Space shuttle2/1/2024 ( Note: The figure was reduced from $42 million after our March issue went to press) Orbiters are122 feet long, weigh 151,000 pounds, and have 78-foot wingspans. NASA is requiring the winners to come up with $28 million- just for shipping and handling. Most important, acquiring a shuttle orbiter is expensive. Both NASA and the Museum were a little naïve.” Spacecraft are fine in a vacuum, she points out, “but they don’t do that well on Earth. These noble behemoths, once targets for pigeons, have since been restored but “certainly there was a lesson learned,” says Valerie Neal, shuttle curator at the National Air and Space Museum, which owns the rockets. NASA clearly wants to avoid a repeat of the Apollo program’s denouement, when the agency left its three remaining Saturn V rockets to decay outside for decades at its centers in Florida, Texas, and Alabama. (NASA plans to give away six to 10 unassembled engine “kits” to suitable museums.)Īlso, you have to display the orbiter indoors. And the gift shuttles will not come with the three main engines, making them lighter and thus easier to transport. museums and educational institutions are eligible. NASA made it clear that contestants don’t win simply by raising their hands. NASA won’t say when it will ask for formal proposals or identify the candidates, but some have declared themselves, apparently feeling that if you want a national treasure, you shouldn’t be shy about saying so. In 2008, the agency issued a Request for Information, and21 institutions entered the competition. Now NASA says it will donate the ones remaining- Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour-to whoever it feels can provide the best homes. Two orbiters were lost, Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003, killing 14 astronauts. ![]() For all the shuttle’s successes in missions like deploying satellites, fixing the Hubble Space Telescope, and building the International Space Station, flying it was always risky. Some time this year-right now it looks like September 30-NASA plans to shut down the program. The orbiters have flown 29 years and have a few miles on them (tens of millions), but soon all three will be up for grabs. Want the ultimate space collectible? Consider a space shuttle.

It starts with the ‘high level of reactivity’ that is possible with the ultra-reactive tread pattern, which is designed to adapt continuously to the road for optimised traction. This latest product from the French tyre maker is said to be crafted through a high precision process and advances simultaneously several criteria on the same tyre. Given this scenario, it is expected that the Pilot Sport 4 S is developed to present maximum, racer-like driving performance for sports car and premium car drivers, or in Michelin’s words ‘those who prioritise performance and safety’. The French tyre maker says the confidential testing data that is collected during races on tyre technologies and new rubber compound formulas enables its engineers to continue to push the ‘envelope of tyre performance’. The Pilot Sport 4 S, which is only suitable for rims from 19-inch onwards, is ranked second to the top Pilot Sport Cup 2, an outright performance tyre often used in motor sport events it is designed for 90% track use.Īs Michelin is involved in several motor sport disciplines worldwide, it uses this competitive environment as a laboratory for the development of future tyre technologies that are subsequently applied in the development of its production tyres. The best part is that despite the general trend in the global tyre industry to raise tyre prices due mainly to rising cost of raw materials and a smaller reason in currency fluctuation, Michelin has bucked the trend by going in the other direction.įor all its improved status, the Pilot Sport 4 S is available in Malaysia from RM1,100 making it a very attractive product when compared to the Pilot Super Sport that is priced from RM1,600. This is the higher performance version of the Pilot Sport 4, which is designed as a 100% road tyre, while the Pilot Sport 4 S is meant for 80% road use and 20% track use. The Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 was developed with Dynamic Response Technology, Michelin adds, which the company says ensures forces and temperatures are distributed evenly for a longer tread wear life.The Michelin Pilot Super Sport is a recognised tyre benchmark for ultra-high performance for original equipment (OE) and replacement applications.ĭevelopment, however, never stops and Michelin came out with an even better tyre, the Pilot Sport 4 S, which would take over gradually from the Pilot Super Sport in the OE segment. “This tire covers 85% of the market, and the new generation includes sizes for the most popular high-performance vehicles being sold today.” “We built this tire for passionate drivers who need their vehicles to perform in wet, dry or even cold, snowy conditions,” said Michelin brand director Matthew Cabe. To further complement wet performance, 360-Degree Variable Sipe Technology – consisting of full-depth and interlocking sipes – provides biting edges for improved traction in rain and snow, Michelin says. The large rain groove evacuates water from under the tire to prevent hydroplaning. ![]() The superior wet grip is the result of a race-inspired tread compound engineered with maximum levels of silica to grip slick pavement. ![]() The tire’s asymmetric tread pattern includes more rubber on the outer shoulder, which helps deliver lateral dry grip, Michelin says. Its latest-generation UHP tire improves on its predecessor’s performance with 4% better dry braking, 5% better wet braking and 10% more snow traction, the company says. Michelin says the tire is designed to provide year-round performance and give drivers ultimate control in any moment and any season. Soulcalibur vi network test2/1/2024 ![]() The quality of this special edition item is not to be underestimated. ![]() The sword accessory is sealed inside a separate area of the packaging for the main statue and it should come away fairly easily with a careful placement of a finger underneath to lever it up. It's reminiscent of Killer Instinct's figures produced by Ultimate Source but larger and non-posable. The statue is