With the Shadows option enabled, it took Voyager more than 2 hours to render the same image. For example, the image on this page took just over 18 minutes to render on a 15-inch 1.25GHz PowerBook G4 at Best quality (see “Creating a Scene”). Even a relatively fast Mac can take more than 15 minutes to render a complex still image at the program’s default resolution of 2,048 by 1,152 pixels, and several hours to produce a 30-second, 15-fps, 320-by-240 QuickTime movie. Rendering images takes all the processing power your Mac can spare. Voyager is a 3D renderer for the ArtMatic engine. Designer is a modular synthesizer for creating 2D Graphics, 3D models, Sound Design, and Music, but it is also a 3D model editor for Voyager. Each expand the possibilities of the others in unique ways. But note that such functions expose Voyager’s biggest weakness. The ArtMatic engine is the heart of a suite of integrated applications. In addition to creating static images, you can select different locations on your map, save each selection as a keyframe, and create a QuickTime movie that animates the journey through each keyframe - giving the impression of moving from one place to another. A vegetation-generation feature would be welcome. Voyager makes some beautiful landscapes, but they can be a little stark, looking more synthetic than those produced by Terragen, a free but far more complicated application (Although you can produce superb snowy peaks, brilliant blue oceans, and haunting desert scenes, the green gradients you can apply to images don’t quite evoke lush prairies or tree-studded hillsides. Once there, you can change views by rotating the compass points or using your keyboard’s arrow keys to move forward, backward, left, or right. To move to a new location, click on a small map or on the Dice icon to be transported to a random location.

The Volt offers industry-leading smartphone integration, with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with an onboard, available OnStar 4G LTE connection-features that will leave the next 100,000 owners of the Chevrolet Volt even more satisfied. Based on Chevrolet data, Chevrolet expects the average 2017 Volt driver who fully charges the car regularly to travel more than 1,000 miles between gas fill ups.* The second-generation Volt is 220 pounds lighter than the first-generation and delivers 19 percent stronger 0-30 mph electric acceleration while providing 39 percent greater pure EV range. The second-generation Volt improves on the pioneering work of the original, adding additional electric-only range, improved fuel economy of 106 mpg-e and 42 mpg, and a chassis that is lighter than the original. That is enough gasoline to fill more than 87 competition-size swimming pools. Based on an average new car fuel economy of 25.3 miles per gallon, Volt drivers have saved nearly 58 million gallons of fuel. Since sales of the Chevrolet Volt began, owners have driven almost 1.5 billion miles in EV mode of a total 2.5 billion cumulative miles. How much of an impact do 100,000 Volts out on the road make? As it turns out, quite a bit. “Not only is the Volt a class-creator, it serves as the foundation of a Chevrolet electric family that will soon add the first long-range, affordable EV available to customers across the U.S., the Chevrolet Bolt EV.” “The Chevrolet Volt delivers not just a fun driving experience behind the wheel, but has become the first vehicle with plug-in electrification technology to truly become mainstream,” said Steve Majoros, director of marketing, Chevrolet Cars and Crossovers. DETROIT – Chevrolet is announcing the sale of 100,000 Volts, giving those owners a no-compromise electric driving experience with a plug-in vehicle offering an EPA-estimated 53 miles of electric vehicle range and a total range of 420 miles between gasoline fill-ups or full recharges*.

Quickly switch to holding down Forward+Play/Pause until iPod enters diskmode In the Toonzai version, the part where Frieza explodes Krillin is cut out, most likely due to censorship.The former was done for Nicktoons and Toonzai to keep the TV-Y7-FV rating. In the Nicktoons and Toonzai broadcasts of the episode, Goku calls Frieza a "ruthless, heartless monster" after the latter murdered Krillin, whereas in the uncut English dub (found only on the DVD and Blu-ray home video releases), he calls him a "ruthless, heartless bastard".The entire series averaged a 9.4% rating share. This was the highest rated episode of Dragon Ball Kai, pulling in a rating share of 12.3%.With his power greatly enhanced, Goku orders Gohan to take the injured Piccolo back to his spaceship, find Bulma and get off of Namek as soon as possible. Horrified and enraged by Frieza callously murdering his best friend, Goku undergoes a strange transformation that causes his eyes to turn green and his hair to turn gold and stand up on end. Frieza then sets his eyes on Krillin and, upon sarcastically asking if he's afraid of heights, proceeds to lift him up into the air and making his body explode from the inside out, killing him instantly. Frieza fires a Death Beam straight at Goku, but Piccolo pushes him out of the way and is gravely wounded as a result.

On Windows 10 or Windows 11, Trim has surfaced in the Tools menu in Drive properties in a feature called Optimize. Trim has been available since Windows 7 but back then was pretty much invisible to the end user. A Trim command is initialized to allow the operating system to inform an SSD about which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped out for writing the data. On Windows 10 or Windows 11, optimization can be initiated. This process is different from the traditional defragmentation procedure and is safe for SSDs. In SSDs, the Storage Optimizer is responsible for carrying out disk optimization and disk cleanup during idle time on a periodical basis. Microsoft has introduced the Defragment and Optimize Tool on Windows 8, which also includes the Storage Optimizer. However on Windows 8, a general optimization is carried out by the Defragment and Optimize Tool to handle various kinds of hard drives, including SSDs. On Windows 7, Disk Optimization(Defragmenting the SSD drive) might not make a big difference as compared to other disk types. Disk Optimization defragments SSD drive on Windows The percentages are probably even higher in China and other leading Asian economies, where project-based work has long been an important source of growth.Īnd we’re only just getting started. Precise data is hard to come by for other countries, but similar percentages are likely to apply in most other Western economies. In Germany, for example, projects have been rising steadily as a percentage of GDP since at least 2009, and in 2019 they accounted for as much as 41% of the total. Meanwhile, projects (which involve the changing of organizations) are increasingly driving both short-term performance and long-term value creation-through more-frequent organizational transformations, faster development of new products, quicker adoption of new technologies, and so on. But for most of the current century, productivity growth in Western economies has been almost flat, despite the explosion of the internet, shorter product life cycles, and exponential advances in AI and robotics. That shift has been a long time coming.ĭuring the 20th century, operations (which involve the running of organizations) created tremendous value, and they did so through advances in efficiency and productivity. Quietly but powerfully, projects have displaced operations as the economic engine of our times. They need to adopt a project-driven organizational structure, ensure that executives have the capabilities to sponsor projects, and train managers in modern project management. The Way ForwardĬompanies need to reinvent their approach to project management. As a result, only 35% of the projects undertaken worldwide are successful-which means we’re wasting an extravagant amount of time, money, and opportunity. The Problemĭespite this shift, many leaders still undervalue projects and project management. By 2027, some 88 million people around the world are likely to be working in project management, and the value of project-oriented economic activity will have reached $20 trillion. Projects have displaced operations as the economic engine of our times. |
