![]() Some hosting providers may not offer the latest PHP versions to their customers, or they may make them optional or hard to access. When Hosting Providers Hesitate With Pushing Out New PHP Versions Note: There is also a separate situation site owners run into when they do not have processes in place to update plugins and themes to their latest versions, ultimately meaning that they cannot yet consider switching to a newer PHP version. This can cause errors or conflicts if they upgrade without making the necessary changes to their code. Some people may rely on features that are deprecated or removed in newer PHP versions, or they may use add-ons, plugins, and themes that are not compatible with the latest PHP updates. However, some people still hesitate to upgrade for various reasons, such as: Fear of Breaking the Website Functionality or Design Upgrading to a newer PHP version can bring many benefits. ![]() W3Techs estimates that only 23.1% of all PHP users are using one of the three current versions of PHP 8.Īn overwhelming majority of websites are still stuck on version 7, and more than a fifth of all websites still use PHP 5, which received its last update more than 4 years ago. However, one problem remains with PHP version usage. Even though new versions of PHP are being released, there are still many people using the older versions. PHP is still being actively developed – a new minor version of PHP is released every couple of months major releases only happen once every couple of years. PHP also plays a vital role as part of the WordPress ecosystem, as the entire CMS is built on the PHP language. It offers a range of open-source libraries and frameworks that can be used to develop efficient and secure web applications. PHP is open source and is well suited for web development. With 46 new releases since version 8.0 was released in November 2020, it has always been well-maintained, frequently updated, and kept relevant and secure. Nearly 77% of all websites on the internet today still use PHP as their server-side scripting language – and it’s safe to say that it’s not going to be dethroned anytime soon. With its roots dating back to 1994, PHP has demonstrated its enduring popularity over almost three decades. ![]() PHP stands as a testament to the evolution of web programming languages.

![]() The size and shape of the custom-ground camshaft lobe determine the amount of lift and length of the valve activity. The camshaft’s lobes push against the valve lifters as it turns, causing the valves to open and close at just the right times. Typically, a timing chain links the custom 3-bolt camshaft to the crankshaft. They are in charge of letting fuel and air in and exhaust gases out.Ī timing chain or belt connects the engine’s crankshaft to the camshaft specs. How Do Camshafts Work?Ĭamshafts function by regulating how the block engine’s valves open and close. The factory cam’s form allows it to act on a valve or switch to the extent of its severity when the shaft is rotated. ![]() The stock cam lobe’s shape influences the average duration time and lift of the lobe separation angle.Ī simple rod or shaft with shaped lobes along it makes up a camshaft. The camshafts are linked to the crankshaft’s rotation by a timing belt to guarantee this timing.Īdditionally, a camshaft’s geometry is an important factor in affecting engine performance. It must be precisely timed to the spinning of the engine.Īny timing variation from the ideal range can negatively impact engine performance. Synchronicity And ShapeĪ camshaft’s synchronization is defined as the exact time and length of the valve operation. When upgrading your engine, you can ascertain detailed engine upgrade advice and the precise type of high-performance camshaft you require and make an informed selection by knowing the GM camshaft identification codes. GM offers a variety of camshaft types, including hydraulic, solid, and hydraulic roller camshafts. The camshaft in a GM engine chooses the best timing cover and length of the valves’ action, which impacts the engine’s overall performance. It regulates how the engine’s valves open and close.Īn internal combustion engine uses an earlier model camshaft, a cylindrical rod often constructed of metal, to control other engine parts.

