![]() ![]() Using computational modeling, The Ocean Cleanup is able to determine where hotspots - areas made up of higher concentrations of garbage that are formed by the circulating currents in the patch - are, and then place cleanup systems in these locations. Through active propulsion, a slow forward speed is maintained with the system. The system is made up of a long U-shaped barrier that directs the plastic into a retention zone at its far end. First, they create artificial coastlines where there are none. The solution is designed to concentrate the plastic, which then allows them to collect and remove large quantities. The nonprofit goes into detail as to how System 002 works. The Ocean Cleanup is focused on cleaning up 90% of the floating plastic pollution in the ocean and is developing and scaling technologies to try to achieve this goal. Researchers from The Ocean Cleanup have found that the patch is over 50 years old, and it includes items and fragments of items such as toothbrushes, water bottles, cell phones, plastic bags, and more. Due to the patch being in a widely dispersed area and consists mostly of microscopic particles (microplastics) in the upper water column, this means there’s low density that prevents the patch from being detected by satellite imagery or even casual boaters or divers in the area. The Western Garbage Patch extends east from Japan to the Hawaiian Island. The Eastern Garbage Patch is located between Hawaii and California. ![]() The patch is so big that it’s divided into two areas. The patch was first mentioned in a 1988 paper published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) after researchers measured neustonic plastic in the North Pacific Ocean and found high concentrations of marine debris growing in areas governed by ocean currents. The collection of plastic and floating trash originates from continents bordering the Pacific Rim - Asia, North, and South America. It’s an actual patch of garbage mixed with marine debris particles located in the center of the North Pacific Ocean. Some History On The Great Pacific Garbage PatchĪlso known as the Pacific Trash Vortex, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is exactly what you envision, only it’s not that visible. ![]() The video below captures just a few special moments of that celebration. In celebration of this milestone, a marine parade was coordinated to welcome the offshore crew in Victoria, BC, Canada. It officially announced that after the successful completion of its “ System 002” test campaign, The Ocean Cleanup achieved proof of technology and was ready to return to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to begin cleanup. The Ocean Cleanup shared some good news in October. ![]()

While I do not see any of the audiophiles I know trading in their carefully crafted home speaker systems for a portable Bluetooth speaker, it is nice to see manufacturers paying attention to sound quality and not just the number of features that can be listed on the product's packaging. Sound quality usually suffers, as does output level. These speakers need to include a Bluetooth receiver, battery, and amplifier, which leaves little room for drivers and their needed enclosure volume. This demand has resulted in more and more "micro" sized speakers. The demand for portable Bluetooth speakers remains high, especially for smaller ones that can be easily packed for travel. The Powercard is essentially a themed external battery pack for your mobile phone or tablet.Bluetooth speakers have been a hot item for the past couple of years.

Lastly, task lights often make use of a dimmer. These days, most people go with LED bulbs because they produce more lumens with less wattage, meaning they are more energy-efficient than halogen bulbs. These bulbs are best because they produce a bright, focused light. However, they also need a light that doesn’t produce much if any glare as older people can be affected by this as well. An older person requires a better, more focused light for general reading than someone who is younger with better eyesight. Your age and eyesight are also a factor with task lighting. Similarly, if you are working in the kitchen, you will need powerful lighting to make sure you can see everything you are doing. If you’re planning to read or write in a book, the light will need to be bright so that you can easily make out the words on each page. The strength of the task light depends on what you are doing. Because of this, task lighting should be quite bright but not too glary for the eyes - the lighting needs to find a balance. The main purpose of task lighting is to reduce the strain on your eyes for things such as reading, writing or studying. As the desk lamp is designed to light up the desk and nothing else, it is considered a task light. Instead of lighting the whole room, it has a specific task to accomplish.įor example, if you require light for your desk and don’t want to use the main lights, you likely have a desk lamp at the ready. Task lighting is for more specific purposes than ambient lighting. It is at these times, as well as others, where task and accent lights are most commonly used. ![]() On the other hand, there are times when you are confined to a small room with little space and do not require the entire room to be well lit. Ambient lights are almost always activated before the task and accent lights as the primary means for lighting a room, When you walk into a room, consider what is the first light switch you look for?Ĭhances are that this light switch is connected to the main ambient light. However, there are also times when these lights are considered task lights. This is especially true if using one will light up much of the room. Table and floor lamps can also contribute to a room’s ambient lighting. Lights such as chandeliers, track lights, pot lights, among others, help create a room’s ambient lighting. The level of ambient lighting will dictate whether a room is bright, homey, darker or more relaxed.