![]() Central Rail Trail near Hammond Street in Waltham. Newly-planted trees and shrubs line the new segment of the Mass. ![]() ![]() This roughly 2.5-mile segment sports some fresh asphalt and hundreds of newly-planted trees and shrubs. Central Rail Trail is nearing completion in Waltham (this trail segment is annotated with a 1 in the map at the top of this article). Central in WalthamĨ miles to the east, another major segment of the Mass. Recommended Travel Guide: Wayland’s Aqueducts and the New Cochituate Rail Trail The Mass. To get from here to Waltham, I relied on advice from Streetsblog contributor Juliana Cherston's 2021 travel guide to this area: In the meantime, there are still some nice back roads that provide decent alternative routes. When that's done, the Department of Conservation and Recreation will pave a new trail on top of the freshly-cleared railbed. Crews are currently installing a new underground power line on either side of this junction with the Bruce Freeman Trail. Central Rail Trail corridor between Sudbury and Hudson is a much more active construction site. Central Rail Trail, which will continue west from this point to Hudson on the right is the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, which is being extended from its current southern terminus in Concord.

Most of the rail corridor is walkable, but still has railroad ties that make it too rough for bicycle riding.įurther south, though, near the Boston Post Road and the intersection with the Mass. The Bruce Freeman project has only been underway for a few months, so most of the corridor through Sudbury still looks like this: The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail corridor near its crossing of Pantry Road in Sudbury in June 2023.

However, construction is now underway to extend the Bruce Freeman 5 miles further south through the town of Sudbury (marked with a 3 in the map below), where it will intersect with a new segment of the Mass. Construction workers are currently clearing the way for a 3.5-mile extension of the trail beyond this underpass into Sudbury. The Bruce Freeman Trail currently runs from Lowell to Powder Mill Road in Concord, about half a mile from the Concord-Sudbury town line: The current southern terminus of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, at Powder Mill Road in Concord. On Wednesday, your StreetsblogMASS editor took the long way home from the MassTrails grant announcements in Billerica to check out the progress on the extension of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail from Concord into Sudbury, and, a few miles to the east, on the Waltham section of the Mass.

