That means base vehicles see a 40-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that feeds a single electric motor that sends 147 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. Motivating the Leaf is the same powertrain as current models. Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Wants 35 EVs by 2030 The Leaf also sees minor enhancements in the interior, with a new Nissan badge on the steering wheel and a new start-up animation in the instrument panel. According to Nissan, the second-generation Leaf’s styling enhancements help it better cheat the wind. The improved Leaf gets a new front fascia, a new spoiler, and some other minor styling changes, and they are much more than cosmetic. Though, Nissan’s Leaf is still chugging along and sees some styling updates for 2023. Of course, the market has changed significantly over the last decade and Nissan’s Leaf isn’t the only option for battery-electric fans. Nissan launched its Leaf all the way back in 2010 as a 2011 model and helped bring modern electric vehicles into the mainstream, racking up more than 550,000 global sales. The Nissan Leaf might not have the longest range, quickest 0-60 time, or most opulent interior, but it’s not supposed to be any of that. ![]() The 2023 Nissan Leaf will be priced similarly to current models.Nissan says these styling enhancements work to better the Leaf’s aerodynamic efficiency.The 2023 Nissan Leaf gets exterior styling updates that extend to the front fascia, rear under diffuser and rear spoiler. ![]()

![]() ![]() Oh, I liberated about 15 towns yesterday afternoon by the radical process of blowing everything up, and stealing all their supplies. What else have I done of late? There was that time I drove a car off a cliff, free-fell then parachuted, grappled my way onto a boat, threw the driver into the sea, and then rammed the boat into building. And the voice acting is so atrocious (and occasionally downright offensive) that it becomes laughable. There’s then lots of story wormed in to attempt to dignify this, but it’s completely superfluous. But it’s primarily about blowing stuff up. ![]() There’s the odd escort mission, perhaps you’ll have to get a car to a destination. You’re just there to cause trouble, make a mess, and it’s rarely more sophisticated than that. You, Rico, are trying to find out of a colleague has gone rogue, then to attempt to overthrow a fascist dictator, and to do so your task is to cause as much Chaos as possible. Just Cause 2 gives you conversation topics. Then I stole a passenger plane from an airport and flew it into the ground,” I replied. “I found a hot-air balloon in the mountains, landed it on top of a skyscraper where there was a helicopter, which I used to pull over a statue. “How was your day?” someone asked me on Sunday evening. ![]() But can it live up to that hype?

How to convert PDF files to TIFF for free? This also makes editing and marking up a PDF easier, as most people are familiar with raster-based image editors (Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, etc.) but might not be comfortable with vector-based editors (Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.). This allows you to go in and alter each individual pixel if needed, whereas that would not have been possible with a vector PDF. ![]() In other words, your PDF pages become pixel grids, just like images. This doesn’t mean PDFs can’t be rasterized, but they usually aren’t.īy converting a vector PDF to a TIFF, you rasterize the document. ![]() Instead, PDFs are usually vectors, which means they use lines and curves (and lots of math) to create an image. Essentially, this means the document itself is not made up of a grid of pixels. Occasionally, TIFFs can also include other types of files, including documents. TIFFs are perfect for designers, graphic artists, and photographers as they allow these professionals to share multiple high-quality images in one file. A Tag Image File Format (TIFF) file usually contains one or more uncompressed image files. TIFFs or TIFs, on the other hand, are less common. This allows them to look the same on any system, even if they were made on an Android phone and then opened on a MacBook. Unlike DOC files, which rely on installed fonts and operating software-specific features, PDFs are like snapshots of a document. PDFs are documents that are perfect for sharing on the internet.

