There are occasionally some app developers that release some data on which iOS versions are in use with their apps, though that’s both less commonly available and also tends to be app-specific.IOS is Apple’s mobile operating system that runs the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices. The actual answer here is entirely up to you and your app requirements, and the decision is usually based on which iOS features and capabilities you’re looking to use within your app and from there the associated iOS releases, and on which iOS versions your intended or your most important users are currently running. IOS 12 is the only officially supported version.Īpple doesn’t usually release patches for older iOS versions, either. The Apple iOS developer forums would probably be a better place for this and similar questions. Diamond family of nanoparticle superlattices. Long-range orientation and atomic attachment of nanocrystals in 2D honeycomb superlattices. High-temperature crystallization of nanocrystals into three-dimensional superlattices. Binary nanocrystal superlattice membranes self-assembled at the liquid–air interface. Assembly of mesoscale helices with near-unity enantiomeric excess and light-matter interactions for chiral semiconductors. Self-assembly of colloidal nanocrystals: from intricate structures to functional materials. This study provides information about the packing of non-spherical nanocrystals into complex superstructures, and may enhance the potential of self-assembled nanocrystal metamaterials in practical applications.īoles, M. Our packing models showed that formation of the nanocrystal superstructures is dominated by the selective facet-to-facet contact induced by the anisotropic patchiness of the tetrahedra. Using techniques in real and reciprocal spaces, we successfully characterized the superstructures from their nanocrystal translational orderings down to the atomic-orientation alignments of individual quantum dots. Here we report the packing of truncated tetrahedral quantum dot nanocrystals into three distinct superstructures-one-dimensional chiral tetrahelices, two-dimensional quasicrystal-approximant superlattices and three-dimensional cluster-based body-centred-cubic single supercrystals-by controlling the assembly conditions. The packing of spherical nanocrystals, which frequently adopt dense, face-centred-cubic or hexagonal-close-packed arrangements at thermodynamic equilibrium, has been much more widely studied than that of non-spherical, polyhedral nanocrystals, despite the fact that the latter have intriguing anisotropic properties resulting from the shapes of the building blocks 11, 12, 13. The assembly of uniform nanocrystal building blocks into well ordered superstructures is a fundamental strategy for the generation of meso- and macroscale metamaterials with emergent nanoscopic functionalities 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Though I hope both can recommend a good product. Recommended to both fans of classic and contemporary gin, though it may be too classic for the ardent contemporarians and too contemporary for the most ardent classicists. The Botanist Gin is more than just a gin with a huge amount of botanicals it’s a well crafted and constructed gin that showcases the power of teamwork. This is a well-made gin with fine attention to detail. Well balanced, but sufficiently complex The Botanist Gin may be the floral/herbal gin most well suited to entice the classic gin aficionado a bit step ever so slightly outside of their comfort zone. The Botanist Gin is certainly evidence that the Hebridean Islands are about more than just Scotch. In mixed drinks, it adds a pleasant floral and herbal undernote to the gentle juniper-forward profile it already brings. My shortlist would also recommend The Aviation and The Clover Club Cocktail, though really any mixed drink like The Gimlet or of course, The Gin and Tonic, are good with The Botanist. I suggest a drier than usual 9:1 with a twist, owing to the botanical complexity you don’t need as much botanical complexity from the Vermouth. Well that is on any except The Martini, which I wholeheartedly recommend with this gin. The Botanist Gin is a versatile mixing gin in the sense that it works well and delivers a classic gin flavor to most any cocktail however some of that nuance and aromatic layers that can be tasted neat don’t quite come through. I’d say that the Botanist Gin on the palate is a perfumers’ gin. It’s focused, and surprising to the palate, in the way that a good perfume seems to be composed of so much less. Whereas many gins with a kitchen-sink list of botanicals seem to be a battle for attention every botanical amped up as if to scream, “I’m in here, notice me,” The Botanist Gin manages to include a lot without seeming like there’s a lot. I really like the way the seemingly boundless list of woodland herbs and flowers come together so nicely to create a harmonious, well-balanced accord. Fairly long, fairly dry finish with a gentle, pleasing astringency. Warm juniper late with echoes of vanilla cream, licorice and birch bark. Woodruff, chamomile and herbs de provence. Citrus, primarily lemon zest on the early mid-palate before sweet spices and flower come through. The texture of the spirit rather nice, with a slightly oily, pleasant palate coating presence.