Reviews chevy equinox 201511/7/2023 "My device is paired, but sometimes it jumps from Chevrolet to the iPhone speaker intermittently. "I couldn't get it to pair with my daughters i-phone. "Had to repair one of the phones more than once" "Indicator light does not come on when phone is paired" "Simply losing the connection and have to go thru' the installation again" The dealer wondered if it's actually an issue with my phone more than an issue with the car system. It only happens periodically with no particular situation causing it. The dealer is unable to make it happen when they have the car so it hasn't been fixed. "The phone connects to the car, then when attempting to use voice control to make a call, it complete disconnects. Takes along time for nav system to boot up" "Nav system has been replaced but continues to have the same problem where the map will highlight the direction to turn left but the voice command would tell you to go right. The response Sirius gave was that the car's GPS was to blame" This has failed on three separate occasions. "The ONE feature I use most, included in the Sirius subscription, is the gas station & price finder. "Does not shut off radio speaker when speaking navigation instructions" The communications unit was replaced at no charge both times" "The car's communications unit has failed twice in the 7 months I've owned the car, rendering the navigation, OnStar, and remote start systems inoperable, as well as the in-dash compass. "GPS does not know where we are, often paints the car on the wrong street and gives stupid directions. They can not replicate the failures, ie turn when there is none and gets lost and off road at times." All they do at the dealer is tell me the GPS system works. "Believe the computer experiences intermittent failures with the GPS. "The Navigation System in the center of the dash at the center stack and HVAC system controls stopped communicating with the Driver Information Center." "Vehicle was equipped with Navigation but there was no satellite reception and it always show the car located at Detroit plant address." when I am using pandora or iPhone and try to with between songs, sometimes it jumps to another source or gets hung up in a paused state" "When I plug in my iPhone it automatically jumps to pandora, when I switch the source, it continues to jump back to pandora or iPod setting. "Static noise comes thru speakers when a MP3 is connected thru aux input" "Randomly goes blank while driving and re boots on its own"Įxternal music device interface (e.g., smart phone, MP3 player) "Lost radio and display, replaced under warranty" THey finally got it fixed but it took several times" The screen would just re-boot while driving especially while using the navigation. "I had it in for this problem several times. It hasn't done it again since, the dealer is baffled why it's happening." The system was replaced once but it did it again after replacement. "The complete system would go black and shut down. "If Bluetooth is on, radio will freeze, not allowing you to answer the phone or even turn the radio volume down to then answer the phone without Bluetooth" "Display freezes or gets stuck on rear view camera. "It dims for no reason making GPS difficult to see" display screen, therefore making it difficult at best to read while driving" "There is no way to adjust the size of the font on the nav.

Dose of trazodone for insomnia11/7/2023 Insomnia is a sleep disorder that makes it hard for people to fall and stay asleep. It should not be taken with alcohol or other substances that can cause drowsiness, as this can increase the risk of side effects. Trazodone can interact with other medications, including certain antidepressants, antihistamines, and opioids. Less common but more serious side effects include low blood pressure, seizures, and priapism (a painful and prolonged erection). The most common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. Like all medications, Trazodone can cause side effects. It is essential to follow the prescribing healthcare professional's dosage instructions and take only what is prescribed. The dosage of trazodone varies depending on the individual patient and the condition being treated. The extended-release formulation is often preferred for treating insomnia because it can help patients stay asleep throughout the night. Immediate-release trazodone is typically taken in divided doses throughout the day, while extended-release trazodone is taken once daily at bedtime. Trazodone is available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations. It is effective in treating insomnia because it can help promote drowsiness and improve the quality of sleep. Trazodone is also used off-label to treat other medical conditions, including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and sleep disorders like insomnia. By increasing serotonin levels in the brain, Trazodone helps to relieve depression symptoms and other mood disorders. Low serotonin levels have been linked to depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. Serotonin plays an important role in regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other bodily functions. This drug comes in a range of strengths: 50mg, 100mg, 150mg, and 300mg. It belongs to a class of medications called serotonin modulators, which act by changing the concentrations of different substances in the brain, including serotonin. The prescription drug trazodone is usually used for the treatment of depression. In addition, individuals who misuse Trazodone are at risk of developing an addiction, which can lead to various negative consequences, including social, occupational, and health problems.Īccording to National Center for Biotechnology Information data, 20–25 million adults over 12 in the United States met the criteria for SPA (psychoactive substances) dependency in 2006. What is Trazodone? What is Trazodone? The dangers of trazodone abuse include sedation, confusion, dizziness, impaired coordination, and respiratory depression. However, some individuals misuse the drug for its sedative effects or to get high. Trazodone is a prescription medication primarily used to treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Trazodone abuse is a growing problem in the United States.

