![]() ![]() The player may also find benign SCPs which can benefit them, in ways such as giving the player items or accelerating progression throughout the game. ![]() These include tools such as gas masks, various electronic devices, and keycards allowing progression, but there are also items which hinder the player. The player must then find an exit gate in order to reach the end.Īlong the way, the player can find a wide variety of items to assist them in survival. The "Entrance Zone" area also marks the appearance of a Foundation task force (Epsilon-11 Nine-Tailed Fox), a squad of three soldiers which attempt to recapture SCPs and will shoot the player on sight. As the player progresses through the facility, the number of threats present to them increases, including new SCPs which begin to hunt the player. By design, the layout of the facility in every playthrough will be different, though every playthrough will contain the same key areas and rooms no matter the layout. This feature is controlled by a system called seed generation, which is a string of text that controls how a map generates. One of the game's primary features is procedural generation of the facility. The player can save and load games depending on difficulty, with the game's medium difficulty only allowing saving at predetermined points and the game's hardest difficulty not allowing saving at all. This mechanic is directly tied to SCP-173, who operates based on whether or not the player can see them. Throughout the entirety of the playthrough, the blink meter will gradually decrease and eventually force the player to blink, though the player can also blink on command. One of the characteristics of gameplay is the blink meter. The game plays from a first-person perspective with the player directly in control of D-9341, able to walk and sprint in any direction. ![]() During gameplay, the player roams the facility collecting items necessary to progress while being pursued by multiple SCPs and armed enemies, which must be avoided in order to continue playing. The player controls a prisoner named D-9341 as they attempt to escape an underground research and containment facility amidst a breach of its numerous anomalies, known as SCPs. The game was released digitally on April 15, 2012, for download and was supported with digital content updates until its most recent update 1.3.11 on July 29, 2018. The game has a procedurally generated environment featuring multiple anomalies from the SCP Wiki. The goal of the game is to escape from the facility as the role of said test subject during a breach of these anomalies while also avoiding security teams that are sent in to contain them. The player takes the role of a human test subject, imprisoned in an underground testing facility devoted to containing and studying anomalous entities and artifacts known as SCPs. SCP – Containment Breach is an indie horror video game developed by Joonas "Regalis" Rikkonen based on fictional stories from the SCP Foundation collaborative writing wiki. ![]()

12/9/2023 0 Comments Aftermath book![]() The chapter on Kuwait has a lot of information about the state of mine warfare in the world at the time, though the focus is on the mines laid during the Gulf War. It is very hard to comprehend and picture mentally, this book helps give you an idea of that scale. ![]() The number of artillery shells fired in WWI, the number of soldiers that died in WWII, and the number of bombs dropped by the US on Vietnam is staggering. The chapters on France, Russian, and Vietnam helps give the reader an idea of the scale of those conflicts. It addresses unexploded WWI ordnance in France, the untouched skeletons of WWII German soldiers still laying outside of Stalingrad, unexploded ordnance and the effect of "The American War" in Vietnam, mine clearing in Kuwait following the Gulf War, and finally ends with an epilogue covering the disposal of chemical weapons and the effects of nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. This book was highly informative and engaging. ![]() ![]() I read this book as supplementary material to Dan Carlin's excellent Hardcore History Podcast, specifically his series "Blueprints for Armageddon" and "Ghosts of the OstFront", in which he references and recommends this book. In riveting and revelatory detail, Aftermath documents the ways in which wars have transformed the terrain of the battlefield into landscapes of memory and enduring in France, where millions of acres of farmland are cordoned off to all but a corps of demolition experts responsible for the undetonated bombs and mines of World War I that are now rising up in fields, gardens, and backyards in a sixty-square-mile area outside Stalingrad that was a cauldron of destruction in 1941 and is today an endless field of bones in the Nevada deserts, where America waged a hidden nuclear war against itself in the 1950's, the results of which are only now becoming apparent in Vietnam, where a nation's effort to remove the physical detritus of war has created psychological and genetic devastation in Kuwait, where terrifyingly sophisticated warfare was followed by the Sisyphean task of making an uninhabitable desert capable of sustaining life.Īftermath excavates our century's darkest history, revealing that the destruction of the past remains deeply, inextricably embedded in the present. ![]() 12/9/2023 0 Comments Final cut pro price![]() ![]() You’re able to edit your clip, color your clip, edit your sound, and view your clip information from here.įinally, at the bottom of the screen is the magnetic timeline.

Speaking of iMovie, this video editing program is incredibly easy to use. ![]() In practice though, the magnetic timeline can actually save quite a bit of time once it’s mastered. This was a feature introduced in Final Cut Pro X (back in 2011) and an incredibly divisive one at that.Ī lot of professional video editors couldn’t stand the magnetic timeline when it was first introduced, claiming that FCPX looked and felt too much like iMovie. There’s one thing, in particular, that may seem off-putting to some people.įinal Cut Pro uses a magnetic timeline, meaning that the timeline “magnetically” adjusts depending on where you move your clips. Final Cut Pro has a “user experience first” sort of design philosophy, offering an incredibly intuitive and clean-looking workspace. The interface of Final Cut is much different than what you’ll find on similar NLEs. This piece of video editing app is downloaded automatically on devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac. IMovie is great because it comes totally free with all Apple devices. All updates after buying this software are entirely free as well.

