![]() Second Apple flagship store in Latin America, Mexico City Picture of the street-facing side of the Apple Store in Changsha, ChinaĪpple has received numerous architectural awards for its store designs, and its "iconic" glass cube, designed in part by Peter Bohlin, at Apple's Fifth Avenue store in New York City, received a separate design patent in 2014. Historically, Apple has partnered with architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson in designing and creating its original retail stores, and has in recent years partnered with architectural firm Foster + Partners in designing its newer stores, as well as its corporate Apple Park campus. The New York Times wrote in 2011 that these features were part of then-CEO Steve Jobs' extensive attention to detail, and Apple received a design patent in 2002 for its glass staircase design. Several multi-level stores feature glass staircases, and some also glass bridges. Many Apple Stores are located inside shopping malls, but Apple has several stand-alone flagship stores in high-profile locations, such as the one located in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Overview Apple Fifth Avenue, one of Apple's flagship stores in New York City Apple's flagship Silicon Valley store, at Westfield Valley Fair in San Jose, California A May 2016 report with an anonymous retail employee highlighted a hostile work environment with harassment from customers, intense internal criticism, and a lack of significant bonuses for securing major business contracts. Apple Store employees receive above-average pay, are offered money toward education and health care, and receive product discounts however, there are limited or no paths of career advancement. Due to the popularity of the brand, Apple receives many job applications, many of which come from young workers. Apple's notable brand loyalty among consumers causes long lines of hundreds of people at new Apple Store openings or product releases. The success of Apple Stores has had significant influence over other consumer electronics retailers, who have lost traffic, control and profits due to perceived higher quality of service and products at Apple Stores. It has been granted design patents and received architectural awards for its stores' designs and construction, specifically for its use of glass staircases and cubes. Many Apple Stores are located inside shopping malls, but Apple has built several stand-alone flagship stores in high-profile locations. The new design will be applied to all Apple Stores worldwide, a process that has seen stores temporarily relocate or close. In addition to purchasing products, consumers can get advice and help from "Creative Pros" – individuals with specialized knowledge of creative arts get product support in a tree-lined Genius Grove and attend sessions, conferences, and community events, with Ahrendts commenting that the goal is to make Apple Stores into "town squares", a place where people naturally meet up and spend time. ![]() In May 2016, Angela Ahrendts, Apple's then-Senior Vice President of retail, unveiled a significantly redesigned Apple Store in Union Square, San Francisco, featuring large glass doors for the entry, open spaces, and rebranded rooms. Strong product sales have placed Apple among the top-tier retail stores, with sales over $16 billion globally in 2011. Apple has expanded the number of retail locations and its geographical coverage over the years, with 526 stores across 26 countries and regions worldwide, opening its latest store in the Battersea district of London, United Kingdom on June 15, 2023. The media initially speculated that Apple would fail, but its stores were highly successful, bypassing the sales numbers of competing nearby stores and within three years reached US$1 billion in annual sales, becoming the fastest retailer in history to do so. Jobs relaunched Apple's online store in 1997 and opened the first two physical stores in 2001. Seeing a need for improved retail presentation of the company's products, he began an effort in 1997 to revamp the retail program to get an improved relationship with consumers and hired Ron Johnson in 2000. ![]() The first Apple Stores were originally opened as two locations in May 2001 by then- CEO Steve Jobs, after years of attempting but failing store-within-a-store concepts. The stores sell various Apple products, including Mac personal computers, iPhone smartphones, iPad tablet computers, Apple Watch smartwatches, Apple TV digital media players, software, and both Apple-branded and selected third-party accessories. The Apple Store is a chain of retail stores owned and operated by Apple Inc. Apple & third-party software and accessories.

