![]() It feels more like a spam session that doesn’t reflect the intense attack and evade feeling of the movies.įinally, Grid Tanks is clearly based on Tank, a mid-70s Atari game, which also saw a remake in Wii Play. There are disc power-ups meant to make things more interesting, but the problem is that the discs fly around far too quickly and the attack controls are inconsistent. In these battles, players run around an arena attempting to “derezz” opponents by hitting them with their discs. The most baffling game has to be Disc Battles, which could only be considered a design success if its intent was to have players as disoriented as their movie counterparts when they were unceremoniously dumped into the Grid games. While like tennis in a way, the action is too stilted and the game doesn’t provide enough control variety to allow for significant strategy. ![]() If the player misses, then the floor is damaged, creating a fall hazard. If the opposing player is close enough to the ball, the character can catch it, and the process continues, turn by turn. In Hyper Ball, players serve the ball up and try to throw it at their opponent’s side during the optimal range along a moving meter. Hyper Ball proves that not all games from the silver screen make sense as a real video game. The AI isn’t particularly engaging, but the racing modes are especially fun in multiplayer. These weapons add a layer of strategy, and even light trails can be destroyed by them. The modes featuring these vehicles are similar to the cycle games, but the Runners sport an array of weaponry such as guns, mines, and missiles. In Lightcycle Races, a 90-degree turn would almost certainly end in instant death, so the button now provides a means of abruptly smashing to the left or right.īesides the cycles, players can also take control of the two-seat Light Runners. Besides the behind-the-vehicle perspective, players can jump over light trails. It’s like the classic game Snake, but there are a number of key differences. In Lightcycle Battles, players can make 90-degree turns in an attempt to cut off opponents using the light trails that follow their vehicles. While similar to Mario Kart, Tron adds its own flair with hard turns. Here, the game makes good use of Wii Remote tilt controls to provide a smooth driving experience. The vehicular games are probably the most memorable aspect of Tron, even for those who haven’t seen the movies, and they form the best part of Battle Grids. After each match, players’ overall scores move up and down, charted on a graph like Wii Sports. In a nod to the original movie, some of the unlockables can be purchased with Bits, glowing polyhedrons collected in story mode or earned through competition. A fair number of unlockables are included, such as gameplay variations, arenas, and cycle and disc types. Several games can be controlled either Remote-only or with the Remote and Nunchuk, and there is also Wii MotionPlus support to increase sensitivity. Match load times are also on the long side.īattle Grids includes seven game types, with a couple of variations for each type. Almost immediately, I found repeatable bugs where I would get stuck falling through walls. I guess there just isn’t much to do in the Grid besides compete in the Games. If you fail a story point, you keep playing until you can pass. ![]() Story mode provides some simple 3D platforming, acting more as a hub between story points (excuses to play the next game type) than anything else. The protagonist is an ISO, set to be the first to win the Grid Games, to the displeasure of some programs.īattle Grids’ story is quite short, and feels tacked on. However, the “racial” conflict between user-created programs known as ISOs, who emerged spontaneously from the grid, is prevalent in the story line. However, Battle Grids, as the title implies, focuses only on the grid games, and I imagine you’ll have to play Tron: Evolution on one of the other systems to get the rest of the story. While relatively isolated from the premises of the Tron movies, Battle Grids does feature characters from Legacy such as Quorra, Tron, and Zuse. The story in Tron: Evolution takes place sometime before the events of the movie, Tron: Legacy, during a lighter time in the Grid when games were played for fun rather than survival. The game allows up to four players to compete, and despite its shortcomings, can be quite a bit of fun in a competitive, multiplayer environment. Unfortunately, those games vary significantly in quality, and overall fall short of the technical achievements the Tron movies are known for. Tron: Evolution – Battle Grids could be considered something of a futuristic Wii Sports, and the one thing it does well is provide an array of games from the Tron universe.

![]() We are not talking about “just” recording great musicians, or writing great charts or great arrangements (as, say, George Martin did with the Beatles or Brian Wilson did with the Beach Boys) we are talking about using a 1970s recording studio to make the pop equivalent of Brunelleschi’s Dome.īoston, both track to track and in its entirety, is a piece where the studio-by which I mean the whole apparatus (console, tape machines, outboard gear, EQs, etcetera)-is an extra musician, a featured musician, and that musician is expertly, precisely directed by very, very skillful hands that do not play dice.Īlthough this remarkable record is full of intention, it is never pretentious, and the almost exotically unique skill behind Boston does not draw attention to itself.