12/9/2023 0 Comments Vector raster bitmap![]() Like most things in life, it is about using the right tool for right job. So if you scale up a vector graphic it will always appear the same as it is effectively resolution-independent. Vectors on the other hand are effectively lossless and can be scaled infinitely without any loss of resolution, since scaling them is merely a matter of scaling the mathematical formulae that express that image. ![]() No additional detail can be obtained from the image since the amount was “fixed” at 400 x 400 pixels when scanned. What will happen is that you reduce the quality of the image because you are now spreading 400 pixels into 800 (2 pixels to every 1), and since each pixel can only contain one single colour, the software has to approximate the colours of the new pixels by averaging it with the colour of each pixel either side. Then you realise that you actually need it to be 800 x 800, and so decide to scale it up in Photoshop or another image editing program. To use vector and raster images properly you need to understand how resolution can affect what you end up with.įor example, let’s say you scan or import an image (raster) that is 400 x 400 pixels wide. This is why input and output resolution is vitally important with raster images in a way that they are not with vectors. If you scale up the scanned image you will gradually see those pixels become more and more apparent, since the number of pixels is set at the moment you scan the image and defined by the image size and DPI (dots per inch) if you are looking to print it afterwards. Scanned photographs are a good example of raster images, as the computer has to break the real photo down into individual pixels of separate colours. ![]() Moho Pro animation software is a vector-based animation software, although it can also handle bitmaps Many animation programs now have the ability to work in vectors. They are also used heavily in 2d animation as a particular style that was initially popularised by Flash but has now become ubiquitous. Vector graphics are excellent for the web, architectural design or anything that requires precision of line like technical drawings that can be easily transferred to a machine for moulds or 3d printing etc.īecause they are a mathematical expression it is very easy to use them in manufacturing. The pixels are called “bits”, so it is basically a map of the bits in a raster image. Pixels become more obviousīitmaps are simply another name for raster images. ![]() Raster image on left, and scaled up on right.

The sections between numbers are divided into 5-minute segments (total of 60 minutes). The numbers marking each sections are the hours. On top of the clock, you will see a "12." To the right of the "12," you will see a "1." If you follow the numbers, going right or "clockwise," they will move from "1" to "12." If there is a third thinnest hand, it indicates the seconds of the current minute and it's in continuous motion.ġ- A clock is divided into 12 sections. The short hand tells you the hour, the long hand tells you the minute of the current hour. To tell time on an analog clock, you look at where the hands are pointing. This continuous motion eliminates the ticking sound traditional clock motors make.Īll our clocks uses Sweep Quartz movement which makes our clocks fully silent, sleep-friendly as well as affordable, accurate, durable and easy to use (The best of both worlds).Īn analog clock is a timekeeping device with numbers around the edge with hands that rotate around to indicate the time. Sweep movement - the movement moves the second hand in a smooth, continuous motion. Step movement – the movement causes the second hand to move in individual ticks. ![]() So, although traditionally Quartz movement (the movement causes the second hand to move in individual ticks and it's powered by a battery) had always a step movement (ticking noise), today Quartz mechanism can be silent. The result is a series of finely crafted masterpieces that combine Quartz technology with the smooth passage of time - denoted by a sweeping second hand. Especially engineers at Seiko where it introduced the first Quartz watch in late 60s. However, this challenge, did intrigue many watch makers in 70s. It would seem unnatural for a Quartz watch to have a sweeping hand. Sweeping second hand movements are mesmerizing to look at and have always been associated with mechanical watches. History and evolution of time keeping technology is fascinating. WHY OUR ALARM CLOCKS (being Quartz movement) ARE FULLY SILENT? This is mostly because majority of the functions are still available in this mode as well. What about if my smartphone is in Airplane mode? Unfortunately, your cell phone still emits radiation even in the flight mode. In fact, the cell phone radiation effects on health are worse than that from tobacco. Other effects are tiredness and fatigue, lack of concentration, headaches, restlessness and anxiety and depression. This study Trusted Source found a link between EMF exposure and changes in human nerve function throughout the body, affecting things like sleep and mood. Should we be concerned?Īccording to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), EMFs are “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” The IARC believes that some studies show a possible link between EMFs and cancer in people.Ī review of more than two dozen studies on low-frequency EMFs suggests these energy fields may cause various neurological and psychiatric problems in people. It turns out that our cellphones, Wi-Fi routers, computers, and other digital appliances send out a stream of invisible energy waves that some experts are concerned about. But few of us are aware of the possible health risks presented by the gadgets that make our world work. Most of us are used to the conveniences of modern life. Durability: A quartz timepiece has fewer moving parts that may require repairing, making it more durable than a mechanical watch. Affordability: Mechanical and automatic watches require more watchmaking hours and skill and cost goes often above $500. ![]() Low Maintenance: The low number of moving parts and the presence of a battery ensure that quartz watches are lower maintenance. Ease Of Use: Quartz watches are battery-powered and do not require human intervention to keep ticking. Accurate Time: A quartz mechanism barely veers from the exact time, ensuring superior accuracy. Thanks to the quartz movement, our clocks are highly accurate at keeping time, too. Our alarm-clock are all digital-free, analog, silent (no disturbing ticking sounds) and have a Sweep quartz movement. Automatic – kinetic energy from the wearer's wrist is transferred automatically to drive the mechanism inside the watch. The watch requires manual winding to operate.ģ.
