![]() The purpose is to build native applications for both iOS and Android. ![]() What Is React Native?īased on JavaScript and JSX, React Native is an open-source framework created and launched by Facebook in 2015. Even though the choice between the two is easy, it still depends on your understanding of the underlying tenets of these cross-development platforms. The two heavyweights of cross-platform development, Xamarin and React Native, provide the functionality of “Write once and Deploy anywhere.” Having said that, there are some specific differences between them in terms of market share, code compilation, SDK environment, etc. ![]() Fresh out of college developers have to choose between one and make sure that they are going in the right direction. Choosing between these frameworks in the mobile-first world can be confusing. Xamarin, Ionic, Flutter, React Native are some of these technologies to keep an eye on. Cross-platform development has come of age and allows developers as well as businessmen to deliver one application that works on the platforms.Įver since cross-platform development has picked up the pace, several technologies are up for grabs. Gone are the days when developers would have to choose between Objective-C and Java. All types of businesses across the scale have set budgets to build the most relevant mobile applications to address their customers' needs and preferences.Īt the same time, there has been an upsurge in the ways and means of mobile app development. The race to create innovative applications with new ideas is now greater than ever. A total of 5.22 billion people use mobile and 4.66 billion people have access to the internet. ![]() ![]() When enough of these objectives are completed, the goose is allowed to move on to the next area. The village is split up into multiple areas, each of which has a "to do" list of objectives, such as stealing certain objects or tricking humans into doing specific things. Set in an quiet English village, the game follows a domestic goose controlled by the player that can honk, duck down, run, flap its wings, and grab objects with its beak to bother villagers. In this gameplay screenshot, the goose (the playable character) honks and chases after one of the villagers. By the end of 2019, Untitled Goose Game had sold more than a million copies. Dan Golding was nominated for an ARIA award for the music. Game of the Year and GDCA Game of the Year, among other accolades. Untitled Goose Game received positive reviews, critics praising its gameplay and humor. The game was released on macOS, Nintendo Switch, and Windows on 20 September 2019, and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 17 December 2019. It has been described as "reactive music" because the clips are played after certain actions. The music, curated by composer Dan Golding, uses short clips from six of Claude Debussy's Préludes. The game's unusual name came from a last-minute decision in preparing the title as an entry for a games festival. Inspired by Super Mario 64 and the Hitman series, House House worked on combining stealth mechanics with a lack of violence to create humorous in-game scenarios. The idea for Untitled Goose Game originated from a stock photograph of a goose that a House House employee posted in the company's internal communications. It was released for macOS, Nintendo Switch, Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. ![]() Players must use the goose's abilities to manipulate objects and non-player characters to complete objectives. Players control a goose who bothers the inhabitants of an English village. Untitled Goose Game is a 2019 puzzle stealth game developed by House House and published by Panic Inc. ![]() He got maybe 25’ away and came back and asked me what I meant by mostly. Rich's Cobalt Burger was ‘fantastic’, my dad’s simple burger was ‘really a great hamburger’ my mom said ‘she couldn’t believe she was enjoying a hamburger so much.’ Jay came by and asked how everything was, they told him, I said ‘mostly good’ as Jay was walking away. (I like to try a plain burger the first time I am at a new place, it's a bench mark.) Jay asked about appetizers, I inquired about the Black-Eyed Pea Dip he said it was great - IT WAS! Our burgers came, mine was PLAIN -burger bun nothing else- before I finished asking the server who brought it for a tomato Jay showed up and had my tomato on the table in LITERALLY under a minute. Rich ordered a Cobalt Burger, my parents ordered regular burgers, our server, Jay, told me ‘of course I could have a bison burger without ordering a Cobalt Burger’ I ordered a plain one. ![]() ![]() The restaurant was busier than we expected but we only waited about 10 