Paparazzi games for lives2/17/2024 It looks like other franchise classics are remaining too, like Weazle News, which is bringing us simulated TV news as well as the in-car radio as the game setting returns to the fictionalised Miami-like "Vice City," with the game's first female protagonist. Paparazzi are only drafted from the pool of. Admittedly the emoticons and type on top help too again, though, it is interesting to reflect how embedded these are in our lives since the GTA5 release in 2013 (in real life the year of the Boston Marathon bombing, Alex Ferguson's retirement and the arrival of the Sony A7). Paparazzi are very much a part of the lives of celebrities, taking pictures of and spreading rumors about them. Newest Name Popularity Rating Trophy Roborazzi 3. It's fascinating to see the game developers Rockstar playing with aspect ratios in their trailer because it reveals just how much the shape of an image now tells us, as viewers, about its meaning. In games of paparazzi, you play the role of photographers and you may have to face the wrath of the stars who have enough that their private lives are exposed.

The best body cameras are another aspect of daily life for many police and security officers which have emerged since the previous edition of the game, now more than a decade old. Other missions seem to depend on indoor security cameras, and even (judging by the overlay) something purporting to be a police bodycam.

Ewg sunscreen study2/17/2024 Thanks for the balanced post explaining some of the differences between FoE’s and EWG’s reports – a few points: In the meantime, if we are to avoid the real harm that over-exposure to the sun can cause, we have little choice but to select among sunscreen formulations - all of which contain insufficiently tested ingredients - hoping that whatever we do is better than the burn. This is a clear opportunity for FDA to be more proactive, by requiring that more data be developed to demonstrate sunscreen ingredient safety, and that more data be made publicly available so that consumers can make better-informed choices. The US Food and Drug Administration will soon be updating its “Sunscreen Monograph” – the regulatory document that specifies what chemicals can be used in sunscreen formulations, and in what concentrations. The one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the lack of adequate safety data makes it hard to draw definitive conclusions regarding the safety of nanomaterials in sunscreens. EWG argues that, in addition to being more effective, sunscreens made with nanoscale zinc and titanium oxides generally contain fewer hazardous ingredients overall.Ī range of opinions regarding nanoscale zinc and titanium oxides are available on popular websites, including Treehugger, Huffington Post, and the Green Guide. As summarized by EWG, these non-nano ingredients are linked to a number of health hazards, including cancer and developmental and reproductive toxicity. In contrast, Environmental Working Group, while recognizing the critical data gaps, generally ranks sunscreens with nanoscale zinc and titanium oxides as having a lower hazard than those containing the most common active ingredients, such as oxybenzone and octyl methoxycinnamate. Meanwhile, because of these problems, Friends of the Earth ranks nanomaterial-containing sunscreens among the worst. Some environmental advocacy groups, such as Friends of the Earth, citing the lack of safety data and unclear product labeling, have called on the Food and Drug Administration to require more testing and exercise better regulatory oversight. Nanoscale materials may require additional scrutiny, however, because their properties can differ from their bulk-scale counterparts. The sunscreens are then released into lakes or oceans, or washed down the drain with the bathwater with unknown environmental effects.įirst, it must be pointed out that the same concern – lack of adequate safety data - applies to many of the traditional chemical sunscreen ingredients. One of the concerns raised by using nanoscale titanium dioxide and zinc oxide in sunscreens is the dearth of safety data on potential health that could arise from applying nanoscale minerals to the skin on a daily basis – including to skin that may be damaged (e.g., already sunburned). These days, nanoscale titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are increasingly popular sunscreen ingredients, as they provide a UV barrier but are nearly transparent. The zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in these nose-protecting potions form a thick, white barrier that blocks damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation by reflecting and scattering light. We all recall the white noses of the beach lifeguards. But which kind of sunscreen is best? There is a mesmerizing array of sunscreen options, but for our purposes let’s limit the question to one: Nano or not nano? Before you go outside, be sure to grab your sunscreen, that essential product that protects against skin cancer and sun damage. , is a Health Scientist.Īh, summer! It’s a great time to be outdoors, enjoying the warm, sunny weather.

