Note that this model is generally aimed at business fleet buyers and may not be an easy find on your local dealer's lot. Standard features include 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, LED taillights, MyKey parental controls, cruise control, air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a height-adjustable driver seat, a 60/40-split folding and reclining rear seat, a 4.2-inch central display, a rearview camera, the Sync tech interface with AppLink smartphone integration, Bluetooth and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player and a USB port. The S starts with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 168 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque, a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. A few design changes that I would make: 1) swap the interior fan buttons (left switch decreases rather than increases fan speed) 2) redesign the steering column so that it does not extend into the drivers legroom 3) redesign the swoopy dash to allow the driver more legroom 4) make push-button start standard (a conventional key ring full of keys touches the drivers leg in its current position) 4) lose the cheesy front-side chromed ornaments I noticed no difference in mileage using premium fuel. If you could tolerate highway driving at 60, I am sure your mileage would be even better. On a long interstate highway trip at 75 MPH, I averaged about 23 MPG but at 70 it increased to 27 MPG. Urban mileage is 20-21, but highway MPG varies a lot depending on speed. Excellent fit and finish, great acceleration (with the the 2.0), rear seats that fold nearly flat, good ground clearance, a stable, comfortable ride, and a useful and intuitive Sync 3 audio interface. Once this was resolved, I began to more appreciate the many positive aspects of the SUV. I found the front driver's seat immediately problematic, but after analyzing the situation (my back problems paired with a … seat with too many possible adjustments), I eventually resolved it with some supplemental seat cushions and a more comfortable driving position. Overall I have really enjoyed driving it, although having owned Toyoto vehicles most of my life there were a few things I have had to get used to. I have owned a 2017 AWD Escape SE 2.0L Turbo since July 2016 - ordered from the factory with a tow hitch and Sync 3. On rain/snow, the tires (17 inch wheels) have terrible handling which I think may be due to the Continental ContactPro tires.the car wanders and feels out of control in only a couple inches of snow. Other cars have the handhold/catch release above the license plate, where there is no tendency for catching your fingers. Pull your hand out when you raise it or you can break your fingers. Don't like the rear hatch handhold at the lower part of the hatch. After 14,900 miles, I am enjoying this car more than ever. Ride and sound are both better than my old car, although I find the seat back somewhat hard. ![]() The cost savings is due to better gas mileage and using Regular fuel vs Premium that was required in my old car. Now in the winter, it is about 24 mpg for the same driving mix. After 7300 miles, the gas mileage in summertime increased to 27 average for my routine driving mix, and I did get used to the auto-stop-start. I've never had a car, until this one, where I didn't beat EPA mileage figures, even brand new. Initially, I found that the gas mileage was below the EPA estimates, and comparable to my old 6 cylinder non-turbo BMW X3. To defeat it, Ford requires a dash button push on every start. Initially, I did not like the Auto-Stop-Start feature even though it saves gas. The Escape with Sync but without Sync 3 is a good choice to avoid distracted driving. ![]() Many of the new cars are overly techno oriented to the point of being a distraction and a hazard as bad as texting while driving. I did test drive the 1.6L 2016 model which had an odd dash interference with the … shift lever and disappointing performance. I built a spreadsheet of comparable vehicles to my previous BMW X3, and the Ford Escape SE came closest to my old car at a much lower price than the price of my 2004 BMW X3 or a 2016-2017 X3 or even the smaller BMW X1 that I considered. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the digital painting features, I used my Huion 610PRO tablet (comparable to larger Wacom tablets) while the photo editing features were tested on a few photos from a recent trip of mine. ![]() Like you, I want to make the most of my budget and thoroughly enjoy the product I end up with.įor several days, I worked with Pixelmator to test as many features as I could.

