Each Irish Blackthorn walking stick is cut in the dead of winter when the sap is no longer running in the wood. This makes them ideal for walking, hiking and keeping overactive leprechauns at bay. One of the best features of this Blackthorn walking stick from Ireland is that no matter how slender it is, it is strong and virtually unbreakable, yet they are hefty, but not too lightweight. Being a little crooked and knobby gives each of them a distinctive character, but they are not recommended for orthopedic use nor serve as fancy canes. A protective coating of black enamel is then applied over the entire Irish Blackthorn walking stick shank with an application of a copper ferrule on the end 's tip. The handle is actually the root of the Blackthorn bush that is carved and varnished after the tenacious thorns on the shank are trimmed and rounded off. If any small cracks happen to appear, they are filled with wood filler. ![]() We import them from an Irish-family owned business that partners with an Irishman who's made them for over 50 years! Sticks are cut and left to dry (season) for about 10-12 weeks. If you enjoy leisure walking, hiking or perhaps collecting unusual authentic Irish goods, then check out this Irish blackthorn walking stick! Handcrafted and cut from the Blackthorn bush that grows in the hedgerows all over Ireland, each stick has a unique shape and handle.

Though VirtualBox has improved massively over the last few years, you’ll probably have more luck using Fusion when it comes to compatibility with Windows 98 and more demanding Windows XP DirectX titles.īest of all you can download a 30-day free trial to see if it does what you need it to. You can also try enabling Microsoft’s own compatibility modes to run Windows 98 and 95 games by right-clicking the executable file, and choosing Properties.ĭownload: VirtualBox (Free) VMWare Fusionįusion is a commercial product from VMWare, and one of the best in terms of 3D performance. Think games like Age of Mythology, Call of Duty ,and Medal of Honour: Allied Assault. You’re going to need to disable hardware acceleration (and use software rendering) or find a third party VESA driver for improved graphical performance.įor that reason VirtualBox is probably best for Windows XP games and those that maintain good compatibility with the Windows 2000-era platform. It provides good support for Windows NT 4.0 through to Windows 10 (including XP and 7) but isn’t optimized for Windows 98. VirtualBox is a completely free and open source virtualization software from Oracle, available for Windows, Linux, macOS and Solaris. If you’re keen on going down the virtualization route, you’ll want to use one of these solutions (or to check out our other favorite virtual machine apps for Mac). Lastly, you will need a valid copy of the operating system you’re trying to install. MacBook users may also struggle with space allotment, as you’ll need to give your VM some hard drive space to function like a real computer. For this reason, older versions of Windows (like Windows 98) can run better than more modern versions like Windows 7 or 10. It’s also quite draining in terms of processing power and available memory to run two operating systems at once, as you’ll need to provide the VM with a portion of your available power. There have been big leaps forward in terms of virtualized 3D graphics performance over the past few years, but you may still encounter compatibility problems like glitches, poor performance and some games refusing to run. Virtualization does come with a few drawbacks, however. Once Terminal is open, input the following command but replace home/username/disk.cdr with the path to the file you created with Disk Utility, and home/username/disk.iso with the destination path and name for the ISO file you want to create: hdiutil convert /home/username/disk.cdr -format UDTO -o /home/username/disk.iso.You’ll find Terminal in Applications > Utilities, or just search for it using Spotlight (or a Spotlight alternative).

