![]() These light displays peak around the fall and spring, or vernal, equinox. The celestial display of brilliantly colored lights happens when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth’s atmosphere, causing them to light up. In the far north, the autumnal equinox signals peak viewing of the aurora borealis, or northern lights. This harvest festival is a time to celebrate the gifts of the Earth. ![]() Modern Paganism: Modern pagans celebrate a feast called Mabon on the autumnal equinox. The French followed this calendar from 1793 until Napoleon Bonaparte abolished it in 1806. In the revolutionary attempt to rid the calendar of religious or royalist influence, each month was named after a natural element. These tradition festivals, once celebrated around the equinox, formed the basis of American Thanksgiving, which we now celebrate in November.įrench Republican Calendar: During the French Revolution, the French government designed and implemented a new yearly calendar.Įach new year would start at midnight on the day of the autumnal equinox. Harvest festivals traditionally were held on the Sunday nearest the Harvest Moon.Įarly English settlers took the harvest festival tradition with them to America. Harvest Festivals In Great Britain: The people of the British Isles have given thanks at fall harvest festivals since pagan times. Higan means “from the other shore of the Sanzu River.” In Buddhist tradition, crossing the mythical Sanzu River meant passing into the afterlife. It takes place twice a year, during the fall and spring equinoxes.ĭuring Higan, Japanese Buddhists will return to their hometowns to pay respects to their ancestors. Japanese Higan: Higan is a holiday celebrated by some Japanese Buddhists. Round pastries, called mooncakes, are often enjoyed at this time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, lanterns adorn streets and family and friends gather to give thanks, share food and watch the moon. Ancient Chinese celebrated the successful harvest of rice and wheat and made offerings to the moon.Įthnic Chinese and Vietnamese people still celebrate the Harvest Moon or Mid-Autumn Festival. The Chinese began celebrating the fall harvest at the Harvest Moon centuries ago, during the Shang dynasty. ![]() Greek Mythology: To the ancient Greeks, the September equinox marks the return of the goddess Persephone to the darkness of the underworld, where she is reunited with her husband Hades.Ĭhinese Harvest Moon Festival: The full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox is sometimes called the Harvest Moon. Some of these sites include Stonehenge and Newgrange in the UK and the Majorville Medicine Wheel in Alberta, Canada. The two days of the year when the sun rose exactly due east and set exactly due west marked the equinoxes.Īrchaeologists believe a number of prehistoric sites were used by ancient peoples to track the position of the sun and predict equinoxes and solstices. The sun’s southernmost point marked the winter solstice, or shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, when the North Pole was tilted the farthest from the sun. The summer solstice would occur when the sun reached its northernmost point, marking the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. ![]() People observed that the sun’s rising and setting points moved slightly each day of the year. Ancient CulturesĪncient cultures didn’t have clocks to calculate minutes of daytime and nighttime, but they could measure the sun’s position geometrically. The reverse is true in the Southern Hemisphere where the September equinox signals the first day of spring. In the Northern Hemisphere, the September equinox marks the first day of fall. The equinox marks the point of the year where this transition occurs, and on the equinox the part of Earth closest to the sun is the equator, rather than places north or south. Then, as the Earth continues to move around the sun at its fixed angle, the North Pole is tilted slightly away from the sun. For half the year, the North Pole is tilted slightly toward the sun, bringing longer days to the Northern Hemisphere, while the South Pole is tilted slightly away from the sun, bringing fewer hours of sunlight to the Southern Hemisphere. On the equinox, day and night are of nearly equal length across the planet.Īs the Earth orbits the sun, it is tilted at a fixed angle. Equinox comes from the Latin words “aequi,” which means equal, and “nox,” or night. ![]() These plates are actually your controls, offering a rotating dial for volume and mic chat balance on either side.

