![]() The outstanding feature of our implementation is that it is very easy to use and simple to setup. The Bonjour-Browser in iNet scans the connected local network for Bonjour services, detecting any hardware that ist connected via the Bonjour protocol (for instance computer, router, printer, …) and any software running Bonjour services, e. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. For your convenience we added a bookmark function to store often needed addresses.īonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. The ping section in iNet enables you to find out if an IP exists (if its ping service is enabled otherwise you will get no response :-)). Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network or not. The technology used in iNet scans on a very low level, therefore one can even find machines that don't want to be found, for instance a Mac OS X computer running in stealth mode. (MAC and Vendor cannot be detected anymore since iOS 11) A classic portscan on the choosen device can also be performed. Find out the name, vendor and IP of the connected devices as well as the number of running Bonjour services on that particular device. For most Apple Computers the particular computer model can be seen. iNet discovers and distinguishes between windows and macintosh computers with different icons. a computer or router, along with their name, IP and vendor. INet shows the devices connected to your local network, e. In the current release of iNet we implemented the following features: Its very easy and user friendly design even allows the unexperienced user to get a profound and understandable overview of a network and the running services. INet provides you with information about networks your iPhone or iPod touch is connected to. ![]() ![]() And iNet never phones home, your data is absolutely private on your iPhone. With iNet you know exactly what's going on! This easy to use App outlines a computer network even to the unexperienced user. Which devices are connected to my network? Are they online? Which services do they provide? Does somebody use my wifi network without my knowledge? These and other questions answers iNet fast and simple.

Eventually, you'll be able to expand your herd to fill more than just a single barn's worth of animals, such as cows, sheep, and goats. You start with a singular cow that has just given birth, allowing you to milk her for a few dozen days. Trees, on the other hand, take entire months to grow before they can bear fruit.īesides crops, you also have to tend to your animals. Tending to them involves monitoring the soil's dryness daily, watering them as needed, and occasionally providing fertilizer you can buy from Vesta's farm.ĭepending on the crop, it may take them seven or so days to fully develop where they can be harvested. Growing crops during the early game involves tilling the land with a hoe, buying the necessary seeds from Vesta's farm, a more developed farmstead adjacent to yours, and then planting them on the softened earth. But before you can connect with them, you must be able to take care of yourself first. ![]() But instead of simply leaving you with a field, the game incorporates RPG elements into it, complete with NPCs to build relationships and a story to experience. ![]() Just like what you would expect from the thumbnail, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a farming game. It might be because of the satisfaction of a tidy field or the sight of a stretch of pasture with your livestock grazing. Unlike real life, working in Story of Seasons games can feel therapeutic. Pros of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Things Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Got Right It's still a worthwhile game to try, despite its flaws. Regardless, I still enjoyed playing Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. But while the farming aspect is as enjoyable as ever, the juxtaposition of how aged its controls are with its brand-spanking-new (relatively) graphics made me feel that the game's very old. It maintained many of my previous issues with the game, such as its dull characters and boring story. But to my disappointment, aside from a few additions to the game, such as bachelor options and new character creation choices, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life was just the old game with better graphics. Having played the original Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, I was hyped to try the remake. Game8's Review Policy and Scoring System Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Review and First Impressionsĭo you like watching plants grow? Do you enjoy signing off from work after an eight-hour shift, only to go home, sit at your computer, and then go back to work? Ambient noise fills the void when no music plays, but they're unimpressive, and some of them are even reused, like the sound of hoofbeats on wood and stone are the same.ĭespite its shortcomings, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life guarantees many hours of gameplay for players who do not mind its repetitive gameplay loop. Catchy as some of them are, they're forgettable and only limited to some areas in the game. However, it fades into the background relatively quickly, pushed down by the dull gameplay loop without a chance to shine. The game has a set of tunes that suit the game perfectly. That's not to say that the game isn't pretty. ![]() It's even emptier than past games such as Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. The gameplay is essentially a backdrop to the story of life unfolding before the players' eyes.Įven for the newest installment of the Harvest Moon series, there's barely anything to see in the game. Aside from some necessary relationships to develop, everything else is practically unnecessary. However, the core gameplay can be summarized into a straightforward loop of buying supplies, caring for crops, tending to livestock, and sleeping. This is especially true for players building up their facilities and livestock. Though nothing is wrong with that, it does make for a pretty uninteresting read.Īt first glance, there is much to do to maintain your farm's operations. There are no significant, eye-popping plot developments to speak of. It's a story about taking over a farm, getting a relationship, having a family, and eventually having the younger generation take over after you. Fans of the series may still enjoy the game for nostalgia, though. The game is a mid-tier remake of a classic, likely to fade into obscurity for not being good enough or bad enough to be memorable.

