UPDATED IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM THE TOWN OF AUBURN There will be secured day and overnight truck parking bays available that will be monitored 24/7 by CCTV cameras linked to local security companies.TOWN OF AUBURN EXECUTES CONTRACT FOR MUNICIPAL AGGREGATION “Each station will offer restrooms and a shop, fast WiFi, as well as repair and wash facilities for trucks. “A big focus of the project is creating safe, clean facilities for truck drivers to rest, which, in turn, will increase road safety. “Each station will deploy ultrafast charging technology, coupled with modular battery packs that are being developed in China, with the goal of being able to charge a truck within 20 minutes,” says the company. Zero Carbon Charge says its proposed charging stations will all be offgrid, with each facility powered by 35 MWp of solar PV. ![]() “It is, therefore, critical that we start investing in off-grid infrastructure to power these trucks, particularly…on long-haul routes.” “If one takes into account all 14 national roads, the country would need an additional 8 billion kilowatts a year of electricity to power the 30 000 electric trucks travelling on these routes daily, placing a major strain on the national grid. Zero Carbon Charge says any growth in domestic electric truck sales will create an increased energy demand, with the electricity required to charge the trucks using the N3 route daily totalling 2.3-billion kilowatt hours a year. “Replacing these fuel-powered trucks with electric models will save 670 kg of CO2 emissions per truck per day, significantly reducing our country’s reliance on expensive dirty fossil fuel imports.” “Every day, 8 756 trucks travel on the N3 between Durban and Johannesburg, using over 658-million litres of fuel at an imported cost of R8-billion, emitting 1.8-billion kilogrammes of carbon dioxide (CO2) a year,” notes Zero Carbon Charge co-founder Joubert Roux. Zero Carbon Charge adds that the new offering is in response to a growing shift by truck manufacturers to electric load carriers. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Apparently this is a smaart API restriction, not SSD's fault though.Īgain, a great idea and a great start, but nowhere near worth $50 yet. If I'm out moving my mic and getting delay times and responses, what's the point in this if I have to run back to the computer and capture them!? Even if you can't view them, the ability to capture is crucial. The biggest thing lacking though is the ability to "capture" traces of any kind. Can't edit delay finder settings (cry me a river right? Just would be something nice to have access too) The spectrograph zooming is buggy (in vertical mode, once you zoom, the frequencies no longer align with the proper points). If a dialog box comes up in smaart, the app is helpless in some situations until you go back to the computer and deal with it. DO NOT deactivate Smaart to install the v8.1 update. The generator engage button doesn't always work, despite showing that it is (iow, just because it says on, doesn't mean smaart listens, in certain situations). Download the v8.1 installer for your specific operating system and run it. It's a great idea, and a great start for this app. ![]() Add iAudioInterface2, iPrecisionMic, or iTestMic to make a complete professional-grade audio test & measurement system. If you are looking for a Spectrum Graph or Transfer Function that runs natively on your iOS devices, see our app, AudioTools, which has Smaart Tools I (single channel) and Transfer Function available for in-app purchase. It does not work on versions of Smaart prior to 7.3. NOTE: This app does not process audio, and is only useful if you already own a license to Smaart 7. Walk the venue, and take Smaart 7 with you. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the delay time, and view the results in real time. The Transfer Function graph shows the magnitude, phase, and coherence plots, with an advanced touch-GUI available.īring up the Delay Finder to measure the delay, and apply it, all without touching your computer. View the spectrum plot in single screen or split screen mode (on iPad only), so that you can see RTA and Spectrograph at the same time. Now you can operate Smaart® 7 running on your PC or Mac computer from your iOS device, and view measurement results right on your iOS device screen.Ĭonnect to Smaart® 7 (v7.3 or later) over WiFi, and then select any measure from any group, including Spectrum and Transfer Function displays. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Ideally someone (not me) should restructure the main loop into a loop per directory. I recommend that you open taskmgr.exe and look the CPU and RAM use and periodically check the job while you do something else. It returns quickly on small directories and takes about an hour a Terabyte on larger drives (your mileage may vary). However after a bit of Googling and some debugging (yes, some users do put commas in file names) I have written a batch file that creates a suitable CSV file. Once the data is in Excel I can also add extra columns such as “Archive or Delete” and do “what if” analysis.Īs soon as you try to get this information at the command prompt you quickly run up against the problem that Windows does not report directory sizes and the standard listing “dir /s” is unsuitable for creating a CSV file.

