![]() ![]() TAKE ON FERNANDO ALONSOĪlonso is a perfect fit for GRID, which challenges you to master multiple racing categories in a wide variety of cars. We’re thrilled to have Fernando Alonso on board – a global icon with the same passion for racing as us.Īs a Race Consultant, Fernando is working with all areas of the GRID team to ensure every race is as thrilling as his real-world racing experiences from the handling setup, to gameplay, to the stories and drama that come with each event. Grid Autosport was announced on in April 2014 via the official Codemasters Blog, less than a year after the release of its predecessor, Grid 2. Producer Toby Evan-Jones revealed in an interview that the development of the new title began as soon as the development of Grid 2 came close to a finish, which occurred in the spring of 2013. Evan-Jones had this to say on the short development cycle between the two games and the general intentions with Grid Autosport. In Grid Autosport, the player acts as a racing driver with opportunities to start and build their own racing career via the single-player Career mode, enter competitions with fellow players on the web via the multiplayer Online mode, customise their racing experience (vehicle, circuit, race type, difficulty, etc.) to their own tastes via the single-player Custom Cup mode, and play against each other via the multiplayer Splitscreen mode. It is the first video game in GRID series not to feature Vehicle Customization this time in single player career as only featured in online mode. The Career mode is divided into seasons before which the player each time has to choose between offers from the game’s racing teams. The teams – including the best-in-the-business Ravenwest, making a return from Race Driver: Grid – each have different season objectives and sponsor objectives, the achievement of which earns extra experience points (XP) for the players besides those received for their results. Online racing is conducted via RaceNet, Codemasters’ community hub on which players can form racing clubs, earn XP and cash as they race and fulfill sponsor objectives, then use their earnings to purchase and upgrade vehicles. Soon after the game’s release, they were also presented with sets of specific challenges, called RaceNet Challenges, announced by Codemasters. The cars in the disciplines of Grid Autosport are further divided into tiers and classes of various strength. Some of the highlights of the vehicles on offer are the contemporary BTCC (Class C), Stock Car Brasil (Class A) and V8 Supercars (Super Tourers) of the Touring discipline (e. Chevrolet Cruze and Holden Commodore (VF, as well as the present-day and classic GT cars of the Endurance discipline (like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 (Category B) and the Ford GT40 Mk I), the Dallara DW12 chassis of the Ind圜ar Series (Formula A) from the Open Wheel discipline, American muscle cars (e. the Ford Mustang Boss 302), among others, representing the Tuner discipline and the likes of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Agera R (Hypercars) representing the Street discipline. In total, including DLCs, the game features 103 cars. This is the second video game under Grid series not to feature Toyota cars and First in series to not to feature Chevrolet Corvette.The standout feature and a major plus of GRID Autosport is the highly adjustable graphics menu. While Need for Speed Rivals only offers a handful of options, Codemasters' product has more than 20 of them, which allow the user to tailor the game to his or her liking. ![]() In addition, there are 5 presets (Ultra Low to Ultra) and several anti-aliasing options. Aside from CMAA and MSAA, GRID Autosport also supports (Q)CSAA and EQAA, although the latter two options are reserved for Nvidia and AMD, respectively. Great: since all graphics options can be adjusted on the fly, the user doesn't have to stop and restart the game after each and every adjustment. We don't really like the fact that the menus are nested within each other, however.

![]() ![]() The radioactive isotopes released during the Chernobyl accident included I-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, and Sr-90. Much of what is known about cancer caused by radiation exposures from nuclear power plant accidents comes from research on the April 1986 nuclear power plant disaster at Chernobyl in Ukraine (Chornobyl in Ukrainian) ( 1, 2). What have researchers learned about cancer risks from nuclear power plant accidents? Because Cs-134 and Cs-137 do not become concentrated in a particular tissue, the ionizing radiation that it releases can expose all tissues and organs of the body. Internal exposure can come from breathing particles in the air that contain Cs-134 and Cs-137, such as dust originating from contaminated soil, or ingesting contaminated water or foods. External exposure comes from walking on contaminated soil or coming into contact with contaminated materials at nuclear accident sites. Exposure to radioactive iodine may increase the risk of thyroid cancer for many years, especially for children and adolescents.Įxposure to Cs-134 and Cs-137 can be external to the body or internal. Because the thyroid does not distinguish between I-131 and nonradioactive iodine, the thyroid gland will accumulate either form. The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce hormones that control how quickly the body uses energy. Inside the body, I-131 accumulates in the thyroid gland, which is an organ in the neck. People may also be exposed by breathing dust particles in the air that are contaminated with I-131. Human exposure to I-131 released from nuclear power plant accidents comes mainly from consuming contaminated water, milk, or foods. In the most severe kinds of accidents, such as the Chernobyl accident in 1986, other dangerous radioactive isotopes, such as strontium-90 (Sr-90) and plutonium-239, may also be released. ![]() The radioactive isotopes released in nuclear power plant accidents include iodine-131 (I-131), cesium-134 (Cs-134), and Cs-137. the person’s age (with those exposed at younger ages generally at higher risk of cancer).how