![]() I’ve already put it on and taken it off dozens of times, so I can vouch for it being truly easy to do and light weight. ![]() And because it’s easy to set up, you can put it on when needed then take it off. For just $1000 it fits on nearly any treadmill. LEVER SYSTEM is a portable setup that can be used on your home treadmill, at the gym or a PT’s office. The price tag is so high that very few places even have these machines, but a company out of Boulder is fixing that! Meet the new tool that I’ve been testing out, alongside some SERIOUS Olympic and elite runners. I wasn’t quite aware of my lack of extension until seeing how the different levels actually made my knee worse, rather than better. Unfortunately in my case, it turns out knee extension was one of my major issues and running with less weight allowed my leg to fully extend, which HURT. It’s immediate feedback while you are running to see what might need to change about your gait or where you need extra strength work. You’ll also note in the images that some have a mounted camera by the feet which is great for reviewing your foot strike. But being in Florida this wasn’t really anything new to me! You don’t feel like the machine is raising and lowering you, rather you notice the weight on your feet becoming more or less.ĭue to the neoprene shorts, you’re going to work up a hot sweat. Using controls similar to incline, you can decrease the amount of weight on your body. This makes it feel as though you are running on air. The the machine uses “unweighting technology” to remove pressure from your body. A basic example would be someone who weighs 100 pounds, could feel as light as 20 pounds on the treadmill. The machine can make you feel up to 80 percent lighter. It’s a very odd sensation and obviously not beneficial for training, but great for recovery from a serious injury. ![]() Your legs mostly feel like they are free flying through the air. In other words, normal running.Īt 20% the machine is fully supporting your body. Then using this information the machine calibrates what is 100% pressure for your body. A great place in Orlando provided me a chance to test out the Alter G treadmill and learn more about this fancy, and very expensive, machine. This of course peaked my curiosity and in 2013 it lined up with some knee pain I was having. In fact, Amby Burfoot a well respected runner and author said, “The Alter G is the most significant advance in training equipment for distance runners in the last half century.” It allows anyone with an injury to resume or continue activity at their previous level of intensity with reduced impact to hips, knees and ankles. Exciting for most of us are new at home options, because the AlterG cost is far beyond other treadmills.įor many injured athletes, amputees, obese individuals and military vets the AlterG has become one of the best recovery tools available. Zero gravity treadmills have actually been in the elite physical therapy space for many years, but are slowly becoming more available. Have you heard about the treadmill that can make you weightless? Yup, an anti-gravity treadmill and you don’t have to go to space! Meet the AlterG treadmill and the new Lever Movement system for at home usage. The Chainsaw Blaster you receive fairly early on in the game comes with horrible aim and similarly poor feedback. The Chainsaw Dash, in which Starling turns into a flesh-shredding freight train, is used only for a handful of fast-paced traversal sections and provides little sense of impact when you actually collide with an enemy. Yet the new moves you unlock don't deliver that many interesting twists on the basic hacking and slashing, while the asides offered up often make things worse. It's a smart idea to offer light and heavy attacks in the form of a kind of weaponised pom-pom display that stuns foes and chainsaw lunges that can then efficiently decapitate them - and that good ol' fighting game hit-pause is as reliably motivating as ever. Be warned, though - such characterful animation is tied to a brawling system that's knockabout fun, perhaps, but is lacking much in the way of real flair. There's something deeply brilliant about the way Starling uses her cheer skills in such gruesome combat - hopping over baddies, backflipping between roundhouses and performing chants after a particularly memorable decapitation. On the battlefield, Lollipop Chainsaw is equally divided. Between Starling's youthful, fairly wholesome energy and some of the grottier intentions of the cut-scene direction, you get an uncomfortable blend of elements that comes off, well, a little like cheerleading can when it's out of the sports stadium and splashed across the internet.