Reviewed by Stephanie Pesce, Adjunct Professor, English, Middlesex Community College on 5/24/21 It is not suitable for a primary textbook, given the lack of ancient sources, historical background, and theoretical discussion. This text could be a good source of background material for an introductory course in Greek mythology or English literature, with entries giving helpful overviews of complex topics and of narratives like the Iliad and Odyssey. Although the text does include some instances of the killing of children (Iphigenia, Medea’s children), it omits others (Polyxena, Astyanax, the children of Thyestes). Much of the story of Oedipus is omitted, and a search for the word “incest” turned up no results. This text does not omit the rapes of mortals and lesser beings (usually female) by gods (usually male), but it downplays those stories through a lack of detail and separate treatment. Greek mythology presents some difficult topics. ![]() The entries are written in clear, grammatical prose. The interface for the online / ebook version works well. For this reason, I would not recommend using this text in a print version. It might be difficult to locate a subtopic (e.g., "Daphne" or "satyr") without the electronic search function. The text’s alphabetical organization of topics is easy to follow, and I had no difficulty located subtopics using the online / e-book's search function. The e-book's organization works very well. Users will need the entire text to be available to them. It isn't a flaw that most of the entries are linked to other entries, as that is the nature of Greek mythology - the various gods, heroes, and themes discussed in the text are interrelated, making the cross-references necessary. These topics could be presented in any order the instructor wishes. ![]() The text uses an encyclopedia format, organizing its mythical topics into alphabetical order. ![]() This could be a good jumping off point for a class discussion. Greek heroes do not always have a heroic journey motivated by a “noble cause” – and the text’s entry on Heracles, the most important Greek hero, is a good example. The text is consistent, though the useful entry on the story pattern of the Greek hero may be over-influenced by Joseph Campbell. The entries are written in clear, simple prose. The overviews of ancient myth will not date. However, most civic worship of Dionysus occurred through the usual practice of animal sacrifice. For example, the text might leave the reader with the impression that that Dionysus’ worshippers always performed their sacrifices in a unique way, by tearing animals limb from limb. I understand the impulse to simplify the historical aspects of ancient religion and culture, but sometimes this book goes too far. The text acknowledges that it does not attempt a serious overview of theoretical or scholarly approaches to myth. The text includes a map of Greece and Asia Minor (only), and a good selection of illustrations. There are no citations explaining which version comes from which source, and very few references to any ancient sources. Its entries do a good job of presenting an easy-to-read overview of a well-known version of each covered topic, with occasional references to alternate versions. It mostly omits any reference to distinctively Roman gods, practices, and stories. One notable omission is the full story of Oedipus. ![]() This book covers much of the material for a basic Greek mythology course: the Olympian gods, the major Greek heroes, and the most commonly presented Greek epics (Iliad, Odyssey, Argonautica).

Multipitch mode allows the creation of up to eight harmony parts based upon your original audio input. The sense of ‘space’ created by the processing is impressive, whether you generate just a couple of extra voices or more - you can create up to 100! You can also control how those additional voices move in the virtual space whether you’re working in stereo or a spatial audio format, this is represented in real time via a neat circular display. Detune mode gives you more control over both the number of voices and degree of detune, courtesy of an X/Y pad. ![]() Things get more intriguing in the Detune and Multipitch modes. The sense of ‘space’ created by the processing is impressive, whether you generate just a couple of extra voices or more - you can create up to 100! The quality of the additional generated voices is very good - whatever technology Sound Particles are using under the hood, it works. It works very well with lots of other types of source, though I found it effective for solo string, bass and synth parts. If you simply want to thicken up a vocal, then, this can be really very effective. You can choose to generate either a small or large ensemble from your source audio, to add a bass (octave‑down) layer, and the amount of detuning applied. Modesįor the user, Basic mode is a simple as it gets. So if you want your plug‑in‑generated sound layers to be placed and to move around in a spatial audio environment, this may well be the plug‑in for you. Third, as well as being capable of the usual mono/stereo input and output, this plug‑in supports a whole range of multi‑channel audio input/output formats, including binaural, various ‘.1’ channel counts (including 5.1 and 7.1) and Ambisonics. Second, it offers three distinct operational modes, called Basic, Detune and Multipitch, each offering more features to the user than the previous one. First, its underlying engine is built on particles and granular synthesis (technologies which are used in some of Sound Particles’ other plug‑ins). Whether built into your DAW of choice, or a third‑party offering, there are now plenty of plug‑ins that can create doubles and/or harmony effects from a single audio source, but Sound Particles’ new Density plug‑in has a number of interesting twists. ![]() The idea of a harmonising plug‑in might not be new - but how about one with multi‑channel support and up to 100 voices? While Basic mode is great for simple ensemble creation, Detune mode offers much greater control over the same process. It has a clip similar to the iPod shuffle (2nd generation).

