![]() As always Rapala lures have a quality paint job and I am liking that they have started bringing the price of their lures down a bit. I would say the best use for this lure is as a search lure in the summertime to cover large areas of water without sacrificing action when running it quickly. Also the retrieve speed can be fast or slow. The lip should make this lure unpredictable in it’s swim pattern and let it change direction quickly and randomly. It is supposed to have a built-in triggering mechanism that adds a revolutionary evasive action perfect for casting or trolling. “Perfect for trolling and able to attract a wide variety of gamefish, the Scatter Rap Deep Husky Jerk offers design features anglers love about the original Husky Jerk, but with an added bonus - a custom Scatter Lip that helps the bait consistently swim with an erratic and evasive sweeping action - perfectly mimicking vulnerable baitfish.”īasically Rapala added a scatter rap lip to the Husky Jerk lure which will give it more erratic action.

![]() His love for detailed research-as it seems to me-was the reason that in almost all the Manuscripts, the different paragraphs appear to us to be in utter confusion on one and the same page, observations on the most dissimilar subjects follow each other without any connection. The vast structure of his scientific theories is consequently built up of numerous separate researches, and it is much to be lamented that he should never have collated and arranged them. Leonardos literary labours in various departments both of Art and of Science were those essentially of an enquirer, hence the analytical method is that which he employs in arguing out his investigations and dissertations. This is proved not merely by the prices which they commanded, but also by the exceptional interest which has been attached to the change of ownership of merely a few pages of Manuscript. It is certain that during the XVIth and XVIIth centuries their exceptional value was highly appreciated. To us, now, it seems almost inexplicable that these valuable and interesting original texts should have remained so long unpublished, and indeed forgotten. Vasari says, and rightly, in his Life of Leonardo, "that he laboured much more by his word than in fact or by deed", and the biographer evidently had in his mind the numerous works in Manuscript which have been preserved to this day. Nevertheless, no other picture of the Renaissance has become so wellknown and popular through copies of every description. Two of the three most important were never completed, obstacles having arisen during his life-time, which obliged him to leave them unfinished namely the Sforza Monument and the Wall-painting of the Battle of Anghiari, while the third-the picture of the Last Supper at Milan-has suffered irremediable injury from decay and the repeated restorations to which it was recklessly subjected during the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. Put together all notes and drawings of Da Vinci as found, not need reordered.Ī singular fatality has ruled the destiny of nearly all the MOST FAMOUS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI'S WORKS. I'll also try and include my own commentary and more modern information relating to his works.This new Great collection of his art and notes from Cheapest Books. Eventually I would like to be able to include an image of the actual page and translations into various languages. Unfortunately I am not able to understand his writing style, let alone read Italian if I could, and will rely on the English translations. We'll start with his intro's and the books/subjects he intended to write and then get into them themselves. All of those aspects are present on almost every page of Leonardo's Written works - not to mention the sketches and doodles. There is a difference between Notebooks, Journals, Books, and creative brainstorming. I'll do my best to put them in some kind of order but much of the quotes on similar subjects were written years apart, sometimes new stuff was written on old pages, and sometimes it was as if an idea came to him and he just scribbled on the nearest paper with no notes about when or why it was written. They are doodles, scribbles, random thoughts, and creative ideas from a genius - but complicated mind. This is because they are more like proto-rough drafts and jumbled and random writings and not a clear cut vision for an actual book. ![]() He left most to his assistant Melzi, but after that they were spread around from Country to Country, person to person, collection to collection, and while there have been some attempts to compile them they still refuse to come together in much of a cohesive way. ![]() At one point he would have realized that the best option would be to give up his intent on publishing and instead leave his notebooks behind for other's to manage. To go back and try to re-read, re-write, and attempt to organize any of the dozens of books he intended to write would have taken away from him writing new information. The main reason he censored himself and didn't publish his writings was because of their "Heretical" themes - he could have been punished as Galileo was (He was writing about the same things a hundred years before him!)Īnother less practical reason was the sheer amount of content and his erratic way of writing. Da Vinci did leave behind some notes and brainstorming on the books he intended to write but most of which repeated, changed, and were abandoned. The main translations were taken from those available and then placed into an order that the translator decided upon. There are only around 1/4 that survived and still number in the thousands if not hundreds of thousands of pages. This is one of the most intriguing aspects about his written works. Leonardo planned to publish many books but only ever co-published one about proportion that he illustrated. ![]() Unlike our previous research, all these projects are funded by industry bodies, and their aims are not to perform academic research, but to develop commercial products. The projects discussed include active control of transformer noise, ANC in natural ventilation windows, and ANC in a communication chassis. Aspects covered include acoustical design methods, recently developed adaptive control algorithms, new control hardware and systems, and new applications. This paper discusses a number of ANC projects that we have conducted over the last ten years with emphasis on the various challenges encountered in the applications of ANC. One good example is the successful application of ANC on Apple's iPhone 5 to increase speech quality in communication by cancelling ambient noise. However, applications of the technology are entering a new golden era with greater numbers of companies investigating the applications of noise control in their products. The fundamental theories and methods of active noise control (ANC) have become well established over the last 30 years, so fewer academic research projects on ANC are funded nowadays. These include the public's perception of what actually constitutes a noise nuisance and also critically the rate at which an expanding commercial fleet transitions to newer quieter aircraft.