![]() “This transition from yesterday to today has been long, it’s not been without issues or concerns, but we have addressed every single one and have come out of it.” “We can’t say that we have been perfect, nobody is,” Ferro said. ![]() It’s expected SOBE will employ about 30 workers downtown and 20 to 30 in Lowellville. YSU came back to the system and the DoubleTree by Hilton downtown has a contract, Ferro said. SOBE has 35 customers in Youngstown, including the city-owned buildings. In total, Ferro said, the technology allows for seven renewable energy revenue streams for SOBE. The byproducts of that process include coke, which is used in making steel, and carbon black, which can be used in tires and multiple other applications. “We don’t want to use the b word because we are not doing that,” he said. The material will be shipped by rail to Lowellville and trucked to Youngstown, where it will be converted to gas at the plant using indirect heat - a process that is more friendly to the environment because it doesn’t produce hazardous waste and one that allows the byproducts to be collected and reused.įerro is quick to say the material is not burned. There, the plan is to collect and shred plastics and tires to feed the plant. That’s where the facility Lowellville comes in. ![]() “With our technology, instead of buying energy, I am going to make my own energy and I want to get paid to do it,” Ferro said. One that was built in 1911 will be converted into the new boiler house with plans to have three new boilers that will operate on a synthetic gas SOBE will produce with natural gas as the secondary source. Two other buildings at the site will remain. “We’ve built the building blocks for the next phase, and that next phase is now to rebuild the facility,” Ferro said. The well-known stacks are expected to be demolished sometime this month. The old plant, in a building built in 1947, is being torn down. That work included a direct connection to neighboring Domestic Uniform Rental with a return to the boiler to use the condensate made as feedwater. The system was disconnected and a new infrastructure was built nearby on the property with one boiler to replace three. “Every valve, every instrument that works in that system was steam-related, so I had to make steam to run the plant, which is never a good thing,” Ferro said. Once the leaks were sealed, the improvements shifted to the boiler house. Now, its in the range of 75 percent to 80 percent efficient with the goal to reach 90 percent to 95 percent. “It was poor because there were leaks all over the city.”įerro estimates the system was 30 percent efficient then. The first was on the consumer side, the end user side, because the quality of the steam they were receiving was very poor in terms of pressure, in terms of temperature,” Ferro said. “There were two fundamental problems with the system. ![]() When SOBE came on board, Ferro said there were matters that needed immediate attention - leaks in the distribution system and bypassing the existing plant. The loss of YSU as a customer exposed underlying financial problems at Youngstown Thermal. The large blow came when Youngstown Thermal lost Youngstown State University as a customer when YSU built its own steam plant. The company couldn’t ensure adequate service to its customers and was in danger of insolvency when the PUCO stepped in. The Vindicator reported in 2019 that Youngstown Thermal was placed into receivership in 2017 after the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio was informed by the company’s former CEO the business was in a financial struggle that could have caused an energy crisis in downtown. SOBE took on the management role in June 2019, which is the same year it agreed to purchase the assets for $250,000, but it took several years to get the deal done.

![]() Just as significantly, you had artists who took Group-B bands like the Troggs, Who, Kinks, the Creation, and (quite importantly) the Move as the basis for their nascent heavy metal (I know I kind of skipped over the Move, but you can’t really understand the birth of Sabbath without being familiar with the post-Who thump-thump high-lama pop of the Move-but dear God, that’s another story).Īnd that’s the heart of the matter here, and that’s why Keith Richards said what he said in the Daily News. Likewise, Mountain, Cactus, Free, Jeff Beck Group (and every etcetera that was spinning on the turntable in the basement of your cool older cousin in Syosset while he dreamt of feather-haired foxes in peasant blouses) were all involved in the process of transforming Delta blues into something sinewy, fresh and thick with slabby tension.īut the Delta-based bands were not the end of the heavy metal story. Troggs, now took on even greater meaning.Ī pile of the notable early metal acts that trademarked the genre were very rooted in the Robert Johnson/Elmore James/Delta thing to grasp that concept, you just need to know two words: Led Zeppelin. Bo Diddley, which had morphed into Stones vs. As metal breech-birthed from its damp and suppurating womb, the lines defined by these earlier tribes became even more pronounced. ![]() Keith Richards clearly deeply believes that unless your music bears a visible imprimatur of Delta blues and shortnin’ bread walking bass, it isn’t to be taken seriously as rock and roll.Īs the 1960s tumbled into the 1970s, both Group A and Group B fed into the emerging strum und kerrang of heavy metal. In other words, you wouldn’t have caught the Pretty Things, Stones, or Who dead covering a song from The Music Man). (The Beatles are another thing entirely they took their primary musical imprimatur from vocal-centric rock-pop like Buddy Holly and the Everlys, and completely unlike the above bands, infused it with an almost slavish love for the well-structured songs of English music hall, American vaudeville and American musical theatre. ![]() To put it a little more simply, all these bands-the Stones faction and the Kinks faction-listened to Bo Diddley, but only the Group A branch integrated Robert Johnson and Elmore James into their work. Significantly, although these Group B bands drew from Chicago blues and the straightforward I/IV/V forms of Chuck Berry, they did not draw from the Delta in any real way, which is why you virtually never hear an open-tuned slide part on records by any Group B band. These groups certainly shared some of the same basic influences as Group A, but inflected it with lusty teenage primitivism fueled by barre chords. The other branch is, well, characterized by the more simplistic gory glory of the Kinks, the Who, and the Troggs. ![]()
![]() Therefore, all the paid features are unlocked already, so you only need to do is to just enjoy.