If the mental math problems are ones your student has learned the math for, I suggest skipping them. We are looking for mastery in basic arithmetic and mental math is a tool that can help you achieve that goal. Mental math is best when it’s math the student has already learned and is proficient in. ![]() I usually do mental math as part of our opening activities and usually earlier rather than later in our school day. You can skip these or change them to suit your needs. In addition to basic arithmetic questions, I also added in telling time, measurement and money problems as well as a few word problems. For the younger grades, I have 2 36-week years worth of questions, that’s nearly 1500 questions! And for the older grades, I have 3 -36 week years of questions with over 3000 questions total! One or the other curriculum is sure to suit your student, but if not, you can certainly come up with questions on your own. I also standardized the number of questions each day: 4 questions for grades 1-3 and 6 questions for grades 4-8. Recently, I took those questions and sorted them out into two categories: younger grades (1st-3rd) and older grades (4th-8th). Sometimes I would ask 4-6 questions and other times up to 10 questions a day for my older students. Easy questions were mixed in with more challenging questions. I would reuse the questions year to year rather than come up with new ones (starting in 5th grade), and for the younger grades (1st-3rd), I usually came up with about half the questions on the spot. I’ve been doing mental math in our homeschool for many years, and over the years, I came up with thousands of questions. Or is there? What you ever tried math the Waldorf way? Instead of asking what is 3 x 4? You can ask what makes 12? When you ask the second question, you can have an infinite number of answers! Each answer is exact and right, but now instead of just having one right answer, you have several right answers. It isn’t maybe 47 or sometimes 49, it’s simply 48. One thing about math is that it is exact. When you add in fractions, decimals and percents, you can easily see how complex the questions can become. Often, they are two part questions which involve a multiplication or division question first, followed by an addition or subtraction question next. Mental Math are math questions that can be worked out in one’s head. ![]() Importantly, the two outbreaks were contained within the provincial borders, preventing a need for strict measures across multiple regions. ![]() The mean SI then stayed relatively stable from August to October, despite two more Delta outbreaks in Yunnan and Fujian Province. Since then, the country’s top scientific advisors had warned provincial officials regarding the higher infectivity of the Delta variant provincial governments responded strongly when the risks from a new variant first materialised. The centrality of Nanjing in China’s transport network further led the transmission chain to spread across twelve provinces. Several factors may have contributed to the policy escalation: the first inter-provincial transmission of Delta variant in mainland China was identified during the Nanjing outbreak in late July at the height of the summer travel season. Observing the change over time, the mean SI experienced a rather steep increase from late July into August. Meanwhile, the mean population-weighted SI across provinces has remained toward a medium-level (bright green line in Figure 2, 40≤SI≤60). To contextualise this finding, during its third lockdown (January to March 2021), UK’s policy SI was above 80. This line shows the situation of the province with the most stringent policy level among 31 provincial-level jurisdictions in mainland China. Figure 2 shows that the maximum SI (dark green line) in any province has remained 60 or above throughout the last year. The OxCGRT Stringency Index (SI) records the strictness of closure and containment policies, which reduce contacts between people. (*) We define the severe provincial outbreak as a provincial outbreak with more than 20 daily new confirmed cases. Number of provinces with outbreaks connecting to source cities Source cities of severe provincial outbreaks Number of severe provincial outbreaks (*)Īverage duration of severe provincial outbreaks Table 1: Five major COVID-19 outbreaks in 2021 Top officials from the national health authority warned that China faced a hefty challenge in controlling the virus during the 2021-2022 winter-spring season. Most Delta or Omicron-driven transmission clusters have spread to multiple provinces (Wave 2-5). With some baseline prevention and control measures, costly policy options, such as stay-at-home orders, are no more common at the start of 2022 than they were at the start of 2021.