Ī mini-game might see you hopping on heads or playing Pac-Man inside a giant vector arena. That doesn't really counter the perviness, though, and for much of the running time the script seems peculiarly at odds with the sweaty visual presentation. It's true that most of the men you come across are pathetic freaks, and everyone else is a zombie waiting to be chainsawed into pieces. It's a bit annoying, then, that the game's always trying to disappear up her skirt or down her top, that other characters can't stop calling her a whore, and that the camera lingers and ogles whenever it gets a chance. What's more, Starling gets a thoughtful characterisation than goes beyond what most heroines could hope for. In a weird sort of way - even though it's set knee-sock-deep in rotting gristle and twinkling multiplier scores - it's a far more convincing depiction of a relationship than you expect from a video game. Meanwhile, Nick is both a straight man to Juliet and the stand-in for the befuddled audience: Zombie farmers? Zombie quarterbacks? What's happened to San Romero? Riddled with convincing quirks and warm humour, she's also surrounded by a supermodel rockabilly family that's every bit as engagingly nutty. Juliet is smart, breezy and confident, yet quietly prudish with it on occasion. It's the script that provides most of the real charm, however, drawing its lovesick leads with surprising bite, and offering everyone a selection of decent lines as the adventure rattles along. A little light cel-shading and handfuls of quirky, colourful effects do much to disguise the cheapness of the production. In its corner-cutting and jerry-rigging, it feels like a true punk aesthetic. Visually, Lollipop Chainsaw is appealingly ropey, with blurry, fairly simplistic assets, naff physics, and only Starling's astonishing animation standing out as she dispatches ghouls with star-jumps and spinning head-stand kicks. The couple - Juliet keeps Nick's head on a keychain tagged to her belt - bicker and flirt while she hands out gas-powered justice with a tree surgeon's favourite accessory, and he gets dropped onto headless zombies for the occasional rhythm action mini-game, or swings by in special attacks. With the undead spilling into town in unprecedented numbers, the stage is set for a weirdly romantic action game. The set-up is pure Buffy, as Juliet Starling admits to her - sadly decapitated - boyfriend Nick that she's a secret zombie slayer as well as a star cheerleader. It's typical Suda 51 stuff: a muddle of pop culture nods, scattershot puns and antic gore. This principle also promotes consistency and comparability in financial reporting, as it allows for easier analysis and evaluation of a company's financial performance and position over different periods. It ensures that financial statements reflect the actual costs incurred by the company to acquire its assets, rather than relying on subjective estimates or market values that may fluctuate over time. Definition: Historical cost measures provide monetary information about assets, liabilities and related income and expenses, using information derived, at. the original cash value at the time the asset. Further, the amount recorded will not be increased for inflation or improvements in. The cost principle requires that assets be recorded at the cash amount (or the equivalent) at the time that an asset is acquired. The historical cost principle shows the actual amount you paid for an asset, ensuring that an objective cost was recorded. It is also known as the historical cost principle. ![]() The historical cost principle is important because it provides a reliable and objective basis for valuing assets. According to the cost principle, transactions should be listed on financial records at historical cost i.e. The cost principle is one of the basic underlying guidelines in accounting. Why is the historical cost principle important? This includes the purchase price, any additional costs directly attributable to the acquisition (such as transportation or installation costs), and any other necessary expenses incurred to bring the asset to its present condition and location.ģ. According to the historical cost principle, assets should be reported in the balance sheet at their historical cost, regardless of any increase in their value. how much the raw materials can be sold for in.

