![]() For consumers and its operator partners, Voxox delivers cutting-edge mobile and desktop applications that integrate voice, video, messaging, fax, media sharing and more. Voxox is an innovator in unified cloud communication solutions for consumers and businesses. For more information on the benefits of this new technology to operators and OEMs or to request a demo, please visit the Voxox Booth (#1H31) at Mobile World Congress or contact Voxox at. This innovation can be of particularly high value to service providers in countries that have poor bandwidth or in poor bandwidth situations in hotels, convention centers, airports or rural areas. Voxox's new codec, on the other hand, consistently sustained higher quality calls and remained usable at 40 percent packet loss, significantly outperforming others with regards to voice quality. In multiple MOS (Mean Opinion Score) tests, Voxox compared the call quality of its newly developed codec against that of Skype, We Chat, and Line. Skype, We Chat and Line experienced significant voice call quality degradation around 20 percent packet loss and became unusable at roughly 40 percent packet loss. In poor bandwidth situations, where voice packets can frequently get lost, VoIP calls are known to get choppy, and ultimately drop off. "Our new innovative codec is just one element of our Platform as a Service infrastructure, which is designed to help partners build best of breed unified communication experiences." ![]() "We believe in handcrafting communication technology that integrates naturally into the lives and habits of our customers and improves the quality and effectiveness of their interactions," said Bryan Hertz, CEO and co-founder of Voxox. Voxox is demonstrating these test results and showcasing its new codec at Mobile World Congress 2016 in Hall 1 (Booth 1H31). In recent tests, the new Voxox codec has dramatically outperformed popular competitive technologies in low connectivity environments with significant packet loss. As the core of VoIP calling, a codec is used to encode and compress voice signals into digital form for transmission and can vary in aspects such as sound quality, bandwidth, computational requirements, and more. Unique compression-decompression technology is currently available only to service provider and OEM partners as part of company's Platform as a Service offeringīARCELONA (MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS) and SAN DIEGO – February 22, 201 6 – Voxox ®, the most comprehensive unified communications Platform as a Service company, today announced at Mobile World Congress, being held at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain on February 22-25, 2016, that the company's new patent-pending VoIP codec is now available to Voxox partners (e.g., mobile and cable operators, OEMs, and other service providers) as part of the Voxox Platform as a Service offering. ![]() Voxox Announces New Patent-pending VoIP Codec with Proven Superior Voice Quality for OTT Services in Competitive Testing ![]() The third verse follows with more excitement, this time about the approaching summer, when he can take his lady fishing all the time: That doesn’t matter, though, because all you need is that special person by your side and it’s a good night, even if the fish aren’t biting. So, they are indeed fishing, but they aren’t exactly paying attention to the fish. In this case, we would imagine the two fishing poles stuck in the dirt while the lovers lie on their backs, perhaps on a blanket but maybe just in the grass, making love. It feels so good to be with you Chorus to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Fishin’ in the Dark”. We’ll be fallin’ in love in the middle of the night Lyin’ on our backs and countin’ the stars While on the surface, the song is simply about fishing, the chorus could just as easily describe a sexual encounter under the light of the stars: Ooh, ooh Second verse to “Fishin’ in the Dark” by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. In the second verse, he describes their secret hideaway:Īcross the field where the crick turns back There’s an air of excitement, as Ibbotson tells his lover to get ready. This verse sets the mood, and describes the beautiful evening that is upon them. Let’s take a closer look at the lyrics and see what this song is really all about, starting with the first verse, sung by Jimmy Ibbotson:īaby get ready First verse to “Fishin’ in the Dark” by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Perhaps we just have dirty minds here at Extra Chill, but we think the lyrics speak for themselves. Interestingly enough, the songwriters make no mention of the song also being about sex. Jim Photoglo on the origins of “Fishin’ in the Dark”. We weren’t trying to be like any other song. He was hesitant at first, but he relented, and the beloved “Fishin’ in the Dark” was born.