While this element’s Archon has yet to be named, we know that they rule over the nation of Fontaine. Hydro harnesses the boundless ability of water to take any shape. This element focuses on energy regeneration and greatly helps with fulfilling your party's energy needs. ElectroĮlectro is the element that is all about energy, and the Archon that rules over it is Beelzebul, or Raiden Ei, the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma. It's the only element that doesn’t create a transformative reaction and its characters do not depend on elemental reactions to get the job done.Īs such, Geo has an abundance of characters that can create strong shields and are typically given either support or sub-DPS roles. Out of all the elements in Genshin Impact, Geo is fittingly the most inert and self-reliant one.

One of the best things about Genshin Impact is its robust element system, which encompasses almost every aspect of the game from combat, exploration, character archetypes, and more. The game has seven elements, namely Pyro, Hydro, Anemo, Electro, Dendro, Cryo, and Geo, with each element able to react with other elements in a variety of ways. ![]() Genshin Impact's robust element system affects nearly every aspect of its gameplay. ![]() Nintendo followed up the Nintendo World Championships with their PowerFest to promote the SNES.

![]() And I’ve gotten several misfires with my all-black Airo. And it’s not like I’m pushing it that hard.Īlso, a couple of the pods have a plastic taste on the initial fill, similar to the Aspire Spryte. Of course, it’s possible that I take hits that are too long for the Airo, but that’s how I vape when using a mouth-to-lung hit. ![]() I’ve used 50/50 nic salts and even 70/30 PG/VG and it’s been the same with both. Not a burnt hit, but feeling like one is coming. When I take five or so back-to-back three-second hits, it starts to taste dry. The flavor and vapor are decent to me, but I don’t see how this device could have temperature control. If you only have time for a couple puffs, the Airo can set you straight!īut unfortunately, it hasn’t worked so well for chain vaping … or just taking several hits in succession. It is a great device for getting a quick blast of high-strength nic salts. It also has a quick ramp and it’s relatively quiet. It vapes warm without getting hot, and the throat hit is substantial. The best part of the Airo performance for me is its hit. There is a side airflow hole that VEIIK says you can cover up to get a tighter draw, but I feel covering it is a bit clumsy and it doesn’t change the draw much. It’s got a semi-loose MTL draw, but I wouldn’t call it a restricted lung hit. The cotton-wicked horizontal micro coils wick within three minutes, and I’ve gotten no serious leaking, spitting or popping from the pods. I’ve tested three pre-production VEIIK Airo devices and over six pods. Aesthetics are subjective, but I think it looks good. Luckily, VEIIK includes four of them in the kit.Īll in all, for the price range, the VEIIK Airo is an above average pod vape in build quality. It’s not anchored to the pod and it’s quite flimsy. On the other hand, the side-refill plug isn’t as ideal. The pods have a dark tint, but they are easy to see through with just a little light needed. It’s one of those vapes where a drop will cause the pods to pop out, but they’re strong enough to hold the weight of the device while being held by the pod. I’ve picked at the panels and they’re not easily removed. While the panels are effectively stickers, they’re cut and placed well with no unsightly gaps or awkward alignments. The Airo is a made of a thick zinc alloy with leather-like front and back panels. It’s a bit taller than the Aspire Breeze 2 and SMOK Nord, but it’s thinner and less wide than both. It measures 100 mm x 25 mm x 12 mm, and it weighs a little over 51 g. The first thing of note about the Airo is its looks and build quality. ![]() It is, in my humble opinion, simply the best GUI app available for implementing GTD. Of all the tools that you mentioned, I really can't say enough good things about OmniFocus. While I've never been terribly strict in using GTD, I've been using it on and off for almost 10 years now, and after trying many different approaches, apps, hybrid methodologies, etc., I think I can provide some personal opinions in this area: I also use a Mac and an Android phone, with my only real requirement that a solution work on my Mac as well as online. Sounds like an exciting time for you to use GTD! I registered for this forum a long time ago and never posted, but after browsing again for the first time in quite a while, I happened to see your post and wanted to put in my two cents for the first time. I am guessing some of the tools might be more complex than others (which could be both good and bad) - I would want more features than my pure text file approach, but I don't want to have to fill in lots of fields and stuff to just add a task, I guess I want to be able, but not be forced to link say a task to its project. If I should pick 2 and use them for say 2 weeks each, which should I pick? What do you use and are you happy with that tool? Is there a good reason to pick one over the other? (Different strengths perhaps?) or do you have any other tips regarding which tool to pick? I guess I could just try everyone? But that would take a lot of time, that is why I am hoping that you guys could help me with a shortcut. Since getting active with GTD I've seen tons of tools: There is also the reference materials, which I currently keep in a folder with some subfolders, I guess the tool could maybe help there as well, or that could be another tool in the future (like combining say Asana for "GTD lists" and Evernote for the reference materials) * Connections between tasks and their projects (and maybe projects and areas of focuses? is that nice?) * Setting start dates on tasks (instead of using my calendar as a tickler file) Stuff I feel like I am missing right now are: I am working on a Macbook and an android phone (The tool only needs to work on the Mac/web, I can use the phone just as an inbox) txt files when learning instead of a program) I am working forwards on my journey to implement GTD and I would like to upgrade my system (currently just using.

