![]() Phase angle related issues also tended to be too much exaggerated as it really is mainly a thermal issue, that high phase angle means more "watts" dissipated in the output devices so beefy heat sinks and/or adequate use of fans should solve that in most cases (there are always exceptions.). So even to cover the rare 20 dB peaks, a real 100 WPC amp or at the most 200 WPC should have no issue in terms of real speaker load and test resistor load. I don't think I am the only one who find 70-75 dB average is quite loud so less than 0.5 WPC is enough for 89 dB/2.83V/m and 4 ohm nominal speakers sitting 12 ft from a single speaker. Hello Rich, I don't remember if I responded to this question here, or at ACR before so I may be repeating.Ĭlick to expand.I don't know about class D amps, for typical class AB amps, the talks of real load vs resistor test load are generally over exaggerated. It would be great if everyone clearly state the conditions of their measurements but unfortunately that seems like a very tall order. "Īgain, note that on ACR's chart, there was no mentioning of what kind of filter, or none, used., unless I missed something. "We like to see an amplifier be able to deliver at least 80 dB 1 watt to ensure it has a low enough noise floor to not mask subtle details of music when listening at low power levels. P2/P1 = P2, that is, the output level used for the measurement, andħ5 dB SNR may not be as bad as it looked as Amir did it using 22.5 kHz BW and did not mention what kind, if any, filter was used. P1 is Power output level used as reference, so if 1 W is the reference: P2 is Power output level for the measurement V2/V1 in dB = 20*Log10(V2/V1), and you can calculate V2/V1 easily because V2/V1 = SQRT(P2/P1) P2/P1 in dB = Log10(P2/P1), or if you prefer voltage: If the measured 100 dB was based on his dash board power output level at 5 W, then refer to 1 W by calculation: ![]() ![]() SNR is signal to noise ratio so if noise remain the same (again, worse case)then refer to 1 W by calculation: If it was at rated output of 300 W, then SNR of 100 dB, then worse (just my assumption) case scenario based on the same input signal: So we can reasonably assume he measured it at rated output of 300 W into 8 ohms, or 5 W per his typical "dash" board setting. ![]() "The Benchmark AHB2 gets my strongest recommendation.Click to expand.Hello Rich, I don't remember if I responded to this question here, or at ACR before so I may be repeating.Īmir does not always specify the power output level on his chart and in this case he has not. "The Benchmark AHB2 breaks new ground with respect to performance of power amplifiers." KellenVancouver, Forum Member Comments from Amir's AHB2 Test Report: "So far the only thing to displace a Benchmark product has been newer upgraded Benchmark products." "Been using Benchmark since the DAC1 came out." Rubinson, Forum Member, Stereophile Reviewer "I bought the AHB2s because I liked the sound from the get-go and the excellent measured performance was a great confirmation. "We know they are top of the heap in terms of measured performance, outdoing plenty of the competition in terms of typical distortion measurements." "I'm asking because clearly Benchmark is a highly regarded company here, and plenty of ASR members own Benchmark amplification/DACs." Read more from John Atkinson's test report on the AHB2 → Read more from Kalman Rubinson's review of the AHB2 → "In measuring the AHB2 and attempting to confirm its specified (very) high signal/noise ratio, JA observed nonlinearities in his testing equipment that "haven't affected the measured performance of other amplifiers I've tested, but they were detectable with the AHB2's very low intrinsic distortion and noise." His conclusion: "an extraordinary amplifier."" "An extraordinary amplifier"- John Atkinson, Stereophile Burdick, the engineer whose work formed the basis for its design, Benchmark's AHB2 makes use of THX Corporation's Achromatic Audio Amplifier (AAA) technology, in which a low-power feed-forward amplifier drives a low-bias class-AB output section." "In his listening tests KR discovered "much more apparent low-level detail in already-familiar recordings"-a characteristic he credited to the Benchmark's evident noiselessness-and a tonal balance that "sounded more 'right' than any of. The AHB2 received Stereophile's top "A" rating for power amplifiers. ![]() The instrument will begin full operations in October, collecting hourly daytime scans, the first instrument to observe pollution over North America in this way. ![]() Since launch, teams from NASA, Ball Aerospace, and SAO have been checking and calibrating the satellite’s systems and components. The TEMPO instrument was built by Ball Aerospace and integrated with the Maxar-built Intelsat 40e. There are already almost 50 science studies being planned that are based around this new way to collect data.” “It measures ozone, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, aerosols, water vapor, and several trace gases. “TEMPO is beginning to measure hourly daytime air pollution over greater North America,” said Kelly Chance, SAO senior physicist and TEMPO principal investigator. 2, when mission controllers opened the spectrometer to look at the Sun and Earth and start a variety of tests and solar calibrations. ![]() The data were gathered during TEMPO’s “first light” period from July 31 to Aug. from Los Angeles to Las Vegas from central and eastern Texas to New Orleans and the Interstate 95 corridor between New York and Washington.

