![]() ![]() I'll work on something better once I get time (and courage) :)Ġ.0.4 - I made automatic trains viable - they didn't worked in previous version. In 0.0.5 I will fix those issues and make cargo ships compatible. Hence mod don't even work with cargo ships. It feels arbitrary and (worst of all) for slow max_speed it crashes game. ![]() For next change I plan adjusting existing formula so it has smaller spike and tops-up force at about 10m/s and not at 0.7m/s))Īctually after few months - I'm not proud of this formula. This mod will be as compatible as possible with any other train mods, that are adding new trains, but it won't for sure be compatible with any other train-physics mods.īelow force produced by vanilla train with this mod : (x = m/s, y = kN, in future I will make it look better, but I also need to try keep formula small, so there's not a lot of calculations each frame. It's still far from regular locomotive, but it is more viable as cheap version of locomotive.Īs for other cool things, I'm planning to support electric trains and in fact, all work I do is with junk-trains and electric-trains mods installed and tested alongside. It's no longer struggling to even move like with vanilla physics. It's only about how quickly will it move under what load. With this mod there's no such thing as train, that can't move with cargo. Wheel slipping causes not all power going toward accelerating train and - as for now - can't be really dealt with. But I added particles for that occurance, so you will know when it's happening. because factorio don't have concept of throttling, this + previous fact causes trains to sometimes slip wheels a bit. because I don't have engine power curves, low speeds give huuuge amounts of torque. In future I also plan on adding cargo weight, better handling of boat-"trains", and maybe I will completely rewrite whole train system, but it's very far fetched plan.Īs for now there are few things worth of noting : Still ahead of me are things like including other friction forces, variable train power consumption and simulation of diesel engine power curve. Note : I do not (yet) care about in-game balance, I only want cool, slow starting trains, that are powerful and can move as many wagons as I only can think of - at cost of acceleration speed.įor now I wrote data-updates to make trains and wagons way heavier, I rewrote how trains are accelerating and breaking. Trains in vanilla game are not very realistic, I'm planning on overhauling in-game train physics, then maybe even I will touch more train-related topics. 0.0.4 (1 year, 11 months ago) Factorio version: 1.1 Downloaded by: 160 users ![]()

![]() In as much as Roger was famous as a record-setter in the mile race, he was also noted for having one of the most short-lived records: forty-six days. On May 6, 1954, attempting a feat that had been regarded as impossible, he was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes with a time of 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.

He became a well respected neurologist and sports administrator Bannister headed the British Sports Council in the 1970s, where he was a key figure in an early campaign against the use of anabolic steroids in sport. These games were the only time that Landy and Bannister would ever appear in the same race.Īfter winning the European 1,500-m championships later in 1954, Bannister retired from competition. Bannister beat Landy with a time of 3.58.0 minutes Landy also ran under 4 minutes to finish second. Landy led Bannister with less than 300 yds (270 m) to the finish line, when Bannister unleashed a remarkable sprint at the precise moment that the front running Landy turned his head to see where Bannister was positioned. Landy lowered the record set by Bannister to 3.58.2 in June 1954, setting the stage for a titanic battle at the British Empire Games in Vancouver in August 1954. Unlike the modern world of elite track and field competition, where there are numerous opportunities for athletes to compete against one another in any given year, Bannister, Landy, and Santee challenged the 4-minute barrier independent of one another. Bannister's methods, born out of necessity, were in stark contrast to the usual training undertaken by mile runners at the time, where weekly totals of 70 miles (115 km) or more were common.īannister's two main rivals in the quest for the first four minute mile were Australian John Landy and American Wes Santee. He compressed his running workouts into sessions of 48 minutes per day, where he focused upon intense interval training to build a sustained finishing kick. To ensure that his studies were not compromised by his athletic training, Bannister ran during his one-hour lunch period. His achievement was all the more remarkable as he was concluding his medical studies and as a result, was under significant academic pressure throughout all of 19. The 4-minute mile had a particular allure due in part to the symmetry of four minutes, four laps, and 60 seconds or less for each.īannister was a 25-year-old medical student when he broke the 4-minute barrier. Many experts believed that the 4-minute barrier might be physiologically impossible to break, as there had been concerted efforts by a number of talented runners to break the mark in that period. The world record had stood at 4.01.2 minutes for nine years at the time of Bannister's achievement. Bannister's achievement was also notable because his daily training program never exceeded 48 minutes per day. ![]() ![]() On May 6, 1954, at Oxford, England, Roger Bannister became the first runner in history to run a one mile race in under 4 minutes, crossing the finish line in 3.59.4 minutes. ![]() ![]() ![]() The following table provides the version, build, GUID, and release dates for public releases of the Citrix ICA Client: Note: For 圆4 systems, check the same path in the Wow6432Node key.

