![]() This feature is pretty self-explanatory once a model is downloaded from 3D Warehouse, it can be reloaded after every change allowing it to serve as a reference object in any project. The ability to reload 3D Warehouse Models.The direct integration with Trimble Connect is one more step toward breaking down barriers and fostering collaboration-something we believe to be critically important for enabling open BIM and successful building and construction projects.”Īdditional improvements that SketchUp and SketchUp Pro 2016 include are: “We’ve also worked on making it easier for the SketchUp community to share models and collaborate with others. “We’ve placed great emphasis on enhancing SketchUp for improved workflow capabilities and usability, paying careful attention to even the smallest details around drawing, the fluidity of 3D navigation and the hand-off between tools in the overall design and BIM process,” said Chris Keating, general manager for Trimble’s Architecture and Design Division. Trimble Connect is a cloud-based file sharing platform that allows for easy communication and collaboration between industry professionals and team members. It was previously available as a downloadable extension for SketchUp users, but now it’s been directly integrated into the software, enabling easier access all you need to do is sign up for a free account if you don’t already have one. The major enhancement that SketchUp 2016 offers, however, is the new, directly integrated version of Trimble Connect. The technology company behind the 3D modeling software SketchUp has released their latest software update, SketchUp 2016, which promises to improve on its predecessors with several new features for simplifying workflow and improving efficiency for its users–just about a year after releasing SketchUp 2015. ![]() Trimble is one company that makes sure to keep up to date. Technology changes so quickly that, without regular improvements and new features, a company and its customers quickly fall behind. I am here to help.It’s always nice when a software company is predictable with its updates. If you have any questions for me then feel free. It is an artform when working with larger files. I constantly save and whenever I have a splat then I start working in a new file and then try to possibly copy and paste in place whenever I can. 2015 does operate larger files more efficiently than 2016. ![]() My models tend to be much smaller if you build everything yourself taking into consideration its size. I did get sketchup pro and it has been working much better but I have not pushed its limits since I work in multiple files and try to stay away from bringing in many models from the warehouse. I am just rambling now but to answer your question I really have not found a solution. I have also noticed that sketchup uses contours much more efficiently so I have been bringing in my surveyed contours from cad (then running simplify contours) rather than the geo-location from google earth. So I have been very weary on how many I bring in. I notice that when I bring in more than 10 geo-location mesh’s it bug splats and crashes(not sure on what exact number but just put in ten since it is around there). Plus it is a really great way to keep my projects organized as long as you keep your saved folders in check. It is a pain but I am able to link them together very easily in my rendering game engine program. I break my files up in quadrants just like an architect would do with construction document sheets. I have been fighting 2016 with the larger files. ![]() The only time I will use 2015 is when I download a model on the warehouse and it opens as 2015.

India is a vibrant and colorful country, but it’s at its most colorful during Holi – also known as the festival of color or festival of love, which marks the beginning of Spring. Regardless of spiritual beliefs, it’s remarkable to witness.ĭetails: Stonehenge, Salisbury SP4 7DE, United Kingdom | Official Website Udaipur, India Usually, a few hundred people will gather for spiritual and ancient spring celebrations and traditions. For Druids, the equinox marks the awakening of the Goddess of Spring and the life of nature. To Pagans, the Spring equinox celebration is about giving thanks to the ancient Saxon goddess, Eostre, who represents new beginnings and fertility. ![]() In fact, many historians believe that marking the passage of time is one of the reasons why Stonehenge was built – to be a monument aligned with the movement of the sun. It’s a very old tradition that brings England’s oldest tribes together to honor the coming of spring.įor many ancient civilizations, marking the passing of time has been an important part of their history and culture. However, the illusions can be witnessed the day before and after the equinox, so you can visit them on different days to witness each wonder.ĭetails for Chichen Itza: Yucatan, Mexico | Official Websiteĭetails for Dzibilchaltún: 97308 Yucatan, Mexico | Official Website Stonehenge, UKįor centuries, Druids and Pagans have gathered at Stonehenge in England for a spring equinox ritual – watching as the sun rises above the stones. During sunrise on the Spring Equinox, you can witness the sunshine through the portal in the Temple of the Seven Dolls, showing once again how Maya civilizations incorporated an understanding of astronomy into their architecture.ĭzibilchaltún is 85 miles from Chichen Itza, so it’s not possible to catch both on the same day. This fascinating and ancient optical illusion is what draws thousands of people to the historic site every year for the spring equinox.Īnother popular Maya site to celebrate Spring Equinox is Dzibilchaltún, at the Temple of Seven Dolls, where another marvel of incredible accuracy by Maya architects can be witnessed. When facing the steps of the Pyramid of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza from a given angle, an illusion of light casts a shadow in the shape of a serpent descending the steps of the pyramid. It is believed that Kukulcan once told the Maya people that one day a feathered serpent would come down to the Earth and speak to them.