![]() ![]() When your cell phone finds the device, it will show “Callpod Dragon” on the screen. The next step is to turn on the Bluetooth in your cell phone and have it search for devices (directions can be found in your cell phone’s user manual). When you power on the headset, it automatically goes into the discoverable state as you can easily see by the alternating red and blue lights flashing on the device. Most of the time you must power on the device and then press some series of buttons to get the device into what is called “discoverable” mode so the cell phone can find it. So the Dragon may not be for everyone.Īs with any Bluetooth headset, pairing the device with your cell phone is the first step that you must take before you can use the device. As is the case with all of these devices, the fit can, and does, vary with the individual. In some cases it flopped out of the ear during normal everyday movements. Yet a few people had trouble getting the device to stay in place. The adjustable ear loop and the padded ear bud made the Dragon comfortable for most of our testers. At first this took a little trial and error, but adjusting it properly became second nature for most of our testers. The ear piece must be properly adjusted so that the microphone is in the right place to pick up the voice. The soft ear bud is at a slight angle to fit comfortably into the ear. It can also slide up and down and can accommodate either left and right ear. This ear wrap can rotate 180 degrees around. The over-the-ear ear loop is made of metal and rubber and wraps around the ear. ![]() Weighing in at 0.9 oz (25.5 g), it is light enough to be worn for hours at a time.įigure 3: The Dragon V2 headset in black chrome.įigure 4 shows the back of the Dragon device itself. The model that we reviewed, as shown in Figure 3, is the black chrome. It comes in titanium silver, black chrome, and an all-black carbon fiber model. It is a circular disk shaped device that is reminiscent of a hockey puck. The Callpod Dragon V2 bucks both of these trends. Many of the newer Bluetooth headsets are tiny rectangular devices and many have a microphone that protrudes toward the mouth of the user. We wish that other manufacturers follow Callpod’s lead here by including a little carrying case when their products contain multiple small parts like this one.įigure 1: The Dragon V2 headset in the box. The pouch makes a good carrying case and provides a way to keep all the small components together. There is also an extra slightly larger ear tip and a sturdy black nylon pouch included. As shown in Figure 2, all of these components are included with the headset. The USB cable and the car charger can be used for charging on the go. The USB cable can also be attached to the wall-outlet charger for charging when a computer is not available. The USB cable can be hooked directly to the headset and to a computer for charging. There are three ways to charge the Dragon and all are included in the package. When we opened the box, we were presented with a pleasant surprise. These exciting features made us anxious to take a closer look.Īs shown in Figure 1, the Dragon V2’s come in a sturdy clear plastic cube. We found that it also has some unique features such as Bluetooth Class 1 certification, the ability to hook up to other Dragon V2’s to be used as walkie-talkies, and the ability to pair with more than one device at a time. So when the Callpod’s Dragon V2 headset arrived for our review, we were amazed that this headset was actually larger than most. Every time we look at Bluetooth headsets, they seem to be getting smaller and smaller. ![]()

![]() On a 50mm lens, it would make for an f/550 aperture. This size helps to visualize the effect better. Keep in mind that 90 micrometres is much smaller than what you’d find in any lens. ![]() In this example, a red laser was projected onto a sensor through a 90-micrometre aperture. We’ll come back to the exact numbers, but first, let’s see what happens when light passes through a slit. This implies that even though light doesn’t diffract much, the effects are noticeable. So tiny in fact, that their size is often only one magnitude larger than the wavelength of visible light. So, light doesn’t bend excessively- but it can still cause issues. This even applies at narrow settings, such as f/32. In photography, the size of the aperture slit is much larger than the wavelength of light. When the light goes through a slit, it diffracts. For us, photographers, it’s the diffraction of light that matters. But diffraction occurs in three-dimensional situations, too. Original image from Wikipedia Diffraction of Light This pattern, shown in orange, is called the Airy pattern. Then, gradually towards the edges of the river, the level of interference decreases. They are most intensive in the middle, in front of the slit itself. We observe the strength of waves at the long purple line. You can see a slit, comparable in size to the water’s wavelength. The most spectacular example is diffraction in water. This continues until the pattern becomes indistinguishable. ![]() Then, there are repeated additions and cancellations, decreasing in amplitude outwards. In the middle, there’s a very strong add-up of waves. If we observe these additions and cancellations along a line parallel to the slit, we get a pattern. They cancel each other at some places while adding up at others. The waves then interfere, which results in differences in the strength of waves. The idea of circularly spreading waves and their physical explanation is called the Huygens principle. ![]() The degree of this varies, depending on the size of the slit. All along this line, the new waves begin to spread out in different directions. We model this change in behaviour as if new waves were created in the line of the slit. If the opening is comparable to the wave length, diffraction will occur at a much larger relative scale. Depending on the size of the slit compared to the wavelength, this bending can vary in size. (You will apply it later to the aperture opening in your camera.) The barrier can be a slit, or it can be a single object. When waves meet a barrier on their way, their behaviour changes. You encounter it all the time, even if it doesn’t catch your attention. You can observe it in liquids, soundwaves and light.

