![]() ![]() Therefore, if you want to tune a tom to produce a “G”, you *don’t* tune the batter to a G and the reso to whatever note you feel will give you the resonance you need (more tension –> less resonance), like I used to think. Things I found out in the last week (some are very basic, but bear with me):ġ) The note that an outside listener perceives when you hit a tom (what they call the “fundamental note” of that drum) is actually a combination of the tension of both the batter and resonant heads. After finally getting it right, I thought I’d come back here and give those of you still interested a (final?) update on the whole process. ![]() So I did some research online and figured out what was happening. And when one head seemed to finally be in tune, the opposite head would start acting up and it was back to square one. For a couple of “tuning sessions” my 2 phone tuning apps seemed to go berserk and give frequency readings all over the place, making it impossible to tune the drums. ĪNYWAY, I WILL POST THE FINAL NOTES FOR MY TOMS/SNARE/BASS WHEN I’M ALL DONE.Īfter I had my little epiphany with the tuning apps and happily rode into the sunset feeling I had finally mastered the fine art of drum tuning I hit a wall and everything seemed to stop working (ain’t it always the case?). Once the drum is tuned, write down the lug frequency of each head for future reference, and you’re set. It’s really easy to figure out which notes to aim for in each drum and how to tune the batter heads with respect to the reso heads. Maybe the iPhone version of Idrumtech is different.).Īnyway, with those apps and the following document: I also downloaded Drumalyzer, a free android app that works even better (in the sense that, with my phone, idrumtech seems to be all over the place when reading frequencies you have to tap the head a bunch of times before you are reasonably certain of the reading. For 3 bucks, it’s a steal compared to dedicated tuners like TuneBot (I haven’t tried it, but apparently they work about the same). I downloaded the Android app that Starship Krupa mentioned (THANKS again): Idrumtech. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I THINK I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Īfter much hair-pulling and wasted time, it turns out that there is a simple, cheap, scientific and repeatable way to tune drum sets: WE SHOULD SPREAD THE WORD ( REALLY) Once it's tuned up, of course, touch-ups are much quicker. IDrumTune is great because it has a spectrum view to help sort out harmonics and overtones, iDrumTech is great because it has lots of cool features, including a library of drum kit settings.Įven with all this, it still takes me the better part of an hour to dial in a drum from scratch (both heads slack). The last two are available for Android as well. There are three of them that I've tried, iDrumTune, iDrumTech, and Drum-tuner. I can't figure out how anyone can tune to a target note without one of these, unless their pitch perception is much better than mine. The next thing that really helped was using a tuning app with my iPod Touch. I start with that and then get the head in tune with itself, all the lugs even. ![]() That's a good way to get started, and I still use it to make sure I'm starting with the rim on flat rather than cocked to one side. The first thing that really helped was learning the JAW (just above wrinkle) quick-and-dirty method promoted by Rob Brown in his YouTube videos. I started out trying to tune to actual notes, and that was a fiasco. It's like so much else with drums, I had to learn to crawl before I could walk or run. Tuning drums is something I had no idea was so difficult to get good at.

