![]() ![]() Teak is another popular and globally used hardwood. It can be non-durable to moderately durable depending on the species. Popular types include red oak, white oak, black oak, and willow oak. As one of the most inexpensive hardwoods, oak is widely used in many commercial applications. Oak comes in many varieties, almost all of which are strong hardwood. The wood is also somewhat resistant to moisture. Hickory is strong hardwood, looks beautiful and requires very little maintenance, which is why it is preferred for flooring. ![]() Hickory is a popular hardwood that is mainly used for flooring because of its extreme durability. The wood is extensively used in furniture, cabinetry, veneering, panelling, and turned items. The grain is straight, which makes it easy to work with. Black Walnut heartwood is light brown or dark brown with darker streaks. The wood is resistant to decay but susceptible to insect attacks. It has a Janka rating of 1,010 lbf and is considered very hard and durable. Black Walnutīlack walnut hardwood is native to the Eastern United States. Since we cannot cover all types of hardwood in just one post, in this article, we will talk about the top 10 most popular types of hardwood. Some examples of hardwoods include Abachi, acacia, African padauk, afzelia, agba, alder, ash, aspen, Australian red cedar, balsa, basswood, birch, blackbean, blackwood, boxwood, Brazilian walnut, brazilwood, buckeye, butternut, cherry, cottonwood, cumaru, dogwood, ebony, elm, eucalyptus, greenheart, gum, hackberry, hickory, ipe, iroko, ironwood, kingwood, limba, locust, mahogany, maple, meranti, marblewood, mopane, oak, Merbau, olive, okume, poplar, pink ivory, redheart, sal, sandalwood, Spanish cedar, teak, tulip, walnut, willow, wenge, and African zebrawood. There are hundreds of hardwood species around the world, however, not all hardwoods are equally good or popular for commercial uses. It includes all wood species procured from deciduous trees. If you are working on a hardwood project or planning to buy hardwood for a new project, it helps to have a basic idea of the different types of hardwood. At the same time, hardwoods are also generally more expensive than softwoods. Hardwoods are considered hard, dense and durable (not all) and generally more suitable than softwoods for a number of uses. Hardwoods are products of deciduous trees, which lose their leaves in autumn. Hardwood is a type of wood commonly used in construction, furniture making and various other purposes.