minutes to get seated. After the show my parents, Rich and I all went to Cobalt intent on the best hamburger ever. We looked around outside, he told me what a great hamburger it was, pointed out the bridge, the boats, the crane on the dock and what a great time he had last year. This year we were in town for the Blue Angels again so Rich and I went out to Cobalt, they weren’t open. He said it was fantastic, worth the price, I should definitely go. Last year my friend Rich arrived before me and just happened to drive by Cobalt while looking around and got a hamburger. BRYCE MADE IT A 6-STAR EVENING I WISH I COULD GIVE MY REVIEW THE EXTRA STAR. Model year changes 2013 įor the 2013 model year, a new direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 became available on LT and LTZ models, providing 301 horsepower (224 kW 305 PS) and 272 lb⋅ft (369 N⋅m 38 kg⋅m) of torque. Both powertrains contain six-speed automatics and optional all-wheel-drive systems, with front-wheel-drive being standard. The second generation Equinox is available standard with a 2.4-liter I4 engine produced in Tonawanda, New York and Spring Hill, Tennessee, with a 3.0-liter V6 engine is available as an option. However, in October 2015 the Equinox was reintroduced in Mexico to replace the Captiva Sport for the 2016 model year. Sales of the Chevrolet Equinox to Mexico were stopped after the 2011 model year. Marketing of Chevrolet Equinox resumed in Mexico in late November 2009, for the 2010 model year after a year of absence. Earlier 2010 models had the GM badges on the front doors, but were later deleted. The second generation Equinox was built with a pair of upgraded gasoline direct injection engines, with better fuel economy claimed by GM. It is built on a stiffened version of the same "Theta" platform used in the previous model. The 2010 Equinox went on sale in June 2009. The second generation Equinox was announced by GM on December 21, 2008, and debuted at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. ![]() GM also prominently promoted the GXP in television advertisements by touting its horsepower advantage over the BMW X3, in an effort to brand Pontiac more as a direct, low-cost rival to BMW. GM stated the Equinox Sport was the first vehicle to reflect its more cautious naming standards. Optional features included navigation, heated sport leather seats, DVD entertainment system, a sunroof and all-wheel drive. The GXP had twin hood scoops, hydraulic power-assisted steering (as opposed to the electric power-assisted standard Torrent), improved interior trim with unique gauges, and a dual chrome-tipped exhaust. The lower stance is accented by the 18-inch 5-spoke chrome wheels and the absence of the roof rack, giving them a smoother design flow compared to the standard models. These models also received a 1 in (25 mm) lowered ride height with a performance-tuned suspension and unique front and rear body kits. This larger and more powerful (264 hp (197 kW 268 PS) or 40% increase) engine allowed acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in under seven seconds. Featuring a 3.6-liter LY7 DOHC V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission (with Manual Tap Up/Down shifting capability). The Chevrolet Equinox was not sold in Mexico during the 2009 model year.įor the 20 model years, GM offered different versions of the Equinox and Torrent called Sport/SS and GXP, respectively. Starting with the 2008 model year, the Equinox Sport and Pontiac GXP were available with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that was made in the United States. ![]() The 3.4 L LNJ V6 engine is made in China (by Shanghai GM), while the Aisin AF33 transmission is made in Japan. The first generation Equinox and Torrent were produced exclusively at the CAMI Automotive GM/ Suzuki joint venture plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. ![]() For 2007, the instrument cluster got a redesign with a trip computer display, replacing the Saturn-sourced unit. ![]() They are not designed for serious off-roading like the truck-based Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet TrailBlazer.įor the 2006 model year, GM updated the Equinox for the first time, adding GM badges on the front doors, as well as recoloring the dashboard panel from grey to black. Front-wheel drive is standard, with optional all-wheel drive. However, the Equinox and the Torrent are larger than the Vue, riding on a 112.5 in (2,858 mm) wheelbase, 5.9 in (150 mm) longer than the Vue. Riding on the GM Theta platform, the unibody is mechanically similar to the Saturn Vue and the Suzuki XL7. The Pontiac Torrent was originally shown at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Pontiac Torrent was introduced in 2005 for the 2006 model year. Originally, the Equinox was shown at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. The Chevrolet Equinox was introduced in 2004 for the 2005 model year. Even so, there was much genuine achievement, including a series of Carnegie Hall concerts and, in 1951, what this writer would argue was Ellington’s single greatest composition, “A Tone Parallel to Harlem.”