Mafia 4 reddit11/7/2023 Now, why this guy? Well, in the show, Chris has a lot, and I mean A LOT of ups and downs, like drug addiction, his mental state becoming worse as the show goes on, his beliefs and trust in the Mafia slowly starting to wind down and eventually him becoming repulsed by Tony and a lot more to him that would keep me here forever. But, what keeps him in the Mafia, is all because he's Tony's Nephew. In the show, Chris is a younger member of the mob outfit Tony runs, but is shown to be.for lack of better words, immature, impulsive, and kind of annoying. What I had in mind, was a protagonist much more like Tony's Nephew, Christopher "Chrissy" Motlisanti, but not by a whole bunch. So, you may be thinking the protagonist for Mafia 4 would be like Tony, right? Well.no. Tony is the boss of his New Jeresy mobster outfit and essentially runs his business and family with an wheltting iron fist, where he constantly battles trying to change himself as a person, but also enjoy his life as the head of a Mafia outfit. So, if you've seen the Sopranos (it's on Max), you might be familiar with the main character and protagonist, Tony Soprano, played by the late great James Gandolfini. So it wouldn't be out of the park if the next game had a more Casino-y feel to it or maybe like a Donnie Brasco thing to it and so on.įor what I'd like to see from Mafia 4.again, I'm going back to the Sopranos for inspiration, but hear me out. But, I believe that the Mafia games also shine when they take inspiration from several Mafia related media. Also, yes, I know Mafia 3 was released in 2016 and Many Saints in 2021, but it's the only piece of media that comes to mind, I'm sorry.) Now, someone did comment on my last post and brought up a good point, that what makes the Mafia games shine is essentially being in a time when the player base (or the majority of the player base) wasn't around, like of course, the 30s to 70s, which gives them insight of what happened back then. (I wanna say think of The many Saints of Newark, but that movie is a big ehhhhhhhhh, so take that as you will. And lastly, Mafia 3 took after the Civil Rights movement, while the movement wasn't connected towards the Mafia, it did happen in several mob own areas. Mafia 2 takes after the first The Godfather movie, while yes Mafia 2 and Godfather 1 are very different from each other, but Mafia 2 does take after some aspects from it. Like Mafia 1 took after the probation era, where big names like AL Capone, Pretty Boy Floyd, and all those big name Mobsters were essentially known and remembered for their actions during the prohibition era. I made a lot of call backs to The Sopranos, which.yea I mean fair, I did kinda see Mafia 4 as just The Sopranos in Mafia, but if you're thinking about it.most of the Mafia games (this may seem like a weird and a bit of a stretch of an observation, please hear me out) take after Mafia media. With that out of the way.well, I kinda went over the gist in my previous post, where I discussed how I would like to see Mafia 4 play out. (I apologize for the weirdly specific example, what I mean is that you keep yourself cautious, with a open mind, but also skeptical before coming to a pin point conclusion.) Just don't believe everything you see right away as fact. How much of the salt you may ask, well.either just a tablespoon worth of salt or the Silent Hill community Bloober, when are we getting news on the Silent Hill 2 remake amount of salt. Now.to be honest, I honestly wouldn't mind having a prequel set before Mafia 1 and learn the story between Salieri, Morello, and Peppone and how everything.well happened, but I ask people to take this information with a side of salt. Now now, before you start anything, yes, I have heard that recently that a rumor from some gaming journalist or whatever has stated that Mafia 4 will officially be set in a prequel to Mafia 1 in Sicily or something like that. Well, this post is essentially a part two that adds a little more with what I discussed. So, I wanna say a week ago, I posted a post talking about what I'd love to see for the 4th installment for Mafia.

