![]() ![]() Netflix’s Chef’s Table is a visual and gustatory feast, and the first episode introduced me to the culinary talents of Massimo Bottura, chef of the three-Michelin-star Osteria Francescana, in Modena, Italy. And yes, Charlie was dancing.Just before he left for college, my son turned me on to a TV show that’s become my new binge-watching passion. Bass was, as expected, somewhat profound, but that sweet-spot seat was jealously defended and the from what I heard, rightfully so. Availability is slated for “Winter”.Īs for the sound in the room? Punchy. Geometry will be similar to the Seven Plus, but will feature a new grounding scheme. ![]() ![]() Like the Digital Plus, the Obsession (or whatever its eventual name turns out to be) will feature conductive (silver, in this case) mylar under a conductive carbon-fiber tech flex. This new cord, which Pete is only half-jokingly calling “Obsession” given he amount of time he’s fiddling with the design, will clock in nearer to $1,000, but that’s very tentative at this point. Pricing starts at $499 and general availability is “Fall”.Īlso in evidence was a prototype of Pete’s no-holds barred thinking around things power cord, and may feature top-of-the-line (and priced accordingly) Furutech FI-50M connectors or the new Iego five-9’s, OHNO-cast solid-silver connectors, with either eventually mated to the Ted Paisley carbon-fiber body. Pete says that this tuning goes a long way to taking the edge off the “digital nasties”. There are also custom carbon-fiber plug and IEC connectors, designed by Ted Paisley of Wavelength Audio/Video in Dallas and featuring pink-gold plating over pure copper. This new cable feature a specifically tuned dielectric with conductive gold mylar sheathing under a conductive carbon fiber tech-flex. One was the new “Digital Plus” power cable used to power up the Esoteric. Just in case.Īll the cabling came from Triode Wire Labs, and chief Pete Grzybowski was on hand to show off his American Speaker Cables (prices start at $599/pair) and Spirit interconnects (starting at $299/pair), which continue to set value anchors, but it’s his monstrous Seven Plus power cords (starting at $499), used here on the amplifiers, power conditioner and sub amps, that really set him apart in my book.Ī quick poke around turned up two curiosities. ![]() Steve also brought along a giant, silver $20k K-01 SACD/DAC from Esoteric. BG Radia BGX 12sb and BGA2 subwoofer units sat in all four corners of the room - these “subwoofers” are designed for free-standing or in-wall use, and run $5,100 for a pair (which includes an amp). This system is a hybrid planar which includes a pair of 900wpc mono block amps and a Behringer Ultracurve Pro for the bass. A $1,950 Dodd Audio variable gain (+6dB/+12dB) battery-powered tube (6H30 here also) preamp and a PI Audio Group UberBUSS power conditioner for distribution was tucked back behind the Kanso Audio Furniture audio racks ( more on Kanso, here).Ĭharlie partnered up with Steve Rabitz of Sound Insight, to show off the new BG Radia FS 680 for all the siss boom banging. On the deck were the $7,250/pair Arion HS-500SE hybrid tube mono blocks good for 1kW into 4Ω, with a 6H30 input stage.