įigure 1 and Table 1 together show that China was hit by five relatively large waves of COVID-19 outbreaks since the beginning of 2021. Restrictive policies have been increasingly geographically-targeted. Although the case of Xi’an is quite salient, the average time needed to bring a new provincial outbreak to zero has gotten shorter, not longer, even during the Delta and Omicron waves. We find that Chinese provincial governments have proven to be able to implement the so-called " dynamic clearance" strategy consistently over time. Based on the Blavatnik School’s Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) at the Chinese subnational level, a dataset recording daily government responses to COVID-19 in 31 provincial-level jurisdictions in mainland China since 1 January 2020, we unpack the regional policy variation between provinces and over time. However, comparative data tell a more nuanced story. Many anticipate the COVID-eliminating strategy to be " not sustainable", " getting bumps", " under strain", or " put to its toughest test". The media have paid particular attention to Xi’an, an ancient capital city in North-Western China, where transmission of the Delta-variant led to the city-wide lockdown for a month – the largest lockdown across the country in 2021. The Delta and Omicron waves in China are larger in scale, measured by the number of provinces affected (see Table 1), compared with the few local flare-ups during the year before. Can it continue? This article summarises arguments made in a new working paper. However, it seems that China has become nearly the only country trying to keep up a COVID-eliminating strategy. China saw four waves of COVID-transmission in 2021, with a fifth Omicron wave emerging into the beginning of 2022.ĭata from the Blavatnik School of Government’s Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker suggests that China’s policy has become more targeted over the course of 2021, even in confronting Omicron.īy late 2021, most countries with high vaccination rates have moved toward "living with COVID", including some previous "zero-COVID" holdouts, such as Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, despite the global concerns about the Delta and Omicron variants. ![]() ![]() The sudden onset of pain caused by twisting, lifting or bending is most often due to a muscle strain. Luckily, “throwing your back out” is usually a temporary situation. Santini serves as Chief Medical Director of Virginia Spine and Sports Orthopaedics in Loudoun County.īack strains can occur anytime, anywhere, during almost any kind of activity. She is a member of the Inova Spine Program with privileges at Inova Loudoun Hospital, which has earned the Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission for spine surgery. You can also increase the strength and stabilization challenge by using a barbell instead of dumbbells or kettlebells, says Pierson.Angela Santini, MD is board certified in orthopedic surgery and fellowship trained in spinal surgery. If you already have this move down, an easy way to progress the bent over row is to simply use heavier weights. ![]() When you’re comfortable with that, add light weights. Focus on really squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of each rep. To make it even easier, drop the weights entirely and perform the move with just your bodyweight, suggests Pierson. Hinge at the hips, and then perform reps from this position. You can also incorporate a weight bench for support: Hold a weight in one hand, place that same knee on the bench, and keep the opposite foot firmly planted on the ground. How to Modify or Progress the Bent Over Rowįor more stability, do a single-arm bent-over row from a split stance: Hold a weight in one hand, step forward with the opposite leg, hinge at the hips, and then perform reps from this position. “You want to make sure that you’re working all your muscles evenly,” says Pierson, as this promotes good body alignment. ![]() It also develops well-rounded, total-body strength, which is especially important for cyclists since their primary activity emphasizes their lower half only. Doing upper-body exercises like the bent over row can help combat these issues by strengthening the rhomboids as well as the mid and lower traps, which helps keep the shoulder blades in a better position when on the bike and off of it.Īnother reason to strengthen these backside muscles? It can help you hold a more ideal position on the bike so that you don’t lean too far forward or put undue stress on your hands and wrists, Revier explains.įinally, the bent-over row can also help correct muscular imbalances between your abs and back, which can help reduce back pain while riding, says Pierson. Moreover, the forward-leaning position that cyclists hold while riding can lead to a number of problems-think: tight chest, weak back, and a curved posture that persists off the bike, explains Revier. These upper-body muscles help stabilize your body when you’re riding, which is why it’s important to strengthen them. The bent over row targets your rhomboids, traps, lats, and biceps, says Pierson. Both of these tips can help you fire up the right muscles. It can also help to perform reps while someone places their hand in the center of your back right between your shoulder blades, suggests Darci Revier, DHSc, C.S.C.S., director of education at the National Exercise Trainers Association (NETA) and NETA-certified cycling instructor in Jacksonville, North Carolina. If you’re having trouble activating your upper-body muscles in the bent over row, imagine there is an object on your mid-back–like a soda can or walnut–that