![]() ![]() The benefits that you get from our wastewater treatment products are unmatched in terms of cost and operating advantages. Irrespective of where you live, we assure you that you can always find a wastewater solution, among our products. Our Rainwater Tanks are also a great source of storing good quality water for the drier months, when water becomes scarce. We also have Septic Tanks and Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems. We supply AWTS or Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems and Residential Grey Water Treatment Systems. We design and supply residential and commercial wastewater treatment plants and you can choose from a wide variety of options that will suit your needs. ![]() We have highly qualified and skilled engineers, who use world-class technologies, to deliver quality and reliable wastewater treatment systems, including pump wells. Therefore, leave it to us we will make sure your systems are always working when you need them.ĮCO-SEPTIC is a major provider of sewage treatment technologies throughout Australia. Pumping must be reliable, safe, and pumps need to be well maintained, overflows and spills can do heavy damage to the environment. Wastewater is not easy to transport and manage, when there is too much organic solids, rags and other matter and it can really become a challenge for wastewater pumps. ![]() To help you make a choice of the what pump well you need, we consider the normal fluctuations from the sewage system and the maximum inflow during a storm. These are commonly used in most wastewater networks. Our pump wells are engineered to handle the wastewater flow on a day to day basis, as well as the surface runoff and the storm water. In fact, we have a range of risers from size 10 mm to 300 mm, to match the invert of your pipes that carry off the liquid waste. The difference lies in the capacity and you may need a riser for this model. It is engineered to work with sewerage, grey water or storm water. You can purchase the Econo500, even without your specified pump.Įcono1000 is designed the same way, as the Econo500. Generally, you may not need a riser for this pump well because the inlet and outlet positions can be adjusted as required, by the situation and they are fitted to suit the depth of your pipes. It comes with either a light or heavy-duty lid. Wimmera Wastewater Treatment – Western RegionĮCO-SEPTIC offers the 500 and the 1000 litre capacity pump wells, which are the minimum requirements for the supplied to Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania areas.Įcono500 is designed to work with treatments of sewerage, grey water or storm water. ![]() Superior Plumbing Group – Melbourne & Surrounds.Amtec Plumbing – South West Inner Region.Donohue Plumbing South East Inner Region.T & S Plumbing and Excavation P/L – South East Outer Region.Central Septics Castlemaine – Central Western Region.Outstanding Plumbing – Taree / Forster – Tuncurry region.Macquarie Valley Wastewater Services – Dubbo – Central West Region.H2O Septic Services – Central West Region.Graham’s Precast Concrete Products – QLD & NSW Region.All Septic Services – Newcastle and Hunter Region.In fact, the system had been planned four years previously, in response to the cholera crisis, but it was the Great Stink that gave the impetus to pass an enabling Act. With a system of interconnecting sewers both North and South of the river connecting to the growing suburbs, the Thames was finally tamed. While John Snow had traced an outbreak in Soho to a water pump, many still believed in theories about miasma – that the source of illness was in the air.Īgainst this background, Joseph Bazalgette was given the go-ahead to build the sewer system that finally made London a really modern city. Cholera raged across London, killing three times as many as in areas with cleaner water. With a river soaked in effluent, the stench back then came from outside the House of Commons rather than inside. We’ll be stumbling through the demands for PR after this year’s election for a while yet, but spare a thought for the politicians of 1858 who had to endure The Great Stink. Geek's Guide to Britain At various times in the history of the UK, there’s been a massive stink at Westminster, accompanied by demands that “something must be done”. ![]() ![]() Is there any sort of mixer and/or software that will allow me to record multiple tracks/channels simultaneously but keep them individual? Preferably something affordable because i am cheap. That would be time consuming, I prefer to record the 3 audio sources simultaneously to save time, and because its an improv show, thats just how the ideas come. The only solution i can think of is to record each thing individually, first the beats, then the keyboard melodies, then the vocals. ![]() When I record the 2 keyboards and vocals simultaneously its all on one track, for the most part it sounds ok, but sometimes when reviewing my recordings later, i wish i could re-record just the vocals and keep the keyboards, but of course I can't delete just the vocals cause they're all on one track. So I basically have 3 audio inputs going to a cheap mixer going into my laptop, recording with audacity of course. On Mac and Linux it is possible to record more than two tracks at the same time with Audacity Multi-channel Recording. If the signal level is very low, it may not be visible in Audacity until you amplify / normalize it (“Amplify” or “Normalize” effects).I started doing a "podcast" where i play 2 keyboards and sing/talk simultaneously. Unfortunately some multi-channel devices use multiple 2 channel drivers. As far as Audacity is concerned, if that device has 12 channels then Audacity will allow you to record all 12 channels onto separate tracks. Again, one should connect to the tip, and the other to the ring, with the sleeve as common ground. Audacity is only able to access one recording device at a time. If that all sounds too complex, then you could try just connecting the piezo transducers to the stereo mini-jack plug via 500 Ohm resistors. For safety (so that you don’t blow up the sound card, you should place DC blocking capacitors between the op amp output and the jack plug, and start with a low value of R2. The sleeve of the mini-jack would connect to common ground. To connect the outputs to a standard computer “line in”, the output of one op amp would connect to the tip of a stereo mini-jack, and the output of the other op amp would connect to the ring. For single rail supply, use a voltage divider between vcc and vee. R2 sets the gain - higher values give higher gain.