Shunts are not really directional devices but because Victron added the printed circuit board / UTP cable connector it does make it directional. The Victron shunt is quite unique because they have added a printed circuit board to it so that wiring is much easier. The Victron BMV-602S is pictured on the right and bears little resemblance to the TBS built monitors. They have proven to be solid though very expensive units.Ībout the time Xantrex signed on to re-label the TBS monitors Victron found a new manufacturer to build their units, though I don't know who it is. It also offered a computer interface option something new to battery monitors at the time.Įventually Xantrex made the switch to all TBS built battery monitors such as the current Link-Lite and Link-Pro. The XBM was the identical monitor to the Victron 501 and was a very, very reliable device. Xantrex then found TBS Electronics in the Netherlands and began importing and re-branding the TBS made monitor as the Xantrex XBM (pictured in the middle). Somewhere along the way Cruising Equipment became Heart Interface and then Xantrex bought Heart Interface. Despite many of the "LINK" products tending to be a little buggy they were generally well regarded and loved by boaters. The original Link 10 was manufactured by Cruising Equipment Company and they really started a good thing. I personally use a Xantrex Link Pro on my own boat but they all do basically the same thing and all work well.įrom left to right I have three generations of battery monitor represented. I chose to do this article with the Victron BMV-602S. A Victron BMV-600 single bank monitor can be purchased on my site Here (LINK) for $184.25. Currently the Victron units are the easiest to install and also the least expensive making them a good value. Blue Seas, Xantrex, Ample Power, BEP, Victron, NASA and a few others make them. There are a fair number of monitors on the market. They are actually easy to install but there are a couple of "gotcha" traps that you may find your self falling victim to. People often ask me questions about how to install a battery monitor so I took some time and tried to make it simple. With new battery technologies costing three to ten times what wet cell technology does and many boaters moving to newer technologies such as Gel, AGM, TPPL and LiIon accurate monitoring of an expensive bank is almost a prerequisite. When properly installed, calibrated and monitored they can extend the life of a battery bank especially when used smartly. The battery monitor is a very useful tool for a boat-owner who has to survive on battery power.

1/1/2024 0 Comments Sparkle 1976 cast now![]() ![]() When I read the obits of Whitney Houston yesterday and found out about her involvement in an upcoming remake with Jordin Sparks as the title character and Ms. The drama was maybe a little too quick the way they were presented but overall, I very much liked Sparkle. It was also a nice treat to see Don Bexley-best known to me and others as Bubba on "Sandford and Son"-as one of the M.C.'s. The presentations of the performances are very good especially when Ms. The original songs are by Curtis Mayfield who was from Chicago of which I'm also a native of. Philip Michael Thomas also appears as Stix who's originally one of two male members of the group before becoming the groups' manager later on. It's about a trio of Harlem sisters consisting of Lonette McKee (Sister), Dwan Smith (Dolores), and Irene Cara (Sparkle). As an original audience member of both productions, I have seen a lot of similarities in both stories to "Sparkle," as well as in "Saturday Night Fever," "Fame," "Flashdance," and the off-Broadway smash hit "Mama, I Want To Sing."Īfter several years of reading about this musical film, I finally watched Sparkle on Netflix Streaming. ![]() This movie could have possibly spawned the ideas of creating "Dreamgirls" on Broadway, and Mariah Carey's "Glitter," 25 years later. From being subjected to situations that almost leave no choice for strong long-term decision-making, to making the ultimate sacrifice in order to get ahead, all three young girls, Sparkle, Sister, and Delores, represent the different routes that one could take when you set out to achieve your ideal opportunity as your contribution to society. The phenomenal music written and composed by Aretha Franklin and Curtis Mayfield, the soundtrack carries the plot with every song. This story could simply become the biographical story of many young aspiring artists about what could materialize when things seem to happen too fast and role models are not available to lend a helping hand. ![]() 27 years later, it is still an original inspiration for achieveing my goals that I have set to accomplish since that time! This tragic story of a hard-core "behind the scenes" of the entertainment industry during the late 50's, "Sparkle" successfully portrays the struggle of three young sisters looking for their place in the sun. Thomas in 1977 and immediately fell in love with it. I read Mike Epps is playing Stix and Derek Luke is playing Satin I just hope Mike is serious this ain't a comedy.I was 5 years old when I saw this musical movie while on vacation with my family in St. She has a decent voice to be in the background and she can act. play Delores, wasn't she the youngest or was it Sparkle. get behind Alicia playing Sister all day I hope Whitney can make that happen, she's