![]() ![]() In replying she of course lost her grip on the baton and plummeted to the sea below.* "I don't know I've got my eyes closed, pal." Knowing that as a polite and well brought up young lass Abscissa was bound to answer, which she did saying "Lovely view from up here, eh, Your Highness?" Although this was Abscissa's first flight all went well until they were halfway across the sea, when the swan's sense of humour and incorrigible lack of responsibility led him to say In Abscissa's case by gripping the baton with her teeth. This referred to the swan's usual method of carrying passengers, namely balancing a stout wooden baton across the tops of his webbed feet with his passenger holding onto the central part of the baton. "Just remember to keep your mouth closed on the way across." King Nestor's parting words to Abscissa were The swan, who to be fair was often misunderstood due to his love of practical jokes and his astringently dry sense of humour, which he kept to himself, was more used to ferrying turtles so he was more than a bit honoured by this task. King Nestor said that rather than going all the way round the great sea Abscissa could use the swan to fly her across, that way she would be back in time for the latest episode of Homer's Odyssey. One day King Nestor called for Abscissa and instructed her to pop across to his brother King Zog of Charybdis and see if he had finished with the two dozen goats he had borrowed the previous weekend to graze the lawn. The one positive aspect of Abscissa's ugliness was that the goddess Athene, who was reputedly very beautiful and notoriously unkind towards attractive female mortals saw that Abscissa was no sort of rival and therefore regarded her as one of her favourites. What is agreed by all authorities is that she had teeth and jaws of immense strength, and no argument about the trotters. Other sources say that while she was certainly repulsive to a remarkable degree, she only looked like a donkey and kept the real donkey's head in a pot of basil in a box room in the highest turret of the north west tower, behind the hyperboreans. It is said in some sources that while in every other respect she appeared to be a fairly normal, run of the mill princess she possessed instead of a human head the head of a donkey, and instead of hands pigs trotters. ("What are you lot complaining about now? Look at the quality of that you'd have to go a long way to find better than that! Fair cleans the tubes out, eh?"Īnd so on in that vein.) - so that was the end of the matter.Ībscissa was the hideously ugly seventh daughter of the seventh daughter of the immensely rich King Nestor of Scylla, so that's alright then. ![]() The owners of these sheep and cattle made numerous pleas to the gods to rid them of this monster but Poseidon had repeatedly advised them to stop complaining and be grateful for the large quantities of exceptionally high quality manure that Gyron left behind For the most part Gyron contented himself with large quantities of fish and other sea creatures for food but would occasionally (usually on quarter days) emerge from the murky depths to devour a herd of cattle or a flock of sheep - always in multiples of six animals, for although he had nine heads he had only six stomachs. Gyron was the nine headed sea-serpent which lived in the immeasurable depths of the great inland sea that lay between the twin cities of Scylla and Charybdis. The tale of Gyron and Abscissa was one of those considered by Ovid but not used in the Metamorphoses.

