to serve fugu there are a dozen or so other restaurants in the city that serve it now. Would you try fugu yourself? Have you tried it - and if so, what did you think? Was it worth it? (Note: Nippon Restaurant in New York was the first restaurant in the U.S. So.what do you think about Japanese people (and others) who eat a highly poisonous food willingly? Does it say anything to you about Japanese culture or society? Fugu: Would you? Have you? What do you think of people who do? I've had fugu sashi, and while fresh fugu is indeed delicious, I am not sure if the risk of a very uncomfortable death, or an even more uncomfortable recovery time in the hospital, is worth it. (This was in fact how a famous kabuki theater actor died of fugu poisoning, many years ago - he put a bit of the poisonous live on his fugu pieces.) In case you are wondering just how you die, it's not a very nice way to go. I wonder if they liked to stick their tongues on batteries when they were kids. A few die-hards even like to put a tiny bit of the poison on their fugu, for that numbing/tingling sensation on the lips. Non-lethal fugu may be on its way to our tables, but fugu fans often cite the thrill of possible poisoning/death as part of the appeal of fugu. ( Link to news story in Japanese - this hasn't made the news in any English online media outlets as far as I can find out.) Recently there was a case in Toyama prefecture, where nine people who partook of fugu at a sushi restaurant were taken ill of the 2 people who lost consciousness, one is still in a coma. Despite all regulatory precautions, every year there are reports of people getting sick or even dying from fugu poisoning. If an unskilled or careless person accidentally pierces the organs or otherwise contaminates the edible flesh of the fish, then the diner may find that meal to be his last. In order to serve fugu, a chef has to go through a strict certification process. It's now fugu season in fact, so many people are tucking in to fugu sashi (fugu sashimi), fugu nabe (fugu hotpot), and so on. Nevertheless, it's considered to be a great delicacy in Japan. Fugu's main claim to fame, besides its extraordinary appearance (it puffs itself up to make itself look a lot bigger to predators), is that its skin and organs are highly poisonous. One of them is the infamous fugu, or puffer fish. (Note: Your responses to the question posed below may be translated for a Japanese blog! Read on.)Įven though I'm Japanese, I do think that we eat an awful lot of food that could be considered to be odd.

More recently, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been involved in the development of the Rustom, which seeks to replace the Heron, and is designed for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), communications relay and possibly even munitions delivery. India has been slow to develop and use combat drones for its own military, and seems content to use import vehicles, like the Israeli Harpy, Heron and Searcher II platforms. These include various UAVs including the easily recognisable MQ-1, Predator, which was originally designed for surveillance but was later outfitted with Hellfire missiles for offensive capabilities, and it’s more “souped-up” version, the MQ-9 Reaper, and more surveillance oriented drones like RQ-4 Global Hawk. Today, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are the most commonly recognised part of the drone arsenal of any country, especially the United States. Other factors like the use of targeted killings to attack terrorists that hide among civilian populations, and the decreasing political tolerance for military casualties have also spurred the growth of drone use. Political and cultural factors also led to drones becoming increasingly common, especially considering the requirements of fighting terrorists instead of the conventional enemies of the World Wars, including the absence of a confined battle-space, which then requires round-the-clock global surveillance that can be more efficiently done by drones than with human pilots. Post the 9-11 terror attack and the Global War on Terror, the US military vastly expanded the use of military drones, especially as by 2011 the widespread use of these weapons became feasible and attractive. A great symbolic leap forward came during the Gulf War, where the US military had deployed the Pioneer drone for surveillance and battlefield damage assessments, and it would become the recipient of the first ever surrender of human soldiers to an unmanned system when Iraqi soldiers surrendered to it. Further development of drone technologies would continue throughout the Vietnam War and Cold War but the rise of computer technology moved resources away from robotics and slowed down the development of automated warfare technologies. All of these can be considered fairly primitive technologies by