Recording assets at the amount paid for them means that when a company acquires an asset, it should be recorded on the financial statements at the actual cost incurred to acquire it. Let’s assume that a company has purchased raw materials (i.e. ![]() What does it mean to record assets at the amount paid for them? If company XYZ can’t present proper receipts to the auditor, the objectivity principle. ![]() However, when the external auditor started to validate the records, he asked for receipts from customers to validate the Accounts receivable. The historical cost principle is an accounting principle that states that assets should be recorded on a company's financial statements at their original cost when they were acquired.Ģ. also known as the historical cost principle, states that everything the company owns or controls (assets) must be recorded at their value at the date of acquisition.

It was later cut into its distinctive 55-facet shape-a task that took three years because of the stone’s extraordinary toughness. The diamond was estimated to be more than 800 carats, equivalent to 160 grams, when it was purchased anonymously in the 1990s, according to the seller's representative. As scientists later realized, violent volcanic eruptions blasted these conduits to the surface, dragging the stones now known as kimberlite diamonds from deep underground with a surge of magma.įor the carbonados, Cartigny says, "we're basically back 150 years ago." Without a host rock, scientists can only search for clues in the odd features of the black diamonds themselves-but each one seems to tell a different story.īefitting its name, no one knows exactly where on Earth the Enigma comes from. Answers began to take shape in the 1870s when the diamonds were found embedded in vertical pipes of volcanic rock in the Kimberley area of South Africa. Through the millennia, wind and water have erased most other clues to the black diamonds’ origins, eroding the rocks that the gems formed in and scattering the grains along the shores of ancient rivers.Īround 150 years ago, a similar problem shrouded the origins of the type of diamond that is most commonly mined today, says Pierre Cartigny, a geochemist who specializes in diamonds at the Paris Globe Institute of Physics. Carbonados were most likely deposited when the two landmasses were joined as a single swath for more than a billion years, splitting into the paired locations after Earth's last supercontinent Pangea broke apart starting 180 million years ago. The carbonados at these two locations "are so similar in minute details” that they must be related, says Peter Heaney, a mineralogist at Pennsylvania State University. Decades later, carbonados also turned up in the Central African Republic-the only other place they've ever been found. Black diamonds were discovered in the 1840s by miners in eastern Brazil who named the minerals carbonado after the Portuguese word for burnt or carbonized. The story of these ultra-tough minerals unfolds in two spots on either side of the Atlantic Ocean. "There's no single model that explains everything," says Wuyi Wang, vice president of research and development at the Gemological Institute of America, who certified the Enigma as a natural carbonado. Carbonados have been used as drill bits that can puncture tough rock and with grinding wheels that sharpen tools.Ĭarbonado's many oddities have led to a slew of theories about their origin. Unlike the single crystals of traditional gem diamonds, carbonados are made up of an interlocking network of crystals, which imparts extra resistance to fracturing under pressure and makes them valuable as industrial abrasives. Until recently, though, carbonados were recognized not for their beauty but for their toughness. "This is a pretty honking big diamond," says Thomas Stachel, a mineralogist specializing in diamonds at the University of Alberta. And the Enigma itself is no small rock at nearly the size of a racquetball. ![]() The group includes the hulking 3,167-carat Brazilian carbonado known as Sergio-the largest diamond ever found. They are found in only two regions of the world-Brazil and the Central African Republic-and can grow astonishingly large. Jet black, opaque, and full of visible holes, carbonados have a unique combination of physical and chemical features unlike any other known diamonds. The Enigma and all other carbonado diamonds formed in a mysterious event some 3.8 to 2.6 billion years ago. The sale of this bizarre stone has reignited a long-simmering debate about where it came from, stoked by the controversial theory that it may have arrived from outer space. With a final closing bid of $ 4.28 million, an anonymous buyer just became the new owner of the 555.55-carat black diamond known as the Enigma. ![]() binascii.

Due to the fact that UTF-8 encoding is used by default in Python and is the most popular or even becoming a kind of standard, as well as making the assumption that other developers treat it the same way and do not forget to declare the encoding in the script header, we can say that almost all string handling.

Python leverages the old ASCII encoding scheme for bytes this sometimes. These examples uses ascii encoding, and a.

Pine has very low tannin levels, which explains why this method worked fine for us. Tannin levels vary from wood type, but woods with high tannin levels can have a chemical reaction when it comes in contact with baking soda. Baking soda reacts with the tannins in wood.

Its hardware can tackle anything from direction changes on a dime to the textures of all sorts of surfaces. But perhaps more impressively, this bag is a dream to handle, with its maneuverability earning a five out of five rating. We also love the capacity and the durability of this suitcase. ![]() In fact, after six months of regularly using the bag (and a bit of spot cleaning), the high-quality bag still looks brand new. The trompe l'oeil is forgivable, though, since polycarbonate is one of the most durable materials out there for hardside suitcases. Though it's made of polycarbonate, the shell almost looks like expensive aluminum. The first thing that caught our eye about this suitcase was its striking exterior. It ties for the second heaviest bag on this list.

Overall, the Samsonite Winfield hit all the marks for an exceptional checked suitcase for all kinds of travelers. Regarding the bag's interior, it has an expandable storage system, which includes one side with a zippered mesh barrier and one side with compression straps, so you can separate clean clothes from worn ones as the trip goes on.Īnd finally, this bag falls on the lower side of the mid-market price range, making it a reasonably affordable investment. The suitcase also has a smooth maneuverability over a variety of surfaces, including carpet and gravel. While the bag sustained no major damage like dents or gashes, it did scuff slightly, which was our only critique. It's exceptionally durable and breezed through our strenuous testing with hardly a scratch - the polycarbonate is designed to flex slightly to absorb impacts before popping back to its original form. Working our way from the outside in, the bag has a sleek polycarbonate exterior that comes in a variety of colors. We rated this hardside spinner suitcase an impressive 4.9 out of five, making it the top checked bag on our list. The shell scuffs pretty easily, though major damage is rare. |
