![]() The rest heat is dumped in the cold sink, generating a lot of entropy. Some of this energy is converted to work, which has no effect on the entropy. Remember the steam engine from the eighteenth century? Energy leaves the hot source as heat, reducing its entropy (a sneeze in a loud street). This bring us back to Clausius’ statement from our previous blog. A sneeze in a quiet library will be much louder than the same sneeze in a busy street, although a similar amount of energy is released. To grasp this, I would like to use the analogy of the sneeze. Wherever order emerges, we must lift the curtain and see greater disorder being produced elsewhere. To resolve this paradox, you need to understand that change is not an island of activity in itself. In all seasons we see babies being born, cities built out of sand, wood and dust. If the state of everything we know is degenerating, even on a cosmic scale, why do we see so much ‘order’ in our everyday life? Come the spring, plants will grow and young leaves sprout out of trees. It is the rise in disorder of all the energy and matter in the universe. So, entropy is not something physical which is added to the universe. The greater the disorder, the greater the entropy. The molecules have turned from an orderly state (solid) into a disorderly state (gas).Īt the end of the nineteenth-century Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann showed that entropy is a measure of disorder. This leaves more space in between the molecules and occupies a much larger volume. Turn up the heat and the liquid becomes a gas composed of molecules that fly on a collision course and bounce off each other. As the liquid flows, the atoms too start to get livelier. Molecules let go of the grid and start wobbling over each other. When the temperature rises the solid becomes a liquid. Each molecule fits neatly into the grid and – except for some freely floating electrons – nothing moves. Part three: the way the universe will end Disorder on a molecular scaleīehold the molecules of solid body, a huge wall tightly packed together. Part one: a simple definition Part two: birth of the Second Law What is the effect of this on our everyday lives? To better understand let’s zoom in on the molecular basis of matter. One of the rules about entropy is that it cannot decrease. Where q is the heat transferred in joules and ΔT is the change in temperature in Kelvin.What is Entropy? Part 3 the way the universe will endĮver wondered why heat never flows from cold to hot? Why we can never create a machine with 100% efficiency or how we know our past but not our future? It all has to do with an elusive concept called entropy. If there are 2 moles of reactant forming 1 mole of product, the number of states possible decreases and entropy decreases, likewise, if 1 mole of reactant forms 2 moles of product, the entropy increases.Įntropy can be calculated using the equation ![]() Example of increasing entropy: Ice melting in a warm room is a common example of increasing entropy. If a substance goes from a liquid to a solid, the molecules in the system occupy a lower number of states (think about the decrease of molecule activity in water when it freezes to ice) and therefore the entropy decreases if a substance goes from a solid to a liquid, the entropy increases. ![]() ![]() When considering whether reactions have an increase or decrease in entropy, two factors are important: The number of moles created and states of the reactants versus the products. Liquids can be considered the second most disordered, and solids can be considered the least disordered. Because molecules in gases are able to change both volume and shape, they can be considered the most disordered. We can think of the degrees of the number of different states the molecules in each can occupy. Solids, liquids, and gasses all have different degrees of disorder. The concept of disorder can best be described in terms of the states of matter. The unit of entropy is Joules per Kelvin or J/K.Įntropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and can is the energy of a system over its temperature, represented as J/K. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy (or disorder) of a system is constantly increasing.