If living in favorable conditions they can each produce a calf every 2.5 to four years. Thanks to Marc Cronje, independent wildlife field guide, for use of his video.įemale white rhinos reach maturity by 6 to 7 years old, the black rhino female at about 4 years. Both African rhinoceros species protect their skin with mud. Also note the water line and mud on their bodies. These rhino have square mouths perfect for grazing on grass they are white rhinos. Ironically, the oxpecker birds that live with the rhinos and eat their parasites contribute to the open sores by continually aggravating the lesions so they cannot heal. They are very susceptible to a type of parasite that is carried by flies that feed on the skin causing weeping sores usually on the base of the neck and shoulders. Less easy to spot is the difference in their ear shapes, which is a little pointier on the white rhino and a little rounder on the black.įilariasis: Unfortunately for the animal, if you spot bloody or oozing lesions on its body, it is probably a black rhino. The black rhino does not have the hump and their backs are concave. The white rhino’s head is bigger and they have a huge muscle that forms a hump at their back to hold it up. All spend much of the daytime wallowing in mud as protection for their sensitive skin, but the Asian species also swim, in fact the greater one horned or Indian rhino is considered semi-aquatic. The Asian species live in wetter habitats, subtropical to tropical forests and grasslands, while the African rhinoceros species prefer dryer savannah or woodland ranges. ![]() They fight with their horns, impaling their opponents while Asian rhinoceros fight with their teeth. The two species of African and three species of Asian rhinoceros all share many of the same characteristics, however, African rhinos are more aggressive than their Asian cousins.

![]() ![]() ![]() It basically is a water tank, with a pump to pressurize it, and a hose with a shower head, which allows you to carry on any of your ACS’s (Classic, Forged or Tonneau), a compact and useful water tank or “road shower”. We also had the chance to finally see the Hydro Pod, this is Leitner’s newest accessory. ![]() To make things even better, this truck bed rack was on a 5 feet truck bed of a Taco, with a Retrax retractable tonneau cover, and it had an FSR hardshell rooftop tent on top of it. Fortunately, our friends from Leitner had one on display on the back of a Toyota Tacoma.įor those who don’t know, the ACS Tonneau is an Active Cargo System which fits perfectly fine on the bed of a truck, allowing you at the same time to keep on it a retractable tonneau bed cover, such as the Retrax PowertraxPRO XR. Well, I hadn’t yet seen the ACS Tonneauas it’s quite new. This is perhaps one of my favorite, if not my favorite truck bed rack. The smart and innovative designs make a huge difference. We love Leitner Designs and their truck bed systems. And boy, that was one nice ride.įrom left to right: Ignacio Roses, Karsten Koberg, Nathan Hendrix & Gianluca Boncompagni Leitner Designs ACS Tonneau & Hydro Pod We also had a chance to check out the iKamper Skycamp 2.0 as well as the Skycamp Mini, which was on the truck bed of one of the vehicles owned by the YouTuber named Last Line Of Defense. Useful huh?Ĭertainly, a product that will make a splash in the market and help you and your friends or family cook delicious meals anywhere. It also includes a propane adaptor for one of the legs, and the top of the tripod works also as a tripod for cameras. The iKamper Disco Cooking System also comes with a wooden board that can help to support drinks, food or cooking utensils, and a chain system to leave the plate hanging is you don’t want to heat it with a gas/propane flame. That plate is made of cast iron, the best in the market, and it can be very, very easily cleaned. You can then attach the metal disc or plate on top. Basically, the three legs can be pulled out into different heights, and they keep their balance on any terrain really well thanks to the rubber feet. Similar to the Tembo Tusk, the Disco comes with a metal tripod base, it has different height options for you to set up. This great product is pretty much a portable outdoor cooking system, very lightweight, fairly compact, easy to set up and take down, but most importantly: allows you to cook many different types of foods in a clean and easy manner. Well, we knew iKamper was going to be showcasing a new product at the Expo, and it was the Disco. If you have any comments of your own, leave them below, we’d love to hear them! ![]() Once again, this is not us grading or thinking one thing is better than the other, simply it’s the opinion of our team, and ourselves trying to give you a review of what we saw and learnt. In this short article, I’ll make a recap of what really caught the eye of the Off Road Tents staff at the Expo. What Caught Our Eyes At The Overland Expo West 2021 That said, let’s jump into what matters: the Expo. We had to Uber our way there and back, but it was fine, as the park wasn’t far from the parking lots of the University. It happens, hopefully next year they’ll have more shuttles. Too many people, and the shuttles weren’t enough. Organization for Saturday wasn’t as great, because it was packed. On top of that, before we got on the shuttle, there were a few volunteers helping scanning QR codes to make sure your tickets were all good, and once at the event it was fairly quick to do the line, get the stamp or bracelet, and go in. I want to give a kudos to the organizers of the event, because we were able to just park our vehicle in the NAU (Northern Arizona University) campus and then a shuttle took us to the Fort Tuthill Park, and back to our parking lot.