![]() New car technologies are trying to push the driver out of the picture. Tech is pushing towards less driver engagement, not more.Ī manual transmission is for driving engagement. The bar to include one - unless it's a manual-only special like the Toyota GR Corolla or Honda Civic Type R - is prohibitively high. Throwing a manual transmission into the development process adds complexity and costs - for what is ultimately be dead-end technology. But EV development is expensive and that has forced manufacturers to become far more judicious and streamlined about car manufacturing - using the same platforms, engines and transmissions on several vehicles. A manual gearbox is simpler and cheaper to produce than an automatic one, so using them helped to bring down costs. Until recently, manual transmissions appeared in the base models of several affordable cars. Cost-cutting makes developing manuals hard to justify But it's not certain whether those will be implemented in production cars or whether buyers would want them if they did. Ford and Toyota have patents for wholly unnecessary electronic manual transmissions. Dodge's new electric muscle car will have an "eRupt" manual shifting component. Some manufacturers are experimenting with bringing the manual transmission into the electric era in a simulated fashion. Most hybrids stick with CVTs or - if looking for some driving engagement - conventional automatic transmissions. But hybrid tech has grown to the point where a stick shift would not be helpful even if it were feasible. Honda offered some early hybrids with a manual. There's no reason to shift as you get peak torque on tap. Electric motors generally use a single gear. The automotive world is going electric and manual transmissions have no relevance in that world. Electric and electrified cars don't need manual transmissions The last time we checked with Jeep, the manual Wrangler take rate was about 10% - the same as the percentage who still opt for the two-door model. And the Jeep Wrangler only offers a stick on its V6 engine. Ford just pulled the manual from non-GT Mustang models. But even some manual transmission stalwarts are faltering. ![]() ![]() Vehicles like the Porsche 911 and Subaru WRX still have sticks due to high demand. There isn't a single justification for putting a manual in a car in 2022 beyond sheer driver engagement, which is a reason but not a practical one. The laundry list of practical reasons one used to opt for a manual - fuel economy? - no longer exist. They outperform humans with a stick shift, whether it's on track or in everyday life. Current auto boxes are both efficient and intuitive. Automatic transmissions are better than manual transmissions.Īutomatic transmissions have become far better than they once were. The forces at work against the manual transmission are insurmountable, and even the #savethemanuals hashtag has profound "old man shouting into the wind" energy. The debate is not so much whether the manual transmission is dying but where it resides on the death continuum, with only a few niche models keeping it on life support. And my sentiments feel like even more of an anachronism. But each year, the list of vehicles offering manual transmissions grows smaller. I still own one as my technical "daily driver," even though it's seldom driven daily while I'm testing cars.

I would go back and listen to every single Holmes book, even the ones I didn’t care for much, if he was narrating them. But Kevin Theis, who I have gotten used to as the voice of Bertie Wooster, was great as Holmes. He commonly put full emphasis on both words in the tag, “said Holmes.” with more of an exclamation point than a period after them. I wasn’t impressed by Ben Werling who was a little odd with some of his dialog tags. They both also performed various other male characters, and Sara Nichols voiced any female or child roles. Sherlock is a British Television series produced by Hartswood Films for the BBC, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as John. Regarding the audiobook, this version was narrated by Ben Werling, who also voiced Watson, and Kevin Theis, who voiced Sherlock. I am not sure how I would have felt about the stories narrated by Holmes instead of Watson if I weren’t listening to them read by Kevin Theis, but overall, I enjoyed my time listening to this book. Sherlock Holmes is the overall title given to the series of Sherlock Holmes adaptations produced by the British television company Granada Television between 19. I’m surprised we don’t hear of him at least as much as Moriarty he’s in only one less story than Moriarty (who is only in two), but he has more “screen time” and is also clearly quite clever. Most of the mysteries were intriguing (except for the one where the woman literally just tells everything to Holmes there’s nothing for him to solve at all-I did like the very end of that one though), and I particularly liked the villain Baron Gruner. But even outside of liking the narration (more on that later), I was more engaged throughout this book. But then I found an audiobook version that intrigued me, and I really can’t say that it wasn’t the reason it was my favorite. I almost didn’t read it, thinking to skip this and His Last Bow and just reading The Hound of the Baskervilles to finish up my foray into Sherlock Holmes. From the third season and until the end, he was replaced by Edward Hardwicke.I think this has been my favorite collection of short stories in this series so far.