TEMPO measures sunlight reflected and scattered off Earth’s surface, clouds, and atmosphere. The first pollution maps released by NASA from the mission show concentrations of nitrogen dioxide gas from pollution around cities and major transportation arteries of North America. The science mission is a collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The primary instrument is an advanced spectrometer that detects pollution normally hidden within reflected sunlight. Launched in April aboard a Maxar Intelsat 40e satellite on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, TEMPO makes hourly daytime scans of the lower atmosphere over North America from the Atlantic Ocean to Pacific coast and from roughly Mexico City to central Canada. Data will be shared with partner agencies that monitor and forecast air quality, such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In addition, TEMPO data will help scientists evaluate the health impacts of pollutants and aid in the creation of air pollution maps at the neighborhood scale, improving understanding of disparities in air quality within a community. Observations by TEMPO will significantly improve studies of pollution caused by rush-hour traffic, the movement of smoke and ash from forest fires and volcanoes, and the effects of fertilizer application on farmland. This pair of images shows nitrogen dioxide levels over the DC/Philadelphia/New York region at 12:14 and 4:24 p.m. NASA and the Biden-Harris Administration are committed to making it easier for everyday Americans and decisionmakers to access and use TEMPO data to monitor and improve the quality of the air we breathe, benefitting life here on Earth.” “This summer, millions of Americans felt firsthand the effect of smoke from forest fires on our health. “Neighborhoods and communities across the country will benefit from TEMPO’s game-changing data for decades to come,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. Data from the TEMPO mission will help decision makers across the country achieve that goal and support the Biden Administration’s climate agenda - the most robust climate agenda in history.įrom its orbit 22,000 miles above the equator, NASA’s TEMPO, or Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution, is the first space-based instrument designed to continuously measure air quality above North America with the resolution of a few square miles. President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that all people have a right to breathe clean air. On Thursday, NASA released the first data maps from its new instrument launched to space earlier this year, which now is successfully transmitting information about major air pollutants over North America. ![]() Even something as simple as using multiple monitors or watching a Bluray caused the 390X to use about 100 watts. In TechPowerUp’s review, the 390X consumed 344 watts on average in games, more than double that of the GTX 980 and almost 100 watts more than the 290X. The 390X could just barely catch up to Nvidia’s GTX 980 at resolutions higher than 1080p, but Nvidia’s new flagship GTX 980 Ti was almost 30% faster. The R9 290X was rebranded as the R9 390X, which launched in 2015, and while the 290X was fast in 2013, things had changed in 2015. The Radeon 300 series was not the first (nor the last) series to feature rebrands, but it has the unfortunate distinction of being a series of GPUs that was nothing but rebrands. With AMD stuck on TSMC’s 28nm node, the only thing it could really do was sell old GPUs as new GPUs - a tactic known as rebranding. Unfortunately, the years that followed weren’t so kind. ![]() There were disappointing cards like the HD 3000 and HD 6000 series, but nothing truly bad, while AMD’s 290X scored an impressive blow against Nvidia in 2013. We’re going to fast forward about a decade here, because, honestly, ATI and AMD (which acquired ATI in 2006) didn’t really make any particularly bad GPUs after the 8000 series. Radeon R9 390X A space heater that can also play games MSI ATI was able to claim