Once work is done extending the foundation along Fremont, crews are going to transfer 15 million pounds of weight onto the dozen piles along the west side of the tower, Hamburger said.Ĭomputer models designed to predict behaviorproject that the work will offset about 4.5 inches of lean at the northwest corner if all goes to plan.īut Harry Poulos, an internationally recognized tall building expert, stresses that even if the fix works as planned it will offset less than half the 10 inches of tilting caused during the fix work. Hamburger told residents he expects that just taking some weight off the building along Mission “would slow substantially, if not stop” more settlement, adding that preliminary data shows the early phase “has been successful and exceeded the engineering team’s projections.” Millennium Tower Fix Shifts to Hasten Completion Ultimately, the building will be tied to 18 piles already sunk to bedrock, six on Mission and the balance on Fremont Street. The goal for now, he said, is to stabilize the tower’s north side so crews can dig much more to extend the foundation along the west side of the structure along Fremont Street. That is about half the load the Mission Street piles will ultimately carry, he said. In an email update Saturday to residents of the building, lead fix engineer Ron Hamburger said three million pounds of the building’s weight along the Mission Street side is supported by six piles that extend down to bedrock on the north side. The high-rise is currently tilting more than 29 inches at the northwest corner, about a third of that lean occurring after construction began back in 2021 on work aimed at stabilizing the building. The association did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Guardian.San Francisco’s troubled Millennium Tower high-rise is now supported partially on one side to piles sunk to bedrock – bolstering that should assure the $100 million project will be completed without more sinking and tilting of the building, the fix’s lead engineer is telling residents. Shortly after work began, however, the sinking and tilting accelerated the building now has a tilt of 22 inches, NBC Bay Area reported.Ī spokesperson for the Millennium Tower Association told the San Francisco Chronicle that the building is safe, but that it would suspend work on the project out of caution while it works to better understand the issue. ![]() In May, crews started work on the perimeter pile upgrade project to install 52 concrete, 140,000lb piles to anchor the building to bedrock 250ft below ground.

![]() If ceding some "floor general" responsibilities to Brogdon will help Boston get back to the Finals, expect Smart to be on board.Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is the winner of the 2022-23 NBA Hustle Award. Smart is a fierce competitor who will win at all costs and has plenty of motivation after the Celtics fell short in the 2022 NBA Finals. We're forecasting a slight dip in Smart's scoring and assist averages but an improvement in his outside shooting as he gets more quality looks from opponents daring him to shoot. Projected stats: 11.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 5.6 apg, 1.5 spg, 41.0 percent FG, 35.0 percent 3PT (68 games)īrogdon's addition should help Smart be a more efficient player, even if his production drops a bit. Projected stats and prediction for Smart's 2022-23 season But don't be surprised if there are some rough patches early on, especially if Udoka experiments with playing Smart and Brogdon at the same time. ![]() But after essentially having full control of the offense last season, Smart will have to make a significant adjustment to accommodate Brogdon, a ball-dominant point guard who was used to running the offense in Indiana and Milwaukee.Īn abundance of point guard depth should be a good thing, especially when injuries inevitably crop up. Smart said all the right things about how he "love(d)" the Brogdon addition and believes the two can work together. Too many cooks in the point guard kitchen. If Smart can cut back on the misses - perhaps by picking his spots more in a deep Boston rotation - it will make the Celtics' offense that much more dangerous in 2022-23. Smart shot 36.4 percent from distance in 2018-19, so there's room for improvement in that category. Smart should get plenty of open looks this season, as teams may opt to let him shoot 3-pointers rather than tempt their fate with Tatum, Brown or recently-added sharpshooter Danilo Gallinari. So, if Boston needs points in crunch time, it's possible that head coach Ime Udoka turns to Brogdon at point guard while moving Smart to an off-ball role or taking him off the court altogether.Ĭeltics Talk: Meet the new guys: Exclusive interviews with Malcolm Brogdon and Danilo Gallinari (and Brad Stevens) | Listen & Subscribe | Watch on YouTube Late-game situations will be interesting to watch, as Brogdon is a better offensive player and a more steady ballhandler. What role will Smart play on the 2022-23 Celtics?