![]() But as I got more advanced, my teacher showed me a tuning app for any string instrument, and this is it! When the orchestra year of 4th grade ended, I had to give away my school iPad I used this tuner on away to the next 4th graders. Once I started playing, my teacher would tune it for me. After 3rd grade ended, I had the choice to participate in a school orchestra! The instrument choices were the violin, viola, cello, and the bass. Thank you for making this app! A lot of people need it, and I think it was a wonderful idea to make an app like this! But I have one question that I will get to in a bit. Let me just start off my review with a thank. It would save me a lot of time and it would save my nails :) Lastly, my suggestion: it would be helpful if you could select a specific note that you are trying to play so it doesn’t get confused with other notes. I think it helps because it starts to look for that specific note. It’s a hit or miss: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Another thing that sort of helped was playing the note I wanted by switching to the “tone generator” tab and playing the sound I wanted I turn it off and play the note on my kalimba. Here’s a tip that may be useful: taking the case off my phone helped. Your nails are what you use to pluck the tines, so it’s a little bit harder to play. It was especially difficult to tune the highest note on the kalimba and I ended up destroying my nails by plucking the same tine over and over again. The only problem is that whenever I was trying to tune the higher notes on my kalimba, it kept thinking I was trying to tune a different note than what I wanted. I love this app! It works very well and it is extremely helpful when tuning something. More about us on Follow us on Twitter/Facebook Write to us: videos on bit.ly/eumvideoĮnjoy insTuner? Try Pro Metronome for FREE!

The G.S.15 pay scale also varies according to location. ![]() The most significant annual federal wage in 2023 is $152,771. But the salary is limited to the Executive Schedule at level V and starts at $117,518 per year. The hourly pay of a GS-15 employee is $56.31 per hour. At least one year (52 weeks) of specialized experience that is equivalent to the FV-G pay band (or FG/GS-10/11 grade level or equivalents in other pay systems) that provided the knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform successfully the work of the position being filled. 2024 Federal Pay Raise Proposed at 8.7% by Lawmakers - If passed, the proposed Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act in the House and Senate would provide a base pay raise of 4.7%. 2024 Federal Pay Raise of 5.2% Proposed in White House Budget - If implemented, this would be the largest GS pay increase for federal workers in 40 years.But there’s also quite a bit of nuance underlying that definition. Broadly stated, Future Value is a grade on the 20-80 scale that maps to anticipated annual WAR production during the player’s first six years of service. FV stands for Future Value, and it’s the way we distill each player’s scouting evaluation into a single expression.At the GS-9 grade, each pay step adds $1,442 to the annual salary. Currently, a GS-9 starts at $43,251 for step 1 and reaches $56,229 per year at step 10 (not including locality pay adjustments). The Senior Executive Service salary tops out at $187,000 per annum.The 2023 GS base pay table is displayed below. An employee's base pay depends on two factors - the GS Paygrade of their job, and the Paygrade Step they have achieved (depending on seniority or performance). The General Schedule (GS) payscale is the federal government payscale used to determine the salaries of over 70% of federal civilian employees. The average annual salary for full-time non-postal employees has. The Senior Executive Service salary tops out at $226,300 per annum. General Schedule (GS) base pay varies from the GS-1 level at $20,999 per annum to $152,771 per annum at step 10 of the GS-15 grade, not including locality pay adjustments. The pay scales certainly are a method of identifying by far the most. Fv-f Pay Scale – Pay scales, sometimes termed salary scales or pay scales, are structured methods private employers make and use to set an employee’s base salaries for his or her work responsibilities, knowledge, talent, schooling, and on-the-job education. That also doesn't account for some people being unable to max their pay bands at TSA or FAA due to. I think that's a significant enough difference in pay to at least note it. FAA's I-band maxes at $2000 more, but starts at $12,000 less. Family Medical Leave Act - 12 weeks unpaid leave.They max higher, but start significantly lower.