![]() Previously, you could use up to five HomeKit cameras with a 2 TB iCloud storage plan. The Home app itself hasn’t changed appreciably, but iCloud+ has increased the number of cameras that can be monitored in the app at each service level. ICloud+ is a rebranding of Apple’s iCloud service that adds new HomeKit, security, and privacy features. Apple has also made the ‘hello’ screensaver that debuted on the M1 iMac available to all Mac users in Monterey. This year, the new Desktop picture is a stylized rendition of the Monterey landscape that comes in light and dark modes, as well as a dynamic variant that changes throughout the day. New Desktop Pictures and Screen SaversĮvery update to macOS brings new Desktop pictures, and this year is no different. It’s going to take some getting used to, but I plan to spend more time in Split View this fall to see if it’s something that could improve some of my existing workflows. I’ve never been a big user of Split View on the Mac, but a big part of that has been because of previous limitations. The feature acknowledges that two apps are often not enough, making it far easier to swap apps in and out of a pair as needed. The new method of swapping in a Split View app reminds me of creating Split View pairs on an iPad. Also, if losing access to your menu bar in Full Screen mode has bothered you in the past, there’s now an option to display the menu bar even when you’re in Full Screen Mode, which you’ll find in the Dock & Menu Bar section of System Preferences. Hovering over the same button has the added option to move an app in Split View to Full Screen instead. If you’re in Split View and want to change one of the two apps, hover over the green stoplight button in the top left corner and pick the option “Replace Tiled Window.” That will allow you to pick any other open app to swap into the Split View. Picking an app to add to the left of a Split View.Īpple has vastly improved Split View on the Mac by making it easier to swap app pairs. The setting is available in the Battery section of System Preferences. I’ve been testing Monterey on an iMac, so I don’t have first-hand experience with the battery savings Low Power Mode will provide yet, but Low Power Mode promises to extend how long your Mac laptop can last on a single charge by lowering screen brightness and reducing the CPU’s clock speed. Mac users have asked for a Low Power Mode for laptops for quite some time, and with Monterey, it’s now available. This isn’t the sort of feature you’ll use often, but if you ever want to trade a Mac in to Apple, sell it, or give it to someone else, Erase All Content and Settings, which is available from the System Preferences menu, should provide you with the peace of mind that your old Mac has been wiped clean and in a state where it can be set up as new by someone else. With Monterey, the equivalent functionality is available on the Mac for the first time. An out-of-warranty battery replacement for an SE costs $50, which I consider to be quite reasonable.Whenever you sell an iPhone or iPad, it’s easy to erase them, eliminating all of your apps and personal data, leaving only the operating system in place. ![]() ![]() If you plan on continuing to use this phone (I don’t know about that, since you said you just got a new 13 mini), then I would recommend paying Apple for a battery replacement. I would ignore the 91% health indicator - that number doesn’t seem to mean anything useful. I think you’ve been running on borrowed time long before this update if you’ve got a 6 year old battery. If you have never had the battery replaced, then I suspect you’ve hit the second of my cases.
![]() ![]() Once the Mac version of Pages is associated with your Apple ID, you'll then be able to follow the first procedure explained earlier for your Mac running macOS Catalina. In both cases, you'll then need to open the Mac App Store, sign in with your Apple ID, search for Pages then click on the "Get" button. If your current Mac is stuck at macOS Catalina, then you could create a secondary user account on a family member's or friend's Mac running at least macOS 11 Big Sur. If your current Mac is compatible with macOS Big Sur, then you could install macOS Big Sur on an external SSD connected to your Mac ( see this article from MacWorld) ![]() If you've never downloaded the Mac version of Pages with your Apple ID, then you have two main options: You'll see a message telling you that the latest version is incompatible so it will download and install a previous yet compatible version. Locate Pages and initiate the download from there. This will give you access to the "Purchased" pane. You’ll get beta versions of the Catalina updates.Provided that you already downloaded Pages from the Mac App Store in the past, here's how to do it: You can continue to participate in the beta program after the Catalina golden master has been released. It’s it’s a 32-bit app, you need to find an update, find another app to use, or put off the upgrade to Catalina. If you have an app that’s absolutely vital to your work, check to see if it’s a 64-bit app or not. If your software is up-to-date, you’re probably using 64-bit versions. If you have a really old app that you use and it hasn’t been updated in a while, there’s a chance it could be a 32-bit app that won’t run in Catalina. (32- and 64-bit have to do with the linear address space an apps uses, the amount of RAM an app can use, and other characteristics.) One of the major changes in macOS Catalina is that software must be 64-bit in order to run. What’s the deal with 32-bit and 64-bit apps and macOS Catalina? The TV app is where you’ll find your movies and TV shows now. At the 2019 WWDC, Apple addressed this as Project Catalyst, and we’ll start to see on the Mac more Apple and third-party apps that started out on the iPad. At its 2018 Worldwide Developers Conference, AppleĪnnounced that it was giving software developers the tools to bring their iOS apps to the Mac. This is what Project Catalyst is all about. What’s all this stuff about iPad apps running on the Mac? Enhanced support for international languages.The ability to restore macOS from a snapshot.QuickTime Player has improved Picture-in-Picture, Movie Inspector, and more.Better tools for managing your Apple account.The features listed above are the ones that will get the most attention, but there are a lot of other features in Catalina that you’ll find useful. What other macOS Catalina features should I know about? Sidecar, for using an iPad as an external display.A new Find My app that combines the features of Find My iPhone and Find My Friends.Three new features in Apple Mail: mute a thread, block a sender, and unsubscribe.Music, Podcasts, and Apple TV apps that replace the iTunes app.Project Catalyst: iPad apps that have been brought over to the Mac.Here’s a quick list of some of the new features and apps. Performance has been improved and usability has been increased. There are a few new apps, and several other apps with major new features and UI revisions. ![]() The new Music app will hold all of your playlists and songs.