Home to the Arizona Cardinals Football Club (NFL), the annual Fiesta Bowl, and numerous other sports and entertainment events and activities, State Farm Stadium has garnered notable recognition in its brief history including being named 'Event Site of the Year' by Event Solutions Magazine in 2007, Best NFL Facility by Sports Business Journal and Sports Business Daily in 20, NFL's best playing surface in 2008 and Best New Venue of the 2000s by .ĭelivering a world-class experience for fans, event organizers and participants, the stadium's innovative approach to sports facility design incorporates the first retractable natural grass playing surface in North America and the first completely retractable roof operating at an incline. Designed by New York architect Peter Eisenman in partnership with HOK Sports and Hunt Construction Group, State Farm Stadium is a prime example of sophisticated engineering, technology, and design. Its products are readily purchased by consumers not only in the United States, but also in many other countries, including Russia. Perhaps this American company is the most famous manufacturer of outboard motors in the world. And the consumers of these countries are well aware of the creations of the companies, which are described below. The abundance of various reservoirs encourages the active use of all types of water transport, from simple "cauldrons" to large racing boats. John is part of a cohort of around 20 new employees with vast experience in electrification who have been hired by Brunswick over just the last six months.” Going forward, consumers can expect to start seeing a growing list of electric options from Brunswick as early as 2022 as products filter into the marketplace.According to Persistence Market Research (PMR), outboard motors are in high demand in three countries - the US, Russia and Canada (in that order). Dave Foulkes, CEO of Brunswick, said: “In this role, John will lead the enterprise technology strategy that supports our division’s delivery of electrification solutions. At Brunswick, he will collaborate with Mercury on the expansion of electric propulsion using their ACES strategy. Before moving to Brunswick, Oenick worked for 18 years on hybrid diesel engine development, electrified air intake systems, power invertor development, powertrain development, and electric drive systems with John Deere and Bombardier. Drees comments, “We also believe that Freedom Boat Club, with its centrally managed fleets and well understood use cases, is the ideal operating model to support the introduction of electric marine products." Brunswick has decided to appoint John Oenick as Director of Enterprise Electrification as a step to expand their efforts in electrification. They will be focusing on ideal electric applications, such as short-term high-speed boating or low-speed cruising. The FBC has a group of forty specialists working to accelerate electrification and autonomy initiatives. Brunswick will use the newly acquired Freedom Boat Club (FBC) to test its new electric products. Offering an eco-friendly solution for power that is capable of charging all boat accessories, the Fathom 1 system is a lithium-ion battery pack that removes the need to keep a charger on board and also eliminates the need for gas-powered generators. Mercury has been dealing with electric propulsion since the release of its Fathom 1 power management system for the Sea Ray SLX-R 400e in January 2020. It is expected that the first of the new products to launch will focus on specific criteria for electric propulsion, like low-speed cruising. During this time, they plan to have also installed 15,000 advanced battery systems to replace internal combustion engine generators. ![]() Mercury won’t be slowing down anytime soon." The five new electric outboard models set to be launched by 2023 from Mercury and their Advanced Systems Group (ASG) will be propulsion products. And we intend for Mercury to be the market leader in both conventional and electric marine propulsion by the end of that year. We’ll launch five new electric outboard models by 2023. ![]() During a discussion of the Mercury Marine’s ACES strategy (Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification, & Shared Access), which serves as a major theme and framework for the ongoing initiatives presented at Brunswick, President Chris Drees confirmed the announcement to investors on the day: "I’m really excited to announce a bold vision for the future of Mercury. Above: Three Mercury 450R gas-powered outboard engines rigged to the back of the modern 2021 Sea Ray SLX-R 400e "smart boat" - a boat that is known for having modern electrical systems and a substantial onboard battery bank. The manufacturer has confirmed five "set launch dates" for the electric outboards, with the first line of the products to be launched in 2022 (we are assuming Q3 or Q4 is when buyers should expect to see the first models). Mercury Marine recently announced that the company will start developing electric outboard motors within the next two years, with all of the planned motors available to the public market by 2023. ![]() A degree can be subdivided into 60 minutes. ![]() The kelvin (and thus Celsius) is defined based on the Boltzmann constant, k, which equals 1.380649 × 10 -23 when expressed in the unit JK -1, a unit equivalent to kgm 2 s -2 K -1.