![]() One possible reason this map did not reflect the final results: correct county-level results data can take a long time to come in. While the map on Galka’s personal blog may have been updated – the map in his article has the correct colors for each county – the map on Huffpost is incorrect. The blog post was republished on HuffPost in December 2016. The map was part of an article, by Max Galka, that examines how electoral maps usually don’t provide enough information to show just how many people voted in each precinct. Where the inaccurate map might have come fromĪs Twitter user Loren Collins noted on Tuesday, it appears that the county-by-county map shared by the President was initially published less than two weeks after the election on a personal blog dedicated to data visualization. Clinton earned about 3 million more votes than Trump even though he won far more counties. Specifically, they do not distinguish between a county with millions of residents and a county with a few thousand. ![]() And it was far from the first time that Trump has tweeted information from others without verifying it himself.Īs numerous analysts have pointed out when Trump has previously touted county-level maps, such maps provide incomplete information. It was also not the first time Trump has displayed an inaccurate county-by-county election map he also displayed one in early 2018. The Clinton-won counties the map wrongly shows as Trump-won counties include Orange County, California Washoe County, Nevada Lake County, Minnesota Gallatin County, Montana and Whitman County, Washington. But it is not correct.įacts First: The map the Trumps tweeted inaccurately displays multiple blue counties won by Hillary Clinton as red counties won by Trump. The Trumps seemingly did not produce this map themselves – it appears it was published in 2016 on HuffPost, a website usually critical of the President. The words “Try to impeach this” were plastered across the middle. The map purported to show county-by-county results map of the 2016 election, filled with red for counties Trump supposedly won. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted a map his daughter-in-law Lara Trump had shared on Saturday. Similarly, within KEYNOTE-407, pembrolizumab plus platinum/taxane demonstrated improved ORR (57.9% vs. 48%), PFS (HR 0.62, P<0.001) and OS (HR 0.78, P=0.02) for non-squamous NSCLC patients regardless of PD-L1 staining when compared to carboplatin plus paclitaxel plus bevacizumab ( 12). In IMpower150, the regimen of ABCP also demonstrated improved ORR (63.5% vs. 18.9%, P<0.001), PFS and OS (HR 0.49, P<0.001) than platinum/pemetrexed across non-squamous NSCLC patients with any level PD-L1 staining (including PD-L1 negative patients) ( 10). In KEYNOTE-189, pembrolizumab plus platinum/pemetrexed had better ORR (47.6% vs. For patients lacking EGFR activating mutations/ ALK fusions these chemo-immunotherapy combinations improved efficacy outcomes compared to platinum-based chemotherapy ( 10- 12). Following this, both atezolizumab plus bevacizumab plus carboplatin plus paclitaxel (ABCP) and pembrolizumab plus histology dependent chemotherapy were compared to platinum-based chemotherapy in randomized phase III trials. Subsequently, KEYNOTE-024 demonstrated that for advanced/metastatic NSCLC patients with PD-L1 ≥50% on TCs by the 22-C3 immunohistochemistry assay and lacking EGFR activating mutations/ ALK fusions that pembrolizumab had a significantly greater objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and OS when compared to platinum-based doublets as first-line therapy ( 8, 9).īecause of KEYNOTE-024, multiple regulatory agencies and guideline panels approved pembrolizumab monotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed advanced/metastatic NSCLC, PD-L1 ≥50% on TCs and lacking EGFR activating mutations/ ALK fusions. In each of these second-line trials patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations did not benefit from PD-1 axis inhibitors when compared to docetaxel, with data on any included ALK rearranged patients not detailed ( 4- 7). Within KEYNOTE-010, patients with PD-L1 ≥50% on tumor cells (TCs) administered pembrolizumab had a greater magnitude of benefit compared to docetaxel than patients with PD-L1 of 1–49% ( 6). In each of these trials, there was an OS benefit when comparing the respective PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor to docetaxel ( 4- 7). ![]() ![]() Subsequently, randomized phase III trials comparing atezolizumab, nivolumab or pembrolizumab to docetaxel as second-line therapy were conducted in NSCLC. Prior to the advent of inhibitory antibodies targeting programmed death 1 (PD-1) or programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), the median overall survival (OS) for advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving first-line platinum doublet chemotherapy was approximately 8–12 months and 5-year survival rates were estimated at 2% ( 1- 3).