īrogdon has insisted he's OK coming off the bench, so Smart still will be the team's starting point guard and the quarterback of the offense. Smart is under contract with Boston through the 2025-26 season. Smart is set to make $17.2 million in 2022-23 on the first year of a four-year, $76.5 million contract extension he signed with the team last August. We continue our Celtics player spotlight series by looking back on Smart's accomplishments last season and how he can raise his game entering next season. Does Brogdon's presence mean a smaller role for Smart? How will the two point guards coexist with Derrick White and Payton Pritchard in Boston's backcourt? Patriots in Week 15Ĭan Smart duplicate that success in 2022-23? It's a question worth asking now that point guard Malcolm Brogdon - who hasn't come off the bench in a game since 2018 - is in the fold. Chiefs will be without key offensive player vs. ![]() For this iteration Arturia’s designers have replaced eight of the encoders with four sliders, perhaps thinking to trade off the total number of controls for some versatility, and tick off more boxes for people shopping around.Įncoder count aside, the 3 has levelled up as a controller, gaining stand‑alone capabilities. Previous MiniLabs had 16 encoders and eight pads with a two‑octave mini‑keyboard. I had the white model and thought it looked like a cute tiny Mellotron that had sprouted controls, or the synth edition of Is it Cake? Don’t get me wrong: I think it’s a lovely form factor. The MiniLab 3 controller maintains roughly the same shape as the MkII, with its deep panel giving it the same footprint as a 15‑inch laptop. As well as the compact controller, MiniLab 3 comes with a pared‑down version of the sound suite, dubbed Analog Lab Intro. MiniLab is a portable and significantly more affordable alternative to the larger KeyLab master keyboards. Their Analog Lab V plug‑in deploys the engines of the mighty V‑Collection as a unified sound module that integrates with the keyboards. Meanwhile, those new to the Arturia ecosystem will need to pay an introductory price of $99, a considerable discount from the regular price of $199.Anyone fancy a versatile controller keyboard with the tip of the Arturia software iceberg included free?Īrturia’s Lab range marries hardware keyboard controllers with the company’s extensive soft‑synth portfolio. Producers can download a demo from Arturia’s website, and existing customers of Arturia products can take advantage of an introductory discount by logging into their accounts. ![]() Upon reviewing the plugin, MusicTech noted, “It’s squelchy and meaty and will certainly satisfy your acid cravings… a total winner and another triumph for Arturia.”Īrturia’s Acid V is compatible with both Windows and Mac in VST, AU, and AAX plugin formats. Furthermore, the Acid V also boasts an intuitive piano roll interface for seamless composition too!Īrturia’s Acid V has garnered positive attention from industry experts as the plugin’s advanced features, effects, and authenticity have been highlighted. The sequencer, which was a crucial element of the TB-303’s charm, receives a user-friendly overhaul too. This audacious approach aligns with Acid V’s core philosophy of movement, expression, and experimentation and empowers musicians to create polymetric sequences and scale-based patterns.īeyond its faithful replication, Acid V introduces modern tweaks and enhancements like a versatile sub-oscillator for additional low-end depth. Arturia’s plugin amplifies the inherent sonic potential of the TB-303, offering a host of advanced effects to craft a sound that’s deeper, darker, and more impactful than the original. What sets Acid V 303 apart is its innovative approach to effects. But where Acid V truly shines is in its transformation of the classic sound. The synth’s hallmark features, like sawtooth and square waveform selection, slides, accents, and scale changes are at the forefront. ![]() Now, this new synth stands as a tribute to the revered TB-303 with painstakingly accurate component-level modelling. ![]() However, the surprising twist is that Acid V goes beyond replication and propels the classic sound into uncharted experimental territory.Īrturia’s expertise in recreating vintage synths is well-established, and Acid V is no exception. Arturia has unveiled yet another analog emulation with the release of its Acid V synth VST.`Ĭapturing the distinctive essence of the iconic Roland TB-303, Arturia’s new bassline synthesizer brings the instrument that played a pivotal role in shaping the acid house genre to our DAWs. ![]() We needed a small bead so it was really nice that we could snip off the tip easily and very close to the narrow end. So we got the one for small projects and repairs and the "5" is finally staying put. My husband uses Liquid Nails on his construction sites for pretty much everything. He tried several adhesives, but it still fell off really easy. Unfortunately, he could never get the "5" to stay in place because the pin is very short. My dad is 83 and the piece is very special. The "5" and "0" were cut out of marble and mounted to a stone base. White Latex Adhesive on a marble piece