![]() ![]() Create big environments, set the time of. This fantasy-themed action game sparks peoples imagination when building their worlds. Last year, Microsoft and Team Dakota used Project Spark as a means to bring back Rare's mascot, Conker, in an episodic adventure. Project Spark is a creation game for the Xbox One and Windows 8. The application was designed to let fledgling game developers create whatever they want, then share and play those homemade games with the community. Project Spark was announced in 2013 for Xbox One and Windows 8. Microsoft says it will offer credit that can be used in the Xbox or Windows Store to players who purchased a retail copy of Project Spark. While this means there have been no layoffs at Microsoft, it also means it's simply no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping Project Spark up and running with meaningful updates and bug fixes, so we have come to this hard decision." "When Project Spark transitioned away from active development last fall, many of our team members moved to other projects within Microsoft Studios. ![]() "This was an extremely difficult decision for our team that we do not take lightly," Team Dakota community manager Thomas Gratz said in a statement. 12, according to an update posted to the Project Spark forums. Online services, including the ability to download and upload user-generated content, will be unavailable after Aug. Project Spark will no longer be available for download from the Xbox Store or Windows Store after today, May 13. ![]() Microsoft and developer Team Dakota are killing off Project Spark, their game-making tool for Xbox One and Windows PC. Project Spark is a game that is no longer available to download unfortunately, however as I said there is still a community who loves this game. ![]() ![]() Craft equipped with life-support system and with two ejection seats. Orbital maneuvers and space station approach test.ġ993 - Shuttle Buran unmanned second flight, duration 15–20 days.ġ994 - Shuttle 2.01 first manned space test flight, duration of 24 hours. The planned flights for the shuttles in 1989, before the downsizing of the project and eventual cancellation, were:ġ991 - Shuttle Ptichka unmanned first flight, duration 1–2 days.ġ992 - Shuttle Ptichka unmanned second flight, duration 7–8 days. On its return, it performed an automated landing on the shuttle runway at Baikonur Cosmodrome. The shuttle orbited the Earth twice in 206 minutes of flight. The life support system was not installed and no software was installed on the CRT displays. It was lifted into orbit by the specially designed Energia booster rocket. The only orbital launch of the (unmanned) Buran shuttle 1.01 was at 3:00 UTC on 15 November 1988. Twenty-four test flights of OK-GLI were performed after which the shuttle was "worn out". This provided invaluable information about the handling characteristics of the Buran design, and significantly differed from the carrier plane/air drop method used by the USA and the Enterprise test craft. The jets were used to take off from a normal landing strip, and once it reached a designated point, the engines were cut and OK-GLI glided back to land. A test vehicle was constructed with four jet engines mounted at the rear this vehicle is usually referred to as OK-GLI, or as the "Buran aerodynamic analogue". As the project progressed, five additional scale-model flights were performed. The first suborbital test flight of a scale-model (BOR-5) took place as early as July 1983. The construction of the shuttles began in 1980, and by 1984 the first full-scale Buran was rolled out. NPO Molniya conducted all development under the lead of Gleb Lozino-Lozinskiy. While the Soviet engineers favoured a smaller, lighter lifting body vehicle, the military leadership pushed for a direct, full scale copy of the double-delta wing Space Shuttle, in an effort to maintain the strategic parity between the superpowers. Soviet officials were also concerned that the US Space Shuttle could make a sudden dive into the atmosphere to drop bombs on Moscow, despite the fact that such a scenario was physically impossible. Their reasoning was that such weapons could only be effectively tested in actual space conditions and that in order to cut their development time and save costs it would be necessary to regularly bring them back to Earth for modifications and fine-tuning. In their opinion, the Shuttle's 30-ton payload-to-orbit capacity and, more significantly, its 15-ton payload return capacity, were a clear indication that one of its main objectives would be to place massive experimental laser weapons into orbit that could destroy enemy missiles from a distance of several thousands of kilometers. Soviet officials were concerned about a perceived military threat posed by the US Space Shuttle. The development of the Buran began in the early 1970s as a response to the U.S. After Zvezda, there was a hiatus in reusable projects until Buran. Decades later, another project with the same name was used as a service module for the International Space Station. The next iteration of the idea was Zvezda from the early 1960s, which also reached a prototype stage. The cancellation was based on a final decision to develop ICBMs. The Burya had the goal of delivering a nuclear payload, presumably to the United States, and then returning to base. Several test flights are known, before it was cancelled by order of the Central Committee. ![]() The idea saw its first iteration in the Burya high-altitude jet aircraft, which reached the prototype stage. Before Buran, no project of the program reached production. The idea of Soviet reusable space flight is very old, though it was neither continuous, nor consistently organized. The Soviet reusable space-craft program has its roots in the very beginning of the space age, the late 1950s. The Buran spacecraft was similar in appearance to the NASA Space Shuttle, and was destroyed in the Buran hangar collapse on May 12, 2002. The Buran completed one unmanned spaceflight in 1988 before its cancellation in 1993. The project was the largest and the most expensive in the history of Soviet space exploration. ![]() The Soviet reusable spacecraft program Buran ("Бура́н" meaning "Snowstorm" or "Blizzard" in Russian) began in 1974 at TsAGI as a response to the United States Space Shuttle program. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plus I need to save money for the 2-into-1 exhaust I plan to put on later this summer. It's not that I don't have the money, it's that I really don't want to spend it on this unless I absolutely have to. and here's the most substantial reason, I DO NOT OWN A WINDOWS BASED COMPUTER OR LAPTOP, so I needed a unit that is self-sufficient without the use of a computer.Īt this point does anyone have any suggestions for me? I pray to the internet gods to save me $550, or some amount of money at this point. I chose the Power vision due to the added benefits of tachometer view with B+ voltage, idle adjust, fuel gauge etc. I just called the local HD dealer, got a short sales pitch on a SE tuner.then got a quote on a new ECM, it is $375 and the Labor (to flash or marry to my bike) is $150.so just a quick $550 (after tax) and I should be good to go. So I am having them send the ECM back to me. I just spoke with TTS and they were happy to tell me that they could not recognize the lock on the ECM and that it was not their tune. I then called TTS, and then sent in the ECM with notes and my personal info. I brought it home, plugge in the PV and I got the same message. I know it's set to stock cause I'm getting lots of pops on deceleration. I first thought I could have the dealer unlock it.so long story short, I paid $55 for the dealer to "re" tune it back to stock. I called DynoJet and the immediately said that the only reason this message comes up is because the bike was previously tuned with a TTS Mastertune system and that I would need to send the ECM to TTS to have them unlock it so I can access the ECM. I plugged in the PV and it said "Preparing ECU failed". ![]() This year I finally decided to get the PV (power vision) as I add a Arlen Ness Big Sucker.

