![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Ultraviolet Battle Hymns …’, the band’s first for long-standing UK indie Fire Records, is a more concise work, dispensing with the long grooves instead focussing on the band’s melodic strengths blending vintage Krautrock, Eno-like ambience and Neu-inspired rhythmic groove.Īs 2023 dawns, with their new label’s support, the band are preparing for what, remarkably, will be their first ever proper UK tour. And I think that that shows on the record, there are some dark songs but it’s kind of a pretty lively, upbeat record.” “It was so exciting because we were just happy to be hanging out together. “We went in in the middle of 2021, so in the thick of the pandemic, and got together and had the greatest time, just kind of writing the songs that ended up on ‘Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions.’ Is it going to be a year? Two years? The rest of our lives? So, finding a way we could play music together and connect with people all around the world was really great.”įortunately, everyone’s worst fears were not realised and, as COVID restrictions eased, the band were able to return to the studio for the first time in a couple of years. “At the time, we didn’t know how long it would be. It’s so much part of our lives and the prospect of not having that was kind of sad. “Incredibly, I mean, they kept us going because we both tour and play music so often. The Dream Syndicate were on hold but Steve found a way to continue performing through two runs of online shows, usually accompanied by his wife Linda Pitmon on percussion, and he acknowledges how important these shows were. During 2020, I actually made a list of all the things that had happened to find some consolation, thinking if we never leave our houses again then at least I had a fun year.” “But I look back on 2019 and, man, that was probably my most productive year and more exciting things happened with all my different projects. “We were all frustrated by suddenly having putting the brakes on everything, like every person in the world. In those circumstances singer/guitarist/songwriter Steve Wynn found some solace in what the band had managed to achieve before the pandemic hit. ‘The Universe Inside’ was released in May 2020 but plans to tour the record had to be scrapped during a period of great uncertainty for all full-time musicians. However, the band’s progress was at risk of being derailed as the pandemic hit. ‘Universe’ was completely different to what had gone before, an hour-long record with just five songs which had originated in an unplanned late-night jam session during the sessions for ‘These Times’. It’s one of the best (yet most under-rated) rock records of the 21st century.Ī further album ‘These Times’ followed in 2019 taking the band in a more overtly psychedelic direction, a journey which culminated in the next record, ‘The Universe Inside’. Unshackled from any record company pressures, HDIFMH was a glorious statement of intent incorporating crunching guitars and drones into the songs and even elements of funk and jazz into the epic title track. Reforming in 2012 initially to play shows and have some fun, contrary to their own expectations, four years of touring the old songs led to a new album, 2017’s ‘How Did I Find Myself Here’. The Dream Syndicate hit Glasgow in March for two shows at the Hug & Pint, their first ever in Scotland, as part of a ten date UK tour.Ĭoming to prominence in the early 1980s as part of L.A.’s Paisley Underground scene, despite four well received albums, the band were gradually ground down by the machinations of the 80s record industry, splitting in 1989. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Fixed several holes (after optimization fix) over I-80 and I-580 in Reno and Carson City area. I can only recommend lowering your graphics in the game's options or getting better equipment (PC). I understand that many people may not be able to run the map, and I apologize for those details. We have decided to prioritize the creation of new areas rather than focusing our attention on optimizing/replacing old areas of the map, and occasionally we will also make remodels to optimize the map. This work also involves remodeling the landscape in many old road sections, which is a titanic task. Over the years, we have improved and learned new mapping techniques that are