my dad made me for my 50th birthday. We used Liquid Nails Small Projects and Repairs 4 oz. WHITE LATEX ADHESIVE will help you keep it together, or just make your yard interesting. LIQUID NAILS SMALL PROJECTS AND REPAIRS 4 OZ. Because it's a smaller tube you don't have to commit to a big old tube of adhesive sitting on the shelf for the next six months. It would have to be cleaned well after using it. ![]() It comes with a long tapered attachment nozzle that screws on for getting into tight spots. Because the tube is in a plastic shell package they don't have to seal the tube so you don't have to puncture it. The product comes out of the tube nicely. One time I used this stuff to put a piece of moulding on a wall, but that was my other house and I don't have a picture. So now it's there on the junkwall and it looks like a bird. I put it up there, clamped it down and waited 24 hours. I started to stick it up then realized if it was on the edge it could still be used as a clipper. Finding a piece of junk was easy since I'm kind of a hoarder. WHITE LATEX ADHESIVE to stick something on my junkwall that hides a firewood pile. So I decided to use the LIQUID NAILS SMALL PROJECTS AND REPAIRS 4 OZ. I promised to do this review and include a picture but I couldn't think of anything I needed to stick together. I waited a few days before removing the clamps and testing their bonding strength. I tested them after about 20 minutes and they were firmly joined. I applied adhesive to both strips and then clamped them together. The adhesive has very little odor.Īs a test of bonding strength, I used the adhesive to join two short strips of plywood. It flows easily from the tube, and the 20-minute set time allows plenty of working time. The adhesive appears white in sunlight but has a slight tan overtone when viewed indoors. This adhesive has worked well for me as a substitute for nailing molding. It’s sometimes very difficult to fasten a short length of molding to baseboard using a nail. In particular, it works well for fastening short pieces (1 to 2”) of quarter round or shoe molding to baseboard. My overall impression after using the LN-700 white latex adhesive is that it’s a first-rate bonding agent for small gluing jobs and repairs. This is the first time I’ve tried their latex adhesive. I’ve used Liquid Nails (resin-based) construction adhesive for many years to glue and fasten various building materials–mostly dimensional lumber and plywood.

![]() At $15 they’re dirt cheap and can sometimes be quite handy, and can reduce (but not replace) the need for a full macro lens. I also carry a set of Movo extension tubes. I will probably add a 10 stop to this mix at some point. Way cheaper than buying multiple sets sized to different lens openings. If you intend to buy a set of filters I suggest buying a single set of really good ones for your lens with the largest diameter, and then step-up rings to attach them to the others. The step up rings screw on to the lenses (but don’t stay on, unlike the ring on the main lens) and then the lenses snap on to that. I also picked up two step up rings, so I can use these filters on all three lenses as needed. The engineering is impressive, and I’m going to be curious about the image quality. You attach a very tiny connecting ring onto the lens, and then through the magic of magnets, these snap on and off quite nicely. This set includes a Polarizer, 3 stop and 6 stop. ![]() I made one big upgrade to the bag for this trip: I replaced my existing filter set with Kase Revolution filters. But it’s not something I’m planning at this point. If I were to consider an addition, it’d be a macro lens of some sort, perhaps in the 90-100mm range. It’s a nice, light lens, well built, but the super wide angle images have never really become part of my normal imaging, and I keep telling myself I need to put more effort into it (but honestly, I’m a bird photographer who more dabbles in landscape these days). It’s going to be a goal of this trip to put some effort into that. I haven’t used it enough to really be able to visualize compositions well, and I haven’t spent enough time to figure that out. It has decent close up capabilities but isn’t a macro, but it does take to extension tubes well. This is my Birding/Wildlife lens, and I probably use it 90% of the time. Sony 100-400 F4.5-5.6 with a 1.4X Teleconverter attached. I really like this more than most L-brackets it’s low profile and not bulky, unlike some others I tried it doesn’t muck up access to the battery or cable areas, and the vertical L part swings out of the way and attaches below when you don’t need it, something I haven’t seen in any other L-bracket, but which is amazing in use. The only downside to my shift from Fuji gear to Sony is size and weight, but I’ve come to appreciate the larger sensor (more cropping without losing detail) and the autofocus on uncooperative subjects like flying birds is much better. My camera kit is built around the Sony A7 IV, which I’m really liking. The Shimoda might seem pricey, but the build quality is superb and I have no complaints.