ĭuring the Spring Equinox, somewhere between 4-6 pm, a special phenomenon occurs. The Toltec’s main god, Quetzalcoatl, was adopted by the Maya who they called Kukulcan. When the Toltec warriors arrived at the Maya Peninsula, they founded the Itza tribe. Each year, approximately 25,000 visitors flock to Chichen Itza to celebrate Spring Equinox. No matter where you are, you’ll find spring festivals, celebratory events, and lots of fun ways to honor the arrival of spring.Ĭhichen Itza is the world’s most famous Maya archeological site and is one of the seven wonders of the world. ![]() Spring celebrations around the world make traveling for the equinox a wonderful experience. It marks the beginning of spring in the Northern hemisphere and the beginning of fall in the Southern Hemisphere. The confusion between spring and fall with the hemispheres is why it’s sometimes easier to just refer to it as the vernal equinox (even though vernal means spring, it sometimes sounds less confusing).įor thousands of years, ancient civilizations have held spring equinox celebrations. In 2023, it lands on March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere and September 22nd in the Southern Hemisphere. The Spring Equinox falls on different days each year, although it is usually around the same time. It is also referred to by other names, such as Ostara equinox and the vernal equinox. The spring equinox is the time of year when the sun lies directly above the equator, meaning that the length of day and night are equal. ![]() For some reason Jordan/Janardan is arrested and imprisoned. Because that’s what you do in Prague when you see on your front lawn the man who had dinner with you in your house a couple of days ago. Her husband’s reaction is to pull a gun at Jordan/Janardan. Before leaving, he comes to say goodbye to her and because he was sneaking into her house, he sets off the burglar alarms. We never really find out what happens in Eurojam because that’s not really the point of the film, is it? The point is to get him to Prague so that he and the much-married Heer can have an affair, which they do. A record company signs him and takes him to Prague for a mysterious event called “Eurojam”. After living in a mosque for two months, he comes to the canteen manager and starts living with him. By this time, he’s figured out that he is in love with Heer however his immediate problem isn’t heartbreak but homelessness. There’s some drama when the business loses money and Janardan is kicked out of the house. Janardan comes home and gets into the family business (something to do with trucks). She has a list of things she wants to do before she gets married in two months. After the usual antagonism, the two become friends. The manager of the canteen he frequents tells him that to be a true artist, one must experience pain and heartbreak. Janardan is a college kid who wants to be the Indian Jim Morrison but he isn’t getting anywhere. It’s a tough job, not helped by the fact that aside from the task of livening up a bad script, he also has to convince us that MC Hammer’s dhoti pants and weird jackets can be a rock star’s costume. It essentially becomes a series of bucket lists punctuated by songs that Ranbir Kapoor, who plays Jordan/Janardan, tries to salvage. Instead, thanks to some spectacularly bad acting by Heer (played by debutante Nargis Fakhri) and a script that’s so half-baked that it’s like raw blood pudding, “Rockstar” begins engagingly before chucking all notions of logic, sense and causality out of the window. The most disappointing thing about “Rockstar” is that it could have been a decent film. Now, if you’re going to go around having irresponsible conversations like that under a bed sheet, while snuggling fully clothed with your loved one, you’re obviously going to get pregnant. Since this is a Bollywood film, it wasn’t a carnal moment that the audience was made privy to but a conversation, which went something like this. Possibly to tug at our heartstrings, director Imtiaz Ali shows us the moment when Heer got pregnant. You see, Heer was married to someone else when she had an affair with the ‘rockstar’, a.k.a Jordan, whose real name is Janardan. She also got pregnant and landed up with some terminal bone marrow disease, which is the Bollywood equivalent of being smote by lightning. ![]() If there was a screengrab for the reminiscing heroine, then I could have captioned it, “I had an affair with a rockstar and all I got was a lousy t-shirt.”Īctually, that’s not entirely true. At this point, she goes up to a room and starts rubbing her face in a dirty red T-shirt, which had in the past been worn by the love of her life, who is the rock star of the film’s title, when he was, apparently, sniffing her earlobe. ![]() ![]() Somewhere near the end of Imtiaz Ali’s “Rockstar” (not to be confused with “Rock Star” starring Mark Wahlberg), Heer the heroine starts feeling faint and gets that I’m-going-to-die-soon look that veteran Bollywood watchers will recognise in a jiffy. Jennifer Aniston is woefully underused in a standard-issue "good woman who stands by her man and holds on to her values" role, but it is nice to see the musicians played by real-life guitarists Zakk Wylde and Brian Vander Ark, bassist Jeff Pilson and drummer Jason Bonham.Among the many things that don't make sense are the cap and the retro drawing style. Wahlberg enjoys himself onscreen, but it is impossible not to compare this to his performance in the vastly more complex and intelligent Boogie Nights, another movie about a naive young man who is brought into a world of debauchery and corruption. The movie's biggest problem is that it cannot make up its mind whether it wants to be a satire or play it straight. Rock Star is in that last category, yet it is still has moments of guilty pleasure. There is logic, there is movie logic, and then there is the kind of "throw some big musical numbers and some good-looking stars on the screen and no one will notice that it makes no sense whatsoever" logic. This is an unimaginative rise-and-fall story that never really captures our hearts or even our attention at least that makes it easier to ignore major lapses in the story line.