today’s standards, as they all required constant interaction with a human operator and had little to no autonomy. The Germans also used the remote controlled weapons in World War II, like the “Goliath”, a remote controlled tracked vehicle that carried high explosives that could be driven into enemy positions, and the “Fritz”, a drone-like bomb with wings that a “pilot” could guide into a specific target using a remote control. During World War II, American fighter pilots famously used remote controlled planes like the “Dennymite” for target practice. It is the intention of this paper to examine a brief history of automation of weapons in the last few decades, how it is different from the concept of an “autonomous weapon”, the regulations that these new weapons will have to subscribe to, the challenges in the existing regulatory framework as well as in bringing about international consensus in bringing about newer, more targeted regulations for these new class of weapons.Īutomated systems have been used in warfare at least since the beginning of the twentieth century. These have been given many different names, some with slightly different meanings but all of which encapsulate the same basic intention, and these include Autonomous Weapons Systems (AWS), Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS), Fully Autonomous Weapons (FAW), or the more dramatic “Killer Robots”. The conduct of modern warfare is hence constrained by various conditions, and it is in this scenario that a new class of weapons have been introduced. Wars are arguably the worst part of the human condition and hence has been made subject to various rules and regulations by the international community, that also include the regulation of the types of weapons that can be used. Yet it is not the weapons, but the men who handle them, who win victories.” While this was said in the context of the first few months of what would eventually become the long and gruelling First World War, the sentiment behind it remains just as true today. Despite the asset repetition, it’s these backdrops that flesh out the slightly-dilapidated, Vernian (that’s a word now) style the game tries to create. You’ll quickly learn the one lootable barrel, the big golden chest that holds a ship’s loot, and so on. There’s a lot of asset reuse here, with only a handful of props and character models. The majority of gameplay takes place in the 3D realm, but as you check your vessel, or dock with something else, it cuts the side away to reveal a 2D view. The theme does break a bit as the ships get bigger and more heavily armed, taking on a more directly-steampunk aesthetic. Vessels have a Jules Verne-inspired, pseudo-organic style, taking after various fish. The physics of the engine may not be good enough to make them sway in the current, but even the largest of structures are tenuous things, often covered in a patchwork of materials. Rusting hulks litter the ocean floor, from the size of your tiny starting vessel to massive tankers cities and dwellings are literally bolted with massive cables to rocks and ice. Humanity ha s been trapped underground a long time, and it shows. By the end, rest assured, you’ll have your questions answered.Īt its core, Diluvion is a game of exploration, and it continually nails the sense of wonder, trepidation, and dread that follows in the wake of that. The story is vague at first, only picking up once you hit the game’s second map, and serves as a not-so-subtle guide to your explorations, the game’s main focus. Naturally, as a race, we’ve gone and mucked it all up, and it falls to you, -PLAYER-, to gather your ragtag crew (Tired Veteran, Explosion-Obsessed Girl, and more!), and reach the end of the apparently not-so-Endless-Corridor, hopefully saving the squabbling humanity in the process. Legend has it that this was done by the gods themselves for Man’s hubris, but the god Sul, in its mercy, placed an item at the bottom of the Endless Corridor… and that item would be the salvation of humanity. Thrust from their land of plenty, humanity has been trapped deep underground – and underwater – for what appears to be hundreds of years. Newcomer Arachnid Games tries takes a stab at it with Diluvion. Given our fascination with exploration and alien landscapes, it always baffles me why so few games take place under the sea. Publisher: Gambitious Digitial Entertainment The damn crab lied, it wasn’t better under the sea at all. I slam “ascend” and hope I make it back to base. My ship shakes as cannon fire upon it, my HUD flaring the angry red of an imminent torpedo barreling down on me. My sonar pings off of an even bigger wreck, a tiny glow on its deck. My searchlights barely cut through the murk, and the shadows of ancient hulks say I have no place down here. It’s amazing how bright the ocean can be, and yet still be so accursedly dark.