Īmbient lights most commonly hang from the ceiling. The key lights you use to light up the room can usually be included within this lighting category.Īmbient light also sets the tone for the room. With this type of light you define two colors, the ambient one and the diffuse one.Ambient lighting is also commonly known as general lighting.Īmbient, or general lighting, dominates the lighting landscape of each room. The color will then depend on them but also of the light they receive.Īll the example are done with a point light, placed at the position (350, 400, 800) Specular color :Specular color is the color of the light of a specular reflection (specular reflection is the type of reflection that is characteristic of light reflected from a shiny surface).Īll object material can so define these 4 parameters. It is perceived as the color of the object itself rather than a reflection of the light.Įmissive color : This is the self-illumination color an object has. It is that essential color that the object reveals under pure white light. This color is what the object reflects when illuminated by ambient light rather than direct light.ĭiffuse color :Diffuse color is the most instinctive meaning of the color of an object. Here are the definitions (found on the web.) :Īmbient color : Ambient color is the color of an object where it is in shadow. ![]() In this post I will give you the definitions and show you some example for those who - like me - requires some visual example to understand better. When you defines a material in Ogre or in 3D engines in general, you can play with at least four differents parameters : Ambient color, diffuse color, emissive color and specular color. ![]() ![]() ![]() 21.20 18.02 ( Save 15) Fourty Other F Word Funny 40 Years Old 40th Birthd T-Shirt. 22.70 19.30 ( Save 15) funny hippo word art T-Shirt. 21.20 18.02 ( Save 15) Good Moms Say Bad Words Funny Joke Sarcastic T-Shirt.

Considerable work has been undertaken on wave energy assessment in several areas of the European coastline and in others regions around the world. A maps of the global wave energy resources have been published earlier in, based on the WorldWaves data. Over the last fifteen years, several attempts have been made to map the offshore wave energy resource and to develop packages that enable the nearshore wave energy resource to be calculated. Recent work demonstrated that the reduction of the technically usable resource is not that significant. Shoreline devices are more convenient from the point of view of construction, access, maintenance, and grid connection, even if available energy at the shoreline is lower. Deep water is more profitable to install devices, even if installation costs rise. WECs can be located offshore or nearshore. Installation success strongly depends on the development of wave energy converters (WECs) and their implications for marine ecosystems. Wave energy is renewable, never-ending, and native resource. Considering that the majority of the population is centralized near the coast, tapping offshore wave power appears to be quite logical. Even though wave energy remains largely unknown in most of the country as a real energy alternative, this new and renewable energy shows many advantages. With a very large increase in energy demand, the Brazilian government was forced to attract the private sector in order for the electricity sector to have the investment capital to develop quickly. The energy market, and notably the electricity market, changed radically during the 1990s, to become a free and open market, which was attractive to private companies. Additionally, the Amazon River and its tributaries offer abundant potential for hydropower. A dry, sunny climate in the central area of the country provides an opportunity for the solar sector to be developed, and windy coasts, especially in the southeast, allow for great wind power potential. One of the great advantages for energy potential comes from having several different climate zones. Supplementary considerations are drawn on realistic perspectives for wave energy converters installations.īrazil has the largest electricity market in South America. The mean wave power of 20 m isobaths is 11.43 kW/m. The nearshore energetic patterns were studied by means of a numerical coastal propagation model (Mike21 SW). ![]() ![]() The annual offshore wave power was found to be equal to 15.25 kW/m, the bulk of which is provided by southeastern waves. This work studied the potential wave energy along the north-central coasts of Santa Catarina, in Southern Brazil, by analysis of the hindcast data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Assessment of wave energy resources is needed along the coastline. Brazil's Santa Catarina state government is starting a clean energy program in the state, which is expected to bring more than 1 GW of capacity. The potential for wind and wave energy is very large. Apart from biomass, no other renewable energy sources, besides hydroelectricity, play a relevant role in the energy mix. Brazil has one of the largest electricity markets in South America, which needs to add 6000 MW of capacity every year in order to satisfy growing the demand from an increasing and more prosperous population. ![]() ![]() ![]() Single-Player Server: Tynker enables kids to create mods and deploy them to a single-player server in their Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition).They can unleash their creativity by drawing, recoloring, or redesigning various in-game assets and deploying them as resource packs in Minecraft.

