![]() ![]() Thankfully, the initial difficulty has been dialed back, and players start off well-prepared for battle. Make no mistake, though, while Rise streamlines some complexity of previous games and is more friendly to newcomers, it's still a game that requires a lot of practice and patience to excel at. Monster Hunter Rise is the next step in the evolution of the Monster Hunter series, taking everything fans have loved, stripping away some troublesome aspects, and even somehow finding room to cram in some brand-new tricks to keep things fresh. One of the rules of nature is that things must evolve or die, and this franchise has shattered the limits of the popular adventure games with vast improvement on its hunting formula. With the fate of your village's survival on the line, will you prove to be a legendary hunter? Or will you fall as prey to these apex predators? The Xbox and PlayStation versions have significantly reduced load times, as well as performance or visual fidelity modes, and the PlayStation version also comes with haptic feedback for the DualShock 5 controller. ![]() Players can battle alone or form a hunting party with up to three friends in local and online play, allowing them to hunt the way they choose and rise through the rank of the Guild. You can also mount a creature and rein it in, bending the monster to your will as you charge into the fray, and bolster your ranks with a new Palamute companion, carrying you into battle and fighting by your side with ferocious loyalty. Thankfully, you've got a few new tricks up your sleeve this time around, like swinging through the air and zipping along the ground with your new Wirebug grappling tool. Now, as the people prepare for yet another onslaught, it falls to you to defend the village from primal threats while trying to uncover the source of the creatures' sudden rage. It's been more than half a century since the last time the beasts went berserk, and the village barely survived. Your timing couldn't be any better, either, because rampaging creatures from all over have started to migrate toward your home of Kamura Village, leaving chaos and destruction in their wake. You've just succeeded in your rite of passage and become the latest addition to the Hunter's Guild. ![]() Hunting season is back on the Switch with MONSTER HUNTER RISE, part of Capcom's fan-favorite fantasy franchise. Online voice chat on the PC, PlayStation, and Xbox versions could expose younger players to offensive language and conversations. Parents should also be aware that players can open their village to online play, allowing up to three other players to join their game and hunt together. Meanwhile, returning players will need to adjust to some of the new features added to the classic formula. ![]() There's a steep learning curve for newcomers to the series, with every weapon handling in its own unique way and catering to different styles of play. There are occasional splashes of blood and killed animals disappear from the screen after a short time. While the violence is persistent, there's very little in the way of blood or gore shown onscreen. Combat is a constant part of each quest and hunt, with players using an arsenal of various weapons and traps to defeat the creatures. Players take on the role of a titular Monster Hunter, exploring the land and hunting or trapping massive fantasy creatures for research and materials while also defending your village from a rising primal threat. Parents need to know that Monster Hunter Rise is a fantasy action role-playing game available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and Windows based PCs. ![]()

Today, Baylor, McLennan Community College, and Texas State Technical College continue to operate in McLennan County. Around the same time, what is now the flagship institution of Texas State Technical College was founded as James Connally Technical Institute, as a member of the Texas A&M University System. In the 1960s, the Texas Legislature authorized McLennan Community College, the first community college to use those words in the name. In addition to Baylor, the other colleges included the predecessor to what is now known as Texas Christian University (now in Fort Worth), Paul Quinn College (relocated since to Dallas), and two other short-lived colleges. During the early 20th century, McLennan County was home to as many as five colleges. In 1886, Baylor University relocated from Independence, Texas, to Waco and absorbed Waco University. Dodson, and completed in 1877 at a cost of $24,894.50. The third courthouse was styled after Second Empire by architect W.C. McLennan's second courthouse was a two-story brick building completed in 1857 for $11,000. The first county courthouse was completed in 1851 for $500, and was a two-story log cabin that was 30' x 30'. Of the eighteen he designed, thirteen remain standing. Completed in 1902 in the Beaux Arts Style, it is the next-to-last example of Architect James Riely Gordon's Texas courthouses. The current County Courthouse is located in the county seat, Waco, Texas, and is the county's fourth courthouse. Local man James Connally became known as a World War II fighter pilot. ![]() County resident Doris Miller was awarded the Navy Cross for his heroism at Pearl Harbor he was the first African American to earn such distinction. The latter is now used as the TSTC Waco Airport and Texas State Technical College. McLennan County's contributions to World War II include the reopening of Rich Field for use by the Air Force, and the opening of James Connally Air Force Base. The county had 15 lynchings, the second-highest number of any county in the state. In the aftermath of World War I, when social tensions were high as veterans returned, white racial violence broke out against blacks. During World War I, McLennan County was home to at least one military airfield, Rich Field. Waco is also home to the Dr Pepper Museum, housed in the 1906 building that was the first stand-alone facility used to bottle Dr Pepper.