![]() ![]() Free energy is useful because it predicts whether a reaction will happen or not essentially, and it’s based on the entropy change of the universe from the second law. This also means a positive change in free energy is nonspontaneous because it decreases the entropy of the universe. Since the change in the universe’s entropy must be positive for a process to be spontaneous, this means ΔG has to be negative. The change in Gibbs free energy is also related to change in entropy for the universe: ΔG = -TΔSuniv (again through some algebra). ![]() Using the above equations and some algebra we can construct the formula: ΔG = ΔH – TΔSsyt, where ΔG is the change in free energy for the system. The opposite effect happens for an endothermic reaction.Īnd then finally probably the most useful formula is Gibbs free energy which measures how spontaneous a reaction is. So if a reaction is exothermic, a negative change in enthalpy, heat is given off by the reaction and is dispersed into the surroundings causing an increase in the surrounding’s entropy. It’s important to note the negative sign in the equation which means that the change in enthalpy for the system creates an opposite signed entropy change in the surroundings. And it only works at specific temperatures (different values of T cause different changes in entropy) since entropy is temperature dependent. This equation only works at constant pressure since enthalpy equals heat only at constant pressure. Since a change in entropy (and enthalpy) for a system creates an accompanying change in entropy for the surroundings we can use the formula: ΔSsur = -ΔHsyt/T, where ΔHsyt is the change in enthalpy for the system, and T is temperature in kelvins. The change in enthalpy for a reaction we can determine experimentally using calorimetry. But we can relate the change in the surrounding’s entropy to another thermodynamic quantity we know well, the enthalpy change of the system. Measuring the change in entropy for a system is relatively easy, but measuring the change in entropy for the surroundings is less easy to do directly. ![]() Using this formula we can judge if a reaction is spontaneous or not based on whether its change in entropy, and the surrounding accompanying change in entropy, facilitates a positive or negative change in entropy for the universe (following the second law). Together we get a formula for the overall change of entropy based on the system and surroundings: ΔSuniv = ΔSsyt + ΔSsur, where ΔSsyt is the change in the entropy of the system and ΔSsur is the change in the entropy of the surroundings. And the entropy of the surroundings (everything but the system itself) also being influenced by the entropy of the system. So we can imagine a reaction as a system whose entropy we care about. Usually when we do chemistry though we’re concerned not so much directly with the entropy of the universe, but rather the entropy change which accompanies a chemical reaction. This is why gas particles spread out in a container instead of concentrate themselves into a small area. The law and the formula essentially state that the universe naturally prefers greater levels of entropy and allows any process which causes a positive increase, but prohibits any process which causes a negative increase. A spontaneous process is one which happens naturally without the need of outside energy or work to help it along. So W is measuring how many energetically equivalent microstates a system can organize its energy into to get the same macrostate (or the system as we can observe it on a human scale).Īnother formula uses the second law of thermodynamics: ΔSuniv > 0, which put into words states that any spontaneous process increases the entropy of the universe (creates a positive change). A microstate is a particular way to order energy. Boltzmann’s formula uses a more mathematical approach to entropy by using W. The unit for entropy is the same as Boltzmann’s constant which means that entropy can also be understood as how many energy can be dispersed at a certain temperature since entropy is temperature dependent. One equation is Boltzmann’s equation: S = k*ln(W), where S is entropy (the usual variable for entropy), k is Boltzmann’s constant which is equal to the gas constant divided by Avogadro’s number which is approximately equal to 1.38 x 10^(-23) J/K, and W is the number of microstates which is a unitless quantity. There are several because entropy can be explained and used in a variety of ways. Since entropy is primarily dealing with energy, it’s intrinsically a thermodynamic property (there isn’t a non-thermodynamic entropy).Īs far as a formula for entropy, well there isn’t just one. First it’s helpful to properly define entropy, which is a measurement of how dispersed matter and energy are in a certain region at a particular temperature. ![]() ![]() ![]() Air Conditioners and Egg Incubators can make hatching eggs a breeze while Refrigerators and Oil Pumps can take the rough grind out of gaming. You can transform your base with Crystal and a few mid-game items like it. Simple things like a Spyglass can make spotting creatures easier, while items like the Camera can help you find the small joys in life. While tools won’t change the way you play Ark, they can speed up the process of gathering times and simply improve the quality of your life. Combat GearĪs you can see, the ways you can use Crystal to improve your ability to protect yourself, and ensure that your dinos have their best chance against enemies, is alluring, to say the least. It’s like a cross between the Flying Nimbus and a Maewing, only it runs on Element. The Hoversail from Genesis 2 is my favorite Tek item to date. These items aren’t for combat, but they can make life a lot easier. ![]() Tek EquipmentĪlong with a full Tek suit, you can build numerous other useful Tek items with Crystal. Personally, I find Tek Claws to be the most progressive, and downright fun Tek weapon. The Tek Sword is a popular choice because it isn’t exceedingly costly but still packs a punch when something catches you off-guard. Tek WeaponsĪll Tek items require Crystal, but to make things easier, I’ve outlined the Tek weapons available, as you probably want to know what you can make in the future. These saddles include Tek saddles and certain saddles with weapons attached. Most saddles do not require Crystal, but there are a few that do. In order to build a Hazard suit, charge batteries, and collect gas, you need Crystal.

