![]() ![]() Tacitus called it the Suebic Sea, Latin: Mare Suebicum after the Germanic people of the Suebi, and Ptolemy Sarmatian Ocean after the Sarmatians, but the first to name it the Baltic Sea ( Medieval Latin: Mare Balticum) was the eleventh-century German chronicler Adam of Bremen. Thus, statistically, the more of the entrance that is included in its definition, the healthier the Baltic appears conversely, the more narrowly it is defined, the more endangered its biology appears. The remainder of the Sea is brackish, poor in oxygen, and in species. The Kattegat and the southwestern Baltic Sea are well oxygenated and have a rich biology. The shallow sills are obstacles to the flow of heavy salt water from the Kattegat into the basins around Bornholm and Gotland. It's also the border between the shallow southern Øresund (with a typical depth of 5–10 meters only) and notably deeper water.ĭrogden Sill (depth of 7 m (23 ft)) sets a limit to Øresund and Darss Sill (depth of 18 m (59 ft)), and a limit to the Belt Sea. By this definition, the Danish Straits is part of the entrance, but the Bay of Mecklenburg and the Bay of Kiel are parts of the Baltic Sea.Īnother usual border is the line between Falsterbo, Sweden, and Stevns Klint, Denmark, as this is the southern border of Øresund. The Drogden Sill is situated north of Køge Bugt and connects Dragør in the south of Copenhagen to Malmö it is used by the Øresund Bridge, including the Drogden Tunnel. Geographers widely agree that the preferred physical border of the Baltic is a line drawn through the southern Danish islands, Drogden-Sill and Langeland. The narrowest part of Little Belt is the "Middelfart Sund" near Middelfart. Historically, the Kingdom of Denmark collected Sound Dues from ships at the border between the ocean and the land-locked Baltic Sea, in tandem: in the Øresund at Kronborg castle near Helsingør in the Great Belt at Nyborg and in the Little Belt at its narrowest part then Fredericia, after that stronghold was built. The Helsinki Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area includes the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat, without calling Kattegat a part of the Baltic Sea, "For the purposes of this Convention the 'Baltic Sea Area' shall be the Baltic Sea and the Entrance to the Baltic Sea, bounded by the parallel of the Skaw in the Skagerrak at 57☄4.43'N." Traffic history Åland between Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia Administration ![]() The Baltic Sea is connected by artificial waterways to the White Sea via the White Sea–Baltic Canal and to the German Bight of the North Sea via the Kiel Canal. The " Baltic Proper" is bordered on its northern edge, at latitude 60°N, by Åland and the Gulf of Bothnia, on its northeastern edge by the Gulf of Finland, on its eastern edge by the Gulf of Riga, and in the west by the Swedish part of the southern Scandinavian Peninsula. It includes the Gulf of Bothnia, the Bay of Bothnia, the Gulf of Finland, the Gulf of Riga and the Bay of Gdańsk. The Baltic Sea drains through the Danish Straits into the Kattegat by way of the Øresund, Great Belt and Little Belt. It is a shelf sea and marginal sea of the Atlantic with limited water exchange between the two, making it an inland sea. The sea stretches from 53°N to 66°N latitude and from 10☎ to 30☎ longitude.

![]() The I Ching, an ancient Chinese classic text decision-making tool, which uses chance operations to suggest answers to questions one may pose, became Cage's standard composition tool for the rest of his life. Through his studies of Indian philosophy and Zen Buddhism in the late 1940s, Cage came to the idea of aleatoric or chance-controlled music, which he started composing in 1951. His teachers included Henry Cowell (1933) and Arnold Schoenberg (1933–35), both known for their radical innovations in music, but Cage's major influences lay in various East and South Asian cultures. These include Sonatas and Interludes (1946–48). Cage was also a pioneer of the prepared piano (a piano with its sound altered by objects placed between or on its strings or hammers), for which he wrote numerous dance-related works and a few concert pieces. The work's challenge to assumed definitions about musicianship and musical experience made it a popular and controversial topic both in musicology and the broader aesthetics of art and performance. The content of the composition is intended to be the sounds of the environment heard by the audience during performance. Ĭage's 1952 composition 4′33″ is performed in the absence of deliberate sound musicians who present the work do nothing aside from being present for the duration specified by the title. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mostly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was also Cage's romantic partner for most of their lives. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. ![]() A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. (Septem– August 12, 1992) was an American composer and music theorist. ![]() ![]() Therefore, another one of the best DeTune alternatives for Windows is iSkySoft iTransfer, a great tool for transferring iPhone/iPad/iPod media files to a Windows PC, with just a few clicks. This is definitely a tool name with too many “i”, but in the end it’s not the name that matters that much, but the things it can do. Eventually, it looks complicated at first, you will definitely start getting along with it in no time. Since it’s similar to iTunes, it’s obviously very easy to use and you won’t get lost in the menus. In a nutshell, iExplorer is very similar to iTunes, but you will never lose your content (yes, it happens) and neither your device crashes.Īnd yes, we’re going to talk about the interface as well. Hey, what do you know? Another iSoftware? Yes, that’s right, and this is a pretty good one as well since a lot of iOS users are praising it. You can use to sync the files from your iDevice to your PC, no matter if we’re talking about music, videos, photos, as well as contacts, messages, bookmar…You know what? It can sync pretty much anything that’s on your device with your Windows PC.Īs a bonus, it can do the same things for Android-running devices, so there’s no doubt that it’s worth giving a shot. Doesn’t make sense? Ok, let’s say that it was a bit mandatory for all tools to have a user-friendly interface and SynciOS Manager is no exception. While developing this list, one of the main aspects I considered when picking DeTune alternatives for Windows was how easy to use the tool looks. ![]() ![]() Still, at a second thought, just the fact that it’s loaded with so many features can make it a bit difficult to fully understand its functionality. Whether it’s the classic MP3 or uncommon formats like AIFF or SPEEX, you can transfer such files on your iDevices easily.