![]() The problem is not really the earthquake. But here’s why I’m frustrated-even if we had told all of those people the day before, or the week before, and everyone got out safely, but all those buildings still collapsed, this would still be a humanitarian tragedy. The seismic hazard map for Turkey matches this earthquake perfectly. The East Anatolian Fault is moving and that’s going to produce a big earthquake every 100 or 200 years. The anger and the frustration comes from the fact that if you look at a seismic hazard map of Turkey-as seismologists, we have used earthquake recording, satellite modeling, and the geology to map where the faults are-we can tell what is moving. Q &A with Rachel Abercrombie The Brink: What was your reaction after this shocking news?Ībercrombie: I was trying to think, what am I feeling? Obviously, very sad. Why were the two earthquakes so catastrophic? To put their cascading devastation into context, The Brink spoke with Abercrombie about why the region is at high risk for earthquakes and what can be done to warn people about an impending shake before it’s too late. The president of the American Geophysical Union’s seismology division, she is also a coleader of a Southern California Earthquake Center research project which works to improve measurements of stress released by earthquakes. She has been studying earthquakes for over three decades, aiming to understand what makes some more severe than others, how they start, and what actually happens at the earthquake source. “Even if we had told all of those people the day before, or the week before, and everyone got out safely, but all those buildings still collapsed, this would still be a humanitarian tragedy,” says Rachel Abercrombie, a Boston University College of Arts & Sciences research professor of earth and environment. Courtesy of Mike Norton, Wikimedia Commons Two major faults, the North Anatolian Fault and the East Anatolian Fault, are gradually squeezing Turkey westward toward the Mediterranean Sea, putting the region at risk for earthquakes. Yet, many buildings in the region are not built to withstand large earthquakes, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), making the destruction worse. The two major fault lines surrounding it, the North Anatolian Fault and the East Anatolian Fault-which has a slip rate of between 6 and 10 millimeters per year-are gradually squeezing the country westward toward the Mediterranean Sea. ![]() Seismologists consider Turkey a tectonically active area, where three tectonic plates-the Anatolia, Arabia, and Africa plates-touch and interact with each other. Aleppo, a city in Syria that has been destroyed by civil war, also felt the brunt of the earthquakes. The epicenter of the quakes was near the city of Gaziantep, where there are currently hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees. The double whammy of intense shaking collapsed thousands of buildings and killed over 20,000 people, leaving behind a humanitarian crisis in an already vulnerable area. Then, just nine hours later, a second quake-registered at 7.5 magnitude-struck the same region. It was the largest earthquake to hit Turkey in over 80 years. Around 4 am local time on Monday, February 6, two tectonic plates slipped past each other just 12 miles below southern Turkey and northern Syria, causing a 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

Well, here I am addressing your concern what PMI considers for your professional experience. Many aspirants become confused for the eligibility if their designation is not Project Manager. It was not the first time when I came across concern of PMP® exam eligibility related to the designation. Actually, instead of designation, PMI considers your role in leading and directing the project. I clarified to Bob – YES! You can take the PMP® exam even if your title is not project manager. Actually his main concern was – Am I eligible for PMP® certification as my designation is not Project Manager? He is not involved in managing and developing resources. He told me that he handles technical end to end project management. Few days back I received a call from a PMP® aspirant, Bob who is having 4 years of experience as Technical Lead. Have you tried, or do you use, the Beatport Pro app for Windows (or Mac)? How do you find it? Please share your thoughts in the comments. Download the Beatport Pro desktop app for free for Mac or Windows here.This news means that finally, Windows users (a platform where, after all, iTunes is not as ubiquitous as on Mac) have a chance to see if the app fits their workflow, too. We reviewed it last year (here’s our Beatport Pro review), and found it to be a good (if not perfect) attempt at being an iTunes replacement for DJs. The Beatport Pro app has tight integration with the Beatport Pro store, and has things like waveforms and DJ-specific tagging to help DJs slice and dice their music libraries more effectively. ![]() That’s now been put right, with the latest version of the app (a program that packs features designed to make organising and filtering music much easier for DJs) finally being available for Windows too.

