![]() ![]() Indeed, there is an air of mistrust and danger with everyone James encounters. This aura of suspicion is especially present when meeting new characters. Quite a few scenes take place in a basement: a physical representation of buried secrets and isolated behavior. However, the date seems to haunt him when in his support group he scratches at his tattoo as if its presence irritates him.Īside from the lead’s ability to portray the character’s struggles, the various locations also create a setting of secrecy. On his inner wrist, James permanently inked the day he lost his wife. James attempts to ask a fellow sufferer ( Jennifer Jelsema) a question, but distances himself from the woman and the answer. To demonstrate his inability to accept his loss, we see James attending a support group for people who lost a loved one. He limits his dialogue, but still explains so much about his feelings and failing mental stability with his actions and expressions. The actor does well emoting with his face alone an important skill considering he spends most of the film staring at a screen or a person and not actually interacting with anyone. Shum’s previous career on screen mostly involved singing pop songs and dancing, but nothing of this role resembles his Glee days. ![]() Set in Chicago 1999, Harry Shum Jr plays James, a man who surrounds himself with electronic equipment and prefers recorded images of people over the real thing. Broadcast presents some strong re-playability because the unraveling story makes the viewer second guess previously established facts and relationships. At first, the dream might seem just a reflection of a guilty conscience but after a second watch it will make you rethink the whole film. Turning, the woman wears a white mask, which startles the man into waking from his dream. The man films the woman with a video recorder but stops when he seems to sense something strange. The woman walks to the tree line with her back to the audience. Starting with a curious sequence, we see a man and a woman spending time together in a park. The opening scene creates an enigmatic tone for the film as immediately the viewer struggles to understand the difference between a memory, a recording, or a dream. ![]() The film never touts the claim of “inspired by real events” or a similar tagline but knowing about the inspiration for the movie definitely makes for a more enjoyable viewing experience. On Reddit and several other forums, the Max Headroom Incident still holds a strong pulse and helped lay the groundwork for Jacob Gentry’s Broadcast Signal Intrusion, which just had its World Premiere at SXSW Film Festival. The case never died for online conspiracy theorists, however. Despite a long investigation, the intrusion eventually became a cold case. During an airing of Doctor Who on a Chicago station, a man wearing a Max Headroom mask appeared for about 20 seconds in which he spoke in a distorted voice. The video pirate eventually got caught, but the following year investigators faced an even more curious foe. In 1986, an HBO broadcast of The Falcon and The Snowman was interrupted with a typed message from Captain Midnight complaining about the monthly price of the premium channel and threatening Showtime and the Movie Channel. A couple notable intrusions occurred in the ‘80s: Captain Midnight and the Max Headroom Incident. While frequently used by evil geniuses and supervillains in classic tv shows and comic books, real-life intrusions occur much more rarely. A broadcast signal intrusion is a cultural phenomenon in which someone hijacks a radio or tv transmission with the intention of playing some kind of message. However, some people find a way to disrupt the airwaves with a Broadcast Signal Intrusion. ![]()

![]() ![]() OneMesh allows you to connect other TP-Link routers with OneMesh in a mesh. If you need more coverage down the line, you don't need to replace your router. TP-Link estimates this router should provide a signal for a three-bedroom home thanks to its three external antennas. If you're looking to connect a lot of smart home devices, consider something with greater capacity. ![]() While this router lacks support for MU-MIMO, it should be able to handle several devices at once without issue. ![]() Typically, the 2.4GHz band will have a wider range thanks to better wall penetration. The Archer A7's dual-band Wi-Fi 5 connection can deliver up to 1,300Mbps on the 5GHz band and 450Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. If you're looking for one of the best wireless routers with enough speed for HD streaming and even browsing on a few devices, TP-Link's Archer A7 gets the job done with no frills. Top features: Dual-band, 4 gigabit Ethernet ports, OneMesh.This is a great inclusion, whether you are looking to block inappropriate web content or simply set up limited internet hours to keep students on task. ASUS includes this software free of charge for the lifetime of the product. AiProtection comes with antivirus software powered by Trend Micro, as well as advanced parental controls. The thing that makes this a solid choice for families is Asus' AiProtection Classic software. Unfortunately, this router doesn't support Asus' AiMesh mesh expansion like the similar RT-AX55U but at a lower price, this is still a great pick with enough coverage for most homes. There are four open Ethernet ports on the back of the router for your wired devices as well.ĪSUS recommends this as one of the best wireless routers for large homes, and its array of four external antennas should be able to reach most of your home easily. Wi-Fi 5 devices won't get the full speeds, but you'll be ready when your family gets more Wi-Fi 6 capable devices. The 5GHz band can support a 1,201Mbps link, while the 2.4GHz band supports up to 574Mbps.