The setting, presentation, and music are all top notch, so I think it’s worth a play through at least. The overarching story is really unique, but of particular note on the negative side is the infamous death monologue that stretches out for eight minutes. The story is fairly interesting but presented in a way that can get really cringy regardless of what language you play in. Once the battle system is fully unlocked later in the game, it’s really fun, but remains poorly balanced throughout (something the game’s devs are notorious for). The same goes for Persona if you liked 5, you're gonna enjoy 4 very much.Įternal Sonata is a strong contender for “World’s Okayest RPG” but mostly because for everything it does really well, it does something really wrong and it makes for an inconsistent experience. Speaking of PSN, Suikoden is a MUST-PLAY series. The FF13 Trilogy is pretty good-ish too, but IMO you're better off buying the PS1/PS2 Final Fantasies on the Playstation Network. ![]() Halfway through I was all "come ON already!!!" By the time I was FINALLY allowed to play, SEVENTEEN minutes had already passed, and I was all "OMG no." But then I got to actually PLAY, and I was all "this ain't half bad."Īs far as recommending the game goes? I'd give it a "play it if you're craving something a little less mainstream." It's not the BEST RPG in the PS3/360 libraries, but you won't have to look far to find far, FAR worse.Īs far as personal recommendations go, I gotta go with the Disgaea series, ESPECIALLY Disgaea 4. I started a new game recently, and the cutscenes kept coming. ![]() I don't think it's a bad game, but the appeal is definitely closer to something off-kilter like Nier or Saga games than it is to being a good RPG by 'mainstream' standards so I probably wouldn't recommend unless you're ok with artsy or off-the-wall games.Įternal Sonata is pretty fun, but good GOD are those cutscenes a chore to get through. The actual mechanics are decent enough, one of the better turn-based/action hybrid games I've played, but it definitely has points where it's not that fun to play because of the wonky balance.Īs a core RPG game, I don't rate it too highly, but it's definitely an interesting, unique experience. And the designers didn't really seem to realize that some characters are insanely OP (Viola) and some are unusably bad (Beat), so the difficulty swings from 'impossible to lose' to insanely bullshit, largely depending on what party the game is making you use. As in "some characters are literally more powerful on their own than 4 of the other characters are as an entire party" level of bad balance. The most notable thing is that it might be the worst-balanced RPG I've ever played. The setting and graphical style are very cool and it has sick music, which are probably its strongest points. In the PlayStation 3 version of Eternal Sonata, Allegretto's New Costume can be found by taking a warp from Jealousy Island back to Resentment Island.It's kinda interesting.To Coda is an instruction in music that "indicates that, upon reaching that point during the final repetition, the performer is to jump immediately to the separate section headed with the coda symbol."

This data is a common request for any investor, employee, or general company stakeholder to know if the business is growing, flat, or declining. Tracking active users is very high level, and so should be used to understand high level trends and inform whether more analysis is needed. Be careful to not use a cumulative measure as this can mask when Active Users are declining. Line charts can be used to show the number of active users over time.It is also typically helpful to include an indicator showing how much the metric has changed from the previous time period to provide more context. Single Value charts can be used to show a current snapshot of Active User counts.You can create different charts to display active users over given periods. With the right data analysis tools, visualizing active users is easy. This lack of deep investment can end up pushing users away. While this may suit your business goals, this perspective can quickly become unaligned with the users and push you to make decisions that are only focused on addictive, short-term loops and not on valuable, long-term relationships. If you know that certain activities users perform tend to bring them back to the website or app, you can use that action to define active users. In so doing, you can create a better definition for your active users, and use that to create a more valuable app. When you analyze your application, you need to identify the core features your users should come back for. While Twitter’s success can be measured by the number of new accounts created or number of logins, Twitter really thrives thanks to continuous users who make posts, comment, and share. On Twitter, you will post comments and tweets, retweet your favorites, and follow trends in your region. For example, on Instagram, you are likely to be sharing pictures, using filters, adding tags and locations, and searching for other users. Pay attention to how your feature usage varies between apps. Users stick to applications because they have irresistible features. ![]() Put yourself in your customers’ shoes by analyzing the features you enjoy from other, similar applications. To determine what signals indicate user value, here are two strategies: Be the user The point behind tracking active users is to make sure that the product or application is providing users continuing value. There are many different ways to define an active user, but the goal is always the same. The most important decision in calculating active users is defining the criteria. While it might be of interest to know whether certain users are highly active, making this kind of miscount will make your calculations of active users incorrect. User 1: is an active user (but should only be counted once)ĭouble-counting people is a common mistake if they take multiple actions.User 1: Opens the app again and presses another button.User 3: Opened the app, scrolled, swiped, and pressed a button.User 2: Opened the app and took no action.User 1: pressed a button then closed the app.The following events are recorded for a particular day:.Criteria: user performs at least one action in the app (e.g.Collect data, and sum the number of unique users who meet your active user criteria for each period of time.Determine the period of time you are interested in examining (e.g.Determine the criteria for an active user.We will walk through a simple example first and then delve into strategies for defining activity in the next section. The steps to compute active users can be deceptively simple, but can become complicated depending on how activity is defined. Monthly Active Users (MAU): The number of unique users that engage with your product within a 30-day window.Weekly Active Users (WAU): The number of unique users that interact with your product within a 7-day window.Daily Active Users (DAU): The number of unique users that interact with your product within a 24-hour window.Common time periods and their abbreviations include: All users who perform the activity criteria are counted over a set amount of time. For a website or application, activity could be defined as simply opening the site or app, require taking a specific action, or involves performing a certain number of actions.

