his experiences from the Nazi-established ghettos in his hometown of Sighet, Romania to his migration through multiple concentration camps. Night is a 1960 memoir by Elie Wiesel based on his Holocaust experiences with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945, toward the end of the Second World War in Europe.

In cold weather conditions, the reverse happens. This means in hot weather, the decking boards will expand.ĭuring installation, you can leave a 4-6mm gap end to end, as the boards will most likely expand in warmer weather conditions. ![]() If you are installing in the summer, it is important to allow the boards to climatise to the weather conditions at your location by allowing up to 48 hours for this. Installing Decking in Hot or Cold Weather ConditionsĪs previously mentioned, weather conditions do matter when determining the installation and gaps between the decking boards. As for the end-to-end spacing of composite decking boards, you need to have 6mm to 8mm. For side-to-side, you will need to put anywhere from 3mm to 6mm. There are two types of spacing for your composite decking boards, namely side-to-side spacing and end-to-end spacing. Screws will grip the decking stronger, thereby keeping the board in place when it expands and contracts. These gaps take into consideration that the decking boards and substructure are correctly installed to the manufacturer’s specifications.įor wood decking, the recommendation is to use screws instead of nails to hold the wood decking boards in place. Composite decking uses a hidden fastener system with options of 3mm to 6mm spacing between the boards. The kind of fasteners you use for your decking can also affect the size gap between the decking boards. Therefore, leaving spaces between composite decking boards will allow for thermal expansion and help the boards to expand freely without touching each other and preventing damage. If there are no spaces/gaps between the decking boards, it can lead to warping, even in extreme cases shifting the decking area from its original position. In summer, during hot weather, composite decking boards will expand. Weather conditions can affect your decking board. How to Space Your Decking Boards Properly However, it’s still wise to prevent it from happening. True, composites are more resistant to moisture and warping. While these problems occur more often on wooden boards, it doesn’t mean they won’t happen on composite decking boards. As previously mentioned, moisture is a major problem for decking boards. Because of this, moisture will accumulate under the decking. Without the gaps, the vapour that rises from the ground beneath the decking will be stuck. This pressure will lead to the boards protruding upwards.Īnother reason why it’s crucial to have proper spacing is ventilation. Finally, the expanded boards can cause friction and pressure on each other. Furthermore, it can be detrimental to the decking’s lifespan. This can make the decking unsafe and unstable. First, it may remove the screws and nails used to fasten the decking. ![]() The expansion of the boards have issues associated with it. Temperature and humidity cause these boards to shrink or expand. On the other hand, composites do change in size, but to a lesser extent. The truth is, most wooden boards will expand or shrink regardless. When water is left, the decking is exposed to moisture the boards can absorb moisture. In worst-case scenario, due to the pressure from the expansion, the decking boards can warp, twist or even rise away from the substructure, with splits and cracks appearing. ![]() On the other hand, if there’s not much room for decking boards to expand, which they will eventually do, they can create friction and damage each other. With too much air, it can also decrease your decking’s resistance to fire. The gaps may become too big that some people may trip when walking on the decking. When your decking shrinks, it can cause some accidents in your home. However, the former is more common for composite decking boards. All boards will expand when exposed to high temperatures, whilst others are prone to moisture. Composite expands in the heat and contracts in the cold therefore, when installing, close attention must be paid to the weather conditions during the installation. One of the main problems with decking is the expansion and shrinking of the decking boards. Many people who try to build decking for the first time often forget about this crucial detail. When you install composite decking, especially if you go down the DIY route, you have to remember to leave a gap between composite decking boards. ![]() ![]() There’s only 1.2 inches of rail length to work with, meaning Streamlight or SureFire Pic rail lights won’t fit on the rail. But after thinking about it, we understood the decision. When SIG told us the accessory rail was proprietary, we moaned like everyone else. The 12-round accessory mag that adds roughly a third of an inch to the grip is icing on the cake. It has a textured grip, predictable trigger pull from a fully cocked, striker-fired action, striker channel safety block, front and rear slide serrations, a low-bore axis, a deep trigger guard undercut for improved grip and control, a proprietary accessory rail, a field stripping procedure that doesn’t require a trigger pull, and two mags and SIG’s excellent X-Ra圓 night sights. Looking at the feature list, you’d be forgiven if you thought it was a full-size gun. We’ll bet plenty of people would pay a three-round tax for the concealability of the smaller gun - that is, as long as it shoots well and functions reliably. The P365’s 12-round mag puts it within chin-rubbing distance of the 15-round Glock 19. And while the rest of the world is comparing the P365 to its subcompact cousins, we see it as a threat to the compact market. 10+1 rounds in a package smaller than a 6+1, single stack Glock 43. But, once the mag pops out, SIG’s claims start gaining credibility. Picking up the SIG P365, it doesn’t immediately feel a whole lot different than its competitors. And the limited capacity of the most concealable pistols leaves us wanting. ![]() Tiny guns are tough to shoot well whether it’s the ergos or just mechanical issues inherent in smaller guns, people shy away from subcompacts when they need to hit things past 5 yards. But the biggest reason to carry a full-size pistol is its shootability and its capacity. When New Hampshire’s SIG SAUER set its course to build the P365, an everyday subcompact, SIG’s CEO Ron Cohen tells us his engineers had one goal - to overcome the well-known shortcomings of subcompact pistols. SIG’s pistol product manager, Phil Strader, says of the SIG P365, “We designed something that you could carry every single day, 365 days a year, no compromise and no change in guns.” Bullsh*t, right? When it gets warmer we tuck little pistols into our shorts, accepting the loss of capacity and shootability as a fair tradeoff for concealability. We all relish cold weather because heavier cover garments mean we can carry a full-size, fully capable pistol.