įriday wasn’t as packed, so getting to the Expo and back was quite easy. We got there around Friday at 2 pm, which was already a bit late all things considered. Why? Simple, the place is pretty big and there’s a lot to see! Were you able to go? If you did, tell us what booth and which products stood out the most for you in the comment section below.Īs to us, well, we had a 3-day pass and it was totally worth it. This year we didn’t have a stand or booth, but it was a great opportunity for all of us to roam around, meet with brands we already carry, meet customers and other passionate overlanders, as well as being able to explore new booths and learn as much as we could from new products and other businesses. Almost the whole Off Road Tents team made it there, but we had to leave a couple back home to keep the business going. We had the chance to attend to the Overland Expo West this past weekend from the 24 th to the 26 th of September of 2021, in Flagstaff Arizona. Overland Expo West 2021: The Off Road Tents Team Experience ![]() ![]() In the Ganesha Education University library information system, there is a database stored on the information system server. As a result, the new synchronization technique was able to improve the performance of data backup and computer security system. The easiest aspect of value to assess is replacement for restoring the data from changes only and processing the correct information. The policy is to be able to perform a full backup only at first as a one time from obtaining a copy of the data. This paper aimed to define computer data backup policies of the Incremental backup by using Unison synchronization as a file-synchronization tool and load balancing file synchronization management (LFSM) for traffic management. The security policy must apply data stored in a computer system as well as information transfer a network. Companies need workers to plan, use and manage the database system aspects of security. The popularity and importance of data communication has produced a strong demand in all sectors job for people with more computer networking expertise. Computer networks are being used to offer instantaneous access to information in online libraries around the world. We conducted a series of experiments that showed that the backup copy corresponds to the current state of the system.ĭata communication and computer networks have enormously grown in every aspect of businesses. The conformity of the backup data obtained as a result of performing a reverse backup to the current state of the system is considered to be the achievement of the goal. The main purpose of the software tool is to implement the method of reverse incremental backup to prevent information loss. A functional model, architecture and interface of the software tool have been designed. We performed a comparative analysis based on the selected criteria to reveal that the most appropriate method of data backup is reverse incremental backup. We identified the following criteria to determine the most appropriate backup method: backup speed, restore speed, backup repository, reliability, network workload, redundancy. ![]() ![]() We discussed the main methods of data backup such as full backup, incremental backup, differential backup, reverse incremental backup and synthetic backup. The purpose of the study is to select the most appropriate method of data backup and develop a software tool based on it. The most effective way to protect data from loss is backup. Data loss as a result of threats or natural disasters can lead not only to huge financial losses, but also damage the reputation of the company. ![]() ![]() Some Rumors even suggest that the new Grand Theft Auto game will be set in the new modern-day Vice City and not in the 80s. Gamers will be able to actively switch between characters just like in GTA 5. This GTA game might be the first game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise to feature a female protagonist for the first time. ![]() Their story is going to be heavily inspired by the Great Depression era bankrupting couple Bonnie and Clyde. GTA 6 Storyline & CharactersĪs of now, there is no official information about the Storyline and Characters in GTA 6 However, according to the Leaks Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature two different characters that are going to be named Jason and Lucia. After Rockstar received tons of hateful reviews about their GTA Trilogy remastered edition the production for GTA 4 as well as Red Dead Redemption remasters are also kept on hold for the foreseeable future due to this statement. This unmistakably shows how seriously the creators take the GTA series. ![]() So we firmly believe that GTA 6 could be released in the summer or fall of 2024.Īt the end of 2022, Rockstar Games released a public announcement announcing that they were devoting the entirety of their efforts to the creation of Grand Theft Auto 6. However, Take-Two Interactive (parent company of Rockstar Games) recently stated that they will make up to $1 Billion dollars by the end of 2024, and the only game that could generate such a high amount for a game publishing company is definitely GTA 6. GTA 6 Release DateĪs we stated above that the developers have not announced an official Release Date for the game but According to a report by Bloomberg that was published back in June 2022, GTA 6 was still 2 years away from release.

