One crucial factor when choosing a telescope is aperture size. Why is aperture size so important when choosing a telescope? You might be better off starting with a good mid-range scope with a GoTo mount and upgrading later once you’ve exhausted its potential. You can find beginner-level telescopes for over £1,000, but you need to think long and hard about whether it’s worth the investment. That should be enough to stoke interest in astronomy and make the effort feel incredibly worthwhile. You won’t get amazing close-up views of Jupiter or Saturn, but you’ll still get a good look at the planets and brighter celestial objects. If you shop carefully, do your research and are realistic in your aspirations, you can pick up a starter telescope for around £100. The design is easy and cheap to manufacture, even with a larger aperture mirror, so Dobsonian reflectors tend to give you a lot of telescope for your money.ĭo I need to spend a lot on a good telescope? ![]() Finally, Dobsonian reflectors use the standard Newtonian design, but in a larger form with a heavy rotating mount at the base.Schmidt-Cassegrain, or Maksutov-Cassegrain, reflectors place a thin lens over the front of the telescope to combine the advantages of a reflector and a refractor.Cassegrain reflectors add a curved secondary mirror to the classic design, which means they’re more compact.Are there any other types I should know about? While reflectors are generally better for viewing deep-sky objects (galaxies, nebulae and the rest), they may not offer such clear, bright views of nearer objects and planets. Reflectors don’t have this problem, but the mirrors may need to be manually adjusted, and unless you have a special eyepiece, the view will be upside down. However, they’re more likely to suffer from chromatic aberration, where bright objects – such as a star – appear surrounded by a halo of different colours. What are the key differences between the two?īoth types have their strengths: refractors are sealed, which means dirt can’t get in and you can get a sharper image, particularly of bright, near-sky objects such as the moon or planets. A refractor uses one or more lenses to do the same job. A reflector telescope uses a large parabolic mirror to harvest and reflect the incoming light to another mirror, which in turn reflects that light into the eyepiece. ![]() ![]() Telescopes come in two basic types: reflectors and refractors.

![]() "Secondly, teachers should not be afraid to reach out to the podcast world and ask for help. "My advice is to check with students first to see what their experience is with recording and listening to podcasts," says Applen. These of course are just a few of the options out there, and some of the educators say it's been a trial-and-error process to find the right app for their students, and their experience level. He likes the accessibility and says that many of his students were already familiar with it: "Some of the students had already used GarageBand for other classes, whether they were recording things or just experimenting." In New Jersey, Timothy Belmont says his students are using GarageBand as well as Soundtrap. As long as there's an iPhone, students can record and produce their podcasts anywhere. GarageBand is a music creation studio that is automatically installed in all Mac and iOS devices. She says she hasn't used the app very much, and she doesn't have to: Her students have taken the lead and they are working through the "kinks" together. Joanne Stanley's English students at Swift Creek Middle School in Midlothian, Va., are also using Soundtrap. Since Soundtrap is web-based, there's no installation required and all projects also save to the cloud, allowing students to access their files from multiple devices. That, he adds, "can extend the assignment from just being during class time to being outside of class." "You can even have students who are not necessarily in the same place record together collaboratively," says Belmont. Soundtrap is an online, collaborative music workstation that can edit and record vocals and instruments. "They can use it on their iPad through their web browser, but they can also use it on a laptop." "It's like a fully functional studio," says Belmont. For him, Soundtrap is an accessible way to do that. Timothy Belmont, an English and public speaking teacher at Lyndhurst High School in Lyndhurst, N.J., wanted to give his students the option to go more in-depth with audio recording and editing. Jones says this makes it easier to export their submissions for the challenge. Students with Google accounts, like Jones' class, can save their podcasts to their Google Drive through WeVideo. "This is more user friendly and all sixth graders have access to this WeVideo," says Jones. This is her second time submitting to the Podcast Challenge, and Jones says she started using WeVideo this year because it doesn't have an age restriction for children like previous apps she's used. WeVideo is a desktop and mobile app where users can upload, trim and arrange both audio and video clips. Shari Jones' sixth-grade language arts students are using WeVideo to record and edit their podcast at Independence Elementary School in Liberty Township, Ohio. "It has all the bells and whistles for those that want to use it," she explains, "but it's also simple enough for the students that just want and need the basics." She helps teachers learn how to use the software on their laptops - she's an Audacity fan. Stacy Kreitzer is an instructional technology coach for Lower Dauphin Middle School and Lower Dauphin High School in Hummelstown, Pa. He says one of his favorite features is the ability to put together audio segments that were recorded at different times to create one episode.Īudacity can also export files in various formats, including the wave file format you'll need to submit for the Podcast Challenge. "It comes down to what's accessible for students and easy for them to use." "It just has some really handy features," he says. ![]() With Audacity, you can record directly on your computer's microphone or an external one (although, the audio doesn't need to be recorded with the software to edit it there).Įric Applen, who teaches 21st century technology and careers at Friedell Middle School in Rochester, Minn., oversees the school's podcast club and says he taught himself how to use Audacity. It's an audio recording and editing package that is downloadable for both Windows and Mac users. Of the more advanced, laptop-focused software, Audacity is one of the most popular ones we heard about. "I love how user-friendly it is, and it's easy to explain." Other tools let you add transitions, sound effects and background music to help make your podcast unique (NOTE: Please read our strict rules on what music you can add to your submission).Īnother benefit for students doing lots of experimenting: No storage limits.Īmanda Suttle says that when she started using Anchor, she didn't know anything about editing sound. Developed by Spotify, think of Anchor as a mobile recording studio: With a wi-fi connection, you can record with multiple people in different locations at the same time (as long as they have the app).Īnd you can edit what you record right in the app, using simple tools like trimming and removing segments. ![]() ![]() Hit the green with up to four players locally or online and golf.