The active users metric counts the number of unique users who engage with a web site or application within a particular period of time. Conversely, PI stained only nonmotile sperm that had lost their membrane integrity. Microscopic examination revealed that SYBR-14 stained the nuclei of living sperm bright green as determined by simultaneous examination of fluorescence and motility. ![]() SYBR-14, a newly developed fluorescent nucleic acid stain, maximally absorbs at 488 nm and emits at 518 nm when bound to DNA. The proportion of living sperm in semen from six representative mammals was assessed by means of a dual staining technique using the stains SYBR-14 and propidium iodide (PI). The results of this study indicated that components of the long-term extenders have different effects on the sperm functionality and prolonged semen longevity by delaying the processes associated with sperm ageing during liquid storage. Furthermore, the percentage of spermatozoa with NAR acrosomes decreased during prolonged storage, being markedly lower in DC-diluted semen compared with semen diluted with either AeG or SCP extender. There were not any marked differences in sperm ATP content between the extenders, regardless of the storage time. Marked differences in the proportions of spermatozoa with high MMP were observed between the extenders, particularly on Day 10 of storage. Among the four analyzed extenders, AeG and SCP showed the best performance in terms of TMOT and PMI on Days 5, 7 and 10 of storage. In all extenders the metabolic activity and membrane integrity of the stored spermatozoa decreased continuously over time. Furthermore, the storage time had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the sperm metabolic activity and membrane integrity during semen storage. Extender type was a significant (P < 0.05) source of variation in all the analyzed sperm parameters, except for ATP content. Parameters of the analyzed sperm metabolic activity included total motility (TMOT), progressive motility (PMOT), high mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP content, whereas those of the membrane integrity included plasma membrane integrity (PMI) and normal apical ridge (NAR) acrosome. Boar semen was diluted with Androhep EnduraGuard (AeG), DILU-Cell (DC), SafeCell Plus (SCP) and Vitasem LD (VLD) extenders and stored for 10 days at 17 degrees C. This study was aimed to analyze the metabolic activity and membrane integrity of boar spermatozoa following storage in long-term semen extenders. It can be suggested that the type of extender and storage temperature, used prior to freezing, have a significant effect on the sperm cryo-tolerance. The results of this study indicated that protection against cryo-induced sperm damage was most prominent in the AHP-extended semen. Significantly higher (P < 0.05) percentages of membrane-intact frozen-thawed spermatozoa were observed in both the AHP and ASP extenders compared with those stored in the TCP extender. Furthermore, samples stored in AHP extender at 17 ☌ or 10 ☌, prior to freezing, exhibited significantly higher (P 0.05) were observed in ALH values among the extenders, regardless of the storage period. There were no marked significant differences (P > 0.05) either in the sperm motion parameters or the percentage of spermatozoa with intact membrane between samples stored at 17 ☌ and 10 ☌ prior to freezing, irrespective of the extender type. ANOVA results showed that differences in extender type and storage temperature (extender type × storage period) did not have any significant effect (P > 0.05) on the analyzed sperm parameters following freezing-thawing. ![]() Sperm plasma membrane integrity was assessed by dual staining with SYBR-14 and propidium iodide (SYBR-14/PI assay). Sperm motion parameters, analysed by the computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) system (HTR-IVOS 12.3, Hamilton Thorne Biosciences), included total motility (TMOT), progressive motility (PMOT), velocity average pathway (VAP), velocity straight line (VSL), velocity curvilinear (VCL) and mean amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH). After each storage period the extended semen was subjected to quality assessment and then frozen in an extender consisting of 5% lyophilized lipoprotein fractions of ostrich egg yolk (LPFo), 11% lactose, 3% glycerol and 0.5% Equex STM. The extended semen was stored for 2h at 17 ☌ and then for 24h at 10 ☌ prior to freezing. ![]() Sperm rich fractions, collected from 3 boars, were diluted in 4 extenders: Androhep® Plus (AHP), Androstar® Plus, ASP (Minitübe, Germany), Safecell® Plus, SCP (IMV Technologies, France) and TRIXcell® Plus, TCP (IMV Technologies, France). This study investigated the effects of cooling of boar semen in different extenders at 17 ☌ or 10 ☌ on motion parameters and plasma membrane integrity of spermatozoa following freezing-thawing. The success of boar semen cryopreservation is dependent on many factors, such as the type of extender and storage temperature used prior to freezing. |