![]() Is only searching for a single frequency rather than showing the It is often used in DTMF tone detection as an alternative to the Fastįourier Transform because it is quick with low overheard because it The Goertzel algorithm is long standing so see The tuning fork pitch and something easily generated by the Tone library I figured that would be more appropriate because you need the library to test the code anyway.īlinks a light on a 16mhz Arduino when it detects an A4 (440 hz), tone The code and the library were posted in the first post via a link. Īs stated in my last post I already fixed the audio connection to follow this suggested schematic You'd be hard pressed to damage an analog input with audio out.Įven with the volume at max an iphone/ipod wont put out more than ~3volts which would max out the reading somewhere around 613.8. On a Duemilanove or UNO pin 13 has a resistor and led on the board, but I added a brighter LED because the one on the board is rather dim and hard to see. There's no way to know what's wrong without seeing it - all of it. Įither the LED never triggered or it would trigger in +/-200 range of the target frequency. You might have been overloading the input and all it was seeing was 1023, 1023, 1023. The headphone output should also have a resistor to ground. Then the analog input pin is also connected to the centre of the divider. You should connect the headphone output through a capactor (about 0.1uF) to the centre of a 1:1 voltage divider. Then I plugged the headphone out from my iphone into A0 and ground.Īs has been pointed out, this is also not a good idea. You must have a resistor (220 ohms or higher) in series with the LED otherwise you'll probably damage pin 13 and even the whole Arduino.īut which Arduino are you using? Arduino boards have an LED on Pin 13 anyway. I put an LED between digital 13 and the ground right above it. I'm confused on how to use the FFT Library you linked me to.įor single tone detection stick with Goertzel's algorithm. ![]() How would I go about getting a frequency as a number or getting it to recognize certain frequencies? The other one only outputs data in binary form. It only provides 2 examples and one requires a codec shield. Nothing happens unless you lower the magnitude and then the LED fires in +/-100hz ranges that are no where near the target range.Īlso, I'm confused on how to use the FFT Library you linked me to. So, unless I'm missing something (which is totally possible), no damage should occur.Īlso after wiring it up correctly, with a different arduino(in case I damaged it :P), the results were exactly the same. So, its not going to short out with ground and a headphone jack is only going to put out a maximum ~3volts and a couple milliamps. In a rather oversimplified way, if it accepts a +5v input then connecting it to a ground or audio out shouldn't harm it. I did, indeed, forget that you cannot simply wire up ground to analog an expect results, but I fail to see how I may have cause damage. I already have a perfectly working hardware solution and I am now looking to eliminate it all together. Otherwise i would've just taken apart the algorithm myself and made an Arduino library.Īnyway, if anyone has any good Arduino software solutions for decoding DTMF or any suggestions on how to make this or another library work, it would be greatly appreciated. Either the LED never triggered or it would trigger in +/-200 range of the target frequency.Īs a side note, I am not very mathematically inclined. I spent some time changing the magnitude and target frequencies with no avail. I changed the "magnitude" to 500 and the led triggered from around 350 to 670 which is hugely unacceptable No matter the tone or shape generated the LED did not light. Then I plugged the headphone out from my iphone into A0 and ground. I attempted to use the library example, but the results were less than perfect. ![]() The closest thing I could find was this GitHub - jacobrosenthal/Goertzel: Arduino Library implementation of the Goertzel algorithm. My goal is to use something like this to decode DTMF tones reliably. ![]() I've been looking all over the web for a simple Arduino library for the implementation of either Goertzel or FFT. ![]() Both events were also a certain momentum for those active in independent initiatives in Bohemia. The author elaborates on the political development in Slovakia at the end of the 1980s, namely in 1989, which was crucially influenced by a document entitled Bratislava nahlas (Bratislava/Aloud) published by a group of Bratislava‑based environmentalists in 1987, and the so‑called Candlelight Demonstration, which demanded that freedom of religion be respected, organised by the so‑called Christian dissent activists in Bratislava on 25 March 1988. ![]() Along these cleav-ages five or six main, geographically identified, seemingly solid political blocks can be defined. The party preferences indicate that the division and stratifica-tion of the Slovak society are still determined by the classic cultural (ethnic and religious) and centre-periphery (urban-rural and West-East) cleavages. The classic cleavages have proved to be durable in this period. It still does not fit the Western European patterns. A significant change of the party structure of Slovakia has undergone since 1992. Due to the characteristics of the electoral system the election results clearly reflect the spatial embeddedness of the parties. ![]() Post-socialist Slovakia's elections show that some of the regional and social cleavages (re)emerged immediately after the change of regime and have remained stable in the last twenty years. It presents how enduring and strong are the traditional cleavages and those connected to the change of regime. The aim of this study is to identify the main cleavages in the Slovak society through the analysis of the spatially solid voter base of the parties.

We believe it’s sufficient to analyze the top diamond stocks as opposed to all diamond stocks. We made a selection of the top 8 diamond stocks. That’s why we focus on the top diamond stocks. 8 Top Diamond Stocks And Their Chart Setup for 2019, 2020 and beyond The following list of stocks spread across few countries would cast some light on the better futures of diamond miners. The reasons why we believe so are outlined in this article. We expect diamond stocks to outperform in the next 2 to 3 years. The bullish outlook is for the medium to long term. As explained in this article we see a potential of turnaround in the sector from bearish to bullish. InvestingHaven’s research team flashes an alert on the diamond mining sector. Note that the sector is not an easy read. Diamond stocks have many influences, first and foremost the demand combined with the price of the U.S. However, as shown in this article, diamond stocks look to be bottoming at current price levels.