Yang: masculine, bright, assertive, creative, positive, and strong.) The interaction of these complementary poles was viewed as integral to the processes that generate natural order. In their metaphysics they naturally employed the ancient yin and yang (Yin: feminine, dark, receptive, yielding, negative, and weak. The book argues that as Neo-Confucians put their philosophy of learning into practice in local society, they justified a new social ideal in which society. Chinese philosophers found it useful to think in terms of complimentary opposites, interacting polarities- inner and outer, substance and function, knowledge and action. A leading scholar and classicist as well as sharp intellect and devoted. Beginning in the late Tang and early Northern Song (960-1127), Neo-Confucian thinkers rebuilt Confucian ethics using Buddhist and Daoist metaphysics. Zhu Xi, the preeminent Neo-Confucian ( daoxue) master of the Southern Song (11261271), is generally ranked as second only to Confucius (551479 BCE) in influence and as rivaling Zhuangzi (fourth century BCE) in philosophic acumen in the Chinese philosophical tradition. 2 Confucianism developed from what was later called the Hundred Schools of Thought. ![]() Variously described as tradition, a philosophy, a religion, a humanistic or rationalistic religion, a way of governing, or a way of life. With Buddhist thought, scholars in the 5th and 6th centuries engaged in philosophical discussions of truth and reality, being and non-being, substantiality and nonsubstantiality. Confucianism, also known as Ruism or Ru classicism, 1 is a system of thought and behavior originating in ancient China. It was Buddhism that first introduced, from India, a system of metaphysics and a coherent worldview more advanced than anything known in China. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism, Confucian thought and values began to take on even greater significance in Korean culture and government. The development of Monumental landscape painting coincided with that of Neo-Confucianism-a reinterpretation of Chinese moral philosophy. ![]() Like, it seemed as if it was going to be funny. If there was one thing in particular that was a let down, it was the incongruity between the design and the plot evolution. Slick, sleek, and everything a zombie mercenary could hope for, the cars on offer in Zombie Driver were one of the game’s highlights for this reviewer. Players unlock 15 different rides, from a school bus of the undead (yes, that was an Aqua Teen reference) to the upgraded taxi that doubles as a Chariot of Death, and these rides are something. The expected range of weaponry is available: flamethrowers, rocket launchers and rail guns, among other things help you shred the plagued. That was cool.Īs players struggle to survive wave after wave zombified marauders, mounted weapons become the most effective way to mow down the afflicted. Zombie Driver will automatically record clips of the game’s most prolific moments. Developers have added a cool feature that takes advantage of XBox One’s next-gen platform, introducing Game DVR Greatest Moments. Careen around streets over a sea of blood and watch the clouds of dust and veritable Etch-a-Sketch of sanguinous tire tracks trail behind you. Weapons can be plentifully found around the city, which is a good thing since the undead are sort of boundless. Reaching checkpoints extended the challenge time, and maneuvering around zombies never seemed more aggravating than in this challenge. Endurance mode especially reminded me of WD, and involved a challenge that entailed trying to outrace a ticking bomb strapped to the zombie-killing cab. In Eliminator mode, players engage in a Need For Speed-esque takedown mission, eliminating as many vehicles as possible within the allotted timeframe. ![]() Race mode is a a racing classic but with a machine-gunning-zombies sort of slant. ![]() Still, how amazing it would be to see developers tackle the problem of the zombie behaviors before challenges and achievements are updated to this classic game.īlood Races have three distinct classes, all of which reminded me that Watch Dog’s game within-a-game was likely inspired by Zombie Driver. The artwork did not disappoint––the bosses were creative, and the blood skid marks that failed to disappear no matter how many passes a player made were a nice touch. Developers also report plans to release new challenges and achievements regularly following the game’s initial release to keep gamers coming back for more carnage.īoss fights aren’t necessarily something a person might anticipate in a zombie racing game, but then Zombie Driver defies labels like “racing game.” Sounds really cool, but the unfortunate sidenote is that these boss fights, along with the behavior of the zombies themselves, seem mechanical and repetitive. Some other objects are newly animated, also, making this updated Zombie Driver, at least in my estimation, worth the money. The lighting has been revamped for this Zombie Driver do-over, and it shows: textures seem to have higher resolution, the fog adds dimension to scenes, reflections and shadows are cast accurately, creating a real polish to the winding streets and walker littered public thoroughfares. That’s not the only thing that’s pretty in this game about rotting flesh and stumbling roadblocks. The visuals have been upgraded, too, at 60 frames-per and 1080p, making the whole experience pretty and entertaining. (I spent maybe an hour trying to write my name discernibly in the street before that got old.)ĭevelopers report that in addition to more weapons and well over double the zombies, players will find 31 story missions, 36 unique Blood Race events, 9 Slaughter arenas and 15 vehicles to demolish corpses with. The top-down perspective can be jarring at first in this vehicular combat game, but it makes sense once players get used to it, and was a cool throwback to old-school GTA. Zombie Driver is back with an Ultimate Edition for only $14.99 on The game comes equipped with all the DLC that fans have come to know and love in previous releases, but there’s so much more to love in this new release for Xbox Live. Little has been spake of this fun-to-play zombie slasher that condones vehicular homicide (so long as the victim’s are already cold)…until now.ĭuh-da-da-DAH ! But if gamers thought they’d seen the last of this playfully gruesome title, well, they were dead wrong. The game was nixxed, however, once Cyberfront went bankrupt earlier in 2014, leaving Polish developer Exor Studios with its zombie-d*$% in its undead hand. Publisher Cyberfront originally released both the console and PC versions of this popular driving game with an undead twist in 2012.