Sometimes, just re-adjusting the antennas can fix the problem and restore a full signal.Īlso, keep in mind that the higher you fly the quad the less communication interference you’ll face. You may have drastically better results by manually switching the drone to the clearest channel via the network screen on the ANAFI Freeflight 6 app, especially in urban areas where there is a lot of radio interference.Īnother way to quickly re-establish connection while in midair is to make sure you are pointing the antennas on your controller in the same direction as the drone. Normally, the ANAFI’s transmission system should automatically switch to the best wireless network channel available, but users report that even after several updates, the transmission continually does a poor job in completing this task automatically. However, when it comes to the ANAFI, the issue becomes further complicated by the quads lack of ability to properly switch channels. This is a common issue which affects many other WI-FI drones as well. When it comes to the ANAFI quad, Parrot opted for Wi-Fi radio technology, which makes the connection highly susceptible to interference creating a weak signal, especially in developed areas. You’re left standing there in a state of panic praying to the drone gods that the RTH home feature on the drone will save the day. You find yourself flying along capturing some great footage and then suddenly your screen begins to lag or becomes frozen, and before you know it, you’ve lost all connection to your drone. Let’s face it, losing connection to your quad midair is a scary situation. To add a light at the end of the tunnel, user-made aftermarket hardware is also available, depending on your issue. The good news is most common issues that arise with the Parrot ANAFI can be solved in a few simple steps. ![]() This can be a big problem if you own a Parrot ANAFI and find yourself needing a repair or spare part. ![]() ![]() Parrot also does not offer any after warranty or repairs on the ANAFI drone and replacement parts are scarce. Parrot released the ANAFI drone in 2018 and is no longer providing support. Let’s discuss some of the most common problems you may encounter with your Parrot ANAFI drone and how to fix them to get back in the air and more importantly, how to prevent the issues from happening in the first place. There’s nothing more disappointing than pulling your dusty ANAFI from the closet shelf excited to get some awesome footage only to realize something has gone wrong and you’re grounded. Some of the most common problems with the Parrot ANAFI are connectivity and range issues, parts availability, as well as a few hardware design flaws. However, the Parrot ANAFI does have some notable quirks and design flaws worth mentioning. ![]() This lightweight foldable drone comes with great 4K HDR capabilities and a 21-megapixel camera.ĭespite a few shortcomings and quirks, the Parrot ANAFI, which was released in 2018, is a good entry-level drone to capture some amazing aerial photos. The Parrot ANAFI is right up there in terms of quality and performance when it comes to consumer drones. ![]() ![]() ![]() In audio terms, this equates to 12dB of volume attenuation, just enough to get us to an average guitar output level. The Edcor PC10k/600 transformer included in the LINE2AMP kit has a turns ratio of 4.1:1, so the output signal is 4.1 times smaller than the input signal. If the turns ratio is 2:1, the voltage induced in the secondary will be half of that in the primary. Edcor PC10k/600 transformerĪ transformer reduces or increases the voltage of a signal in direct proportion to the turns ratio. Since the issue at hand is volume, let’s discuss voltage for the moment and leave current and impedance for later. 1) The grounds are isolated (which will be important for solving another reamping problem), and 2) the voltage, current, and impedance are transformed in proportion to the ratio between the number of turns of wire in the two coils (the “turns ratio”). ![]() From our point of view, two important things happen to between the input and output of a transformer. The alternating current running through the “primary” (input) coil creates a magnetic field which induces a corresponding voltage in the “secondary” (output) coil. ![]() A basic transformer such as the one we’re using consists of two coils of conductive wire wrapped around a magnetically permeable core, usually iron. Transformers operate according to a funny feature of our universe called “electromagnetism” by which a changing electrical field induces a changing magnetic field and vice-versa. To understand how we can use a transformer to attenuate the signal, let’s look at how transformers work. Modified and reused under the GNU Free Documentation License However, since we’re already using a transformer to address the other two problems of reamping, we might as well use it to reduce the voltage as well. The clear choice for attenuating voltage (“volume” in audio) in terms of cost and complexity is a couple of resistors set up as a voltage divider. So, in order to to mimic the output level of an average guitar, we need to attenuate our line-level signal somewhat before sending it to an amp. Guitar signals, on the other hand, vary between a few tens of millivolts rms to 1 Vrms or slightly more depending on the pickup. The nominal level for a professional line-level signals is +4dBu, or approximately 1.2 Volts rms. Let’s look at the ways a humble audio matching transformer can make reamping a consistent and transparent process.