The profession itself is quite old, certainly going back to the Black Death of the 14th century (when 30-50% of Europeans died) and possibly as far back as the 6th century’s Plague of Justinian (when something like 25% of the Roman Empire’s population died) and likely even earlier. This is one reason why we are so happy to make it available once again whether as a decorative mask or as a carnival costume.Ĭheck out our handmade authentic models of the plague doctor mask, which vary in style from highly historically accurate to masks more suited for a carnival costume or Halloween costume.So I decided to be a plague doctor for Halloween this year. This works quite well in effect because the plague doctor fits in perfectly with the corrupt and decadent character of the steampunk universe.Īs expert mask-makers here at Ca’ Macana, it fascinates us that the plague doctor mask continues to intrigue and repel people centuries after its use in daily life. The steampunk version of the plague doctor resembles a union between the plague doctor of old and a raven. In the colorful and bizarre world of today's cosplay costumes, the plague doctor shows up in a variety of forms, often more resembling some malevolent bird than the original. It is no coincidence that today it has made its way into several films, and even into absolutely modern forms of entertainment like video games. And yet, its disconcerting appearance manages to arouse a mixture of curiosity and even anxiety. Today the plague doctor mask is just one of many Venetian carnival masks or Halloween costumes. Memories of this are all gone, and thanks to the advances of modern medicine, we can no longer really relate to the profound anguish that the plague doctor mask caused in past centuries. Most severe were the plagues of 1630 and worse, that of 1575 in which a third of the population of Venice was wiped out. It was a sort of memento mori on the last day of Carnival.Īcross Europe and especially in Venice, the plague was a recurring phenomenon. On Fat Tuesday in Venice, groups of plague doctors poured into the streets, reminding passers-by to return to wearing more ordinary costumes after weeks or months of excess. ![]() That is, it served to embody the evil (or rather, the memory of the evil) in order to overcome or manage the hidden fear attached to it. As often happens, the costume took on what is called an apotropaic meaning. The plague doctor mask after centuries under a different meaning ended up becoming an iconic carnival costume. The plague doctor as a carnival costume, yesterday and today The mask served, on the one hand, to physically prevent the spirits from entering the physician's body and, on the other, to frighten them and drive those spirits away. Rather, it was believed that disease was carried by spirits or "negative influences" that caused disorder in the patent's moods. So why did it look so terrifying? The deeper aspect of the plague doctor mask has more to do with superstition and ancient ideas of the plague than with the practical needs of physicians.Īt the time of the plague, nothing was known about microbes or viruses. The plague doctor mask had a practical use to be sure. This also served specifically to avoid direct contact with the plague victims' bodies. Gloves and the wand, which the plague doctor holds in all - but rare - original representations, completed the ensemble. One could say that the plague doctor mask was the world's first attempt at a gas mask. According to the miasmatic-humoral doctrine, the plague was due to "bad air". The beak was meanwhile filled with aromatic herbs to filter and purify the air breathed by the plague doctor intended to prevent contagion. On both sides of the “beak”, two horizontal cuts were made to let air pass through. These holes were sealed by two pieces of glass, while the lower part of the face was covered by a powerful, hooked nose resembling a long beak - the plague doctor mask's trademark feature. The plague doctor mask covered the physician's face in the shape of an oval with two open round holes located in the eyes. The full outfit, which covered the plague doctor from head to foot, consisted of an outer garment tightly enclosed around the mask. The theory was that it would isolate the physician and prevent direct contact with the bodies of plague victims. It was actually worn by doctors and physicians as a medical uniform, under the supposition it would have protected them from disease when they visited people infected. In the 17th century, a famous French doctor, Charles de L'Orme, perfected the plague doctor mask, giving it the look we recognize today. We know only a little about its origins, but it is clear that the plague doctor figure was common throughout Europe since the Middle Age. ![]() ![]() ![]() You may take advantage of the Gender Balance Assessment Tool.