The nickname ‘the Oscars of fashion’ can be a bit confusing – the Met Gala isn’t an award ceremony it’s a fundraising dinner. Examples, he said, would include outfits believed worn by Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.Autumn de Wilde arrives at the 2022 Met Gala Photograph: Kevin Mazur/MG22/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue What is the Met Gala? A quick explainerįor those of us who may not be full-time material girls, Guardian Australia’s Lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman explains what exactly the Met Gala is. The exhibit would focus, they said, on key individuals shaping American fashion through history, most of them women, and many of them overlooked by history - not just designers but tailors and dressmakers, for example.īolton said Scorsese would show his work in a 20th- century living room designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and King in a 19th-century parlor from Richmond, Virginia.ĭe Wilde will show hers in the Baltimore and Benkard Rooms Zhao in a Shaker Retiring Room from the 1830s Bravo in the Rococo Revival Parlor and Gothic Revival Library Coppola in the McKim, Mead and White Stair Hall and Worsham-Rockefeller Dressing Room Dash in the Greek Revival Parlor and Renaissance Revival Room and Ford in the gallery showcasing John Vanderlyn’s panoramic 1819 mural of Versailles.īolton also explained that six “case studies” will appear in the galleries, offering an in-depth look - “almost forensic analyses,” he said - at historical garments important to the history of fashion. ![]() On Tuesday, Bolton and museum director Max Hollein told a press gathering at the museum that each of the eight directors would create their own “fictional cinematic vignettes, or ‘freeze frames,’” within specific American Wing period rooms. And youth: A majority of its garments come from younger designers, many of whom have never had their creations shown in a museum, Bolton said when it opened in September. That exhibit attempts to focus on themes of social justice, diversity and inclusivity, and body acceptance. In addition, some of the garments that have been on display in Part One will be rotated out next month, to include other designers not yet featured. Whereas Part One, which will remain on display in the rooms of the Anna Wintour Costume Center, explores “a new language of American fashion,” Part Two looks at “unfamiliar sartorial narratives filtered through the imaginations of some of America’s most visionary film directors,” Bolton said in remarks Tuesday. This exhibit, to open along with what the museum hopes will be a full-sized gala on May 2 - a return to the traditional first Monday in May - will feature about 100 examples of men’s and women’s fashion from the 19th to the mid-late 20th century. The first part opened in September along with a pared-down “mini-gala,” one of two galas planned within one year as the Costume Institute grapples with pandemic restrictions, like every other arts institution. The latest exhibit - “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” - is actually the second part of a major two-part show exploring the roots of American fashion. The other four are Janicza Bravo, Julie Dash, Autumn de Wilde and Tom Ford, the celebrated fashion designer who is also a film director. Star curator Andrew Bolton on Tuesday announced the list of eight directors who will create what he called “cinematic vignettes” in the period rooms of the American Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A group of top film directors including Sofia Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Regina King and last year’s Oscar winner Chloé Zhao will be a key part of the Costume Institute exhibit launching the gala in May.

It also wants to make sure new research boosts climate preparedness, “ranging from a farmer assessing what to do with a single field, to global leaders weighing decisions impacting the entire world”. Nasa’s earth science division director Karen St Germain said the agency does not merely want to accelerate scientific discovery. Some rightwing lawmakers are attempting to curtail funding to climate-related projects, including some of Nasa’s. And they said the agency is aiming to help curb planet-warming pollution as well, for instance by researching lower-carbon forms of air travel. Leaders detailed an array of other projects tracking environmental changes, including ones that track air pollution, methane emissions, and tropical cyclones and hurricanes. An in-person exhibit in the agency’s headquarters opened to the public last week, and next week an online version will launch on Nasa’s website, Nelson said. Its newest initiative, the Earth Information Center, will make climate data from Nasa’s 25 satellites available to view in real time. “You think of Nasa as a space agency, you think of Nasa as an aeronautical research agency,” said Nelson.

The last major El Niño, from 2014 to 2016, led to each of those years successively breaking the global temperature record, and 2016 is currently the Earth’s hottest year ever recorded, Schmidt said.Įxperts at the meeting raised the alarm about the changes Earth is experiencing and said they are directly linked to greenhouse gas emissions, though they stopped short of naming the source of the majority of those emissions: fossil fuels. Scientists anticipate that 2024 will be even hotter than 2023, as an El Niño weather pattern – known for a tendency to boost global temperatures – will likely peak toward the end of this year. While his calculations show Earth has a 50% chance of setting that record this year, other models say there is as much as an 80% chance, he said. “There has been a decade-on-decade increase in temperatures throughout the last four decades.”Įarth saw its hottest June on record, according to Nasa’s global temperature analysis, the agency announced last week.Īll this heat, Schmidt said, is “certainly increasing the chances” that 2023 will be the hottest year on record.

This means Engage feels like a grand adventure where you’re always on the move – and while you can’t stray from the game’s pre-determined path, optional missions will let you backtrack to recruit new characters, pick up some extra loot, and snag more exp for your characters. ![]() Players still have a social hub to visit between the game’s turn-based battles, but since Engage is tied together with an on-rails world map, you spend far less time there than you may have at Garreg Mach.