Moreover, financial advisors and companies on its SmartAdvisor platform accumulate $1.5 billion in new, closed assets under management (AUM) each month. Through its personal finance tools and personalized calculators, the fintech startup reaches over 100 million people on a monthly basis. The Series D funding comes after the startup company partnered up with LPL Financial and the launch of its Live Connections solution. Before this, the New York-based startup company last raised funds in June 2018, and the company’s revenue has grown by 10x since then, with nearly $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). New funding takes SmartAsset’s business valuation to the unicorn territory at more than $1 billion. New Funding and Partnership to Help Fuel Sustainable Growth Other business investors that took part in the funding round are Javelin Venture Partners, Contour Venture Partners, Citi Ventures, Life Ventures, North Bridge Venture Partners, and CMFG Ventures. With a Series D under its belt, SmartAsset is working on taking out the bias from personal finance – while it itself is a case study in how overlooked founders, which routinely suffer from this exact phenomenon, continue to lead strong businesses.Fintech startup company SmartAsset announced today it raised $110 million in a Series D business funding round led by TTV Capital. ![]() HBCUvc and Google for Startups also announced this month two separate efforts to provide non-dilutive capital to early-stage, underrepresented founders. “I hope seeing more successful Black founders inspires more people of color to start companies so that one day this is not news,” Carvin told TechCrunch.Ī number of Black-led venture capital firms have closed investments in the past year, which could change this number, including Collab Capital’s $50 million investment vehicle, Harlem Capital, which closed a $134 million seed fund earlier this year Cleo Capital, which set a $20 million target for Fund II and MaC VC, which landed $103 million for its inaugural fund. Crunchbase estimates that in 2020, 1% of total venture capital funding, or $1 billion, went to this cohort of founders. While exciting, the unfortunate rarity of Black-led unicorns is a symptom of historical underfunding in Black or African-American startup founders. Others include Compass CEO and founder Robert Reffkin, whom we recently profiled here, and Calendly CEO and founder Tope Awotona, who we have also profiled. The company claims that, with today’s news, co-founder Michael Carvin now becomes the third Black founder and CEO of a company valued at over $1 billion. The funding and its flashy valuation comes with a certain weight, even in the growing world of unicorn companies. by providing an incredibly valuable resource for both consumers and financial advisors alike.” TTV Capital Partner Mark Johnson said the company “is quickly expanding its lead in one of the largest markets in the U.S. It also plans to boost its current headcount of 202 by more than 75% this year. The company plans to use the new capital to invest in new product offerings, technology infrastructure and data partnerships.

Let’s see this LED display in every Dot, heck, in every Echo smart speaker. You can turn it off if you want, so having two models just doesn’t make sense. Herein lies our biggest grip with Dot with Clock, you pay an extra £10 for the clock, which is so useful it really should just be part of the Echo Dot. The Dot’s small size and affordability make it a great device to put in multiple rooms in your house for all the above reasons, but also because of its security features courtesy of Alexa Guard, which mean it can listen for smoke alarms and sounds of glass breaking (with more capabilities coming soon) when you’re not home, and alert you using the Alexa app. Of course, you can play music from it using your streaming service of choice or pairing your Echo with your phone or another speaker over Bluetooth and you can also plug it into better speakers thanks to its 3.5mm aux port. The main reason to get a Dot is still that it comes with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, and Dot with Clock serves up all Alexa’s latest and greatest tricks.įrom controlling smart home devices to keeping your shopping list up to date, acting as an in-home intercom for Drop-In calls or announcements, to doubling as a home phone (you can make phone calls right from the Dot), this diminutive device has a lot of uses beyond being a great clock and good speaker. But once you’re up and running you’ll want to hop in the Alexa app and fiddle with the clock settings, where you can turn on tap to snooze, adjust brightness, and enable auto-brightness to activate the built-in light sensor that dims and adjusts the display to suit the light in the room.Īmazon Echo Dot with Clock 2nd-generation: Features Setup is simple, and exactly the same as with the Echo Dot ( read about it here if you need tips). (Speaking of, a future feature promises that Alexa will be able to react to snores – even run a Routine to play some white noise so your partner doesn’t wake up and smack you). Instead, it has a much softer glow with this basement position, so subtle you can even press the mute button and not be disturbed by the red light that emanates to indicate Alexa is now deaf to your snores. The light ring that indicates what Alexa is thinking is now at the bottom, which is another savvy move for what is undoubtedly the best smart alarm clock you can buy – as it no longer blinds you when you’re lying in bed. The buttons are also closer together and leave the perfect amount of space between them for an invisible snooze button, just tap this fabric area to snooze an alarm without having to mumble any expletives at all. ![]() In this model they make a lot of sense as you can feel which button you’re pressing – handy when you’re grappling in the dark. You can also adjust it manually in the app or by using your voice.Īs with the new Dot and the 4th-gen Echo, there are four plastic buttons protruding from the fabric at the top of the speaker – volume up and down, mute, and the action button (for waking up Alexa without calling its name). The small LED display shows you a clock by default, analogue or 24 hour, (more on its other features in a bit) and adapts to the light in your room so you can always see it but won’t be blinded by it at night. The LED display remains the same size and color (just white), and still has adaptive brightness, but it's more prominent thanks to the larger surface area – it also sits slightly higher up, making it a bit more visible. It also dispenses with the plastic top, sliding it down the bottom and giving the rest of the speaker over to oodles of that trendy fabric material.īonus points to Amazon here for including 100% recycled fabric and 50% recycled plastic – especially as they’re essentially asking us to upgrade to a device that doesn’t do a whole lot differently from its predecessor – except look better. The new Dot design bulks up the speaker from a diminutive 1.9-inch by 1.7-inch hockey puck, into a more bulbous 3.9-inch by 3.5-inch softball-sized device. We’ve had the new Amazon Echo Dot with Clock by our bed for a few nights now, read on for our full review.Īmazon Echo Dot with Clock 2020: Design and setup In all other elements it’s the same device as the new fourth-gen Echo Dot, but it costs £10 more, only comes in Glacier White or Twilight Blue (no Charcoal option here and Sandstone is only available on the third-gen model). The new 2nd-gen Echo Dot with Clock solves this simple problem by giving you a small LED display that shows the time, as well as a few other tricks.

