![]() While Bo Nix had a fantastic season and proved many doubters wrong last year, he has to do it again without Kenny Dillingham. Dan Lanning hit the jackpot with his new extension and expectations are that he will deliver a Pac-12 title in 2023. They showed up looking sharp and acted like they were the class of the Pac-12 despite missing last year’s Pac-12 title game and not having won the conference since the COVID shortened 2020 season. While former Kent State quarterback Collin Schlee has the veteran experience, UCLA’s momentum when it comes to recruiting and future success lands on the five-star freshman’s shoulders. Moore’s ability to develop and pick up coach Kelly’s offense will greatly determine the Bruins’ success this season. While the former Oregon and NFL head coach is always a great interview, UCLA lacks star power when it comes to their players thus dragging down their overall V.I.B.E.S. While both Southern California schools are headed to the Big 10 next season, Kelly has given Bruins fans their best two-season stretch since 20. UCLAĬhip Kelly finds himself between quarterback eras at UCLA after Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s reign has ended and incoming five-star freshman Dante Moore patiently waits for his time. de Laura and Arizona’s supremely talented group of wide receivers will make them one of the most explosive teams in the country once again but will the defense be able to hold up their end? 9. scale, the Wildcats failed to make a great impact other than Fisch’s valid optimism about Arizona’s chances in 2023. Beyond that, Treydan Stukes was a joy to talk to and has become Arizona’s defensive captain after joining the team as a walk-on. Jedd Fisch bought himself sometime in his press conference by taking the podium and generally addressing the media. While the media deal and Coach Prime’s health were the main storylines, Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch and quarterback Jayden de Laura had to face the media and address the allegations surrounding de Laura of sexual assault. Stanford has a spot in the college football landscape, but last-place expectations and conference stability could spell the end of Stanford’s time as a conference title contender for some time. The Cardinal has called the Pac-12 home since 1968 but after Colorado’s move, it seems as if the conference is on the verge of collapsing. Stanford’s place in the college football world is as uncertain as any team in the country at this point. All three Stanford representatives were smart, insightful and fascinating people to talk to. Wide receiver John Humphreys and linebacker Tristan Sinclair spoke like guys from Stanford and emphasized the team’s commitment to Taylor’s vision. While expectations are low, Taylor walked and talked like a head coach who will be afforded plenty of time to reset the standard. Stanfordĭavid Shaw has stepped away and now former Sacramento State head coach Troy Taylor leads the way for a Cardinal program that has not won more than four games since 2019. Michael Sturdivant heading south to play for UCLA?Īs the program currently stands, Cal doesn’t move the needle for the Pac-12 in terms of public interest and was an afterthought when it came to Pac-12 media day. Will Justin Wilcox make it through the season? Will Sam Jackson be able to live up to his recruiting hype and break out as one of the better young quarterbacks in the Pac-12? Is Jeremiah Hunter enough at wide receiver for the Bears to be explosive with J. The Golden Bears were the lone team that Colorado was able to beat last year and they face a variety of challenges entering the 2023 season. ![]() CalĪpparently, the Cal Golden Bears were present at Pac-12 media day with head coach Justin Wilcox, linebacker Jackson Sirmon and offensive lineman Matthew Cindric representing the University of California. Swag not just how they dressed but the level of conviction and confidence they had when speaking. Expectations: a combination of how the college football community views their 2023 season unfolding and their chances of matching or exceeding those expectations. ![]() Belief how believable they were they when they spoke. Interesting how quotable they were at media day. ![]() Value how much their presence contributed to media day. stands for value, interesting, belief, expectations and swag and each team will be assigned a 1-10 rating for each category. After Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders announced he would be going into surgery, the Pac-12’s media deal and realignment took center stage but DNVR was still able to properly evaluate each team’s V.I.B.E.S. The Pac-12 congregated under the blistering desert sun last Friday for what will be the conference’s final media day as the Pac-12 currently stands.