Still, you're paying for one of the best Xbox Series X headsets if you're after extra functionality and an amazing audio experience. Verdict: The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro for Xbox carries a very high price ($279.99/£249.99) which easily makes it one of the most expensive mainstream wired gaming headsets going right now. The sound quality and depth, both in stereo and surround modes, was just superb, being clear, rich, and detailed on both Xbox and PC. PC games had no problem holding up to the same kind of experience we had on Xbox, though. We did notice that the overall quality was a little reduced when switching from Xbox Series X to PlayStation, but still well worth the cash if you're splitting your time between the two consoles. Between Sniper Elite 5 and Doom Eternal's powerful explosions and the ambient rainfall of Ghost of Tsushima, the Nova Pros seemed to be able to do it all. ![]() The fact the decent microphone isn’t retract-to-mute is a missed opportunity, and the need to have a cable running to the DAC and then to the Xbox also means you’ve got something else to potentially get in the way (or trip over) during a gaming session.Īudio: The Nova Pro stood out in our testing, offering a rich depth and astounding quality to sound in both stereo and surround sound, with a deep bass to accompany extremely clear mids and high ranges. The icing on the cake is compatibility with other systems including PC and PlayStation 5 you can literally have it plugged into an Xbox and something else at the same time and switch between the two systems without having to take off the headset. This won’t affect the price you pay and helps us offer the best product recommendations.Features: The Digital-To-Analogue (DAC) unit with the unit offers highly customisable EQ adjustment, letting you get the sound just how you like it, and the audio quality in stereo and surround mode is just superb across the board, whether it’s in action-packed action/shooting games, engaging RPGs, thoughtful adventure titles, or enjoying streaming content from the internet.

Offering 7.1 surround sound (with Windows 10) and compatible with the Switch, PS4, and Xbox One, the Razer Kraken X is durable, has reasonable sound quality, and comes with a classic design. That said, Amazon offers a pre-owned version that has been tested and cleaned, and the site indicates the headset should look new.

Is that normal? If not, how to restore it?ģ. Yet, it does not show in macOS 10.15 Catalina. In macOS 10.12 Sierra for instance, the macOS Recovery partition shows as disk icon to select when booting pressing the Option key. Is that and the final DiskWarrior 6 release days, weeks, months or years away? Or is it not known at the moment, and maybe it is never released? That would be great! Thanks!Ģ. For instance, do they have all required documentation from Apple? If not, when is it expected? Even a tentative date would be great. ![]() Does it make any difference or is it recommended to run First Aid from the booting disk, or booting from macOS Recovery, or booting from other disk? Could it be better to do it using applications like Micromat TechTool Pro (until Alsoft DiskWarrior 6 for APFS is released)? It would be great if Rusty Little (DiskWarrior Project Manager) could say something about the future DiskWarrior 6 to rebuild the directory of APFS disks (without breaking the NDA with Apple, of course!). I wonder why Apple does not allow “Disk Utility – First Aid” to check all (disk, containers and volumes) at once with a single click. This all makes sense, apart from Disk Utility’s apparent inability to unmount volumes in order to check a container, but isn’t what the user is told in the app’s Help book. To check and repair all volumes in a container, you must first eject each of its volumes, then select the container and click on the First Aid tool. To perform full checks on an APFS volume, you should select that volume (not its disk or container) before clicking on the First Aid tool. If that’s a disk, then First Aid checks and repairs at that level, including the disk’s partition map and EFI partition, not its volumes. How this currently works is that performing First Aid depends on the item which is selected. The description of Disk Utility’s First Aid command therefore appears incorrect. if there are snapshots on the volume, these are checked individually.However, if it can’t, try unmounting the volume before running First Aid, and mounting it manually again afterwards.įile system objects which are checked on each volume include: When run on a mounted volume (not its container), Disk Utility is usually happy to unmount that volume before performing its checks, then re-mount the volume at the end. ![]() If you manually unmount all the volumes in a container and run First Aid on that, or select a volume and run First Aid on that instead of its container, then each volume undergoes a full check on its file system., using the command If you try checking a container on an external APFS disk without ejecting all its volumes, First Aid usually returns an error code -69566 because it can’t apparently unmount the volumes itself. Unmounting its volume(s) make no difference to that, but leaves its container and volumes unchecked. Run First Aid on an external APFS disk and the same checks are made as on an HFS+ disk, covering the partition map and EFI partition. As those require the volume(s) to be unmounted, this is discouraged when running in normal mode, and better performed in Recovery mode. If you want to check the container or volumes on it, you have to select each individually then click First Aid. Run First Aid on your APFS boot disk and the same checks are made as on an HFS+ disk, including the partition map and EFI partition. On completion of any repairs, the volume is mounted again. Is then run on each available volume, which checks its HFS+ file system in full. Run First Aid on an HFS+ volume and the volume is first unmounted, and the command Other volumes on that disk aren’t checked at all.