A 20-hour charge is on the high side of average for a gaming headset, but that should be more than enough for most players, so long as you keep a charging solution handy to top it off between sessions. Anecdotally, I found the headset lasted through about three days of regular use on average, even when regularly pairing and unpairing with my smartphone. According to Turtle Beach, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 should last through 20 hours on a single charge, up from just 10 hours per charge on the original. And thanks to a much longer-lasting battery, you can wear the Stealth 700 Gen 2 through lots of long gameplay sessions. Normally, mesh covering on earcups is a red flag for me – it’s often scratchy and heats up quickly: The Stealth 700 Gen 2 only started to feel hot after long gameplay sessions, which I found impressive. The cups also feature a thick layer of cooling memory foam padding, coated with leatherette on the sides and a smooth mesh over the front. The cups feel like they conform to the shape of your ears, but also feel quite roomy. The entire headset is slightly larger than its budget-friendly counterpart, but there’s an outsized difference in the earcups, where it counts. One of the big advantages of the Stealth 700 Gen 2 – over both its predecessor and the Stealth 600 Gen 2 – is comfort. You may also notice the issue when rotating the Stealth 700 Gen 2’s earcups on their hinges, which allow the cups to lie flat on your chest or on a table. Like the Stealth 600 Gen 2, the band lines up with the front of the cans, rather than the center, which can make it feel like you’re putting the gaming headset on backward when you wear them the first time. The top band is made of plastic with a steel frame, which becomes visible when you adjust the cans. Though the plastic band is slightly larger and features a steel frame, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 features the same rotating hinges as the Stealth 600 Gen 2, and the same shaped earcups designed to hug your ears. It’s a more subtle design – one that better matches the new design languages of both current and next-gen Xboxes, and with most people’s homes.Even with all its changes, though, the Stealth 700 Gen 2 is still a more feature-rich version of the Stealth 600 Gen 2, and the last generation of Turtle Beach’s Stealth headsets. There’s no Stealth logo, like on the original Stealth 700, and the Xbox green accents on the earcups have been replaced with silver metal. ![]() It’s top band is plain, without any superfluous molding.

Sightings during the South Georgia expeditionĪ team of scientists led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) were able to share some good news when returning from their recent expedition to the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. From about 125,000 individuals in 1926, numbers were reduced to about 3,000 individuals in 2018, which classifies them as “critically endangered” on the IUCN Red List. Despite the legal protection through the International Whaling Commission in 1960’s, illegal hunting continued until 1972. The Blue whale population in Antarctica was drastically reduced by commercial whaling, which started in South Georgia (South Atlantic) in 1904.

After you've drawn an object, you often need to make it larger or smaller. Individual shapes that are drawn with CAD are called objects. To keep things simple, we'll use either the most commonly used name or one that best describes the tool's function. It's worth noting that tool names are not always the same among programs. There's not room in this article to discuss all of them, but several are worth describing because they are particularly useful or user-friendly. Most CAD programs have dozens of tools, and you will use many of them every time you make a drawing. CAD programs also have tools common to most computer software, including commands for opening and saving files, printing, copying, cutting, pasting and even spell-checking. To use a tool, you click on it with your computer mouse, then draw the shape on the screen's drawing area. There are also tools for adding dimensions and even a rubber-stamp tool that will copy and paste a shape multiple times. Some tools draw lines, rectangles and curves, while others modify and combine these lines into new shapes. ![]() After you've printed the paper pattern, simply attach it to your workpiece with double-sided tape or spray adhesive and saw around it.Ī CAD program uses a variety of specialized tools to create drawings. You don't need a special printer to make full-size patterns, because CAD programs can split a large drawing across several sheets of letter-size paper. And you'll never have to worry about wearing a hole in your paper with your eraser.įull-size patterns are particularly helpful when your project has a large or complex shape. You can make changes to the copies much more quickly than you could using pencil and paper. The first design may take you just as long to draw with CAD as with pencil and paper, but once you have a drawing, you can copy it as many times as you like in a matter of seconds. This is a huge advantage when you need to measure an unusual angle or the radius of an arc.ĬAD is great for exploring design options and proportions. With CAD, even arcs and angles are easy to measure. Measuring the parts of your project is fast and accurate because the computer does the math for you. In the end, all 15 programs we tested were capable of making precise drawings, but some were considerably easier to learn and use than others. Our primary goal for this test was to find a CAD program that's easy to learn and use, yet powerful enough to create precise woodworking project drawings. Trial programs have some limitations but are complete enough to let you take the software for a good test drive. Most CAD programs are available as free trial downloads. Thanks to the Internet, you can try before you buy. Others are more general in nature and make a better choice for us. Some are made specifically for architects or engineers and are more specialized or advanced than most woodworkers need. Dozens of CAD programs are on the market, ranging in price from a few dozen to thousands of dollars. ![]() A CAD program may not be on the top of your “tools to buy” list, but using CAD does provide some big benefits if you like to design your own projects or build projects that have lots of curves and angles in them.