As produced and ready for delivery at the factory, these aircraft were flyable but also needed modifications before they were ready for combat service. Production of aircraft by United States manufacturers was increasing for both the Army Air Corps and for purchase by the British. The idea of developing a regular military service for ferrying aircraft was the result of several factors. ![]() However, it was Britain's Royal Air Force which needed massive reinforcement, especially after the losses it incurred on the continent during the German invasion of the Low Countries and France during May 1940. The French ordered Douglas DB-7 (A-20) two-engine light bombers Curtiss P-36 Hawks, and some Curtiss P-40D Warhawks, although the P-40s were never delivered. They needed immediate help for the battles they might very soon have to fight on their own soil against invading German armies. ![]() With the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939, several European governments approached the United States for military equipment. The group, redesignated the 10th Transport Group in 1937, also transported supplies from one depot to another. The Materiel Division in 1932 established a provisional 1st Air Transport Group with four transport squadrons, each of them equipped with Bellanca Aircruisers and Douglas DC-2s, intended to serve one of the four major air depots in the distribution of spare parts to Army airbases. In the early 1930s, the Air Corps began formally experimenting with the systematic use of air transport for the distribution of aviation supplies. From 1926 until 1942, the Air Corps’ logistical responsibilities were vested in the Office of the Chief of the Air Corps Materiel Division, with headquarters at Wright Field, Ohio and with four major depots (at Sacramento, California San Antonio, Texas Fairfield, Ohio and Middletown, Pennsylvania) distributed over the United States. It wasn't until the 1920s that the development of cargo and personnel transport aircraft began with aircraft such as the Boeing Model 40. Railroads were used to move the equipment and aircraft from one base to another and to the Ports of Embarkation along the East Coast for subsequent sea shipment to the battlefields of France. That system, and its functions, soon became synonymous with the organization which controlled it, the Air Transport Command.ĪTC's origins begin during World War I with the need to transport aircraft supplies and materiel from the aircraft manufacturers to the maintenance facilities supporting the training bases in the United States. The development of transport aircraft in the 1920s and 1930s added a new dimension to the art of warfare, and around its varied capacities the AAF built an air transportation system such as had never before been envisaged. ![]() It was consolidated with MAC in 1982, providing a continuous history of long range airlift through 1992 when the mission was transferred to today's Air Mobility Command.īy no means least among the achievements of the Army Air Forces (AAF) in World War II was its development of a worldwide system of air transport. Inactivated on 1 June 1948, Air Transport Command was the precursor to what became the Military Air Transport Service in 1948 and was redesignated Military Airlift Command (MAC) in 1966. ATC also operated a worldwide air transportation system for military personnel. It had two main missions, the first being the delivery of supplies and equipment between the United States and the overseas combat theaters the second was the ferrying of aircraft from the manufacturing plants in the United States to where they were needed for training or for operational use in combat. Air Transport Command ( ATC) was a United States Air Force unit that was created during World War II as the strategic airlift component of the United States Army Air Forces. What you need to consider, however, is how long you want it to last for. I don’t think anyone would expect the cheaper ones to be of better or the same quality. For the difference in price, that’s fine. For a start, the overall build quality isn’t going to be anywhere near the levels of Spalding or Silverback. So, what’s the catch? There are a few things to consider. The base has a capacity of 21 gallons, which is the lower end on this list, and the height can be adjusted from 7.6 feet to 10 feet. This set boasts a 44-inch polycarbonate backboard and heavy-duty steel poles. If you’re looking to get your kids into sports, there’s nothing wrong with going for a cheaper option like the MaxKare Portable Basketball Hoop to see how they take to it. ![]() Recommended Ages: Not Stated (but is totally suitable younger players) If they don’t, it’s not too much of a hit to take. ![]() Plus, you know, it’s super affordable, which is what you want when testing the water with new toys. This set also features a 10-gallon base, which is the lightest capacity on this list but is just enough for youngsters, the pole is rust and weather-resistant, and it comes with a five-year warranty should anything go awry. It’ high enough that it’ll require some skill to aim and get the ball in, but it’s not so high that it’s impossible to sink anything. Instead of the 7.5 to 10-feet scale, this hoop is adjustable between 5.5 and 7.5-feet.ĥ.5-foot is suitable for younger kids, let’s say ages five and up. This is PERFECT for younger kids thanks to its variable height scaling. Pro Mini Hoop Basketball System with Adjustable-Heightįor all the younger would-be basketball players out there, there’s the Lifetime Portable Basketball Hoop. Recommended Ages: Doesn’t say, but I’d recommend it for older kids It is pricey, but they don’t come any better than this, so it’s hard to grumble too much. This is THE set for players looking to become the best of the best. This set isn’t for newcomers or younger kids. Combine sand AND water and it’ll take a truck to topple this thing. This monster based can hold 200 pounds of sand or gravel or 19 gallons of water. If you’ve got any fears about this goliath toppling over, there’s no need to worry. There are two different sizes to choose from – 54 and 60-inch – and both feature an adjustable height system spanning 7.5-feet or 10-feet depending on which height suits your child.