I decided against the repair at the time and they disconnected the wiper motor for me so the wipers were not continuously on and potentially ruining the windshield, although leaving me completely blind if it were to start to rain. I took it to the repair shop and they assessed that it was the wiper functions on the multifunction switch malfunctioned, even though the turn signal and headlight functions remained intact, and the switch needed to be replaced, a part that costs $497. There were no warning lights or anything. So for the next 40 miles I drove into the sun on a 90 degree day with the wipers on. ![]() I tried to change the speed of the wipers and they just stayed in the normal on speed no matter what setting I set them at including off. I assumed I was out of fluid and tried to turn the wipers off to find they stayed on while when I put them in the off position. I was trying to use the windshield washer while driving home and the wipers turned on but no fluid came out. The dash lights are a huge safety concern as I don't know how fast I'm driving and it happens while the car is in motion. The engine and battery lights are on constantly since the weather changed. The dash lights went completely out yesterday and I could not see my speedometer, but it came back on 60 min later. I feel unsafe as I cannot see out of the rear window due to consistent under 40 degrees temps. It's the next winter and the center console is completely out so I cannot control hazard lights, the turn signals don't make noise, backup camera is out, seat controls don't work, rear defrost never turns on but the front defrost blasts hot air constantly causing fog. That next winter the problem came back so I went back to the dealership and this time they replaced the body control module. So I went to a second Dodge dealership in 2019 when my car was at the end of it's warranty and they did see the issue occur and decided to replace the screen all together. After a while it became much more consistent and the battery trick didn't always work anymore. I researched the internet for solutions and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery seemed to fix it so that became a temporary resolution. The Dodge mechanics claimed they could not get the problem to come up for them at all during yearly visits from 2014-2018. It would sometimes come back on after turning the car off for a period of time but then it turned off and stayed off for days. I took the car back to the dealership while it was under warranty at least 3 times to no avail. The whole car seemed like it was resetting as everything electrical flickered and turned off and then on again. ![]() I bought the car in March and by October when it got cooler outside, it was evident there were some electrical issues related to the uconnect screen blanking out and dash lights flickering while driving or when abs engaged, and engine and battery lights on. In 2013 I bought a new Dodge Dart limited from a Dodge dealer. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why download at all, then? For us, this ensures high-quality video. To stay on the right side of this line, it’s best to act in good-faith by only downloading those shows that will be watched soon, and then deleted. The US Supreme Court effectively decided in 2009 that the use of DVR is legal. They’re frequently purged to make room for new content. These files are for personal use only.Content is actually recorded from the screen in real-time ( no way to speed up the download).I can only download through legal distributors ( i.e., the network’s website).I prefer to download TV shows ahead of time with DVR software. Proponents of this approach will point out that nobody has ever been prosecuted for this sort of downloading ( as long as you remember not to seed- many users have faced lawsuits for seeding). They generally use torrents, and at least give access to TV/movies which you may not own. That said, I have fears of popular downloading software like Sonarr, Radarr, etc. I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. The legality of downloading TV and movies has always been murky. PlayOn: record TV/movies for your media library.Plex: a beautiful interface for your own media library.USTV Now: free US-focused news ( paid option).: one of the first aggregators from the cable-box days.Popcornflix: ad-supported TV and Movies ( owned by Screen Media Ventures).Tubi: ad-supported TV and Movies ( owned by Fox).Crackle: TV and Movies ( owned by Sony).There are also various streaming channels available, like BBC and Comedy Central, to gain direct access to their online catalog.

