The fuselage was computer generated from the ground up with the right angles for stealth. But it will have saw toothed coweling on the back with saw toothed engine tips. The back does not feature the same engine tip configuration as the F-22. So any scatter won't get out of the intake. But it does have offset intakes like the YF-23. It does not have the same S duct setup as the F-22. The intake does not show any more engine face than the YF-23 or X-32 design did. All of these so called flaws in the design exist in other US stealth designs. Most of what has been said about the lack of stealth is just nonsense.

I think we're seeing the beginning of the end for Russia as a designer and certainly exporter of cutting edge combat aircraft. What I got from this press release is that they're not even going to attempt to field a 5th gen, instead trying to field a 6th gen (good luck with that). A production run of 12 birds is going to be insanely expensive, and probably buy them only marginal capability vs. The F-35 and probably FC-31 are going to flood the export market, limiting the SU-57's international appeal. They've sunk a lot of $ into it, and it's apparently never going to be mass produced. This was their first (and probably only) stab at a "stealth" aircraft, and it failed.

Provide consistent water at least weekly, or more as needed during warm spells. Watering:Īgeratums have shallow roots, so they can quickly dry out and wilt. Keep mulch several inches away from the base of the plant to avoid crown or stem rot. Mulch with organic material such as shredded leaves or compost to suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Yellow leaves may be a sign that plants aren’t receiving enough fertilizer. Mix a granular slow-release fertilizer into the soil at the time of planting and reapply mid-season, or use a water-soluble fertilizer twice monthly according to package instructions. Amendments & fertilizer:Īgeratums are heavy feeders and benefit from regular fertilizing. Plant in well-amended soil that drains well. Cut back if plants start looking tired or are outgrowing the space they should rebloom within a week or two. While most will require deadheading to encourage new flowers, others like the Artist® series will grow up over the spent blooms, covering them up, and may not need deadheading to look good. Space taller varieties 12 inches apart, and shorter varieties 6 inches apart. Gently tamp down soil around the base and water well. Dig a hole and place so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. For nursery starts, remove plant from the container and gently tease out the roots if potbound. Keep moist until leaves emerge (5 to 14 days), and transplant outdoors after all danger of frost is past. Press seeds gently into the soil mix and don’t cover, as seeds need light to germinate. In a bed or container with rich, well-draining soil that will stay evenly moist. Ageratums are heat lovers and will fail to thrive if it’s too cold. Seeds can be sown directly outdoors after your average last frost date however, plants will not bloom until late summer or fall. Sow seed indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last average frost date. Plant nursery starts outdoors from late spring to early summer after all danger of frost is past. Try a sun-loving combo like this ‘Across the Universe’ container recipe that includes: Angelface® Perfectly Pink angelonia, Artist® Blue ageratum, and Diamond Delight® euphorbia. On this page: The Basics | Planting | Care | Choosing the Right Ageratum | Pictures | Landscaping Tips The ornamental varieties available to home gardeners are grown as annuals, and are attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and insect pollinators. Billygoat weed ( Ageratum conyzoides), which has herbal and medicinal qualities, is highly invasive, primarily in Africa, but can also be found growing wild in parts of the Southern US. With sizes ranging from a few inches high to three feet tall, ageratum can be grown in containers, used as edging along pathways or borders, or massed in displays.Ĭommonly known as floss flower, this member of the Aster family includes 40 species of annuals, perennials, and shrubs native to tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America. These popular bedding plants are most often purchased as nursery starts in tray packs or flats, but can also be grown from seed. Ageratum is grown for its whimsical pompom-shaped flowers that occur mostly in shades of blue, though colors also include white, pink, lavender, and red. The color blue, a rarity in the gardening world, is highly coveted by avid gardeners. ‘Blue Mink’ ( Ageratum houstonianum) Photo by: Tiiien / Shutterstock It has been reported that typically 25 to 60 percent of the seeds germinate. The easiest way to grow Acer rubrum (Red Maple) bonsai tree is from seeds. As a low-maintenance and durable bonsai tree, Acer rubrum (Red Maple) is a wonderful choice for a bonsai beginner. It has been said that Acer rubrum (Red Maple) is a strong and forgiving tree, which cannot tolerate only one mistake - underwatering. How to Plant and Grow Acer rubrum (Red Maple) Bonsai? With skilled pruning, wiring and repotting, the growth of the Acer rubrum (Red Maple) bonsai tree can be controlled and redirected towards thickening of the twigs and foliage. The tree that may live from 100 to 150 years. Grown outdoors, the tree can fully develop within 25 years. In a natural habitat, the tree typically grows at a rate of 30 and 45 cm per year. How Long Does It Take To Grow Acer rubrum (Red Maple) Bonsai?