Last dodo bird killed at zoo11/7/2023 Oberholser suggested that C. canadensis should take precedence over C. migratoria (as E. canadensis), as it appeared on an earlier page in Linnaeus' book. In 1906 Outram Bangs suggested that because Linnaeus had wholly copied Catesby's text when coining C. macroura, this name should apply to the passenger pigeon, as E. macroura. In 1827 William John Swainson moved the passenger pigeon from the genus Columba to the new monotypic genus Ectopistes, due in part to the length of the wings and the wedge shape of the tail. Brisson's description was later shown to have been based on a female passenger pigeon. In the same edition, Linnaeus also named C. canadensis, based on Turtur canadensis, as used by Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760. In his 1766 edition of Systema Naturae, Linnaeus dropped the name C. macroura, and instead used the name C. migratoria for the passenger pigeon, and C. carolinensis for the mourning dove. There is nothing to suggest Linnaeus ever saw specimens of these birds himself, and his description is thought to be fully derivative of these earlier accounts and their illustrations. Catesby's description was combined with the 1743 description of the mourning dove by George Edwards, who used the name C. macroura for that bird. One of these was Mark Catesby's description of the passenger pigeon, which was published in his 1731 to 1743 work Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands, which referred to this bird as Palumbus migratorius, and was accompanied by the earliest published illustration of the species. This composite description cited accounts of these birds in two pre-Linnean books. Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus coined the binomial name Columba macroura for both the mourning dove and the passenger pigeon in the 1758 edition of his work Systema Naturae (the starting point of biological nomenclature), wherein he appears to have considered the two identical. Taxonomy Earliest published illustration of the species (a male), Mark Catesby, 1731 The eradication of the species is a notable example of anthropogenic extinction. Martha, thought to be the last passenger pigeon, died on September 1, 1914, at the Cincinnati Zoo. The last captive birds were divided in three groups around the turn of the 20th century, some of which were photographed alive. In 1900, the last confirmed wild bird was shot in southern Ohio. A slow decline between about 18 was followed by a rapid decline between 18. There were several other factors contributing to the decline and subsequent extinction of the species, including shrinking of the large breeding populations necessary for preservation of the species and widespread deforestation, which destroyed its habitat. Pigeon meat was commercialized as cheap food, resulting in hunting on a massive scale for many decades. Passenger pigeons were hunted by Native Americans, but hunting intensified after the arrival of Europeans, particularly in the 19th century. It practiced communal roosting and communal breeding, and its extreme gregariousness may be linked with searching for food and predator satiation. The bird fed mainly on mast, and also fruits and invertebrates. A very fast flyer, the passenger pigeon could reach a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph). The pigeon migrated in enormous flocks, constantly searching for food, shelter, and breeding grounds, and was once the most abundant bird in North America, numbering around 3 billion, and possibly up to 5 billion. It mainly inhabited the deciduous forests of eastern North America and was also recorded elsewhere, but bred primarily around the Great Lakes. The juvenile was similar to the female, but without iridescence. The female was 380 to 400 mm (15.0 to 15.7 in), and was duller and browner than the male overall. The male was 390 to 410 mm (15.4 to 16.1 in) in length, mainly gray on the upperparts, lighter on the underparts, with iridescent bronze feathers on the neck, and black spots on the wings. The passenger pigeon was sexually dimorphic in size and coloration. The morphologically similar mourning dove ( Zenaida macroura) was long thought to be its closest relative, and the two were at times confused, but genetic analysis has shown that the genus Patagioenas is more closely related to it than the Zenaida doves. The scientific name also refers to its migratory characteristics. Its common name is derived from the French word passager, meaning "passing by", due to the migratory habits of the species. The passenger pigeon or wild pigeon ( Ectopistes migratorius) is an extinct species of pigeon that was endemic to North America. Distribution map, with former range in orange and breeding zone in red

Going back to our previous example if Great Britain, after colonizing Colonial Eastern America (within North America), colonizes five provinces within Colonial Louisiana and Colonial Canada (which are both separate colonial regions within North America), two new colonial nations will form and gain any and all British provinces within their colonial region, granting Great Britain three colonial nations. A nation can have multiple colonial nations operating in the same colonial region by fully annexing or inheriting countries which themselves have colonial subjects. They do not use up diplomatic relation slots. If they colonize five provinces in Colonial Eastern America (within North America), a colonial nation will be formed and it will acquire all provinces gained by Great Britain if they are located within the same colonial region.Ī colonial power may have multiple colonial nations under its rule. Incomplete colonies and future new colonies started by the overlord country will remain under its control until completion upon which they are acquired by the colonial nation.Īs an example Great Britain's capital London is located in Europe, outside of any colonial regions, thus allowing them to spawn colonial nations. The new colonial nation will gain core on its capital, regardless of whether the overlord nation previously had cored the province. The capital of the Colonial Nation will be the highest development province (randomly chosen among ties). Ongoing constructions and ongoing great projects are cancelled and not refunded. If there are provinces previously being cored, the new colonial nation gains a full core on these provinces and refunded(fully if the progress is below 10% and half otherwise). Existing cores of the overlord nation are transferred to the new colonial nation as well. All fully colonized provinces within the same colonial region are transferred to the new colonial nation. If all conditions are fulfilled, a colonial nation will either form on the next day or on the 2nd day of the next month. The country is not the former tag of a country which formed a former colonial nation formable.The country is not and never was a former colonial nation formable.The country is not and never was a former colonial nation.The capital is not located within a colonial region.The country owns at least five cored overseas provinces in the same colonial region (regardless of whether they are part of a state or territory).The conditions to spawn a colonial nation are: There are twelve colonial regions in the game, 11 in the Americas (7 in North America, 4 in South America) and 1 covering Australia and New Zealand.Īs long as the conditions are met, almost any nation in the game can spawn colonial nations, from large and wealthy empires like Ming or a united Bharat to small and poor minor nations like Iceland. The New World and Oceania are divided into several ‘colonial regions’ for the purpose of forming colonial nations. Colonial regions in the new world (America and Oceania).