It took 3 months before the transmission came in and was fixed." I did drive it some more but then second gear went out completely. They kept it for a couple weeks and then said they would order a Warrenty replacement but I could take the car till it came in. ![]() Two days after my last visit it would no longer go into 4th gear at all. "Clutch started not always going into gearing took it to two dealerships over two months and they said they couldn't replicate the problem. are supposed to perform a thorough point check on everything (I get the status sheets), so how did they miss the fact that the clutch was going to need a replacement soon?" So why was this not detected at the previous oil change? Service depts. "When I stopped in for my regular oil change one time, I was notified that, had I driven very much further, the clutch would have gone out, causing me to be at risk for an accident. I took the car back where I bought it and they replaced the clutch." I looked online and found this was a warranty recall. "When I bought the car, I realized the gears were slipping. "Chatter & vibration on take off and 1-2 shift" "The car would stutter when starting up but was fine after shifting into second gear." "Car started hesitating when starting to move after coming to a stop. It would shutter when ever I accelerated." "Within 2 weeks of driving it off the lot i had transmission problems. The slippage has been resolved with that mechanical correction/part replacement." After 500 miles without the software update correcting the slippage, Ford did replace a clutch. Ford's first attempt to correct was a software update. "Car would jerk and shutter during the 1-2 shift." "The dual clutch transmission continues to have problems after replacement with chatter, sputter" I was told by a Ford Representative that this problem will happen again and not to drive the car on long trips" "This is the second transmission problem with this car, but despite this we like the car and are happy with it" And through 3 brutal Chicago winters, it always starts for me and it still has the original battery." Although the shifting was flakey the car always worked. So just looking at it you would think it is just a regular automatic transmission. My car has a six speed manual transmission which is shifted automatically by a computer. They replaced the clutch and reprogrammed, the computer. I took it in and officially complained about the flakey shifting, a week before the 3 year warranty ran out. It aways worked, but not as well as it should. "Shifting was flakey, particularly in Chicago heavy traffic. Ford replaced the clutch assembly under warranty." "Vehicle is an automatic with dual clutch system. Three months later they replaced the clutch again and this one is now failing." One week later, I took it back and they replaced the clutch. "Flaw from design and Ford bought back the care in 2019" ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to use Acronis Cloud, you’ll pay a yearly subscription ranging from £62.99/$89.99 for one computer and 500 GB of cloud storage to £149.99/$209.99 for five computers and 1TB storage. Pricing starts at £34.99/$49.99 per year per computer, but that doesn’t include cloud storage. From here, you can also back up external disks, a mobile device to your Mac, or your social media accounts to Acronis Cloud.Ĭlick on the settings icon and you can schedule regular backups, exclude files, encrypt backups or delete old backups. ![]() If you don’t want to create an image of your entire Mac, click on the source box to choose files and folders to back up. Click the Destination button to choose whether to back up to Acronis Cloud, a local drive or a NAS box. The first time you open it, your Mac is selected as the source. ![]() Its interface is about as straightforward and friendly as they come. It also allows you to create what it calls a Survival Kit – a bootable disk with all your system, or a partition, and file backup.