Ĭool mint and juniper, slightly pine-forward juniper at first. Tasting Notesĭispel the notion that an excess of botanicals means you can’t have a classic gin nose: plenty of juniper, lemon and orange zest mingling with meadowsweet and woodruff. Most of the world knows it as a weed due to its hardy and opportune ability to colonize sprawling and disturbed grasslands. Unusual in culinary applications, it has traditional uses as a dye and in Nordic spirits. Yellow bedstraw, or as The Botanist Gin team calls it “Lady’s Bedstraw” is a yellow plant that was once used as bedding and has a distinctive Tonka-Bean like aroma of fresh, creamy hay. The sweet woodruff or just plain woodruff is sometimes called bedstraw and is a not-too-unusual flavoring ingredient. Firstly, another plant that goes by the name of Bedstraw is more common in gin. Yellow Bedstraw in a gin? This one is interesting for many reasons. Of the massive 31 botanicals in The Botanist, a full twenty-two of them are locally foraged and they range from the quotidian (spearmint) to the hardy, weedy, and unusual in gin (yellow bedstraw). Foraged botanicals are commonplace in gins that make a statement of place. In 2011, what the Bruichladdich distillery was still rather unusual. Rather, The Botanist Gin is an exploration of Hebridean flora. Although distilled at a distillery better known for Scotch (Bruichladdich) and in a region of the world better known for Scotch (the Southern reaches of the Hebridean islands), The Botanist Gin is no Islay Scotch.

To ensure it was safe, I first ran a virus scan on the app, and I’m happy to report that it passed with flying colors. My experiences with the VyprVPN desktop app were highly positive, especially with regard to its MacOS version, which I had tested out. While Switzerland does enforce data retention laws for large telecom providers and ISPs, these laws currently do not tend extend to VPN companies, for now. ProtonVPN, another renowned VPN service, is also headquartered in Switzerland. While VyprVPN operates from the United States, the company is officially registered in Switzerland, a country known for its stringent privacy laws and a safe base for tech companies. The following are kept private and never logged: Your IP address, your location, the websites you visit, and your personal communications.” Where is VyprVPN Based? □□ To quote from their privacy policy: “We’ve been publicly verified by an independent audit that VyprVPN logs zero personally identifiable information, so we keep your information private. Their no-logs policy has been independently verified by the Leviathan Security Group, adding credibility to their commitment to user privacy. VyprVPN is a ‘ no log VPN‘ and claims to be the first VPN service to be publicly audited to back this assertion. Here’s a quick summary of its safety features: No logs Moreover, there are no mandatory data retention laws for VPN providers in Switzerland, making it an excellent location for privacy-focused users like myself. Yes, VyprVPN is safe! It has a strict no-logs privacy policy that has been fully audited, which means they do not keep any of my browsing data.

In most of my VPN tests across three days of testing, my average download speeds were well above 200 Mb/s. Especially for the locations closest to me. Here are the average download speeds I got: LocationĪs you can see, the Wireguard speeds are not bad at all. When it comes to speed, I was really impressed with the results when I tested VyprVPN with Wireguard. The VyprVPN trial is for three days and although I needed to enter my billing details, I didn’t need to pay anything upfront, which is a plus in my book. Moreover, VyprVPN does offer a free trial! I was able to try out VyprVPN for free by signing up through its Android VPN app. The 12-month plan is priced at $5.00 per month, billed annually at $60.00, while the 1-month plan is priced at $10.00 per month, billed monthly.īoth plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, providing me with the flexibility to try VyprVPN risk-free and cancel anytime if I’m not satisfied.

