so left becomes right and right becomes left. Since we are changing these from an output device to an input device it will actually flip the two channels. You will notice that there are different colors to the wires. Listen to this famous audio clip "Virtual Barber Shop" with your headphones on to experience the effect. It's incredable that this can be replicated with only two microphones, but we also only have two ears. The subtle changes in how long it takes for sound to reach one ear before another and the intensity of that sound allows our brains to interpret where that sound is coming from and how far away it is. What is Bin-aural audio you may ask? "Binaural recording is a method of recording sound that uses two microphones, arranged with the intent to create a 3-D stereo sound sensation for the listener of actually being in the room with the performers or instruments." Essentially this effect is possible because of how our brain interprets the sound that we hear. I use these all the time with my camera, some of the best stereo recording you can get for a fraction of the cost. All you need is an old pair of Earbuds, 7 bucks and some basic soldering skills.

I’ll definitely share this with friends of all ages: from my young cousins to the kids I tutor to my grandma! It’s a great book to decompress with. my review: This story was so cute!

Join a dog and their stuffed “fren” sebastian as they navigate life’s adventures through the most wholesome lens imaginable. a short summary: Based on the beloved Twitter sensation, Thoughts of Dog contains never-before-seen, sweet and funny reflections on life from the pup-spective of a gooooob dog, who, above all else, loves their human. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this book in exchange for an honest review. I especially love how cute and expressive Dog’s face is. Although there isn’t a lot of detail in the pictures, there’s just something so pure and approachable about the drawings. The full-page pictures are just so fun and sweet. The art style is simple but nicely done and adorable. It will be just lovely to read out loud with kids. The writing is simple, easy-to-follow, and very fitting. Throughout the book, Nelson nicely manages to evoke warm feelings of friendship, love, and togetherness, without being forced or cheesy. I also love the joy and happiness that Dog shares with others. I couldn’t help but smile and sniffle my way through this book! I just love every cute and moving interaction that Dog has with children, other dogs, and people. This friendly dog shows us that there’s magic and joy to be found in everyday events like building a snowman, having a movie night, going to the beach, and getting a new mailman.Įvery little chapter is so happy and warm and filled with such sweet and innocent humour. I absolutely loved this darling collection! This book takes us through several little adventures in the life of a very good dog and his stuffed elephant “fren” Sebastian. This is a funny, wholesome, and heart-warming book that will be perfect for both the kids and adults in your life. Matt Nelson’s Thoughts of Dog is a lovely, pure, and sweet picture book detailing the adventures of a good dog. Many thanks for the ARC provided by Andrews McMeel Publishing Halle and Story gave this five stars, whereas Paisley gave it one star, begrudgingly, because, well, no cats. Loved that in his Acknowledgments, the author starts by thanking his two beautiful golden retrievers, saying "I simply interpret their perfection." This friendship develops, and is very touching, especially as the story nears the end. Halloween is covered, as well as Car Rides, and of course one on the obligatory mailman, whom Dog looks forward to seeing since he knows that the mailman was the one who brought Sebastian to him. There’s a trip to the Beach with adventures in the water and digging up the sand, collecting seashells and scaring away the birds.Ĥth of July and the associated 'sky booms' in the sky are followed by the sentiment that those 'sky booms' that occur outside of this day should never be tolerated – which I’m sure my dogs would happily vote in agreement. When the human heads off to work, Dog offers to allow the human to take sebastian with him to work for the day, and spends the day waiting for their return, including his many naps and thoughts. the human’s fren is also cuddling sebastian" "according to the transitive property of cuddles. There’s much about Dog’s best stuffed fren sebastian, and the human with frequent mentions of the goings on, when the human has another human fren come to visit, and they all cuddle on the couch, Dog, his fren sebastian, human and human fren, watching a movie. But, so you know, this is by the creator of both Thoughts of Dog and WeRateDogs on Twitter, and he has a lot of followers.

The company's moving to cut unprofitable divisions like robotics, and they're really taking a look at the devices business, which includes Alexa. And based on sources that we've talked to, CEO Andy Jassy has started a large review of expenses and is really making a big profit push. Demand hasn't been as strong this year for Amazon as in previous years, so it is moving to cut cost. Sebastian Herrera: Amazon, after two years of big growth, has had a year this year of net income losses. Our reporter, Sebastian Herrera helped break the story.