They all have issues, it's just a matter of figuring out which works best in your locality, and hoping there isn't much employee turnover once you find a good one.FedEx, thankfully, has a solution in the shape of a Door Tag. A couple phone calls to the local PO resolved the issue, sadly not until the second occurrence. They finally pulled it when I was sitting at my front door with an empty street. The issue last year was that the USPS driver would be running late, so they would start marking packages as "Address inaccessible" and "customer not available for signature" without even swinging by. A week ago I got a flat rate box that looked like it had been run over by a fork truck, the crushed box and now loose contents stuffed in an *open* plastic bag with "We care" written on the outside. Here the issue seems to be USPS at the moment. MSP 90 minutes away on the other hand we had to stop using UPS as they destroyed even the best packaged product with shocking regularity. Not more than 5 minutes later I was connected to the actual driver to find the box. In Rochester MN, I had an issue where UPS showed a delivered package that wasn't there. It seems to come and go as to which carrier is causing issues, and I suspect it is heavily dependent on a few people. You probably need to talk to someone local as the issue is probably there. ![]() My guess is that the driver needs to tie the door tag to a real tracking number and sometimes they don't.

![]() ![]() (attribution: Copyright Rice University, OpenStax, under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license)Īs you can see from the scatter graph, there is really not a linear relationship between how many flight hours are flown and the costs of snow removal. As a result, Regent finds that its maintenance costs vary from month to month with the number of flight hours, as depicted in Figure 2.29.įigure 2.31 Scatter Graph of Snow Removal Costs for Regent Airlines. ![]() The Federal Aviation Administration establishes guidelines for routine aircraft maintenance based upon the number of flight hours. To demonstrate how a company would use a scatter graph, let’s turn to the data for Regent Airlines, which operates a fleet of regional jets serving the northeast United States. After using a scatter graph to determine whether cost and activity have a linear relationship, managers often move on to more precise processes for cost estimation, such as the high-low method or least-squares regression analysis. No one person’s line and cost estimates would necessarily be right or wrong compared to another they would just be different. When interpreting a scatter graph, it is important to remember that different people would likely draw different lines, which would lead to different estimations of fixed and variable costs. Because the trend line is somewhat subjective, the scatter graph is often used as a preliminary tool to explore the possibility that the relationship between cost and activity is generally a linear relationship. Once the scatter graph is constructed, we draw a line (often referred to as a trend line) that appears to best fit the pattern of dots. A diagnostic tool that is used to verify this assumption is a scatter graph.Ī scatter graph shows plots of points that represent actual costs incurred for various levels of activity. In other words, costs rise in direct proportion to activity. One of the assumptions that managers must make in order to use the cost equation is that the relationship between activity and costs is linear. Demonstration of the Scatter Graph Method to Calculate Future Costs at Varying Activity Levels Total Variable Cost per Unit = $75 + $22 + $5 = $102 per unit. Direct Labor per Hour = $11.00 x 2 hours per unit (2,000 hrs/1,000 units) = $22 per unit. Direct Materials per Unit = $75,000 / 1,000 Units = $75 per unit. Let’s take a more in-depth look at the cost equation by examining the costs incurred by Eagle Electronics in the manufacture of home security systems, as shown in Table 2.9. Where Y is the total mixed cost, a is the fixed cost, b is the variable cost per unit, and x is the level of activity. Cost equations can use past data to determine patterns of past costs that can then project future costs, or they can use estimated or expected future data to estimate future costs. The cost equation is a linear equation that takes into consideration total fixed costs, the fixed component of mixed costs, and variable cost per unit. Here we will demonstrate the scatter graph and the high-low methods (you will learn the regression analysis technique in advanced managerial accounting courses. Three estimation techniques that can be used include the scatter graph, the high-low method, and regression analysis. ![]() ![]() Estimation is also useful for using current data to predict the effects of future changes in production on total costs. Let us take another example to understand the concept of fixed cost in further detail.Sometimes, a business will need to use cost estimation techniques, particularly in the case of mixed costs, so that they can separate the fixed and variable components, since only the variable components change in the short run. Therefore, the fixed cost of production for the company during the year was $25,000. Calculate the fixed cost of production if the reported variable cost per unit was $3.75.įixed Cost is calculated using the formula given belowįixed Cost = Total Cost of Production – Variable Cost Per Unit * No. On the other hand, the accounts department has confirmed that the company has incurred total production costs of $100,000 during the year. Recently the year-end production reports have been prepared and the production manager confirmed that 20,000 bottles have been produced during the year. Let us take the example of a company which is the business of manufacturing plastic bottles.

