At Autobahn we rarely use surface preparation pads or discs they are too aggressive (even the fine or soft rubber ones) and end up removing surface material and rounding off the edges of the surface. all technicians are instructed to clean parts with mineral spirits in a parts washer first, then all sealing surfaces are cleaned by sanding with 440 grit wet or dry sand paper in a figure 8 pattern. Also, great care must be taken to ensure the parts are thoroughly cleaned. ![]() We also use a small amount of sealant in the corners of the gaskets to ensure proper sealing. The sealing strips are made of metal that is laminated with a light coat of rubber-like sealant. BMW now offers sealing strips to better seal this surface. Part of the labor for the cover is overlapping (removing the intake manifold), but replacing the cover itself is not included in the front cover time.įrom the factory, the timing cover has just a very light sealant on the surface where the coolant passes from the cover to the engine block. ![]() The cover is not re-sealable and should be replaced. There are also other labor operations that should be done at the same time as the timing cover that are not included for example, replacing the valley block cover. Alldata repair information service shows the timing cover remove and replace time at 30.6 hours. Most manuals seem to estimate the repair time around 30 hours. The cavity and weep whole keep the engine coolant from leaking into the engine oil that would probably lead to engine failure if not detected in time. BMW engineers were smart enough to know their design for sealing the water passage from the front timing cover to the engine block would probably not last forever, so they made provisions for a cavity to catch the coolant leak and eject it through a weep hole at the upper right corner of the timing cover. What you probably have is a front timing cover to engine block coolant leak. If you have a BMW model 740i, 740il, 540i, 745i, or 745il with the 4.4 liter V8 (M62) engine, and you have a coolant leak from a small weep hole in the front timing cover, be very careful it is not misdiagnosed as a water pump or valley cover problem. We have seen this problem several times and it is usually misdiagnosed or not repaired correctly. ![]() ![]() ![]() Order any of the pork-centric ramen bowls and you’ll end up very happy.

It wasn’t until a recommendation from Lyle McDouchebag, who is typically pretty cynical about everything, that I decided to give it a try. While the thumbnail is definitely enough to draw my attention, the title didn’t really give me enough to consider giving it a view. I don't know about you, but I'd say that's a prospect worth discovering on launch day when Kena: Bridge of Spirits finally arrives on PC, PS4, and PS5 this summer.įor more, check out all the biggest new games of 2021 to keep an eye on, or watch our preview of the Outriders demo in the video below.I had seen this video among my Youtube recommendations a few times in the last couple days, but I didn’t pay too much mind to it. ![]() The final results could mark the birth of a brand new PlayStation icon for the next-generation. Their support and interactions have really inspired us to make Kena the best experience possible. With a release date of August 24 confirmed, Ember Labs is in the home run of development for Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and while that final stretch is often the most challenging, the Griers tell me that the support the studio has received so far has only motivated its efforts: "It's very rewarding that the community appreciates the hard work and dedication of our team. With over 100 of the little guys to collect, the PS5 version of the game will "be able to show each of those little guys on the screen all at the same time", including the ones you've customised with collectable cosmetics. In combination with the haptic feedback, the player has an immersive experience drawing a bow."īetter yet, those playing on PS5 will be able to enjoy even more of the Rot at once. When Kena draws her bow, players can feel the resistance in the triggers as the wood bends and strains under pressure. This mechanic takes full advantage of the DualSense adaptive triggers. "As a spirit guide, Kena can transform her staff into a bow. According to the Griers, Sony's new console has allowed the studio to "build dense, lush environments", as well as add new layers of interaction to Kena's combat mechanics. ![]() Between two worldsĪs a console exclusive to PlayStation platforms, Ember Labs is also hoping to make use of the PS5's next-generation features to make Kena feel and play as good as it looks. Its combat promises a deep, rewarding experience, challenging enough to knock us off our feet if we're not paying attention, yet compelling enough to keep us coming back after every defeat. It's easy to worry whether an experience as cinematically textured as Kena might be more focused on quick-time events than moment-to-moment gameplay, then, but that's not the case for Ember Labs' PS5 debut. In addition to expanding her army of Rot, Kena will be able to strengthen and upgrade her own combat skills and equipment – such as the energy bow, seen in the game's trailers – to conquer the various corruptions found throughout the campaign. Players will have to find a balance between delivering a strong blow or taking the opportunity to heal." Additionally, healing in combat is tied to using the Rot. Working with the Rot, players will discover enemy weaknesses. Finding and growing a larger Rot team enables more powerful attacks and unlocks additional upgrades. "The Rot can swarm attackers, create piercing projectiles, and even form a shape- shifting cloud to pummel enemies. "Kena can infuse any of her abilities with Rot to defeat enemies in unique ways," they explain. It's here in these boss battles, according to the Griers, where Kena's combat gameplay comes into its own. In order to successfully guide lost spirits, Kena will need to defeat manifestations of the corruption holding them back, which take the form of dangerous, animal-like enemies. But this enchanting backdrop is not without its perils. ![]() 12/9/2023 0 Comments Zither chinese![]() ![]() It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favoured by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as highlighted by the quote "a gentleman does not part with his qin or se without good reason," as well as being associated with the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. The guqin ( ( listen) Chinese: 古琴) is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument. Ancient Qin (a type of musical instrument) Thus, the term Zhiyin (知音, literally ‘to know the tone’) has come to describe a close and sympathetic friend and the melody of High Mountains Flowing Water has also come to be well-known. When Ziqi died, Bo Ya broke the strings of his qin and vowed never to play the qin again. When Bo Ya played the guqin pieces Gao Shan 《高山》(meaning ‘high mountains’) and Liu Shui 《流水》(meaning ‘flowing water’), Zhong Ziqi could see the real mountains and feel the rivers and oceans. It is said that Bo Ya was good at playing the qin and Zhong Ziqi was good at listening to the qin. Guqin is commonly associated with a Chinese musician Bo Ya (伯牙) and his story of ideal Chinese friendship. It is sometimes referred to by the Chinese as “the father of Chinese music” or ‘the instrument of the sages’. Similar to the guzheng above, it also has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favoured by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as well as being associated with the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. It can also be called qixian-qin or seven-stringed zither (七弦琴). The guqin is a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the zither family. The most widely known sentences of this poem are describing the sound of pipa – the bold strings rattled like splatters of sudden rain, the fine strings hummed like lovers’ whispers, chattering and pattering, pattering and chattering, as pearls, large and small, on a jade plate fall (大弦嘈嘈如急雨,小弦切切如私语,嘈嘈切切错杂弹,大珠小珠落玉盘). It was written by a famous poet called Bai Juyi and it depicted a pipa performance during a chance encounter with a female pipa player on the Yangtze River. From then on, Zhaojun acquired the nickname “fells geese” or “drops birds.” Later, the melody she played on the saddle was regarded as Zhaojun’s Lament (昭君怨) and the stringed instrument was commonly depicted as a pipa.Ī poem called Pipa xing (琵琶行) is also well known in China. A flock of geese flying southward heard the music, saw the beautiful young woman riding the horse, immediately forgot to flap their wings, and fell to the ground. As she sat on the saddle, she began to play sorrowful melodies on a stringed instrument. She left her hometown on horseback on a bright autumn morning and along the way, the horse neighed, making Zhaojun extremely sad and unable to control her emotions. It is said that Wang Zhaojun began a journey northward to marry a nomad ruler. The most prevalent one is about a beauty called Wang Zhaojun (王昭君). In China, many music and stories are related to this instrument. The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments and has been played for almost two thousand years in China. Sometimes called the Chinese lute, the instrument has a unique pear-shaped wooden body with a varying number of frets ranging from 12 to 26. The pipa is a four-stringed Chinese musical instrument, belonging to the plucked category of instruments. ![]() 12/8/2023 0 Comments Autodesk graphic app![]() ![]() It can run on a PC with Windows 11 or Windows 10.

