A keen desire to change our energy infrastructure, and make the grid work in everyone's favor, especially the end users. First hand knowledge of the rigors and joys of being EV drivers.Q: What's the secret sauce for the Pro 40?Ī: “I can name two things that we feel makes the Pro 40 a great charger. This is available in our new Green 40 product - parallel in all other regards to our Pro.” This opens up all sorts of possibilities, many of which we are already actively leveraging to make the JuiceBox the most beneficial EVSE out there.Īs well as working with utilities to optimize rate plans, we can view the grid's generation profile and optimize your EV charging for carbon emissions by controlling charge appropriately over time. On the server side, the Pro 40 offers revenue-grade sub-metering. They are compact and lightweight for portable use, and can even be taken on the road with you. The free web browser and *smartphone app allow you to set charge limits and monitor from anywhere!įurthermore, all JuiceBox units come ready to install simply by plugging in to a 240V outlet or 120V outlet with adapter. Precision energy metering lets you know exactly how much energy goes into charging your EV while TOU (time of use) lets you take advantage of the best possible off-peak rates from your utility. Q: What advantages does the JuiceBox Pro 40 have over higher priced 40 Amp EV Chargers?Ī: “For the EV owner, the Pro 40 brings a host of control and monitoring features, as well as industry leading power and safety features into the hands of the residential or commercial user. We asked Dorian Vargas-Reighley - Director of Production & Technical Support at Electric Motor Werks, which produces the Pro 40 in the US, a couple of questions: The Pro 40 comes standard with Energy Metering, WiFi, and a *SmartPhone app with control options. The JuiceBox Pro 40 charges your car up to 10x faster than the cord that it comes with, and for $599 is fully configured and ready to plug in. EV drivers are finding that the JuiceBox Pro 40 Level 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Station is an affordable solution that has many of the same (and more) features as other big name Level 2 chargers for hundreds less.

A fragment from Euripides’ lost play Cretan Men ( Kretes) has the chorus describe themselves as initiates of Idaean Zeus and celebrants of “night-ranging Zagreus, performing his feasts of raw flesh”. 5th century BC), Zagreus seems to be the son of Hades, while in Aeschylus’ Egyptians ( Aigyptioi), Zagreus was apparently identified with Hades himself. In a fragment from one of Aeschylus’ lost Sysiphus plays (c. Perhaps here meaning the highest god of the underworld.Īnd apparently for Aeschylus, Zagreus was, in fact, an underworld god. “Mistress Earth, and Zagreus highest of all the gods.” The earliest is in a single quoted line from the (6th century BC?) epic Alcmeonis: The early mentions of Zagreus occur only in fragments from lost works. Noting “Hades’ identity as Zeus’ katachthonios alter ego”, Gantz thought it “likely” that Zagreus, originally, perhaps the son of Hades and Persephone, later merged with the Orphic Dionysus, the son of Zeus and Persephone. In the earliest mention of Zagreus, he is paired with Gaia (Earth) and called the “highest” god and Aeschylus links Zagreus with Hades, possibly as Hades' son, or Hades himself. 5, 228) suggests that Zagreus was often identified with other deities." 472 Nauck).Įarlier evidence, however, (e.g., Alkmaionis fr. 43.117 P), with a possible earlier precedent in the fragment from Euripides Cretans (fr. The association of Dionysos with Zagreus appears first explicitly in a fragment of Callimachus preserved in the Etymologicum Magnum (fr. The custom of some scholars aways refer to the dismembered god as Zagreus does not seem to be well advised, nor is there justification for treating the name as a characteristic feature of the Orphic story." It has not been proved that Zagreus and Dionysus are one and the same. Ivan Linforth however states that "the name Zagreus does not appear in any Orphic poem or fragment, nor is it used by any author who refers to Orpheus. In his reconstruction of the story, however, Lobeck made extensive use of the fifth-century CE epic of Nonnos, who does use the name Zagreus, and later scholars followed his cue. As Linforth noticed, 'It is a curious thing that the name Zagreus does not appear in any Orphic poem or fragment, nor is it used by any author who refers to Orpheus.' ![]() Radcliffe Edmonds says: "Lobeck 1892 seems to be responsible for the use of the name Zagreus for the Orphic Dionysos. They deposited them in a sacred cave on the isle and instituted the Samothrakian Mysteries in his honour.Īccording to Timothy Gantz, "Orphic sources preserved seem not to use the name "Zagreus", and according to Martin West, the "name was probably not used in the Orphic narrative". In another tale, the genitals of Sabazius were recovered by the Kabeiroi gods of Samothrake. From the drink she conceived the younger Dionysos, as a reincarnation of the first. Zeus recovered the child's heart and making it into a potion, fed it to one of his many lovers: Semele. Stories from the Orphic Hymns has the Titans, who were opposed to Zeus' power, Titans snuck into Olympos, take the child to the woods and beguile him with toys, then dismembered him and consumed the child except for his heart. ![]() Very little is known about the background of the Orphic Dionysus aside from the fact that he was regarded as the child of Zeus and Persephone. In the Orphics, Dionysus is generally referred to as Sabazius or Eubuleus (Which was an epithet for Hades) if he's not referred to as Dionysus. The only recorded instance where Zagreus is used as a name for the Orphic Dionysus is in Nonnos' Dionysiacas. He was later equated with the Orphic Dionysus, who was regarded as the "first-born Dionysus." According to Orphic hymns, he was the son of Zeus and Persephone, who Zeus seduced in the form of a drakon (dragon-like serpent), though an Aeschylus fragment from the 5th century BCE claims that Hades was his father. Zagreus was an Underworld God of the Orphic mysteries.