more optimal, and SCS has implemented better tools that help us optimize and improve the landscape. We understand that the map has many optimization problems due to poor mapping techniques applied in old areas of the map or due to the heaviness of some cities. We optimized Chihuahua, Mazatlán, Nogales, Culiacán, and Zacatecas. *We continue to work on optimization, with many improvements made by Jose (Blaquichan). ![]() We also do not rule out rebuilding both cities from scratch in the future, including other missing cities like Tecate, Valle de Gpe, and La Rumorosa. We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause. The Ensenada garage was left to avoid errors for users who purchased a garage there Tijuana did not have any garages. Both cities are no longer at the level of our work, so we decided to remove them, and we will make their remodeled versions in the future. *The cities of Tijuana and Ensenada (including La Rumorosa) were removed in preparation for a possible future improvement (once SCS remodels San Diego, California). Part of this decision to separate it from the main Reforma map is to avoid unnecessary problems in the future with the more popular Mexico map. Please note that this mod runs the risk of becoming incompatible and discontinued in the future if SCS makes drastic changes that could affect the map's functionality. The decision to separate the Sierra Nevada map means that many people also prefer SCS's remodeling of California, which in some aspects is newer and of higher quality than our older work in many areas. The Reforma Mexico map is currently the Reforma map, which no longer applies. If you want the Sierra Nevada map or your profile configured with that map, you will need to download and activate it in your mods. This was suggested and requested by many users who prefer only the Mexico map. *The Sierra Nevada map was separated from Reforma, and the legacy version of Sierra Nevada is still available. Some decisions we made that may be controversial: even the floating hill in Hermosillo has been removed xD, I thank those who supported us in reporting bugs on Discord. Work has been done on error correction, signaling, potholes, invisible walls, new gas station info totems in the US. New bypass road in Aguascalientes, as well as improvements on the 80D stretch between Lagos de Moreno and SLP, Ojuelos, and improvements in the south of the city of SLP in the industrial zone. Make sure to download the latest version of Mega Resources with the same version number as Reforma Map 2.5.4 and Mega Resources 2.5.4. Among many other assets that will help us create better landscapes. Soon we will give a more Mexican touch to both old and new cities. New tropical palm trees have been added that better suit the map's ambiance, thanks to Marco Esquivel for his palm models and other objects implemented in the Mega Resources, as well as new models of Mexican-style houses by Marco Esquival and Blaquichan (José Trucking). Report any errors if you see abnormal traffic behavior. Now Mexican traffic is back to its old ways, a bit crazy, not always respecting speed limits. Speed limit corrections have been made on the Mexican map. The tunnel echo has also been corrected, take a new ride on the Mazatlan-Durango to hear the new atmosphere, it will be a spectacular ride. Now you can hear ambient sounds, such as a waterfall or streams when crossing different bridges and rivers on the map. New ambient sounds throughout the map (FMOD), many thanks to Blaquichan for helping me over this! This feature was implemented in 1.47. All this new work is completely FREE in this update, you can support Pazz for his work /pazzmapping New cities! Puerto Peñasco, Sonoyta remodeling in Sonora, new border crossing between Mexico and the US through Sonoyta and Lukeville, new towns in Arizona such as Gila Bend, Ajo, some improvements to the west of Phoenix, as well as the remodeled city of Yuma. New zones have been created, remodeled, and improved in California, Arizona, and Sonora, work done by Pazz, which you can see in the following shots. All Reforma projects have been updated for version 1.47, including Sierra Nevada, Reforma Los Altos Beta 1, Reforma Noreste Beta 1, Pazz Mod, compatibility patches, and others. ![]() ![]() ![]() With modern disks, the mean time for this is usually It takes time for the disk to find a piece ofĭata.

