When the sun shines, Woodward and George have a enviable view over the turquoise seas, distant mountains and rocky islets that characterize this corner of Canada. In between, there’s time for tending to the garden, hiking the island’s perimeter, and keeping watch on the plethora of wildlife that populates Lennard Island and its spectacular surrounds. In return, Woodward’s acted as a relief keeper for “about a dozen” of the 27-staffed lighthouses dotted around the British Columbia coast. The couple work seven days a week – vacations come only when the Coast Guard organizes relief keepers. I think many people have romantic, 19th century ideas of lighthouses Plus, they field calls, including from the BC Air Ambulance pilot, who sometimes wants to know about fog conditions at sea. ![]() Woodward and George also keep an eagle eye from the island’s lookout points for passing boats that might be in distress. They include, of course, the tower, alongside three houses, a boathouse, radio room, engine room, a battery shed – which controls the island’s two wind turbines – and a garden shed. The daily grind also involves maintaining the twelve buildings that make up Lennard Island Lightstation. They use an anemometer to calculate wind speeds and monitor wave heights by looking at the waves’ whitecaps, and where the sea has splashed on nearby rocks. Woodward and George survey the sea and sky from the lookout points. Woodward makes a record of the daily weather report in her logbooks, knowing they might interest climatologists, and also submits two daily reports on precipitation and temperatures to Environment Canada. Sometimes they catch the sunrise illuminating the sky in a deep, bruised-purple haze. It’s the first of seven they deliver each day. weather report to the local Coast Guard radio. Woodward and George take it in turns to send a 3:15 a.m. She's visible on the left, removing the card from the sunlight recorder. What Woodward does have is a busy, fun, and rewarding role, and one she wouldn’t trade for the world.Ĭaroline Woodward's husband Jeff George took this shot of Woodward working at Estevan Point lighthouse tower. No, she doesn’t live in the tower itself – and no, she doesn’t have much time to kill. “I think many people have romantic, 19th century ideas of lighthouses,” Woodward tells CNN Travel. ![]() There’s been a lighthouse keeper on Lennard Island ever since, and today, that job falls to Woodward, who also writes poetry and children’s books, and her husband Jeff George, who took the photo above. Lennard Island’s lighthouse has been fixture of the Western Canadian coast since 1904, when the first wooden lighthouse was established to guide mariners navigating the surrounding waters. This rocky, verdant island is home to Lennard Island Lightstation, a bright white concrete lighthouse with a fire engine-red top. Caroline Woodward wakes each morning to the sound of waves crashing onto the rocks that surround her home, tiny Lennard Island, at the head of Clayoquot Sound near Tofino, British Columbia Canada. ![]() The amount of L1 hasn't changed per SM, but because there are now so many more SMs inside the chip in total, that also means there is a greater amount of L1 cache compared with Ampere, too.īut rasterisation isn't everything for a GPU these days. For the RTX 4090 version of the chip that drops to 73,728KB, but that's still a lot of cache. The previous generation, GA102, contained 6,144KB of shared L2 cache, which sat in the middle of its SMs, and Ada is increasing that by 16 times to create a pool of 98,304KB of L2 for the AD102 SMs to play with. This is something AMD has done to great effect with its Infinity Cache and, while Nvidia isn't necessarily going with some fancy new branded approach, it is dropping a huge chunk more L2 cache into the Ada core. What else do you do when you want more speed and you've already packed in as many advanced transistors as you can? You stick some more cache memory into the package. The smaller compute chiplets, however, ought to bring costs down, and drive yields up.įor now, though, the brute force monolithic approach is still paying off for Nvidia. ![]() Given the AD102 GPU's complexity is second only to the 80 billion transistors of the advanced 814mm² Nvidia Hopper silicon, it's sure to be an expensive chip to produce. GPU rival, AMD, is promising to shift to graphics compute chiplets for its new RDNA 3 chips launching in November. That doesn't mean the monolithic GPU can continue forever, unchecked. For reference, the RTX 2080 Ti's TU102 chip was 754mm² and held just 18.6 billion 12nm transistors. The fact Nvidia can keep on jamming this ever-increasing number of transistors into a monolithic chip, and still keep shrinking its actual die size, is testament to the power of advanced process nodes in this sphere. ![]() Considering the 608.5mm² Ada GPU contains so many more than the 28.3 billion transistors of the GA102 silicon, it's maybe surprising it's that much smaller than the 628.4mm² Ampere chip. We've actually seen our Founders Edition card averaging 2,716MHz in our testing, which puts it almost a full 1GHz faster than the RTX 3090 of the previous generation.Īnd, because of that process shrink, Nvidia's engineers working with TSMC have crammed an astonishing 76.3 billion transistors into the AD102 core. This has meant Nvidia can be super-aggressive in terms of clock speeds, with the RTX 4090 listed with a boost clock of 2,520MHz. Compared with the 8N Samsung process of Ampere, the TSMC-built 4N process is said to offer either twice the performance at the same power, or half the power with the same performance. Part of that is down to the new 4N production process Nvidia is using for its Ada Lovelace GPUs. The 'little higher' than commensurate performance increase though does show there are some differences at that level. If you ignore ray tracing and upscaling there is a corresponding performance boost that's only a little higher than you might expect from the extra number of CUDA Cores dropped into the AD102 GPU. You can see how similar the two architectures are from a rasterisation perspective when looking at the relative performance difference between an RTX 3090 and RTX 4090. Each SM is still using the same 64 dedicated FP32 units, but with a secondary stream of 64 units that can be split between floating point and integer calculations as necessary, the same as was introduced with Ampere. On the raw shader side of the equation, things haven't really moved that far along from the Ampere architecture either. Almost a full 1GHz faster than the RTX 3090 of the previous generation. ![]() ![]() Books that downloaded via kindle for mac 1.25 or later version may be in KCR format.