Īnd because this is Spalding, that rim you see features the company’s patented Spalding Breakaway Rim tech, meaning you can dunk as hard as you can without needing to worry about this beast breaking. ![]() You know you’re buying quality when you see the Spalding name. If you’re after one of the best basketball hoops for kids, the Spalding Ultimate Hybrid Portable Basketball Hoop is straight-up excellence.įor those unfamiliar, Spalding is to basketball what Ferrari is to cars. If you do find yourself part way through the book and are hoping it gets better, um, it doesn't. This narrator may work for some pretty specific books but here, he was as bad as the book and at least in this case, two negatives most definitely didn't make a positive. Sometimes a gifted narrator can rescue some pretty average story telling, this is not one of those times. The characters, well character is probably too strong a word, the dialog, best not mentioned, even the plot execution was pretty disjointed. This is really not good writing, actually the more you think about it, the worse you have to admit the writing is. The basic premise, that the Soviet Union elected to embark on a nuclear strike rather than concede the cold war I thought had some potential. I will update this thread and post on twitter when I have more concrete plans.I wanted to enjoy this book, I even finished it though I couldn't explain why. I pretty happy with the prototype, I'll have a full video walk-through beforehand so everyone can decide if they think it is worth it to them. And there has to be a profit in there for Tor, otherwise it's not a very effective fundraiser. That's more than I wanted it to be, but having a xiao that is arduino-reprogrammable via usb-c, 1.3" dual OLEDs instead of the typical 0.96", and finger cuffs are not cheap. dual soldermask badges, lanyards, two sets of batts, stickers, fingercuffs (for the GSR sensor), box, etc. I expect it to be sub $150 for everything. And selling at a friendly vendor booth requires them to collect tax since Tor doesn't have a non-profit booth this year. I don't have a price yet because I don't know my final costs on everything. Once I have the badges in hand and I know they work I'll finish ordering other necessary components like lanyards, batteries, boxes, etc. I'm hoping to work with a friendly vendor to help me sell these at their booth, but that is not confirmed yet. Here's a higher-res picture with the current state of the interface (there are some other modes besides this primary lie detector mode). I expect to have that available a few days before defcon starts so everyone can determine if it is worth it to them. I will post a video of the badge in action and all the features it has, if I ever get out of soldering-hell over here. There will be at least one challenge (that dreamed up) with a prize going to the winner Source is licensed under the permissive WTFPL Source code and instructions on how to reflash the badge (via an arduino IDE) will be available prior to defcon on github. If you choose to purchase a badge, thanks for supporting Tor. I do not charge for my time or effort, I only hope to recoup any material costs. I am not funded by anyone, I front all costs of development myself. Price - $120 including tax which includes the badge, custom lanyard, finger cuff cable, two sets of batts, stickers, and probably some googly eyesĪll profits from the sale of this badge go directly to the Tor project, just like 2 years ago. Hacker warehouse will have to charge tax as they are not a non-profit. Their booth will be in the vendor area of the conference, which I believe is open Thursday - Sunday (check the defcon schedule for details). Where to buy - Because Tor does not have a vendor booth this year, I've teamed up with hacker warehouse who has agreed to help sell them at their vendor booth. There is also 3.3v/gnd and other 0.1" holes available for prototyping. There are 0.1" headers for every pin on the xiao. There is one 1.69bis SAO header, finger cuffs used for the GSR sensor, and is run off two AA batts with a boost vreg to 3.3v. The stock firmware also outputs the raw data over serial USB to allow further analysis of the data on a computer. Hardware - It is run off a cortex M0+ arduino based xiao, that you can connect to via USB-C. Use it to interrogate your friends, or to practice how to get through your next fed-job interview The output of these sensors with some statistics is graphed to each of the two 1.3" OLED screens. These are two of the sensors used in a polygraph machine. The badge has two primary sensors, a GSR sensor and a heart rate sensor. What it does - It acts as a mini lie detector. I received the working boards so it looks like this is happening, here are the details: ![]() There are other apps with an educational focus that might appeal to parents looking for specific topics.

![]() More than being a fun, brutal ride, Drag Me to Hell proves that a rating can't always effectively measure how scary a movie is going to be. It's a terrifying and bleak moment that feels perfect for an R-rated horror movie, yet its actual contents don't really need to lean past a PG-13. Given Drag Me to Hell's ending, it's going to be interesting to see how Raimi intends to follow up his original film. This scene has the atmosphere, fun Raimi camerawork, gross-out gags, and dedicated performances that make Drag Me to Hell such a great horror ride. The nastiest moment of all comes next, but it's better to see than read, so if you haven't checked it out yet, go fire Drag Me to Hell up. Her face collides with the dash and sends her false teeth skyrocketing. Things get real when Brown drives her car into another, rocketing Ganush up into the front seat. Raimi is such a killer director that he even knows how to make banks, diners, and parking garages, in particular, feel nightmarish. This movie has a number of awesome eerie settings, even ones that you wouldn't initially expect to be creepy. Much like the Evil Dead cabin, Brown's big, empty, fog-swamped house has many rooms and corners that Ganush and supernatural forces could be hiding in. A movie can feel funny, intense, terrifying, or exciting, but it all depends on its atmosphere - and at the cost of nothing, at least in terms of ratings! Of course, a giant, cobwebbed mansion is easy to make creepy, especially when the film sets two séances in it. Atmosphere, more than anything, affects a film's mood. Raimi is one of the supreme horror filmmakers for being able to provide those elements to his works, but he's most underrated as an atmospheric filmmaker. It's brutal.