Īnd the first thing I thought was, “I want to run away screaming, because I love my song.” But she said, “No, fishing in the dark.” We started messing around with it, and it just happened, you know? We did it for fun. Jim showed the melody to Wendy Waldman and she was the one who suggested that they write a song about fishing. Origins of “Fishin’ in the Dark”Īccording to a 2015 interview that songwriter Jim Photoglo did with the Tennessean, the song came out of a melody that Jim had been working with in the mid 80s, inspired by a few visits to Nashville earlier that decade. The song has a feel of excitement thanks to its bouncy melody, and the lyrics capitalize on this exciting feeling by telling of the perfect evening to go fishing. It has even been covered by arguably the the biggest name in country, Garth Brooks, and many more. Written by California songwriters Wendy Waldman and Jim Photoglo, the track appeared on the band’s 1987 album Hold On and has since found its way into the hearts of both fishermen and moonlit boot-kickers everywhere. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 1987 country hit “Fishin’ in the Dark” carries with it a double meaning that is simultaneously about fishing and a peaceful late-night encounter with a loved one. 1080x2340px Samurai Jepang Logo Japanese Art Japan Samurai Art for your, Mobile & Tablet, japanese logo HD phone wallpaper.1200x1200px Sanrio on Twitter:, kuromi kawaii HD phone wallpaper.968x968px My Singing Monsters on Twitter:, wubbox HD phone wallpaper.Japanese iphone, Art iphone, Samurai, I Love Japan HD phone wallpaper 736x1308px Samurai, sky, art, japan HD phone wallpaper.1920x1080px Cherry Blossom in Japan Live, Japanese Sakura Anime HD wallpaper.674x1200px JDesign on Twitter:, messi argentina phone HD phone wallpaper.1000x1500px japanese aesthetic HD phone wallpaper.1200圆58px Studio Ghibli on Twitter in 2020, ghibli pc HD wallpaper.1200圆75px Rafferty Amor on Twitter:, bingo from bluey HD wallpaper.Cute laptop, Cute, Kawaii, Kirby Laptop HD wallpaper Jdm, Best jdm cars, Japan cars, Anime Drift HD phone wallpaper 1024x917px Erik goncalves on Twitter:, ronaldo world cup HD wallpaper.Duke bike, Bike pic, Super bikes, Duke 390 HD phone wallpaper 1414x2048px Catsuka on Twitter:, suzume no tojimari HD phone wallpaper.4335x2990px japan paintings waves boats kanagawa great wave hokusai inspired for your, Mobile & Tablet, japanese wave HD wallpaper.Anime city, Anime, City Street View HD wallpaper Pixel art, Art, Anime scenery, 8 Bit Japan HD phone wallpaper 4335x2990px Japan, paintings, waves, boats, vehicles, The Great Wave off, Japanese Black and White HD wallpaper.1920x1080px Pink Japanese Aesthetic, aesthetic japan pc HD wallpaper.720x1280px Japan cyberpunk, art, anime, fictional character, anime HD phone wallpaper.Landscape, Anime background, Anime scenery, Studio Ghibli Nature HD wallpaper 1920x1080px Japan Street Fall City Live, 8 bit japan HD wallpaper.1920x1080px 1920x1080 8 Bit City Laptop Full, Backgrounds, and, japan 8 bit HD wallpaper.1152x2048px phone - Japanese style neon shallows, Japan Phone HD phone wallpaper.1920x2804px Summer Day HD phone wallpaper.2048x1156px Attack on Titan - Eren Yeager / Twitter, Eren Yeager Adult HD wallpaper.2828x5656px cyberpunk HD phone wallpaper.960x1200px B R Football - Argentina Have Qualified For The 2022 World Cup ✨ Twitter, Football 2022 HD phone wallpaper.720x1274px ARYAN KHAN on Twitter:, pathaan HD phone wallpaper.Pixel art background, Art background, Anime scenery, Pixel Art Japan HD phone wallpaper 736x1309px pasoputi on Twitter, sad alone cartoon boy HD phone wallpaper.1407x3045px iphone japanese art, Japan Phone HD phone wallpaper.art anime japan street cute, Japanese Aesthetic Phone HD phone wallpaper 720x1280px İtachi, naruto, red, sasuke, art, uchiha, itachi, japan, black, uchihaitachi, anime HD phone wallpaper.Samurai Japan Anime scenery pathaan girl Japan Phone Pixel Art Shingeki The Great Wave off Japan cyberpunk War Japanese Aesthetic Phone Japanese Black and White Japanese Dragon Japanese Oni Mask ![]() Vanilla cream cheese frosting and a caramel drizzle is a classic choice and yields fantastic caramel apple cupcakes. Over the years, I’ve experimented with many different frosting recipes for this dessert. ![]() Expert Tips and FAQs Best Frostings to Use Set on a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting. It’s always important to not over-mix cupcake batter.ĭivide batter evenly among 12 cupcake liners (they will be filled almost all the way to the top) and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Mix in flour mixture a little bit at a time until just combined. Apple spice cake is easy to make and turns out perfectly every time!īeat in eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until blended. An electric or stand mixer is helpful for this. Next, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and flour and stir until smooth. Place them in an even layer on top of the batter in the pan. Wash and dry the peach and cut it into approximately ¼ inch slices. Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and whisking together dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl – flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Slice the peach, mix and add the topping. This recipe also uses sour cream, but you can always substitute yogurt in its place if that’s what you have on hand. I don’t peel them in my apple crumble pie, either! Tip: There is no need to peel the apples before using them in this recipe. Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Red Delicious apples are all great choices, but there are so many others that will also work well. I don’t want apple mush in my cupcakes I want recognizable apple bits. I like to use tart apples that hold their shape. The most important ingredient in this recipe is apples. This is a must-try for fall dessert recipes! Your best bet is going to be to keep them in the fridge- there, they’ll last about a week.These moist and delicious cupcakes are loaded with apple flavor. Kept in an airtight container at room temperature, they’ll stay good for 1-2 days. These Apple Cupcakes will taste best if you eat them as soon as they’re finished. Go with an apple slice or one of these little soft caramels. We think these look great with some sort of garnish. ![]() When they finish baking, pull them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before topping with your caramel frosting. Mix until fully combined.Īround this time, your cupcakes should be close to done. This will form a basic buttercream frosting, to which we’ll add some caramel topping. First, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar. For us, that was 16-19 minutes at 350 degrees. Feel free to add in some vanilla extract here as well and mix for a minute or two.Īdd the prepared batter to lined cupcake tins and bake according to the box instructions. Once that batter starts coming together, add in the apple pie filling- it’s moist enough that we don’t need to add water to the batter. Off on the side, chop the pie filling so the pieces are more bite-sized. Beat together with a hand or stand mixer until combined. To a bowl, add your cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Make these for yourself or serve them up at your next party or get-together to get folks into that fall mood!Įnjoyed this recipe?

In that regard it lands itself somewhere between the live always online experience of Destiny and the optional online co-op of Borderlands. At any point you can drop into a friend’s game or look for squaddies via the matchmaking menu. If the region featured in the demo is indicative of the rest of the game, expect linear pathways that branch off into smaller dungeon-like instances. Don’t expect open world spaces teeming with other players. One aspect some fans of the genre may find difficult to grasp is how Outriders is portioned out. ![]() Encounters can be surprisingly difficult at times, including nail-biting boss battles that rely on more than just chunky enemy health bars to raise the challenge threshold. Each comes tagged with their own unique powers (three can be slotted at any one time) as well an expansive skill tree loaded with passive stat buffs and perks to further customise your character.Īfter a few hours with Outriders, the combat gameplay remains enjoyable, mainly due to unlocking new Anomaly powers as well as finding more powerful loot. These include the steadfast Devastator, deceptive Trickster, and support-focused Technomancer, as well as the flame-wreathed Pyromancer. To regain health you’ll need to break their ranks and use special powers that vary depending on which of the four Outrider classes you’ve selected. There’s a genuine attempt here to encourage tactical, offence-focused playstyles as NPCs constantly move to flank or engage you head on, cover points crumbling as they soak up bullets from incoming fire. Gunplay feels smooth as you weave in and out of cover, raining down fire on enemies and eviscerating them with your Altered abilities. People Can Fly are attempting to craft a highly replayable third person shooter that juggles dynamic gameplay with a progression system they hope players will hook into, either riding solo or teaming up with up to two squadmates via online co-op. The comparisons to games like Destiny, The Division and Borderlands are unavoidable, yet completely valid. Perhaps what makes the prologue so painfully dull is that it simply holds you back from the looter shooter action Outriders is built around. This is where you come in, rejoining what’s left of your Outrider cohort as you’re given a lay of the land. One that has been colonised by warring factions and wracked by constant storms.