Ĭyber Protect Home Office is very straightforward to use. In addition to the security features, Cyber Protect Home Office now allows you to backup Office 365 files to Acronis Cloud, clone your startup disk (either a bootable clone or a compressed image), and synchronise files locally or with cloud storage. It will scan existing data for malware, monitor files you interact with online, detect ransomware and cryptojacking attacks, and perform assessments of the vulnerability of your data to being compromised. If backing up files is one part of the data protection equation, then the other is protecting those files, wherever they reside, from cyber-attack, and that’s what Cyber Protect Home Office is designed to do. The main reason for the name change from True Image, which was chosen to show that the backup tool creates a ‘true image’ of the disk it’s backing up, is that it now goes beyond just backing up your disk. You’ll need to set up an account with Acronis to use its, but you can give Cyber Protect Home Office a spin without signing up for its paid-for service or even providing payment details, by using the free trial to back up to a local drive or network disk. The latter makes it good option for anyone with a NAS that doesn’t support Apple’s Time Machine. It supports backing up your data to a local disk, Acronis’ own cloud-based service, or a network-attached storage device. Our reviews of tools here that create bootable clones should be read in that context.Īcronis is a name well known in the Windows world, but less so to Mac users.Ĭyber Protect Home Office is the new name for Acronis True Image and is its personal backup solution. There is no single solution to the problem, currently. As one developer told us, “it’s a bit hit and miss”. The net result is that, depending on which version of macOS you’re running and whether you have an Intel or Apple silicon Mac, bootable clones don’t always work. That means that the old way of creating bootable clones no longer works and developers have had to find ways to work with and around Apple’s new way of doing things. Copies of the Signed System Volume are not bootable without a cryptographic seal applied by Apple. One example of this is the introduction of the Signed System Volume in Big Sur. One of the consequences of those changes is that is harder for third-party applications that need deep access to the system to work. However, over the last few versions of macOS Apple has been making changes to make it more secure. Some apps are focused on creating clones of your hard drive and offer incremental backup as an extra feature. Apple’s own Time Machine, which is included with macOS, is an example of this kind of solution. Many options are focused solely on making backing up your Mac regularly as easy as as possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since Dexron 3 is used in older applications and Dexron 6 is “backwards compatible” GM suggests that you can use Dexron 6 in most Dexron 3 applications.ĭepending on your situation, it would be best to use one or the other in your transmission. In many cases, yes, Dexron 6 can be mixed with Dexron 3. Since Dexron 6 is backwards compatible, you can use it in Dexron 3 applications.ĭexron 6 has a lower fluid viscosity than Dexron 3, but can be used in Dexron 3 applications. Dexron 6 has more up to date fluid properties which allows for a longer fluid life and is much better at dealing with higher temperatures. The main difference between Dexron 6 and Dexron 3 is that Dexron 6 is classified as a synthetic fluid and Dexron 3 is not. What Is The Difference Between Dexron 3 and Dexron 6? The below transmission fluid chart shows how long transmissions last when fluid reaches various temperatures. This common range is best for longevity of both your transmission fluid and transmission itself. Like all transmission fluids, Dexron 6 is best when it’s temperature is between 160-200 degrees F. In most cases, reading the transmission dipstick will give you and idea how much fluid you need when you do routine maintenance. The amount of Dexron 6 transmission fluid needed for your application varies, so it is best to consult your owner’s manual. GM started to use Dexron 6 in factory vehicles starting in the 2006 model year. What Year Did Dexron 6 Come Out?ĭexron 6 transmission fluid was introduced in 2005 as Dexron VI and replaced its predecessor, Dexron 3. What Transmission Fluid Replaced Dexron 6?ĭexron VI is still very common in many applications, General Motors has updated the specifications since its inception with Dexron ULV and Dexron HP. If you are in a pinch and can’t wait for factory recommended Ac Delco Dex 6, you can always go to your local auto parts store to find a suitable aftermarket replacement. If you cannot find Ac Delco Dex VI, there are plenty of aftermarket fluid manufactures who offer Dexron 6 that meet factory specifications. Since all Ac Delco is factory specified and is still supported by General Motors, it is the most recommended Dexron 6 transmission fluid. In our opinion, the best Dexron 6 transmission fluid is AC Delco.