Īcer rubrum (Red Maple) is considered a medium-speed grower. This guide provides the foundations of Acer rubrum (Red Maple) bonsai tree care guide. The work on the sapling should begin once it is two years old, or at least 20 cm tall. For best results, it is recommended to start growing a Red Maple bonsai tree from a seed. In spite of its rapid growth and potential to grow tall, Acer rubrum makes an excellent bonsai tree. Its oval or round crown can be 9 to 15 meters wide. In its natural habitat, the Acer rubrum tree typically grows 12 to 21 meters tall. Interestingly, the largest Red Maple tree in Rhode Island is approximately 43 meters tall, and grows in Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Since 1964, the Red Maple has been a state tree of Rhode Island. The epithet rubrum means red, and comes from the red leaves, stem, twigs and fruit of the tree. While its direct root is uncertain, it is likely related to the Greek word ‘ akastos’, meaning ‘maple’. The dry leaves, however, are toxic to horses.Įtymologically, the genus name Acer is of Latin origin. Its fruits are eaten by rodents, while the shoots and leaves are consumed by rabbits and deer. The Acer rubrum (Red Maple) tree also provides wildlife value. This attractive ornamental tree is prized for its attractive brightly-colored foliage, which in autumn turns to pink-red, orange and yellow hues. The tree is also known under several common names, including soft maple, water maple, scarlet maple and swamp. It is native to the eastern and central parts of North America. Most references describe red maple as wind pollinated, but insect pollination may be important, as many insects, especially bees, visit the flowers.Acer rubrum (Red Maple) is a tree in the genus Acer, belonging to the family Aceraceae. According to the USDA's Plant Guide, red maple's early-produced pollen may be important to the biology of bees and other pollen-dependent insects. Compared to sugar and black maple, red maple is a relatively short-lived tree, rarely living longer than 150 years. Tea brewed from the inner bark has been used for treating coughs and diarrhea. Native Americans used red maple bark as an analgesic, a wash for swollen eyes and cataracts, and as a remedy for hives and muscular aches. This tree has long been valued as an ornamental tree because of its ease of establishment, rapid growth, brightly coloured flowers and fruit, and fall leaf colours. Red maple is also known as scarlet maple, swamp maple, soft maple, Carolina red maple, Drummond red maple, water maple as well as some other names.

Unfortunately, in this instance, an Operating System that isn’t widely used in enterprise environments (compared to something like Windows) is being used on the Client side, therefore feature development and configuration support will be lacking by comparison. Windows being the most popular Operating System globally moves it to the top of Citrix’s priority queue for feature development and support. It isn’t because of NVIDIA that it works with Windows as the GPU is located in the datacenter so has zero visibility of the Client or its Operating System being used, it’s because of Citrix and Microsoft. You can see this because as you’ve mentioned above, the solution works with a Windows Operating System on a Client instead of Chrome. You could use AMD GPUs and it still wouldn’t work, as it isn’t an AMD limitation either. The issue is with the combination of Citrix WorkspaceApp and Chrome, and that’s nothing to do with NVIDIA. They have the functionality and performance to encode multiple monitors (way more than two) per session or Client. The GPUs and vGPU software are doing what they’re sposed to. It may or may not be applicable in your case, but worth having a look just in case. Unrelated, but whenever I’m working with customers and they’re using vGPU / GPU technologies, I always recommend running CR, not LTSR. Lastly, I haven’t used XenDesktop 7.15 for a long time, I always run the CR to take advantage of the latest settings, but it may be worth checking which Citrix Policies are available in the LTSR vs CR in case there’s something in there that helps. Have you posted on the Citrix Forums? If no, you should be posting under these categories: There is nothing on the NVIDIA side that can be done here. The GPU is more than capable of encoding multiple monitors (or a single 4K monitor -) ). This is 100% a Citrix limitation or Citrix / Chrome configuration issue. You’ve already mentioned that other non-Chrome devices work, are you locked in to using Chrome as an OS? And as you’ve already confirmed, your POC works with a single monitor … It will also give you some future proofing, which 1080P doesn’t. If hardware encoding is critical, is having multiple monitors? How about removing a pair of low resolution 1080P monitors and replacing them with a single 4K monitor? This will free up desk space, remove cables and free up power sockets as well as giving your users much more screen estate to work with. Is using the GPU for encoding the protocol critical to the success of the POC at this time? If no, try using the CPU (server side) by changing the Citrix Policies appropriately and see if that works for your users. You can then either accept those limitations and carry on, or decide if you go down another route substituting different technologies until you get the functionality that you need. This is where you find the various limitations of each technology or combination of technologies and it’s all part of the process. Trying different configurations of hardware, software etc until you find what works and what’s acceptable for your support teams and more importantly end users. In addition to Simons answer (which is correct), the issues you’re experiencing are why it’s so important to run POCs before rolling out a new environment or set of technologies. We have played with google policy and used the chrome configuration utility from citrix: Citrix Workspace app (earlier known as Citrix Receiver) for Chrome and HTML5.Ĭitrix Workspace app (earlier known as Citrix Receiver) for Chrome and HTML5 Configuration Utility GPU: Tesla T4 Turing 16gb GPU, 2 in each host.