![]() I was happy w mine and I’m sure to go back. He’s not sure if she was rushing to finish so that she could start on her next appointment, but he said his nails did not look as good as the first time. The first mani/pedi I had here, the polish lasted a good 3 wks! No chipping at the tips! Even the pedi withstood going in and out of shoes! I have to add that I did go in w my husband and he got a MANIcure ) on both occasions, he was very pleased with the mani the first time, but not so much this last time. They are very attentive, the décor is very pretty and the polishes are top of the line in a huge array of colors that are just so yummy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was the 2 nd time getting a mani/pedi here. Although, we thank them for trying to make it up to my hubby, he was not able to go back immediately due to his schedule, but the offer was much appreciated. ![]() We went back and both had mani/pedi’s, we were BOTH VERY pleased and will keep patronizing this lovely nail spa. I wanted to edit this review bc Utopia didn’t really deserve a blemish, even the smallest. I paid/tipped in cash anyway but I’m pretty sure I heard them telling another woman in there they accepted credit cards but tip had to be in cash which is pretty standard for a lot of salons in the area. ![]() They also offered me water in the beginning which I declined, but appreciated since most places don’t do that. The man who was there (manager? owner? he didn’t identify himself) was extremely sweet even helping me out of the pedicure chair when I was done. 00 and has lasted me over a week with only one teeny tiny chip on my pointer finger (albeit I did some CRAZY cleaning yesterday and was definitely at fault for this chip). The inside has a very serene spa like atmosphere and the seating from the pedicure chairs to manicure chairs to drying station are all very comfortable and tastefully done. I came in last Friday for a gel manicure/regular pedicure and was extremely impressed with the service. ![]() As a lifelong Western Queens resident I have tried almost every salon from Astoria to Maspeth & this has by far been one of my favorites. I am absolutely making this salon my new go to nail place in the area. Bertha took care of me but it seems that all the techs seem equally as qualified in their craft - there was a younger guy at the front desk who was knowledgable and professional really making it an overall experience - I’ll be back for sure! Prices I believe are normal for me since I pay this in the city - for queens customers it may be seen as a little overpriced but for the overall experience I think they are right on track. Truly a nice experience, I’m already telling my sister to forget her place in Brooklyn to come here, save travel time and walk away feeling like everything was perfect. I can’t wait to go back after I give birth to try the matte colors. Everything was sanitary which is the most important thing and I couldn’t be happier. They had a lot of gel color options, pedicure chairs so comfortable, offered a beverage, and just did such a great job on my mani pedi. From the moment I walked in they staff was so friendly, inviting, the place decorated very modern and clean (also important since my husband is a contractor I notice these things). Thanks to my husband calling a suggesting I just Unilocal to figure it out I did that and it lead me to Utopia and I’m so glad it did. Got in my car and thought where do I go now ( 9months pregnant). ![]() I walked in and out of a back of place I have in queens solely because in two years they are still carrying the same limited gel colors. My regular place is in the city where I work but as I’m about to give birth any minute now I needed to find a place near home where I wouldn’t be disappointed. I have gone to New Pink AT LEAST.When it comes to nail salons I can be a little specific - I’m looking for cleanliness, experience, options with colors, customer service and a pleasant experience and this place truly had it. I have yet to try out their mani/pedi services, BUT.- Their eyebrow waxing? The best I've ever had, and I have tried MANY different salons throughour the years. I was desperate for a manicure on December 23rd- big mistake on my behalf for waiting last minute to make an appointment but thank God New Pink had an available slot for me! They took me in for an. It's like they just rushed rubbing my foot with that. Didn't really put full service as an actual pedicure. They were rushing through the whole pedicure. It is a very small salon and we spent over an hour just waiting. I went here on a Sunday afternoon and there were only 2 employees working and 8 people waiting to get there nails done. I've been wanting to have those IG style nails for awhile, and the owner was so quick to help me decide which style to have. ![]() ![]() ![]() A dog leash (the emulsifying agent) connects the dog to its owner. However, if butter is added too quickly, the egg yolks get overwhelmed and can’t make that connection. I don’t want to get too technical but in short, hollandaise is an emulsion and the egg yolks are the emulsifying agent.