While that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, it’s a huge perk to have a tool that can check both the battery and the alternator at the same time, so you don’t accidentally replace the wrong part. Second, it doesn’t check charging systems. While that’s true of a few different options, at this price range we’d like a bit more versatility. However, it couldn’t top the choices higher up on our list for a few reasons. It gives you extremely precise results you can rely on, and it does it extremely quickly. It’s another choice that’s an outstanding mix of price and quality. ![]() Rounding out the top half of our list is the FOXWELL BT100 battery tester and analyzer. However, it is a more expensive option, so if you don’t need the printout or other advanced features, it’s likely not the best choice for you.īut if you’re working at an automotive shop and need the best of the best, this is it, and it’s not even close. It’s an all-in-one tester that makes it easier than ever to figure out what’s going on with a vehicle. ![]() And while it doesn’t test 24-volt batteries, it does check the charging system for both 12- and 24-volt systems.įor ease of use it checks AGM, lead-acid, gel, and just about any other battery type out there. Not only that, but it’s so easy to print out that it doesn’t slow down your day at all and lets you move onto the next vehicle faster than ever. Not only that, but it provides a printout straight from the machine, which provides you with something to give the customer to back up what you’re saying. It works for both 6- and 12-volt batteries, and it gives you extremely accurate and detailed results about what’s going on. You can’t risk not getting accurate results and a way to communicate that information to the customer, and this battery tester does both those things for you. If you’re running an automotive shop you need a top-notch battery tester. Still, at this price range it’s the absolute best you’re going to get. It’s great for rough estimates and telling you when you need to replace your battery or alternator, but it’s not the best for any precise troubleshooting. Moreover, it uses lights to tell you if the battery has a 40, 60, 80, or 100 percent charge, but it can’t tell you where it settles between those points. It only uses a single light to tell if you if the battery is bad, and it doesn’t give you any additional information about what’s going on. It’s more precise than most low-end battery testers, but it’s nowhere near the level of the top choices. However, it’s not the most precise tool since it only uses lights to tell you what’s going on. It’s both lightweight and portable, so you can store it just about anywhere too. It works for both 12 volt and 24-volt batteries, and it also checks your vehicle’s alternator. ![]() If you don’t test a ton of batteries and don’t need the most in-depth battery tester out there, the 12/24V DC Automotive Battery Tester can get the job done for you at a minuscule cost. It’s the best possible combination of price and performance, and you won’t find a more affordable deal out there. The only real issue with this battery tester is that it doesn’t provide a printout of the results, but if you’re using it for your home garage, that’s an extra feature you don’t need. It’s small and portable so it’ll fit in any garage, or you can even store it in your vehicle’s glovebox. Not only does it check and analyze the current state and charge of the battery, but it also checks the charging system and starting system at the same time.įurthermore, it comes with reverse battery connection that protects the charger if you accidentally hook up the leads backward. No matter the type of battery in your vehicle, this tester and analyzer can handle it. Not only that, but it can test AGM, lead-acid, gel batteries, and more. It works on just about any battery you throw at it, with the ability to switch between 6, 12, and 24-volt batteries. If you’re looking for the best combination of price and performance for a battery tester for your home garage, look no further than the OBDMONSTER BM550. ![]() However, now BSE has modified the requirements and it is sufficient if you enter any one of these parameters.