įor a split rail supply, vref would simply be grounded. R1 would be a high value to provide high input impedance. ![]() A suitable (and cheap) Op Amp would be “TL051” or similar (TL052 for two channels in one chip). As a starting point, choose components to give an input impedance of 10 MOhms. I don’t know what level of electronic experience you have, but a good way to interface piezo transducers with the “Line” input of a sound card is to use a simple JFet Op Amp buffer. Ideally the input impedance should be 1 MOhm or more. pacmd load-module module-null-sink sinknameVirtual1 scriptionVirtual-Sound-Card pactl load-module module-loopback sinkVirtual1 pactl load-module module-loopback. If you connect a piezo to a low impedance (Low Z) input, the signal level will be extremely small. First create a sink to be used as a virtual sound card, and add two loopbacks into it, which will be used to route the real sound card's input and output. The impedance (“resistance”) of the input that the transducer is connected to is therefore very important. Piezo devices produce extremely low current, but relatively high voltage. The number of different settings for recording is somewhat daunting, reflecting the many options for recording. This selects the particular interface with which Audacity communicates with your chosen recording and playback devices. When you click you hear the tracks mixed together, that is, all the tracks at the same time. Choose your preferred Audio Host, Recording Device and Playback Device from the dropdown menus. You can record into these tracks, or generate sound into them using the Generate menu. These new tracks 'stack up' one above the other. So I presume that you are able to solder up your own leads to connect your “sensors” to the sound card? You can add new empty tracks using the edit menu: Click on the image to learn more. ![]() One causes a shock that one piezo sensor registers and another one retrieves further in a material: the propagation time of the wave in the material is measured. The aim is to measure the propagation speed of waves in different media for geology. ![]() ![]() Like all predominately online, 4chan-bred communities, there is a lot of obscure jargon used in common discussion. Some posts give a pretty obvious view into the mentality of incel culture, with titles like, “Feminists bitch about toxic masculinity and white privilege while only wanting 6’5”, white, broad-shouldered men,” and “No woman will ever love you, nor befriend you.” At the time, the group had around 40,000 members.Ī new, slightly more mild subreddit called r/braincels has popped up in its place at time of writing it had nearly 20,000 subscribers. In late 2017, Reddit banned the subreddit r/Incels for inciting violence, thus breaking with Reddit’s updated content policy. Occasionally, that rhetoric appears to cross over to real world acts of violence, like Minassian’s Toronto attack.īut predominately, the incel community is an online space, gathering on forum sites like 4chan, Reddit, and the now defunct. It’s a misogyny-driven ideology that’s becoming known for its hostility and violent rhetoric directed at women - and other men, for that matter. If anything, they're Agent Smith-and truth is how good people beat them.By now you likely know that incel stands for “involuntary celibate”, a term used by an online community of men who believe they’ve been denied sex and affection from women something that they believe they inherently deserve. Why let trolls' misguided self-glorification ruin a perfectly good concept? Come on, those guys aren't Morpheus. You're absolutely right, Emily: Calling yourself "red pilled" is now in very poor taste.īut to me, the unfortunate context the red pill has acquired since The Matrix's release doesn't keep it from being the right choice. Sounds ridiculous (and it is), but this reading of Neo's choice is so widespread that it's made its way to some very unlikely places-like Kanye West's Twitter account. To those guys, "red pilling" somebody means opening their eyes to a particular brand of persecution-complexed "conservatism"-convincing an initiate that they're under attack by hateful progressive women/minorities/billionaires/countries that are bent on destroying them. Online, the red pill has become an emblem of misogyny and white supremacy because bigots mistake their own prejudices for inconvenient truths. I know probably better than most that picking the red pill puts me in bad company. But also, I learned valuable stuff-terrible glimpses into the United States' fractured soul, misinformation and propaganda networks-in my time there. Without question, being constantly buffeted by online toxicity has made me a more cynical, more anxious person. And If I could blue pill away all my lurking in the internet's worst corners, I'd seriously consider it. But recognizing that you still have to work within the system in order to create systemic change is part of being someone who favors the red pill.