This steam is then fed into pistons whereby it expands and drives the locomotive’s rods (horizontal iron/steel shafts attached to the wheels), propelling it forward. Fuel (originally wood or coal, and then later oil) is fed into the firebox where the resulting hot gas enters boiler tubes, known as flues, which heat the surrounding water to form steam. ![]() The steam locomotive is relatively basic contraption. Over time C&A engineers upgraded the unit with several features commonly found on modern variants such as a cow-catcher, lead pilot truck, covered cab, and trailing tender (fuel storage to operate further between stops). It was originally designed as an 0-4-0, not unlike their other products from that period. The Camden & Amboy's John Bull, also the work of Robert Stephenson & Company, was another notable early locomotive.Ī testament to the high quality craftsmanship the Stephensons incorporated into their product the Bull remained in service from 1831 until 1866. Unfortunately, the locomotive also earned the sad distinction as being the first to suffer a boiler explosion, which occurred during June of 1831.Īs the story goes the fireman became vexed by its constant hissing noise and tightened the safety valve closed (he later died of his wounds). That honor is bestowed upon the South Carolina Canal & Railroad Company's Best Friend of Charleston, built by New York's West Point Foundry, when the 0-4-0 carried a train of paying customers on December 25, 1830. ![]() Since the Thumb was only an experiment, another locomotive was given recognition as the first American-built design to haul a revenue passenger train. While it did spend a year carrying passengers from time to time it never entered regular service and was later scrapped in 1834 (a replica is on display at the museum, constructed for the B&O's 1927 Fair of the Iron Horse and based from drawings Cooper had provided in 1875). The little one-ton coal-burner, featuring a vertical boiler, lost the bout (while carrying 30 patrons in a train consisting of a single coach) but had nevertheless proved its viability.Īccording to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum the locomotive was capable of speeds up to 15 mph. On August 28, 1830, Peter Cooper's Tom Thumb famously raced a horse on the fledgling Baltimore & Ohio. Unfortunately, its ultimate fate was rather unglamorous it proved too heavy for the track and languished in a shed before finally being scrapped in 1870.įollowing its trials American steam technology quickly advanced. The Lion went on to carry out test trials on August 8, 1829, earning it distinction as the first use of a steam locomotive in the United States. Unfortunately, due to circumstances never fully understood the America failed to reach the D&H property. They remain so well-liked that even Union Pacific maintains a small fleet for public relations. ![]() Today, preserved steam locomotives, both large and small, can be found throughout the country and their sustained popularity has led to numerous restorations. Unquestionably, American designs were the most powerful, particularly after the introduction of articulation, which led to enormous variants like the 2-6-6-6 "Allegheny," 4-6-6-4 "Challenger," and 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy." The argument persists to this day regarding whose were more impressive, American or British? Development In the succeeding years ever-larger types were conceived to handle increasingly greater demand. Its initiation here began in 1826 when Colonel John Stevens showcased his "Steam Waggon" (basically a steam-powered horse carriage) on a small circular track at his estate in Hoboken, New Jersey. ![]() It was largely responsible for driving the American industrial machine although has its origins in England, with the first patented version credited to Richard Trevithick and Andrew Vivian in 1802. Nothing else in railroading has ever been quite as alluring. Steam locomotives are impressive, captivating, ingenious, complex, and dangerous devices all wrapped within a single frame. ![]() 7, 2023.įatih Aktas/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images ![]() People watch preparations for the "Tribute in Light" ceremony that takes place each year to commemorate the 9/11 attacks in New York City, seen here on Sept.

Without deinterlacing original video, your encoded video will look like shit when there's something moving in the video, especially action scenes will look unwatchable. Converting Audio Files to Different File Formats. Watch out for interlacing, and to properly deinterlace video before encoding! Handbrake has a great deinterlacer, easy to set up. Please post your question on the third-party component forum. It's perfect for beginners who don't want to get into all this video/audio/codecs conundrum! Thankfully, Recode has presets, so you choose the final format and it does almost everything else for you. Webm usually contains Ogg or Opus audio multiplexed with a VPx video codec. For the latest version, there is a built-in web player in the program, you can directly download music without installing any external app. MP4 should contain only h.26x video and aac or mp3 audio codecs and it's the most recommendable AV format. UkeySoft Music Converter is a popular playlist downloader, it helps Spotify users quickly to download playlist and albums to computer, while also converting Spotify music to DRM-free MP3, M4A, WAV, and FLAC. ![]() Especially AVI and MKV can be really complicated to make properly, because they can contain several kinds of different video and audio codecs. Even the free version is absolutely usable, and it's a fully fledged, professional, multi-platform video editor.