Īfter its 1956 triumph at the Newport Jazz Festival, the Duke Ellington band enjoyed renewed prestige and a creative burst that lasted until the death of Billy Strayhorn in 1967. Personnel shifted, too: longtime drummer Sonny Greer left in 1951 and was replaced by Louis Bellson, and Johnny Hodges was absent from 1951 to ’55. But what happened to the giants of’ the swing era? For both Duke Ellington and Count Basie, some years had to pass before they would be taken seriously again.ĭuke Ellington went through a long period of transition (1945-55) when the big band was taken for granted and regarded by some as a bit old-fashioned. Those are just a few of the new big bands that sprang up right after the big band era supposedly came to a close. In general, Kenton was a shrewd judge of talent in both players (Art Pepper, Shelly Manne, Maynard Ferguson, Frank Rosolino, Lee Konitz, Zoot Sims, Mel Lewis) and writers (Pete Rugolo, Shorty Rogers, Graettinger, Gerry Mulligan, Bill Russo, Bill Holman), and was generous in his support.ĭuke Ellington, Count Basie, and other swing era greats For example, Bob Graettinger’s “City of Glass,” recorded in 1951 by the “innovations” edition that included French horns and a large string section, remains even today a startling listening experience. But it was not uncommon at the time for listeners to also hate the Kenton big band.Īt any given period, though, the Kenton ensembles played much that was praiseworthy and, in some cases, genuinely original. They were phenomenally popular, due in part to Kenton’s considerable flair for public relations and the strong support of Capitol Records. The “progressive” sound of the Stan Kenton big band was a prime example. Some say he sounded best with a full bandstand behind him.īut leading a big band in the late forties and early fifties wasn’t simply a matter of success or failure-some bands generated serious controversy and strong emotions over the music they played. Dizzy continued to record and tour sporadically with large groups for the rest of his life, including two State Department tours in 19 with a big band that included Lee Morgan, Phil Woods, Benny Golson and Wynton Kelly. He kept it together for four years, thanks in part to his flamboyant personality and the fact that he was at the height of his playing powers. After an abortive beginning in 1945, a new group formed in 1946 gave voice to such innovative writers as Gil Fuller, Tadd Dameron, George Russell and John Lewis, and succeeded in transferring some of Gillespie’s and Charlie Parker’s innovations to a large ensemble. Gillespie’s own big band experiments fared somewhat better. ![]() Despite the big band’s talent, the music was just too strange for its time. And he gave free rein to his advanced arrangers: Eddie Finckel, Johnny Richards, and most importantly, George Handy. During his big band’s heyday (1944-48), Raeburn employed many of the finest jazz musicians of the time, including Dizzy Gillespie, Al Cohn, Lucky Thompson, Serge Chaloff, Frank Socolow, Johnny Mandel and Buddy DeFraneo. Writers, arrangers and big band-leaders were developing artistic goals that took them beyond the usual bounds of popular music.Ī pioneer of the immediate postwar period was Boyd Raeburn, a marginal saxophonist and former commercial dance band leader. ![]() The result was less and less work for dance-oriented bands. Then came the postwar recession, a 20 percent tax on “entertainment” (big band music for dancing or that included singers), and the advent of television as a major source of amusement. ![]() ![]() Also during the war years, the ban on recording ordered by the musicians union in its fight for royalties from radio airplay kept a lot of people out of work until the issue was resolved. World War II forced musicians into the armed services, and gas rationing made it tough for surviving big bands to tour. Jazz, whether it was played by a small or big band, was becoming a music for listeners, serious and otherwise. The best postwar bands functioned as concert ensembles that also played for dancing. Virtually every big band of the swing era functioned first and foremost as a dance band. ![]() To install Thunderbird using the Synaptic Package Manager You can get more information about Ubuntuzilla here.