Photo Editing: Distortion and Special Effects.Pixelmator Review: What’s in It for You?.Lacks design tools such as CMYK or RAW support. No history panel or non-destructive effects. What I Don’t Like: Image editing control feels limited. Great set of tools that match other professional photo editors. Painting tools are effective and bug-free. Supports a range of program customizations. Variety of effects beyond image adjustments. What I Like: Clean interface, easy to use. The tools are intuitive and well designed, and the features match up to those offered in more expensive competing tools. ![]() However, for those looking to engage in occasional graphic design, painting, or photo editing, Pixelmator is a great option. It’s designed to work on one project at a time, and you can’t expect to batch edit dozens of photos or work with RAW files. The app is best suited for amateur or occasional image editors and designers. It also features a great set of tools for digital painting, supporting custom and imported brushes. The app offers an array of filters that create interesting effects on the image, from kaleidoscope and tiling to multiple types of distortion. It has an interface simple enough for you to learn without extensive tutorials and is fairly powerful when it comes to editing images through color adjustments and manipulations.

The starters who were banged up last week, like Ronald Leary, are sitting in Game 4 regardless. Fumagalli is likely bound for injured reserve. It will be interesting to see if rookie TE Troy Fumagalli (groin) will finally play, but don't expect it. LB Jerrol Garcia-Williams suffered a torn ACL during practice this week and is done for the season. Cravens missed most of camp and the first three preseason games with a knee injury, after the team acquired the safety via trade during the offseason.

We've seen it happen at the quarterback position. Coming off 5-11, the Broncos can't afford to prioritize draft pedigree too much, when other under-the-radar players are outperforming them. There are multiple veterans, several of whom are recent team draft picks, squarely poised on the roster bubble. To the starters, Thursday night's preseason finale in Arizona is meaningless, but to the backups and third-teamers, it could mean everything.

Visual Studio 2022 supports 17 different workloads, representing different development targets. Workloads are an important improvement to the Visual Studio installation process, because a full download and installation of Visual Studio 2022 can easily take hours and fill a disk, especially an SSD. On Windows, Visual Studio 2022 has 17 workloads, which are consistent tool and component installation bundles for different development targets.

The richness of support varies across the different programming languages and their extensions, ranging from simple syntax highlighting and bracket matching to debugging and refactoring. The extensions are updated as often as needed. VS Code proper is built using the Electron shell, Node.js, TypeScript, and the Language Server protocol, and is updated on a monthly basis.