playing the mom and I love they are expanding her role b/c I felt the mom took too little part in trying to help Sister, plus Whitney is going to be a mom who has tried the secular music and seen where it lead so she's a church singer and I'm down to hear Ms. But Jordan Sparks is playing sparkle that's pretty much set in stone and I agree, she has the innocence of Irene's character and she has the voice to pull it off. Zoe and Amber are pretty as well as Sasha but I don't want lip syncing in the remake sorry I need some real singers. I think some of ya'll are forgetting the greatest aspect of this movie.the fact that Lonette, Irene and Dwan did their own vocals. And Johansson progresses the allure of the cunning and multifaceted Black Widow, while bringing a splendid and lively balance to Rogers' straight and narrow. Evans plays the earnestness of Captain America's black and white morality with convincing finesse in an age of grey that he has yet to find a comfortable middle. ![]() Captain America is stronger, faster, and a more refined soldier, equipped with better fighting skills and understanding of current technology. Sam Jackson has a stronger presence this time around, validating Nick Fury as a main staple in the MCU among the big boys. Still, considering the casting of actors like Kathryn Newton, Hailee Steinfeld, and Iman Vellani to play the next generation of MCU heroes, we likely won’t have to wait too long before Eli takes up a shield too.With Rogers, Fury, and Romanoff previously established, directors Joe and Anthony Russo do a magnificent job at expanding these characters – along with some secondary characters we've seen before – providing more depth to understanding their actions and how they will affect future stories. We’ll have to wait and see how much Eli is involved moving forward. This Isaiah is a forgotten soldier of America’s forgotten war, living out the rest of his days in anonymity. Instead of fighting in WWII, he battles Hydra during the Korean War, where he’s eventually captured and subjected to Hydra experimentation, which is why Bucky knows who he is. ![]() The MCU version of Isaiah isn’t too different from his comics counterpart. After serving 17 years in solitary, he’s eventually pardoned, but the toll of the janky super-soldier serum manifests as dementia. Eventually rescued by German resistance fighters, Isaiah returns home to the US - only to be court-martialed and sentenced to life in prison for stealing Cap’s costume. He dons the costume and sets out on a suicide mission to destroy the Nazi’s own super-solider serum factory, but is captured and tortured. Isaiah is the lone survivor of forced experimentation on 300 Black army soldiers, essentially becoming the second Captain America. government attempts to re-create Captain America’s legacy with a new version of the super-soldier serum (a recurring event that rarely turns out well) while invoking the Tuskegee Experiments. Isaiah Bradley’s story, told by Robert Morales and Kyle Baker in Truth: Red, White, & Black, is one of the saddest tales ever told at Marvel. Comic book fans know Eli as the superhero Patriot, a Young Avengers member who serves as the team’s version of Captain America, gaining super-soldier powers in a blood transfusion from his grandfather Isaiah. While we don’t get his name specifically, it’s revealed in the credits of the second episode of Falcon and the Winter Soldier that Eli Bradley answers the door when Buck and Sam arrive to talk to Isaiah Bradley. Between his girlfriend and his partner having to give him pep talks at the beginning of the episode and his more menacing threat to Sam and Bucky, it’s not too far crazy to think Walker could lose his mind and go full Homelander before all is said and done. ![]() In his so-far brief appearance, the Wyatt Russell version of Walker nails the jerkish nature of his comic book roots, while hinting at something darker. Let’s unpack the comic book origins of each of the Captains and examine how the show interacts with the storied history of those characters. In other words, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier might as well be called Captains America instead. And the most recent episode also introduces us to Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly), whose tragic backstory represents a grim, racially charged take on the Captain America ethos. ![]() For John Walker (Wyatt Russell), who the government installs as the new Captain America, it’s about trying to do right with a role forced upon him. For Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), who’s working through the trauma of becoming a mind-controlled assassin in the form of the Winter Soldier, it’s about trying to find his true self. Essentially, showrunner Malcolm Spellman ( Empire) is exploring what the Cap mantle means for the identity of a handful of MCU men, both new and old.įor Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon (Anthony Mackie), who decided to reject Steve Roger’s parting wish for him to become the next Captain America, it’s about what it means for a Black man to potentially become a symbol of America. We’re only two episodes into Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier-the next Marvel Cinematic Universe/Disney+ series after * WandaVision-and it’s already focused on big ideas. ![]() ![]() The orange and green wedding theme is perfect for autumn wedding celebrations.