Ī cool trick this tool can do is organize your music into different genres, as well as bands or titles, so it’s obvious that it had to be present on our list with the best DeTune alternatives for windows. Jajuk is a music transfer software, ridiculously fast and very flexible, being able to deal with several audio formats. It looks like this Jajuk thing is very popular among iOS users who own a Windows-running PC. But hey, it’s a free tool, I bet you can get over such details… Jajuk There are some minuses though, like the fact that you don’t have access to the iTunes store or the slightly slow loading times. Not to mention that the user interface is very friendly and any those who are not such technical users will find it very easy to use. Specifically, you can manage apps (yes, even that!), transfer photos and music, or even view your available storage. If you ask us! iTools is one of the best DeTune alternatives for Windows, allowing you to easily manage the content on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, through your computer. ![]() This is a pretty good name for a tool like this. Let’s see what we have for you guys! iTools Here you can find a quick selection of them, bringing all the features to Windows. But hey, DeTunes alternatives for Windows are also available for download, so anybody can control an iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Windows users heard about this tool and they wanted to try it too. Actually, some users claim that it’s even better than iTunes, Apple’s native app for such things since it allows you to keep songs on your device, even though they were previously deleted from iTunes! Sometimes, it can be a bit difficult to sync all your iDevices between them, so you need to rely on third-party tools, but they also include some pretty cool features, allowing you to easily control everything.įor example, we have DeTune, a nice piece of software which you can use to manage the contents of your iOS devices directly from your iMac. Apple has some pretty amazing products and a great ecosystem, but it’s that kid in school who doesn’t get along with others that much. ![]() ![]() ![]() Any flowering stems should be removed as these will weaken the plants in its first year. Comfrey should not be harvested in its first season as it needs to become established. Keep the bed well watered until the young plants are established. Offsets should be planted 2-3 feet apart with the growing points just below the surface, whilst root segments should be buried about 2 inches deep. The comfrey bed should be well prepared by weeding thoroughly, and dressing with manure if available. Offsets can also be purchased by mail order from specialist nurseries in order to initially build up a stock of plants. When dividing comfrey plants take care not to spread root fragments around, or dispose of on the compost heap as each can re-root, and comfrey can be a very difficult plant to get rid of. When choosing plants to divide ensure that they are strong healthy specimens with no signs of rust or mildew. The original plant will quickly recover, and each piece can be replanted with the growing points just below the soil surface, and will quickly grow into new plants. This removes the crown which can then be split into pieces. The gardener can produce their own 'offsets' from mature, strongly growing plants by driving a spade horizontally through the leaf clumps about 3 inches below the soil surface. peregrinum)īocking 14 is sterile, and therefore will not set seed (one of its advantages over other cultivars as it will not spread out of control), thus is propagated from root cuttings.

Comfrey has long been recognised by both organic gardeners and herbalists for its great usefulness and versatility of particular interest is the "Bocking 14" cultivar of Russian Comfrey ( Symphytum x uplandicum). ![]() It is native to Europe, growing in damp, grassy places, and is widespread throughout the British Isles on river banks and ditches. Comfrey ( Symphytum officinale L.) is a perennial herb of the family Boraginaceae with a black, turnip-like root and large, hairy broad leaves that bears small bell-shaped white, cream, purple or pink flowers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Without fail, every new destination appearing on the map demands a little more of my attention and soon, I find myself having to pause the clock every now and then to observe the map and think about how best to connect the roads. Like an engine that is just warming up, the beginning of every puzzle starts up relatively slow - even the maximum 2x speed feels slow for several city maps where I could spend my entire first in-game week simply watching two cars zooming to and fro along the same road - but gradually speeds up as the city becomes more and more populated. If any one destination has not been visited in a timely manner for its accumulated pins to be picked up before they overflow, your city will shut down, resulting in a game over. road tiles, traffic lights, roundabouts, motorways, bridges, and tunnels) for your coming week’s road building needs. At the end of each week, unless restricted by a specific challenge’s conditions, you may choose from two random sets of rewards comprising various resources (i.e. It is your task to ensure every destination can be reached by the houses of their corresponding color, no matter how far they may be apart across the road, river, or mountain. However, all commuters can only pick up pins from destinations that have the same color as their houses in this color-dependent puzzle game.Īs the in-game clock ticks on, moving through the days of a week, more houses and destinations of the same or new colors will pop up randomly on any unoccupied space on the map. Once a viable route is established, commuters will leave their house in a car to pick up pins at a linked destination, indicating their successful trips there. No matter which of the 14 cities or 28 additional challenges you choose, the puzzle always starts out simple with one house and one destination of the same color located within a small, zoomed-in area of the 2D aerial map. There is just one goal in Mini Motorways : design routes to connect the commuters to their corresponding destinations so that everyone can be kept constantly on the move for as long as your roads can hold them. Players may choose between Day and Night Modes, toggle the controller vibration tactile feedback on/off, select if they want to use single button press or a press and hold for drawing and deleting roads, change the controller cursor sensitivity, enable or disable the menu transition motions, or activate the Cplorblind Mode and customize their own set of six colors for the buildings. For the Switch version (release-10-patch-2) reviewed, there are a number of accessibility options offered under the game settings. With an ESRB rating of Everyone, Mini Motorways has no notable content warnings. Hop onto the transportation planner’s seat in this indie strategy simulation game by Dinosaur Polo Club and command various road networks around the globe! Starting from the Apple Arcade in September 2019, Mini Motorways has since traveled across platforms to PC (Windows, macOS) in July 2021 and later made its way to Nintendo Switch in May 2022. ![]() |