![]() ![]() It was Jennifer Land who was instrumental in the next phase of Polaroid’s history. In 1929 Land married Helen Maislen – who was called Terre by her family and friends – and the couple had two daughters, Jennifer and Valerie. But with the end of the conflict in sight, Land needed to find something else to keep his workforce – now numbering around 1,200 – in employment. Consequently, Polaroid had a good war, with the company expanding significantly thanks to its lucrative military contracts. After the USA became involved in the Second World War, Polaroid began supplying polarised goggles to the army, and its 3D system was used in aerial mapping to create prints – called Vectographs – that could be used with polarised glasses to give a realistic reproduction of terrain. In 1940, and with investors lining up for a slice of the action, Land adopted the Polaroid name for his rapidly growing company – Polaroid Corporation was born. Audiences paid attention.ĭuring the late 1930s, Polaroid developed a range of products based on Land’s sheet polariser, including a 3D movie system first demonstrated in 1939 at the New York World’s Fair. Not surprisingly then, Land was an eloquent spruiker of his company and his inventions, helped by the fact that he possessed piercing eyes that gave him considerable physical presence as well. He was also a musician – in possession of an excellent baritone voice – and a lover of both art and literature.Īs Polaroid evolved into one of America’s leading technology corporations – pretty much the Apple of its day – Land became known for his erudite and thoughtful annual letters to shareholders, which always focused more on his grand visions than the minutiae of the accounts. Most articles about Edwin Land concentrate on his exceptional scientific prowess – especially his tackling of the many challenges of creating a self-developing print – but he was also a very fine photographer, another of his talents fostered by Clarence Kennedy (also a gifted photographer). (Image credit: Polaroid Corporation) Multi-talented Ironically, in 1934, one of Land’s very first customers for polarising filters was Eastman Kodak. Keenly aware of the commercial potential of all his inventions, Land was careful to patent everything that could prove useful when he much later took on the might of Kodak over instant film infringements and won. His sheet polariser was patented on 26 April 1929. The year was 1928 and Edwin was still only 19. ![]() This breakthrough enabled Land to make the world’s first synthetic sheet polariser, a product with a myriad of applications including windows and, of course, sunglasses. the same principle subsequently applied to his instant film processing reagent. He also found that the best way to obtain an even dispersion of the sub-microscopic crystals was to suspend them in a thick jelly-like substance that was then applied to the sheet. He worked out that a better approach was to use much smaller crystals – in fact, several billion of them per square centimetre – and then coat them in a thin layer onto a transparent sheet. Edwin Land’s solution illustrates his capacity for lateral thought. However, the problem with herapathite was that it wasn’t possible to grow the crystals any longer than about three millimetres, which was too small to be of any use. Yes, there were 8x10-inch Polaroid instant print films (and it’s also since been revived). Most medium format SLR camera systems included a Polaroid back for this purpose and holders were available for 4x5-inch and 8x10-inch large format cameras. Of course, today’s market is essentially niche and concentrates largely on the fun factor, but at the height of the instant print’s popularity it was also seen as a very fashionable art medium – championed by the likes of Andy Warhol and David Hockney – and it was widely used by professional photographers for checking focus and exposure before committing a shot to film. Is it the fascination with the idea of a unique one-off print? Or is it simply the whole experience of watching an image slowly form before your very eyes, as if by magic? Regardless, the instant camera was a hit from the very start and has remained so ever since, bouncing back from a lull caused by everybody focusing their attentions on digital imaging.