Īn emulsifying agent connects two types on ingredients that normally don’t mix together (like oil and water) to make a perfectly smooth sauce. Reason 1 – Butter Added Too Quickly: It is extremely important to add the melted butter very slowly (just a thin stream) to the blender when it is running. There are two main reasons why this happens. Unappetizing compared to the smooth velvety sauce that hollandaise is supposed to be. You can tell when your sauce splits or breaks because it will separate and become watery and/or grainy and chunks. If the sauce thickens too much whisk in a tablespoon or so of water to thin it out. Then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and put it in a pot of really hot water to keep it warm until serving. ![]() Immediately after making the sauce, put it into a heat-proof container like a glass measuring cup. If absolutely needed, hollandaise can be made up to 1 hour ahead of time. Also, if it were to be made ahead of time and refrigerated, it would turn into a solid with a consistency similar to cream cheese. Making hollandaise too far ahead of time could cause it to break or separate. Hollandaise is best made immediately before serving. I’m all about the make ahead recipes but unfortunately this isn’t one of them. Helpful Hints Can you make blender hollandaise ahead of time? Once I put a couple spreads on my breakfast sandwich and it was AMAZING. You could serve hollandaise with steak and roasted vegetables or with a salmon dinner. It also goes well with tons of other foods such as vegetables, fish, other egg dishes, breakfast hash and steak.Īsparagus is a popular vegetable to eat with hollandaise and my personal favorite. Hollandaise is commonly poured over classic eggs Benedict. That is it! SO FAST! What does hollandaise sauce go with? Then slowly pour the butter into the blender while it is running which usually takes around 20-30 seconds. Heat butter in the microwave and let cool for 1 minute. This sauce could be put together in 2-3 minutes.Īll you have to do is blend a few ingredients for 10 seconds. The recipe says it takes 5 minutes to make this sauce because as a general rule, 5 minutes is the minimum amount of time I put on any of my recipes just to be realistic. Blender hollandaise is easy and fast… like really fast. It is so good and one of my favorite sauces of all time. The lemon perfectly balances out the richness of the buttery flavor. It tastes like a delicious creamy buttery sauce with a hint of lemon. Julia Child said that even an 8 year old could make this sauce.Hollandaise is very rich. I can only find them in my area at a higher end more boutique grocery. My suggestion for making this sauce is to use pasteurized eggs. I'm not sure if I agree that it cooks them enough. Some people would say the hot butter cooks the yolks enough to make them safe. Hollandaise is also delicious served with fish, of course it is, butter and lemon! Be sure to add in some fresh herbs! Is Blender Hollandaise Safe to Eat? Or use it on grilled or steamed asparagus for a perfect spring side dish. Try steaming a couple of artichokes and using this as a dip. I first learned how to make this easy sauce because I wanted an easy hollandaise for my Muffin Tin Eggs Benedict recipe. You can also add minced parsley and some chives. This is delicious with a bit of tarragon. Use cayenne instead of black pepper for a kickier sauce.Taste the sauce and add more lemon juice if you like. You may need to protect yourself with a towel during this part of the operation if the hot butter is spattering. Stop when you get to the fat solids at the bottom of the pan, you don't want those in your sauce. With the blender running, remove the lid, or if your blender has one of those pour spouts, open that, then slowly, slowly pour in the butter.Cover the blender and turn it on full speed for ONLY TWO SECONDS.In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter until it's foamy.Put the eggs, salt, pepper, and part of the lemon juice into your blender.As the French call it, your "mise en place." This recipe goes fast so have everything ready. ![]() ![]() These attachable controller devices offer additional buttons that seamlessly integrate with your existing remote, providing convenient control over multiple devices. SideClick remotes are new model attachment controllers, we can simply connect the original remote control to add more functionalities. While the availability of products for this particular type of