![]() Emulsions are also thicker than extracts, so water based emulsions mix into batters more evenly. So, baking emulsions produce stronger-flavored baked goods because more flavor is retained during cooking. Here's how: Flavor emulsions contain water. Emulsions can flavor baked goods better than extracts, in many applications. Emulsions are suspended in water and extracts are suspended in alcohol. There is a key difference between a bakery emulsion and an extract. ![]() Some bakers prefer these water based emulsions for all their recipes. Baking Emulsions are one type of food flavoring. When it comes to flavoring baked goods, there are a few options. We decided to swap out the vanilla extract in the shortbread recipe for almond extract, reducing the amount by half to account for the latter extract’s higher potency.Flavor Emulsions - Flavorings For Baking Sweets & Desserts We tried them in both raw and cooked form by whipping the extracts into cream and baking them into cookies, with Dorie Greenspan’s Tenderest Shortbread serving as our vehicle. The Epicurious editors tasted these extracts blind and in random order. We all agreed, however, that we were looking for something that was rich, nutty, and fragrant, had no medicinal aftertaste, and would not overpower whatever it was used in. Some tasters preferred the nostalgic, perfumed quality of artificial almond flavoring, while others favored something more subtle. The best almond extract for you will depend on what you’re looking for our editors preferences varied widely. According to one tester, it was “fragrant, nutty, strong, nostalgic-but maybe too powerful and artificial-tasting.” It was too potent for many of the testers, but if you are looking for a strong almond flavor, you may want to consider using an almond emulsion-and perhaps using a bit less than your recipe calls for. Although it’s not technically an “extract,” we were curious to see whether it was better or equivalent to the almond extracts we tested. Almond emulsion is an extremely potent flavoring ingredient in which bitter almond oil is suspended in a mixture of propylene glycol and water, so it doesn’t evaporate while baking. We included one almond emulsion in our taste test: LorAnn’s Bakery Almond Emulsion. If you’re looking to lean into an intense almond flavor-especially if you’re making frangipane-we recommend you give this one a try. Two testers described this extract as contributing a flavor that made them feel nostalgic, reminiscent of biscotti or Italian bakery cookies. McCormick’s Imitation Almond Extract, however, was balanced and had a creamy nutty quality that enhanced the flavor of the shortbread we used to test it, but without overpowering the cookie. The pure extracts were either too subtle to be detected or too strong. Most of the artificial almond extracts had a bitter aftertaste, with a cloying sweetness and candied marzipan flavor that didn’t seem natural. To our panelists’ surprise, it was an almond flavor-that is, a synthetic option and not a pure extract-that scored the highest overall during our taste test. (I’m not going to lie: After tasting so many almond extracts, I almost expected myself to drop dead.) The all-around favorite: McCormick Imitation Almond Extract Still, a little goes a long way, and I don’t recommend consuming large quantities of either bitter almond oil or almond extract. In artificial almond extracts, the benzaldehyde is synthesized by a lab.Īlthough prussic acid is lethal, it’s destroyed when cooked, and the amount of oil used in almond extracts is so small that you’d have to drink several bottles in order for it to be truly deadly. Because sweet almonds grown for eating lack this bitter, fragrant compound, true and pure almond extract must be made with bitter almonds. A by-product of this process is benzaldehyde, which is responsible for the strong aroma we associate with almonds and the pits of peaches, apricots, and cherries. The nut contains amygdalin, a toxic compound that defends the plant by generating hydrocyanic acid (otherwise known as prussic acid) when it senses the almond’s kernel is damaged. And fun fact: In adequate quantities, bitter almonds are toxic enough to kill you. Pure almond extract is made with just water, alcohol, and oil from bitter almonds. And our winner, in fact, was a widely affordable imitation almond extract. While our panel of testers was able to suss out some of the artificial extracts in our taste test, they didn’t detect every one. The most recent Epicurious taste test, however, quickly proved me wrong, and a little research revealed that chemists are actually very good at replicating and synthesizing the flavors we love. I assumed that cheaper extracts were likely to be synthetic, and therefore a poor representation of whatever flavor I was looking for. I used to think “expensive” meant “better” when it came to almond extract. ![]() ![]() It is perfect for product packaging, branding projects, magazine covers, social media posts, weddings, or anything that needs a sweet, handwritten touch.