KeePassXC is a port of KeePassX, which in turn is a port of KeePass Password Safe. KeePassXC also has KeePassHTTP support for PassIFox in Mozilla Firefox, chromeIPass in Google Chrome or Chromium, and passafari in Safari. Other features include auto-type, Twofish encryption, YubiKey challenge-response, TOTP generation, CSV import, command-line interface, DEP and ASLR hardening, stand-alone password and passphrase generator, password strength meter, and more. You need to set a master password, something you won't forget or maybe have written down. Downloading KeePass for Mac from the developers website was possible when we last checked. They are easy to set up, but you can get lost in the options, including the expiration date, icons, properties, and more. Thank you for using our Mac software library. Multiple databases are supported as well as multiple groupings within each database. On the first startup, you will need to create a database named whatever you like. We've listed the best business password managers.KeePassXC is a community fork of KeePassX to extend and improve it with new features and bug fixes. We recommend KeePassXC as a tool for power users who want to handle every aspect of their own secure personal data management, particularly those who work on Linux, but most people will find KeePassXC inconvenient compared to cloud-based password managers. KeePassXC gives you complete control over your passwords by storing everything in a secure local file instead of on a remote server, and its autofill function is useful – but the interface is tricky and KeePassXC misses features elsewhere. KeePassXC is more difficult to use than commercial alternatives like 1Password (opens in new tab) and LastPass (opens in new tab), but it's not targeted at the casual user. We'd still recommend the native KeePassXC client over KeePass if you primarily work on Linux (opens in new tab), as it integrates more cleanly with the operating system. KeePass offers more options and control than KeePassXC, particularly on Windows, so if you plan to use Windows more often, we suggest you check it out. (Image credit: KeePassXC) KeePassXC: The competitionĭevelopment of KeePassXC began because KeePass was only available for Windows, but now that KeePass is installable on other desktop platforms using Mono, KeePass is a legitimate choice for those who need a cross-platform password manager. ![]() In addition, it has certain built-in extra capabilities, such as password generation, and the capacity to add third-party plug-ins and tools. This app is basically an encrypted database of passwords, which comes in two versions: portable and installable. KeePassXC has a quick start guide and a user manual in PDF format. KeepassX is probably the best password manager for Mac that is open source and for free. You can also send self-destructing messages and easily share passwords in other tools. Other apps include breach detection, weak password checking, options to store sensitive data and whitelisting tools. The interface is ugly when compared to many others, and you don't get the various template and categorization options that are normal elsewhere. This core functionality is fine, but KeePassXC doesn't have the resources behind it that you'll find from the big commercial apps – and it shows. Running Keepass under the Mono Framework: Open terminal and switch directories to /applications/keepass (cd /d applications/keepass) Type Mono keepass.exe. A password generator with customizable rules can help you create strong passwords. Extract the binaries into a folder titled Keepass in the application directory. You can add attributes and attachments and choose browser integration and auto-typing settings. Password entries can be organized into groups, and each password entry has options for URL, expiry data, notes, and icon. KeePassXC's interface isn't the most modern, but it's designed for functionality. KeePassXC doesn't have in-built syncing of database (opens in new tab) files across devices, but as the files are fully encrypted and self-contained, you can sync them on platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox without fear of anyone accessing the data without the master password.
