Of all the horses Lovell has pulled from the junk heap of discarded horses, the mere mention of Press Exclusive brings her to tears. “By the time she made it to Ottawa, where the kill buyer off-loaded her to do paperwork before proceeding to the slaughterhouse, a sale-barn vet wanted to kill her immediately because she was in such bad shape,” says Mindy Lovell, longtime Thoroughbred rescuer, owner of Spring Hill Farm and operator of Transitions Thoroughbred Program.Ĭovered from head to toe with deep cuts and abrasions, Press Exclusive sustained four fractured ribs and blows to the face that caused grotesque swelling. ![]() No longer valuable as a racehorse or a broodmare - she gave birth to nine foals-she fell down among the legs and hooves of the other slaughter-bound horses, and was pummeled as she struggled beneath them, writhing in the shavings and manure. ![]() Press Exclusive earned $400,000 on the track and foaled 9 babies before she was a “downer horse” on slaughter truckĪll that money, nearly a half million dollars worth of racetrack winnings, couldn’t help her as she thrashed in panic and fear.įlailing beneath the hooves of 30 other terrified horses, last December in a tractor-trailer heading for a Canadian slaughterhouse, once-winning race mare Press Exclusive had lost her balance on the truck, and her place in the world.

Additionally, the enemy AI can be quite dumb at times – in fact they’re more likely to spot you from farther away than up close. Let it be known that this is not an easy game (there are three difficulty options), and once you’ve been spotted it is very common to be killed in action whether via an enemy soldier or turret. However it is very hard to stealth an entire contract, and more often than not I was exposed and had to deal with enemies aware of my presence. Some objectives took me hours to complete as I tried to Sam Fisher my way to victory, and the longer these sequences were drawn out the tenser they felt.

There’s something deeply satisfying about starting with nothing and ending with an empire, regardless of whether you pillaged villages or destroyed an entire forest to get there. Survival games are, a lot of the time, about the grind. In fact, we’re spoilt for so much choice when it comes to the survival genre that it can be hard to choose which one you want to plough hours into. Whether it’s the random resurgence of Project Zomboid, more Minecraft updates, or an entirely new title to the scene like Valheim, we’re spoilt for choice. If you like Zombie games with a good story, Undying is highly recommended.In recent years, survival games have showed no signs of slowing down. It’s a heart-breaking and challenging game that is sure to make a big splash when it’s fully released.

The zen room provides practitioners and children with a space to participate in quiet calming activities such as mindfulness, yoga and zen activities.ĭue to the lockdown children have had no contact with grandparents, no play dates and the wearing of face coverings have left children less exposed to conversations and everyday experiences all this has impacted on children’s language skills. The Zen Den has also been a great stimulant for new children and a refreshing change to help children to settle and adapt to nursery life, especially in smaller numbers, where by children have the opportunity to explore such a different environment that they may never have done elsewhere. Some children haven’t been around other children for over 18 months so we decided it was time to reevaluate and introduce Kidzrus Zen Den. Since returning to nursery after the unprecedented lock down we have found that children are extremely active and can become overwhelmed quite easily with so many finding the busy environment over stimulating at times. We chose neutral colours from the paint on the walls to the lights using soft tones to lift the mood and inspire creativity. Zen Dens are used as a meditation room or a space to practice yoga with an open floor plan away from too much activity used to “unwind” sit back and relax away from everyday pressures.

And since the whole affair is managed from iTunes on your Mac or PC this means there’s the added benefit of control from the free Remote application for the iPhone and iPod touch. The upshot is similar functionality to a Sonos system but at a fraction of the cost. As the AirPort Express wireless can also be used as a range extender for an existing connection, it’s possible to have a few dotted around the house all hooked up to different speaker systems and streaming different music. More interesting, perhaps, is the audio jack, which enables music stored on a PC or Mac to be streamed – using what Apple calls AirTunes – to the AirPort Express and output to an amplifier or a set of powered speakers, from iTunes.Ĭleverly, this is both an analogue and a digital output, so if you have ripped your CDs to your Mac or PC in the Apple Lossless format (FLAC isn’t supported in iTunes, remember) you can stream that lossless music around your house. The USB port makes it possible to connect a USB printer to the AirPort Express unit and share it either over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If you take a look on the underside of the unit, you’ll also find a USB port and a 3.5mm audio jack next to the requisite Ethernet port. ![]() Yes, the AirPort Express does indeed plug into your wall rather neatly and accept an Ethernet connection, which it then makes available to the world via a Draft-N wireless connection, but that isn’t all}/i} it does. ![]() When just about every router these days also packs in wireless, and Ethernet-over-power adaptors are a better solution than Wi-Fi for the majority of situations anyway, AirPort Express, ostensibly a wireless adaptor, might seem a little niche – even for Apple!Īs ever with Apple, however, things aren’t so simple. ![]() Knowing your hardware's clock source setting is imperative. Selecting one of these options insures your unit will not drift apart from other audio streams during playback or recording. Considering this, you will find "Built-In Input" (for resolving your hardware to your computer's Built-In Input), and any other connected MOTU or third-party interface listed. Note Mac OS X Users: MOTU's Universal Audio Driver allows your USB or FireWire device to resolve directly to another CoreAudio driver.Keep in mind, it is here where you can also generate SMPTE timecode, and utilize your MOTU hardware not only as an audio interface, but as a digital audio synchronizer as well. Use the MOTU SMPTE Setup (Mac OS X) / MOTU SMPTE Console (Win) application for configuration. This allows your unit to resolve to any SMPTE timecode source, such as a multitrack tape deck. SMPTE: Nearly every piece of MOTU hardware can resolve to SMPTE time code (LTC) through an analog quarter-inch (TRS) input.Note: ADAT Optical or TOSLink will only appear as an option if it is enabled as the Optical Input format for one of your unit's Optical Bank(s). Choosing one of these options will sync your unit to the clock provided by the digital input. S/PDIF, ADAT Optical, TOSLink: Depending on your unit's I/O configuration, you may find several options referencing the digital inputs on your hardware.For the latter, set Unit A's clock source to Internal, (as its clocking information will be broadcast through the Word Clock Output), which Unit B can resolve to if its clock source is set to "Word Clock In". Selecting this option allows your interface to slave to a connected external clock, be that a standalone Word Clock Generator, or even another MOTU interface equipped with Word Clock BNC Connectors. ![]() Word Clock In: If your hardware has a BNC Word Clock Input, you will find a "Word Clock In" option. ![]() If you don't need to reference an external clock, record digital inputs, or perform any digital audio transfers, Internal is the choice you are looking for. Also, when using your MOTU hardware as the master clock source, "Internal" is the appropriate choice. Using this setting, your hardware operates under its own digital audio clock, and is the appropriate choice when recording only analog inputs, or when simply playing audio tracks from disk.