![]() ![]() Plus there's a 33 mile driving range when fully charged. The resultant package puts out 404hp and 640Nm of torque, making 62mph possible from rest in just 5.1s. This Velar is also now offered with the brand's plug-in hybrid powertrain, the new P400e variant offering a 300hp four cylinder petrol engine mated to a 105kW electric motor powered by a 17.1kWh lithium-ion battery. Beyond that, the straight-six cylinder options feature the brand's latest mild hybrid 48V technology, the choice being between the P400 petrol (400hp) and the D300 diesel (300hp). ![]() Familiar from the original model is the base P250 petrol unit (249hp), while at the foot of the diesel range now lies the D200 (204hp). Under the bonnet, there's been quite a bit of change with this revised model. Refinement's been improved by the introduction of a new Active Road Noise Cancellation system. As before, smooth-shifting ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and AWD with so-called 'Intelligent Driveline Dynamics' are both mandatory across the range. On top of that sits a light, stiff, aluminium-intensive body and this, together with double-wishbone front and Integral Link rear suspension, should provide the perfect basis for the agile handling, excellent ride comfort and impressive refinement this car needs in its quest to take on tough segment rivals like Porsche's Macan and BMW's X6. The Velar is built on the same IQ platform that underpins the extraordinarily successful Jaguar F-PACE. And if that's the case, a whole new ownership dimension awaits. If in the past, you've usually driven a premium German executive saloon but always liked the idea of a Range Rover, then this is your car. Especially in this usefully revised form. This model's original designer Gerry McGovern reckoned at launch that this car brought 'a new dimension of glamour, modernity and elegance to the brand' and if you agree that to be true, you'll probably also think, as we do, that this car does the same thing as part of its chosen take on the premium SUV segment. Those well-heeled buyers who think of the Velar in that way might not mind what they pay for one. In some ways, it's a version of that car redefined for the 21st century with efficiency, manageable size and road dynamics in mind. In fact, we'd go further and say that the Velar has quite a few of the hallmarks of the top fully-fledged Range Rover model - in feel, in style and in refinement. Sure it's expensive, but the fact that this car has much more in common with a Range Rover Sport than an Evoque makes that easier to accept. Yet now, it's hard to imagine the line-up without it. Until Land Rover launched the Velar, few would have thought there was a need for this SUV in the Solihull company's range. ![]() Non-contact customers already can register and use the support site but downloads are locked.

You tell me. Heck, you can compare the $30,000+ Leica S2 vs a $2000 ♔3 setup right here. So it’s always seemed a little silly to me when people argue which camera is better, especially when the differences are almost negligible for similarly priced cameras. Unless you’re shooting with a $55,000+ Hasselblad or a $30,000+ Leica S2, there’s always a better camera. Let’s start with a bang and go a step higher and by comparing Micro Four Thirds to a $30,000+ setup. It’s easy on paper to talk about why one sensor is better than another, but instead of talking about it, let’s look examples. Thus, circling back to my point on pixel peeping, there are details (pixels) in a photo that you won’t notice unless you’re zoomed in 200% on Photoshop.ĭon’t get me wrong, there are other advantages of having a larger sensor, all things equal you should have higher ISO capabilities, dynamic range, color, etc… but then why do most pros argue that 35mm reigns king? Why not medium format when the smallest medium format sensor is at least 3x bigger than full frame? Why stop there, there are large format cameras out there. On the high frequency, you see all the details that makeup Albert Einstein, such as wrinkles, facial hair, etc. But as distance increases, our eyes can’t pick up those details. You see Albert Einstein, right? If you don’t you need to get your eyes checked, as this image can be used to assess your vision. Nonetheless, now walkaway from your computer, at about 10ft you should start to see Marilyn Monroe. Visual acuity has its limitations – If you have a 50″ 4k TV and you’re standing 10ft away, you’re not going to notice a difference: Now Facebook is notorious for affecting image quality but it’s not a resolution issue, it’s a compression issue because they’re trying to shrink the file size down from multiple megabytes down to a few hundred kilobytes.Ģ. Photos viewed large on Facebook have a width of 960px, on Instagram they just upgraded to 1080×1080, or about 1.2MPs. That means whether your camera can produce 10mp, or 50mp photos, they’re going to look the same on your display.Īnd when you upload photos to the web, they’re often resized for optimal page speed. Even if you had one of the best 4k displays, that’s about 8 megapixels. Resolution and Megapixels – A standard 1080p HDTV or monitor has a resolution of 1920×1080, or about 3.1 megapixels. And that’s an important distinction I’d like to go over before we move on to comparisons.ġ. ![]() But we’re not looking at pixels, we’re looking at pictures. And that might be true at the pixel level. ![]() One recurring theme in photography circles is that because of the smaller sensor, it can’t quite produce the quality a full frame sensor can. |