Ī word of advice, though: MP4, MKV, MOV, Webm, and AVI are container video formats that can contain a different kind of multiplexed audio and video codecs. ![]() Video to Audio Converter for Windows 10/11. If you need a video editor, you don't have to look any further then Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve. The Audio Converter for Windows 10 can convert audio between almost all formats including MP3, WMA, M4A, AAC, AC3, WAV, OGG, CAF, FLAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless ALAC, WAV, WMA lossless, QCP, VOC, SHC, M4A, AMR, etc. If you need a proper DVD to MP4 converter then Handbrake is the king regardless the GUI, and it's free, and multiplatform. I could try it in a few days since I have a micro usb to standard usb 2.0 converter. There is a successor to this really popular video editor called VirtualDub2 here. The Big Picture Photography Forum on Music Player Network. I personally use Recode and good old VirtualDub which can cut out unwanted scenes from a video losslessly, and encode video easily in a VBox VM Windows 7. If you need a simple "many formats" to "many formats" converter then I recommend " Xmedia Recode" which is very fast and easy to work with. THE SPACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER AND COLUMBIA ACCIDENTS The NASA Space Shuttle Disasters The space shuttle is one of the most complex engineered systems ever built. The second O-ring was added to the booster for the shuttle to provide an extra margin of safety since, unlike the Titan, this booster would be used for a manned space craft. The Titan booster had only one O-ring in the field joint. To prevent the hot gases from damaging the O-rings, a heat-resistant putty is placed in the joint. The O-rings are made from a type of synthetic rubber and so are not particularly heat resistant. The O-rings are designed to prevent hot gases from the combustion of the solid propellant from escaping. The joints are sealed by two O-rings, a primary and a secondary. These are tang and clevis joints, fastened with 177 clevis pins. А key aspect of the booster design are the joints where the individual cylinders come together, known as the field joints, illustrated schematically in Figure 1.1a. But he was ready to speak publicly.Chapter 1 Introduction 7 8 1.8 Case Studies APPLICATION cylinders were then shipped to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for assembly into a completed booster. He huddled in the corner of a couch, his arms tightly folded on his chest. When I visited him at his Utah home in April of 1987, he was thin, tearful and tense. The explosion of Challenger and the deaths of its crew, including Teacher-in Space Christa McAuliffe, traumatized the nation and left Boisjoly disabled by severe headaches, steeped in depression and unable to sleep. Until NPR's story, the special commission investigating the Challenger tragedy hadn't even interviewed all the engineers involved in the pre-launch debate. "Then, a few seconds later, the shuttle blew up. "And when we were one minute into the launch a friend turned to me and said, 'Oh God. So, when Challenger lifted off without incident, he and the others watching television screens at Thiokol's Utah plant were relieved. "We thought that if the seals failed the shuttle would never get off the launch pad," Boisjoly told Zwerdling. They overruled Boisjoly and the other engineers and told NASA to go ahead and launch. They told us that the NASA pressure caused Thiokol managers to "put their management hats on," as one source told us. These words and this debate were not known publicly until our interviews with Boisjoly and his colleague. "When do you want me to launch - next April?" "I am appalled by your recommendation."Īnother shuttle program manager, Lawrence Mulloy, didn't hide his disdain. "I am appalled," said NASA's George Hardy, according to Boisjoly and our other source in the room. But NASA officials on a conference call challenged that recommendation. At first, Thiokol managers agreed with them and formally recommended a launch delay. ![]() "We all knew if the seals failed the shuttle would blow up."Īrmed with the data that described that possibility, Boisjoly and his colleagues argued persistently and vigorously for hours. ![]() "We all knew what the implication was without actually coming out and saying it," a tearful Boisjoly told Zwerdling in 1986. I'm so torn up inside I can hardly talk about it, even now." ![]() Three weeks later, he told NPR's Daniel Zwerdling in an unrecorded and confidential interview, "I fought like Hell to stop that launch. NASA had never launched in temperatures that cold and Boisjoly and his four colleagues at Thiokol headquarters in Utah concluded it would be too dangerous too launch. On January 27, 1986, the forecast for the next morning at the Kennedy Space Center included a launch-time temperature as low as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. They tended to stiffen and unseal in cold weather and NASA's ambitious shuttle launch schedule included winter lift-offs with risky temperatures, even in Florida. ![]() The problem, Boisjoly wrote, was the elastic seals at the joints of the multi-stage booster rockets. Six months before the Challenger explosion, he predicted "a catastrophe of the highest order" involving "loss of human life" in a memo to managers at Thiokol. He found disturbing the data he reviewed about the booster rockets that would lift Challenger into space. Bulky, bald and tall, Boisjoly was an imposing figure, especially when armed with data. ![]() Instead, every time our user requests a conversion, we will ask a remote API for current exchange rates, and use them for conversion. As the exchange rates change frequently, it is impractical to have fixed rates stored locally and rely on them. We will build an "Currency Converter" application that converts an amount of one currency to an equivalent amount of other currency. A common approach is for the servers to offer an API, and for the Android apps to access data through that API. In this tutorial, we will learn to access data through a REST API, using the 'Retrofit' library. This is code snippet for the onCreate method.Many Android apps rely on remote servers to function, as in many cases it is not practical to have all the data locally. Head back to Java > and select MainActivity.įirst, you’ll find the onCreate method already created for you in the Main Activity Java file. Add Java Code Implementations in the MainActivity.java File We shall have something like the code below. Copy and paste it in your drawable folder (drawable is also under res).Īfter that, everything is complete for our activity_main.xml file. Note: You’ll have to download a sample image from Google. Use the code snippet below to add this piece of code to your Simple Currency Converter App. To make our application look nice, you may need to add some image widgets with an image placed below the button. Note: The on Click Method, convertToEuro, will be used in our Java code. Use the code snippet below to implement this. You can now add the button widget that a user clicks and converts the figures in an Edit Text widget to another currency. Note: Text hint allows Edit Text widget to show sample information or give a hint a user is required to add to this field or box. You can also implement the Edit Text widget in activity_main.xml using the code snippet below. This widget will allow a user to add a figure or currency that needs to be converted. You can implement this by adding the following code below to activity_main.xml file. We need to add a Text View with the text "Enter Currency in dollars," assuming we are doing a currency converter for converting dollars to euros. You can add Relative Layout to the activity_main.xml file by implementing the code snippet below. In this tutorial, we shall use Relative Layout to align our currency converter app widgets. ![]() Click Text to add the following piece of XML code. Go to res folder > Layout and select activity_main.xml. To create the interface below, you can simply copy and paste the source code below or follow some of these procedures to create this simple Currency Converter interface. We shall put all our Simple Currency Converter source code in activity_main.xml and the Java implementations in MainActivity.java. So, in this case, we shall create two files (in fact, Android Studio has already created them for you) the MainActivity.java and Activity_main.xml. You’ll have to wait until Gradle Sync is finished to continue with the tutorial. It’s now time we make our simple currency converter application. In Create a new empty Activity, simply continue with defaults and click Finish. You should always try to make Android applications compatible with the majority of the Android devices in the market.Ĭlick Next and Add an empty Activity to our Project. Just tick Phone and Tablet and select at least API 15: Android 4.0.3 (IceCreamSandwich). We are targeting this API because it powers at least 90% of all Android devices in the world. Once Android Studio has been fully launched, go to File > New and Create a new Project and name it Currency Converter App or anything you want.Ĭlick Next, then select the Form Factors and minimum SDK. You may need to wait until Gradle Sync is finished. This may take a while depending on the computer speed processor or RAM. Wait for a few minutes as Android Studio launches. Open Android Studio from Start Menu > All Programs or simply tap the icon on the desktop to get started. Simple Currency Converter Android App Example and How to Create It ![]() We assume all factors EW constant, you have Android Studio installed on your PC, and the environment has been properly set up.Īs such, in this tutorial, we are going to use Android Studio for our simple currency converter Android application. Java and Kotlin are now the most popular Android development languages, with the latter being the official programming language for making apps in Android Studio. ![]() We shall be using Java and at the same time to convert this application to Kotlin (if time allows). This tutorial will take you through a step-by-step process on how to create a simple currency converter app in Android studio. I have been working on a number of projects as of late and today I wanted to share with you some of them. The very first thing you can notice when you create a world is that there are 2 new bars. This can help you save some slots in inventory or in the Forge. This includes even some vanilla blocks and items. Most of these items and blocks that you can melt in the Forge you can scrap to their respective scrap items. In most cases, you can actually mix items with the same material in the input, or even combine more different materials to make alloys (for example copper + tin = bronze). 