Designed with a tough, weather-resistant dual-grip body that lets you easily hold the camera horizontally in landscape mode or vertically in portrait mode, the Z9 offers a little bit of everything for the artist who wants the very best in camera gear. However, the a1 is close to double the price of the a7R V, which is why we think the Sony a7R V is the better buy.Īlthough Nikon’s name has for decades been synonymous with professional cameras for photojournalists, the company’s recent full-frame mirrorless cameras have received mixed reviews. And although the mechanical shutter burst is the same on both models (10 fps), the electronic burst mode on the a1 (30 fps) is faster than on the a7R (just 8fps). The a7R V does fall short of matching the Sony a1 in a few areas: For example, the a1 can shoot 8K video at 30 fps and the a7R V captures 8K at just 24fps. And for sharing your images, the a7R, like the A1, boasts the industry’s fastest Wi-Fi connection. It also has the ability to capture 8K-resolution video. The electronic viewfinder has also been improved, so it’s sharper-it now has 9.44 million dots. Moreover, it has a new 4-axis multi-angle LCD monitor, which fold outs and swivels in a more intuitive way, allowing you to more easily capture hard-to-get shots. The a7R V includes other upgrades as well, like a better image-stabilization system, which now offers 8 steps of compensation, instead of 6. This ensures you’re always getting sharp shots, no matter who or what is in motion. ![]() To do this, you choose the AF tracking mode for a person, animal or vehicle. This processor allows the auto focus to automatically track faces and eyes not only of humans but of animals too.

NUMBER OF TEETH OF VARIOUS DOLPHIN SPECIES Some species only use their teeth to grab onto their prey and will consume their food whole, while other species don’t appear to have any real use for their teeth at all.īelow you can find a list containing the estimated number of teeth of different dolphin species. The number of teeth a dolphin has varies by species, however it is estimated that some species may have as many as 250 teeth.įor example the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin has between 80 – 100 teeth, while the short-beaked common dolphin has as many as 240 teeth.ĭespite having teeth not all dolphins use their teeth for chewing or breaking apart their prey. Cephalopods (which include octopus, squid and cuttlefish).Krill (a small crustacean a popular food source among blue whales).Plankton (a common food source for fish, dolphins and whales).Squid (dolphins generally hunt small squid, but a few species may hunt larger species of squid).Here are some foods that dolphins have been known to consume: Most species of dolphin stick to a diet that consists primarily of small fish and squid however there are a few species that also consume larger prey and marine mammals. One theory suggests that it is also possible that a dolphins sense of taste can play a role similar to smell as these dolphins may be able to detect different objects, foods or threats by tasting differences in the water, however this theory isn’t well-studied. While not much is known about the dolphins sense of taste they have been known to show preferences in what types of food they enjoy eating when being fed fish at marine parks and aquariums, and when fed foods containing citric flavoring bottlenose dolphins displayed a number of characteristics indicating their ability to taste the citric acids. In terms of whether or not dolphins are able to taste the food they eat it has been determined that they do have some level of taste, however their sense of taste isn’t studied as well as in other mammals, so the full extent of their ability to taste food and detect differences is unknown. The number of teeth a dolphin has can vary greatly depending on its species.ĭolphins can have anywhere from a few dozen to over 250 teeth at a given time and some species (such as Risso’s dolphin) may only have teeth that are present on the lower jaw. Lastly, some researchers believe that the dolphins teeth and jaw may play a role in its ability to absorb and detect sound when combined with echolocation. Teeth may also be used to show dominance or threaten other cetaceans, especially during mating season, however this is also dependent upon the species. ![]() When it comes to the dolphin species all dolphins are part of the toothed whale suborder and teeth are one of the characteristics that are present among all of the toothed whale family.Īlthough all dolphins are equipped with teeth not all species use their teeth for eating prey or tearing flesh.ĭepending on the dolphins species some dolphins (such as the killer whale) will use their teeth to rip apart the flesh of their prey in order to kill it and make it easier to consume while species (such as the bottlenose dolphin) only use their teeth to grip their prey but will consuming their food whole. |
