![]() Overall, it was an easy sell, but Eisner didn’t like the name “Zip-A-Dee River Run.” He suggested that the Imagineers add a mermaid to the attraction so they could tie it into the recent Disney live-action hit “Splash” that starred Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks. It was time to pitch the concept to newly installed CEO Michael Eisner and President Frank Wells. After several days of work, the three men came up with a fairly complete concept for an attraction: The Zip-A-Dee River Run.įurther development moved swiftly, and soon a model of the attraction and more detailed storyboards were complete. When he arrived at his office, Tony got together with coworkers Bruce Gordon and John Stone and started brainstorming. Why not use the characters from Disney’s film “Song of the South” in some sort of a water ride? Br’er Fox, Br’er Bear, and Br’er Rabbit were very well known to the general public, yet this movie had not yet been developed into an attraction like so many of Disney’s other films. One day, while making his hour-long drive to work, Tony Baxter was struck with an idea. He argued that “All the other parks have a flume ride.” To which the Imagineers countered, “That’s exactly why Disneyland should not – we need to be unique.” What this area needed was an “E-Ticket” attraction.Īt the same time, Dick Nunis, President of Walt Disney Attractions, was pressuring Imagineers to come up with some sort of a water ride to help guests stay cool during the hot summer months in Anaheim. The Country Bear Jamboree never achieved the same level of popularity at Disneyland that it enjoyed in the Magic Kingdom, and this remote land was often void of guests. ![]() The History of Splash Mountain Creationĭuring the summer of 1983, Imagineer Tony Baxter was trying to devise a way to draw guests into the often deserted Bear Country at Disneyland. With The Walt Disney World version of Splash Mountain closing forever on January 22, 2023, here’s a look at the incredible and fascinating story of this member of the Magic Kingdom mountain range. As we near the demise of one of the most iconic attractions in the history of the Disney theme parks, we felt it was important to catalog a brief, yet detailed history of Disney’s version of the log flume ride.

The problem with using the tripod on a desk in front of you is how awkward it is to get it close to your mouth. I think this is a case of personal preference. ![]() Looking at several reviews on the web comparing these same two mics, I found that some folks preferred the Snowball and others liked the Samson better. And at least some of that difference is explained by the different pickup patterns. ![]() This explains why the Snowball sample had more room sound in it, but fewer problems with the popping "Ps". Upon double-checking I discovered that the Samson's pickup pattern is actually "hyper-cardioid," (compared just "cardioid" for the Snowball), which means that it will pick up less room sound from the back and sides of the mic, but also make it more sensitive to plosives. Not only did I not need a pop-filter for the Snowball, but there was no need to edit them out as usual.** Normally, even using a pop-filter in front of a mic, I still have to edit out the p-pops in my vocal recordings. However, the Snowball was much better at not over-emphasizing plosives (p-pops), which is a big plus in my book. I also noticed that the Snowball picked up more of the room sound (a bit echo-y). Though they both sounded good, the Samson C01U sounded a bit better to me, more balanced and full. How did the voice recordings sound? Well this is where it gets interesting. In fact, you can actually hear the clock on my wall ticking in the Snowball sample. The hiss is quite loud in the Samson, where there is no hiss at all in the Snowball. Then I recorded my voice into both mics, reading the same short passage.* The result was still pretty amazing. So the first thing I did was record a of seconds of silence with both mics. The Snowball is $69.99 and I picked up the C01U at Best Buy for $70. The result? Holy cow! I couldn't believe how quiet the Snowball was, especially compared to the Samson C01U USB mic, which is a comparable product, even costing the same. The first thing I wanted to check for was the low-level hiss I have noticed in all the USB mic I've used to date. Obviously in a review of a microphone, sound is top priority. First I wanted to see if it showed up as an available mic, so I went to Preferences (Ctrl-P), changed the A udio system to "DirectSound" (it had been set to ASIO for my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Interface), and voila! Under Input Device was "Microphone (Blue Snowball)." Excellent and so very easy. Next I opened Reaper, my standard recording software program, to actually test out how it sounded. Windows automatically installed the driver when I plugged int the cable, in about 15 seconds, and it showed up as an audio device called Blue Snowball in Devices and Printers. I tried it on a Windows 7 (32-bit) machine, attaching and plugging in the included USB cable. To my delight it reacted exactly as I had hoped, swiveling on a ball-and-socket joint built into the mic. I was wondering how to adjust the angle and tried shifting it around. This setting is useful for small singing groups (can gather around the mic), conferences, interviews, and environmental recordings (using a laptop I guess).