Our home projector running Kodi and the Comedy Central add-on. These are… dubiously legal, at best.īut Kodi has plenty of legal add-ons and uses. They carry a vague warning about your “ISP tracking you.” They’re right to do so: most of the top-ranking “how-to” sites for Kodi discuss the wide market of add-ons that allow for streaming any TV/movie channel/service around the world. Many sites recommend ( nay, insist) you use a VPN with Kodi. If you search for instructions on using Kodi, you might find something odd. To do anything interesting, it first need a media library or some kind of streaming source. What is Kodi, then? It is just a nicely polished media player… with lots of add-ons and customizations. Installing Kodi is very simple, but the default installation does… almost nothing. It can run on a wide variety of devices, from Raspberry Pis to Firesticks to laptops and servers. Because of this, you will need Real Debrid or another premium service.Kodi is one of the most popular open-source media players. This addon chiefly works by searching and scraping premium links from online databases and websites. Important: Ensure that you install this addon correctly and fully by following ALL of the steps in the tutorial linked below. Select what you want to watch and Seren will take care of the rest! However, if you prefer, you can change the settings to choose your link yourself instead of using the auto play feature. Another great thing about Seren is that it is a one-click addon.

At this time, Seren can only be used if you link a premium account such as Real Debrid. Seren is a video-on-demand Kodi addon that is particularly great for streaming movies and TV shows. ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot can be understood, but not easily, and not on first viewing, and besides, the point is that Moseby is as lost as we are. Of course, we could fall back on the old filmcrit ploy, "we're not supposed to understand the plot." That worked for " Syriana." But in "Night Moves," I think it's a little trickier. I saw it a week ago with an audience at that holy place of the cinema, George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y., and then I was joined in a discussion with Jim Healy, the assistant curator - we talked for an hour with a room full of moviegoers and we were left with more questions than we started with. It is probably true that if you saw "Night Moves" several times and took careful notes, you could reconstruct exactly what happens in the movie, but that might be missing the point. Now we have most of the characters on board, and I will stop describing the plot, not so much because I fear giving it away as because I fear I cannot. In Florida, Moseby finds her (played by Melanie Griffith in her movie debut) living with Tom and Tom's lover, Paula ( Jennifer Warren). His trail leads first to a movie location, where he meets a mechanic ( James Woods) who once dated Delly, and then a stunt pilot ( Anthony Costello) who took her away from the mechanic, and then a stunt pilot who says Delly is probably in Florida with her stepfather, the charter pilot Tom Iverson (John Crawford). The man is Marty Heller ( Harris Yulin), who lives out in Malibu, and later Harry confronts him, although in a curiously lukewarm way: "How serious is it?" When his wife finds out he knows, she makes it his fault: "Why didn't you ask me first?" He leaves town to work on the case as a sort of therapy. It was kinda like watching paint dry." Then he stakes out the theater and sees her meeting a man Harry doesn't know. His wife, Ellen ( Susan Clark), asks if he wants to go see " My Night at Maud's," but he tells her, "I saw a Rohmer film once. Harry takes the job but first does a little sleuthing on his own time. Her 16-year-old daughter, Delly, has run away from home, and she wants Harry to find her, although if Harry wants to have a drink with Arlene first, that would be nice. Arlene Iverson ( Janet Ward) is a onetime B-movie sweater girl who married a couple of rich guys - one dead, the other ex - and must be lonely, because she greets Harry dressed as if she's hired him to look at her breasts. It works as about two thrillers.As the movie opens, he is summoned to the kind of client who would be completely at home in a Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe story. By the movie's end, and especially during its last shock of recognition, we've been through a wringer. These are all the trademarks of the Lew Archer novels by Ross MacDonald especially the little-girl-lost theme, and Alan Sharp's screenplay uses them infinitely better than "The Drowning Pool" did - even though that was actually based on a Macdonald book. The plot involves former and present lovers of the girl and her mother, sunken treasure (yes, sunken treasure), conflicts across the generations and murders more complex by far than they seem at first. Miss Warren creates a character so refreshingly eccentric, so sexy in such an unusual way, that it's all the movie can do to get past her without stopping to admire. The mistress is played by a relatively unknown actress and sometime singer named Jennifer Warren, who has the cool gaze and air of competence and tawny hair of that girl in the Winston ads who smokes for pleasure and creates waves of longing in men from coast to coast. And from the moment he sets eyes on the stepfather's mistress, the movie, which has been absorbing anyway, really takes off. Harry traces the missing girl to her stepfather, a genial pilot in the Florida Keys, and goes there to bring her back. His confrontation with the man, like so many scenes in the movie, is done with dialog so blunt in its truthfulness that the characters really do escape their genre. ![]() Harry takes the case, pausing only long enough to track down his own missing wife - who is, it turns out, having a not especially important, affair with a man with a beach house in Malibu. He's a private detective for reasons, vaguely hinted at, involving his childhood.Ī Hollywood divorcee, clinging to the last shreds of a glamor that once won her a movie director (and half the other men in town, she claims) hires him to trace down her missing daughter. He's a former pro football player and a man of considerable intelligence, whose wife ( Susan Clark) runs an antique business. The eye this time is named Harry Moseby, perhaps with a nod toward Hackman's great performance as Harry Caul in " The Conversation," perhaps not. ![]() |