streaming device may be limited, I have handpicked the top three options currently available in the market to share with you. Best universal remote for Google Chromecast So, the same featured controller should be selected in order that to be compatible with your device. ![]() Google Chromecast’s original remote is not an IR, but it works with the device Via WiFi-Direct technology. Some of them are capable to control your Google TV too. If you’re seeking a replacement remote for your Google Chromecast with the same features, I’ve discovered some excellent options that fit your budget. Though the original remote is always the best because it is a compact and user-friendly device designed to enhance your streaming experience, it effortlessly controls your Chromecast, browses through apps, adjusts volume, and plays or pauses content with just a few clicks. While the Fire TV Cube isn’t overpriced at $140, we ultimately find it to be a bit too specialized compared to the meat-and-potatoes value boasted by our picks, especially considering that every major streaming device includes a voice remote that’s only marginally less convenient than the hands-free functionality offered here.Are you searching for the best universal remote for Google Chromecast? I am sure that you have landed at the correct spot. And much like Amazon’s other media devices, the new Cube still puts Prime Video content at the forefront. While its ability to integrate set-top-box functions into the realm of voice control may appeal to Alexa diehards, many modern cable/satellite remotes already include voice search functionality. The Cube was always a bit more complex than the average streaming stick, and the third-generation model stretches the definition a bit further, adding HDMI pass-through (to allow Alexa integration with a separate source device) and Wi-Fi 6E compatibility to its already touted hands-free operation. In 2022, Amazon revamped its hands-free Fire TV Cube, and it continues to occupy an odd spot amongst the panoply of media streaming devices. This is the best Apple TV device yet, but its flag is still firmly planted in Camp Apple, and our picks will serve the average buyer better at less expense. Even the more affordable $130 version is still significantly more expensive than our picks, and despite the slick appeal of the Apple TV interface and its interrelated services, the box is not abundantly more powerful (where streaming is concerned) than something like the Roku Ultra. As usual, the latest Apple TV 4K impressed us with its zippy processing and intuitive user interface, but it still puts Apple’s ecosystem of content at the forefront-which is a boon for hardcore Apple users, but less desirable for folks who aren’t subscribed to services like Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Music. ![]() And both are powered by the same A15 bionic chip found in some of Apple’s phones and earbuds. Both boxes support 4K resolution, can handle Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos content, and include the newer Siri-based remote control with a standard directional keypad. Without improvements to the Ultra’s processing components, the more affordable Streaming Stick 4K and 4K+ are still more practical, and holistically we prefer the latest Chromecast experience to what Roku offers.Īpple released two third-generation Apple TV 4K boxes in 2022: A $130 WiFi-only version with 64 GB storage and a $150 version with 128 GB storage and an ethernet (LAN) port. Beyond that, the new Ultra doesn’t significantly upgrade or change the user experience, and we still think this box is overkill for most people-unless you really need features like an Ethernet (LAN) port and expandable storage. The Voice Remote Pro complements the Roku Ultra handsomely: It has a built-in rechargeable battery (though it uses Micro-USB and not USB-C), a microphone that can be always-on or push-to-talk, two buttons you can program to be custom shortcuts, a remote finder, and a private listening mode with a headphone jack. However, the new Roku Ultra (which is a box, not an HDMI stick) comes bundled with Roku’s Voice Remote Pro for $100. Our testing revealed that the device itself is just a refresh of the 2020 version, delivering essentially the same hardware and processing as the older model. In 2022, Roku released a new Roku Ultra-sort of. ![]() ![]() ![]() “A kitten is the delight of a household.“A kitten is in the animal world what a rosebud is in the garden.” – Robert Southey.“Kittens are angels with whiskers.” – Alexis Flora Hope.“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.” – Leonardo da Vinci.“No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.” – Abraham Lincoln.There’s nothing like the relationship you have with your feline friend, and these quotes sum it up perfectly.