ĭrag Me to Hell is not just a fun and effective horror movie because of its fast-paced editing, grossness, or the fact that it's led by a compelling villain. ![]() Raimi gives you a real feeling of security at the beginning of this final scene, only to savagely rip it away from you and fulfill the film's title. You won't find a meaner ending than this anywhere, folks. A train speeds over the scene, so all Dalton can do is watch. Christine then falls onto the train tracks, where the ground opens up into a pit of fire, with hands reaching out and dragging her burning body down to hell. Just when we think Dalton (Long) is about to propose to her at a train station, we realize that they never actually lifted the curse. We're rooting for her the entire movie, and eventually, she seems to have ridden herself of this curse. She's down on her luck at work, can't win over her boyfriend's parents, and on top of all of that, now she has this supernatural curse ruining her life (and possibly her afterlife). Ganush is the ultimate antagonist, Christine is the best kind of sympathetic protagonist. If you haven't seen Drag Me to Hell yet, then seriously, you don't want to know what happens. This all culminates in one of the bleakest endings that you'll find in any horror movie. 20 years later, Raimi proved that he could jam-pack a movie full of thrills and chills, even while rocking a PG-13 rating. Regardless of the original X rating that it was slapped with, Evil Dead II still proves that a film can be hilarious, no matter what its rating may indicate. ![]() ![]() Upon release, that movie won itself an X rating (and has since been rated R) due to its excessive violence. For every scare that movie throws at you, the next second it provides a laugh. Evil Dead II, in particular, is about as frightening as it is funny. These movies all pushed the boundaries of what was allowed to be shown on screen, with excessive amounts of blood and gore filling just about every frame. By 2009, He had become best known for his Spider-Man trilogy, but what originally put him on the map in the first place was his original three Evil Dead films. Sam Raimi is a filmmaker all too familiar with putting scares to film. Writers Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi Sam Raimi's Is One of Horror's Greatest Filmmakers The African male lion weights in around 450 to 500+ pounds. Normal wild Sliverbacks weight in around 400-450 pounds. That Lion on average out weights a Silverback by over 50 pounds easy. Oh another fun fact Sliverback supporters like to throw out is how much bigger a Sliverback is than a Lion.Guess what? He isn't. Sure a Gorilla is stupid strong compared to human, but a Lion is just on another level athletic wise. I mean hell even if the Lion dint bite his hands all up, whats he really going to do with them? Try and head lock a Lion? Good luck with that.lol.Īnd second what how much stronger do you really think a Silverback is than a Lion? I for one don't think he is at all. ![]() ![]() To that I say so fucking what? How good are the hands going to be after they get the fuck bit out of them in the first 10 seconds of the match? They would be like fat tasty sausage links from I-hop to the Lion. Lions were born to do this kind of shit.Ĭommon arguments for the Gorilla winning from my friends are: The Sliver back is to strong and he has fingers. I think the Lion straight up mauls the Sliver back and has him damn near bled to death in under 10 minuets. Lions have evolved into apex killing machines. Gorillas lay around all day eating plants. Not only is he a predator he is THE predator when we are talking about land mammals. My reasoning is first and foremost a Lion is predator. ![]() I for one cant believe so many people would even think this would be competitive match. So I'm coming to Sherdog to try and settle this once and for all since I can find no evidence of an actually pit fight between the two happening on the internet. Almost every time it comes to a 50/50 split on who would win. No shit it has got VERY VERY heated at times on who would come out the victor. I have been having this debate with several friends for literally YEARS now. ![]() (December 2023/January 2024, Read Full Review) Reviewer Dennis Young was enamored with the speakers’ ability to recreate a spacious soundstage and put up a convincing stereo image while delivering near full-range sound regardless of volume. At over $2,000 a pair, it’s not cheap but it does live up to the brand’s stellar reputation, mating a unique 1.1-inch fabric-dome tweeter with a 6-inch midrange driver and two 7-inch woofers in a sturdy if not pedestrian looking cabinet. The Emit 50 three-way floorstander is one of the brand’s more affordable models.

Somewhere Henry Kloss, the speaker’s original designer, is smiling. Veteran audio reviewer Tom Norton was impressed by the “huge sonic bubble” the Fives conveyed and noted how the speakers excelled with female vocals. Otherwise, it has a 10-inch pulp-paper woofer and the same rear-panel Low/Mid/Hi switch found on its predecessor. The speaker remains true to the original’s three-way acoustic-suspension design but uses a modern 1-inch aluminum-dome tweeter and a single 4-inch pulp-paper midrange driver instead of the two side-by-side 5-inch drivers in the original. KLH, one of the classic speaker brands that gave rise to mass-market hi-fi in the 1960s, is back with a re-imagined version of the iconic Model Five. Whether you’re looking for a set of floorstanding speakers for music or want to build a surround-sound system around them, the Canton Chrono 70 is a speaker that, as reviewer Michael Trei put it, punches way above its weight class. ![]() The speaker is a rear-ported two-and-a-half-way design that mates an aluminum-manganese tweeter with two 6-inch aluminum woofers in a stately 37-inch-tall cabinet offered in black or white.