The most common methods are mechanical methods, such as cutting with guillotine knives, circular knives, high-speed blades or punching with dies. Once the steel is worked and ready, the batch is cut to fit order requirements. This is followed by repeated annealing phases until achieving the desired properties. Removing this scale is essential to creating the oxide barrier that gives stainless it’s characteristic corrosion and stain resistance.ĭescaling or pickling removes this scale using either acid baths (known as acid pickling) or through controlled heating and cooling in an oxygen free environment.ĭepending on the final product, the metal might return to rolling or extruding for further processing. It can also impact the stain-resistance, durability and weldability of the steel. This accumulation isn’t simply unattractive. Descaling or PicklingĪs steel is worked through the various steps, it often accumulates scale on the surface. The exact temperatures and times involved will depend on the grade of steel, with both heating and cooling rates impacting the final product. These cycles help to soften steel and relieve internal stress. This involves controlled heating and cooling cycles. AnnealingĪfter rolling, most steel undergoes an annealing process. However, it can also deform the steel’s structure and often requires heat treatment to recrystallize the steel to its original microstructure. This process creates a more attractive, uniform finish. Multiple supported rollers are used to shape the steel. Often used when precision is required, cold rolling occurs below the recrystallization temperature of the steel. In most cases, this will involve rolling through multiple mills over time to achieve the desired thickness. The process uses repeated passes to adjust the dimensions of the steel slowly. Precise temperature control throughout the process keeps the steel soft enough to work without altering the structure. Performed at temperatures higher than the recrystallization temperature of the steel, this step helps to set the rough physical dimensions of the steel. Blooms and billets become bars and wires.ĭepending on the grade or format ordered, a steel might go through some of these steps multiple times to create the desired appearance or characteristics. The exact shape and dimensions will depend on the final product.įorms are then marked with an identifier to track the batch through the various processes to follow.įrom here steps will differ depending on the intended grade and final product or function. With the molten steel created, the foundry must now create the primitive shape used to cool and work the steel. Adjustments are then made until the mixture meets the required standard. This ensures that the metal meets requirements for its intended grade and that the steel’s composition is consistent throughout the batch. Step 3: TuningĪfter reducing carbon, a final balancing and homogenization of temperature and chemistry occurs. A vacuum then removes vented gases from the chamber, further reducing carbon content.īoth methods offer precise control of carbon content to ensure a proper mixture and exact characteristics in the final stainless steel product. In this method, molten steel is transferred to another chamber where oxygen is injected into the steel while heat is applied. The other method used is Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization (VOD). Injecting an argon gas mixture into the molten steel reduces carbon content with minimal loss of other essential elements. The first is through Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD). There are two ways foundries control carbon content. However, too much carbon can create problems-such as carbide precipitation during welding.īefore casting molten stainless steel, calibration and reduction of carbon content to the proper level is essential. Step 2: Removing Carbon ContentĬarbon helps to increase the hardness and strength of iron. ![]() This helps to not only control costs but reduce environmental impact.Įxact temperatures will vary based on the grade of steel created. Using high-power electrodes, the EAF heats the metals over the course of many hours to create a molten, fluid mixture.Īs stainless steel is 100% recyclable, many stainless orders contain as much as 60% recycled steel. Manufacturing stainless steel starts with melting scrap metals and additives in an electric arc furnace (EAF). How a grade of steel is shaped, worked and finished plays a significant role in determining how it looks and performs.īefore you can create a deliverable steel product, you must first create the molten alloy.īecause of this most steel grades share common starting steps. The exact process for a grade of stainless steel will differ in the later stages. ![]() ![]() There is also an independent 100% analogue stereo distortion effect. While the effects themselves are digital, with 24-bit, 48kHz resolution, a true bypass maintains a full analogue signal path. The dual effects section offers studio-quality reverbs, delays (standard and BBD), chorus and a phase shifter. I wasnt sure about the Sequential Take 5 when it was first announced as I already have a number of their Synths, so a Cut Down version wouldnt really add anything.

Hi guys, after making some Patches with the Sequential Take 5 and sharing the demos I decided to do a Video Review & Demo. sequential deglucosylation and reduction reactions to rheinanthrone, which. There are two discrete filters per voice: a four-pole resonant low-pass filter inspired by the original Prophet-5 filter and a two-pole resonant high-pass filter. The five-voice instrument is equipped with a pleasantly playable, velocity-sensitive 44-key keyboard from Fatar and furthermore has channel aftertouch. Continuously variable waveforms provide the tonal palette with triangular, sawtooth and variable-width impulse waves. With the Take 5 Sequential presents a polyphonic analog synthesizer with an assertive sound and some finesse. He discusses the synth's build, synthesis capabilities, and how it fits into the Sequential lineup. The result is a pure, seamless analogue sound with the stability and reliability of a modern, state-of-the-art synth.Īt the heart of the Prophet-6's warm, punchy sound are its two new discrete oscillators (plus a sub-oscillator) per voice. Nick Batt takes a look at the new Sequential Take 5 synthesizer, a compact and versatile instrument with two VCOs, a filter, a sub oscillator, and a premium Fatar keybed. It can get aggressive, but it never gets. On the contrary, as Dave says, "It's the result of our efforts to build the most impressive modern analogue synth possible." Prophet-6 takes the best qualities of the original Prophet-5: real oscillators, filters and amplifiers, and adds enhancements such as studio-quality effects, a polyphonic step sequencer, arpeggiator, and much more. Its full and lush with a great smoothness and touch of warmth to its tone. But it's not just a reissue of a classic. Prophet-6 is Dave Smith's tribute to the poly synth that started it all: the Sequential Prophet-5. |