This means someone who knows their way around iOS 10 can recover everything. The easier first step is to choose Erase Deleted Files:Īs mentioned earlier, remember that deletions on the iPhone and iPad tend to just move that data to a holding area rather than wipe it. Erase All Data, however, is the lobotomy of options: don’t use this if you aren’t ready to start with an out-of-the-box iPhone. The program uses a secure erase technology (erase, write junk, erase, in a loop) to ensure that there’s no way even with forensic tools that people extract your deleted data after the fact. To start, if you’re about to hand your iPhone or iPad to a stranger (or overly curious nephew!) you’ll want to know about Erase All Data in iMyFone Umate Pro: Let’s look at the other major functionality of the program too. Now at this point I wish I could double click to at least get a bigger thumbnail if not actually preview the video, but that’s not a capability of Umate Pro so after confirming it’s indeed one I’ve already backed up onto the Mac, a click to select and “Back Up & Delete” gets rid of it. Notice that a single video file I have - IMG_6953.MOV - is over 1GB in size. Or you can look at your Videos, in which case Umate Pro conveniently sorts them by size and even lets you filter out movies smaller than a specified size, as I’ve done here: If I opted to clean up my photo library completely, I could save 4.94GB. They’re hopefully also backed up in the cloud too, whether you use iCloud, Dropbox or a similar service. On my phone, that’s where a whole lot of space is being consumed as I can see when I choose Photos:Ĭompressing my biggest photos can save a quick 1.5GB, but the real savings is when I simply copy photos off my iPhone and onto my computer. They can be compressed to save space, and you can also use iMyFone Umate Pro to back up photos. If you’re like me, you have tons and tons of photos. Where you can free up lots of space is to look at your photo archive. Your quantities will differ and for you these could free up quite a bit more space! Okay, so this only frees up 58MB of space, but that’s all space I’d rather have open for real things rather than eaten up with crash logs and the like. ![]() To start, let’s just have a quick look at the Junk Files by clicking on “Clean” adjacent. That’s a lot of space! But don’t get too excited, because you might not want to do everything recommended. It’ll take a few minutes, but once it’s done you’ll see all sorts of really easy ways to free up some space:Ģ0GB. Frustrating, particularly if you’re trying to free up space to make your device work better!Ĭlick on “ Quick Scan” to let the program dig around… In fact, iOS has a bad habit of staging deleted files so if you “delete” a photo or video on your iPhone or iPad, it’s actually still there, just in the “recently deleted folder”. How do you erase deleted files? You may ask, and a fair question that is. The main functions of the program are shown on the left: free up space, erase all data, erase deleted files, and erase private data. To start, install the program and plug in your iPhone to proceed:Īs you can see, the iPhone 7 has 128GB of space (118.12GB accessible), 82.29GB is used and 35.83GB is free. We tested the Mac version on a brand new Macbook Pro with Touchbar and an iPhone 7. Things fail left and right, you can’t take photos, capture video, and individual apps can become ridiculously slow and, eventually, unusable.įortunately iMyFone Umate Pro has you covered in both cases, and it’s available in both a Windows and Mac version. So even a curious cousin could extract all sorts of information - and photos! - you’d rather have stayed far, far from prying eyes.īut even if you aren’t planning on getting rid of your iPhone, it’s easy to have all the data ooze and grow to take up all the available space, and if you’ve ever run out of space on an iOS 10 device, it’s not pretty. It may seem a bit paranoid to worry about text messages, emails and photos on an iPhone or iPad you’re poised to see or give to a friend or family member, but identity theft is a major issue and the tools to recover ‘deleted’ data are free to download from the Internet.
