However, Xamarin allows you to call existing platform code (e.g. In most cases engineers will be able to handle development keeping the native look and feel of the respective platforms within the Xamarin environment. Xamarin provides access to platform-specific SDKs (Cocoa Touch for iOS and Android SDK) via simple C# syntax. These and some other products from the Xamarin stack will be discussed in a bit. Additionally, engineers can use Xamarin.Mac to build applications for Mac OS. Xamarin.Forms is a separate product designed to create prototypes or mobile apps sharing up to 100 percent of the code across iOS and Android. However, in both cases the process is automated and tailored to handle such issues as memory allocation, garbage collection, and platform interoperability by default. In the case of iOS, the source code is compiled directly into native ARM assembly code (Ahead-of-Time compilation), while Android Xamarin apps are first compiled down to Intermediate Language and then - into native assembly code at runtime (Just-in-Time compilation). The platform has two major products: Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android. Thus, Xamarin cross-platform apps look 100% native on any device, providing a better user experience, as compared to generic hybrid apps.Ĭompilation.

Being a comparatively new tool, it is based on the Microsoft technology stack and already has a community of over 1.4 million developers. Xamarin is a tool used for cross-platform mobile app development that allows engineers to share up to 90 percent of code across major platforms. It’s impossible to ignore Xamarin when talking about the key approaches to mobile application development. If you know the basics, consider skipping to the sections you are interested in. In this article, we conduct an in-depth Xamarin review and compare it to native and cross-platform mobile development solutions on the market.

However, you can just leave the stock Harley 12mm O2 sensors in place and have the Power Vision read off those sensors in a different mode, but you will not get all the benefits of wide band readings. So, you will need to order header pipes with 18mm bungs or have them welded into your existing headers if you want the PV to read in a wide band mode, which offers better tuning capabilities. Your stock Harley Davidson has narrow-band 12mm O2 sensors and 12mm bungs on your header pipes. Harley charges $210+ for this download for 15 minutes of work. With the Harley dealer standard download you have to return and pay every time they have to flash your Engine Control Module (ECM). The great thing about the Power Vision verses the Harley Davidson dealer standard EFI download is that with the PV you can always change things at any time in the event you change pipes or air intake down the road. You can really increase the performance and efficiency of your motorcycle with the Power Vision, so let us show you how & take the stress out of if. We make this process super easy for you to understand and perform yourself. That gets you started and then you can get more detailed with running auto tune sessions and flashing your ECM afterwards to really dial things in. We show you how to start with a pre-determined (canned) EFI map by Dynojet based on your particular pipe and intake set up. That is where the Power Vision comes into play. If you get new header pipes, mufflers, or air intake on your motorcycle then you need to at least do a basic re-map of your motorcycle's electronic fuel injection (EFI) or things will not run properly. You can pair the Power Vision with a Dynojet Auto Tuner and it is a great solution for tuning your motorcycle's EFI. After watching this tutorial video you will definitely be able to install the Dynojet Power Vision on your own right on the kickstand in your garage or on your patio! No specialty tools are needed.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Before she passed away, rumors circulated that a wealthy and eccentric woman was building a mystereous, sprawling estate. What Sarah Winchester left behind is still a mystery. The Winchester House is Still, Literally, A Mystery The original modest farmhouse grew into the world’s most unusual and sprawling mansion, which currently, at 24,000 square feet, has: It was once the personal residence of Sarah Lockwood Pardee Winchester, the widow of William Wirt Winchester and heiress to a large portion of the Winchester® Repeating Arms fortune.įrom 1886 to 1922, construction seemingly never ceased. The Winchester Mystery House® is an architectural wonder and historic landmark in San Jose, CA. The Mysterious Construction of the Winchester Mansion Some of the tour guides refuse to use the 3rd floor corridors after dark, as they have heard footsteps or a voice calling their name, even when they are completely alone. Per the Winchester Mystery House’s website, “a number of employees-and a few visitors-claim to have crossed paths with ‘Clyde,’ a mustached man sometimes seen pushing a wheelbarrow in the basement, or trying to repair the fireplace in the Ballroom.” Guests have said “We really like the actor who was ‘repairing’ the ballroom fireplace, wearing white overalls and a Victorian boater hat!” To which the staff reply “huh? We didn’t hire an actor.” You might feel Clyde tug on your pants or shirt as you’re winding through the tour. Less officially, both visitors and employees have encountered some ghostly sightings. Called ‘ Who’s Whooooo‘, the brochure gave details of several allegedly haunted locations in the US, including the Winchester House. The US Travel Service, part of the Department of Commerce, published it abroad in the late 1960s. Some sources make the wild claim that the Winchester House is “Certified as Haunted by the US Department of Commerce.” This tale probably originated from a brochure aimed at promoting foreign travel to the US. Since Houdini’s visit, subsequent investigations of the Winchester Mystery House read like a list of who’s who in the paranormal world, including Zak Bagans from Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, renowned psychic Sylvia Browne, and famous medium James Van Praagh. New since Diana’s visit, there is now a Houdini-inspired escape room on the Estate: Houdini‘s Spirited Escape! We hope we can review it for you soon. His visit elicited more questions than answers. He wanted to disprove Spritiualism by debunking the lore that surrounded the recently-deceased Sarah Winchester’s massive, mysterious mansion. Legendary magician Harry Houdini stopped by the Winchester Estate during his 1923-1924 tour.

AKVIS Noise Buster reduces both luminance and color noise on digital images without spoiling other aspects of the photo. Digital noise can be produced by a number of factors: heating of the camera sensor, long exposure shooting, small pixel size (therefore digital compact cameras generate much noisier images than digital SLRs), high ISO settings, etc. There can also be chroma (color) noise which is perceived as random red and blue pixels spoiling the color accuracy of the snap-shot. This kind of noise is called luminance noise. It is especially annoying on the skin as it makes it uneven. It can be seen as grains that compromise the smoothness of the photo.