I am using the platform layer for nvidia drivers, then installing the vda afterwards. Imaging: Image created through app layering, and published with MCS (static persistent desktops). Nvidia driver version: 9.1 on both host and guest They are simple 1080p monitors and this issue happens across multiple chrome devices including i5 cpu chromebooks, chromeboxes, etc. This works fine when launching a single monitor Citrix session, however if we full screen it across 2 or more monitors it does not work. We are hoping to utilize hardware encoding for the entire screen, rather than selective h.264. We’re trying to get dual monitors working for chromebooks, with hardware encoding enabled for our GPU setup. I come here because Citrix and NVidia have both been struggling to provide me with any concrete information. “When people gave me a lined paper, I wrote the other way. “I want to be remembered as a person who early on in his life took control of his life and set goals,” he said in the TV Archive interview. Johnson received his first onscreen credit for a story that became a 1959 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and he went on to write episodes of Route 66, Honey West and Kung Fu. It morphed into the 1976 film that starred Michael York and a short-lived 1977-78 CBS series toplined by Gregory Harrison. Nolan co-authored the 1967 novel Logan’s Run, about how all people in the year 2116 are sentenced to death when they reach age 21. But “Rock-a-Bye Baby or Die” never was made. Roddenberry commissioned him to write another episode, and he turned in a script that had the Enterprise being threatened from within by a child-like force. Before it debuted, the Gene Roddenberry series had about a half-dozen episodes in the can, and Johnson’s was picked by NBC executives to air first. 8, 1966, the crew of the Enterprise visit a planet and begin dying from a sudden lack of salt in their bodies. In the first installment of Star Trek, “The Man Trap,” which aired Sept. “It helped to jack people up to a higher level.” “ The Twilight Zone played just as much a part in the renaissance transformation of the ‘ 60s as bright-colored clothing, rock music and marijuana did,” he said in an enlightening and entertaining 2003 interview with the Archive of American Television. Johnson later wrote the Twilight Zone scripts for “A Penny for Your Thoughts,” revolving around a bank clerk (Dick York) who discovers he has telepathic powers “A Game of Pool,” with Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters meeting in a high-stakes contest “Nothing in the Dark,” starring Robert Redford as Death “Kick the Can,” about elderly folks who get to become kids again and “Ninety Years Without Slumbering,” with Ed Wynn as a man who feels his fate is linked to a grandfather clock. In “The Four of Us Are Dying,” which aired on the first night of the 1960s, Harry Townes portrays a con man who can change his face to appear as anyone he chooses.Īnother of the writer’s stories led to another first-season episode, “Execution,” about a scientist (Russell Johnson) who uses a time machine to pluck a man about to be hanged in 1880 into the present day. Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling paid him $500 for his unpublished short story that Serling adapted for the 13th episode of the CBS series. A native of Cheyenne, Wyo., with a distinctive straggly white beard and long hair, Johnson was a beloved, colorful and mystical figure in the world of sci-fi. With the usual disclaimers, thank you ez electric power steering. The 49 horsepower roadster was introduced along with its Coupe sibling at the 1965 Geneva auto show. Although, it wasn’t as sporty as you might think it is. Well, this is the solution and I heartily recommend it anyone who, like myself wishes to enjoy driving an older vehicle without the physical strain usually involved. The Fiat 850 Spider was a small rear-engined rear-wheel-drive two-seater sports car. I have spoken to a number of other classic car owners and they nearly all admit that the heavy steering is the one great drawback to owning older cars and most of their wives would not dream of driving themselves. The steering unit itself is tucked away under the instrument panel so that the original appearance of the vehicle is not altered. Wondering how the car would behave on the open road, I went out for a drive around the local lanes and after correcting the too hard tyre pressures, I was delighted to find that the steering was progressive and not over-light as I had at first suspected. Starting at just 26,885, Kelley Blue Book has rated the 2020 Spider as the best sports car in their annual 5-Year Cost