Without apparent reason and without obvious fault with no special software.Īs a result of a systemic crash today, I reinstalled my entire suite Adobe (making sure to eliminate leftovers) and I reinstalled El Capitan. these accidents are less frequent but still happening. I guess my next task is to find an easier to apply dictionary (Canadian) and understand how to install it.Īnd so it goes. Only by reading this thread I was able to launch the dictionary application - which immediately began to download a copy of the New Oxford American Dictionary. However, when I 'Look Up' a Word, I get a wikipedia article on a group of rock or something unrelated, like the component dictionary was gone by default. Whenever I write a strange word, I try to make sure I use it properly. I depend a lot on the context dictionary and see that it is missing, once upgraded to 10.12 is a bit annoying, not because I can not find how to fix it (because I think I have), but I'd need to know where to do this. The question I did experience is otherwise. This phenomenon happens to you too much on the Sierra? I would also add that, as a countermeasure, I did the following: deleted the file in the folder of user library, re-indexed Spotlight, tried on a new account user without result, disabled the definitions in Spotlight, moved preferences box and down the dictionaries selected in the pane preferably small in the dictionary. To summarize, it looks like that Spotlight does not recognize these two American dictionaries (I also tried with a Dutch-English Dictionary) and continues to find definitions for the bilingual. ![]() I have no problem with context menus because they show all the dictionaries that are enabled in the dictionary application preferences window. In short, I'm looking for something similar in view of that context when menu shows you yellow - highlight a Word while, for example, surf Safari. Now, as much as I appreciate see entries from the dictionary being translated in my own native language (Italian), I would also like to see the entries in the monolingual dictionary on Spotlight, I strongly need for my work. This means that if I have the New Oxford American Dictionary and its corresponding Thesaurus, Spotlight do not think everything about these dictionaries and keep will show the results of dictionaries, I disabled it, which in this case is the bilingual Italian-English Dictionary. So whenever I try to do a quick search of dictionary-based on Spotlight, Spotlight gives me no results for dictionaries monolingual English. I'll try to explain this in the least difficult way possible. Since the installation of Sierra, I experienced some problems with the Dictionary application. So, which tool should you use? Personally, I opt for LibreOffice. But for users who just want to install an operating system and start working, LibreOffice has the advantage.īeyond these differences, you’re looking at picking nits so tiny that very few would ever spot them. Generally speaking, this isn’t all that difficult. Instead, you must download the installer for your platform and install it manually. Apache OpenOffice, on the other hand, does not enjoy this same status. If not, it can easily be found in the default repositories (so installation is only a matter of searching for LibreOffice in the software installer - such as the Ubuntu Software Center - and installing). Most distributions ship with LibreOffice pre-installed. This difference tends to only affect the Linux side of things. InstallationĪnother major difference is installation. ![]() ![]() This isn’t a huge advantage at the moment, but if LibreOffice comes up with a game-changing feature, Apache OpenOffice will not enjoy said feature. Because of the licensing issues, major advancements or improvements to Apache OpenOffice can be incorporated into LibreOffice, but major advancements or improvements to LibreOffice cannot be incorporated into OpenOffice. There is, however, one big difference - one that could possibly have a huge impact on future releases. Outside of that, you’re looking at a fairly consistent feature set across the board. LibreOffice also includes an embedding font feature that you won’t find in Apache OpenOffice either. There’s a nifty Android remote control for presentations (check out my post “ Control your LibreOffice presentations from your Android smartphone“) that appears in LibreOffice but not Apache OpenOffice.