Īmong the rank and file grunts caught in this conflict are the superhero-like Altered. You’re now looking at a very different Enoch. Outriders eventually picks up as your character emerges from stasis many years after their contact with The Anomaly. Thank goodness you can take progress from the demo to the full game to get this section out of the way early. You can’t exactly fault People Can Fly for trying to establish their lore, characters, and setting, but all it amounts to is a tedious walkabout, peppered with a handful of dull and linear missions. Those who survive being touched by this mysterious force come away changed: as powerful being known as Altered. ![]() However, it’s “The Anomaly” that poses the greatest threat, a storm-like cataclysm that engulfs large swathes of the planet in its wake. Their desperation leads them to the planet Enoch, but after scouting this uncharted world the Outriders quickly fall prey to death and disease. With Earth in ruins, humanity scrapes together its remaining resources, journeying into space in search of a new home. Sure, there’s an interesting premise at the game’s heart, though the way you’re eased into this gritty sci-fi setting is excruciatingly dry. Let’s get the worst part of Outriders out of the way: its prologue. Outriders is their first real attempt since regaining independence from Epic Games to create a big budget franchise of their own. Polish developer People Can Fly are credited on a number of big titles including Gears of War: Judgment and collaborating on Fortnite: Save the World, but they’re perhaps best known for their bombastic FPS, Bulletstorm, which celebrated its tenth anniversary just this week. With an early demo now available on all available platforms, you can scout the perilous planet of Enoch yourself before pulling the trigger on a pre-order. ![]() Gunning for a place upon the looter shooter pantheon, Outriders is just weeks from launch on 1st April. There’s no photo manipulation in ArtRage Studio Pro. You can open images to use as reference guides (and you can eye dropper select colors from these) or as a traceable image that’s placed on your canvas but doesn’t print or export with your image unless you want it to. These worked exactly like I expected, again intuitive and simple, yet useful. ![]() The features I really liked in ArtRage Studio Pro were the Layers, Trace, and Ref. Once you get the hang of the elegant yet unusual UI, it’s intuitive, and surprisingly ergonomic: Everything you need to paint is within a small, easy to find place. Unlike PD Artist, however, it’s very easy to find and set the kind of media you want to use, on the type of paper or canvas you want, and the effects are staggeringly good. Just like with digital painter PD Artist (and completely unlike real-life painting), the ArtRage tools aren’t constricted by the media-you can oil paint to your heart’s desire, then water color over the top. If you are looking for spray on photo-realistic rocks and leaves, try PD Artist. Some of the sticker shapes are odd, and they don’t include things like tree leaves that you could actually use to create a realistic plant feel, like you can with $79 PD Artist’s brush effects. ![]() The two special effects tools that are part of ArtRage Studio Pro are the Glitter Tube (which smears glitter) and a Sticker Spray, which applies shapes like dice, fireballs, flowers, ladybugs, etc. ![]() ![]() You can use the App the same way you use it on your Android or iOS smartphones. Now you can just double click on the App icon in bluestacks and start using BiglyBT, Torrent Downloader & Remote Control App on your laptop. You can find the App under list of installed apps in Bluestacks.
Setting up Sphero SPRK+ is super quick and easy, we were ready to code in just a couple of minutes. Once it turns blue you’re ready to start. Coding with Sphero SPRK+Īn iPhone or Android Sphero Edu app is used to create code for Sphero which pairs with an iPad, tablet, iPhone, or smartphone via Bluetooth, a couple of little taps on Sphero wakes it up and it pairs straight away. SPRK+ looks amazing with changing colour lights and the fact that you can see the mechanism inside instantly appealed to my son who likes to know how things work. Initially the plan was to cushion the robot from walls but then we added a finger part so SPRK + could knock down our dominos. One simple example is this K’NEX frame we created for our SPRK+. The possibilities and interactive learning opportunities both in a classroom and home environment are endless. The Sphero SPRK+ Robot is a small ball that can be easily programmed to race around a circuit, change colour, run through water and much, much more. I’m now very excited at the possibility of running a similar club using Sphero Edu as I think the results will be even more impressive. I’ve also spent time over the last two years teaching coding as part of a lunchtime club to 6 and 7 year olds and been hugely impressed and surprised at how quickly children with no previous exposure to coding learn when using apps and tools which utilise the incredible power of play based learning. I’ve watched with interest how coding based apps have made coding a skill that everyone from young children to inexperienced adults can master and enjoy. ![]() My first job after graduating was as a programmer for a bank, I had very little coding experience at that point as back then children weren’t taught to code as part of the curriculum. This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sphero. The sheets have a cool and super-smooth percale weave, and they come in muted green and blue shades, along with crisp, classic white.