Wtf were you doing that took 250 hours hahaha. I like how he said he has 250 hours in it. Some phrases were spoken just before starting a new ball and every time the ball entered the upper playfield kick-out hole.Here's a good one. Has speech recorded entirely in Spanish on an 8-track cartridge? Different speech phrases would play at random, and other specific phrases such as “Don’t shake me” (if tilted) were played at a corresponding moment. The drop targets look like the round stationary targets used in many other games.

This should address some flickering and maybe improve stability. – We fixed lighting uniforms not assigning properly on some GPU drivers. The bigger-by-default texture memory should improve stability in some situations. Previous settings of 64MB are rewritten to this value. – We bumped the default maximum texture memory to 256MB. – The game now writes out all Aliases to nwn.ini even if the file already existed. – The game now supports KTX texture containers. – The game now supports normal DDS textures without having to mangle the header. Gamma only affects the rendered ingame scenery, not menus or UI, as it is applied through a FBO shader, not GL/system-wide gamma correction. This value is persisted to nwn.ini (under a new configuration key). ![]() – You can type Gamma x in the console, where x is a floating point value larger than 0.

Язык интерфейса: English, Deutsch, español, français, italiano, polski ![]() ![]() The lack of an optical drive is understandable given the Mini-Note's tiny size, but because of the storage options, most users can easily live without one. The built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam is a necessary add-on given the prevalence of video chat clients like AOL and Skype. The Wi-Fi on/off switch located on the bezel controls both Bluetooth and 802.11a/b/g (that is, if you put the switch to "off," it turns off both Bluetooth and 802.11 functions). Like the Eee PC, it comes with an SD slot for those who will be carrying around their digital cameras. The two USB ports are one shy of matching the Eee PC's three, but the Mini-Note has an ExpressCard slot for devices like a 3G ExpressCard for cellular broadband. HP has informed me that the touchpad was used because the Mini-Note's intended audience-K-12 students-prefer it over a pointing stick. I'm surprised HP didn't use a pointing stick as it did on its Compaq 2710p, in which the mouse buttons are properly placed-below the pointing device. The other way would be to use two hands to surf (one to left-click, the other for the touchpad and right-click button), which is awkward. In other words, when navigating with two fingers (with the index finger on the touchpad and your thumb on the left-click button), you have to use a third finger to click on the right mouse button. The placement of the mouse buttons, however, is questionable because they are adjacent to the touchpad. Typing up this review on the Mini-Note was almost as comfortable as it would have been on a mainstream laptop with a full-size keyboard and is hands-down better than the Eee PC's keyboard. There's barely any spacing between each key, giving the illusion of a bigger keyboard. HP did a nice job of masking the fact that the keyboard scale is 92 percent, not full size. By contrast, the HTC Shift sports an 800-by-480 resolution, but because of the Shift's smaller screen size, HTC had to put in a resolution toggle switch (to 1,024-by-600), allowing users to fit more content on the screen. Further, the size of the screen keeps text or images at its native 1,280-by-768 resolution from looking unbearably tiny. "Frameless" refers to the glossy coating on the screen that extends to the screen's borders, making it look like a miniature HDTV, complete with a pair of speakers along the sides. The 8.9-inch screen is bigger and brighter than the Eee PC's 7-inch display. The masterful design is carried over to the interior, where a frameless screen and a wonderful keyboard reside. Although the Mini-Note isn't pocketable like the Fujitsu LifeBook U810, carrying it around the country or the city is still an absolute joy. Not as light as the 2.2-pound ASUS Eee PC 4G, it weighs 2.8 pounds with the three-cell battery and 3.2 pounds with the six-cell battery that my test unit came with. ![]() The Mini-Note is about as well made as the HTC Shift but costs only half as much. It makes this tiny laptop look like a darker, miniature Apple MacBook Pro. The anodized aluminum that HP draped all over the exterior is absolutely gorgeous. The Mini-Note is designed to look like a $2,000 machine. My configuration was relatively expensive others start as low as $499-a price that HP had to nail down in order for the Mini-Note to fly. Even more compelling, however, is that this miniature device can be used by kindergarteners or top-level executives alike, and is affordable to most families with schoolchildren. It sports a sexy, 3-pound design, has features similar to the Eee PC, and offers a variety of operating systems to choose from. The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC ($749 direct) has the potential to be just that. Now, manufacturers are mobilizing to create an Eee PC "killer," so to speak. The Eee PC is a sleek, 2.2-pound ultraportable