Greenhouse structures are only slightly stronger than Thatch structures and much weaker than the rest. While you will need Metal Ingot and Cementing Paste to build a greenhouse, Crystal is the primary ingredient. Greenhouses are used to help crop plots prosper. Greenhouse StructuresĪll of the Greenhouse structures need Crystal. The other materials are Metal Ingot, Element, Polymer, and occasionally Cementing Paste. ![]() To be honest, Crystal is the easiest material to gather when building Tek structures. The list for Tek structures is extensive, so let me just say that you need Crystal to build any Tek structure, from doors to gateways to catwalks. At first, the need for Crystal is uncommon, but once you hit mid-game and start upgrading your structures/equipment, you’ll be glad you stocked up, or wish you would have. What is Crystal Used For?Ĭrystal is more important the further you get in the game. It didn’t play a huge role in the first couple of maps, but with each new map, the importance of Crystal is expanded. But it can be used to craft over 140 items and counting. It is an ore that cannot be refined nor used as fuel. What Is Crystal In Ark: Survival Evolved?Ĭrystal is a limitless resource in Ark: Survival Evolved. Let’s begin our Ark Crystal guide by looking at what the Crystal actually is. Whatever your reason for gathering Crystal is, the fact of the matter remains that Crystal is necessary to advance in Ark. Other times, it’s to upgrade all of my Metal gear to Tek gear. Sometimes, all I gather Crystal for is to put an operating mirror up at my PvE base. While you may not find yourself needing Crystal before building your first base, it does come in handy later on. ![]() For example, you can print checks and optional check vouchers to make manual bill paying easy.

Attacks like ambushes deprive your enemy of their first round of attacks. When your squad attacks an enemy's on the battlefield map, we jump to close-up combat for two alternating rounds of attacks: Attacker first, then defender. These two parts of Symphony are so thoroughly and delightfully linked. Oh, sorry, we're talking about squad building again, aren't we? It can't be helped. A squad of mostly light infantry can ignore terrain penalties and attack from cover for an ambush bonus, while cavalry can inflict morale-shattering Shock with a charge in open terrain, and while heavy infantry have neither benefit, they do give bonus defense to units behind them on the squad layout grid… One square vertical or horizontal is one move, no diagonals, and each squad moves in a way determined by its majority composition. This is on the face of it really simple grid-based combat. Sticking to a tight turn limit, eliminating key enemies, and completing those bonus objectives lets you raise your faction rank-more on that later. On the field you've got objectives to capture, challenges to attempt, and resources to pillage from mines. ![]() Each mission has a squad deployment limit, generally ranging from 5 to the late-game total of 20.

Over it all is a cheery soundtrack, and though it's a bit thin, the tracks it does have are quite good-they capture the mood well. The pixel art is actually especially nice, and really packs a lot of character and energy into pretty small spaces. It's all carried off in bright, cheerful pixel art in battles, and more muted static character portraits during dialogue. Stuff like employing boring objectives during a forced loss mission, or forcing you to play out extremely one-sided missions where you can't lose. There's also a notable failure to blend story and mechanics in a few parts by employing similar strategy game tropes. Sometimes the story steps in, taking away units for a few missions or limiting which forces you can bring to bear-which is done well here, but is a pet peeve for many. The loop is to manage the army, read some story, fight, read a bit more, and manage your army again. This is, to be pointed, not a genre that many players come to for fine characterization and poignant storytelling and for all the mechanical innovation you won't find it here either. The story is nothing too complex or adult, but not so bad that it distracts from the fun of actually playing. Don't expect a fully-fledged dating sim ala modern Fire Emblem here, just a tree of conversations to click through at your leisure. Your main heroes talk and form familial or romantic bonds between missions, showing off a bit of personality, though that feature is very anemic compared to other games. There's a melodramatically over-the-top story tied to it all, too: your classic semi-apocalyptic end of the world and attendant divinely-chosen savior stuff. There are 30 core missions, a handful of side quests, an arena system to fight in for rewards, and a forthcoming endless training mode. There's not a dearth of world to explore, either. Always buy those.) Increasingly specialized units also need increasingly specialized resources, which you have to buy from markets and retrieve from mines and villages during missions: Gemstones to make mages, horses for cavalry, iron for infantry, and rarer resources-sunstones, obsidian-the further up the class tree you get. (You'll want to save some, too, in case you encounter rare Bazaars mid-mission-they've got the best stuff of all.
