Define power of ten5/1/2023 ![]() ![]() When we go from nine to three, divide by three, so based We divided by three, and that makes sense,īecause we're multiplying by one less three, so we divide by three to go from 81 to 27, weĭivide by three again if our exponent goes down by one, and we divide by three again What happened to the value? Well, going from 81 to 27, ![]() ![]() Do you notice a pattern every time we decrease the exponent here by one? We want three to the fourth, and now we go three to the third. If I said three to the third power, that's three times three The fourth power, that's three times three times three times three which is going to be equal to 81, and let me just write down that this is going to be equal to 81. Let's say we have three and I could say three to So does this make sense that two to the zero power is equal to one? Well, let's think about it another way, and let's do a different base. We're not gonna multiply it by any two, so we're just With a one and you multiply it by the base zero times, so Well, the way we just talkedĪbout it, we just said exponentiation is you start If you were the mathematics community, how would you define two to the zero power so it is consistent withĮverything that we just saw. Of what an exponent is, what would two to the zeroth power be? I encourage you to just thinkĪbout that a little bit. Now let's ask ourselfĪn interesting question. What would two to the first power be? Well, that would be one, and we would multiply it by one two, one times two, which, of course, is equal to two. This definition I just did, what would two to the second power be? Well, this would be one times two twice, so one times two times two, which, of course, would be equal to four. Go with this definition right over here, and this, of course, is going to be equal to eight. Multiplying it by two three times, so actually, let's just Say this is the same thing as taking a one and then So two times two times two, or equivalently, we could Like two to the third power, we could view this as taking three twos and multiplying them together, ![]()

Super monkey ball banana mania mode5/1/2023 ![]() SMB2's story wasn't exactly a narrative triumph, but the Banana Mania approach sucks out all of the silly charm the story once held. The story mode from Super Monkey Ball 2, which was told through in-engine cutscenes in the original games, has been replaced with awful, cheap-looking animations of still character cut-outs. Unfortunately, it does feel like corners were cut in some places. ![]() They're all excellent crowd-pleasers that don't take long to set up or play and have very broad appeal-though, sadly, they can't be played online.īetween the hundreds of stages, the minigames, and unlockable modes, there's a lot packed into Banana Mania. They're not just fleeting diversions from the main game, either-many of the party games are surprisingly robust and replayable while still maintaining the simplistic, easy-to-learn charm of the main mode. These party games can be played with up to four people, and each one includes a variety of options and game modes to enjoy. Party minigames have also featured heavily in previous Super Monkey Ball titles, and all of the favorites from Super Monkey Ball 2 are here from the start, including Monkey Target, Monkey Billiards, Monkey Dogfight, and Monkey Tennis-among numerous others. The mix of unlockable characters includes more monkeys and the main simian cast in goofy costumes, but also offers a fun selection of Sega cameos like Sonic and Tails, Jet Set Radio's Beat, and even Yakuza's Kazuma Kiryu. New modes include reverse-stage mode, where you must roll back to the stage's beginning from the goal point, a "Dark Banana" mode where you have to navigate stages while dodging rotten fruit, and a "Golden Banana" mode where you collect all of the bananas in a set of levels. Collecting bananas and clearing both stages and challenges will earn points you can spend to unlock game modes, characters, cosmetic flourishes, and other add-ons. ![]() Harsh, but sometimes it's preferable to just move along and come back later when you're not on tilt.īesides the visual overhaul and the quality-of-life enhancements, Banana Mania also comes with a smattering of unlockable goodies. Finally, if there's a level that is walling you from progress, regardless of how many helper functions you enable, you can choose to skip it and move on-though you'll forfeit rewards in the process. An arrow cursor shows you which way you're tilting the analog stick, letting you know if that run you're doing isn't quite as straight as you think it is. An unlockable jump functionality gives you a precious bit of additional control over your character, though turning it on will also disqualify you from online rankings. It's a nice way to keep things from getting too frustrating while encouraging players to attempt a tougher challenge later.īesides Helper Mode, Banana Mania also provides players with other options to surmount some of Super Monkey Ball's more insidious challenges. Turning on Helper Mode also disqualifies you from the online leaderboard rankings and prevents the game from saving your score. Since lives and continues are no more, Banana Mania instead rewards you with EX levels for completing a gauntlet of stages without the use of Helper Mode, encouraging you to finish those tough stages without additional assistance. In the older games, you'd need to complete a set of stages without using a continue to unlock the hidden EX levels. There's a catch to using the Helper Mode. It's a nice form of "training wheels" for getting a handle on some of the more difficult stages that doesn't go completely overboard in holding your hand-though the game pestering you about turning on Helper Mode on each stage you fall out of more than a few times grows old very fast. ![]() You are also given the option of a Helper Mode system, which doubles your time, shows you an ideal path through the level, and enables a slow-motion feature should you choose to turn it on. Instead, you have infinite tries to work out each level, though you'll still need to restart from the beginning should your monkey roll out of bounds. Gone are the lives and continues of previous Super Monkey Ball games, removing a source of pressure and frustration. However, Sega has also seen fit to update elements of the gameplay to broaden Super Monkey Ball's already wide appeal. And, really, that would be fine on its own, as the engaging, pick-up-and-play charm of rolling a cartoon monkey around various imaginative challenges remains every bit as fun now as it was two decades prior. The gameplay and stage layouts, with a few exceptions, remain the same as they were 20 years ago, but now in crisp and shiny high resolution. ![]() Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is, at its core, a repackaging of the GameCube's Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 (including a smattering of extra stages from the PS2/Xbox title Super Monkey Ball Deluxe) with a fresh coat of paint. ![]() Logitech media server 7.95/1/2023 ![]() ![]() Other than this OMV has been rock solid and done everything I've asked of it very impressed so far.