that costs less than $400-something the UMPC platform had promised but failed to deliver. It didn't take long for PC makers to realize the gold mine ASUS struck with its Eee PC 4G. ![]() ![]() It can be activated if you land three Board Bonus icons on the first, the third, and the fifth reels. Board Bonus Featureīoard Bonus is one of the most engaging and detailed features in the Monopoly slot game. However, Mr Monopoly could continue jumping from reel to reel, thus turning all of them wild and opening up the door to potentially huge wins. Winning combinations are easier to form when Mr Monopoly has chosen a wild symbol. As a result, Mr Monopoly can be seen onscreen as he jumps from reel to reel until a wild symbol is chosen. This bonus is triggered when a player cannot land on one of the Board Bonus, or Logo symbols on any of the reels. Instead, a Mystery Wild Bonus is activated randomly. There are no wild icons in this variation. Monopoly Plus is one of the variations that are highly reminiscent of the legendary game. Similar to the Monopoly board game which comes with several different nuances, the slot machine also treats players to an unpredictable and fun time while offering an opportunity to bag cash prizes. Despite bearing a classic look, the slot machine is attractive, to say the least, owing to crisp visuals and vibrant colours. However, IGT’s innovation has always sprung up a surprise, and as such, the animations and graphics in the Monopoly slot game are truly wonderful. ![]() On your screen, you can see the standard square board consisting properties and elements synonymous with the board game. Slots lovers will realize that there aren’t many differences between the design of a traditional Monopoly board and IGT’s slot machines. Design of Monopoly SlotsĬonsidering the widespread popularity of Monopoly as a board game, people across the world are quite familiar with what to expect from it. ![]() Some of them include Movers & Shakers, Once Around, Advance to Boardwalk, Monopoly Plus, Here and Now, Pass Go and Chairman of the Board, among others. Unlike most other slot games, Monopoly comes with different variations. What makes the slot machines more appealing and intriguing than the board game is the fact that players can win real money in casinos, and take it home instead of returning it to the dealer at the end of a rollicking time! Like the board game, players are guaranteed loads of fun with the Monopoly slot machines. Monopoly is among the most popular and cherished board games ever created, and IGT has brought the favourite pastime activity of a million homes to casino floors with many unique variations. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps the greatest take-away is the power limitation of the Arduino. One more thing, these strips are "common anode," meaning the LEDs share a positive terminal ( read about anode vs. Not all RGB LED strip is powered in the 9-12V range, such as Adafruit's digitally addressable RGB LED strip). Be sure to look at your product's datasheet to prevent frying your components. ![]() For example, since an average RGB LED requires 3.3 V and 60mA (at full brightness each color channel draws 20mA, so R-G-B all on at same time is 20 x 3 = 60mA), each strip of 3 RGB LEDs will require approximately 9.9V ( the strip I'm using from Jameco can be powered between 9-12V. Basically, when active components are connected in series, their supply voltages are added together. parallel (this page has a simple explanation with great illustrations, and there is a popular Instructable that covers wiring LEDs in series & parallel). To understand how the RGB LED strip can be powered with 9-12V, you need to know the difference between circuits in series vs. If you want to cut the strip at any point, just be sure to leave connection points on each halve. Without getting too technical, its worth knowing that individual strips are made up of 3 LEDs in series which can be cut with clippers at any junction. To accommodate a load that requires more current than 40mA at 5V, we will use our microcontroller to control a transistor, which will provide a component with power from an external source (the battery). To refer to the water analogy of electronics, the "pump pressure" is 5V, and the amount of water is the number of electrons (measured in Amps, or in our case, a much smaller amount - milliamps, mA). ![]() ![]() In other words, a component cannot draw more than 40mA of current from each channel. If you are new to Arduino and are wondering why more than a few LEDs or other components like motors won't activate when functions are called in the code, its because each output has a current limit of 40mA. Adafruit produces one variety called NeoPixels and they have an excellent guide. individually controllable LEDs), so I added an additional section for these as well (circuit and code). Update 2015: A lot of people seem to be interested in digitally-addressable LEDs (opposed to LEDs in "series", in other words the ones that blink together vs. You will need: - A Microcontroller - Breadboard or PCB - RGB LED strip - Battery (9-12v) - 3 NPN transistors (I'm using TIP 120s) - LM7805 Voltage regulator (optional, but recommended) - (4) 4-40 screws (length, up to you) - (4) 