Today, however, he wasn’t feeling quite so magnanimous, and had unceremoniously shunted the small craft’s normal co-pilot into the bucket seat that was supposed to be reserved for an observer like him. To make everyone’s lives easier, he normally stayed out of the cockpit. It was always a struggle for the red-haired pilot to keep his hands and implants away from the controls and overrides when he was a passenger in a shuttle. whilst Weber seems to have lost his way somewhat and not know how to provide a satisfying ending to his ever growing series (mostly expanding in the middle and reaching no conclusion).Īs long as Stewart keeps giving us positive (happy) experiences and the drama lightened with a side story or two, I fully expect to continue buying these enjoyable books and rating them equally highly.Wing Commander Kyle Roberts did not enjoy being flown by someone else. I am definitely continuing with the next couple of books in the series (already bought them!) Not quite as good as David Weber's Honor Harrington books but I can hope that Stewart manages to complete the story. Overall, I would probably give this particular book a rating of about 4.3 but its place as part of the series has meant that I have erred on the side of generosity to scrape it in with the full 5 star rating. This always was going to be a military space opera and the central character, Kyle Roberts is likeable, flawed but knows he could be better and generally gets things right by finding solutions to seemingly dire situations. A minority of reviewers have said that the characterisations are weak but I didn't notice that and those people that the author wanted us to focus upon seemed to be expanded to a suitable level. This one was a bit darker than the previous two episodes but lightened by a love story percolating in the background. ![]() The saga continues with this third book in the series and I have to confess that I am pretty much gripped by now. ![]() This 3rd instalment is by far the best in the series so far and is worth reading the entire series for, as it is an exceptionally brilliant book based around some of the best starship combat to date. The dialogue between the characters has developed with each novel, getting stronger, more realistic still with a good degree of humour which has been one of the highlights of this series, but tempered with a very real understanding of the life and death situations they are facing. Stewart must have spent hours planning the fine detail of the battles and laying out the very ships to have been able to describe these battles with such intricate detail.Īs with the 2nd story, the characters continue to grow, gaining more depth, Kyle now having relationships with not just his estranged ex-partner and son, but now a real partner. The other thing with Stewart’s books is that he doesn’t just take out the side-kicks or the redshirts, main characters die as well, so you never know what is going to happen, increasing the tension of the story.Īdded to that is the detailed strategy and tactics, not just detailed in the telling of the story, but discussed by the characters on both sides, giving you a unique perspective of the battle field as these incredible conflicts unfold with such exquisite detail. It is not just the descriptions of the actual battles, the technical details and the incredible accounts of missile by missile strikes, it is the characters, their input and reactions, the sheer tension he generates as fighters and capital ships launch thousands of missiles in a desperate struggle to survive. This book has some of the best space battles not just of this series, but of a lot of series that I have read. Kyle is sent on a daring mission, whilst the newly created 7th Fleet is sent deep into Terran territory to take out their shipping. Kyle Roberts is finally put to the test in this book, as the Alliance decide to strike back, going on the offensive, they suddenly find that they have been pulled into an interesting situation, a chance to end Terran control of the Sector, but also the chance for the Terran’s to cause some major damage. This was an incredibly intense book, one that once you get into, you find that you have a hard time actually putting down with all the amazing battles, and the effect of certain outcomes. ![]() Furthermore, if I have video(s) on my iPhone that I want to edit on my, I can't just sync them via CC, much less any other service. I also wish it could directly upload a rendered video to Creative Cloud so that it appears as an asset for your CC workflow. Though trims and adjustments are nondestructive, sometimes you just change - or delete - things accidentally. The most serious omission from the product has to be undo/redo. Adobe uses Creative Cloud to sync Clips and assets in the background - they're never visible in your CC folder. Otherwise, the apps work identically, and changes made on one device cascade seamlessly to the other. ![]() In an odd turn, the app only works in landscape orientation, while the iPhone app is cramped into portrait with a tiny preview and operational panels (such as for the effects) that obscure the video. Forget about any precision it doesn't even provide basics like a time code readout or frame-by-frame navigation so that you can find the proper location for splitting or trimming. For each clip you have a slider that lets you trim from either side. Once you've got your media lined up - you can always add, delete or drag and drop clips to rearrange them - you're presented with the central workspace. Although the company just released a "preview" of its Creative Cloud app for Android, you can't upload. Note that to get the video into the app you have to operate outside Adobe's ecosystem.