![]() Whether you’re jamming with one speaker or multiples, audio performance is impressive. You’ll need to follow the instructions in the Soundcore mobile app precisely to get this done the included quick start guide is completely useless. I tested a pair of Flare 2 speakers and there’s no question that Part圜ast is the coolest feature, though configuring it involves an unintuitive process of pairing one speaker to your phone, then holding down the Bluetooth pairing button on each speaker in a certain sequence. The six included LED effects are fun, but largely variations on a theme. They don’t operate as a mesh, which likely limits how many you will realistically deploy. The sub-speakers also all need to be within Bluetooth range of the master speaker. You can sync up to 100(!) sub-speakers to a master Flare 2-but note that they all play the same channel you can’t set two speakers to separately handle left/right channel duty. Undoubtedly the biggest new feature is the ability to sync up multiple Flare 2 speakers to play in unison. Lighting at the top and bottom of the Soundcore Flare 2 brings the party (on a small scale). The Flare 2 also has two LED light rings instead of just one-one on the top and one on the bottom-which you can set to pulse, fade, and change hues in tune with your music.

This situation parallels the previously described situation which has caused an extraordinarily high demand for psychotherapeutic forces in the face of a missing local psychotherapeutic infrastructure (Keengwe and Malapile 2014 Wolf et al. This cooperation was established because of the local situation in Northern Iraq. The international cooperation between the Institute for Transcultural Health Science (ITG) at the Cooperative State University Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany and the Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychotraumatology (IPP) at the University of Duhok in Iraq is one example of this. According to this perspective, cooperations enable students from developing countries to gain access to academic and professional training programs. Research has considered international cooperations between universities from developing countries and from developed countries as a promising option to encounter the problems described previously. Likewise, they do not have the opportunity of acquiring skills (Rhema and Miliszewska 2012 Keengwe and Malapile 2014 Al-Awawei et al. As a consequence, teaching staff and students have little knowledge and skills in how they can use technological means for educational purposes. Teaching and research staff have very limited access to research literature and technical resources which would address the local needs. Frequently, there are very few financial resources. The reconstruction of a sufficient educational infrastructure is extremely challenging. In Iraq, for example, the local situation is characterized by a broad spectrum of problems. Frequently, educational infrastruture and education quality, which had formely been highly developed, were destroyed as a consequence of conflicts and wars. Several reasons and consequences of the low extent of e-learning implementation in developing countries can be identified. 2012 Rajab 2018 Keengwe and Malapile 2014 Kanwal and Rehman 2017). At the same time, e-learning resources are used comparatively less there (Sife et al. Being associated with the continuation and the re-inititation of learning processes during and after belligerent periods, their potential is particularly emphasized in (post-)crisis areas and conflict regions. Concepts of e-learning have also drawn attention in so-called developing countries. Future studies should make use of inferential statistics and qualitative approaches to reveal details about the causality between different factors.ġ.1 E-Learning in So-Called Developing Countries and in IraqĮ-Learning can be understood as all forms of learning and teaching activities which use digital means and the internet for information and communication purposes (Kerres and de Witt 2004). Additionally, students experienced control over their learning process, refering to screencast features which allow them control over learning pace. With regards to the usefulness of the screencast, students appreciate the use of an authentic way of how skills can be acquired and practiced. Findings suggest that easiness of use is increased particularly through a clear overview of the topics covered in the screencast and through a targeted selection of the topics. Overall, usefulness was rated higher than usability. ![]() Data (n = 29) was analyzed through a quantitative approach and descriptive statistics.

I particularly like the way Photolemur 3 processes the skies to look better and how it corrects any exposure issues. Thankfully you can go to the settings drop-down menu and disable this feature. The program makes some sounds when it does certain actions that I’m not a fan of. That said, it does a pretty good job automatically. If you don’t like the way the software adjusted your exposure and colors, there is no way to go in deeper to adjust these results individually. If you have Photoshop or Lightroom knowledge and are accustomed to editing your photos manually, you will find Photolemur 3 restrictive. You can get your photos edited in a few minutes with a few simple clicks. It’s ideal for landscape photographers because of the sky enhancer and also for portrait photography. However, I don’t think that professional photographers will use this software on a regular basis because of its limitations. It does what it claims and has made photo enhancing stress-free. Photolemur 3 is a great tool for beginner or amateur photographers who want to easily and quickly enhance their photos. Upon initial installation, you are prompted to add the plugin if you wish to do so. You can use Photolemur 3 as a standalone app on your computer, and you can also add it as a plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom. Once you’ve finished editing your photos, you can export them to your computer, upload them on various social media sites, or attach them directly to an email. The mono filter transforms your photos to black and white with commendable results. If you’re a fan of filters, these do the trick pretty well. Click on the circle at the bottom and get access to all the filter options. The filters are very similar to the ones you find on apps like Instagram. The software has integrated filters you can apply to your images. The software supports a variety of file formats – even RAW files.