Lyrical writing v s purple prose2/17/2024 Now before we dive into the two branches of author voice, let's make one thing clear: Prose will not make or break your story. It stands to reason, then, that how you experience a story is greatly affected by the prose through which it is presented. How crisp or how humid that air is directly affects you, and if it smells, you might be inclined to leave the forest. Every sound must first change the pressure in the air to reaches your ears. Everything you see is filtered through it, whether it is as clear as a spring noon or thick with rolling mist. If engaging characters, robust plots, lush settings, and engrossing conflict make up the trees and earth and moss of a forest, then you might consider prose to be the air all around you. For now, pay attention.Īt the heart of good prose is the author's voice. If you want to know which one is best, there's something about an isle at the end of this workshop. We'll cover all three, starting here with author voice, which can often be divided into two camps or styles. It can get tricky, mostly because even when we talk about voice in prose, we don't always know if we mean author voice, character voice, or aesthetic voice/tone. This is largely an introductory lesson to ensure that we're all on the same page with prose. Now the paper factory was shut down and the computer plant was failing - they could make them a lot cheaper in Taiwan, it turned out, just like those portable TVs and transistor radios." In 1980, the town had had two industries, a factory that made paper products (for picnics and barbeques mostly) and a plant that made electronic calculators. They would have expected the same deferral if they had been gathered together in one of their business establishments. "It was Bill Hapscomb's station, so the others deferred to him even though he was a pure fool. In fact there were none of these things, and so the silence remained." If there had been a crowd, even a handful of men inside the inn, they would have filled the silence with conversation and laughter, the clatter and clamor one expects from a drinking house during the dark hours of night. If there had been a wind, it would have sighed through the trees, set the inn's sign creaking on its hooks, and brushed the silence down the road like trailing autumn leaves. The most obvious part was a hollow, echoing quiet, made by things that were lacking. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.

War thunder codes 20192/16/2024 However, the more specialized ends such as light and heavy tanks begin shining in prominence however as they bring better mobility and firepower to the matches respectively. While Rank I-III American tanks do generally well against their counterparts, the tanks slowly begin to fall behind in tank traits in Rank IV, as the average medium tank could not easily compete in face-to-face combat against the common foe. One general advantage in American tanks is the presence of a gun stabilizer, which allows the gun to lay more easily during slow movements or when coming to a halt. However, this also means that against enemies that are more focused to a specific trait, the American tanks would do poorly in regards. The American starter tanks epitomize the rest of the American tech tree with a mediocrity that gives each tank a balance of firepower, mobility, and protection. Armour is also good with an average amount throughout the body while not thick enough to resist a full-on hit, they could provide some lucky ricochets from poorly angled incoming shots. The American tanks' good mobility allows them to take on advantageous position against enemy routes, with their firepower allowing them to penetrate foes with ease. This mix in characteristics make the tanks very versatile in their battlefield performance when used correctly. The starter American tanks have a good mix of mobility and protection in their overall design, combined with a fast-firing cannon to do good work against the enemy. These descriptions will cover the first impressions of each country and the trends in tank characteristics as a player progresses in the tech tree.ĭo note that these are very general descriptions of the tech tree and that individual vehicles present in each nation can have their own characteristics that may differ from the trends. With seven nations in the game as of Update 1.85 "Supersonic", there are lots of starting points to choose from for the War Thunder tank career. The exchange is available in the “Workshop” - Exchange items “Operation W.I.N.T.E.R.”.This section's purpose is to get the player adequately ready in jumping into a War Thunder tank battle, starting from choosing a nation towards joining a battle. From the 23rd of December, PlayStation and Xbox players will be able to exchange decoration and decal coupons for similar ones (you can exchange coupons of the same type).The option of trading each coupon separately depends on the time of its receipt and doesn’t depend on the vehicle coupon. The time from which the coupon can be traded can be viewed in the game in the coupon description. Prizes received in the form of coupons will be available for trading on the market from 15th of January 2021.Don't make a mistake in choosing between the group of achievements - pilots, tankers and sailors. Missed Stars ⭐ can be purchased in the Achievement window until the 14th of January 2021.By completing the same task in naval battles, the task will always be counted for naval vessels. By completing the task “Win 11 times” in combined ground battles, the task will be counted as completed with the type of vehicle in which you finished the battle (ground vehicle or aircraft of the specified rank).

Realistic 2006 scanner2/16/2024 Yes, I know about the Opto interface (won't program scanner memories) and I am fully aware of the SDR world, but I like running receivers without depending on PC's for control.Īn suggestions? comments?. It's a shame because the PRO-2006 is such a great scanner but I just can't see myself programing 400 memories with manual button pushes today. It's been many years since I've done any programming (quick basic, some C) so I might just have to throw in the towel on this one. After doing some research (lots) I came to the conclusion that it might me possible but would most likely require coding some sort of micro controller, perhaps a Pic processor?. The interface uses a CMOS switch IC and a custom programmed serial to parallel IC. The closest thing I could find is a program called "Programit" which is still downloadable but the components for the interface are no longer available. (programming the scanner memories from a PC). I wanted to try and implement that same concept today for my current PRO-2006. The programmed micro controller translated the RS232 commands to basically button pushes to program the scanners memories. The installation involved making connections between the HB-232 PCB and the front panel row and column button connection points on the Pro-2006. The software was run on a PC running MS-DOS. Of course, no longer available, unobtainium. This was the "HB-232" sold by Comtronics. I installed many of these useful mods including one that added a custom RS232 interface that allowed you to load memories from a simple ASCII text file. There were/are several great modification books published by Bill Cheek aimed at the Pro-2006. Just ordered it.Back in the day, (early 80's) I had several Radio Shack Pro-2006 scanners. A truly singular and terrible experience in the annals of humankind.Ĭhrist, I was going to hold off on buying this until it was cheaper but all this talkin' has got me worked up. I've been mildly obsessed with the Titanic since I was a kid-and there's so many elements of it that are horrifying and fascinating-but what has always struck me the most is what it must have been like being in those boats while the ship went down. In the minds of many the 2006 was the best conventional desktop scanner ever made, and I cant really disagree with that on too many levels. Those were some composed individuals, but I suppose times were different then. The 2006 used the same package as the 2005, but incorporated several additional improvements in performance as well as increased scan/search speed and so on. It's hard to discount the similarities and the specific details from those who reported seeing the ship break apart. It's still remarkable to read the eyewitness accounts from some of the folks who very much seem to have witnessed the entire event and somehow kept it together. It's hard to know just how dark it would have been (I'm pretty sure the moon was not out that night, so it would have been quite dark indeed) but it was almost certainly dead silent due to the freezing temperatures, the lack of wind, and the unusually calm seas, which must have made things even more terrifying for those in the lifeboats who were able to hear every last sound coming from the ship and passengers as it sunk.