In fairness, this is due as much to the curved side contours of the 3GS that makes flicking the switch challenging at times. The volume button only requires horizontal manipulation, so no problems there, but the ringer switch had scarcely enough room to allow you to flip it on and off. On the iPhone 3GS unit, the only feature I was frustrated with was the constricted opening for the volume button and ringer switch. The indicator would not light up, requiring me to unplug the unit and plug it back in. There were a couple times when the charger stopped working (on both models). The two models also both have an LED status indicator that marks exactly how much power remains in your unit with the press of a button. Plugging the unit in with the included USB cable will charge both the phone and the case. There is a power switch at the bottom of the case (present on both 3GS and 4 models) that allows you to put the unit on charging or standby status. The iPhone case for the 3GS mimics the shaped contours of the older generation of iPhones. Of course, you can always plug in headphones, as the stereo mini-jack is not obstructed by the case.ĭesign Both portable charger models have similar features that match up to the default iPhone feature set: the stereo mini-jack, power button, speaker, mic, camera lens, etc. In both Mophie case models, the sound from YouTube videos and iTune tracks was effectively funneled to the front of the iPhone. The "sound redirect" feature of the iPhone 4 case is a more elegant set of hyphen shaped holes located at the bottom of the case. It has the same U-shaped top piece to lock in the phone. ![]() I tested the Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3GS and the Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 4.Ĭonstruction The iPhone 4 model of the case has a rubberized matte finish on the outer plastic shell, with an aluminum colored band on the edge. I checked out two products that are made by Mophie, a California-based company and developer of the Juice Pack Air, the first ever "Works With iPhone" portable battery case to be certified by Apple. All of us have encountered the situation when our iPhone battery is closing on 19% and we experience that sinking feeling that our phone is running on empty. I had been looking for a good iPhone portable recharger solution. ![]() If you’re looking for the flagship synthesizer, then Analog Lab isn’t for you, Diva is. The Arp 2600 in particular is perfect for sound design, there are a lot of weird and funky presets to explore and play with.Ĭomparisons to the monumental Diva plugin (by U-HE) have been made, however these are very much different categories of plugins. Our favourite instruments were definitely the Arp 2600, the Propher-5, the Moog Modular V and Wurlitzer. Having found ourselves spending hours just looking through cool sounds on Analog Lab, we can testify that it’s a damn good plugin. The analog synth sounds of the Arturia Analog Lab are extremely fun to use, and the variation of what you can get from it is absolutely inspiring. However, while there are definitely some sounds that lack in body and presence, and can feel overall muddy, we came to a different conclusion: Having read multiple forum threads, proclaiming that Analog Lab’s sound quality was thin and uninspiring, we were bracing for disappointment. But, all in all, Arturia Analog Lab is perfect for a producer, or songwriter just wanting to get a great sound quickly. ![]() The price difference between the two is something to consider however, with Analog Lab being half the price of the V Collection. You’ll get a full synth environment with the V Collection, but with Analog Lab you only get a collection of 13000 presets to choose from. Essentially, if you’re looking for in-depth control of the most legendary synths, you’re better off getting the Arturia V Co l lection. While V Collection is a “regular” VST collection, and comes with 24 synths and keyboards, Analog Lab is an interface with 13000 presets from those synths. They offer The Analog Lab 5, alongside the Arturia V Collection, which appear to be very similar on the surface.īoth of these are vintage synth bundles that contain more or less the same synthesizers. It might be confusing at first, looking at Arturia’s product line. Plus, with its simple and powerful browser and intelligent filtering, it makes finding the right sound quick and easy. Analog Lab V gives you access to sounds from all the powerful hardware instruments that are financially out of reach for most people. ![]() Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Mac Studio and iMac.

We’ve evaluated these based on SSO capabilities, methods of passwordless authentication available, policy management, and reporting capabilities. We’ve put together a list of the top 10 passwordless authentication solutions for organizations looking to reduce password usage and simplify the log-in process for users. ![]() This method heavily relies on FIDO2 standards and public-key cryptography to authenticate users. ![]() “True” passwordless, on the other hand, means that the password itself doesn’t exist-instead, the user’s account is created using passwordless methods. “Semi” passwordless solutions include certain types of Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), where the password itself still exists, but where users can log on to all connected accounts password-free via one connected portal, or sign-in using alternative methods of authentication-such as biometrics and authenticator apps. While we use “passwordless authentication” as an umbrella term, the sub-types within this can be split into solutions we at Expert Insights consider “semi” passwordless, and “true” passwordless. Many organizations are eliminating passwords from the mix altogether by addressing the issue at its root, and are starting to implement passwordless methods of authentication. This means that it’s now more vital than ever for organizations to implement robust identity and access management solutions to protect their users, accounts, and sensitive data from password-related attacks. Weak passwords like these can generally take less than a second to crack in a brute force attack. So, it’s easy to see why businesses are beginning to turn to passwordless authentication solutions to keep their companies and data safe. In fact, if any of your passwords look anything like “123456”, “qwerty”, or the incredibly original “password”, now might be the time to change it. Did you know that in 2021, the most commonly used password globally was “123456”? And that’s not the only weak password that made the list. |