1 Mold slot (here comes the mold that is used in the "forging recipe").1 Fuel slot (accepts all fuel types that the Vanilla Furnace does accept - including modded fuels).4 Inputs slots (the things you want to melt goes there - for example, Scrap Iron). ![]() or you can get 0-2 Small Iron Pipes from breaking toilets. ![]() You can either make them using the Lathe. That is because one additional is used to craft the Bellows.īut how do you get them? Well, there are two options. The crafting recipe requires 6 x Small Rock, 1 x Small Iron Pipe and 1 x Bellows.Įven though there is only one Small Iron pipe used in the actual recipe, most likely you will have to find at least two of them. You can find it even in garbage piles, though the best place to look are bookshelves. You can unlock it by reading the Forge Ahead recipe book, which is fortunately the most common book in the mod. To be able to craft a Forge, you have to unlock the crafting recipe first. Forging is the only way to get some more advanced items (or at least - the easiest one, you still have some chances to find these items in loot.). Forging is done using a Forge, that acts as an advanced "furnace". so maybe you can even survive the night.įorging is a new mechanic in 7 Days to Mine, that basically replaces ore smelting in a Furnace from Vanilla Minecraft. You can upgrade wooden frames using your stone axe.īy building yor base you have really increased your chances on survival. You need a crafting table to craft wooden frames for building your first base. Then you can turn planks into a crafting table. When you have enough logs, you can craft planks from them. ![]() Now you can get wood from trees with a stone axe, with a bare hand it would take you ages to mine a single block. These you can use for crafting a stone axe and stone shovel. The guide will tell you to collect some small rocks, sticks and plant fiber. When you spawn for the first time, you will get a "Survival Guide", that will help you with first steps in the mod. Actually, even basic things like getting wood are changed. All other sites claiming to provide the download link are not offcicial and may be malicious.ħ Days to Mine is a mod, that changes a big part of Minecraft. You can find all download files here on Curseforge. You have to find a cure or else humanity will cease to exist.īut perhaps there is no way back. You have to gather food, water, and resources, build and fortify your base and fight zombies. 7 Days to Mine is a Minecraft mod, based on 7 Days to Die by The Fun Pimps, that takes you to a post-apocalyptic world. ![]() IPad Air 5 is great for reading and many other uses (Image credit: Future)Īpple's upper-mid-priced model, the iPad Air 5 is probably its most versatile tablet. However, none of these updates justify the $120 increase in price, if your primary use case will be e-reading. ![]() We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the 10th-generation iPad (2022), which has a slightly larger 10.9-inch screen, A14 chip, Liquid Retina Display, and other improvements over the 2021 model. ![]() The A13 Bionic chip inside the iPad (2021) is certainly powerful enough for digital reading and plenty of other tasks, making the 10.2-inch tablet a solid all-rounder with an attractive price. It also lacks the anti-reflective coating and P3 wide color, so bear that in mind. The display isn't as sharp as the iPad mini's and isn't fully laminated, meaning that there's an apparent air gap between the display's glass and the content on display. That 10.2-inch display does offer True Tone, so it will automatically adjust to ambient light to help your eyes out, which is ideal for readers. It's noticeably heavier than the iPad mini 6, though, at 1.07 pounds to the mini's 0.65 pounds so it won't be as comfortable to hold for long periods of time. The iPad offers a 10.2-inch display which is still on the smaller end of Apple's offerings, compared to the 10.9-inch, 11-inch, and 12.9-inch models offered in the Air and Pro lines, meaning this is still a more portable option. While it's certainly not aimed at pros, it offers a solid option for those wanting to spend as little as possible on an iPad-as-e-reader solution with a starting price of $170 off that of our top pick: iPad mini 6. The 9th-generation iPad (2021) is our budget pick (Image credit: Luke Filipowicz / iMore)Īpple's adjective-less iPad (2021) occupies the entry-level spot in its lineup. That means everything, but particularly text, looks super clear and sharp on-screen, making for a more pleasant reading experience. With a 2266x1488 resolution, it offers 326 pixels per inch. Less obvious, but arguably as important, is the fact that the iPad mini 6 has the most pixel-dense display of any current iPad model. It's a similar size to a paperback, and to other popular e-readers, so it will feel instantly familiar to those making the switch to an iPad. With an 8.3-inch display, it's the most compact iPad Apple sells and the easiest to hold for long periods of time. Firstly, and most obviously, is its size. Better yet, it packs all of the great new stuff into a form factor that is overall a tiny bit smaller than the fifth-generation model it replaced.įor keen readers, there are a few reasons why it features as our top pick. It is the most significant update to the iPad mini line since the first-generation model with a total design overhaul, larger display, huge power boost, and more. Launched in late 2021, the iPad mini 6 took a lot of folks by surprise.