This inability of Captain Obvious to stick with any particular group has also hurt his cultural standing. "I mean, it really wouldn't have been a problem," said Superman in an interview, "If they didn't have to make it just so freakin'. readily tolerated a clandestine relationship between a certain bat-themed hero and his sidekick), the indiscreet nature of the relationship - including flirting in public and spats in crowded restaurants - drew unwanted attention to the Justice League. Although group members did not disapprove of such relationships (the J.L.A. His expulsion may also have been related to the non-professional nature of his relationship with his sidekick, Readily Apparent Boy. The final straw came when Magneto broke into the X-Men's headquarters after Captain Obvious hid the key under a doormat, making off with Professor X's CD collection and the team's X-box. He was later expelled from the X-Men due to his numerous bouts of obviousness. However, he earned few points with them for this performance because the X-Men were only infiltrating to rescue Captain Obvious. He managed to demonstrate a moderate degree of usefulness when he was able to annoy and distract an evil-doer (a time-traveling evil mutant clone of the Silver Surfer) with his obvious statements, which gave the X-Men time to infiltrate the villain's lair. He was first brought into the X-Men for his intelligence and vocalness, which quickly drove the group mad. ![]() This could be because Captain Obvious has failed to apprehend or destroy Professor Subtle in any way, or because, as Captain Obvious has pointed out on several occasions, "It's all retcon's fault!". His main rival is the dastardly Professor Subtle, against whom he battles in many comic book and television episodes, but Professor Subtle never fails to reappear in subsequent episodes. He sometimes carries a large shield with him, though this is primarily to stop his own team mates from beating the living daylights out of him. The "O" stands for " Obvious", rather than " Oklahoma", " Oregon", " Osama bin Laden", " Orange", " Oprah", " Obama" or any of the other six words that begin with an "O". This is the circular image on his helmet, identical to the letter used elsewhere however, its use in such instances does not necessarily pertain to Captain Obvious. Nor is he licensed to fly commercial or cargo aircraft or pilot fishing boats or cargo vessels, meaning that in a situation where he would have to pilot one of these vehicles and is asked by a duly authorized official to prove that he had the legal right to do so, he would not be able to.Ĭaptain Obvious's symbol is a large "O". Although the "Obvious" part of Captain Obvious's name is certainly true, Captain Obvious does not hold the rank of Captain in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps, the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, the Salvation Army or any Police or Fire Department. The prefix "Captain", however, is purely symbolic. ~ The general public on Captain's statementsĬaptain Obvious is a superhero - one of the people who fight bad guys, supervillains, and assorted evil-doers. ~ Captain Obvious on this obvious article “This is an article about me, Captain Obvious.” ![]() You may be looking for John Madden and not even know it! Captain Obvious ![]() ![]() Selected by the Braves in the 17th round of the 1971 amateur draft, Pocoroba spent the majority of his career as a backup catcher, with one good season (1977) and one all-star appearance (1978). I just didn’t know what to make of Biff Pocoroba.īiff Benedict Pocoroba was born on Jand played 10 years in the Majors with the Atlanta Braves. So was Don Aase (until several years later when I first heard his name pronounced ‘AH-see’.) But the funniest name of all to me had nothing to do with body parts. I was still too young to think Bobby Cox was funny, but Dick Drago was. I was 8 years old…Dick Pole made me giggle (still does at 48). I remember Mike Schmidt’s wide collar and Phil Niekro’s windbreaker… Bill Bonham’s terrible hair and Oscar Gamble’s magnificent afro… the weird Greg Minton pre-Photoshop, hand-painted portrait/snapshot hybrid… ![]() I sorted, re-sorted and studied the cards as if there was going to be a test. I was captivated by the funny names, colorful uniforms, bad hair and big mustaches. To me, they were my first real introduction to the game and the