That’s why I’ve decided to put VyprVPN under the microscope for this review. Navigating the world of VPNs can be a tough task. I got it working enough to get everything off of it by using the fsck and after “volume appears to be ok”, typing “reboot” (this was the only way to get it to boot up normally as none of the other key prompts would work). I’ve spent the last 2 days troubleshooting my neighbor’s MBP late 2011 with the same problem after they had it in the repair shop 3 times for $500. I'm noticing that the computer is getting unusually hot, roughly where the fans are (i.e. Booting over Firewire from another computer in Target Disk Mode: No difference. What in God's name is going on here?Īlso tried: Apple Hardware Test, extended testing: No trouble found. I have tried: Booting in Safe Mode (no indication that that took effect), zapping the PRAM (seven reboots in a row to be sure), resetting the PMU (twice), Verbose mode (which works, until it goes to the white screen of death), Single User Mode (which works just fine, but all I know to do from there is to fsck the disk, which returns no errors), unplugging the battery for 30 seconds or so, resetting the RAM in its slot, and, as I said, repeatedly attempting to boot from an emergency drive. When I boot to my Protogo, it shows a line of random colors in the upper portion of the screen for a second before it goes to the white screen. When I went to Recovery or Internet Recovery (after it downloaded the installer), it would go to a horrible blue screen, that looked like some kind of awful graphics error-it hurt my eyes. Once it immediately turned itself back on after I forced to turn off by holding the Power button for six seconds. However, last night it would sometimes do that, and sometimes go to the white screen and then shut down, and sometimes spontaneously reboot, over and over. It will show the Apple logo and the loading bar, then go to an all-white screen and stay there. Not only to the new internal drive, but to the Protogo, or to the original drive, or to the Recovery partition, or to Internet Recovery. Everything worked fine I installed the drive, booted with a Techtool Protogo USB stick with the High Sierra installer on it, formatted the disk with Disk Utility, installed High Sierra onto it, waited for it to reboot, plugged the old drive in via a Universal Drive Adapter, and restored all the data using the Migration Assistant built into the initial startup sequence. The original HDD was drastically slowing down and giving SMART errors, so I replaced it with a (somewhat smaller, but still big enough for all the data with room to spare) SDD. I was doing a routine hard drive replacement. Resetting PRAM, PMU, Safe Mode, and booting from external drives all have the same result. That’s versatility.Tl dr No matter what I do, I get a white screen on startup after the Apple logo. What’s more, you can reconfigure your device profiles anytime you need. Plus you can add other utilities, like anti-virus, to complement your profiles and help you prevent costly repairs in the future. Your Protogo profiles include TechTool Pro to diagnose hardware issues, repair drives, fix disk permissions, clone volumes, backup your Recovery HD to another device, and a lot more. Once you see how well that works, you’ll protect all your Macs with Protogo. You can create your own custom profiles too, and your device will run software faster than from a DVD. With Protogo and just a few clicks, you can configure a bootable device to maintain and monitor your Macs for impending problems. Plug in a flash drive or retired iPod to help maintain or repair your Mac. Just drop it into your pocket, take it anywhere. Now you can boot, run diagnostics and perform drive repair on multiple Macs, both Intel and PPC, from a single, portable device as small as a flash drive. Using Protogo, you can easily turn a USB or FireWire device, such as an iPod, flash drive, compact hard drive, or SD Card, into a powerful toolkit to troubleshoot all of the Macs in your life. TechTool Protogo easily lets you turn your USB or Firewire device into a bootable, diagnostics toolkit for Mac. He accompanied his master to the battle field and guarded his castle. The Vassal rendered compulsory military service to the Lord for forty days in a year. The vassal had to be present in the court whenever the Lord needed. In the feudal society, the vassals or subjects had certain duties towards the Lord. Thus, the feudal Lords had many duties which they discharged and they also enjoyed certain rights inside the society. In that case, the land was to be handed over the heir on payment of a sum known as ‘Relief, when a Vassal died without the heir, his fiefs was taken over by the Lord. This ownership was called ‘Wardship’ and it continued till the minor came of age. A Lord became the owner of the land of a vassal who died leaving a minor son. Their main duty