5/18/2023 0 Comments Adobe illustrator brushesFor Art and Pattern brushes specifically, the artwork also cannot contain editable type objects. Brushes cannot contain gradients, mesh objects, bitmap images, graphs, placed files, or masks. When you're creating artwork that will be used to define a brush, be aware that brushes cannot understand all kinds of vector objects. The art that is drawn with a Calligraphic brush takes into account the angle and shape of the nib, resulting in natural thicks and thins and variable thickness ( Figure 4.21). The Calligraphic brush allows you to define a nib, or tip, of a pen. Illustrator has four kinds of brushes each offers a different kind of behavior in which art is applied to a path: When using a pressure-sensitive tablet, you can also control how the artwork is applied to the vector paths. The Paintbrush tool applies predefined vector artwork to the paths you draw. The difference is in the appearance of the path it creates. Under the hood, the Paintbrush tool functions exactly like the Pencil tool and allows you to click and drag to create a vector path. By using brushes, you can streamline your work by creating complex artwork with just a few paths. More powerful than you might think, brushes support pressure-sensitive tablets and can even distribute art and patterns along a drawn path. The concept is simple: Instead of drawing a predictable, boring line using the Pencil tool, the Paintbrush tool can create flourishes, lines with tapered ends, and artsy elements that mimic the strokes you can create with Speedball or calligraphy pens. The brushes in Illustrator are such a feature. And every once in a while, a feature is introduced that is so unique and powerful that it changes everything. Some are cool effects, and some add useful functionality. Learn More Buy Unleashing the Power of BrushesĮach version of Illustrator brings new features and tools to the hands of designers.

After learning of the existence of the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", he immediately infiltrated the SRO in an attempt to steal top-secret data. Taking advantage of his influential status, he struck it rich by buying and selling vast numbers of ancient artifacts on the black market. Carter: Jack Merluzzi Founder of the SAI. Having spent years undergoing various types of military training and shining among her peers in virtually every field, her near-superhuman abilities landed her a spot as a member of the ultra-elite "SRO Emergency Inspection Team". After losing both parents in a sudden tragic accident at the age of six, she was raised by Professor Richard Carter, founder of the SRO. Shelia: Hannah Grace The female main character. It is soon discovered that the various beasts and corpses of those who once populated the island have been reanimated by the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", and they're coming for Shelia. To make matters worse, while attempting to calibrate coordinates on the Quantum Transporter, Shelia mistakenly activates the device, immediately transporting everyone in the vicinity to the Floating Island - an airborne continent near the North Pole, undisturbed in its slumber for over 1000 years. In an attempt to take possession of the substance, the "SAI" - a massive terrorist organization controlling its own army - has used a cutting-edge piece of technology known as a "Quantum Transporter" to infiltrate the SRO research facility and steal top-secret and incredibly dangerous data. This substance, known as the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", possesses the ability to reanimate the dead. The 1000-year-old relic swords known as "Kanshou and Bakuya", discovered through SRO research, have been found to comprise a unique multilayered structure, containing a mysterious substance in their cores. This game depicts the maiden adventure of a woman named Shelia in the year 2020. SRO (Supernatural Science Research Organization) agent Shelia's adventure is about to begin.

This application, is like iTunes for your recipes. MacGourmet can also help you publish with ease your recipes to a site or to an eBook- however, it supports only Blogger, Blojsom, MovableType and TypePad, which is a big drawback if you want to publish directly to a WordPress based blog. If you don’t like any of the pre installed viewing styles, you can download more online. The second pane, lists the recipes, and the third one is the recipe itself. Interface is nice and clean, comes with with three panes: the first one, holds the Recipes, Notes, Shopping Lists, and Wine Notes (the only application that, along with clippings- this last one contains recipe text grabbed using Text Clipping), Featured (recipes from MacGourmet online and Kitchenware/Cookbooks from Amazon), Find results and all of the Collection and Smart Collection to sort your recipes. With this application, I had to manually enter the recipe ingredients, but just did a copy/paste with the directions. The first application that we tried out was MacGourmet. *see note at the end of the article (Update Feb, 2011) In this post, we’ll compare the use of the three applications with the same 3 recipes. So, looking around online I found three applications: MacGourmet, SousChef and Yum*. My recipe collection is growing so fast, I find that having Pages documents and folders is not enough, specially when scaling recipes- down for an every day dinner or scaling them up when we have more people over. I love to take pictures, but I’m also a foodie.