They are also ideal for use in the garage, gym rooms, and studios.Īlthough the interlocking floor mats do not give a full-sound deadened effect, they achieve a whole lot. Interlocking floor mats are durable, easy to clean, and even made of antibacterial materials. All you have to do is purchase the floor mats and fix them over your existing floor. They can also be easily cut to fit the corners of your room. Their edges are designed in such a way that the pieces fit or interlock by the sides. These floor mats come in different textures, sizes, and designs but typically, they are just like padded tiles. All you have to do is purchase your chosen design in enough quantity to cover your entire floor. Using interlocking floor mats is one of the easiest ways of soundproofing. Here are seven easiest ways to soundproof a floor: 1. The soundproofing quality would also directly depend on the weight of the material used on or under the floor. How to Soundproof a Floorįor soundproofing a floor, materials with good noise-reducing qualities would be required to achieve the desired sound insulation. You have more to work with, and everything is much easier to put into place. It is a lot easier to build your soundproofing floor on a naked one. It also costs a whole lot more to do permanent soundproofing. It is preferable to opt for temporary means if you are a tenant. Is this a permanent or temporary living solution? So it is always best to go for something you are financially comfortable doing. Some ways cost more than others especially if you need to hire professional help. For one thing, they could help you decide what would best suit your home. If you can’t go through the trouble of soundproofing your floors yourself, you can always hire a professional. When you want to soundproof your floors, you put certain things into consideration, that would help you make decisions on what method to use. Hence, soundproofing your floors helps to treat these. The airborne noise includes sounds from people talking, dogs barking, cars moving or blowing horns, music and especially someone throwing a party below you. ![]() In an apartment such as mine, it seems to travel upwards through the floors. So, it kind of spreads out through the atmosphere. Airborne NoiseĪirborne noise is transmitted through the air. However, soundproofing my floors will also save me from my fair share of impact noise and make me a better neighbor. Naturally, impact noise affects the person living below the floor more than it would affect me. Impact noise travels freely through the air and the ceiling below. ![]() Examples are footsteps, dragging of furniture, and other sounds like dropping something heavy. Impact noise is also known as footfall noise, and as the name implies, this noise is produced from the impact of an object on the floor. Now, I decided to soundproof my floors because that treats two kinds of noise for me. So, depending on where you think you need to soundproof, there are some ways to go about this.Īlthough some ways are more comfortable than others, it is all dealers’ choice. It is quite popular nowadays especially in houses where tenants share walls. ![]() Soundproofing is an efficient way of blocking sound from entering or leaving a room. But I found most of the information I am going to share here. I then came across the idea of soundproofing.Īt first, it seemed like such a big deal, and I never thought I would be able to do it. For a while I was in a frustrating state, not knowing what to do about the noise coming from below me.Įven merely moving furniture across the room produces such loud noise. Given the nature of my job and my lifestyle, it makes it all the more intolerable. Noise is something I find very difficult to tolerate and this post is about different ways to soundproof a floor. ![]() ![]() ![]() The aesthetic looks lovely, the idea is amazing, and I’m just a sucker for anything related to the underworld, undead, or the dead. ![]() It’s interesting and sounds fun but again, I think it’s best enjoyed when you haven’t seen much of it, so keep the spoilers low and just get to playing, eh? Meanwhile, West of Dead is a grim and gritty stylised cover-based roguelike-shooter set in the world of Purgatory! You use your cover tactically and have to outgun your enemies in unknown procedurally generating hunting grounds. You have your tasks of rolling ads, bleeping the swears, choosing angles, cutting together footage, and many more things… and well, you can either do it as the higher-ups want you to… or you don’t. Not For Broadcast is a Simulation game along the lines of Papers, Please and Beholder. I’ve seen my friend MuddChi play it a while ago but it looked so bizarre and unique… I didn’t understand anything but I loved it all the more so! Really looking forward to this as well, especially as it’s another game published by Raw Fury who are known for publishing great games. There are bosses, different plants, weapons, love interests, and lots of bullets. It’s pretty much up my alley, from what I can tell, and hence, I’m looking forward to it… Also, it’s another Cyberpunk-themed game, so hey why not? Meanwhile, Atomicrops lets you farm, harvest, marry and explore your way to victory in an action-packed roguelike x farming sim kind of way. I’ve seen some videos here and there but haven’t spoiled myself too much. Neon Abyss basically takes the customization of Noita and fits it into the bullet-hell formula of games like Enter the Gungeon and what you get looks quite fun. Let’s phrase it like that.įirst up, there are two roguelikes here that I’m super excited about – Atomicrops and Neon Abyss. Those are the titles I’m looking forward to while most of the other titles are… They exist. Since Neon Abyss, Not For Broadcast, Röki, West of Dead, Orwell: Ignorance is Strength, and Heaven’s Vault are pretty much on the same level, as far as “ranking” is concerned, I won’t rank these titles. I haven’t seen any interesting titles here that I wasn’t aware of already but in essence, it’s great. This month’s Choice features a whole lot of great titles that I’m really interested in, especially as most of them have been on my wishlist. I’m sure he’s got his post on this month’s Choice out soon as well! Also, as always, I was inspired by Naithin to make these posts, so check him out while you’re here. At least not on my blog, but regardless of the numbers behind it, I like writing these posts and I’m thinking of changing things up a little bit by talking more about the games I like and less about the games I don’t like. Not gonna lie, Humble Choice posts are probably the most fun ones to make out there second only to my review, although I must say that nobody seems to care about them. ![]() ![]() While the 1945 statement did not address