characters who played it. The set is known to collectors for its simple design with the team names emblazoned across the bottom of the cards in an iconic script. When I took-over the collection from my older brother, it had trading cards of all sorts, including 2 or 3 fat stacks of 1978 Topps Baseball. In fact, now that I think about it, without that first shoebox-full of cards there wouldn’t be a Van Lingle Mungo Hall of Fame at all. The Van Lingle Mungo Hall of Fame has become a fun exercise for me on many levels, but the very best part is the time traveling I do every time I see a name that makes me recall my first baseball card collection. Later in life Kettle ran a baseball school and also worked for himself … as a beer distributor.Ĭheers to Kettle Wirts for that winding trip down memory lane – and welcome to the Van Lingle Mungo Hall of Fame! Wirts was certainly a better ballplayer than I, but it seems our love of baseball wasn’t the only thing we had in common… His professional baseball career began in the minors in 1918 with the class B Spokane Indians and extended until 1935. The right-handed catcher played 43 of those games with the Chicago Cubs, before moving to the southside and playing his final 6 with the White Sox. The resulting mixtures are called “worts”.?Įlwood Vernon “Kettle” Wirts was born on this day in 1897 and played in 49 Major League games over 4 seasons between 1921-24. In fact, I did indeed make a brief foray into homebrewing back then, making several batches of shitty beer before giving up after a carboy exploded its yeasty muck all over our Greenlake rental kitchen.Īs I recall, the first step in homebrewing, is to boil malt, sugar and water in a kettle. The first year I got my old Little League and High School teammates back together to play in the NABA…our team name was the Bothell Brewers. I even played on a men’s fastpitch softball team for two summers. Beginning 1994, each spring and summer I played baseball in the NABA, and on several competitive and rec-league men’s and co-ed slow-pitch softball teams. Looking back on my life back then, it could very much be defined by Baseball and Beer. We were also regulars at the Kingdome in those days (usually after a stop at the King Street Alehouse and followed by a trip to the Owl n’ Thistle) and were first-hand witnesses to the rise of the Seattle Mariners and their brief heyday, including their historic playoff run in 1995. I spent a lot of time in bars back then, in large part because I worked in the wine and craft beer business… and in a (much) larger part, because I liked drinking beer and watching baseball. I was fresh out of college and living with 3 buddies in a house near Greenlake, that was about halfway between Leny’s (in what is now known as Tangletown), and Murphy’s Pub on 45th. When I first saw the name “Kettle Wirts” it immediately made me time-travel back to my mid 20’s. ![]() ![]() The development of the 941 heavy strategic submarine was authorized in December 1972, and on 19 December 1973 the governmental officially issued the order to design and build the 941 ballistic missile submarine. It also employs two floating antenna buoys to receive radio messages, target designation data and satellite navigation signals at great depth and under an ice cover. The "Slope" system allows to track 10-12 vessels simultaneously. The Typhoons are equipped with the "Slope" hydroacoustic system that consists of four hydroacoustic stations. To reduce the acoustic signature a two-spool system of rubber-cord pneumatic shock-absorption is employed as well as a block layout of gears and equipment, a new sound isolation and andrihydroacoustic coating. Compared to the first and second generation of SSBNs the Typhoon enjoys far greater maneuverability Despite of its larger displacement the Typhoons are less noisy than their predecessors. The main machinery consists of two reactors each and two steam turbines of 190 MW that provide a maximum speed of 25-27 knots. The Typhoon has an automated torpedo and missile loading system including 6 torpedo tubes with calibres of 650 and 533 mm. They are arranged in silos in two rows in front of the sail between the main hulls. The submarine is equipped with the D-19 launch system with 20 solid-fuel propellant R-39 missiles which have a range of up to 10,000 km. The sail and sail guard have a reinforced rounded cover for ice-breaking. The