I watched an online tutorial that proves the Studio version is 15 seconds faster (for his short video test) in rendering time and it utilizes 30% rather than 60% of its CPU. I enjoy editing as much as anyone, but faster means less time waiting. With the Studio version you have access to GPU hardware accelerated encoding on certain H.264 and H.265 codecs (which is much faster than the free version’s CPU encoding). While both the free and the Studio versions will use a GPU for processing, the Studio version will recognize up to nine GPUs, scaling with you as your needs grow. ![]() The time saved through faster processing and the extra features will allow you to create the finest possible product in the shortest amount of time.īlackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 - $295 (MSRP) Besides the extra features in ResolveFX effects, export options and sound effects, the DaVinci Neural Engine is by far the strongest reason to upgrade to the lifetime option of DaVinci Resolve Studio. ![]()

In March of 2014, we moved into our own place right here in Whitehall. We made all of our bars in 2013 at the Starting Block which worked well for the small volume we were doing, but to do this on a bigger scale, we needed our own kitchen. By the end of 2013, we had 6 locations selling our bars and many more interested for the next summer. This gave us the idea to sell them in places other than just our truck. We dressed up a freezer to look like an old ice box, set up inside the Hokey Pokey, and it actually did quite well. When we were talking with one of the owners of the Hokey Pokey in Whitehall, she had the idea of selling the bars in their store too. The original idea was to produce the Ice Box Bars to sell on the ice cream truck in the streets and at special events. The Starting Block is an incubator kitchen, and the staff there were extremely helpful in getting my business licensed and legal. We eventually came upon the Starting Block in Hart, MI. When spring time came, we had our menu figured out. Our kids Nick, Lainey, and Lili were the official taste testers, along with some friends and family. I worked on dozens of different flavor combinations and had to figure out a way to hand-make ice cream bars. We liked it because it is old fashioned and sounds very comforting. That winter I thought that I could come up with better stuff than what we were selling on the truck, and the Ice Box Brand was born. We worked on the streets of Whitehall for the rest of the summer selling treats to all the neighborhood kids (and adults!). Well, next thing ya know, ol’ Chris is the ice cream man! We came home the very next day with our new family member and our business was born. We had no intention of actually buying it, we just wanted to take it for a test drive. The family loaded up in the van and we headed down to Grand Rapids to just “look” at it. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular when a big, shiny, aluminum ice cream truck popped up for sale.

So the body of the loop is only executed when i is 0, 1, 2, and 3.Įach time through the loop we use i as an index into the array, displaying the ith element. ![]() When i is 4, the condition fails and the loop terminates. One of the most common ways to index an array is with a loop variable. You can use any expression as an index, as long as it has type int. When you create an array of ints, the elements are initialized to zero.įigure 8.1 shows a state diagram of the counts array so far. ![]() If you try to create an array with −4 elements, for example, you will get a NegativeArraySizeException.Īn array with zero elements is allowed, and there are special uses for such arrays that we’ll see later on. You can use any integer expression for the size of an array, as long as the value is nonnegative. Of course, you can also declare the variable and create the array in a single line of code: int counts = new int The second makes values refer to an array of double, where the number of elements in values depends on the value of size. The first assignment makes count refer to an array of four integers. To create the array itself, you have to use the new operator, which we first saw in Section 3.2: counts = new int To create an array, you have to declare a variable with an array type and then create the array itself.Īrray types look like other Java types, except they are followed by square brackets ( ).įor example, the following lines declare that counts is an “integer array” and values is a “double array”: int counts You can make an array of ints, doubles, or any other type, but all the values in an array must have the same type. ![]() 8.1 Creating arraysĪn array is a sequence of values the values in the array are called elements.