Tons of stuff on schemes more complete than Mumford's Red Book (For an online free alternative check Mumfords' Algebraic Geometry II unpublished notes on schemes.). Görtz Wedhorn - Algebraic Geometry I, Schemes with Examples and Exercises. It develops a lot of algebraic geometry without so much advanced commutative and homological algebra as the modern books tend to emphasize. Also useful coming from studies on several complex variables or differential geometry. By far the best for a complex-geometry-oriented mind. Griffiths Harris - "Principles of Algebraic Geometry". It is a very complete book even introducing some needed commutative algebra and preparing the reader to learn arithmetic geometry like Mordell's conjecture, Faltings' or even Fermat-Wiles Theorem. Liu Qing - "Algebraic Geometry and Arithmetic Curves". GRADUATE FOR ALGEBRISTS AND NUMBER THEORISTS: ![]() (A link to all versions the latest is of 2017.)

Just amazing notes short but very complete, dealing even with schemes and cohomology and proving Riemann-Roch and even hinting Hirzebruch-R-R. Gathmann - "Algebraic Geometry" (All versions are found here. The second half then jumps into a categorical introduction to schemes, bits of cohomology and even glimpses of intersection theory. This new title is wonderful: it starts by introducing algebraic affine and projective curves and varieties and builds the theory up in the first half of the book as the perfect introduction to Hartshorne's chapter I. Holme - "A Royal Road to Algebraic Geometry". They do not prove Riemann-Roch (which is done classically without cohomology in the previous recommendation) so a modern more orthodox course would be Perrin's "Algebraic Geometry, An Introduction", which in fact introduce cohomology and prove RR. But the problems are hard for many beginners. They may be the most complete on foundations for varieties up to introducing schemes and complex geometry, so they are very useful before more abstract studies. Shafarevich - "Basic Algebraic Geometry" vol. There are very few books like this and they should be a must to start learning the subject. Very complete (proves Riemann-Roch for curves in an easy language) and concrete in classic constructions needed to understand the reasons about why things are done the way they are in advanced purely algebraic books. "Lectures on Curves, Surfaces and Projective Varieties" which starts from the very beginning with a classical geometric style. That is why I have collected what in my humble opinion are the best books for each stage and topic of study, my personal choices for the best books are then:īeltrametti-Carletti-Gallarati-Monti. Therefore I find the attempt to reduce his/her study to just one book (besides Hartshorne's) too hard and unpractical. ![]() But Algebraic Geometry nowadays has grown into such a deep and ample field of study that a graduate student has to focus heavily on one or two topics whereas at the same time must be able to use the fundamental results of other close subfields. Maybe if one is a beginner then a clear introductory book is enough or if algebraic geometry is not ones major field of study then a self-contained reference dealing with the important topics thoroughly is enough. I think Algebraic Geometry is too broad a subject to choose only one book. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Medis free downloads![]() * The page offers a link to Gumroad, enter $0 for Free Download Sugar SVG Icons * The page offers a link to DropBox for a direct DownloadĪ part of 800+ essential icons set, the free version offers 124 icons in a simplistic solid style with rounded colors.