a person comes in contact with the released radioactive materials (such as through contaminated food, water, air, or on the skin).how much radiation someone is exposed to and for how long.the specific types and quantities of radioactive materials, or isotopes, released.If the fuel and surrounding containment structures are severely damaged, radioactive materials and ionizing radiation may be released, potentially posing a health risk for people. In nuclear power plants, specially designed fuel rods and containment structures enclose the radioactive materials to prevent them, and the ionizing radiation they produce, from contaminating the environment. Additional radioactive isotopes are produced during this process. Nuclear power plants use energy released by the decay of certain radioactive isotopes to produce electricity. What are the health hazards of exposure to ionizing radiation? from cosmic rays originating in the sun and other extraterrestrial sources and from technological devices ranging from dental and medical x-ray machines to the picture tubes of old-style televisionsĮveryone on Earth is exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation from natural and technological sources in varying proportions, depending on their geographic location, diet, occupation, and lifestyle.These isotopes are also produced in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons explosions. Radioactive isotopes occur naturally in the Earth’s crust, soil, atmosphere, and oceans. Unstable isotopes, which are also called radioactive isotopes, give off (emit) ionizing radiation as part of the decay process. from the spontaneous decay (breakdown) of unstable isotopes.Ionizing radiation can arise in several ways, including These particles and waves have enough energy to strip electrons from, or ionize, atoms in molecules that they strike. Ionizing radiation consists of subatomic particles (that is, particles that are smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons) and electromagnetic waves. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can trim a clip, add titles, change the style for titles, etc. You can fill out each shot by grabbing a video from your library or by shooting new footage. Once you select a storyboard, you get a list of shots. Templates include social videos, education videos, trailers and product reviews. With storyboards, iMovie users can select a template and get a guided way to make videos. Apple is expanding on that idea and moving beyond movie trailers. iMovie already helped you create a Hollywood-style movie trailer. Today’s other new feature is storyboards. But it helps you create a Memories-like video and start editing from there. If you often watch Memories in the Photos app and keep thinking “I wish I could edit that auto-generated video,” iMovie doesn’t let you edit those Memories. ![]() With Magic Movies, Apple is essentially giving you more flexibility to create a movie based on your media library. iMovie lets you add a voice over your video as well. Users can also pick their own soundtrack from purchased music, GarageBand or any audio file in the Files app. When you switch from one style to another, your video is automatically regenerated. Each style is a package with animations, a soundtrack and transitions. For instance, you can move or delete clips, trim some parts and split a clip into two clips.Īpple has designed 20 different styles so that your Magic Movies don’t all look and sound the same. This is just a starting point as you can still rearrange your movie however you want. Your video footage is automatically stitched together with transitions, music and titles. iMovie then automatically identifies dialogs, people’s faces, actions and more. You can open an album, select some videos and hit next. When you create a Magic Movie, it opens up the Photos library. But if you’ve never used a video editing app before, starting with a blank canvas can be intimidating.Īpple is adding the ability to create Magic Movies to get started with a new project. With the previous version of iMovie, most people started with a blank project on which you could add your own video footage and photos. It is available as a free download on the App Store for anyone running at least iOS 15.2 or iPadOS 15.2. iMovie 3.0 introduces two new major features - storyboards and Magic Movie. Apple is releasing an iMovie update today for iOS and iPadOS. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of his first acting roles was alongside Tupac Shakur as High Top, the brother and henchman to Shakur's drug kingpin Tank, in the 1996 film Bullet. The scar became his signature feature, and resulted in offers to perform as a thug in music videos, and modeling opportunities with noted photographers like David LaChapelle. Williams had a large facial scar he received in a bar fight on his 25th birthday, when he was slashed with a razor blade. He also choreographed Crystal Waters' 1994 single " 100% Pure Love". He got a job as a background dancer with singer Kym Sims, which led to more work appearing as a dancer in music videos and on tours with artists such as George Michael and Madonna, as well as some modeling work. During a year in which he was intermittently homeless, Williams visited record labels and dance studios looking for work. However, inspired by Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, he left school and quit his job, against the wishes of his family, to pursue a career as a dancer. Williams worked for Pfizer pharmaceuticals as a temp. Later, Williams enrolled at the National Black Theatre in New York City. ![]() Williams was raised in the Vanderveer Projects in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, and attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School. Williams, an American, from Greeleyville, South Carolina, where his African-American family has deep roots. Williams was born on November 22, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York City, the son of Bahamian born Paula Thompson and Booker T. In the aftermath of his death, he was subject to tributes and appraisal both in the United States and beyond the