ĭuring our testing process, we loved how these sheets felt high-quality, while remaining breathable throughout the night. The 100 percent organic cotton sheets are GOTS, Fair Trade Standard, and Made Safe certified, so they've met rigorous standards during the harvesting and manufacturing process. If you strive to keep chemicals out of your home, you’ll definitely prefer a set of organic cotton sheets, such as Coyuchi's Organic Crinkled Percale Sheets. Many varieties of cotton are treated with pesticides and other chemicals during growth and manufacturing. Material: Cotton | Thread Count: 200 | Sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full Queen, King, Cal King, Split King | Mattress Depth: 16 inches | Certifications: None | Return Policy: 45 days Additionally, if you're a particularly hot sleeper-or worried about keeping cool on especially warm nights-these percale sheets are breathable and comfortable, but not the most cooling choice. However, a set of these sheets does cost a bit more than other options. Our tester noted that while other sheets felt very papery and stiff, these were standouts for their cozy and smooth nature-and the texture gets even better after every wash. They offer a luxury-like sleep experience, and they do run a bit more expensive than other cotton sets, but you can truly feel the difference. ![]() The soft, sumptuous feel of these percale sheets is what sets them apart from the rest. Saatva's percale sheets feel extremely plush and high-quality, and we love that the fitted sheet has little tags to indicate which end of the bed it's supposed to go on. ![]() The details of these sheets, from the long-staple cotton to the deep, 16-inch pockets to the crisp percale weave, make them a step above your basic set, and as we discovered firsthand in our testing, they're luxurious. Turn your bed into a luxurious place to lay down with Saatva's Organic Percale Sheet Set. Material: Cotton | Thread Count: Not listed | Sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King | Mattress Depth: Not listed | Certifications: STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX | Return Policy: 60 days ![]() Price at time of publish: $279 for twin without flat sheet While this option is more expensive than others, the high quality justifies the splurge. You can select from various sizes and colors, including sand, light gray, and moss green. Parachute's percale sheet set comes with two pillowcases, a fitted sheet, a duvet cover, and an optional top sheet. These sheets actually feel cool to the touch, and they stay crisp and clean after multiple nights of sleep. You can feel their cooling capability right out of the wash, and the cotton material helps wick away sweat while still feeling soft and luxurious on your skin. During our testing process, we particularly loved the crisp and cool feel of this set-and that’s not just marketingspeak. The percale fabric is 100 percent long-staple Egyptian cotton-widely regarded as the best cotton available. These breathable sheets will keep you cool if you get toasty at night. It earned 5 out of 5 stars in all our main categories, including durability, breathability, and quality. Our testing showed this high-end set's durability and continued comfort as it softens after washing. During our process, we evaluated the sheets' quality, texture, breathability, and value.Īfter testing numerous top options, we chose the Parachute Percale Venice Sheet Set as our favorite. To highlight the best percale sheets available, we researched and tested different sheets from all of the top brands, both in The Lab and at home. Percale sheets are typically made with cotton fibers, which lends additional cooling power to their naturally crisp and lightweight nature. "It’s woven tightly, but the nature of the over-under is going to allow for more airflow." She adds that other weave styles, such as a sateen finish, do not allow for as much airflow, because there are more fibers on the top of the weave, which also results in a higher thread count. "The percale weave is a basic over-under weave," says Anna Brakefield, co-founder of Red Land Cotton. That's right: Percale isn't actually a material or fabric, but rather a particular type of weave used to create lightweight, nicely breathable bedding. Percale sheets not only stand out for their cooling, perfect-for-summer qualities but also their durability, due of the nature of their weave. The Spruce Home Improvement Review BoardĪ great set of percale sheets is the perfect bedding option for hot sleepers and anyone who wants to stay cool on warm nights. |
