![]() ![]() The most famous automaton in history was an “impostor.” In 1769, the Hungarian aristocrat Wolfgang von Kempelen made an imposing wooden bust of a chess player, known today as the Turk for its attire. As the pegs responsible for the musical notes could be exchanged for different ones in order to interpret another melody, it is considered one of the first programmable machines in history. ![]() Credit: Freer Gallery of ArtĪs the water flowed, it started a rotating drum with pegs that, in turn, moved levers whose movement produced different sounds and movements. The Al-Jazari orchestra, one of the earliest examples of known automatons. This latter invention was meant to liven up parties and banquets with music while floating on a pond, lake or fountain. In 1206, the Arab polymath Al-Jazari, whose creations were known for their sophistication, described some of his most notable automatons: an automatic wine dispenser, a soap and towels dispenser and an orchestra-automaton that operated by the force of water. The earliest examples of known automatons appeared in the Islamic world in the 12th and 13th centuries. Some of the greatest inventors in history, such as Leonardo Da Vinci, have contributed to our fascination with these fabulous creations: The Al-Jazari automatons But their predecessors, the automatons (from the Greek automata, or “mechanical device that works by itself”), have been the object of desire and fascination since antiquity. The idea was introduced in 1921 by the Czech writer Karel Capek in his work R.U.R to designate a machine that performs tasks in place of man. The concept of robot is relatively recent. ![]() ![]() In 1992, four teen girls tortured and killed 12-year-old Shanda Sharer. This week on ISGD Podcast, Stacey tells us about the horrific murder of Shanda Sharer, a 12 year old girl from Madison, Indiana who was tortured to death by. Melinda Loveless, 17, Laurie Tackett, 17, Hope Rippey, 16, and Toni Lawrence, 16, plotted to murder Shanda as retaliation for Shanda dating Loveless’s ex-girlfriend, Amanda Heavrin. Shanda Sharer was once a popular and bubbly Hazelwood Middle Schoolgirl. The Indiana teens picked up Shanda under the ruse Amanda was at an abandoned property near the Ohio River. After Loveless threatened Shanda with a knife, the foursome tied her up. Subsequently, the teens beat, strangled, and stabbed Shanda. 10, 1992, Loveless enlisted three friends Laurie Tackett (17), Hope Rippey (15), and Toni Lawrence (15) to help her take her revenge on Shanda Sharer. They forced her into the trunk of the car and moved her to another location. The foursome drove to where Sharer was spending the weekend with her father. The girls, minus Lawrence, then carried Shanda to a field and burned her alive. Prosecutors maintained the motive for the murder was jealousy - the same motive identified in the 2003 ‘ Miss Irresistible’ murders. In October of that year, the pair attended a school dance together. Sharer and Heavrin became fast friends and then romantic partners. Melinda Loveless, 17, was sentenced to 60 years in prison in 1992 for the murder of Shanda Renee Sharer, a 12-year-old girl who was tortured and burned to. Shanda Sharer met classmate Amanda Heavrin at Hazelwood in 1991, soon after moving to the area with her recently divorced mother from Kentucky. Jefferson County courts tried the four teens as adults. They accepted plea bargains to avoid the death penalty and pled guilty to counts of murder, arson, and criminal confinement. Loveless is eligible for release in 2019, after serving approximately 25 years of a 60-year sentence.Īlthough the courts considered the mitigating factors of the four teens’ backgrounds, the Indiana Supreme Court would not overturn Loveless and Tackett’s sentences during a 1994 appeal. Melinda Loveless, the 17-year-old ringleader of the girls who murdered Shanda, reportedly had a tumultuous upbringing. Loveless's father routinely raped her mother while she and her sisters listened, and he allegedly molested each of his daughters. Laurie Tackett was also 17 years old when she helped murder Shanda. Tackett grew up in a strict Pentecostal home. Child services had to intervene when Tackett’s mother strangled her for changing into jeans at school. Tackett was in and out of the hospital for committing self-harm on multiple occasions. ![]() She dropped out of high school and met Loveless in Louisville, KY. Tackett, Rippey, and Lawrence were childhood friends from Madison. The teens engaged in self-harm, drinking, and drug use. ![]() ![]() ![]() As their power grows, players can eventually join in a country wide war for the Crown. ![]() Starting out as a humble peasant, each promotion brings research points to spend on becoming the best in as many areas as you wish, trading, diplomacy, warfare, farming and more, as the player seeks to control the local parish, county and beyond.

