![]() Maine Farmland Trust will work with low-income farmers on access to low-interest capital for land purchase or business operations, farm upgrades and infrastructure investments that promote viability, technical assistance in the areas of real estate and business planning, and more.These farms will serve as resource hubs by sharing infrastructure (tiller, lawn tractor, wash and pack, cooler storage, etc.) with other urban farmers and gardeners in their prospective neighborhoods. Workin’ Rootz will work to increase access to land and capacity-building at five urban farms/community market gardens in Detroit which include Workin’ Roots Farm, Love n’ Labor, Foster Patch Community Garden, Love Earth Herbal, and Urban Bush Sistahs.Additionally, this project will work to provide targeted technical assistance to Tribal producers in developing comprehensive farm and food business plans, including conservation plans to support expanded production and access to the full suite of USDA and other support resources. The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin will work to establish an equity capital fund to provide support for Tribal producers’ land, equipment, and operational needs. ![]() A few of the goals of the project are to purchase the currently rented farm, reduce the net cost of the land through a conservation or working lands easement, and provide an equitable and engaging process of education and training about cooperative land ownership, finance concepts, and related USDA programs. Community Development Corporation of Oregon will work to provide long term and sustainable land access to disadvantaged refugee and immigrant beginning farmers in Oregon’s east Multnomah and Clackamas counties.The Increasing Land Access Program is part of the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to advancing equity for all, including people who have been underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by inequality, by providing the resources, tools and technical support needed to directly help local farmers and ensure we have a strong agricultural system across the country.”Įxamples of selectees for potential award include: “Underserved producers have not had access to the amount of specialized technical support that would increase opportunities to access and capital and benefit the launch, growth, resilience, and success of their agricultural enterprises. “Land access, market access and capital are critical to the success of the hardworking producers who keep agriculture thriving,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The Increasing Land, Capital, and Market Access (Increasing Land Access) Program, which is funded by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, works to increase access to farm ownership opportunities, improve results for those with heirs’ property or fractionated land, increase access to markets and capital that affect the ability to access land, and improve land ownership, land succession and agricultural business planning. These innovative projects will help improve access to land, capital, and markets for underserved farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. Department of Agriculture (USDA) today announced its selection of 50 projects for potential award, totaling approximately $300 million.

![]() The case is modern looking and definitely has more options for upgrading than cheap office computers, but you might need a new power supply if you plan to upgrade the PC. An SSD would be a good upgrade for any desktop because of faster booting, loading times and overall experience. ![]() 8GB is plenty for this kind of computer, the processor is not suitable for extreme multitasking anyway which would require 16GB of ram.ġTB mechanical hard drive is the norm for computers from $400 to $800. You can buy a $100 video card to upgrade gaming performance.ĭue to the FM2/FM2+ socket, it can only use DDR3 ram, not DDR4 like newest AM4 Ryzen CPUs and latest Intel processors. ![]() There is no dedicated graphics, integrated Radeon HD8470D GPU is not suitable for new games. Some modern games won't even start with a 2 core, so buying graphics card costing over $150 (like GTX 1060 or RX 580) is pointless because of the CPU bottleneck. The high GHz number seems tempting, but in reality this 3.8Ghz AMD APU is slower than 2.8GHz Celeron. It runs at 3.8 GHz base clock and 4.0 GHz turbo and it is equipped with a Radeon HD8470D GPU. The dual-core A4-7300 Richland based AMD APU costs around and it is one of the cheapest processors you could buy as new, even cheaper that Intel Celeron series CPUs. Often you see reviews like "I bought it for my 9 year old son and he seems to like it, so 10 out of 10!" If you wonder why there are still some people raving about this CybertronPC gaming computer, it is because a lot of these cheap "gaming computers" are being gifted by not so tech savy person to their kids or grandkids. This PC is fine for low demanding games like WoW, LoL and so on, but don't expect to play AAA games from recent years. On the better side the 8GB of RAM (although older DDR3) and the 1TB mechanical HDD are pretty normal for computers even twice the price. Unfortunately this CybertronPC is far below minimum requirements, the game requires 3GHz 4 core processor and it only has 2 core at 3.8GHz and the graphics cards performance is only a fraction of required HD 7870. It seems like an easy pass, 3.8GHz is higher than 3GHz and HD 8470D is bigger number than HD 7870. Let's take a popular game like Witcher III which requires a minimum 3GHz AMD quad-core processor and a AMD Radeon HD 7870 graphics card (like other popular games like PUBG etc). A high clocked 3.8GHz processor (4GHz with boost), 8GB of RAM, 1TB of storage and AMD Radeon HD 8470D graphics card look pretty good on paper, but in reality the pretty weak dual-core AMD cpu and integrated graphics are not suitable for most modern games. The CybertronPC seems to be a good deal at first glance, at least for an average person, but unfortunately it is quite the opposite when you try the newest games. ![]() Getting an “AirTag Found Moving With You” notification on your device can be scary.