victory with its next generation Radeon 9000 series, however, so you could argue Radeon 8000 limped so Radeon 9000 could run. It could have been much more than just another midrange GPU with all that untapped horsepower. There have been plenty of other AMD or ATI GPUs with terrible driver support (the RX 5000 series was particularly buggy for some), but the 8500 is easily the most heartbreaking. The fact that the 8500 had so much potential is what makes this situation even more depressing. Unfortunately, this was not enough to turn the 8500 into a true competitor against Nvidia’s flagship GPUs. The situation was so severe that ATI promised it would be releasing new drivers as quickly as every two weeks. Theoretically, if the 8500 had better software level optimization for games, it would have been able to stand toe to toe with the Ti 500. The 8500 did quite well in synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark 2001, where it beat the Ti 500, but in actual games, it fell noticeably behind. Ultimately, bad drivers doomed the 8500 and ATI’s desire to beat Nvidia. It was not quite the flagship reviewers were hoping for, as Anandtech noted that even at $250, the 8500 could only match Nvidia’s GeForce3 Ti 200, which cost under $200. On paper, the 8500 should have beaten the Ti 500 by at least a small margin, if not a noticeably large one. Well, in the actual benchmarks, the 8500 was significantly behind the Ti 500, and sometimes it was just half as fast.

You can also use this box for other home-related expenses like storage rental fees, monthly pet fees, parking fees, or any costs that aren’t otherwise covered in this section of the budget maker. Have a yard full of pink plastic flamingos because you’ll never answer to a HOA? Leave the box blank. HOA Fees: If your neighborhood has a HOA, you need to make sure you account for your fees in the budget calculator. If you own your home and your property taxes are not included in your mortgage payment, divide those taxes by 12 and add it to your mortgage - the goal is to ensure that your property taxes are covered in your monthly budget. Enter the amount of your monthly mortgage payment in the mortgage box, or the amount of your monthly rent in the rent box of the budget calculator. Mortgage or Rent: Whether you own or rent, you’ll need to factor in your housing expenses. Others, like groceries and entertainment expenses, will be estimates. ![]() Some of these costs, like rent and car payments, will be specific numbers. Once you’ve figured out how much money you’re bringing in each month after taxes, you’ll need to figure out how much you need to spend on your monthly expenses. Step 2: How to determine and enter monthly expenses You can also use this section to add a second income if you’d like to create a joint budget. If you have additional income such as a side hustle, or you receive child support, alimony, or other supplemental income, add that monthly amount under Other Income. If the last 3 months were unusually high or low, add up all your deposits for the past year instead and divide by 12 to get a better average. Enter that amount in the budget calculator. If your income changes from month to month, add up your total monthly deposits for the last 3 months and divide that number by 3 to get a baseline monthly estimate.If you get paid every other week, multiply your take-home amount by 26 for the number of checks you get each year, and then divide by 12 to get your monthly take-home pay.If you get paid twice a month, add the take-home amount of your two checks together and enter that amount.If you get paid a regular check once a month, enter your net income after deductions each paycheck.To determine what to enter under Salary/Wages in the budget calculator, follow these steps: Remember, this is the amount you can spend every month, so be sure to use your net income - which is the money you’re left with after taxes and deductions for things like health insurance and your 401(k), not your gross income, which is your total pay before any deductions.