The Mother tells Crane that the only way to stop the infection is to summon the God of the Sun to purify the land, sacrificing everybody in Harran in the process. During the day, she is able to retain her mental faculties and has been given telepathic abilities in order to communicate, but at night, she becomes an uncontrollable feral monster. However, rather than being a cure for the virus, the elixir instead slowly turns whoever uses it into a sentient volatile, like it did to the Mother. She reveals that the dam was a secret military facility that held a special chemical substance. Rais' thugs stage an attack on the Mother's base in a nearby dam, but when Crane arrives, he finds both Rais' bandits and the Faceless all dead.Įntering the dam, Crane discovers that the Mother has been turned into a sentient volatile. Crane then discovers that the remnants of Rais' gang have also traveled to the countryside to search for the supposed cure as well. Attila then commits suicide in an attempt to invoke the prophecy, but it fails to occur. Before succumbing to the infection himself, the Colonel gave Atilla a secret code that Atilla passes on to Crane. He also reveals that the Mother was Jasmine, the wife of a local military Colonel who was involved in the experiments that caused the outbreak, but was bitten during the outbreak. Atilla tells Crane that the Children of the Sun believe in a prophecy where a chosen one would rise up to become the prophet of the God of the Sun and purify the infection. The Faceless also reveal that they are working on a permanent cure, and promise that in exchange for his help, they will give Crane the cure to take back to Harran.Ĭrane is then tasked with assisting a man named Atilla, who is working on an important project for the Mother. Eventually, one of the Faceless, the high-ranking members of the cult, approaches Crane and privately admits that their immunity is gained through a special elixir they had discovered, but like Antizin, it only suppresses the infection and does not fully cure it. In order to earn the cult's trust and learn more about the immunity, Crane decides to assist the survivors. He heads out to the countryside, where he discovers that many of the survivors out there have converted to a religious cult called the Children of the Sun, who worship the Mother which is apparently the source of their immunity to the virus. With the Tower running short on Antizin and Camden's efforts to produce a cure still unsuccessful, Crane decides to go investigate this supposed immunity. Protagonist Kyle Crane learns from a survivor near death about a supposed cure to the virus. The asymmetrical multiplayer mode from the first game, Be The Zombie, also returns in The Following. Similar to the first game, the game supports a four-player cooperative multiplayer mode. Players do not have to complete the base game before starting the expansion however, the character progression players earned in The Following will be carried to the base game. Every action made in this mode drains stamina from the player's character. The game also features a new difficulty mode named "Nightmare Mode", which extends the duration of nighttime, and increases the strength and health of enemies. The missions and objectives included in this mode change every day, and players gain experience points by completing them. A new "bounty" mode, which split missions into three different categories: "Basic", "Dailies", and "Community", is introduced. The game features several new weapons, such as a crossbow and a variety of new firearms such as submachine guns and revolvers. Players can also choose from 40 different paintjobs to customize their car, and must collect fuel in order to drive the buggy. The buggy's performance and efficiency are affected by factors including the power of its suspension, engine, and brakes. It has its own separate skill tree, and weapons, including spikes, flamethrowers, UV lights, electrical cages and other upgrades can be added to the buggy to increase its combat abilities. Players can use them to travel across the game's world quickly and mow down enemies. One of the new features introduced is a drivable dune buggy. Players can use parkour movements, such as climbing ledges, leaping, sliding, jumping and zip-lining, to move between places and kill enemies. Set in a map that is twice as large as the two previous maps of Dying Light, The Following's gameplay is similar to that of the main game where the infected are slow and fragile during daytime, and become aggressive and fast at night time. 5/17/2023 0 Comments Inspector gaget movieHe takes her hostage to his helicopter and prepares to make his escape. He tries to elude him, but Gadget keeps on going, so RoboGadget goes to get rid of him once and for all while he goes back to Scolex Industries while still being chased by Gadget's Gadgetmobile and Brenda.īrenda finally catches up with him and attacks Claw after finding out that he killed her father. Gadget is then left on a rubbish heap while Claw carries on with his plan.īut he finds that Gadget is still functional without the chip (thanks to his strong human will) and is chasing him once again with Brenda. He orders RoboGadget to destroy the city (and have fun) and Kramer to remove his chip, but when he can't, Claw removes it and destroys it himself. Gadget finds out that Claw killed Artemus and goes to Scolex Industries to find him, but as he is trying to reclaim the foot that is under high security, he gets captured and taken to Claw.Ĭlaw shows Gadget his robotic imposter and tells him that he plans to make many more obedient deadly cyborgs to be sold around the world for profit that would then help him rule the world. He calls him RoboGadget and orders him to terrorize Riverton. He later discovers via the news that John has resurrected as Inspector Gadget, the first-ever cyborg at the Riverton Police, and infiltrates a party held in Gadget's honor, hiring Brenda to work for Scolex Industries.Ĭlaw later gets hold of the NSA chip that he found out about by hacking into Brenda's computer files and uses it to program his earlier robot, this time made as an exact duplicate of Inspector Gadget except for the large fake white teeth. Scolex, now going by the appropriate moniker "Claw," then precedes to use the equipment he stole and get on with his plan, to make a cyborg of his own, but after several failed attempts to get it to function, he realizes that he needs the Neuron Synapse Amplifier (NSA) Chip - the main power source of the body to function - in order to complete the cyborg. He returns to his main hideout at Scolex Industries where his other henchman, Kramer, replaces his damaged hand with a large mechanical claw. However, the explosion also causes a bowling ball to fly up from John's car and crush Scolex's left hand while he is closing the sunroof. John orders Scolex to surrender, but he lights an exploding cigar and throws it at John's car, causing it to explode and leave John severely injured with bad tissue damage. He activates the oil slick and sends John's car skidding until it turns upside down on the road, telling one of his henchmen, Sykes, who is driving the limousine to stop and enjoy the overturned car crashing into a Yahoo! billboard, causing it to land on the limousine. Just as he is celebrating and makes his escape in his limousine, he is chased by Security Officer John Brown who had promised Brenda that he would bring Artemus' murderer to justice. He kills the lead scientist Artemus Bradford, Brenda's father, and makes off with most of the equipment including a cybernetic foot and a mind-controlling helmet, but left behind an NSA chip. One night he sends electronic tanks and other miniature devices to break into Bradford Robotics Laboratory and steal components of the latest cyborg technology known as the Gadget program. He was a schoolmate of Brenda Bradford's and lost some weight a few years later. It is revealed that Scolex used to be overweight and the world's youngest billionaire. 5/17/2023 0 Comments Iina m1 supportIINA is always looking for contributions, whether it's through bug reports, code, or new translations.