![]() ![]() He tried to rape his virginal daughter, so She killed him. This story says that She was the daughter of Pallas, a winged giant. There was yet another version of the birth of Athena, one that is far less flattering to male divinity. If children did not bear their mothers’ names, if women were not full citizens, if women did not vote, why bother to legislate against it? But hidden in the legend of the Athenian vote are clues to Athena’s original identity. This Athena was ‘all for the father’ (as Aeschylus had Her say), who voted on the side of the new patriarchal order against the earlier system of mother right. They claimed that She was a virginal Goddess without sexuality, a motherless Goddess who sprang full-grown from the head of Zeus, who had swallowed Her mother, Metis. They then prepared a new identity for the city’s Goddess. But being poor losers, they levied three heavy requirements on the women: that they should forgo being called citizens, that they should no longer vote, and that their children should be called by their fathers’ rather than their mothers’ names. The men of Athens bitterly agreed to accept the Goddess as their patron. “Athena & Poseidon” by Rachael McCampbell (Patricia Telesco, “365 Goddess: a daily guide to the magic and inspiration of the goddess”.) By the time the olive decomposes, your desire should be showing signs of manifestation.įinally, place a small piece of oak leaf in your shoe today so Athena’s leadership and bravery will walk with you, helping you to face whatever awaits with a strong heart.” On a small piece of paper, write the word that best describes what you need from Athena. Or, use pitted olives as a spell component. ![]() ![]() Wearing a new piece of splendid clothing or adding olives to your diet today draws Athena’s attributes into your life. So, if you have any likeness of the Goddess, dust them off and adorn them in some way, perhaps using an oak leaf for a dress to honor Athena. The Greeks celebrated this Goddess by giving Her a new wardrobe today, making offerings and taking Her images out for cleansing. She is also the patroness of spinners and many other forms of craftspeople who work with their hands. Grecian art shows Athena bearing a spear, wearing a breastplate and accompanied by an owl. When you find your self-control lacking or you need the courage to withstand a storm, Athena stands ready to come to the rescue. Among the Greeks, especially those dwelling in Athens, Athena was the great protectress, standing for personal discipline and prowess, especially in battles. Her symbols are new clothing, olives, owls and the oak. “Athena’s themes are protection, victory, courage and leadership. The New Book of Goddesses and Heroines, “Doris”. Doris was mother to the fifty Nereids, including Thetis, who was the mother of Achilles, and Amphitrite, Poseidon‘s wife, and grandmother of Triton.” She was also aunt to Atlas, the titan who was made to carry the sky upon his shoulders, whose mother Clymene was a sister of Doris. She was the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys and the wife of Nereus. 106).Īccording to Wikipedia, “Doris , an Oceanid, was a sea nymph in Greek mythology, whose name represented the bounty of the sea. She was the mother of the Nereids and, possibly, Thetis” (p. Patricia Monaghan tells us that Doris is “an ancient, probable pre-Hellenic Goddess of the waters, She may have been the ancestor Goddess of the Dorians. (Patricia Telesco, “365 Goddess: a daily guide to the magic and inspiration of the goddess”.) Like a wave upon high tide, let your blessings here abide.’ ‘Doris, by this gift from your seas, draw abundance and wealth to me. Place the token in seawater for three hours by a waxing moon so that abundance will grow like the moon. To make a Doris charm that will draw abundance into any area of your life in need, find a seashell, a tumbled sea stone or something similar that comes from the ocean. Remember to thank Doris as you eat so that you internalize her providence. So people rush out with any containers they can find and gather up Doris’s plenty! For us, this equates to gathering up the sea’s plenty, figuratively, perhaps by having fish for dinner. When these three factors are in place an odd phenomenon occurs: bottom-dwelling fish get trapped between the shore and low-oxygen water. The Fairhope Jubilee takes place in Mobile Bay, Alabama, sometime in August when there’s an overcast sky, an easterly wind and a rising tide. She joins in today’s festivities by bringing an abundance of seafood to nourish the body, as well as spiritual sustenance to fulfill our souls. The daughter of Oceanus, this Grecian sea Goddess is associated with sea’s gifts and its wealth. Her symbols are seawater, plants and animals (especially fish). “Doris’ themes are abundance, providence and water. ![]() ![]() Spectrum Networks' sports properties include SportsNet and SportsNet LA Karen Male: We are constantly looking to help serve our community.