Better yet, wait until the birds have landed, entice them closer with the promise of company using the whine, then practice the art of jump-shooting. Then, when they’re within 100 yards or so, the whine, the aforementioned peep-whistle of peet - w-o-o-O-O-I-T, or simply the rising whistle portion of the call can convince them to light. Sometimes the high-pitched creeeeek - creeeeek in-flight call of the wood duck will get a flock’s attention. Coincidence? Perhaps, but that one-in-a-million occasion was enough to convince me that when a flying wood duck wants to listen, he will. However, I did on one occasion see a small flock change course and return to a timbered pothole where a cousin of mine, wood duck call in hand, had just called to them in their peet - w-o-o-O-O-I-T rising whistle. It’s been my experience that 99% of the woody population will ignore a wood duck call. ![]() I’d have to branch out and come to grips with the fact that some ducks don’t quack. From that point on, I decided if I wanted to attract more ducks to my decoy spread, I’d have to learn to speak their language. Rolling trills and odd guttural groans audibles seemingly out of place in the duck marsh, but there they were. When I moved to Washington state in ’93, I learned there was more to life than just quacks and quacking.

The ability to track minke whales acoustically also offers an alternative research method to controversial Japanese whaling practices, Risch said. Researchers could put out buoys with microphones during the summer, and later retrieve them to learn about the whales' activity in colder months. The recordings will be especially useful in tracking these animals in winter, when visual surveys are impossible due to weather conditions. "The fantastic thing about acoustics is you can go back in time," Risch said. Now that minke whales have been identified as the source of the mysterious sounds in ocean recordings, researchers can use those recordings to glean information about the distribution, abundance and behavior of these vocal animals. ![]() The fact that the sounds were heard off both Antarctica and Western Australia suggests that some whales remain in Antarctica year round, while others migrate to lower latitudes, as other whales do, the researchers said. For example, male humpback whales, unlike females, perform complex songs during their mating season. The researchers don't know, either, whether only males make the sounds or females also partake. The whales may use the sounds for breeding or navigation, Risch speculated. What the sounds mean in whale-speak remains a mystery to scientists. Years' worth of audio recordings will now provide a wealth of information on the abundance, distribution and behavior of these elusive cetaceans, the researchers said in their study, detailed today (April 22) in the journal Biology Letters. It turns out, Antarctic minke whales actually produce the duck-like sound, Risch and her colleagues have found. As time went on, people suggested a fish may be making the sound, but it seemed too loud, Risch told Live Science. Because the sound was so repetitive, scientists first thought it might be human-made, possibly coming from submarines. "In the beginning, no one really knew what it was," said Denise Risch, a marine biologist at NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Mass. Submarine crews first heard the oceanic quack, which consists of a series of repetitive, low-pitched pulsing sounds, in the 1960s. A mysterious duck-like sound recorded in the ocean around Antarctica has baffled scientists for decades, but the source of the sound has finally been found, researchers say.įor more than 50 years, researchers have recorded the so-called "bio-duck" sound in the Southern Ocean. ![]() ![]() The scene, which was written by John Steinbeck, is clearly an inspiration for one of McCain’s latest ads, wherein a rainbow coalition of men and women stare into the camera and proudly announce, one after the other, “ I am Joe the Plumber.” Viva Zapata!, McCain’s favorite film, closes with a stirring scene wherein villagers dress like Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata to show solidarity. Jordan is especially influential for McCain, a man who models real-life actions on fictional events. “ You know he is a fictional character?” Salter said he asked McCain, who replied, “I know, but he was influential!” Robert Jordan is everything I ever wanted to be.”Īccording to a recent New York Times story, McCain tried to be Robert Jordan, imposing the narrative of Tolls onto his own autobiography, leading to fights with his cowriter Mark Salter. “I am an incurable idealist and romantic. ![]() ![]() “My number-one hero of all time!” McCain said on the campaign trail in 2007.