Victoria’s work is magnetic and is being consistently collected by art lovers. Her charisma can be felt by her depiction of the ocean and their various shades of colors. Her training is evident in her skill in creating the textures. Her series on the World is immediately familiar, provoking us to step closer and have a better look, then after a few moments the nuances of her art appear. Victoria Kovalenchikova was born in Belarus in 1978. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Free local Los Angeles delivery included. It does not require framing and is wired and ready to hang. This artwork is signed, titled and dated on the back by the artist. The sides are finished as a textural continuation of the front, and also feature several layers as well as unique detailing. Sculptural topographical elements protrude beyond the smoother parts of the artwork. The variegated surface of this large 47 inch high by 63 inch wide textural artwork is covered with a shiny layer of clear, glass-like resin, which enhances the colors and adds depth. Creatively mixing media from cement, resin, acrylic and epoxy on stretched canvas, Kovalenchikova’s work is simultaneously sculptural and painterly. The contemporary trend in her paintings is characterized by a figurative integration of abstract elements. It is an attempt to understand the impact of people on the planet through the language of art.

Though when it comes to Biden’s son Hunter, Trump’s allegations are not thoroughly unfounded.ĭuring his remarks at the United Nations on September 25 with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump said, “When Biden’s son walks out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund, and the biggest funds in the world can’t get money out of China, and he’s there for one quick meeting and he flies in on Air Force Two, I think that’s a horrible thing. Trump’s latest allegations involving China are similarly misleading.įacts First: There is no evidence that former Vice President Joe Biden received money from China. We’ve already fact-checked the President’s claims about the Bidens and Ukraine. On several occasions, he has intimated that the Bidens have received millions of dollars from China, implying they capitalized on the then vice president’s political power and connections. In attacking the Bidens over the past few weeks, Trump has spent the majority of his time focusing on Ukraine, but he’s also at times made vague allegations about the Bidens’ ties to China. On Thursday, CNN reported that in a June call with Xi, Trump raised Biden’s political prospects as well as those of Sen. Trump said that while he hasn’t yet asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to look into the Bidens, he will start “thinking about it.” Specifically, Trump said that, “China should start an investigation into the Bidens,” alleging that they received a “payoff” worth billions. Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House Thursday, President Donald Trump widened his requests for foreign leaders to investigate his political opponent, repeating accusations about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s involvement with Ukraine and China. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like the Pro, Elements 2019 works only with versions of Windows 7 and later as well as Mac OS 10.10 or later. ![]() Premiere Elements requires just 4GB of RAM and 5GB of free hard-disc space, both on Mac and PC.

You can view a complete list of waivable offenses here, and a list of offenses that require a court appearance here. Each year the chief district court judges review and publish the list of offenses that may be waived. Law enforcement officers typically note on the ticket whether the offense is waivable, and, if so, the fine and court costs that you must pay in order to waive. How do I know whether my ticket is waivable? If you choose not to waive an offense, you can attend court, or in some cases an attorney can appear in court for you. If you “waive” an offense by paying in full rather than going to court, you will be treated as if you were found guilty or responsible as charged, including any effects on your driver’s license or automobile insurance. These offenses are often called “waivable” offenses, because if you choose this option, you “waive,” or give up, your right to appear in court and contest the ticket.