This is the reason why Bertholdt and Reiner need him. It turns out that Eren has a special power, ‘Coordinate’, which allows him to control other Titans. This makes the other Titans start devouring the Smiling Titan. When he comes in contact with the Smiling Titan, some power within him activates. ![]() He then vows to protect Mikasa at any cost. This is a really emotional scene as even after trying his best, he is not able to transform into a Titan and fails to save Hannes. We then see Hannes sacrificing himself to save Mikasa and Eren from the Smiling Titan. This is thanks to the Armored Titan which keeps throwing Titans at their position. The tides do not seem to favor the Scouts as more Titans approach their position. The last episode of the second season was quite intensive and reveals to us a special power of Eren. He does not know that Reeves’ sons Flegel has witnessed the killing of his father. Kenny then kills Reeves for having betrayed him. They ultimately learn about Eren’s and Historia’s location. Thanks to the support and information from Reeves, the Scouts are able to capture some Interior Squad members. She tells him that they need to rescue Eren, otherwise he will be eaten. They then interrogate Dimo Reeves and Levi offers him and the people of Tost protection.Įlsewhere, we see Hange approaching Erwin. Levi tries his best to console the young minds. The fact that they are now killing humans does not sit well with Armin and the other Scouts as they face Kenny’s group. This means that they will have to kill humans which is something they did not sign up for. She leads the other Scouts to protect the duo. Mikasa is adamant in defending Eren and Historia. Kenny, the serial killer, tries to pursue Levi but the latter is able to escape. It seems there are many secrets hiding within the wall than outside it. In the third season, we see more conflicts emerge among the humans rather than conflicts between the Titans and the humans. The illegitimate daughter of the Reiss family Historia becomes the queen and Levi congratulates her. He then gives Levi the serum and passes away. Kenny tells Levi that he had not injected himself with the Titan serum and he has stolen the serum from Rod Reiss. Levi understands that Kenny might have much more information about the Titans and presses him to reveal more. He is the uncle of Levi and had taken care of him after the death of his mother. He remembers how he and Uri became friends even though the circumstances were completely against it. Kenny is dying and he decides to reveal certain things about his past to Levi. This was the second last episode of the first part of season 2 of the anime. Don’t forget to mention your favorite pick in the comments. Can he? With that said, here’s the list of top ‘Attack on Titan’ episodes. After watching his mom being eaten alive by a Titan, Eren Yeager decides to join the army and rid the world of all the Titans. Humans now live together in a city surrounded by walls with their only hope being the 3D gear system which allows them high mobility, thus enabling them to take down Titans. ![]() The Titans consume humans and destroy everything on their path. ![]() ![]() Earthquakes of this size outside of subduction zone are very rare. In contrast, the Great Tohoku earthquake had no aftershock above M7.Īll but one of the 15 M8+ earthquakes since 2000 are on the edges of oceanic plates, and are located in subduction zones. Seeing that kind of activity, people may almost be happy to live in Alaska instead. The Sumatra quake is particularly interesting since there are 5 M8+ events close together on the map: the M9.1, an M8.6 aftershock very close to it which happened a year later, a double M8.2/M8.6 8 years later, which were on the oceanic side of the subduction fault and presumably due to faults there which were stressed by the 2004 event, and finally an M8.7 much further along Sumatra in 2007 which may be due to stress transfer at the edge of the rupture zone of 2004. They include the Great Tohoku earthquake and the 2004 Sumatra earthquake. 10 of these were along the Pacific, and the remainder cluster along Indonesia in the Indian ocean. Since 2000, there have been 15 earthquakes of M8.2 or larger on Earth. ![]() The nice looking one is the S wave, arriving 10 minutes later but remaining visible for several hours.Įarthquakes this size occur somewhere on Earth on average once every one or two years. The irregular part at the start (red) is the P-wave. This is the faf low-frequency seismograph plot, which should be showing the eruption but instead shows the Alaskan waves passing.