There are many causes and factors of nonunions such as lack of Vitamin D and inadequate immobilization that can be reversed and treated. In many cases, your doctor may be able to identify and treat the cause of the nonunion. If you have a pacemaker or a defibrillator, unless you talk to your cardiologist first.If you have a “false joint” (pseudarthrosis).If your fracture gap is greater than 50% of the diameter of the bone.If your bone is stabilized with magnetic materials.People with a growth disorder (skeletal immaturity).Įxperts say that bone stimulators shouldn’t be used in these situations: ![]() The use of bone stimulators hasn’t been found to cause any adverse side effects. Īn implanted electrical stimulator may cost up to $5,000. The cost may depend on the manufacturer and type of bone stimulator. If your doctor has prescribed a bone stimulator, check with your insurance to see if they cover the cost, or ask your doctor how much it will cost. They say that improvements in modern surgical techniques may have lessened the potential benefit of stimulators. Other experts say that recent data doesn’t show the benefit of the use of these stimulators. One study found that healthcare costs were lower among those who used bone stimulators compared to those who received low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation or neither treatment for their nonunion fractures.īut a different study found that those receiving bone stimulators had higher health-related costs over a year compared to those who didn’t use stimulators. Studies of the use of electrical bone stimulation have also found that it may speed up healing time in smokers. The effectiveness of electrical bone stimulators hasn’t been determined, and studies have had mixed results.Ī 2008 review of scientific trials on electric stimulators found that pain was reduced in only one of the four trials. An implanted stimulator allows for constant stimulation directly at the fracture site but may cause infection. īone stimulators are either external or surgically implanted into the area of the affected bone. To be effective, bone stimulator treatment must be used every day. It uses ultrasonic or pulsed electromagnetic waves. What Are Bone Stimulators?Ī bone stimulator is a device that generates an electric current meant to encourage bone growth. If a broken bone doesn’t heal in nine months, it’s considered a nonunion fracture. Medications such as anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and aspirin.Some other factors also increase the risk of your fracture not healing on its own, including: These fractures are also more likely if they were caused by a severe injury, like the kind experienced in a car crash, which reduces blood supply to the affected area. Nonunion fractures typically happen when your bone doesn’t have enough blood flow or stability, or both. ![]() ![]() On more than one occasion I found myself stuck simply because I wasn't looking hard enough, or in the right place. The whirring, animated circus of Machinarium has a habit of hiding must-have objects and blurring the line between things you can interact with and things that exist simply to look pretty. Unless, of course, you can't find an important item. Each puzzle is usually contained to a few screens, too, so you won't have to traipse back and forth across the city feeling bemused and confused. On the whole its puzzles are extremely clever, and clues - once again suggested by actions and visuals rather than words and dialogue - nudge you along the right path. Machinarium is a true point-and-click adventure with items to pick up, problems to solve, logic puzzles to overcome, and a bottomless inventory of junk to lug about with you. You'll definitely spend a lot of time doing that as you flutter between the game's various rooms, meeting mute characters and working towards your goals. Most importantly, it's a warm - though otherworldly - locale that you'll just want to spend time pottering about in. ![]() In some ways, the hopeless, crumbling facade of Machinarium makes for a rather grim backdrop, but the robots you meet and the events that unfold - all drawn and animated with care - give this microadventure a true sense of character.Īll in all, Machinarium presents a plausible land of automata, and not just a series of inter-connected, puzzle-filled screens. It's drenched in muted colours and dilapidated mess. There are dogs made of cogs, dancing wrenches, and elderly church-goers. It's two parts steam punk, one part dystopia. The city itself is a scrappy and arcane metropolis, laced with pipes and tubes over Victorian tiles and wallpaper. He needs to sneak back in, avoid playground bullies, save his girlfriend from robo-slavery, and defuse a bomb.įittingly, its humour is delivered in silent slapstick with over the top expressions and cute set-ups. You play as a stretchy robot boy who's been tossed into the scrapheap outside city limits. Without dialogue, Machinarium's narrative is necessarily subtle and understated. Thoughts, feelings, and desires are instead shown as doodley animations in pop-up thought bubbles, and the backstory to Machinarium's quirky city is revealed in its inhabitants, objects, colours, and mechanisms. Outside 'Save' and 'Load', there isn't a word of dialogue throughout the entire adventure. ![]() It urges would-be movie makers to reveal facts about the world and its characters through actions, rather than boring exposition and endless voice over.Ĭzech point-and-clicker Machinarium from Amanita design is all about the power of showing over telling.Įverything you need to know about the game, from the steampunk cityscape to the bullies who preside over it, from your hero's love for a tin can girl-bot to a woman's worry for her lost robodog, is portrayed through sounds, sights, and gorgeous hand-drawn art.