This sidebar gives you instant access to all document properties. The Apache OpenOffice sidebar is based on the Symphony (a now defunct office suite by IBM) Properties Panel. At most, if you looked at them side-by-side, you’d see the Apache OpenOffice sidebar is on by default ( Figure A), where LibreOffice requires you to enable this feature (via View | Sidebar). The average user might not see too many differences between these open-source office suites. This is where it gets both interesting and confusing. The LibreOffice releases tend to bring new features and changes at tiny increments, whereas Apache OpenOffice updates (due to the infrequency of releases) tend to be more dramatic. On the other, it could more readily introduce bugs (bug that are, in turn, patched quickly). Is that good or bad? On one hand, it means that you’re getting fixes and new features faster. LibreOffice makes available the latest iteration much more rapidly and frequently than Apache OpenOffice. At the moment, Apache OpenOffice is at release 4.1.1 and LibreOffice is at release 4.3.1. To make this perfectly clear, Apache OpenOffice is behind LibreOffice in release. ![]() Both include everything you need to get your productivity done - word processor, spreadsheets, database, formulas, and drawing tools. I also want it to be known that, in my opinion, both tools are outstanding replacements for the costlier proprietary solutions that are available. What I do want is to lay out what sets each tool apart, so you can decide which office suite best fits your needs. But… why would you choose one over the other? I don’t want to stand and take sides for this argument. All of these software titles (, Apache OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice, and more) all stem from the original StarOffice (which was actually a proprietary office suite).īoth tools (LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice) are free, cross-platform office suites that do an outstanding job of getting your work done. This was the same software that was once owned by Oracle and then relinquished to Apache. The OpenOffice of which I now speak is officially Apache OpenOffice.

However, she also begins dealing magic damage in this active form with phased movement. Lastly, Pierce the Veil, her ultimate, makes her immune to physical damage, similar to ethereal form. At max level, it’s a 50% proc chance, which essentially lets her deal double auto-attack damage. Her passive, Gunslinger, gives her an extra proc of second attack. From the slow and reduced attack speed to a decent damage output from the rounding revenants that also silences on-hit. Her second ability, The Calling, is an AOE spell that does various effects. Yet, Dead Shot isn’t even overpowered in the grand scheme of her other skills, besides being very effective versus mobile heroes. Since the Fear effect’s direction depends on the shot’s trajectory, it can be used in a creative way to force the opponent into an awkward position. Whilst being an instant wave-clearing ability, Dead Shot’s secondary effect is fearing an opponent hero on impact. ![]() Her first skill, Dead Shot, works as a ricochet that hits all units it passes, much like Pangolier’s Swashbuckle without the hero moving along.

Eight ( F 6) end with a short syllable and five ( F 5) end with a long syllable. Thirteen ( F 7) ways of arranging long and short syllables in a cadence of length six. Fibonacci numbers are also closely related to Lucas numbers, which obey the same recurrence relation and with the Fibonacci numbers form a complementary pair of Lucas sequences. They also appear in biological settings, such as branching in trees, the arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruit sprouts of a pineapple, the flowering of an artichoke, an uncurling fern, and the arrangement of a pine cone's bracts.įibonacci numbers are also strongly related to the golden ratio: Binet's formula expresses the nth Fibonacci number in terms of n and the golden ratio, and implies that the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers tends to the golden ratio as n increases. Applications of Fibonacci numbers include computer algorithms such as the Fibonacci search technique and the Fibonacci heap data structure, and graphs called Fibonacci cubes used for interconnecting parallel and distributed systems. įibonacci numbers appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much so that there is an entire journal dedicated to their study, the Fibonacci Quarterly. They are named after the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, later known as Fibonacci, who introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in his 1202 book Liber Abaci. The Fibonacci numbers were first described in Indian mathematics, as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala on enumerating possible patterns of Sanskrit poetry formed from syllables of two lengths. The sequence commonly starts from 0 and 1, although some authors start the sequence from 1 and 1 or sometimes (as did Fibonacci) from 1 and 2. Individual numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are known as Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted F n. In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a sequence in which each number is the sum of the two preceding ones.

That's the basic plot, anyway, but it doesn't take long to deviate into other areas and introduce world-ending stakes.

Interesting concepts and mechanics filter out from this central blood-soaked idea, resulting in a game that feels familiar yet wildly different from its inspiration. It may latch onto a Dark Souls formula that has come to define a generation of action-RPGs, but Bandai Namco's latest manages to set itself apart from the rest by presenting a post-apocalyptic world filled with what are essentially anime vampires.