4-40 nuts - (4) nylon washers - 22g hookup wire I will discuss how to mount a transistor to a heatsink & assemble the circuit but won't get into soldering as some RGB LED strips come with leads (and there is no shortage of great tutorials out there). * Adafruit Arduino - Lesson 3.This Instructable covers the assembly of a circuit capable of PWM-ing ( pulse width modulating) a 9-12v RGB LED strip and programming an Arduino to cycle through a range of colors. The following sketch code changes the color of the LED, running through a series of colors. Here is a photograph of the final breadboard arrangement with the Arduino Leo: We do the same thing here, except now, instead of a single wire connecting to a single resistor ahead of a single LED, we have three wires connecting to three resistors ahead of three legs of our single RGB LED. With our Hello World Arduino Micro project we already encountered resistors ahead of an LED. The following is a diagram of the breadboard layout for our simple Hello World program. This is a simple circuit to turn on the LED and cycle through different colors. For example, to make purple, you'd turn on the red and blue LEDs and turn off the green LED. Like a pixel on a computer screen, you can control the output of all three lights to create different colors. The RGB LED has three different colors of LED inside of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() This project officially started in August, 2014, under the supervision of Prof. At the same time however, the award of a 4-year grant from NWO, the Dutch governmental organization for the funding of scientific research, made it possible to scale up this research to a PhD project that would focus on the role of improvisation in 19 th-century music making. This project, entitled ‘Classical Improvisation’, was intended to be carried on in the form of the Master Research project, presented here. It all started during the academic year 2012-2013 with a small scale research under the flag of ‘KC teachers’ research’. This research project does not stand alone.

Improvisation and fixation: score, context, interpretation and improvisationģ.4.1 The first level of meaning: the meaning of notational signsģ.4.2 The second level of meaning: the meaning of a scoreĤ. Dr Hans Fidom (VU University Amsterdam)ģ. Improvising on basis of 19 th-century music making Historically Inspired Improvisation - Improvising on basis of 19th-century music making. Drawing upon the theory of loci communes, I will work out an example of how I think Czerny’s book can still be a valuable source of inspiration today. Czerny turns out to presume skills that are no longer self-evident to musicians of today, while on the other hand issues which are nowadays important are not addressed in his text at all. It is interesting to compare such insights with original treatises on improvisation, especially Carl Czerny’s Anleitung zum Fantasieren auf dem Pianoforte (1829). I will analyse and comment upon this recording, developing the idea of musical ‘loci communes’ which enables us to connect improvisation with the interpretation of a score. In my essay, a recorded student improvisation will be taken as a starting point. In this way, improvisation has the potential to fertilize all our ‘musicking’ (Chr. ‘H.I.I.’ doesn’t necessarily aim for style imitations rather, it works the other way around: integrating what we can use from historical music practices into our own creative music making. I would like to propose the notion of ‘historically inspired improvisation’ instead, indicating improvisation which uses thorough knowledge about music making in the past as a source of inspiration. These terms are not without problems, though. An environment has been created which fosters the idea that improvisation is important for classical musicians, and a lot of experience has been gathered in teaching improvisation to those students.īut what precisely do we mean with the word improvisation? And how exactly do we argue that improvisation is important for the new generations of conservatoire students? Improvisation by classical musicians is often referred to as ‘classical improvisation’ or ‘improvisation in a classical style’. The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (The Netherlands) invests in ‘classical’ improvisation. In order to become, like musicians from the past, creative performers who are able to enter into a living relationship with the music, learning how to improvise seems to be a valuable means. More and more musicians become aware of the artistic limitations of this approach. As a result of this attitude the musical languages of the common practice period have become dead languages, more or less like Latin and Ancient Greek, which are (with very few exceptions) no longer spoken actively but only translated into modern languages. This is usually a one way process: without a score there will be no music. The average modern classical musician, the performer of music from the common practice era, tends to perform from scores only, and to treat a score like a text that should be converted into sound as precisely as possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() Give the placemark(s) titles and descriptions and pick icons.