The Chronomat was a worthy forerunner to the Navitimer, and the uninitiated can perhaps be forgiven for believing it’s an early version. That honor belongs to Breitling’s Chronomat, released in 1942. The Navitimer (the name is an assemblage of “navigation” and “timer”) was not the first slide rule watch. This slide rule bezel has been present on almost every Navitimer Breitling has ever produced and is typically considered at the heart of this tool watch’s incredible popularity. That bit about calculations would be in reference to the Navitimer’s most recognizable feature, the “navigation computer” - a circular slide rule located on the rotating bezel that a pilot can use to handle all the calculations they need to make when planning a flight (airspeed, rate/time of climb/descent, flight time, distance, and fuel consumption functions, plus kilometer-nautical mile and gallon-liter fuel conversion functions). That brief anecdote may tell you something about how the Breitling Navitimer is viewed by the guys who fly jets for a living. Why am I telling you this? Because when he was asked about the prominent Breitling on his wrist, he replied, “I need a Navitimer so I can do my calculations!” (emphasis his). In fact, at one point he ran the test pilot office at Edwards Air Force Base, and retired a full bird colonel. ![]() My cousin’s husband used to be a test pilot in the U.S. Welcome to Watches You Should Know, a biweekly column highlighting little-known watches with interesting backstories and unexpected influence. ![]() Gmc suv models4/30/2023 ![]() ![]() If your budget allows, consider the outdoorsy AT4 trim which slots just above the two lower trims and beneath the Denali in terms of cost. ![]() It includes Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Departure Warning.

The two lower trims, the Elevation Standard and Elevation, offer an available Bose Premium Audio System for upscale sound quality and a High Elevation Package for more cabin luxuries like power-adjustable driver lumbar support and heated front seats. Though, go with the 2.8-liter Duramax if you need more horsepower at lower rpms. With the 3.6-liter V6 engine under the hood, this truck outputs 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. The 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 Off-Road Performance EditionĪ starting price of $26,800 makes the Canyon a smart buy if you need a low-priced truck with a rewarding mix of versatility, efficiency, and cabin tech. Keyless Open, cruise control, and a hands-free liftgate (offered on the SLT trim) are three additional features that make daily life easier. These two trims come with 4G Wi-Fi hotspot capability as well as Bluetooth and AppleCarPlay and Android Auto compatibility to keep passengers engaged. The SLE and SLT lower trims deliver a plethora of tech and convenience perks for less stressful travel no matter where the road takes you. This suite includes Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. GMC has incorporated GMC Pro Safety, a core of safety features that come on each trim, to boost your confidence at no extra expense.