Ī word of warning about the omni setting though - if your recording space is not ideal, the omni pattern will pick up a lot more noise and room echo/reverb than the cardioid pattern. It picks up sound equally from all directions - behind, below, above, etc. Omni-directional is just what it sounds like. Most mics default to that pickup pattern. And this is the main difference between the standard Snowball and the Snowball iCE).Ĭardioid means it picks up sound best that is in front of the mic, rejecting what's behind and to the sides of it. So Blue Snowball mic has two pickup patterns, cardioid and omni-directional. Third Position - activates the omni capsule.Second Position - activates the cardioid capsule with a -10dB PAD.First Position - activates cardioid capsule.The manual reveals these 3 positions to be: There is a switch on the back of the mic with 3 positions. ![]() Motherboard sound cards also have converters, but they are of low quality and not recommended for recording. Standard mics must be plugged into a separate interface with converters inside. USB mics have converters built right into them, which is what makes them so handy. In digital audio sound must be converted to ones and zeros (digital). It doesn't work like a standard mic (XLE/3-pin connector), which requires an audio interface to connect to a computer. That means it plugs directly into a USB port on a computer. I can say that I've never used a spherical microphone before, so I looked even more forward to testing it out than usual.Īnd just to mention it again, because it's important - The Snowball is a USB microphone. the Snowball is a large diaphragm USB condenser microphone that is, at the very least, unique in shape and appearance. This is a review of the The Snowball microphone, by Blue. ![]() Since there are many different types of SSD and hard disk drive (HDD), the software also needs to have different data destruction technology depending on the hard drive type. The following are some core features within data destruction software that can help users delete their data completely and comply with data regulations:ĭata wiping: The software can destroy the data by overwriting (replace data with random 1s and 0s), block erase (wipe the whole logical block), or cryptographic erase (destroy built-in data encryption). What are the Common Features of Data Destruction Software? For example, there is some freeware to wipe data but they might not fit the overall process or the industry standards. Companies should evaluate their DLM process and data protection process before they buy data destruction software. And without a good DLM, data can be leaked in earlier steps before they are erased. Since data destruction or data wiping falls under the last step of the data lifecycle management (DLM) process, data destruction should be planned ahead of time as part of the whole process. Once the drive erasure is complete, others can’t use data recovery methods to regain access to the file system since the drive will be filled with random data or return the hard drive into a bootable drive. ![]() It can also be used for separate partitioned drives instead of the whole drive. This type of software can erase, wipe, and shred files and systems. This is also sometimes referred to as data eraser software or data erasure software. Instead, they can use data destruction software, which can be used in multiple locations and is affordable. For most companies, physical data destruction is costly and unnecessary. However, the company will need to buy hard drive destruction equipment such as a hard drive shredder. This is a secure data erasure method to prevent personal data from being accessible by destroying the entire drive. Physical data erasure can shred flash drives, solid-state drives (SSD), USB drives, and other hard disks from desktops, laptops, or servers. This is why many businesses are required by regulations to have a data sanitization process to properly destroy their data.įor hard drives that contain extremely sensitive information, companies use physical data destruction methods such as melting and shredding on-site. This exposes businesses to serious financial losses and legal troubles. Since most operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Apple macOS do not securely erase data, hackers can recover the storage devices and access financial information, client details, and other sensitive materials for blackmail or corporate espionage purposes. When users delete data stored on retired hard drives, the hard drive can still be retrieved by hackers. Data destruction software completely deletes all data on hard drives to ensure that sensitive data will not be recovered by unauthorized personnel. PMI released a PMP Credential Handbook to assist candidates as a starting point to evaluate your understanding of the different subject areas found on the certification test-see the Exam Content Outline, effective January 2021. If you prefer to think strictly about hours spent studying, you will need to allow 180 hours to pass the exam. The average time to successfully prepare for the PMP certification exam boiled down to two months of studying, where the candidate studies for three hours daily. Some of them said they needed only one week to study, while others required at least six months. How long does it take to prepare for the PMP certification exam?Īnother question that potential PMP certification candidates have is how long it will take to prepare for the exam? A recent survey of candidates that have successfully passed the PMP certification exam asked them how long it took them to prepare for their exams. The candidate needs to have led or directed professional projects for at least 4,500 hours.