Ī new era for applications of active noise control Qiu, Xiaojun (1), Lu, Jing (2), Pan, Jie (3) This is only a part of the complex jigsaw of issues however which define the aircraft noise problem. This forms the basis for noise certification metrics and the focus of industry efforts to reduce aircraft noise. ![]() Much of the discussion will revolve around measures of the noise of a single aircraft at takeoff or approach. Areas will also be highlighted where future gains are likely. The main sources of aircraft noise will be reviewed and areas identified in which the greatest noise reductions have been achieved. While much has been achieved, opportunities still exist to exploit further significant reductions in noise both for current aircraft layouts but also in the longer term for future aircraft and engines which may differ significantly from current configurations. These remarkable achievements will be reviewed here, and an assessment presented of current progress towards meeting ambitious new environmental targets for aircraft entering service between now and 2050. The technical progress which has been made during this period in reducing aircraft noise at source and mitigating its effects by noise reduction technologies is not widely understood or appreciated by the community. It has been a critical issue for communities living close to airports since the introduction of turbojet and turbofan powered aircraft in civil aviation in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Meeting community expectations on aircraft noise has always presented a challenge to aircraft and engine manufacturers and to those involved in airport planning and air traffic management. ![]() Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, United Kingdom The novel paradigm for sound field control systems, the Sound of Things, is introduced with a sound sketch interface devised to facilitate gesture-based interaction between a person and a sound field.Ĭan technology deliver acceptable levels of aircraft noise? Astley, R Jeremy The underlying array signal processing theories, developed since 2000, are introduced in regard to practical systems implemented for various applications. In addition to focusing sound fields, it is possible to control a sound wavefront to produce virtual sound sources with various radiation patterns in a source-free space. ![]() Through the shaping of sound in space, sound fields can be focused over a selected area to form a personal sound zone within which a person hears only a specified sound program without being disturbed by other unwanted programs. In this lecture, two representative problems related to sound shaping are presented: the synthesis of a personal sound zone, and the manipulation of virtual sound sources. Sound sketching involves reproducing existing sound fields as well as creating new shapes of sound fields that can scarcely be observed in common acoustical spaces. By extending the concepts of active noise control and zones of quiet, one can sketch sound, i.e., synthesize sound fields of various shapes using loudspeaker arrays to achieve the desired sound quality in a finite zone of interest. The control of the spatial distribution of noise and sound has been widely investigated for achieving passive and active noise control. INTERNOISE2014 Themes Papers Sound Sketch: Shaping sound in space and time using loudspeaker arrays Choi, Jung-Woo ![]() In the case of co-ops, after the building has paid off the mortgage and either 25 or 35 years has passed (depending on its age), shareholders can vote to leave Mitchell-Lama. The reason for the drop is that buildings can exit the program. These days, only about 45,000 Mitchell-Lama apartments are left, two-thirds of which are co-ops. The last Mitchell-Lama was built decades ago. In exchange for keeping these places affordable, the builders get tax breaks and low-interest mortgages. Rents are tied to a tenant’s income, and co-op prices are set so that buyers pay an “equity value,” which they get back when they sell, meaning there’s no profit to be made. The housing is made up of income-restricted rentals and “limited equity” co-ops. That’s when the city cleared sites in formerly rundown parts of town, from Chelsea to the Upper East Side, and developers constructed about 105,000 apartments in 269 Mitchell-Lama buildings. ![]() Named after two politicians, New York State Senator MacNeil Mitchell and Assemblyman Alfred Lama, who sponsored the bill that created it, the program dates back to 1955. We spoke to Mitchell-Lama experts and residents for their best advice on how to get one. Apartments in the program tend to be well-kept and large, often with 24-hour security, community rooms, and parking spaces.ĭespite the wait lists, it’s still possible to snag one of these apartments. Constructed in the 1950s and 1960s, these buildings often have wait lists that stretch on for years, and it’s not hard to see why. Such apartments can become available through Mitchell-Lama, an affordable housing program that provides rentals and co-ops to middle-income New Yorkers. A one-bedroom in Chelsea for $85,000? In a neighborhood where similar co-ops routinely fetch ten times that amount, it seems like a real estate fantasy. ![]() You can convert an evaluation version that you installed earlier in a final Rhino version (Help – About Rhinoceros – License).
