Advertisement detective ekshena LA Noire continue to share stories about how they created the game.
Building a virtual Los Angeles in 1947 began with the scanning of administrative maps of 1930 to determine the boundaries of city, and the location of residential and industrial areas. Imposed from above topographic map of the U.S. Geological Survey, which is defined by the relief of the city.
Then began to study the collections of photographs by Robert Spence, who commissioned the rich flew his biplane over the city and rented property. But apart from the ordered species mansion, the film has got, and more: "Honestly, it was even better than satellite photography. In his photographs, we noted a lively place and quiet streets. How many cars were on the road. Angle of incidence at different times of the day. Even the trams "- recalls the designer Team Bondi Simon Wood.
After that, the developers turned to the study of normal, "ground" pictures: "One picture diner can tell you very much: what were people at that time, as if coffee were served. What are the specialties were in those days. If the counter at 18 feet long, then you can estimate the size of the entire premises. Any typical landscape of those times tell you more than a thousand words. We used 180 000 images, "- said an employee of the studio.
With great zeal, they tried to find the unique marks of the time: learn the old methods of interrogation, the police examined clothing. It turns out that modern humans in 60 years grew to such an extent that an adult costume of the time would come up except that the 15-year-old. And the presence in the title word "noir" (French word meaning "black") is not accidental. Able to plants producing chemicals, and ash from burned trash literally choked the city, submerging its streets in a poisonous fog. All this is reflected in the game.
NASA has completed started in June 2005 test propulsion system that operates on the ionized gas. Now it is possible to equip a spacecraft, dispersing them to unprecedented speeds.
Often appearing in science fiction ion engines were put into practice in the 70's. Pull them created by the acceleration of the ionized gas in the electrostatic field.
The advantage of such control as compared to traditional chemical solutions is a high efficiency, namely the ability to overclock the device to tens of kilometers per second at a low fuel consumption. True, this is already happening in outer space for long hours of work of the ion engine: its front traction is low. Therefore, as a basic system that rotates the spacecraft, this scheme started using recently.
A pioneer of ion movement has become an American unit Deep Space 1, launched in 1998. It was followed by European and Japanese probes and the latest big project for today was an automatic interplanetary station Dawn, sent by NASA to study the asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres.
Ion engine Dawn and became a model for creating a xenon system NASA's Evolutionary Xenon Thruster (NEXT). The developers of the Research Center Glenn and company Aerojet modeled a variety of missions, which may have such control.
Since 2005, NEXT has worked 35.5 thousand hours, which is 5 thousand more than the previous record. The experiments took 600 kg of xenon. Based on the test model engineers have designed the propulsion system of several ion engines, whose service over 6 years, and now NASA is only to choose in what missions will be more convenient to exploit the development. Perhaps, here and useful space program, proposed by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States in the near decade?
If the experience - "spoil the roof of the car" can be relatively easy to handle, then the anticipation of future leaks in it you will never leave. With a good model of the hatch it will happen at least not immediately.
Saving on installation, we chose the more expensive, but proven hatch Farmont 1000. Its lid can be opened as throwing and sliding.
Work only with scissors
Scissors cut the sheet with no burrs, slot width of 5 mm is obtained, without sawdust, and waves of rounding. Hacksaw will penetrate through the roof and not necessarily where you want. Caught in the interior lining filings with the time show up spots of rust.
And another advantage of this model. It has a shutter, which can lower the front of the glass when the sun is too pripechet.
Not recommend to give preference cheapest models hatches and remember "free cheese".
Cheap hatches with a stable frame just does not happen. But it is the frame must restore the damaged stability of the body, which he lost after cutting holes.
Models hatches for self-installation offers a variety. What is right for your car, you should understand: for a convex "bug" Volkswagen - small, for a Mercedes - a little more, and for domestic cars should be specified by a specialist. This is usually indicated directly on the packaging hatch.
In principle, the installation itself is simple: cut out the pattern hole in the roof sheathing, insert the top into the hole the main frame and the inside - her mate, and then steal their screws. After that, install the glass cover and - done.
But first, accurately determine the position of the hatch. To do this, put the template in the right place and "Iron Rule" - 20 cm from the windshield. Easy nadavlivaniem fingers on top, you can determine which pass under the sheet transverse ribs. They will be separated. Caution: Do not incise!
Inside the machine through a hole in the skin also determine the position of ribs and cables (eg from an antenna). In our example - Volkswagen Santana - There was only one rib.
To make cutouts in the roof and interior panels coincided with a screwdriver through a template mark the center cut holes, first from within. The template center outside of a small bulge (trace marking the inside), you can schedule the cutting line. Electric scissors cut the gap to be the length and width greater than 2 mm size of the main frame: When two of the frame pull together, then between them there is a convex roof, requiring the compression of a small gap.
Interior lining cut carpet cutter: first, rough, then sure. Doorway there must be greater than the outer to inner (mating) of the frame pursed only to the metal. Screws tighten on the long side first, then - in short and in the end - at the corners.
Two movements set to cover lock, and after a busy night you can hit the road with the breeze.
Council rofessionala n: a drop of tar dreaming about the car with the hatch: 10 years warranty on sealed hatch give in Europe, only when placed in a specialized firm.

On a clear day from Tanah Lot, Uluwatu even seen. Like many other temples in Bali, Tanah Lot is associated with a name Nirarthi (one of the last Brahmins who came to Bali from Java in the 16 century). That Nirarthe, as legend has it, the church owes its unusual arrangement: when a local leader Bendesa Beraben began to cast out the stranger Nirartha obeyed, but peculiarly enough, ordered the rock on which it stood (and where he later was elevated to Tanah Lot), separated from the shore and go to sea. After this kind of show of force Bendese was forced to acknowledge the supremacy of Nirarthi. Tanah Lot on the map close to the south of Bali, but because of the location of roads, may need a lot of time to get there. It is better to hire a local driver.