In May 2021, a Beta release of Traktor Pro 3.5 added integration with Beatport Link. The new version, entitled Traktor Pro 3, was released on October 18, 2018. ![]() Native Instruments announced in early 2018 that an entirely new version of Traktor (both hardware & software) had been under development. New features included multi-channel support and support for a larger number of concurrent loops. The subsequent software, Traktor Pro 2 was announced on February 10, 2011, and released on April 1, 2011. It included an updated GUI, revamped effects interface, and updated cueing and looping features. On October 16, 2008, Native Instruments announced Traktor Pro, to replace Traktor 3. ![]() At this point, Native Instruments began manufacturing their own DJ hardware components. It was re-branded to Traktor 3 on October 11, 2006, when the partnership between Native Instruments and Stanton Magnetics ended. Version 3 of Traktor DJ Studio, announced in November 2005, added two more playback decks (for a total of four), built-in EQ & effects, Beatport online store integration, a four-channel mixer. In 2005, Native Instruments added vinyl emulation features to version 2.6 of Traktor DJ Studio, alongside live input, internet broadcasting, support for more file formats, and expanded MIDI capabilities. This partnership also allowed Native Instruments to use the Final Scratch timecode functionality in their own Traktor products. They partnered with Stanton Magnetics to develop Traktor Final Scratch: the software for Stanton's Final Scratch digital vinyl system (which used timecode-stamped vinyl records to control MP3s), whilst Stanton developed the hardware. In 2003 Native Instruments expanded Traktor from purely software. Version 2.5, released in 2003, expanded the time stretching functionality, added Open Sound Control (OSC) support, and introduced GUI customization options. The new features included scratch macros and expanded looping, MIDI, and cue point functionality. Version 2 of the software (known as Traktor DJ Studio 2) was released in 2002. The initial versions available were Traktor DJ and Traktor Studio, with Studio being the version with the most functionality. The first version of Traktor DJ Studio, released in 2001. ![]() The best Shark vacuums: Reviews & Recommendations ![]() And since Shark makes so many models, I was careful not to include models that are slated to be discontinued in the near future. In addition, I considered customer ratings and reviews. Price was another factor considered, and I tried to provide a range of price points to accommodate every budget. For example, one consumer may need a vacuum designed to pick up pet hair, while the most important feature to another person may be a lightweight model that’s easy to handle. When selecting the best Shark vacuums, I looked at the quality of build, suction power, and performance, the suggested usage, ease of use, attachments, and other features. I’ve tested dozens upon dozens of vacuum cleaners (including Dyson, Bissell, Samsung, LG, Tineco, and Roborock) and written numerous vacuum-based articles for Architectural Digest, Better Homes & Gardens, and the Daily Beast-to name a few. ![]() Best budget: Shark Rocket Corded Stick Vacuum HV343AMZ.Best wet/dry: Shark WD201 HydroVac Cordless Pro XL 3-in-1 Vacuum, Mop and Self-Cleaning System.Best for pet hair: Shark Ultralight Corded HZ251.Best cordless: Shark iZ562H Pro Cordless Vacuum.Best for hardwood floors and carpets: Shark AZ1002 Apex Power Lift-Away.Best robot: Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop.Best overall: Shark Stratos Upright AZ3002.We researched dozens of models-and tested quite a few-to pick the best Shark vacuums in a range of categories so that you can find the right one for your needs. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming for consumers to determine which vacuum cleaner would work best in their homes. Corded or cordless, upright, stick, robot, handheld, wet/dry-the list of Shark vacuums is seemingly endless. The Shark brand has established itself as a leader in vacuum cleaners by making various high-quality models designed for assorted needs and preferences. If you’re looking for a premium cleaning tool that might even make chores more fun, Shark vacuums could fit the bill. ![]() On top of that, the HD 1.5 Remix also comes with another game (game is loosely used because it is just cutscenes) called Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days which really helps you grasp what is going on because it takes place at the same time as this game. However, as with most games, the farther you get the more sense it all makes. I was thoroughly confused for most of the game trying to figure out what in the world was going on. Kingdom Hearts is known for its crazy, twisting and turning story, and Re:Chain of Memories is no different. They decide it is worth it because they believe that the friends they have been searching for may be at the top. It has taken away their abilities they learned in the previous game and that as they advance through the castle they will forget more and more memories. Sora and his friends quickly figure out that Castle Oblivion is not a normal castle. All of a sudden a man dressed in a black hooded coat appears and sends them to a giant castle called Castle Oblivion. The story starts off right where the first one left off: with Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy Cricket walking down a path in the middle of nowhere (ha ha). The first Kingdom Hearts holds a special place in my heart so I was very excited to see what happens next in the series. I never had a chance to play the rest of the series so playing the HD version was my first time actually seeing this game in action. Re:Chain of Memories is a direct sequel to the first Kingdom Hearts and bridges the gap between the first two numerical Kingdom Hearts games. It was then remastered in HD as part of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix for PlayStation 3 and released worldwide in 2013. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was originally released on the Game Boy Advance in 2004 before being remade for PlayStation 2 and titled Re:Chain of Memories. ![]() Government regulation can limit fish catches or size of fishnets to allow young fish to escape.

![]() Chromecast and AirPlay work very similarly, but with a few key differences. If you want to cast music stored on your computer or phone or mirror the entire contents of your phone’s screen or perhaps a tab in the Chrome browser, that content must be physically streamed from one device to another. Amazon Prime Video, for instance, will let you cast from an Android or iOS device, but not from a computer. Not all of them do, and some are picky about which devices are used to do the casting. The only limitation is that your chosen streaming app must support casting. It’s a little like the way a classic TV remote control doesn’t send NBC to your TV - it simply tells your TV to tune in to NBC (or whatever channel you’ve chosen). When casting a YouTube video from your phone to a Google Chromecast attached to your TV, your phone is saying, “Hey Chromecast, here’s a YouTube video I want you to play.” The Chromecast device then dutifully responds by accessing YouTube directly over Wi-Fi so it can stream that video for you. If the content you’re casting is coming from a streaming service, such as YouTube or Spotify, you’re actually sending an instruction from one device to another. This is where we get the term casting from.Ĭasting uses two different techniques depending on the content you want to watch or listen to.