Julia Jacklin opened up about her heartbreaking single shot clip: "The video was filmed in the upstairs function room of a Turkish restaurant called Alasya, on Melbourne's Sydney Road. The video drop coincides with a massive tour announcement, including promise of extra New Zealand dates to still be revealed in addition to her spot at Auckland’s Laneway Festival this coming summer. Jacklin is one of three backup dancers for her own song, performing simple choreography in matching dresses, which she says she would wear on stage “if it wasn't extremely hot and highly flammable.” As the second verse turns over, Jacklin’s composure cracks and eyes well up, as the lyrics in the song appear to hit home and she breaks formation.

Like our other models, the JX0 features easy to use hydraulic controls and ergonomic power steering from its AC drive motor. ![]() This model is primarily used for smaller order pick-ups in collection centres but has multiple safety sensors built into its interface for maximum protection in all inventory work. New in 2017, this order picker is a response to new storage room layouts, being ideal for navigating far narrower alleys in tighter warehouses. This change requires less maintenance, shorter charge times and higher efficiency for the busy storeroom.įinally, the JX0 is our latest generation machine. The key difference with the JX1, as opposed to the JX2, is the additional option of a Gel (AGM) battery to replace the JX2’s Lead-acid battery. With this higher reach, storage space can be safely maximised. Our next model, the JX1, has a stable mast for easy stability as well as a higher elevation of 4880mm. With a total lift height of 3620mm, this model is ideal to maximise order picking output without jeopardising the safety of the worker. Designed for medium lifts, the JX2 would make a reliable and safe addition to any warehouse, maintenance centre or shop floor. However, if you are new to the world of order pickers, then let us guide you through the various order pickers we have available for sale. If you happen to be well-versed in order picker varieties, then we guarantee you will find something amongst our lucrative catalogue of machines. Warehouses and shop storerooms can operate with more complexity than ever before, and with our collection of fine order pickers for sale, the sky is quite literally the limit. Where once a storeroom was measured by its square footage, it can now be measured by its height. Now, eCommerce can function at a sky-high level. To maximise flexibility for the driver and increase productivity, EP has developed the JX1, a professional order picker with a 20% higher pickrate per hour and a picking height of up to 6.5m. In recent years, driven by the E-Commerce industries picks per order get smaller and the need to collect different products from different levels has increased. In the past most order picking jobs were carried out on ground level to increase the productivity, while stock was replenished to the bottom layer with reach & fork trucks. EP developed the JX0 entry level order picker to match these requirements.īuying vertical order pickers comes in handy when the main job is order picking at increased requirements for productivity. Similar truck requirements are seen for maintenance & inventory work, where a man-up truck with small turning cycle and simple handling is needed. In the past this job was done with either ladders, a dangerous and ineffective solution, or with reach trucks with goods on pallets and blocked aisles. In retail stores, cash&carry as well as DIY markets, shelves need to be replenished regularly to ensure the best shopping experience for the customer. Work assist vehicles have their application in occasional order picking, maintenance work, inventory work and the usage in shops.

A regularly maintained Ford Expedition model is expected to make it up to 300,000 miles and a relatively high, yet moderate yearly maintenance cost of about $861. As seen with 2015, 2016, and 2017 models which are incredibly reliable and are some of the least recalled Expedition models according to the NHTSA. This loyalty from the brand's enthusiasts isn't a blind one. ![]() Ever since then, the Expedition has maintained quite a loyal following, even to this day. Also, it's a remarkable vehicle, being the successor to the iconic Bronco, when it was released in 1997. The Expedition has a bit of history behind it, being the first full-size SUV with a four-door body sold by Ford.

Power – higher than most cars on the website. The Buick Encore gets a very respectable 86 out of 100 on J.D. Major problems are quite uncommon for the SUV. If well taken care of, the Encore can last 200,000 miles, and the annual repair costs are lower than $500, meaning it has one of the best ownership expenses in the market. The Encore won the dependability award in 2020, and that should allude to its reliability. The SUV has certain advantages like a good suspension, a strong engine, and agreeable steering, so it checks most of the essential boxes. The Encore is a subcompact crossover based on the GM Gamma II platform. Some SUVs will take three years to experience wear and tear, yet, their parts cost more than the average however, these would be more reliable than the SUVs that visit the shop every so often. Though the cost of maintenance plays a part in the rating, being expensive to keep or repair does not mean the vehicle is not reliable.