Remote Desktop only takes a few minutes to set up and can be used as a workaround for accessing Windows and Mac software on a Chromebook. You can also use a Chromebook and its Chrome Remote Desktop to connect to other computers with the Chrome browser installed on them. It is mainly for business users, though, and not the best option for regular consumer use. It allows you to run full-featured Windows applications. ![]() That said, software maker Parallels now makes Parallels for Chrome for Chrome Enterprise. Again, though, Chromebooks are not natively compatible with software for Windows or Mac. Adobe does have limited versions of CC apps for Android that are supported on Chromebooks, so depending on what exactly you're doing you might be able to get by. Take this same approach with every application on your list that is a must-have.įor example, if you need a laptop to run full Adobe Creative Cloud software like InDesign and Photoshop, a Chromebook's not a good fit. You'll want to be sure all the tools you need are available online or in the apps before making the switch, though. There are progressive web app versions of Office software that look and behave just like the Office 365 mobile apps. Chromebook: What's the Difference and Which Works Best for YouĪ hurdle for some is the need to run Microsoft Office or some other native Windows or Mac software. And if it isn't running quite right, you can reset it with Chrome's Powerwash feature and in a couple of minutes, the system is clean and fresh. It's nearly impossible for Chromebooks to be corrupted with viruses or other malware. Accounts for kids can be managed with Google Family Link. Everyone in the family can have separate Google accounts and signing in gives them access to only their stuff and not yours. Apps for services like Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, YouTube and YouTube Music are also available so there are plenty of entertainment options.Īlso, some of the same reasons Chromebooks are good for schools and businesses make them excellent family computers. And, again, you can play Android and browser-based games on them, too. Also, Google and game-maker Valve have developed a way to install and play older PC games on Chromebooks via Valve's Steam game store. Speaking of gaming, while you won't be able to play the latest PC games directly from a Chromebook, game-streaming services like Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce Now make gaming possible. It's basically this combination and some other key Chrome OS features (I'll get to those in a sec) that make Chromebooks an easier recommendation than they were even just a few years ago. ![]() If you can't find a web app to meet your needs, all modern Chromebooks can run Android apps, too, from the Google Play store. Microsoft Office is available for Chromebooks as PWAs, for example. More feature-rich web apps, called progressive web apps or PWAs, actually function like full mobile apps letting you do things like use them offline, store files locally and let you receive updates and notifications. Web apps are essentially website bookmarks that look like mobile apps on a phone or tablet and Google has a web store full of them. So many things, especially when it comes to productivity tasks like word processing and spreadsheets, can happen in a browser or with a web app. If everything on your list is done in a web browser, congratulations, Chromebooks are a perfect fit. ![]() Not sure if a Chromebook is right for you? Start by making a list of exactly what you need to do on a computer. ![]() This includes popular editors like Adobe, Foxit and Nitro.

Using “Save As” allows the editor to create a new file that’s clean and optimized. The result is a larger file size that grows every time you click “Save.” When you make changes or add new content to your document and click “Save,” your editor appends those changes to the end of your file. ![]() So, the original PDF file you created remains intact, including its file size. However, “Save As” always creates a new file whereas “Save” adds whatever changes you make to the original. Sure, they both have the ability to create new files on your device. The “Save” and “Save As” functions in many applications are different. Our first method to compress a PDF is by using the ‘Save As’ button, and here’s why. You can use as many of these methods as you want.

The function subplot create a figure and a set of subplots. We will demonstrate in our examples how this can be accomplished with the funtion subplots. The idea is to have more than one graph in one window and each graph appears in its own subplot. The more interesting case is, if you want two plots beside of each other for example. This is not a problem, because it will be enough to put the two plots in your scripts, as we have seen before. ![]() In the simplest case this might mean, that you have one curve and you want another curve printed over it.