retractable systems include two periscopes (one for the commander and one for general use), radio sextant, radar, radio communications, navigation and direction-finder masts. The nose horizontal hydroplanes are in the bow section and are retractable into the hull. It has an advanced stern fin with horizontal hydroplane fitted after the screws. The submarine's design includes features to enable it to both travel under ice and for ice-breaking. A protected module, comprising the main control room and electronic equipment compartment, is arranged behind the missile silos above the main hulls in a centerplane under the guard of retractable devices. The pressure hulls, the centerplane and the torpedo compartment are made of titanium and the outer light hull is made of steel. ![]() Both hulls and all compartments are connected by transitions. The missile compartment is arranged in the upper part of the bow between the pressure hulls. The pressure hulls are arranged parallel to each other and symmetrical to a centerplane. The submarine has two separate pressure hulls with a diameter of 7.2 m each, five inner habitable hulls and 19 compartments. The design of the Typhoon submarine is multi-hulled and bears resemblance to a catamaran. Each submarine is capable of carrying twenty long-range ballistic missiles with up to 200 nuclear warheads that were once aimed at the United States. The Typhoon is the world’s largest submarine and was one of the most feared weapons of the Cold War. They are able to do so tied up at their docks. These submarines do not have to submerge or go to sea to launch their long-range missiles. During the Cold War the Typhoon submarines prowled the waters of the North Atlantic. ![]() ![]() IoT encourages the communication between devices, also famously known as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. But let’s leave the threats aside for the time being and focus only on the positives in this post.īefore we understand the impact IoT can have on our way of living, it’s important to go through its advantages and disadvantages: Internet of Things also poses some grave issues that need to be tackled well in order to utilize its fullest potential. Apart from the fact that it is a path-breaking discovery, it can also prove to be extremely beneficial in facilitating our lives to manifolds.Įvery new technology faces a million challenges in its initial phases. It describes a situation where everything in our surrounding environment is made capable of automatically communicating with each other without any inter-human or human-to-machine interaction. So, what exactly is IOT? Said in the simplest manner, it refers to a virtual internet connection from things, processes, people, animals and almost everything that we see around. Like every fresh concept, the masses are not too familiar with this novel idea. IOT or Internet of Things is a burning topic these days. These advanced devices can even actuate or effect the data they’re measuring (a connected thermostat is an easy example.). This data can be simple numbers from a stationary or mobile sensor (such as a temperature sensor), or more complex findings from devices that measure and report multiple data streams at once. Specifically, the Internet of Things is an extension of the existing connections between people and computers to include digitally-connected “things.” The Internet of Things, called the IoT for short, is a new interconnection of technology heralded as the next industrial revolution-implying radical change, disruption, and an entirely new paradigm for the planet.

Layout of the hot water distribution system that establishes venting of trapped air through the plumbing fixtures above-whether up-feed, down-feed or up- and down-feed system configurations-can be the most important factor in avoiding balancing and adjustment problems during initial system commissioning. This arrangement has been shown to be much less problematic than systems where the return pipe is above the highest plumbing fixtures as a vertical extension of the hot water distribution riser. ![]() The air is then vented out of the plumbing fixtures above with each use of the fixtures. Distribution layouts that establish the connection of the return pipe to the hot water distribution riser at the floor below the highest plumbing fixtures allow air to bypass the return system connection to the riser.