Preparations for our journey across the Vatna now commenced in earnest. I suppose they had never been able to procure any of the legendary gold beneath the falls of Skógarfoss, but they evidently manage to screw a tolerable amount out of travellers who come to admire its beauties. The day was half spent before we were again on our way so we rode briskly to Skógarfoss, one of the largest and most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, where there is a very good farm, and the people are extremely thrifty. After taking two hours’ sleep, we pushed on to Holt, which we reached about 1 P.M. Here we took coffee, and next proceeded to Breiða-bólstaðr, where, as usual, we were received with great kindness and hospitality. We stopped between the rivers East and West Rángá, where we had to pay for one of the horses we were riding, for Paul had only brought it with him to Reykjavík on sale or return. and we had a good view of Mount Hekla as we forded the West Rángá. Umph! he says, 5,000 square miles of uninhabited country, a howling wilderness, nothing but volcanoes, ice, and snow-a man must be a fool to want to go there no one ever has crossed this cold, desolate region, why, in the name of everything that is worth pounds, shillings, and pence, should any one be mad enough to want to do so now? I fancy I can see some of my worthy countrymen at ten o’clock in the morning, clad in dressing-gown and slippers, breakfast half finished, and a copy of some journal that has condescended to take notice of my little expedition in his hand. Iceland again! Reykjavík again! Here I am upon the same errand as in 18-foolhardiness and folly as it is denounced by some at home. The full book is available on Project Gutenberg. This is from an 1876 book by William Lord Watts, on an expedition (possibly the first) to hike across Vatnajökull.

My anon-voice is representative of the smaller-fish in this fight at the end of the day, you answer to no-one but yourself. I count myself fairly lucky as I was able to withdraw most of my BTC before the pause, and as the cookie's crumbled, it looks like I won't be subjected to retail clawbacks, with a relatively easy way out.īe honest - are others also looking to opt for the convenience class, even if your claim is >$5,000? The overall sentiment expressed from some of the more prominent talking-heads in the space are looking at NovaWulf's plan as either fairly "Meh" to downright opposed to it, but that's pretty much only because they withdrew far more than I did, with claims much higher than mine. This is not even taking into account the fact that now we can/should file claims in Stretto including asserting allegations of fraud and/or negligence and/or misrepresentation ( NFA!), whereby we stand to benefit from any future criminal proceedings against Alex et al. I could better explain the rationale/math behind this, however I'd rather not run the risk of doxing myself. Granted, my crypto assets in Celsius are weighted differently, so dropping down from ~$6K to $5K, then getting 70% back actually drops my BTC claim to 54% total recovery (since BTC only accounts for less than a third of my claim).but I think we can all agree, anything >50% represents a win. IMHO, dropping down to the $5K convenience class and getting 70% of my assets back *in liquid crypto* - and being done with this nightmare - sounds just peachy to me. NGL, the NovaWulf plan (as it is currently) stands to benefit me pretty well I withdrew in the low five-digits in the 90 day prepetition date (so within the $100K withdrawal retail clawback threshold), and - for the life of me, I don't know why I didn't work this out until literally yesterday - my digital asset claim is only just over $6K. I wanted to share my situation to vent/see if others agree/disagree, and generally wanted to see where others stand. The last year or so has been a royal rollercoaster ride, as I'm sure you will all agree. 5/17/2023 0 Comments Astropy vstackJoining Coordinates and Custom Join Functions ¶ Metadata_conflicts option also controls the merging of column attributes.

Although the round-trip exergetic efficiency of sensible TES can attain close to 100%, the storage capital cost of current 2-tank sensible TES is reported as $27/kWh t. DOE SunShot Initiative requirements, the optimal design of a TES for integration into CST power plants should yield round-trip exergetic efficiency ( ξ) greater than 95% and a storage capital cost ( ψ) less than $15/kWh t for a minimum discharge period ( t D) of 6 h. The Solar Advisor Model (SAM) developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Sandia National Laboratories provides the framework to investigate the impact of geographical, geometrical, and operating parameters on the performance of various CST technologies including parabolic trough, molten salt power tower, and dish Stirling power plants.