Īccording to local lore, the first sustained flight did not occur in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but just outside Tokio (a small community in McLennan County) by a man flying a gyrocopter. The Dr Pepper business was headquartered in Waco, until it moved to Dallas, Texas. In the 1880s, pharmacist Charles Alderton developed the carbonated beverage that became known as Dr Pepper. ![]() Erath, and was known by 1850 as Waco Village. The county seat, Waco, had been founded as an outpost of the Texas Rangers. McLennan County was created by the Texas Legislature in 1850 out of Milam County. McLennan County is included in the Waco Metropolitan Statistical Area. The county is named for Neil McLennan, an early Scottish settler who worked to evict the Indians in frontier Texas. census 2022 county population estimate is 266,836. Its county seat and largest city is Waco. As of the 2020 census, its population was 260,579. McLennan County is a county located on the Edwards Plateau in Central Texas. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As Franky pointed out, his skills are amateur and he barely knows how to use a hammer correctly for such jobs. For other more complex activities, such as acting as the Shipwright for the Going Merry, he is largely inexperienced, as he was barely able to keep the Going Merry going doing patchwork repairs. He also appears to have some knowledge concerning chemistry, being solely responsible for manufacturing the highly innovative slingshot pellets, or "stars", that he uses for ammunition. ![]() His creative engineering has resulted in the creation of both the Clima-Tact and Kabuto. Prior to the introduction of Franky, Usopp served as the Straw Hat's sole unofficial gadgets and mechanics specialist. Examples of this include being the first one to see Gekko Moriah inside the stomach of the gargantuan zombie, Oars, and being the only one able to see the harpy Monet watching them on Punk Hazard. Usopp also has impeccable eyesight, and has on more than one occasion seen or noticed things before his crewmates. His marksmanship is nearly unmatched, hitting Spandam and some Marines from a distance of over a mile (out-distancing even the guns the Marines had) with the wind against him. He has also been proven clever enough to stop a foe like Caesar Clown from escaping by surprising him with a pair of Kairoseki handcuffs that he fired at him, effectively negating his Logia powers. He then later understood that a plan would not work as Caesar Clown was in control of the gases around him and that if he removed the oxygen from the atmosphere, the flame would no longer burn. For example, in his battle against Caeser Clown he understood that even though Caesar Clown had the Gasu Gasu no mi, therefore making him a Logia type, he would still explode if he was exposed to fire as he was still just gas. His abilities rely primarily on his resourcefulness and understanding towards engineering (such as easily understanding the tunnel networks made by Miss Merry Christmas), and using the cannons of the ship with great ease. In a challenge to shoot a whale-shaped weather vane that was far off in the distance, he managed to shoot the center of a jewel on the whale's crown, which amazed a bounty hunter named Daddy Mastersons, an ex-Marine sniper. Since early in the series, he was shown to have inherited much of his father Yasopp's exceptional marksman skills. Usopp's role in the crew is that of the sniper, and also a jack-of-all-trades craftsman. ![]() ![]() ![]() Building your own test equipment is not only cheaper but also a great way to improve your knowledge. But owning one is a problem because such basic equipment can cost a fortune. If the amplitude of the sine wave produced at the output of sine wave shaping circuit is insufficient, then it can be amplified to the required value by using sine wave amplifier.If you are an electronic enthusiast like me who wants to tweak around with different electronic circuits, having a decent Function Generator sometimes becomes mandatory. Basically, this circuit consists of a diode resistance network. The sine wave shaping circuit will produce a sine wave output from the triangular input wave. If the amplitude of the square wave that is produced at the output of voltage comparator multi vibrator is not sufficient, then it can be amplified to the required value by using a square wave amplifier. The voltage comparator multi vibrator present in above block diagram will produce a square wave. One type of constant (higher) voltage at the output of voltage comparator multi vibrator for the period during which the voltage comparator multi vibrator gets the positive slope of the triangular wave.Īnother type of constant (lower) voltage at the output of voltage comparator multi vibrator for the period during which the voltage comparator multi vibrator gets the negative slope of the triangular wave. So, the voltage comparator multi vibrator present in above block diagram will produce the following two types of output for equal amount of time repeatedly. ![]() The triangular wave has positive slope and negative slope alternately for equal amount of time repeatedly. Let us discuss about these two one by one. the triangular wave is applied as an input to two other blocks as shown in above block diagram in order to get the square wave and sine wave respectively. In this way, the integrator present in above block diagram will produce a triangular wave. The output voltage of an integrator decreases linearly with respect to time for the period during which integrator gets current from lower current source. The output voltage of an integrator increases linearly with respect to time for the period during which integrator gets current