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor that runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Let’s take a look at the capabilities and the trade-offs of these two development tools. ![]() Your choice may depend as much on your work style as on the language support and features you need. While Visual Studio Code is highly configurable, Visual Studio is highly complete. Still, choosing between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio is not as simple as choosing between a lightweight editor and a heavyweight IDE. Still, even updating a dozen extensions in Visual Studio Code takes much less time than Visual Studio used to take to rebuild the symbol tables of a large C++ project. I said usually, not always: Visual Studio Code itself needs a monthly update, and the many extensions I have installed often need their own updates. Meanwhile, Visual Studio Code usually starts up quickly enough that I can be productive in a few minutes, even for large projects. It’s now a non-issue even in huge Visual Studio 2022 projects. The startup overhead of Visual Studio has decreased significantly over the years, by the way. When I worked on a C++ project with ~2 million lines of code, I also jump-started each day’s work by automatically running a batch script that did a code checkout and full rebuild of the product in the wee hours. I would keep the IDE open all day as I went through develop/test/debug cycles to avoid another startup delay. For decades, when I got to work in the morning, I would start Microsoft Visual Studio (or one of its predecessors, such as Visual C++ or Visual InterDev), then brew tea and possibly attend a morning meeting while it went through its laborious startup. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thus, Agile is an effective process for teams looking for an adaptable approach to product development. Using this framework can influence a higher quality product as it encourages collaborative decision-making and constructive feedback from customers.Īgile projects encourage teamwork, self-organization, and accountability. The ideas behind the Agile methodology are implemented by using Scrum which aims to develop, deliver, and sustain complex products through collaboration, accountability, and iterative progress. Scrum is heavily attached to Agile, but it’s important to note that while Scrum is Agile, Agile is not Scrum. One of the most popular frameworks is Scrum. Agile uses six main deliverables to create the product and to track progress:Īgile also uses visual tools such as a Kanban board and a burndown chart to help with the progress tracking and to keep within deadlines.Īgile project management uses frameworks to develop and deliver a product. The Agile methodology principally is a mindset and a way of thinking rather than just a standard structure and process to follow in business. ![]() Developers realized they needed something different to the linear, sequential approach of the traditional Waterfall methodology in order to keep up with the improving and innovative culture of the constantly-developing software industry. Maximize your team's efficiency with our project management software.Įmerging from the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto, it was created as a response to the shortfalls of the Waterfall method. It is also gaining traction in other industries due to its flexibility and adaptiveness, as well as its focus on collaboration, continuous improvement, and high-quality results. ![]() The Agile methodology is a type of project management process that is mainly used for software development, where requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing and cross-functional teams and their customers. So, which approach would work best for you and your team when it comes to Agile vs Waterfall project management? Where Agile prides itself on being an approach that is flexible and continuously evolving, Waterfall is known to be more rigid and stricter in terms of process structure. One of the most notable differences between the Agile methodology and the Waterfall methodology is the level of flexibility involved in each. While each approach has its individual advantages and disadvantages, and some are best suited for specific projects, the aim of all project management methodologies is to aid your team’s work processes and streamline the completion of projects. Let’s look further into the Agile vs Waterfall debate, shall we? Image by Nathan Shively on UnsplashĬonsidering the number of product and project development methods that are employed in business today, it certainly takes good acumen and understanding of each approach to choosing the best method for your projects. Of course, deciding which methodology is best for your projects wholly depends on the scope of your project and what it entails. Projects following the Waterfall methodology are completed sequentially, whereas projects following the Agile methodology are completed iteratively in a cycle. The main difference between Agile and Waterfall lies in the structure of the approach. Despite their similar popularity, the Agile and Waterfall methodologies offer two very different ways to deliver a project. Two of the main software development methodologies are Agile and Waterfall. ![]() ![]() ![]() Never struggle with fitting your videos within the time limits on your various social channels with Adobe Express video trim feature. 3D and 360-degree videos are also out of the question, and very few can handle 4K.Make your video length perfect for your social content.įacebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have specific video duration limits that can be challenging to navigate.

Different cultures at different times and locations used almost the similar basic techniques to preserve food items. Knowing the techniques of preserving foods was the first and most important step toward establishing civilization. The history of ‘Food Preservation’ dates back to ancient civilization when the primitive troupe first felt the necessity for preserving food after hunting a big animal, which could not be able to eat at a time. The principal objective of food preservation is to increase its shelf life retaining original nutritional values, color, texture, and flavor. Food preservation is defined as the processes or techniques undertaken in order to maintain internal and external factors which may cause food spoilage. Therefore, foods are required to be preserved to retain their quality for longer period of time. Nutritional values, color, texture, and edibility of foods are susceptible to spoilage. Foods undergo spoilage due to microbial, chemical, or physical actions. Foods are plant or animal origin and contain moisture, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, minerals, and other organic substances. Furthermore, the market economy of preserved and processed foods has been analyzed in this article.įoods are organic substances which are consumed for nutritional purposes. This article also presents different food categories and elucidates different physical, chemical, and microbial factors responsible for food spoilage. This review article presents and discusses the mechanisms, application conditions, and advantages and disadvantages of different food preservation techniques. Highly advanced technologies like irradiation, high-pressure technology, and hurdle technology are used to preserve food items. In recent years, the techniques to combat these spoilages are becoming sophisticated and have gradually altered to a highly interdisciplinary science. To impede chemical and microbial deterioration of foods, conventional and primitive techniques of preserving foods like drying, chilling, freezing, and pasteurization have been fostered. Food spoilage could be caused by a wide range of chemical and biochemical reactions. The key objectives of food preservation are to overcome inappropriate planning in agriculture, to produce value-added products, and to provide variation in diet. ![]() Food preservation methods include growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution of foods.