you’re trying to crush with your shoulder blades. If possible, do your reps in front of a mirror so you can keep tabs on your body positioning and make adjustments as needed, suggests Pierson. Sometimes people tend to bend the elbows as they row, creating more of a curl motion, which also cuts down on the activation of the mid-back muscles. Also, while keeping the shoulders packed, think more about pulling the weights up and back, rather that straight up. ![]() The Cavendish variety of bananas is the most commonly grown in Hawaii, with the Hawaiian apple variety following closely behind due to labor and land costs. Flowers appear relatively quickly, and the plants grow and produce fruit much more quickly than a virus called Banana Bunchy Top. This is a good idea for growing Dwarf Iholena bananas, which are abundant. The Hawaii Community Foundation contributes to Hawaii Grown through grants. Can there be enough demand in the near future for the products to support a growing farm? John Jefts, a long-time Oahu farmer, believes there is plenty of room for everyone on Oahu. Iholena bananas from Hawaii Banana Source are used in both the Cuban and black bean bowls at Juicy Brew in Kaimuki. The building where the company’s Manoa location now stands has been purchased by UH. The company turned to local seed manufacturer Sachter-Smith, which is still in the early stages of startup. We now have 40 acres under our purview, including two 5-acre plots near Haleiwa.īanan’s restaurant began as a food truck on the side of Diamond Head. Rob Barreca was the driving force behind the formation of Counter Culture Organic Farm, which led to the creation of Farm Link Hawaii. After moving to Colorado as a young child, he grew bananas for much of his teen years. According to Banana Source’s director of operations, Ben Sachter-Smith was a child prodigy who worked on banana research at an early age. Hong describes it as a touch of tenderness or a miracle that he was able to catch his bananas on line. ![]() He had recently started his business, Hawaii Banana Source, and was running out of bananas before Banan could rely on them. Gabriel Sachter-Smith, also known as Banana Gabe, is a banana scientist and farmer from Zimbabwe. Hawaii is also home to the world’s largest banana plantation, located on the island of Maui. Bananas are grown for both the fresh market and for processing into products such as banana chips and banana bread. Today, there are hundreds of banana plantations in Hawaii, and the fruit is a major export for the state. The bananas quickly became a popular crop, and they were soon being grown on all of the major islands. Bananas were first brought to the islands by Chinese laborers who were working on the sugar cane plantations. The banana industry in Hawaii has a long history, dating back to the early days of sugar cane plantations. The majority of the banana plantations in Hawaii are located on the north shore of Kauai. Bananas are grown on all of the major islands, including Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. Bananas are an important crop in Hawaii, and the state is one of the leading producers of the fruit in the United States. There are many different types of bananas that are grown in Hawaii, including the popular Cavendish variety. The tropical climate and ample rainfall make the islands ideal for growing bananas.

The filter's input is also presented as an output for this example to present a model with output signals running at different rates. The first example uses a multirate CIC Interpolation filter in single clock mode. For example, in a multirate model consisting of Downsample block, add a unit delay block after the Downsample block to generate the clock port of that downsampling rate. If the sequential logic is not present at a particular Simulink rate, HDL Coder does not generate separate clock port for that rate. When using multiple clocks for multirate model, it is recommended to add sequential logic such as delay block at each Simulink rate. A multiple clock model may require multiple timing controllers. These out of phase signals are generated with a timing controller. Transitions between rates require clock enables at a given rate that are out of phase with that rate's clock. Each clock port corresponds to a separate rate in the model. In synchronous multiple clock mode, the generated code has a set of clock ports as primary inputs to the DUT. Each output signal rate is associated with a clock enable output signal that indicates the correct timing to sample the output data. Each generated clock enable is an integer multiple slower than the primary clock rate. The timing controller generates a set of clock enables with the necessary rate and phase information to control the clocking for the design. In single clock mode, if multiple rates exist in the Simulink model, a timing controller is created to control the clocking to the portions of the model that run at a slower rate. By default, HDL Coder creates an HDL design that uses a single clock port for the DUT. The other mode generates a synchronous primary clock input for each Simulink® rate in the DUT. One mode generates a single clock input to the Device Under Test (DUT).