Today, window manufacturers offer a variety of grid designs and may call them grilles, muntin, or dividers. However, most window companies today do not make a distinction between the differences of the industry jargon because homeowners are not concerned about technicalities. They are supportive devices, especially for older buildings that could not carry the weight of a large window in the walls. For example, muntin applies to inner vertical pieces in the window, while the outer pieces forming the frame are rails and stiles. Meanwhile, something like an old-school window muntin or mullion provides vertical support to hold a big window in place. Notably, some people use these grids for their aesthetic purpose. As a result, you find many window grid styles, sometimes called window grill, muntin, mullion, or pane divider. We have got you covered because our team is obsessed with all things windows.

Outstanding Loan Balance = P * / Relevance and Use of Mortgage Formulaįrom the perspective of both borrowers and lenders, it is very important to understand the concept of mortgage because almost all companies used a mortgage to expand or support their business operations. Step 6: On the other hand, the outstanding loan balance after m years is computed by adding the total interest accrued for m*n months and subtracting the total fixed periodic payments from the initial outstanding loan (P) and it is represented as shown below, Step 5: Finally, the formula for fixed periodic payment can be expressed using the outstanding loan amount (step 1), rate of interest (step 2), tenure of the loan (step 3) and number of periodic payments per year (step 4) as shown below,įixed Periodic Payment = P * / ![]() Step 4: Next, determine the number of periodic payments made during a year, and it is denoted by n. Step 3: Next, determine the tenure of the loan in terms of the number of years, and it is denoted by t. Step 2: Next, determine the annualized rate of interest that is charged on loan, and it is denoted by r. Step 1: Firstly, determine the value of the outstanding loan, and it is denoted by P. The formula for fixed periodic payment and outstanding loan balance can be derived by using the following steps: Therefore, the outstanding loan balance after 2 years and the principal repayment in the 24 th month are $529,890 and $20,731 respectively. The principal to be repaid in the 24 th month can be calculated by subtracting the outstanding balance after 2 years from the outstanding balance after 23 months (m 2 = 23 months). #2 – Principal Repayment made in the 24 th month Outstanding Loan Balance = $1,000,000 * /.Outstanding Loan Balance is calculated using the formula given below. #1 – Outstanding Loan Balance at the end of 2 years Principal Repayment made in the 24 th month.Outstanding Loan Balance at the end of 2 years.Based on the given information, calculate the following: ![]() The annualized rate of interest is 6%, and the payment has to be made monthly.