from upper current source. ![]() So, the integrator will produce two types of output for the same time repeatedly − Integrator present in the above block diagram, gets constant current alternately from upper and lower current sources for equal amount of time repeatedly. These two current sources are regulated by the frequency-controlled voltage. There are two current sources, namely upper current source and lower current source in above block diagram. Consider the following block diagram of a Function generator, which will produce periodic waves like triangular wave, square wave and sine wave. Function Generatorįunction generator is a signal generator, which generates three or more periodic waves. In this way, the block diagram that we considered can be used to produce either AF sine wave or AF square wave based on the requirement. If the switch is used to connect the output of Wien bridge oscillator to lower path, then it will produce a desired AF square wave at the output of lower path. The square wave shaper converts the sine wave into a square wave. The lower path consists of the following blocks: square wave shaper, square wave amplifier, and attenuator. If the switch is used to connect the output of Wien bridge oscillator to upper path, it will produce a desired AF sine wave at the output of upper path. The upper path consists of the blocks like sine wave amplifier and attenuator. Based on the requirement, we can connect the output of Wien bridge oscillator to either upper path or lower path by a switch. Wien bridge oscillator will produce a sine wave in the range of audio frequencies. Upper path is used to produce AF sine wave and the lower path is used to produce AF square wave. The above block diagram consists of mainly two paths. ![]() Its block diagramis shown in below figure. The AF signal generator, which generates either sine wave or square wave in the range of audio frequencies based on the requirement is called AF Sine and Square wave generator. the range of audio frequencies is 20Hz to 20KHz. The signal generator, which produces the periodic signal having a frequency of Audio Frequency (AF) range is called AF signal generator. It is also called an oscillator, since it produces periodic signals. Signal generator is an electronic equipment that provides standard test signals like sine wave, square wave, triangular wave and etc. ![]() ![]() Do you want to know how well it works? Well, I just wrote this paragraph with my voice, and it didn’t have any mistakes. You can now start using dictation on your Mac. Start talking, and your Mac will do the rest.Īnd that’s it.

Trigger dictation with the keyboard shortcut you chose.Put your cursor in the place you want to write.It can be Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Safari, or any other app where you can type. First, open an app where you can type.Let’s start using Dictation and let our Mac do the job for us. If you feel that’s something you don’t want to share with Apple, you should turn Dictation off. It’s also worth noting that Dictation sends information like your voice input, contacts, and location to Apple to process your requests. ![]() It’s worth noting that some MacBook keyboards already have a dictation shortcut located in the F6 key. If you click the drop-down menu, your Mac will give you a list of default shortcuts, but you can also create your own as long as that keyboard shortcut doesn’t already exist. You can also create a shortcut to trigger Dictation. There are a lot of languages to choose from, and you won’t need to change your Mac’s primary language to use it. Now Dictation is enabled on your Mac! As you probably saw in the settings, you can also change the language you want to use to dictate to your Mac. For that, you’ll need to enable this feature in your Mac settings like this: This is super useful if you’re behind on an assignment or just don’t want to type at all.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that’s the only way to write all your thoughts. Sure, Apple’s had some issues with MacBook keyboards in the past, but most Apple keyboards still work like a charm whether you’re working or chatting with someone. The Mac’s keyboard, for the most part, works pretty well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If done by other than the manufacturer, it may void the warranty. Replacing a damaged screen is extremely expensive. Simply applying a screen protector will not only protect the screen from the casual scratches and scuffs, it will also keep grease and oil off the screen preserving its shine. Furthermore, as the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is prone to skin oil from the face and hands, a layer of grease formulates and sticks to the surface of the screen dimming its glim. ![]() These scratches weaken the surface of the screen making it more susceptible to failing if subjected to direct impact like a drop. Without a screen protector your valuable smartphone will start showing scuffs and scratches. Any type of screen protector would help protect the screen and preserve the value of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max as it would aid in eliminating signs of wear and tear on the screen.Ĭonstant use of your Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max will undoubtedly render signs of weariness. Although smartphone screens are not as brittle as they were once, keeping your Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max without a screen protector is not an option. Using a screen with scratches, a crack running along the side or broken glass is certainly unpleasant. After all, the screen is the essence of the device and any damage to it hinders usability and interaction. Whilst accessorising and protecting your Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max with a case is trendy and important, screen protection is integral.