Layer 2 blockchains like Arbitrum and Optimism are meant to address the shortcomings of Ethereum, such as expensive transaction fees and network congestion. “Nova is the ideal chain for projects with cost-sensitive and high transaction volume expectations,” Offchain Labs said in a news release, “including games that frequently mint new items and currency, or social projects with different levers for on-chain interactions.” Reddit, the popular social media platform with 400M monthly users and hundreds of thousands of topic-specific communities known as “subreddits,” will enable its communities to issue Ethereum-based tokens known as Community Points.īy setting rules that determine how its Community Points are allocated, a subreddit can encourage engagement and create polls that give added weight to dedicated, long-term users, according to the social media giant.Īccording to Offchain Labs, the company building Arbitrum, Reddit selected Arbitrum Nova as its partner after it bested other Ethereum L2s in a competition titled “ The Great Reddit Scaling Bake-Off.” Arbitrum Nova, a Layer 2 blockchain that aims to improve the gaming and social media experience on Ethereum, debuted Tuesday alongside Reddit’s Community Points program. The way the foot stirrup is cleverly machined into the crossbow riser is another awesome feature that we really like. This is not only a safer option but also keeps movements down to a minimum We recommend the crank-style cocking device for people who intend to hunt from tree stands. This crossbow can be easily drawn with a rope cocking system, or by using the fast and easy to RSD (Removeable Silent Draw) crank style cocking device. We think this is a great anti-dry fire system and is extremely important for the safety of the shooter and anyone standing nearby. If an arrow is not present the crossbow cannot be fired. Draw The Mission Sub-1 XR Fast With The RSDįurthermore, the safety is automatically engaged when the crossbow is fully drawn and The Benchmark Fire Control System is able to sense the presence of an arrow. And since they are ambidextrous the safety can be clicked on and off easily by left and right-handed shooters without any worry or wondering if the safety is on or off. The buttons on the safety are large and easy to access. We also are very fond of the Benchmark fire-control systems’ ambidextrous safety. We really like this quiver and how quickly and easily it can be mounted and dismounted from the crossbow with a simple twisting motion that is also very quiet and does not require a whole lot of movement to engage or disengage. The kit version also ships with three hunting arrows and a uniquely designed cam-style quiver. The scope is mounted to the crossbow with high-tensile aluminum rings and it even features flip-up dust covers for keeping dust, rain, sleet, and snow from clouding the optics while hunting in adverse weather.Ī nicely machined level is also mounted on the bow to ensure the shooter is keeping the crossbow from being tilted left or right, helping with accuracy especially at long ranges. If you decide to go with the entire hunting kit the crossbow comes fitted with a high-quality Hawke scope featuring a ballistic ranging reticle and clear, anti-fog optics that work well in a wide variety of low-light situations From Dusk to Dawn The Sub-1XR Crossbow is available in Realtree camo or in a matte black finish that is non-reflective for hunting situations The two-stage arrow retention device allows the shooter fast and easy loading yet also pins the arrow down enough during acceleration to keep it positioned straight and in line with the string, allowing for incredible accuracy out to 100 yards. The machined riser helps to keep the arrow in place and creates a super-accurate and fast launch system that is finely tuned for extreme accuracy. The crossbow uses something called controlled acceleration to prevent the knock of the arrow from tilting upwards or downwards when the crossbow is fired. The limbs are quite short and also wide, providing a decent amount of torsional rigidity which helps to reduce vibration and improve accuracy. The specially-designed cams are engineered to roll in careful unison creating an 80% let-off which makes the crossbow easy to draw and also much easier to uncock at the end of a hunting trip when it’s time to put the crossbow back in the case. This sub-compact design makes it a great choice for treestand hunters and also for hunting in box blinds or ground blinds. Mission Sub-1 XR: Subcompact Crossbow Review SpecsĪnd this crossbow is quite compact measuring only about 31 inches long and when fully drawn from axle to axle it measures only about 9.5 inches. This can be a huge advantage when out on hunting trips where tools or an archery shop is not located nearby. You can fix the cables or change the string in the field with no bow press around. Without stress on the limbs, maintenance can be done on the crossbow without having to have a bow press handy. limb resistance system allows the resistance to be winded way down. This is a great feature as you are able to customize the overall fit of the crossbow and it can be easily adjusted for different shooters sharing the crossbow or for use in a variety of shooting and hunting environments. The cheekpiece of the Mission XR is also fully adjustable.