Digital doilies kaleidoscope drawing11/7/2023 The works in this room vie for eye-space many compete and most fail. Exceptionally compactly hung, this space shows the greatest diversity of artworks in all senses: small studies of plants and figures merge into surreal and fantastical landscapes pastel effects are overtaken by acrylic boldness, and monochrome by almost neon hues canvas shapes jump from rectangular to triangular and back again. The dark rectangles of Sean Scully’s enormous Full House are reiterated in Cornelia Parker’s fragile-looking, black patinated bronze cast of pavement cracks – although Parker’s piece is displayed on a plinth rather than directly on the floor, numbing its connection to the physicality of walking.Ĭontrast this with the tessellated patchwork of Room I, curated by Gus Cummins. Room II emphasises geometry and bold tones. Particular highlights include Donald Sultan’s Aqua Button Flower June 30 2015, Mick Moon’s three paintings, At Sea, Dusk and Pause, and Georg Baselitz’s upside-down drawing of a seated nude. Room III, which is curated by artists Eileen Cooper and Bill Jacklin (and, confusingly, precedes Rooms I and II), is filled with light, allowing the bright, abstract paintings on its stacked walls to sing. It is as if the curators saw, following the confusion of the Wohl Central Hall, that playfulness, colour and broad aesthetic affinities were an acceptable way to hang an exhibition space after all. Thankfully, the zigzagging tensions between the political, the emotional, the picturesque and the humorously futile disappear in the following few rooms, and the atmosphere lightens. As if to summarise what we are all thinking, a dizzying coloured dot painting by Tom Phillips emits the desperate Beckettian cry: “I can’t go on, I’ll go on.” The women are not “to go” after all, but are to be admired, consumed, bought and sold. Yet its provocation is muffled by its inclusion in the visual melee and by the fact that the postcards can’t be taken away and treasured by visitors as in previous installations of the work, owing to the £12,500 price tag. Meanwhile, a profound political statement is made by Mathilde ter Heijne’s Woman to Go – a rack of postcards depicting anonymous female subjects, each inscribed on the reverse with biographies of other little-known but high-achieving women from history. A group of pleasant, cloudy landscapes cluster on one of the walls, while two of Tracey Emin’s anxious neon utterances face off across the room (“I Did Not Say I Can Never Love You / I Said I Could Never Love” “Never again!”) and Yinka Shonibare’s Angel (Red) reflects the distorted visage of Jim Dine’s Poet Singing, First Version. A clunky, two-wheeled vehicle bearing precariously balanced glass bottles takes a central plinth, its Duchampian uselessness echoed by a suspended spinning bicycle wheel adorned with peacock feathers. The love-hate absurdity of the Summer Exhibition’s dense format is reinforced this year in its first room, the Wohl Central Hall. And it is no wonder that space continues to be at a premium, with 12,500 submissions from artists both emerging and known whittled down to a “mere” 1,092 works by the show’s selection and hanging committee. Granted, a few of the 14 spaces in this year’s exhibition give their inhabitants (the gallery-goers as well as the artworks) a little more room to breathe. What has probably not changed is the sprawling, chock-a-block nature of the layout. There is certainly more abstraction, more stylistic and thematic variation and possibly more colour – and film, photography and digital art have (just about) permeated the grandiose classical corridors. Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2017 The RA’s annual open submission exhibition presents a shifting ‘kaleidoscope’ of contemporary art – but what does it show us about art now?Īs London’s Royal Academy teeters on the precipice of its 250th anniversary next year, one wonders how its Summer Exhibition has changed from year one to year 249.