Crax commander mac2/16/2024 ForkLift 2.5 (also quite good though not with many features, but had some issues with some archives, especially 7z, the development seems to be progressing rather slowly) Path Finder 6 & 7 (quite good - though pretty far from the TC experience, but still missing full FTP support, no SFTP support.) There exists an entitlement to avoid this, however Apple doesn't accept (in MAS) applications that require such entitlement.īecause I'm moving between OS X and Windows frequently and I use Total Commander at Windows, I prefer a file manager that would be very similar to it. That's the main reason why I ditched DCommander though I quite liked it otherwise. Will you please share what is the File Manager of your choice and why?įirst, I stopped using any file managers from Mac App Store due to them quarantining every single file they touch. The application is ForkLift2 ($29.95, trial version provided). Next day, received detailed answers to my questions with the chance provided to use the full-featured version. When I faced problems, mainly because I had the MAS-version, I contacted the support team. It was well designed in a Bauhaus simple style, clear, user-friendly, very flexible and last but not least powerful. In August I'd been browsing the Mac App Store and found a software. I stayed with the Finder that caused me a lot of headaches because of its bugs and limited functuonality. Tried a number of alternatives (some from the above list), but they were far from my liking for different reasons. When I started to use a Mac, I had a lot of trouble finding a Total Commander-like program. Total Manager - $14.99 (trial version provided). Files - Files Lite is free, the Pro version costs $24.99. DCommander - $20.99 (30-day trial provided). Commander One - Standard version is free, PRO Pack is $29.95. TotalFinder - $9 (14-day trial provided). Nowdays, Mac users have a lot of options to find an orthodox or even unorthodox file manager for their liking that enhances or replaces the Finder: Path Finder - $39.95 (30-day trial provided).

Best muzzle for dogs that bark2/16/2024 Some dogs bark at people or other animals to gain attention or rewards, like food, toys or play. Alarm barking is different than territorial barking in that a dog might alarm bark at sights or sounds in any location at all, not just when he’s defending familiar areas, such as your house, yard or car. Dogs engaged in alarm barking usually have stiffer body language than dogs barking to greet, and they often move or pounce forward an inch or two with each bark. If your dog barks at any and every noise and sight regardless of the context, he’s probably alarm barking. Your dog's territory includes the area surrounding his home and, eventually, anywhere he has explored or associates strongly with you: your car, the route you take during walks and other places where he spends a lot of time. Why Dogs Barkĭogs can bark excessively in response to people, dogs or other animals within or approaching their territories. In addition, some breeds are known as “barkers,” and it can be harder to decrease barking in individuals of these breeds. Bear in mind that some dogs are more prone to barking than others. (Would you expect a person to suddenly stop talking altogether?) Your goal should be to decrease, rather than eliminate, the amount of barking. Unfortunately, it’s just not realistic to expect a quick fix or to expect that your dog will stop barking altogether. It will take some time to teach your dog to bark less. If you want to reduce your dog’s barking, it’s crucial to determine why he’s barking. For instance, a dog’s bark sounds different when he wants to play as compared to when he wants to come in from the yard. Many owners can identify why their dog is barking just by hearing the specific bark. For this reason, it’s important to train your dog to be quiet on cue so that you can stop his attention-related barking and teach him to do another behavior instead-like sit or down-to get what he wants. For example, dogs who successfully bark for attention often go on to bark for other things, like food, play and walks. Because barking serves a variety of functions, you must identify its cause and your dog’s motivation for barking before you can treat a barking problemĮach type of barking serves a distinct function for a dog, and if he’s repeatedly rewarded for his barking-in other words, if it gets him what he wants-he can learn to use barking to his benefit. However, sometimes a dog’s barking can be excessive. People are often pleased that their dog barks, because it alerts them to the approach of people to their home or it tells them there’s something that the dog wants or needs. Barking is one of many forms of vocal communication for dogs. |