She said a combination of policing issues and government policies have contributed to Black women being victimized, such as working requirements for food assistance. Geneva Brown, a professor of criminology at DePaul University, said Black women in Chicago are often targets of crime because of economic conditions that were the result of government policies. "I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not," said Geneva Brown, a professor of criminology at DePaul University. The data show the challenges faced by women in high-crime areas. Black women also accounted for 34% of 146 kidnappings and half of the 19 human-trafficking victims.īlack women were also over-indexed in non-violent crimes last year, accounting for nearly a quarter of property thefts and 28% of motor vehicle thefts, where race data is available.

"I'm still angry that the thoughts don't go away. Thomas's views on crime against Black women are personal as she is a sexual assault survivor.

Instead, I use a USB power converter, the kind that comes with a cell phone, to power the USB power cord. I found this generated a sort of "beating" electrical interference. Also I recommend you not power the unit from the USB port on your computer. I suggest you not use batteries they wear out too quickly. I did notice on a few tapes I had to adjust the channel balance, but because on most tapes is was fine, I suspect the problem was in the original recording. The transfer quality is fine, almost better than expected for the price. If you haven't set the unit's volume control just right, you will also need to use the software to maximize the volume. I use the default "manual mode" and use my editing software (I use the highly versatile Goldwave) to separate the cuts. In other cases, it clipped off the first note or two of the song before recording commenced. In many cases, it recorded multiple cuts into one file. The device includes an "auto mode" that is supposed to be able to divide the separate cuts on your tape into separate files. Better to record with the volume slightly lower than optimal and adjust it in software. Tip: Don't set the volume too high or your recording will be "clipped" and distorted. I did not discern any difference when trying to use the black + and - buttons, so I simply use the thumbwheel to control the playback volume, and this controls the volume being recorded. The second is a pair of + and - buttons among the black "convert operate buttons." I have no idea, and the manual does not explain, the difference between the two sets. One is a thumbwheel on the end of the unit next to the USB port. I needed a flashlight and a magnifying glass to make out which buttons were which.