Pushing your side button in for a long length of time if when talking for an extended period causes your hand to strain which can impact the precision of your aim. The only downside of using the mouse as your push to talk key is that it can effect your aim. These buttons are easy to reach, keep your hand free for keyboard movement and don’t interfere with any of your keybinds for actions within the game. One of the most popular keys for push to talk is the mouse 4 or 5 buttons or the side buttons as they are often called.

If you have ones you rely on for specific movement or actions, the last thing you will want to do is set your push to talk key to any of these buttons.Īnother thing you will want to consider when picking your push to talk key is how accessible it is. The first of these is what keybinds you use in your favourite games. How To Pick The Most Optimal KeyĬhoosing the correct key will depend on a variety of different factors. Having gone through a selection of different keys I have a few tips towards helping you pick one and what to avoid. Something many PC gamers struggle with however, is choosing the most efficient push to talk key. One of the best parts of gaming online is the possibilities for interacting and talking to other players all around the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Antigens are often proteins present on the outside of pathogens like viruses or bacteria. Your immune system is activated by what’s known as an antigen. Immune cells become activated when they recognize something in your body as foreign, like pathogens. The cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA soon after it's finished using the instructions.Your immune system protects you from external threats, such as disease-causing germs called pathogens. mRNA vaccines do their work outside of the nucleus (in a space called the cytoplasm) and have not been observed to interact with the nucleus. COVID-19 vaccines cannot change your DNA.ĭNA is stored in the nucleus of your cells. Can the COVID-19 vaccines change your DNA? A much smaller amount of mRNA vaccine went to farther away lymph nodes. A lot of mRNA vaccine was found in local lymph nodes, which peaked about eight hours after the shot was given. ![]() Most of the mRNA vaccine stayed in the injection site muscle – where you get the shot. That means the vaccine did its job (made spike proteins, which caused the creation of antibodies) and will be cleared from the body.Īnother peer-reviewed study tested exactly where an mRNA vaccine went in mice. Finding pieces of spike protein in the lymph nodes is completely normal, because lymph nodes act as the trash removal service for the body. A key part of the lymphatic system, lymph nodes also clean up fluids and remove waste materials. ![]() This makes sense: Lymph nodes produce white blood cells and antibodies to protect us from disease. Vaccines mostly remain near the site of injection (the arm muscle) and local lymph nodes. Here's a peer-reviewed study that shows where intramuscular vaccines (which all three of the COVID-19 vaccines are) travel in macaques (a type of monkey). The Novavax vaccine introduces the actual protein into your body to produce an immune response similar to many other vaccines currently in use. It remembers what it saw and when you are exposed to coronavirus in the future it can rapidly mount an effective immune response. This "learning the enemy" process is how the immune system figures out how to defeat the real coronavirus. The immune system quickly identifies, attacks and destroys the spike proteins because it recognizes them as not part of you. The Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) estimates that the spike proteins that were generated by COVID-19 vaccines last up to a few weeks, like other proteins made by the body. How long do spike proteins last in the body? mRNA is very fragile that's one reason why mRNA vaccines must be so carefully preserved at very low temperatures. The cell breaks the mRNA up into small harmless pieces. The cells make copies of the spike protein and the mRNA is quickly degraded (within a few days). The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work by introducing mRNA (messenger RNA) into your muscle cells. So antibodies created against the spike protein won't harm your body, they will only target coronavirus. The spike protein is unique to SARS-CoV-2 – it doesn't look like other proteins your body makes. Its location on the outside of the virus makes it so the immune system can recognize it easily. The spike protein is located on the outside of a coronavirus and is how SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus) enters human cells. Why do they use spike proteins?įor COVID-19 vaccines, all of the approved vaccines so far used the spike protein. There is no evidence that any mRNA or protein accumulates in any organ. Here we break down the data to show where mRNA vaccines (and spike proteins) travel in the body. Some have expressed concern that the spike protein or other parts of the mRNA vaccines build up in the body, particularly in the ovaries or the brain. When it encounters the virus or bacteria in the real world it mounts a strong immune response preventing or decreasing the severity of infection. While the piece introduced by the vaccine rapidly fades away, your body's immune system remembers what it saw. Vaccines generally work by introducing a piece of a virus or bacteria into your body so you can develop long-lasting immunity to the pathogen. ![]() |