This is caused by different times of trains getting into platforms – faster response, less platforms needed. Please note that this sentence makes no sense until you provide all important information on which the platform count actually depends! Basically every station design requires different platform counts. What is usually the first question someone asks before building a station?

After a given time (usually short), the blocked train is able to move again without any player interference.ĭifferent stations have different requirements, needs and are expected to perform differently but I will try to describe some things that apply to all standard station types, occasionally explaining when, where and for which stations it applies more or less.

Simply put, this is a station that will be able to accept fully loaded lines (reasonably full, packed, or whatever – depends on situation) without slowing them down. Usually a station entry where trains from every incoming line are able to join any platform.Īn exit where trains are able to choose any outgoing line they want, or at least – providing enough choices as needed.

Here I present to you, ABR07: Stations.Īs building stations is a very complex topic and there isn’t too evolved (or insufficiently for this article) vocabulary, I will define some key elements I see in stations, and attempt to name them appropriately.

In monolingual people, areas in the frontal and temporal language regions – more specifically, the left supramarginal gyrus and the left inferior frontal gyrus – are activated when faced with phonological competition. In monolinguals, this “phonological” competition occurs only between words from the same language.īut bilinguals have similar-sounding words from their second language added into the mix. Marian also sought to clarify which brain regions are involved when bilinguals are faced with words that sound similar. Scientists think that the brains of bilinguals adapt to this constant coactivation of two languages and are therefore different to the brains of monolinguals. In fact, when a bilingual person hears words in one language, the other language also becomes activated. Marian explains in the paper that “ilinguals’ ability to seamlessly switch between two distinct communication systems masks the considerable control exerted at the neural level.” ![]() The research involved 16 bilingual individuals who had been exposed to Spanish from birth and to English by the time they were 8 years old. Viorica Marian – a professor of communication sciences and disorders at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL – and colleagues published a study last month in the journal Scientific Reports, investigating which areas of the brain are involved in language control. Scientists are now starting to unravel the mysteries of the bilingual brain and shed light on the advantages that having this skill may bring. ![]() While there is a tendency on the whole for bilinguals to lag behind monolinguals in their language development, this isn’t true for all children. Mixing languages does not seem to hold bilingual children back from learning both languages, but it takes longer to learn two languages than to learn one. Interestingly, children seem to naturally develop an understanding of who in the house speaks which language early on, and they will often choose the correct language to communicate with a particular individual – a phenomenon I have witnessed with my daughter, who is exposed to both German and English. When bilinguals mix words from different languages in one sentence – which is known as code-switching – it is not because they cannot tell which word belongs to which language. ![]() They are also capable of developing vocabulary in two languages without becoming confused. Do the brains of bilinguals differ from those of monolinguals? And do bilinguals have the edge over monolinguals when it comes to cognitive functioning and learning new languages?Īs a member of a bilingual household, I was keen to investigate.Ī 2015 review in the journal Seminars in Speech and Language explains how bilingual children develop their language skills, dispelling commonly believed myths.Īccording to authors Erika Hoff, a professor of psychology at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, and Cynthia Core, an associate professor of speech, language and hearing science at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., newborns can distinguish between different languages. With a rising number of bilingual people comes increased research into the science that underpins this skill. This number has more than doubled since 1980, when it stood at 9.6 percent. Data from the United States Census Bureau show that between 20, around 20.7 percent of people over the age of 5 spoke a language other than English at home. Instead, the number of bilinguals has been rising steadily. Gone are the days when using a second language in the home was frowned upon, labeled as confusing for children and supposedly holding back their development. How does the brain cope?Īttitudes toward bilingualism have changed significantly in the past 50 years.

You won't find any of Nissan's driver-assistance features here, but to be fair, those types of electronics aren't commonplace in most of the GT-R's rivals, either. How to Repair, Maintain, and Care for Your Car.Interior cubby storage is scarce with nothing more than large door pockets and a small center-console bin. Every model features a dual-zone climate control, leather-and-suede-covered upholstery, heated front seats, and more. The interior is nicely appointed and offers a host of standard features, but those seeking a high-end interior such as those of the Audi R8 or the Mercedes-AMG GT will be disappointed. Inside, the GT-R's front seats are plenty roomy but the rear seats are places only small children could find comfortable. For more information about the GT-R's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. However, we don't know its real-world mpg since we haven't tested one on our 200-mile highway fuel-economy route.

Nissan GT-R NISMO Special Edition Looks ToughĮPA estimates for the 2024 have yet to be released.2024 Nissan GT-R Puts Purple Makeup on Godzilla.(Insider tip: sources tell us that the NISMO actually makes considerably more than 600 horsepower, but Nissan didn’t want to rate it higher, possibly for reasons having to do with its homologation for the Japanese market.) As in past years, the ride is firm but not punishing and, thanks to active sound cancellation, the thrum of the GT-R's engine doesn't punish your ear drums when cruising on the highway. Want more? Check out the Track Edition and NISMO models with a tuned-up engine that makes 600 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque. The GT-R's quick steering, rigid structure, and adjustable suspension can make even amateurs feel positively heroic from behind the wheel. At our test track, the GT-R launched itself from zero to 60 mph in a mere 2.9 seconds. It hooks up to a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive that conspire to put all that power to the pavement. The 2023 GT-R's standard twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 makes a mighty 565 horsepower and 467 pound-feet of torque. In light of this, we'd suggest the less expensive GT-R T-Spec, which pushes the performance envelope but keeps the price point well below exotic rivals. While the ultimate version is the NISMO, it’s nearly twice as much as the Premium model and costs more than the exotic McLaren 570 and Porsche 911 Turbo S. Still, those seeking permanent seat time in the mightiest car to carry the GT-R badge probably aren't too worried about price. Somehow Nissan charges six figures for a car that cost less than that when it debuted a decade ago-and hasn't changed much since. We’re not sure how much longer this generation of the iconic nameplate will remain in production, and those who decide to buy a new one will surely appreciate the still-monstrous capability of Godzilla. The same dual-clutch automatic transmission and grippy all-wheel drive system are present, and they work together to provide the blistering acceleration that the GT-R has come to be known for. The usual performance bits are still present, too, including e-adjustable Bilstein dampers and Brembo brakes with carbon-ceramic setups for the performance-focused variants. The twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 engine still makes 600 horsepower under the hood of Nismo units, while Premium and T-Spec models see a tamer yet still potent 565 ponies.