I currently use the hair system created by Mikexx2. There are many different hair systems out there. ![]() Hair is probably the trickiest custom content to use if you want it all to match and/or replace the Maxis hair. I recommend testing them in-game in a testing neighborhood to make sure you like them first. Custom skins are a bit different and might cause problems if you remove them while Sims are using them (so choose these wisely). You can easily remove and change them at any time. ![]() If you don’t like a default replacement skin, don’t worry. Sims 2 Default Database Skins – A large selection of default replacement skins in all styles.I use these when I want to play with realistic CC. WhySim Spooky Dip Skins – Beautiful but very realistic, shiny skins.I used these for years when I was a hardcore MM player. Correlated Skins – These skins add body hair to the male skins and are as Maxis Match as you can get.Here are some others that you might want to check out: This Sim has custom skin, eyes, and hair. The defaults replace the four Maxis skintones and the geneticized custom skins add more skin colors to my game. I use both the defaults AND the geneticized/townified custom additions. My current favorite is Lilith’s Honey Honey skinblend. It just depends on your personal style and preference. As with all other CC, you can find very Maxis Match skins and very realistic looking skins. Custom SkinĬustom skin is another way to improve the look of your Sims. Townified simply means townies and NPCs randomly generated by the game will also use them. What are geneticized and townified eyes? Geneticized eyes are custom eyes that are passed on genetically and work within the range of genetic inheritance in The Sims 2. Default eyes are genetic and used by the game just the same as the original Maxis eyes. What are default replacement eyes? Just like with all other custom content, default replacements REPLACE the Maxis versions. If you don’t want custom colors, you can always just stick to defaults that only replace the Maxis eyes. If you’re interested in genetics and breeding your Sims, I recommend finding a set of eyes (like Plain & Simple) that include both defaults AND a set of geneticized/townified custom colors. I use both the defaults AND the geneticized and townified eyes to add more eye colors to my game. But my current favorites are Poppet’s Plain & Simple Eyes. I started with Bruno’s Behind These Eyes Maxified (great for a Maxis Match style). There are tons of options out there no matter what your style – from Maxis Match to realistic. Custom EyesĮyes were the first default replacements I ever experimented with in The Sims 2, and now I can never go back to the Maxis eyes. ![]() I also recommend downloading the Argon archfix mod, which fixes the broken Maxis face templates for faces #21 & #25 – allowing them to appear for all ages and to pass on the appropriate genetics. But I personally find it easiest to just use a complete matching set that contains all 27 faces (like the ones I listed above). You can pick and choose and mix together from multiple sets. NOTE: You can only have ONE replacement face template for each face in your game at a time. Below, you can see the difference between the Maxis 01 Face and the same face using Mina’s 27 Face Templates. My favorites are Mina’s 27 face templates. I highly recommend everyone have a set of replacement faces in their game because the Maxis ones can be a bit fugly (in my opinion).Įven if you’re a hardcore Maxis Match player who loves the way the Maxis Sims look, you can still find a set of face templates that work (and make a big improvement). They change the shape of your Sims’ faces. Face Templatesįace templates are the most important of all the custom content you could install for creating your Sims. I briefly covered these in part 1 of this tutorial, but for the sake of completeness, we’ll touch on it here too. Now, let’s talk about the different kinds of custom content you might want to use for this process.
![]() Never adjust the trimmer at the port where the load is removed. Then, load 2 is removed and the trimmer at port 5 is adjusted for maximum isolation. First, load 1 is removed, and the trimmer at port 6 is adjusted for maximum isolation (deepest null). ![]() The reverse response or isolation tuning is done using the setup shown in Figure 6. Check the insertion loss at the operating frequency against the manufacturer’s specifications. The forward response of the isolator is very broadband. The peak of the response should be at the operating frequency, and the curve should be symmetrical. The forward response of the isolator is tuned by adjusting the trimmers at ports 1, 2, 3 and 4. The situation gets more interesting when a dual isolator is tuned (Figure 5). The logarithmic display of the spectrum analyzer/tracking generator allows much greater range for tuning the isolator for maximum isolation. Obviously, the wattmeter element would have to be very sensitive in order to get a sufficient reading to properly tune port 3 for the deepest null.Ī better way to tune port 3 for maximum isolation is shown in Figure 4. If the transmitter output power is 100 watts, then the power appearing at port 2 will only be 0.1 watts or 100 milliwatts. Suppose that the isolator has an isolation of 30 decibels. Actually, when using this method, tuning the isolator to the deepest null may be difficult, at best. Also, when using the setup in 3B, it may be necessary to use a low-power element in the wattmeter to tune for minimum power. Using the setup at B, it is important that the transmitter power not exceed the power rating of the dummy load connected to port 3 of the isolator. Using the setup in 3B, the load port (3) is tuned for minimum power on the wattmeter. Using the setup in Figure 3A, the input and output ports (1 and 2) are tuned for maximum power on the wattmeter. A through-line wattmeter is connected between the output port of the isolator and a 50-ohm dummy load. ![]() This ensures that the reflected signal at the reflected port of the RLB is caused predominately by the mismatch at port 1 of the isolator and not by any reflected signal from the output port of the isolator.Ī simple method of tuning a single isolator is shown in Figure 3. It is important to terminate the output of the isolator with a 50-ohm dummy load. The test setup for using this method to tune the input port is shown in Figure 2. One method of tuning the input port is to use a return loss bridge (RLB). There will always be some residual reflected power at the input port, even when the load connected to the output port (port 2) is a perfect 50-ohm load. It is important that the trimmer at the input port (port 1) is tuned for minimum reflected power at port 1 so that the transmitter “sees” very little reflected power. Any reflected power at port 3 will be transferred back to port 1, the input port. Any reverse or reflected power flow will be dumped into the RF dummy load at port 3. The arrow indicates forward flow of RF power. The objective is to tune the isolator so it presents the minimum insertion loss in the forward direction and maximum insertion loss (isolation) in the reverse direction.įigure 1 shows a block diagram of a simple single isolator. Preferably, the isolator should be tuned in its final installed position. Several techniques can be used, depending upon the type of test equipment available. ![]() This article focuses on the proper tuning of the RF isolator. Last month, the operation of RF isolators was discussed in detail. ![]() ![]() ![]() This clear gel nail polish must be cured under an LED/UV light for 30-60 seconds before each coat is applied and dried for 60 seconds.