While some saw Delta’s husband as an enabler of this distraction, the weight gain wasn’t met with an ill response within the show, and thus was not the true reason for the mistrust surrounding McRaney. Around this time, Delta’s weight began to increase, in a way that was noticeable to everyone: the public, the network, the producers, the show’s costars, Delta, and Gerald.Īccording to People, “ her husband stocked a room at home with pounds of chocolate, as a dramatic way of saying he loved her for herself, not for the way she looked.” Unfortunately for Delta, and the show, this weight gain unfairly became the focus for the public, creating a tabloid whirlwind surrounding this idea of Burke “letting herself go.” According to Burke - speaking to Barbara Walters in 1991 - her husband was the first man who let her, a former Miss Florida beauty queen, feel comfortable in her own skin, the first man who saw beyond her beauty. The 1991 People cover story on Delta and Designing Women was, in some ways, the final real-time chapter of the book, emerging the same week that the show began taping its sixth season, its first without Burke.īut the early stages of the drama stem from one of the happiest days of Delta’s life, her 1989 marriage to actor Gerald McRaney. ![]() “Along with her talent, Delta, 34, carries into life a reputation for fiery southern passion that is as tangible as bayou moss.” - People, 1991 ![]() Not that it would, but simply that it could. ![]() But it’s also easy to see, with these types of strong personalities occupying one space (especially Dixie and Delta), how it could be an easy breeding ground for drama. When all cylinders were clicking, as they were in this appearance (and typically on the show, through their characters), it’s hard to top. Each woman is independently funny as a group, the one-upsmanship that we see in the show carried into their real lives. Joan: At this point … so far … well, you know it’s going to start.Ī few things are clear after watching the cast as a real-life unit. Joan: Now, you’re all still very good friends. But could it last? That was expertly instigated, as the foursome were guests on The Joan Rivers Show. And the hunch was right, because they were. The infectious onscreen chemistry between the costars suggested that they were friends offscreen. Joining the two at their Atlanta interior design firm were Mary Jo Shively (Annie Potts), Charlene Frazier (Jean Smart), and Anthony Bouvier (Meshach Taylor). The show, as you may remember, revolved around two sisters - Julia and Suzanne Sugarbaker - played by Dixie Carter and Delta Burke. And by 1989, coupled back-to-back with Murphy Brown on Monday nights, it became a hit. It bounced around from time slot to time slot, and CBS even threatened to cancel it, but a viewer campaign proved too strong, convincing CBS that the show did have a true audience. Considered by some as little more than a Golden Girls knockoff - that show debuted a year earlier, in 1985, to rave reviews, because it’s the most zinger-filled show we’ve ever had - the show struggled at first to find its footing. But what was set in stone - following this re-declaration of love in the summer of 1991 - was that the upcoming sixth season of Designing Women would go forward without Delta Burke.įor five strong years, 1986 to 1991, Designing Women was the most important show in America starring four women who didn’t live in Miami. So what in Sugarbaker Design’s name did Delta do? But when it was time for Delta to renew her vows two years later, there was no Dixie. So present, in fact, she was Delta’s matron of honor. You see, on the first go-around in 1989, Dixie was very much present. But where was it? And who was involved? And how did people find out? Rembert Browne investigates. Before TMZ, and even before the Internet, there was celebrity drama. ![]() ![]() ![]() Module visualizer: "Phase Sync" oscilloscope option has been added activate it to see a single waveform cycle Module properties: X and Y fields - exact coordinates of the module Pattern properties: X and Y fields - exact coordinates of the pattern on the timeline Now it is possible to delete modules, but keep the links Module editor menu: new function "Make MetaModule" for packing the selected modules into a single MetaModule +shortcut Module editor menu: new function "Detach" to detach the selected modules from the rest +shortcut Timeline menu: new function "Detach" to convert the clones to the normal patterns +shortcut Timeline menu: new functions "Load" and "Save" to load/save selected patterns from/to a sunvox file Timeline menu: new option "Vertical mode" +shortcut Module and timeline editor: "Select All" has been changed to "Select/Unselect All" The name of the current file is now visible in the title bar of the app window New module - FFT frequency transformator New module - FMX: 5-operator Frequency Modulation synth Improved import of old tracker formats (XM and MOD) Timeline: supertracks (see changelog_details.txt and simple_examples/supertracks.sunvox) Multiple module selection (see changelog_details.txt) + ability to save several selected modules to a sunvox file IOS 13.4+: full USB/Bluetooth keyboard support (like on desktops) IOS 11+: SunVox Audio Unit (AUv3) can now send MIDI notes and MIDI CC to other AU modules SunVox 2.0 is out!