He whispers in our ears all the negative aspects of a day, which can easily lead to anxiety and worry. And that is exactly what the devil wants. When we worry, we are draining ourselves, leaving us tired and weary. It is easy to worry and focus on the things going wrong rather than the things going right. And in the end, it will lead to a remarkable gift. I know it’s hard, but trusting Him brings us one step closer to Him and where we need to be. Instead of focusing on fear, try to focus on trusting Him. If we’re too afraid to do what God has commanded us to do, we might not get to this place where He needs us to be. But it’s important to remember who we’re living for and why. Not everything goes as planned and it shakes us up. I think it’s easier to say we all get a little fearful in life. Do not be afraid do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

While dreams can and do occur during other sleep stages, most dreaming and the vivid dreams that we remember happen during REM sleep. Heartbeat and blood pressure also return close to waking levels, and breathing becomes faster and more irregular, as opposed to the slow, rhythmic breathing of deep sleep.Īs mentioned in reference to eye movement, REM sleep is the stage of dreaming. Interestingly, studies suggest that these eye movements are connected with visual processing while dreaming, with eye movements corresponding with seeing a new mental image, so our eyes moving are likely us “seeing” things as we dream.ĭuring REM sleep, brain activity increases, with wave activity closer to waking levels than in the other stages of sleep. REM sleep is characterized by the rapid flickering movement of the eyes that gives it its name. REM sleep makes up about 20% of total sleep time in adults, and 50% for babies. On average, we’ll go through 3 to 6 REM stages each night, and each REM stage gets longer in later cycles the last REM stage can last an hour. We usually finally reach REM sleep about 90 minutes after falling asleep. It is a myth that our need for sleep decreases as we get older, but we get less deep sleep - some older adults may have no measured NREM 3 sleep, but this is not abnormal. This deep sleep stage is where rejuvenation occurs and is what allows you to wake up feeling refreshed.ĭuring NREM 3, sleep muscle and tissue repair occur, growth and development are stimulated, immune function is boosted, and energy for the following day is built up. The body is far less responsive to outside stimuli - it is hardest to rouse someone in this sleep stage.Įven though the muscles are generally completely relaxed, sleepwalking is most common during NREM 3 sleep. It is during this stage of deep sleep that heartbeat and breathing drop to their lowest levels, and muscles are at complete relaxation. This is why NREM 3 is also known as Slow-Wave Sleep (SWS). It will last anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes during the first sleep cycle, and each stage gets shorter during subsequent cycles.ĭuring NREM 3 sleep, the brain produces a very slow Delta wave activity. ![]() This is also the stage associated the most with dreaming, which we will get to a bit further on. This stage of sleep is also accompanied by the eye movement that gives this sleep stage its name. NREM sleep can be broken down into three distinct stages (it was formerly four, but stages 3 & 4 have since officially been combined into one) and are characterized by the slowing down and synchronization of brainwaves.ĭuring stage 3, the deepest sleep, brain waves are very large and slow (high amplitude, low frequency).ĭuring REM, or active sleep, brain waves are small and fast (low amplitude, high frequency). The invention of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in 1929 allowed scientists to “take a picture” of the brain’s electrical activity and proved that far from shutting down, the brain is at times highly active during sleep.įurther studies that measured eye movement and muscle activity along with brain activity resulted in the discovery of two types of sleep - Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Prior to this era, scientists believed that the brain essentially “shut down” during sleep that brain function diminished along with sensory inputs while we sleep. The study of sleep and what we know about it has a relatively short history, with modern sleep research only really beginning in the 1920s. ![]() the body’s biological sleep mechanisms and circadian rhythmīy the time you’ve read this guide, you’ll have a deeper appreciation for sleep and why it’s so important to ensure you’re getting both enough sleep and good quality sleep.what happens inside your brain while you’re asleep, or dreaming.the different stages of sleep and sleep cycles.This guide is going to give you a good understanding of: It might seem like our body just kind of shuts down and goes into rest and recovery mode, but the human body, and especially the brain, is wonderfully complex and more active than you’re probably aware while sleeping.