any scheduling issues, it did affirm the observance at the eight institutions of common practices in academic standards, eligibility requirements, and the administration of financial aid for athletes. These tenets are what still bind the Ivies together today and all continue to be based on the desire to secure competition with others having like philosophies. The athletic directors, at the direction of the presidents, were then more formally organized as a committee for cooperative endeavor in the details of athletic administration and a dean from each school was appointed to committee to exchange information on eligibility and to act for the presidents in cooperation with the athletic directors. The designation 'Ivy League' first appeared at the typewriter of Caswell Adams of the New York Tribune in 1937. The tag, premature of any formal agreement, was immediately adopted by the press as a foreshadowing of an eastern football league which at the time, was big news to everyone except the athletic directors involved.įor years, the Ivy members had already been allied in leagues in basketball, ice hockey, baseball and swimming. Further common competition was found in the Heptagonal Games Association, which included Army and Navy, in the sports of baseball, track and field, and swimming. ![]() ![]() Through these other scheduling arrangements, the Ivy athletic directors were used to dealing with each other in matters of administration or the exchange of calculated confidences.Īs a result of these dealings, and through extensive presidential meetings and discussions, the first 'Ivy Group Agreement'-addressing only football-was signed in 1945. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() In 1937, Land-Wheelwright became a public company named Polaroid Corporation after the trade name for the firm’s polarizing films. ![]() The company also invented a new product called a vectograph that combined two still images taken from slightly different positions and printed as oppositely-polarized images using polarized glasses, viewers saw a 3-D image of the subject. 3-D movies were created by applying polarizers to projectors and viewing glasses. The company’s inexpensive polarizers were used in photographic filters, glare-free sunglasses, and stereoscopic products that gave the illusion of three-dimensional (3-D) images. Wheelwright, III (1903–2001), a Harvard colleague, formed Land-Wheelwright Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to manufacture polarizers. Although it took several years to perfect, this method resulted in the commercial production of polarized sheets. By 1930, Land had identified a more promising way to manufacture polarizing sheets: Instead of using electromagnets, he could apply the tiny crystals to a plastic sheet and, by stretching it, achieve parallel alignment of the crystals. He returned to Harvard in the same year but left again before completing his undergraduate degree to focus on his emerging business. In 1929, Land applied for his first patent, a method for producing his polarizing sheets. As the lacquer dried, the crystals retained their orientation, and the result was a polarizing sheet that was thin, transparent, and pliable. He then pulled a sheet of celluloid (a thin, clear plastic) through this solution to make a continuous sheet of crystals. He created fine polarizing crystals, suspended them in liquid lacquer, and aligned them using an electromagnet. Land recognized an alternative, and he worked to arrange a mass of microscopic crystals to produce the same effect. Herapath had sought, with little success, to produce large synthetic crystals that would mimic the natural crystals that were the most useful polarizers available at the time. Land’s experiments built on those of the British chemist and surgeon William Herapath (1820–1868). There, he worked to develop a synthetic polarizer. He moved to New York City, where he studied physical optics independently at the New York Public Library and conducted experiments secretly at Columbia University. In 1926, Land enrolled at Harvard University to study physics, but his desire to conduct research caused him to leave after only a few months in search of more practical opportunities. Moreover, because glare would be eliminated, headlights could be made brighter, thereby increasing the safety of nighttime driving. Almost from the start of his work, around age 13, Land was searching for a product that would improve vehicle safety during nighttime driving: If polarizers could be placed in headlights and windshields, then they could be used to prevent the disturbing glare from oncoming vehicles’ headlights. Land imagined important uses for synthetic polarizers, if they could be produced. Natural polarizers were effective at reducing glare and measuring angles of reflectivity, but they were large and expensive. By doing so, polarizers provide the ability to select light waves with particular orientations. ![]() ![]() These invisible slats stop all angles of light except those parallel to the openings. A polarizer acts like a slatted screen, with long, thin, parallel openings. As the waves move forward, they vibrate vertically, horizontally, and at all angles in between. Polarization refers to a physical property of light waves. In particular, he was drawn to the natural phenomenon of light polarization. The system soon became a big success.As a boy, Land was fascinated by light. This got Land to think about such possibilities, and early in 1947, the Polaroid Model 95 camera and the related Type 40 Land film producing black-and-white images began to be offered on the market. When in New Mexico in 1944, Land’s three-year-old daughter Jennifer asked him why the camera he used could not immediately produce an image. During World War II, the company developed new kinds of night vision goggles and a system that could reveal enemies in camouflage uniforms. He and a partner formed a company that produced polarized sheets, named Polaroid Corporation in 1937. He returned to Harvard where he concentrated on chemistry and physics. He educated himself at the New York Public Library and experimented after hours at a Columbia University laboratory where he invented the Polaroid J sheet, an arrangement of microscopic crystals on a plastic sheet filtering out certain kinds of polarized light, used for example in sunglasses. He spent one year at Harvard University studying chemistry, dropped out and moved to New York City. He was educated at Norwich Free Academy in Norwich, CT, where he graduated with honors. Edwin Land was born on May 7, 1909, in Bridgeport, CT, to Harry and Martha Land. ![]() ![]() For the convenience of our readers, we have listed here Islamic Date across different cities, villages and towns of United States.