Ĭatalina has more major new features than we’ve seen in past macOS upgrades. ![]() "Something that's posing as meatloaf I think." Kitty answered. "What's on the menu today?" Ember asked walking up to her. Kathrin was waiting for her at the cafeteria entrance. Ember left and headed straight for the cafeteria. "And don't forget to read chapter three class-test next week!" Reminded her English teacher. "Yet another abnormal Tuesday morning at the Mclain Asylum…" Ember thought. Ember scoffed and left without another word. She gave her Mom a hug, her Dad and sister kiss on the cheek, and just before she left, Emily stuck out her tongue once more. She could get there by foot in ten, which gave her twenty to spend some time with her friends before school. "I hate parents…" After breakfast, Ember grabbed her backpack and purse. "Your name is Emberline whether you like it or not, I don't mind you calling yourself Ember, but I will not tolerate you raising your voice at your sister at my table! Understand?!" "Yeah…" Ember said. ![]() Mclain shouted abruptly as he slammed his paper down. "EMBERLINE MARRISA MCLAIN THAT IS ENOUGH!" Mr. "Say my name! Say it right!" Ember persisted. "Say what?" Emily asked acting oblivious. "Because I said so, now say it!" Ember demanded again. "Will you two PLEASE do something!?" Ember demanded. "I forgive you, Emberliiiine." Emily teased again. There, happy?" Ember apologized unconvincingly. "You're different, and I'm not apologizing." "Fine, if you won't apologize, you can forget about getting a new guitar for your birthday." Mrs. "I call you Emberline and you don't seem to mind." Her father replied. "You know I hate being called Emberline, talk to her not me!" Ember protested. "Emberline Mclain! Apologize to Emily, right now." Mr. "I hope you choke on it." Ember said quietly. Eat quickly it's almost time to go." Emily stuck her tongue out. "And be nice to your sister." Her mother added sternly. Mclain told her momentarily putting his paper down. Mclain greeted, putting her plate in front of her daughter. "Morning, Daddy! Morning, Mommy!" She said. As he sat at the kitchen table eating his breakfast while reading the paper, Ember's 7 year old sister Emily came down and joined him. He had red hair that had begun to thin and grey with age, along with a small, semi-thin mustache. Although Ember bore more of a resemblance toward her mother, there was no question that Thomas was Ember's father. Thomas Mclain was a middle aged man in his mid-forties. Years later, when Johnny came into the picture, she gained the nickname "Em", an even shorter version of her already shortened name. ![]() From that day on there was only one person in her life that she allowed to call her by her full first name, and that was her father, but he only called her by first name on a rare occasion, usually when she got into trouble. She said "Ember" sounded much prettier than "Emberline", and Ember agreed. It was Kathrin who called her Ember for the first time when they met in the third grade. Ember hated the longer version of her first name. She was named after her Great Aunt Emberline on her mother's side that had died only three months before Ember was born. Her full name was Emberline Marissa Mclain. "My name is Ember…and I'll have two eggs please." "Whoa, sorry…somebody's grouchy this morning." Mrs. "Morning Emberline, one egg or two?" Her mother asked. Ember entered the kitchen to find her mother, Clair Mclain, making breakfast. ![]() The smell of eggs and bacon filled the air as she went down the stairs. She shook it off, got out of bed, and got ready for the day. It wasn't real…what was that awful scream?" She thought. It wasn't real You're okay, it wasn't real. She felt her face and ran her fingers through. She felt her heart, which was pounding beyond belief. Ember woke with a jolt and a scream of her own. To Ember's horror, she realized it was the dying scream of a life being extinguished before it even had a chance to begin. At first, Ember thought it came from her, but she realized that the bone chilling noise was not her. It was the most awful sound she had ever heard. Ember collapsed onto the floor, the flames now eating away at her body. She cried out in pain as the relentless flames roared with anger. The relentless flames caught onto her hair, seared her flesh, and burned her body. She realized she was now in her room, and the flames were still approaching her. The flames kept moving toward her, and ember kept backing up to avoid them. "Wh-What the-what's going on!?" Ember said. Zack kept moving until he was out of sight and reach. She couldn't keep up, and eventually stopped to catch her breath. She tried to run after him, but, Zack kept moving backwards. "Hey-where are you going? Zack-wait up!" Ember called. He still said nothing, but this time, started to glide backwards. "Hey, Zack! Remember me? I met you yesterday!" Ember called. Ahead of her stood Zack, the boy she only met yesterday. While avionics will continue to benefit from the L1 frequency, the additional L5 frequency will provide robustness against radiofrequency interference on L1 or L5 frequencies. In the case of EGNOS, the potential use of satellites in Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) can allow for better coverage in northern latitudes, increased availability for EGNOS supported approaches and thus more accessible European airports. While the current SBASs can only correct GPS and GLONASS signals, the DFMC SBAS concept will enable signal corrections from multiple GNSS constellations and will have the ability to capture signals from 92 satellites simultaneously.ĭMFC SBASs will also enable the use of non-Geostationary satellites for sending signal corrections. Four of the global SBAS plan to upgrade their services to support multiple frequency bands and multiple constellations in the years to come. With multi-constellation becoming the norm, the GNSS industry is now witnessing a shift towards the adoption of multi-frequency. Watch This: EGNOS Cases: Lanzarote DFMC SBAS & aviation: opening up new possibilities for air transportation The EGNOS Programme contributions to the definition of this new standard has been enabled through joint efforts of the European Commission, GSA, ESA and European industry. "We’re also very proud to have contributed to the standardization, by initiating projects EDG☮ and MUGG aimed at prototyping GPS and Galileo SBAS receivers, and already driving the EGNOS programme on its way to implement this new DFMC SBAS standard through the development of EGNOS V3." confirmed Jean-Marc Pieplu, Head of the EGNOS Services Department at the GSA.