British lecturer and writer Kenan Malik wrote of his "power and nuance, seldom seen on screen". With The Wire and other shows such as The Sopranos, Williams was credited with being part of the late 1990s and early 2000s artistic force changing American television into an art form. Williams' portrayal of Omar Little has been called one of the best in the history of television. Four men were charged in the aftermath of his death with various crimes, including manslaughter. He continued to live in Brooklyn until his death in 2021 at age 54, after using heroin laced with a lethal amount of fentanyl. Williams acknowledged struggles with fame throughout his life, admitting that he had suffered from drug addictions during the height of his success. He also had supporting roles in a number of films including Gone Baby Gone (2007), The Road (2009), Inherent Vice (2014), and Motherless Brooklyn (2019), as well as starring roles in 12 Years a Slave (2013), Robocop (2014), The Purge: Anarchy (2014), The Gambler (2014), Triple 9 (2016), Ghostbusters (2016), and Assassin's Creed (2016). He had a recurring role in the NBC sitcom Community from 2011 to 2012. He earned five Primetime Emmy Award nominations for his performances in the HBO television biopic Bessie (2015), the Netflix drama series When They See Us (2019), and the HBO series The Night Of (2016) and Lovecraft Country (2020). Williams also played Albert "Chalky" White on the HBO series Boardwalk Empire from 2010 to 2014. ![]() ![]() His performance as Omar was widely acclaimed, leading to praise from President Barack Obama and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series in 2007. His distinctive voice, prominent facial scar, and charisma helped him attain acting work, initially alongside Tupac Shakur in the 1996 film Bullet before being cast in The Wire in 2002. He left school early to pursue a career as a dancer, which resulted in his working with Kym Sims, George Michael, and Madonna, and found work choreographing music videos. īorn in Brooklyn, New York City, to a South Carolinian father and a Bahamian mother, Williams enrolled at the National Black Theater. He has been described as a "singular presence, onscreen and off, who made every role his own". He rose to fame in 2002 through his critically acclaimed role as Omar Little on the HBO drama series The Wire.

We acknowledge that there is a general rule that cell phones should not be used or visible during class time. Since you learn more effectively when your sense of hearing is engaged, recording your classes with your cell phone might be helpful. Here are some strategies you can employ to help improve your comprehension, memory and focus while preparing for exams. A head-on approach is one way to combat these feelings, and you can do so by becoming familiar with study strategies that might help you revise as an auditory learner. We frequently allow these feelings to cloud our thinking and prevent us from starting to study or even thinking about a study strategy. ![]() ![]() It is common for some people to become anxious during exam season due to the overwhelming feeling they have of being unprepared or not having enough time to revise everything they need for a specific subject. □ Tend to excel in the language arts and music. □ Able to quickly comprehend spoken information. □ Excellent listening skills and success in listening tests/exams. □️ Able to work through complex problems by speaking aloud. □ Able to retain spoken information over extended periods. □ Effective communication skills and public speaking abilities. □ Excel in oral exams and presentations. Here are some strengths you may possess as an auditory learner: Strengths of Auditory LearnersĪs an auditory learner, you have a variety of qualities and characteristics that will enable you to thrive. As a result, you might be an auditory learner if you notice that studying while listening to music helps you remember better. When you combine new ideas and concepts with nonverbal sounds such as an instrumental version of a song, clapping, or drum beats, your knowledge retention can improve. This means you would recall and comprehend new concepts better when they are explained out loud, even if you are the one speaking, which can help you remember and understand them better. Auditory learners prefer listening to a lecture over reading a textbook or hearing the instructions for a project instead of figuring it out hands-on. What is Auditory Learning?Īuditory learning refers to learning processes that are best accomplished via listening or using your sense of hearing. If you find that you are not an auditory learner after reading this post, we have previously discussed the visual learning style in an earlier piece, and the kinaesthetic learning style is upcoming. In this post, we’ll show you what distinguishes the auditory learning style from other types of learning styles and what study strategies auditory learners can employ to achieve their academic goals. There are three frequently overlooked learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic, which form the foundation for how learning occurs. Recognising and defining your learning style is critical for academic success because it allows you to focus your efforts on introducing and implementing strategies that will improve your learning. Similarly, learning, as a set of cognitive processes, is inextricably linked to how we perceive and respond to our experiences. The way we interpret the things we encounter in the environment shapes our interactions and experiences with them.

When a Hydraulic Motor is being driven the Output Torque M(Nm) can be calculated by following these steps. Any change in torque depends on what gear you are driving your vehicle. Its application is to change (increase or decrease) the car’s speed by changing the engine torque. Let’s imagine we have a bolt that has rusted in place and requires a torque of 3Nm before it’ll budge. For example, a gearbox is a type of gear train. In other words, it is a measure of how much a force causes an object to rotate. Torque is a force around a given point, applied at some distance from that point.