Įllis: OK, that made me laugh. That continued dependency is deeply unpleasant, way less glamorous than dodging bullets or suddenly knowing kung fu, and somebody under the influence of the system might come along and rip out your brainstem. Their knowledge gives them the power to navigate the Matrix, and, at times, bend it to their will, but while they're inside, they're still shackled to a chair by their headjacks, the same technology that used to be the primary tool of their enslavement. ![]() In a way, I think Neo and company model the way good, thoughtful people are forced to operate within a bad system even after they're awake to its faults. I think you're onto something with uncoupling knowledge from freedom, though. Imagining a world without them, or considering their efforts useless, is bleak enough to make me want to reach for that blue pill. That doesn't exist in the real world, but empathetic, lifelong learners, people who acknowledge their own inevitable ignorance and strive to reduce it, do. If we take Morpheus at his word, the red pill, in all its science fiction glory, is a sweeping dose of unalloyed truth-something akin to a complete education. To me, problems like brilliant Nobel Prize winners somehow missing that they, and the institution that honored them, are wildly sexist are issues of people feeling that their education is somehow complete as-is. Those betrayals might shake your faith in activism or institutions, but I don't think individual failings mean that the pursuit of knowledge is a doomed exercise. ![]() ![]() ![]() Emma Grey Ellis: Hang on, Emily, are you saying that knowledge and truth actually aren't power? I hear you on the oversimplification-anybody who's ever been milkshake ducked knows the pain of rooting for something or someone who seems good and righteous, but winds up being deeply flawed. ![]() ![]() To exit the Emoji panel, press Esc.Įmojis became popular initially on Japanese mobile phones in the late 1990s. Press Enter to paste the selected emoji into the text field. Use the Shift + Tab shortcut keys to return to the previous emoji category. Use the Arrow keys to scroll through the emoji list.It can be a web page, a messenger, or some text editor app. Open an app where you want to insert emoji.To enter Emoji using the keyboard in Windows 10, do the following. The Emoji Panel on the touch keyboard can now be accessed using a keyboard shortcut (hotkey). Starting with Windows 10 build 16215, Microsoft has simplified the process of entering and finding emoji using the physical keyboard connected to your computer. Android, iOS and Windows starting with Windows 8 can render emojis via Unicode fonts. They are supported by tons of apps on mobile platforms natively although in Windows Desktop apps, color emoji support is rare unless the app supports DirectWrite. "Emojis", are usually implemented in Unicode fonts and sometimes as images. Initially, they were implemented by static images and animated GIFs for web pages and instant messaging apps mostly. ![]() I've posted an article about the four current color font proposals and their browser support for those interested.Advertisеment Emojis are smileys and ideograms used in apps, mostly in chats and instant messengers. This allows for SVG to the be used in OpenType, including all SVG features like gradients, bitmaps and even animation! Image wanting to change all those variables from CSS. The base color of an emoji is yellow, but you have blue sweat drops, red tongues, orange blush, a gray mouse, a purple-and-pink guitar.Įven more complex is another implementation for color fonts, by Adobe and Mozilla. An emoji (or typeface) could have a huge set of colors, so this could get messy. In the realm of the web, an addition to the CSS spec is necessary to allow for color changes. You're stuck with the colors the artist chose (unless you're willing to hack the font with something like TTX/Fonttools.) Similar to how, for instance, Adobe Illustrator lets you choose if you want to use a font's ligatures, it could let you choose between using the font's custom colors or overrule them with your own color set.Īt this early stage in OpenType color fonts, I don't know of any software that does this, though.

Now I need to think about how unprofessional it will be to include Emoji in all my work email. It doesn't seem like Window's built in CharMap.exe supports newer Unicode 7 (?) but BabelMap is a fantastic Extended Character Map that will let you explore all of your choices in a font like Segoe UI Emoji. NOTE: I have NO idea what I'm talking about here, just thinking out loud. I wonder if a layering system like this would be way to create infinitely diverse emoji? There's lots of quasi-Emoji chat apps on all phones with afrocentric or other kinds of emojis. "Diversified Emoji" is a big topic right now, as not everyone wants a yellow LEGO head. I'm going to hack around and see if I can change the color of each individual layers. Instead, they are layered and each layer has a color. The Emoji in Windows 8.1 are inside of the Segoe UI Emoji font, and are NOT PNGs (as on other systems) which allows them to scale. ![]() I've taken part of his image below to show one of the main points of his articles. There's an amazing article by Ralf Herrmann on Color Emoji in Windows 8.1-The Future of Color Fonts? that I recommend you read immediately. I've zoomed in on IE to show that the font scales. Here is the GetEmoji site with Chrome on the left and IE11 on the right. ALL the Emoji are there.Īlso noticed that Emoji are in COLOR in Internet Explorer. It's important to note the Arrows on the left there, as well as the categories on the bottom. Right click in the Taskbar and make sure you have the Touch Keyboard checked: Perhaps you think Emoji are silly? Did you know that Twitter actually makes sure Emoji work in all browsers by swapping them out for their own Twitter-custom images? The people LOVE them some Emoji. ![]() Windows 8 has an on-screen keyboard that you can use to type Emoji, even if you use a regular keyboard and mouse. Today you can use Emoji pretty much anywhere, be it mobile or on the web with most modern browsers. I have an iPhone 5s and every once in a while my wife and would be texting and I would send her a and she would be like "why you sending me a square?"