Author manuscript available in PMC Jan 1, 2010.Drinking energy drinks that contain large amounts of stimulants can lead to adverse side effects.įor example, a 2021 review found that the most commonly reported side effects of energy drink consumption in teens and adults were insomnia, stress, restlessness, and mood changes. Journal of Medical Case Reports 2011, 5:1. Originally published in 2014, this post is regularly updated. Make better choices when looking for energy in your food and drink, try these energy-boosting combos: Most manufacturers recommend that you consume them slowly and that you do not use more than two in a 24-hour period. If you continue using energy drinks, keep in mind that you’re doing so for their taste and not for any type of specific health benefit. The American Heart Association recommends avoiding energy drinks if you have high blood pressure or a heart condition. Another way to improve your energy level is by using vitamin and mineral supplements. There are other foods, such as green tea and wheatgrass, that provide long sustaining and healthy energy reserves. ![]() īut it’s important to remember that your body’s source of energy is food, not caffeine. One study suggests that three to four cups of coffee per day can provide caffeine benefits as well as the antioxidant and anticancer benefits of coffee. But you don’t need to use energy drinks to obtain these benefits. Research shows that caffeine offers some mental benefits- such as better focus and sustained attention, faster reaction speed, and enhanced memory. You Can Boost Energy Without Risking the Dangers of Energy Drinks įurthermore, energy drinks contain far more carbohydrates than are recommended for active people, which can cause gastrointestinal distress by restricting the movement of fluid into the bloodstream. Two studies on Red Bull demonstrate that it does not extend the time it takes for runners to become exhausted and that it does not improve strength, weight volume, or 1-rep max in weight lifters. Energy Drinks Do Not Improve Athletic PerformanceĮnergy drinks are often marketed and sold in stores under the same category as sports drinks, but studies indicate that they do not enhance or promote athletic ability. Although it is difficult to associate this with a specific disease such as osteoporosis, the cells that rely the most on calcium exist in the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. More than 25 studies have established that the body moves calcium away from cells and into the bloodstream to compensate for excess acidity. Īcid intake is also potentially harmful to bone, muscle, and brain health. An additional study found that energy drinks erode teeth twice as much as sports drinks. In one laboratory study, the acidity of Red Bull caused deeper tooth erosion than Coke, 100% apple juice, Diet Coke, and Gatorade. Energy Drinks Are Strong AcidsĮnergy drinks can have pH values as low as 1.5, which is stronger than sulfuric acid and nearly as strong as battery acid. With those points in mind, let’s showcase three things about energy drinks you need to know to answer the question, “Are energy drinks bad for you?” 1. A student experienced heart palpitations after mixing Red Bull with alcohol.A man’s heart stopped during a motocross event as a result of drinking eight cans of Red Bull.In a later examination-after he had stopped using energy drinks-the boy’s heart patterns returned to normal. Further tests showed atrial fibrillation and fluttering. His heart rate was 130 beats per minute, double that of a normal resting heart rate. A 14-year-old boy with no medical history was taken to a doctor after drinking Red Bull before running a race.Caffeine overconsumption can also lead to severe dehydration by causing the body to eliminate water, salt, and nutrients. Large quantities of caffeine can cause elevated blood pressure and heart rate, vomiting, seizures, and death. Monster ingredients include 160mg of caffeine in a 16oz can, while Red Bull ingredients include about 113mg of caffeine in a 12oz can. Why Are Energy Drinks Bad For You?Ī typical energy shooter can contain as much as 171 mg of caffeine per can, which is 38 times the concentration of a can of cola soft drink and seven times the concentration of a cup of coffee. The extreme acidity, high caffeine, and added stimulant content of these beverages can cause rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, dehydration, vomiting, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, headaches, insomnia, and have been linked to several deaths. Before you reach for a Monster energy drink, consider this: Are energy drinks bad for you? A growing number of studies are finding that products like Monster, Red Bull, and 5-Hour Energy can result in a variety of health dangers without offering any unique benefits. ![]() |