![]() A single bed bug bite is similar to a flea bite, except that a red area does not occur in the center. In rare cases, people may develop large, often itchy, red welts. The most common skin reaction to bed bug bites are itchy red bite marks that appear clustered or in a straight line, often along the edge of clothing or where sheets were pulled up to a person's skin. Bites may go unnoticed or may be mistaken for flea or mosquito bites or other skin conditions. Skin reactions from bed bug bites vary from person to person. Contact a pest control company for bed bug identification help. If you suspect a bed bug problem, it's important to first confirm that you really have bed bugs. Heavy bed bug infestations can cause a sweet, musty smell. ![]() Bed bugs often leave evidence of small dark stains (fecal droppings) and rusty red spots (bloodstains) on bedding sheets, mattresses, and other areas they hide in or travel along. You may be able to find them hiding within the cracks and crevices of beds, furniture, floors, and walls. Bed bugs typically infest mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and couches. However, these itchy bites can take as long as 14 days to develop in some people, so it's important to look for other clues if you are concerned about an infestation. Itchy swollen bites may be the first sign of a bed bug problem. Wash all your clothes in hot water and put them in a hot dryer for at least 20 minutes. Take your clothes from the plastic bags and place them directly into the washing machine. Upon returning home, keep your luggage in an isolated area, such as the garage. Bed bugs may also travel between apartments through small crevices, cracks, and ventilation ducts in walls and floors. Bed bugs can hitch a ride on items purchased second-hand, or from furniture and bedding that is delivered to your home. People often bring bed bugs into their homes via infested luggage, furniture, bedding, or clothing. How do I prevent bed bugs from entering my home? Anxiety, insomnia, and irritability have been reported in some people. Bed bugs may also affect a person's mental health. Scratching the bites can lead to infection. However, some people are more sensitive to the bites and develop itchy, red welts. No, there are no known cases of infectious disease transmitted by bed bug bites. Bed bugs don't fly, but can quickly walk across floors, walls, and other surfaces. During the bed bug life cycle, a female can lay 200-400 eggs depending on food supply and temperature. They feed for about 3-10 minutes and their bodies swell and become bright red. Adult bed bugs are about 1/4 of an inch long, have flat, rusty-red-colored oval bodies, and look like an apple seed. Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed on our blood, typically at night, while we are sleeping. ![]() ![]() This type of art history is also known as formalism, or the study of forms or shapes in art. Paul Jacobsthal and Josef Strzygowski are among the art historians who followed Riegl in proposing grand schemes tracing the transmission of elements of styles across great ranges in time and space. Important writers on the broad theory of style including Carl Friedrich von Rumohr, Gottfried Semper, and Alois Riegl in his Stilfragen of 1893, with Heinrich Wölfflin and Paul Frankl continued the debate into the 20th century. History of the concept of architectural style Ĭonstructing schemes of the period styles of historic art and architecture was a major concern of 19th century scholars in the new and initially mostly German-speaking field of art history. In and of itself, vernacular architecture is not a style. As vernacular architecture is better understood as suggestive of culture, writ broadly (as well as a theory and a process rather than a thing-in-itself), it technically can encompass every architectural style-or none at all. Vernacular architecture is listed separately. The Spanish mission style was revived 100 years later as the Mission Revival, and that soon evolved into the Spanish Colonial Revival. Each time it is revived, it is different. For instance, classicism has been revived many times and found new life as neoclassicism. One example is the Spanish missions in California, brought by Spanish priests in the late 18th century and built in a unique style.Īfter an architectural style has gone out of fashion, revivals and re-interpretations may occur. An architectural style may also spread through colonialism, either by foreign colonies learning from their home country, or by settlers moving to a new land. For instance, Renaissance ideas emerged in Italy around 1425 and spread to all of Europe over the next 200 years, with the French, German, English, and Spanish Renaissances showing recognisably the same style, but with unique characteristics. ![]() The new style is sometimes only a rebellion against an existing style, such as postmodern architecture (meaning "after modernism"), which in 21st century has found its own language and split into a number of styles which have acquired other names.Īrchitectural styles often spread to other places, so that the style at its source continues to develop in new ways while other countries follow with their own twist. At any time several styles may be fashionable, and when a style changes it usually does so gradually, as architects learn and adapt to new ideas. They are documented in the subject of architectural history. Styles therefore emerge from the history of a society. Most architecture can be classified within a chronology of styles which changes over time, reflecting changing fashions, beliefs and religions, or the emergence of new ideas, technology, or materials which make new styles possible. A style may include such elements as form, method of construction, building materials, and regional character. It is a sub-class of style in the visual arts generally, and most styles in architecture relate closely to a wider contemporary artistic style. The Architect's Dream by Thomas Cole (1840) shows a vision of buildings in the historical styles of the Western tradition, including ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek, ancient Roman, and Gothic.Īn architectural style is a set of characteristics and features that make a building or structure notable or historically identifiable.
