![]() The tour’s title is derived from both their new album and their new ZZ Top Tres Hombres Whisky offered from Balcones Distilling recently launched in Texas. The classic rockers have announced their Raw Whisky Tour, a 50+ date North American tour that launches at the end of May and continues through the summer and into the fall. “The Gruene Hall session was a satisfying return to our roots and a very special circumstance that we’re delighted to share with the friends and fans who have stuck with us all this time.” “‘Brown Sugar’ has been sweetening our concert sets for many decades now, so it seemed like the right song to kick off Raw,” Gibbons shares. The album is issued “in righteous memory” of Dusty Hill who passed away last year. ![]() The album was produced by Billy F Gibbons, engineered by Jake Mann and GL G-Mane Moon and mixed by Ryan Hewitt. ZZ Top tabs, chords, guitar, bass, ukulele chords, power tabs and guitar pro tabs including cheap sunglasses, blue jean blues, a fool for your stockings, beer drinkers and hell raisers, brown sugar. Raw, the totality of their efforts there, will be available on 180-gram vinyl, CD and through digital platforms.

When the three members of ZZ Top gathered at Gruene Hall, they were in each other’s line-of-sight, making for a very organic recording session, part of which is seen in the film. Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard and the late Dusty Hill gathered there to record in a spare, bare bones way and the result of those efforts is “Brown Sugar” along with eleven additional tracks that comprise the Raw tune stack. ![]() The historic venue dates to 1878 and has been in continuous use as the oldest, continually operating joint in the state. Raw was recorded and filmed for the Grammy-nominated Netflix documentary, That Little Ol’ Band From Texas, in the intimate setting of the famed Texas honky-tonk, Gruene Hall between Austin and San Antonio. ZZ Top’s “Brown Sugar,” penned by Billy F Gibbons, should not be mistaken for the Rolling Stones song of the same title, the latter of which was actually released three months after ZZ Top’s First Album. The new version is the opening track on Raw, which itself is an homage to the band’s early days. “ Brown Sugar” was a key cut on the very appropriately titled ZZ Top’s First Album that was released in January of 1971. ZZ Top has reached back to its very early days with the first track to be released from their forthcoming Raw album, out July 22nd from Shelter Records through BMG.

If you do bring your bike in at the end of the day don’t then go demanding to have it back on an unrealistic timeline because you need by the weekend. Going into a shop at the very end of the day is sometimes unavoidable when you are rushing home from the office but if you can avoid keeping the folks at the shop at work for any longer. Nobody likes it when a big task ends up on their desk at the end of the workday and such is true for bike mechanis as well who during spring are already pulling long days because of the influx of bikes.