Red-shouldered Hawk Red-Shouldered Hawkĭistinctively marked Buteo with a characteristic whistle call found across the watery woodlands of Maine. While Red-tailed Hawks are called “Chickenhawks” (with Cooper’s Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk), Red-tails don’t hunt or eat chickens. Hollywood doesn’t think that Bald Eagles sound “eagle-y” enough, so the ordinary Red-tailed Hawk call is the substitute of choice for the more regal eagle a majority of the time.Ī Red-tail won’t hit the birds at your feeders, but it may be tempting to take off with your little yappy Yorkie or Chihuahua (they can carry up to about 5 pounds). Watching a movie and an eagle comes screaming from a mountaintop? That’s not an eagle. These birds have huge, long talons – so keep your distance, please. And since this species can be found nesting in tall trees or even suburban areas, If you get too close, there’s a good chance that you’ll be dive-bombed. Red-tailed Hawks are very aggressive when it comes to defending their nests and their territories. They are quite robust, which is why Great Horned Owls will often take them over once the Red-tailed chicks have fledged and left. These are tall (up to 6 feet) structures constructed from dry sticks. Look for Red-tailed nests high up in the trees, where they have a commanding view over their territory. Sometimes they will hunt in pairs, coasting in tight circles opposite each other. Red tails are often seen circling on the thermals in search of small mammals and snakes, with game birds such as pheasants and quail also included in their diet. No belly band – look at the other Buteos on this list. While their red tails are the best field mark for this bird, the tails of juvenile or immature hawks are brown, making the ID more difficult. That red tail is so prominent that even if you’re looking up at the bird, the reddish tail can still be visible in most light. Adults are brown above, with that unique red tail. ![]() Seen from below, this is a pale bird with a dark “belly band”, dark fingers (wingtips), and edges of their flight feathers. You’ll find the eastern version of the Red-tailed Hawk, known as “Red-tailed Hawk” all over Maine, as most of the subspecies are found west of the Mississippi River. Red-tails come in 14 subspecies, all with different plumages. Pandionidae has only one member – the fish-eating Osprey. While Falcons are also accipiters, they are not hawks and will be covered in another one of our articles. Eastern Screech Owls, for example, come in three morphs – brown, grey, and red.Īccipiters are fast-moving birds with short, broad, rounded wings and long tails that make it easy for them to maneuver during flight. Light morphs are paler than “normal” birds. Morphs are typically lighter or darker versions of the normal feather hue.Ī dark morph Rough-legged hawk looks just like the field guide bird but is darker overall. This color difference is called a “morph”. While most raptors have a specific color to their feathers, Buteo hawks can have variations in that overall plumage. While Buteos are called “hawks” here in the US and Canada, they are known as “buzzards” throughout the rest of the world. The hawks found in Maine are broken down into three separate families: Buteos, Accipiters, and Pandionidae.īuteos are large raptors with short, wide tails, broad wings, and heavy, solid bodies.

Of these migrant raptors, the Northern Goshawk is the only year-round resident, with the Red-Tailed Hawk now being seen all year in southern Maine. Most of the hawks seen in Maine are seasonal visitors. While Cooper’s Hawks are larger overall than the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper’s male can be the same size as a Sharp-shinned female. ![]() This can make determining what you’re viewing problematic with some species, like the Coopers and Sharp-shinned. ![]() When identifying raptors, know that females are much larger than males. Owls are primarily nocturnal and hunt mostly at night. They are also referred to as Raptors (from the Latin “rapture” – to seize and carry off).Īll of these raptors with the exception of owls are diurnal, meaning that they hunt during the day. Hawks are part of a group known as Birds of Prey, which consists of hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, condors, and vultures. This is a listing of 9 species of hawks that can be found in Maine.

The bamboo palm ( Chamaedorea seifrizii) grows up to around 1.52m (5ft) and will create a fun, jungle feel in your home. The ponytail palm, bamboo palm and Parlor palm in particular are impressive cat-friendly plants. Most palms are non-toxic to cats and make nice large, indoor plants as they won’t suffer too much if neglected. This plant doesn’t need a lot of attention and won’t mind attention from your cat as it’s non-toxic and can survive anything. The cast iron plant ( Aspidistra elatior) can grow up to 61cm (2ft) and makes an ideal standalone pot plant for people who want to add some green space to their homes, but don’t have a lot of time to care for them.

Your furry friend may be attracted to the scent of roses ( Rosa), but most won’t enjoy the taste of eating them or the thorns. Plus, it is non-toxic to cats so you’ll have a happy home and pet. The African violet ( Saintpaulia) thrives at similar temperatures to humans in indirect sunlight with slightly moist soil. This houseplant is popular because its flowers are able to bloom all year round in beautiful shades of purple, as well as blue, pink, red and white. While foliage will add lush greenery and a tropical vibe to your home, these five flowering plants are safe for cats and will add a spot of colour and femininity. Keep them in indirect light and moist soil. They are not toxic, but can lead to mild vomiting and diarrhea if ingested so they’re better kept somewhere inaccessible. This plant is another great option for a hanging basket. The baby’s tears’ ( Soleirolia soleirolii) tiny, round cascading leaves give it its name.