surprisingly light, but well-built enough that this isn't a source of complaint. Removing the plastic bag covering the statue is as simple as pulling upwards with one hand whilst holding the statue with the other. The remaining two at the top can be broken in a similar manner, allowing you to separate the halves and lift the statue free. If you pull gently with a half in each hand towards the bottom of the box (where the circular base is visible even within the plastic), two seals should break. There are two strips on each side and once cut, the two sides have 4 seals connecting them to each other. You might have difficulty doing this smoothly though, as even placing a hand on top of the box gently to hold it in place won't stop it from moving as you push against the sides where the two halves of the packaging meet. The statue's box is held together by 4 strips of tape which can be cut with a blade. The assembly should lift straight out with no trouble. ![]() Place your hands underneath the top of the statue's plastic packaging and lift gently. The Sophitia statue is underneath the removable cardboard tray that contained the game case. Unwrapping this reveals a disk and two codes, one for the soundtrack and the other for the season pass, both in print, meaning that sighted assistance will likely be required for redemption. The first thing you see is a game case, in plastic wrapping as usual. ![]() Placing a hand either side of the main flap and flicking upwards carefully of course then reveals the contents of the special edition, without the need to remove any additional adhesive circles that might've been expected. I was correct in thinking this as simply placing a hand either side and moving upwards caused the sleeve to slide majestically away from the inner box, which also seems to not be sealed at first glance. Let's start this review by unboxing the Xbox One collector's edition.Ĭutting then pulling apart the shrink-wrap plastic that covers the box reveals an outer sleeve that seemingly isn't adhered to the box in any way. However, after a pretty positive network test, the full game is now available on Xbox One, PC and PS4. This is, in fact, a commonality in pre-orders which can cause much frustration at times when deciding what version to go for.Īnnounced at PSX 2017, it was surprising to think that the game would come at some point a year later. The edition featured in this review is a non-US variant, so if you wonder why the content is different, it's simply because different regions contain different items. Specifically, this is the collector's edition. Yes, this is, after a long wait, the 6th game in the main-line Soulcalibur series. Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and swords. Soulcalibur VI Collector's Edition: Accessibility Review Freefilesync time zone2/1/2024 Lsyncd has the feature of syncing from one source to multiple targets. Creating a Sync Script Let’s create a simple script and save it in sync-script.sh: /bin/sh date > sync-script. Then we set up a cron job to run the script every minute. Lsyncd aggregates events up to 1000 separate events, or a 15-second delay before synchronizing, whichever happens first, so our changes may not be synced immediately. Sync Files Periodically Let’s start with syncing files periodically with a cron job. $ echo "This is line 2" > sample/source/file01.bin If we edit files in the source directory, lsyncd will automatically reflect it in the target directory: $ cat sample/source/file01.bin $ lsyncd -rsync /home/baeldung/sample/source /home/baeldung/sample/targetġ5:41:03 Normal: - Startup, daemonizing. The command above will copy/mirror the source directory recursively to the target directory: $ tree sample If the target directory is on a different machine: $ lsyncd -rsyncssh /home/baeldung/sample/source/ target-path/ Instead of copying every file every time, FreeFileSync determines the differences between the source and destination folders and transfers only the minimum amount of data required. ![]() Let’s set up a local lsync: $ lsyncd -rsync /home/baeldung/sample/source /home/baeldung/sample/target FreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of all your important files. Our ~/sample/source directory will now sync to ~/sample/target directory every minute. It is available on Windows, Linux and macOS. The script removed the files in the target directory successfully. FreeFileSync is a free and open-source program used for file synchronization. You can go to 'Menu->Global settings' and set 'file time tolerance' to 3602 (2 seconds if you sync to/from a FAT32 drive, if not, 3600 is sufficient). So, thanks to your hint no files are altered anyway I now know how to do things.Let’s delete a file ( ~/sample/source/file01.bin) from the source to see if it will also delete the same file from the target: $ rm sample/source/file01.bin Would not be a good idea as when I just edit a tag of a file Freefilsync would not see the need to copy altered file as size remains the same.įor completeness, yes, I can set FreefileSync to ignore 1 hour difference in timestamp as I figured out now, but with the mix of correct/incorrect timestamps 1 hour off I will just recopy all files via network and then be fine. FreeFileSync: RealTimeSync - YouTube 0:00 / 3:16 FreeFileSync: RealTimeSync Zenju 1. Another useful feature supported by FreeFileSync is comparing files by various criteria, such as modification time and size, file contents, or file size. No big thing, just need to be aware and choose the local files on the PC as primary source for all other copies. Instead of copying every file every time, FreeFileSync determines the differences between a source and a target folder and transfers only the minimum amount of data needed. would not make sense anyway as tag-edits etc. FreeFileSync is a folder comparison and synchronization software that creates and manages backup copies of all your important files. ![]() ![]() Introducing The Slant team built an AI & it’s awesome Find the best product instantly Add to ChromeAdd to EdgeAdd to FirefoxAdd to OperaAdd to BraveAdd to Safari Try it now 4. does not change the file but goes into the Roon-DB - I get why - so syncing from Rock to PC etc. Free and open-source synchronization software for Windows, Linux and Mac.