That’s also just 12% behind the RTX 2070 Super, which was a $500 at launch. The EVGA RTX 3060 benchmarked quite nicely, slotting in around 14% behind the RTX 3060 Ti. I ran the GPU through 3DMark Time Spy, Civilization VI, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Battlefield V, and Fortnite. I tested the EVGA RTX 3060 XC in a test system with the Intel Core i7-10700, 16GB of RAM, a 650-watt power supply, and a 512GB M.2 SSD. If the RTX 3060 can deliver on the potential of its CUDA core count and 12GB of RAM in a $329 package, Nvidia might have another serious winner on its hands. That also means you can save a bit of cash on your power supply, as Nvidia recommends you can get away with just a 550-watt power supply instead of a 600-watt one. Lastly, the RTX 3060 is rated at 170 watts of power consumption, five watts less than the RTX 2060 Super and 30 watts less than the RTX 3060 Ti. The RTX 3060 is based on the GA106, meanwhile. Now, the RTX 3060 Ti and 3070 are based on the same GA104 graphics processor, which explains why their performance was fairly close. It’s also rated at a 170-watt power envelope, which is five watts less than the RTX 2060 Super. That’s a strange feature for a midrange gaming GPU. It has a whopping 12GB of GDDR6 video memory, which is even more than the RTX 3080. The TDP and memory are also key specifications for the RTX 3060 that should play into performance. Meanwhile, the RTX 3060 has 39% more CUDA cores than the RTX 2060 Super. The impressive RTX 3060 Ti has 26% more CUDA cores than the RTX 3060. Based on Nvidia Ampere architecture and Samsung’s 8nm node, the RTX 3060 has all the improvements to efficiency under the hood, as well as support for ray tracing and DLSS, of course.īut how does it compare to the RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 2060 Super, and other cards? Here are the specs: When you consider the performance potential of the RTX 3060, that’s impressive. It’s also $70 cheaper than the RTX 3060 Ti, which puts it squarely in midrange territory. Importantly, it’s also $20 cheaper than its predecessor, the RTX 2060 Super. The RTX 3060 starts at $329 - which is only $30 more expensive than the GTX 1060. If we’re talking about the 6GB version of the GTX 1060, Nvidia might be right. Just as the GTX 1060 had powered all the new games at 1080p/60, the RTX 3060 brings modern 1080p gaming to users.” Nvidia calls it the “ultimate upgrade for GTX 1060 gamers. Judging by the name, you might think the RTX 3060 is a 2021 successor to the 1060. At $200 (or $299 for the Founders Edition of the 6GB model), the GTX 1060 became the standard for midrange PC gaming, and no card since has managed to capture its lightning-in-a-bottle success. It’s from 2016, and it’s still the most common graphics card you’ll find used in Steam hardware surveys. Specsīoth AMD and Nvidia often like to talk about recapturing the popularity of the GTX 1060. On back, you’ll find three DisplayPort 1.4b interfaces and an HDMI 2.1 port, giving you plenty of options for powering up to four displays at up to 4K resolution at 120Hz. It would be a good choice for smaller micro ITX builds where space is limited. It’s a 2-slot thermal solution that’s identical in size to the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070, though it’s only one of many third-party cards that will be available. Of course, what you give up in beauty with partner models, you gain in cooling performance. The good news? It uses a standard 8-pin power connector, unlike the odd 12-pin connectors found in the Founders Edition that require an adapter. ![]() You’ll have to pay $60 more if you want a model with a backplate. It’s not ugly, but it lacks a backplate, the shroud is entirely plastic, and you won’t find much in the way of lighting. Unfortunately, the EVGA RTX 3060 XC Black graphics card I received as a review unit isn’t as much of a looker. With the gorgeous redesign of the 30-series cards, that’s a shame. Not only do these “Founders Edition” models set a good standard for pricing, they also are the prettiest graphics card you can buy. Nvidia isn’t releasing a first-party version of the RTX 3060. The good news? If you are able to snag one, you’ll be very pleased by the massive upgrade it will offer to your rig. ![]() I hope the new GeForce RTX 3060 gets into more gamers’ hands, but there’s no guarantee. The confluence of supply limitations, another explosion in crypto mining, and unexpectedly huge demand have made it nearly impossible to buy one of these new graphics cards. ![]() Add the image placeholder to the frame by simply clicking the frame and then clicking the data field title. InDesign will automatically link to that image. As part of the CSV we imported an image link. We also want to add an image to our design. #8 Optional: Put in an image – generic image sizing can be applied at the data merge.

Now start adding the data field titles to the design. #6 Put your data field titles in the design – make sure it’s on one page only. There should now be a list of data field titles. Click the further options button and click “Select Data Source”.įrom here select the CSV file and click open. #5 Select CSV file to be merged in InDesignĪlong the top menu, go to Window – Utilities – Data Merge and a new panel should pop up. We want the text to flow downwards so also select the arrow pointing downwards underneath the Auto-Sizing drop down. To do this we go to Text Frame options – Auto size and select (for the purpose of this design) Height only. InDesign can adjust the size of the text box so that no text becomes overset. For example Project 1 has a short project description and Project 2 has a long project description. The content from the excel file that we are using has variable content length. This is accessible from the top menu under Object – Text Frame options. Text Frame Options contains a few features such as Column width flexibility, balancing, Inset Spacing, Vertical Justification, Baseline options and Auto-Sizing. #4 Optional: Change any text boxes to Auto size height, width or both under text frame options. Finally make sure to group everything so the design layout is maintained. Make sure to use paragraph styles and character styles to allow changes to be made in future updates to the document. So use text boxes, tables, image boxes, lines, colour etc. At this step we just want to create the design and layout. The data merge design is something that will take tweaking to get right. #3 Set up your data merge design – use paragraph and character styles to make changes later on easier. Anything that is going to be data merged needs to be on the main page otherwise it won’t work. You can use master pages for the layouts and content you don’t want duplicated on the same page. #2 Open up your prepared InDesign file – this should include your designed master pages. If not the different sheets will be separate CSV files. If you have multiple sheets of data try and consolidate them to one. Make sure you have your headings across the top and records underneath as shown.Įxport your data to a CSV format (comma delimited file). To data merge an image we need to place the link to the image in the CSV file and provide the heading In Excel this should be typed as The ‘ provides a resolution to an Excel bug where it doesn’t recognise by itself. This could be an introduction or an image etc. In this example I am using Microsoft Excel in Windows however, these steps should be similar to Numbers in Mac OS.Īdd any data you’ll need in the data merge onto the spread sheet.įor any content you do not want duplicated on the page, add it to the master page. #1 Get all the dynamic information in a CSV file So if there are page elements you want on the pages that don’t need to be part of the merge, move them to the master page. If the other objects on your page prevent more than one record from fitting (such as a big background image), data merge will behave as if it’s producing a single record layout because the document can’t accommodate more than one record per page. Everything on the document page – even if it has no data placeholders in it – will be duplicated in the merge process.Having two or more pages restricts data merge to single-record mode. A multiple record data merge can only be produced from a single page InDesign document.IMPORTANT: Rules for multiple record data merge It is a complex technique that can create great – looking informational design when used correctly. In this tutorial we’ll show you how to data merge multiple records from a spread sheet (Numbers or Microsoft Excel) into a document with InDesign’s data merge feature. ![]() The Costco Auto Program is operated by Affinity Auto Programs, Inc.

What causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? It's also a good idea to speak to a GP if you're an adult and think you may have ADHD, but were not diagnosed with the condition as a child. This is often completely normal and does not necessarily mean they have ADHD.īut you should discuss your concerns with your child's teacher, their school's special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) or a GP if you think their behaviour may be different from most children their age. Many children go through phases where they're restless or inattentive. People with ADHD may also have additional problems, such as sleep and anxiety disorders. The symptoms of ADHD usually improve with age, but many adults who were diagnosed with the condition at a young age continue to experience problems. Sometimes ADHD was not recognised when someone was a child, and they are diagnosed later as an adult. Most cases are diagnosed when children are 3 to 7 years old, but sometimes it's diagnosed later in childhood. Symptoms of ADHD tend to be noticed at an early age and may become more noticeable when a child's circumstances change, such as when they start school. ![]() People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse. ![]() Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people's behaviour.

Two players can control three sets of pegs each.- designed for people who are interested in strategy board games (checkers or draughts). Variationsįor a more involved game, when three players play, each player can control two sets of pegs instead of one. ![]() This applies for both a single hole move and any part of a hopping move. If a player is prevented from moving a peg into a hole in the destination triangle because of the presence of an opposing peg in that hole, the player is entitled to swap the opposing peg with that of his own peg. Masters Games suggests the following additional rule invented by James Masters in 2002 which is wide enough to capture all such situations: The game is simply won when all the available points within the triangle are occupied. Most Chinese Checkers rules omit to mention this - implying that it is perfectly legal to block opponents in this dubious fashion.Ī number of anti-spoiling rules have been proposed - one work-around is to say that should one or more of the holes in the target triangle contain a peg belonging to another player, this does not prevent a player from winning. Anti-Spoilingĭebate has always arisen over the situation where a player is prevented from winning because an opposing player's peg occupies one of the holes in the destination triangle. House rules apply but Masters Games suggests the following: A peg can be hopped through such a triangle but is not allowed to come to rest in that triangle. The question soon arises as to whether it is possible to move a peg into a triangle that is the starting or target triangle for another player. However, once a peg has reached the opposite triangle, it may not be moved out of the triangle - only within the triangle. Occasionally, a player will be able to move a peg all the way from the starting triangle across the board and into the opposite triangle in one turn! After each hop, the player may either finish or, if possible and desired, continue by hopping over another peg. Each hop may be over any coloured peg including the player's own and can proceed in any one of the six directions. Where a hopping move is made, each hop must be over an adjacent peg and into a the vacant hole directly beyond it. In one turn a peg may either be simply moved into an adjacent hole OR it may make one or more hops over other pegs. Players take turns to move a single peg of their own colour. The first player to occupy all 10 destination holes is the winner. The aim of the game is to be the first to player to move all ten pegs across the board and into the triangle opposite. We suggest that the game is slightly more interesting if unused triangles are left empty so that pegs can hop through and come to rest in them, if desired. Many rules state that any unused triangles must be left populated with their unused pegs so that they cannot be used during the game. In a three player game the pegs will start in three triangles equidistant from each other.Įach player chooses a colour and the 10 pegs of that colour are placed in the appropriately coloured triangle. If there are four players, play starts in two pairs of opposing triangles and a two player game should also be played from opposing triangles. Obviously, for the six player game, all pegs and triangles are used. PreparationĬhinese Checkers can be played by two, three, four or six players. Each triangle is a different colour and there are six sets of ten pegs with corresponding colours. The interior of the board is a hexagon with each side five holes long. Each point of the star is a triangle consisting of ten holes (four holes to each side). The Chinese Checkers or Chinese Chequers board is in the shape of a six pointed star. |