The GNOME screen recorder, as you would expect, is very well integrated with the GNOME shell. ![]() Yet, it’s a little-known fact that GNOME desktop has a built-in screen recorder. This will only add to GNOME’s popularity considering Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distro. Ubuntu 17.10 was the first version of Ubuntu to ditch Unity in favor of GNOME, and recently, with Ubuntu 18.04 Canonical has completely switched to GNOME. If you want to join in the fun, and you already have the GNOME desktop you don’t even need to install a screen recording app. You may have seen YouTube videos of users sharing a screencast of their Ubuntu or Linux desktops. Below, we’ll see how we can use this screen recorder in Ubuntu. But how about you don’t go looking for screen recording apps at all? GNOME is one of the most popular Linux desktop environments, and it also has a built-in GNOME screen recorder. When you’re looking for a good screen recorder it can get confusing. There are plenty of screen recording apps to choose from ranging from amateur projects to professional-grade tools. Linux may not be as popular as some other desktop operating systems but it still has plenty of apps for just about anything. ![]() If you downloaded the ROM from a website, it may have come packed within a ZIP file.

The Benchmark Summary below shows the average of throughput measurements made in all test locations. The 0° position had the front of the router facing the chamber antennas. The closest surface of the router was positioned 8″ from the chamber antennas in 0° and 180° test positions. 20 MHz B/W mode was set for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz was set in 80 MHz bandwidth mode. The router was first reset to factory defaults and Channel 6 was set for 2.4 GHz and Channel 153 for 5 GHz. (The "neighboring" network for these tests is on Channel 11.)įor throughput testing, all tests were run using our standard wireless test process and 3.0.0.4.374.134 version firmware loaded. For the Fat Channel test, the router switched to 20 MHz link rate immediately when bit was enabled but stayed at 20 MHz link rates when bit was disabled.įor the 40 MHz coexistence test, it switched immediately to 20 MHz link rates when set to Channel 8 and back to 40 MHz mode when moved back to Channel 6. It looks like WPS can only be used on one band at a time.īeing Wi-Fi certified, it’s no surprise that the RT-AC56U passed both the Fat Channel Intolerant test as well as the 40 MHz coexistence test. This appears to be due to router setting. In the WPS test, the Windows 7 client prompted for and completed pushbutton session on 2.4 GHz radio. The router comes with different 2.4 and 5 GHz SSIDs set, so you’ll be able to connect to your desired band without having to change router settings. The 2.4 GHz radio defaulted to Auto 20/40 MHz Channel width, while the 5 GHz radio defaulted to 80 MHz. It defaulted to Auto channel mode on both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios upon power-up. Clearly, hardware acceleration makes a huge difference. Total average throughput with hardware acceleration disabled dropped to 293.7 Mbps. Uplink averaged 324.8 Mbps and the downlink averaged 303.7 Mbps. The unidirectional tests with hardware acceleration disabled (not shown) also yielded a very stable flat plot, but the performance was significantly lower. Those tests were run with hardware acceleration enabled, which is the default setting. The 95% confidence level showed a significantly larger interval than was seen in the unidirectional tests. Note that the average numbers uplink was 701.5 Mbps with downlink averaging 555.9 Mbps. The RT-AC56U favored the LAN to WAN performance. The simultaneous up/downlink tests show a significant amount of variation in both the LAN to WAN as well as the LAN to WAN speeds. Looking at the plots, you can see very little variation with a very low 95% confidence level. However, for total simultaneous throughput, the RT-AC56U topped the charts at 1251.4 Mbps – more than 200 Mbps faster than the second place winner, the D-Link DIR 860L.įor the unidirectional tests, the IxChariot chart below shows steady throughput at almost the same level.