The DVD Journal | The DVD "Missing in Action" List ![]() ![]() ![]() Q: How do you manage to be in the band and continue to produce other artists? A: I do it in between Seagulls shows, which is when I also give private lessons in guitar and music production. The pre-show air crackles with the energy of an impending riot.in a GOOD way, that is! Also, the audiences in South America are some of the most passionate and whenever we're there it's like Beatlemania. What is the most interesting experience you've had on the road? A: Being able to play the Araneta Coliseum in Metro Manila in the Philippines and have a bunch of relatives there from my mother's side of the family was great. ![]() Every once in a while, a very small vocal minority of Internet haters romance about the original members and the 80's heyday, but I don't really have time for closed-minded nostalgia. Q: How did the fans react then and what did you do to win them over? A: Fans are obviously there to enjoy the songs and see Mike, so things have always been good and at shows it's been just about all positive response to what I've brought to the band. I was well aware of the band, but more so an oblique fan via listening to Duran Duran, Gary Numan, etc. ![]() I spoke to Mike Score, set up an audition, learned all the songs and he asked me to join. Q: How did you join A Flock of Seagulls? Were you a fan of the band going in? A: Fellow music teacher/drummer friend of mine did a stint with them on a few tours and told me the guitar slot had just come open. Eventually, I got tired of annoying recording and mixing engineers with my nit-picky, perfectionist demands and learned to do it all myself. When things got serious, I took it all into a real studio and released my CD "Antares: The GranDesign". So, I got a drum machine, sampling keyboard and 4-track recorder and started doing my own demos which introduced me to MIDI sequencing/programming, sampling and sound design. Q: How did you get into the producing side of the music business? A: I'd been teaching guitar for a few years and had a lot of students asking me what kind of music I listened to and wrote and at the time it was instrumental guitar stuff like Joe Satriani and Tony MacAlpine. A Flock of Seagulls has been my only high profile band, so far. My first "pro" band was the usual cover bar band and then I got into a 60's-80's variety band. The parking lot would always pack out with local fans, so we started selling tickets to our own shows at local community centers and festivals. Q: What was your first experience in a band like? A: Banging out all that classic hard rock and metal with my friends in a sweaty (or freezing) storage space. I also play plenty of bass and pick up the ukulele, various percussion or whatever else my latest production may need. Q: What kind of training did you receive and did you also pick up other instruments? A: Two years of piano between the ages of 12-14, then when I got an electric guitar at 16, it was all over, although some solid keyboard skills would probably be more useful to me these days. I still enjoy and draw heavily from music I loved in the past, but my tastes are always evolving. I'm starting to dip into prog-metal bands now, specifically Monuments and Tesseract at the moment. Later on I got into Suzanne Vega, Sarah McLachlan and other Lilith Fair-era singer / songwriters, then indie pop & folk like Ingrid Michaelson and Eisley. ![]() But, I was also intrigued by the synth and orchestral sounds of bands like Styx and ELO. Q: What bands or musicians were your early influences? A: Like every teen with a guitar at the time, early influences included classic rock and metal like KISS, AC/DC, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Being an outcast and getting bullied at school left me with plenty of time to move the needle on all my hard rock albums to figure out songs by ear. When I was 13 years old, we relocated to central Florida to get away from the cold and it was quite the culture shock going from skateboarding around Radio City and 42nd Street to a small southern town where I couldn't find a paved sidewalk that wasn't covered with gravel. I discovered that if I dropped the mic from my our old home stereo inside it and cranked up the volume, it would distort, feedback and make crunchy rock guitar sounds. Question: Where are you from originally and what led you to pick up the guitar? Answer: I was born and raised in the Hell's Kitchen area of NYC and my dad had an old classical guitar lying around that I used to mess with. ![]() ![]() ![]() Open the locker, grab the detergent and bolt cutters, then head down to the lower part of this area.