It does react and stabilize the aircraft but it, perhaps unsurprisingly, doesn’t have the finely tuned response that the DCS version does. The FCS is also not modeled beyond the basics. This feels as light as a feather and having recently done some aerobatics in the DCS version with no weapons or gear attached, I should have a similar feeling. By all rights, the reports that we have from pilots who have flown both C and E models are that the Super Hornet flies about the same but it’s just a bit heavier feeling. Pulling the jet into some maneuvers is where the experience is the least authentic. DCS has no problem giving us the full length of the throttle axis for this so MSFS should be able to do it too. It’s not how it should be but that’s how they have done it and I do hope that it gets a fix. Once in the air I went in and bound a control to engage the afterburner. Taking off I immediately discovered that the jet doesn’t go into afterburner. On the other hand, I did get some static from the sound system when there were a lot of jets around so it may just not be able to handle that. I do with MSFS’ aircraft would have more prolonged sound effects as the jets rumble off into the distance but they don’t which does degrade the experience a bit. Taxiing out on the runway, it’s clear that this airbase is attracting lots of attention from other pilots as there were Super Hornet’s taking off and zooming around everywhere. I flew from MCAS Miramar, the famous home of Top Gun and the Fighter Weapons School, and it was neat to see as Asobo have given the airport some love with tons of Super Hornet’s kicking around and even some parked helicopters. There’s no OBOGS, no INS alignment, the MFD and HUD interfaces come right on, and there’s no attack radar, FLIR or other types of controls that you’d get with the higher end experience. ![]() There are plenty of things that are missing from that flow of course. In-fact, I used my usual flow and I was able to start the jet up right away without a problem. The same applies to the start-up sequence which has all of the basics of what I’m used to in the DCS Hornet. Asobo didn’t ram a G1000 in somewhere where one shouldn’t be so for the casual flier this is pretty close to an authentic cockpit. ![]() There are some differences between what I’m used to in the Charlie model in DCS but nothing is terribly out of place. Inside the cockpit, the aircraft once again looks the part and everything is where it should be. I wasn’t expecting all of that but it is there. The leading edge surfaces, the auto, takeoff and landing flaps, and even the hook and folding wings are modeled. They didn’t skimp too much, however, as there are all of the basic features of the jet modeled. Here I don’t think the team quite nailed the visual appeal of the Hornet, however, it’s still pretty good and it holds up well unless you get a little too close and look at the details. That factory finish extends to the exterior of the model. Most of the default aircraft in the sim look the part and this one does too. Hopping into the cockpit, I can say that the team at Asobo does what they usually do in providing a nice clean factor finish aircraft that actually looks quite good. More than that, prior versions of Flight Simulator have also featured the Hornet with many of the same limitations so in many ways this is a return to form for the series.įinally, this was not created to be or intended as a full fidelity simulation of the Super Hornet. Next, the F/A-18E Super Hornet that they have put together is a free addition and one that was originally slated to be part of a movie tie in. I’m not particularly upset by this as it is a civil aviation sim and they haven’t modeled any of the things that weapons would do to aircraft, ground targets, or the like so that’s not the focus. First, Microsoft Flight Simulator is not a combat sim and that goes so far as to say that they have official policy that aircraft will not carry weapons when sold in the official Marketplace. ![]() Setting expectationsīefore I get any further into this piece, I want to lay out what expectations you should have with this aircraft. So, now that I’ve flown the Hornet around a bit, I wanted to give some of my impressions of the jet and help set expectations when you hop into the cockpit for the first time. Originally intended to be launched as part of the Top Gun: Maverick movie tie in, the Hornet is coming early with the new Game of the Year edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator while the rest of the content awaits the release of the movie next year. So, when news came that the Asobo team were bringing the F/A-18E Super Hornet to Microsoft Flight Simulator, I was very excited to see another sim get a Hornet of some kind. Regular readers of this blog will know that I’m a big fan of the F/A-18 Hornet and that I’ve spent a lot of time flying the DCS: F/A-18C Hornet in that sim. |