to. A two-door convertible with two seats, Fiat’s possibly most exciting model is also its most reliable. Most common problem: Separated driveshaft. With some trepidation, I got into the car and did a few three-point turns in the driveway and was most impressed with lightness of the steering. The most reliable Fiat model: 2020 Fiat 124 Spider. The German agent rang me later to say that the car had arrived safely and that they were delighted with the very heavy steering! After about fourteen days, the car was returned. I telephoned the German agent and it was quickly arranged for my Spider to be collected from Hamburg and taken down to Holland. However, not to be defeated so easily, I made another search in Internet and, low and behold, there was an advertisement for an electric steering system by a firm in Holland. This car is a pleasure to look at and fun to. Fiat 124 Spider Europa: a sports car with an iconic design Fiat 124 Spider Europa In 1981, the American version was followed by the European one.

He then went on to star in the crime thriller The Midnight Man (2016), the drama We've Forgotten More Than We Ever Knew (2016), and the horror flicks Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016), Gehenna: Where Death Lives (2016), and The Bye Bye Man (2017). For instance, he starred in the comedy film The Watch (2012) alongside Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, and also enjoyed a recurring role on the series Research. The scariest demon of them all, though, is the demonic nun named Valak. The movie is filled with demons and the people possessed by them. The roles have since continued to pour in for this actor, both in film and on television. 13 Bonnie Aarons As Valak In 'The Conjuring 2' (2016) The Conjuring 2 is a horror movie about paranormal investigators who look into strange occurrences in North London, who also happen to be a married couple. Jones reprised his role of Abe Sapien in del Toro's superhero sequel, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (2008). The pair first teamed up for del Toro's first American film Mimic (1996) and have also worked together on Hellboy (2004) and the Oscar-winning Pan's Labyrinth (2006). The actor has a long history collaborating with Mexican director Guillermo del Toro. Jones has been seen in his natural state in Mystery Men (1999) and Adaptation (2002). and we really have no idea what form the made-for-TV movie is even going to take. Often appearing in elaborate costumes and playing mystical characters, Jones has been seen in Hocus Pocus (1993), Men in Black II (2002), Doom (2005), Lady in the Water (2006) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Despite pretty much every actor from Hocus Pocus. The majority of Jones' feature film work has been done under the mask of makeup and prosthetics. He has also been featured in nearly 100 commercials, as well music videos by Madonna, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Marilyn Manson. Jones has appeared in film and television in many different roles. Jones moved to Los Angeles in 1985 and has been entertaining audiences ever since. He combined his talent as a contortionist (he has double-jointed legs) with the ability to express emotions without speaking to become a versatile actor. While attending university, Jones joined a performing troupe and learned how to mime. He graduated from Bishop Chatard High School and then attended Ball State University, where he graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications and a minor in Theater. And his performance is both scary and brilliant AF.Performer Doug Jones is the youngest of four brothers born in Indianapolis, Indiana. He often plays characters that require him to use heavy makeup (some examples include the movies/shows, Hellboy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, etc). This year’s The Nun, a spinoff in the director’s popular Conjuring universe of horror films, was a massive hit, earning 350 million globally and cementing itself as the highest-grossing entry. Surprisingly, both Faun and Pale Man were played by the same actor - Doug Jones. Her second task is especially creepy as the girl has to retrieve a dagger from the layer of Pale Man - the monster who eats children. This Faun gives special tasks that Ofelia has to fulfill to attain immortality. Ofelia lives in this darkness and finds an escape in the creepy-but captivating-fantasy world inhabited by fairies, monsters, and a mysterious Faun. It tells the story about a young girl named Ofelia, the stepdaughter of a sadistic army officer. The movie is set in 1944, after the Spanish Civil War, a time that was dark as hell.