was to save their subjects from the invaders. They also looked to the administration of estates, draining of swamps and trade and commerce. Most of them were employed in the work of the Government, army and diplomacy. The medieval European literature sang the glory of these Knights in no uncertain terms. They also spent their time in different plays and gymnastics. By exhibiting chivalry he could save an old man, destiture, weak man from the clutches of injustice and tyranny. After becoming a Knight, he had to purchase horse and arms for himself. Then he had to kneel down before priest who would deliber a light blow of his palm on the young man’s neck with the blessings-“Be a Valiant Knight”. He had to spend a night inside the Church in prayer. After he achieved mastery in these works, he was to be appointed as a Knight. When he could serve property, he was appointed as a ‘Squire’ or body-guard of that Knight.ĭuring that period he learnt how to clean the weapons and prepare a horse. When one wanted to be a Knight, he had to work as a ‘Page’ or servant near another Knight. Generally, the sons and relatives of a Lord received education and training to be a Knight. A Knight took oath to fight with enemy and to protect the weak. The Knight:Īnother characteristic feature of the feudal society was ‘Knighthood’. They remained inside small huts with their domestic animals like cows and pigs in a very unhealthy condition. In one day of the week, they worked in the field of their Lord without payment which was known as ‘Forced Labour’. They worked in the land given to them by their Lord. They had neither the land of their own, nor they were independent. The lowest stratum in the society projected the ‘Serfs’. They could resort to independent profession and move from one place to another according to their own hill. Then came the ‘Vassels’ or ‘Independent Farmers’. The ‘King’ was at the top of the society and he was quite powerless. This society was largely an agrarian society. The division of a feudal society followed a pyramidal pattern. This law entirely belonged to the Lord which he could use according to his whims and caprices. After distributing the land among his serfs whatever land remained with him was known as Demense. Demense:Īnother feature of feudalism was ‘Demense’. According to the possession of Manors, the strength of a feudal Lord was known. The castles, cultivated land, dwelling houses of barons and Church were associated with it. The land associated with the castle was known as Manor. Manor:Īnother significant mark of feudalism was Manor. A feudal Lord had many castle and he lived inside different castles at different time. This was connected with a bridge.ĭuring the attack, this bridge was lifted off Mild the enemy could not enter into the castle. Deep ditches were dug around the castle and filled up with water. The gateway of the castle was very strong. In some cases the castles were surrounded by wide ditch or moat.įrom towers one could watch the movement of enemies. There was strong and high wall with towers at intervals around the castle. At the time of external invasion, it provided shelter to the common people. The Lords stored arms and weapons and found grains inside the castle. A large windshield and low side-window sills make it easy for the driver to see around him or her. Or if you want to drive a couple of your kids’ friends home from a soccer game, you could raise up the third row and get it done. and young enough to still bend well, that could work. For instance, if you have a couple of extra people you want to drive to dinner, and it’s not far, and they’re short, and slim. And while we wouldn’t want to sit back there, having the option of a foldable third row of seats can make your family vehicle a bit more useful. Those captains chairs make access to the folding third row very easy. And in our higher end test car, there were two captain’s chairs in the second row. It’s got a nice, large, horizontally oriented infotainment screen. We found the controls up to date, easy to understand and use. It’s not sporty, but it’s definitely competent. While the steering is light, the Sorento handles corners well, albeit with some body lean. There’s also a 227 hp gas-electric hybrid option that’s EPA rated at 37 mpg overall. And even with all that power, we saw 24 mpg overall, which is quite good. While not as smooth as the Telluride’s V6, the turbo four moves the Sorento easily, and in a relaxed manner. We tested the turbo charged version of that engine that ups the power significantly, to 281 hp. The base Sorento comes with a 2.5 liter, non-turbo four-cylinder engine that produces 191 hp. It’s a nice looking, modern design that should appeal to a lot of buyers. So it’s no surprise that the new, redesigned Sorento has looks that resemble its more successful, larger sibling. Kia has a smash hit with its one-size-larger Kia Telluride. |