Īlso, candidates at this educational level need to have accrued at least 35 contact hours for formal project management education by the time they submit their PMP exam application. In that case, the candidate will need to have accrued a minimum of three years (36 months) of experience of unique, professional project management experience that is non-overlapping. Suppose the candidate’s highest educational level is a four-year degree, such as a bachelor’s degree. Please note that if only a portion of the class covered professional project management, only the time spent covering the subject matter would count towards the 35-hour total. ![]() PMI considers one hour of classroom instruction to be the equivalent of one contact hour. The candidate needs to have led or directed professional projects for at least 7,500 hours.Īdditionally, candidates at this educational level need to have accrued at least 35 contact hours of formal project management education by the time they submit their exam application. In that case, the candidate will need to have accrued a minimum of five years, or 60 months, of unique, professional project management experience. Suppose the candidate’s highest educational level is a secondary degree, such as a high school diploma. The type of requirements depends on the educational level of the candidate. To be eligible to take the PMP certification exam, candidates must meet educational and professional prerequisites. ![]() ![]() What are the prerequisites for taking the PMP certification exam? ![]() Incorporating advancements in coating technology, the energy performance characteristics of Metal Sales finishes and colors meet demonstrated requirements established by ENERGY STAR® and the Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) for solar reflectance and thermal emittance for steep sloped and/or low sloped buildings.

Tropical locations tend to be colors that are bright and vibrant, or metallic colors. Deserts and the Plains often have metal roofing colors that are warm with earthy tones. Mountains and forest locations tend to have metal roofing colors that are earth tones and match the surrounding areas. Another popular trend is to pair the traditional look of steel panels with light, warm tones to create a modern feel. These shades can be paired with bright colors to create eye-catching contrast. To achieve an industrial look, many architects and designers go for darker shades such as gray and black. ![]() To help a building stand out, consider dark metal roofing colors. Your metal roof should blend in nicely with your stucco, siding, or brick and create a balanced look.Ĭhoosing a neutral color such as tan, white or gray can help a building blend in with surrounding structures. You want the color to complement all of the surrounding features, including your neighborhood, environment, and property. It’s critical to match the metal roofing color to your house. If you want your building to make a statement, choosing a bright or contrasting metal roof color can create visual interest but evaluate your area wisely. When you live in a hot climate a darker colored metal roof will be hotter than a light colored metal roof. Lighter colored roofs will help safeguard your roof from intense heat and even can decrease your energy bill.ĭarker colored roofs will have the opposite effect and can make a high slope or tall roof look less profound. Metal roofing in a lighter color will reflect the heat of the sun much better than a darker colored metal roof. If you have a shallow pitch or a low roof, this could make your house appear taller than it actually is. Lighter colored roofs have the effect of making your roof look taller. If you have a swatch of your potential colors take a look at them outside at different times of the day. Also, colors will look different throughout the day. You should also consider your current climate, the policies of your HOA and the architectural style of your home. ![]() I have not tested this, but the VirtualBox software seems robust and it gets good reviews on the internet, so it seems reasonable to presume that it does work as advertised.

Depending on when you were born, you are probably familiar with the old gramophone record. ![]() ![]() They're also made of different cardstock than gameplay cards, not having the opaque layer in the middle. Rules inserts and tokens lack these, so they are not technically cards. Official Magic cards always have a Magic card front and a Magic card back, unless they are double-faced cards or meld cards. Foil cards have an extra layer on the card that highlights certain parts of the artwork over others, the "white under-print plate", or "WUP." A print coating - a very thin, clear protective finish - is applied over the top of printed materials. The corners of the card are cut with a radius of 1/8 inch (3 mm). The card stock allows the cards to be handled and shuffled without losing their "bounce", or bendability. Magic cards, like regular playing cards, are made from two layers of cardboard joined together by an opaque blue adhesive, so that they're opaque even seen in direct sunlight. Non-foil cards are approximately 0.012 inches (0.305 mm) thick. Official Magic cards conform to a specific style on their two faces, whereas other card-like objects like token cards are technically not Magic cards at all. As a game entity, cards exist in most zones of play, but theoretically not the battlefield or stack. The word card can refer to an individual physical or digital card, or the identity of a card by name without having a specific instance of it in mind.