Among these are cryptography, network authentication, support for extensions stored on non-volatile media, an integrated boot manager, and even a shell environment for running other EFI applications such as diagnostic utilities or flash updates. UEFI has room for more useful and usable features than could ever be crammed into the BIOS. UEFI enables better use of bigger hard drives.GPT disk provides greater reliability due to replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table.You can have upto 128 partitions (woot!) in GPT (as opposed ONLY 4 primary partitions in MBR/Hybrid MBR partition scheme).GPT can support more than 2TB space (MBR cannot).You may face all sorts of weird boot/BCD errors Depending on BIOS, sometimes Clover doesn’t play well in Non-UEFI.You can have multiple Recovery Partitions in GPT. ![]() Isn’t that amazing?

Despite a cultural appropriation scandal ahead of its launch, her shapewear line SKIMS has found a strong base of customers who put their trust in Kim and her hourglass shape to deliver a product that will support their own curves-or the curves that they get surgically to emulate her. From sporting Fulani braids, which have roots in West Africa, and attributing the style to Bo Derek, another white woman, to the multiple times she’s been called out for wearing Blackface by wearing skin-darkening makeup, Kim is no stranger to making deliberate beauty and style choices that rely on racial performance-then turning around and finding ways to capitalize on it. While the allure of the “exotic” white woman is as old as the longtime debates about Cleopatra’s racial background, Kim has pioneered the branding of it as an identity, leveraging it for the creation of a fashion and beauty empire, leaning into the allure of her fame and endless resources to form a brand. The ‘exotic’ white woman and cultural appropriation Even after Keeping Up with the Kardashians ends and the family moves on to their new deal to create content for Disney and Hulu, this legacy will remain. The Kardashian-Jenner look is ubiquitous: Heavily contoured makeup, dramatically curvy bodies and plumped lips have had cyclical moments of popularity, but they owe much of their mainstream favor in recent years to the wide influence of the sisters. And it’s in the Kardashian-Jenner sisters’ wholehearted embrace of this tension that their family has forever changed the ways society thinks about bodies and beauty, forging the standards that have defined the past decade.īetween their loyal viewership on television and massive social media presences (Kim was the most followed person on Instagram in 2015 and currently has the 6th biggest account with 227 million followers), the family blazed a trail for a new model of celebrity: the influencer. ![]() It’s a vicious culture that valorizes curves on wealthy, racially ambiguous white women, but stigmatizes these traits on Black women one that plays into a longtime fascination with the aesthetics of Blackness and an unwillingness to engage with the ugliness of anti-Black racism at the same time. ![]() Read More: Kim Kardashian’s Nude Photos and Saartjie’s Choice: History’s Problem with Fascinating Bodies By contrast, Kim has explicitly benefitted from her much-talked-about figure, tapping into an audience that sees her as no ordinary white woman, but instead as an exotic and interesting one. Baartman was paraded semi-nude, her posterior exhibited as a curio of sorts for European audiences that could, for a price, touch her body-a sobering symbol of the exploitation and degradation that Black women and their bodies have suffered for centuries. In this problematic comparison lie the troubling roots of the obsession with the Kardashian aesthetic. This outsize fascination was perhaps best embodied by her controversial 2014 Paper magazine cover, shot by Jean-Paul Goude, where her bare bottom is flanked by the line, “Break the Internet Kim Kardashian.” On social media and in numerous think pieces, the cover drew comparisons to Saartjie Baartman, the 19th-century South African woman known as the “Hottentot Venus.” That the opener of the watershed reality show-which ends June 10 after 20 seasons-centered on the family’s fixation on Kim’s rear foreshadowed the now-ubiquitous public obsession with her body, and particularly that specific feature of it. “I think she’s got a little junk in her trunk,” says Kris Jenner, the family’s matriarch and “momager.” She calls her daughter’s butt “jiggly,” as Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian chimes in from the kitchen table, “Kim’s always had an ass.” Kim Kardashian, the undisputed protagonist of the show, rummages through the fridge as she’s teased by her family for the size of her posterior. The inaugural episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which debuted on E! in 2007, begins with an irreverent domestic scene.

Wax profile wire and tube - wax in the form of wire or tube, can be bent and twisted, used for hinges etc just like metal wire Sheet wax - good for cutting, moulding and modelling but not as good for carving Maintains superior strength, toughness and extreme flexibility.