Throughout history, the definition and characteristics of an epic have evolved to encompass different forms and contexts. In India, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana are epic poems that delve into the lives and exploits of various heroes and gods. In Greece, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are renowned epics that chronicle the Trojan War and the adventures of Odysseus, respectively. In Mesopotamia, the Epic of Gilgamesh, considered one of the earliest surviving examples of epic literature, tells the story of a hero’s quest for immortality. Historically, the concept of the epic can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Greece, and India. Epics are known for their vast scope, intricate plots, and the inclusion of supernatural elements or divine intervention. It often showcases grandeur, bravery, and extraordinary events that shape the destiny of nations or entire civilizations. Definition Of EpicĪn epic is a literary genre that typically encompasses a long narrative poem or a work of prose, depicting heroic deeds and adventures of legendary or mythological figures. Now that we have a basic understanding of “epic” and its origins, let’s explore some examples that demonstrate its proper usage. ![]() Whether you’re describing a thrilling adventure, an impressive achievement, or a remarkable piece of art, “epic” can help elevate your language and captivate your audience. When using “epic” in a sentence, it is crucial to consider the context and ensure that it aligns with the intended meaning. It is derived from the Greek word “epikos,” meaning “fit for a narrative poem.” This origin gives “epic” a connotation of grandness and heroism, making it an ideal choice when describing extraordinary or monumental events. So, how exactly should one use “epic” in a sentence? Let’s delve into the intricacies of this word and discover its true potential.īefore we dive into the specifics, it’s important to note that “epic” is primarily an adjective. In this article, we will explore the proper way to use “epic” in a sentence, providing you with examples and insights that will help you wield this word with precision and impact. This powerful adjective has a rich history and can be used in various contexts to convey a sense of awe and magnitude. Breaking initiatives into epics helps keep the team’s daily work - expressed in smaller stories - connected to overall business goals.Ī set of completed epics drives a specific initiative, which keeps the overall product developing and evolving with market and customer demands on top of organizational themes.įrom our example above, a theme would be increasing space shuttle launches, the roadmap would track towards increasing launches from 3 per quarter to 4, the initiatives would be to drive down costs and increase ticket sales, and each epic would roll up into the initiatives.Using the word “epic” in a sentence can add a touch of grandeur and excitement to your writing.The product roadmap is expressed and visualized as a set of initiatives plotted along a timeline.A theme is an organization goal that drive the creation of epics and initiatives.A product roadmap is a plan of action for how a product or solution will evolve over time.However, understanding how an epic relates to other agile structures provides important context for the daily dev work. From a practical perspective, it’s the top-tier of their work hierarchy. Learning how epics relate to healthy agile and DevOps best practices is an essential skill no matter the size of your organization.Īn epic should give the development team everything they need to be successful. Maintaining agility when organizing large tasks, like epics, is no small task (pun intended). Epics help teams break their work down, while continuing to work towards a bigger goal. The idea is to break work down into shippable pieces so that large projects can actually get done and you can continue to ship value to your customers on a regular basis. ![]() ![]() When adopting agile and DevOps, an epic serves to manage tasks. It's a defined body of work that is segmented into specific tasks (called “stories,” or “user stories”) based on the needs/requests of customers or end-users.Įpics are a helpful way to organize your work and to create a hierarchy. Epics are an important practice for agile and DevOps teams. Summary: An agile epic is a body of work that can be broken down into specific tasks (called user stories) based on the needs/requests of customers or end-users. |