These images appear throughout the film, but the two main places are in The Pier in Liverpool where Ringo introduces Young Fred to the rest of The Beatles, and in the foothills of the headlands sequence (which includes the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) which connects Nowhereland with The Sea of Holes (or the Holey Sea, which will be amusing to Catholics). Not only has Yellow Submarine embraced the concepts of intertextuality by borrowing from many different styles of music and art, and “thieving” imagery easily recognisable by its audiences. Yellow Submarine became a vehicle not only for the Beatles’ music (the Beatles themselves had little to do with the movie outside of the music contribution, not even voicing the characters), but also bridged the gap between the different worlds of music, art, and film. The animation of Yellow Submarine, all hand-drawn and overseen by Tom Halley from the designs of the graphic artist Heinz Edelmann, has been described as psychedelic pop and op-art, fusing the styles of Peter Max, Magritte, Escher, Warhol, Vasarely, and more. As Roger Ebert states “the animation isn’t full motion and usually remains within one plane, but there’s nothing stiff or limited about it it has a freedom of color and invention.” Though it lacks the depth of popular Disney animation, that lack of depth isn’t a flaw, and neither is the variety. Yellow Submarine is a stunning fusion of multiple animation styles, and it is that variety which is one of its greatest breaks with tradition the fusion of multiple styles where previously animators had used only one style throughout a piece. We now have films such as The Who’s i]Tommy and Quadrophenia, and Pink Floyd’s The Wall, but it was The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine that really broke the mould of earlier musical and film traditions, and started us down the road to bringing artists’ albums to the big screen. Undeniably, most such films were thinly veiled attempts to showcase an artist’s music or their singing ability Elvis being the most overt, using his own songs as movie titles and bases for themes. Until the 1970s, musical films had been mainly Broadway adaptations, yet a transition occurred when popular singers began to appear in films from Vera Lynn in the 1940s, Elvis in the 1950s, and many others between and since. What has not been common is the translation of music albums to film. Since its earliest days the film industry has translated works of literature, fictional and not, to film everything from fantasies to biographies have been tackled in a variety of ways. Both Areas are huge spaces with a ton of variety in encounters, and even seem to run at a smoother frame rate. Pokemon Sword/Shield were divisive and felt incomplete at release, but these DLCs are a major step in the right direction, better delivering on the promise of the base game’s wild area. Pokémon Sword DLC: The Isle of Armor & The Crown Tundra (Switch, 2020) Trust me, suck it up and make multiple trips.Ĩ. That being said it’s absolute bullshit you can’t save in the final dungeon. The polygonal graphics are pretty iffy, but the music’s great, and the job system, while basic, is a joy to experiment with. Anyway, this was the next step in my journey through the Final Fantasy series, and despite its somewhat mixed reputation, I had a good time with this remake. I think the pixel remasters were announced shortly after I beat this, you’re welcome. Great game, and shout out to the Anbernic RG351V for being a rad little emulation machine that I played this and lots of other retro games on this year. The big additions are the Team Rocket expansion, along with a bunch of promo, vending, and even game-exclusive cards. It follows the same basic structure as the original, but with much more content, and of course more cards. For some reason this was never released outside of Japan (despite being a late GBC release, there were still several first party games released afterwards) but thankfully there’s an excellent fan translation. Well, I got bit by the Pokemon card collecting bug real hard this year so checking this out seemed like the logical next step. Pokémon Card GB2: Great Rocket-Dan Sanjō! (Game Boy Color, 2001) This year was especially heavy on the retro games, games by Nintendo and Square Enix, and of course, Pokemon.ġ0. I was gonna write something here about the state of the world, but gently caress that- this is a place of celebration. Values are:Ħ: Semiannually (same date at six month intervals). When maintenance is completed, the system automatically schedules the next maintenance according to the value that you enter in this field. Indicate the frequency at which the system schedules maintenance when used in conjunction with Schedule Date. Subsequent schedule dates for maintenance are calculated based on the last completed date in conjunction with either the service days interval or frequency indicator. If you enter both a schedule date and service days, the system schedules the maintenance to come due based on the schedule date that you indicate. You can enter a service interval based on the schedule date and service days. This is the future date on which the scheduled maintenance is due. Schedule DateĮnter the date that you want to receive a reminder message about an asset. The system calculates subsequent schedule dates for maintenance based on the last completed date in conjunction with the service days interval.

Examples include replacing tires based on their tread depth or replacing an electric motor that is overheating. This type of preventive maintenance schedule uses an alert level, indicated by the condition of the equipment, to determine when maintenance should be performed. Examples include replacing a windshield or washing a vehicle.Ģ: Condition-Based Schedule. You use the Work With Unscheduled Maintenance program (P13UM) to specify when the scheduled maintenance should be performed. This type of preventive maintenance schedule entails maintenance that is performed on an ad hoc basis.

The demo of screenrecycler only connects for 20 min at a time so you'll have to restart it if you dont want to buy it.The schedule intervals that are associated with the six meter readings will be disabled if the Allow Meter Schedules option is not selected on the equipment master record. I'm using an eeepc hackintosh on OSX 10.6 and an archos 70IT on 2.2.1 so if anyone wants to try it on the 43 or 101 it should just be different resolutions. The screen does seem to go off rather quick if the cursor isnt on the tablet, i use a switchpro widget to keep the display on, otherwise its in the display settings (on the android) Like any VNC this will depend on the speed of your network, you probably cant want a movie on the secondary. Once it connects you'll want to open your macs display settings and make the secondary display 800X480 (for archos 70) in the androidVNC settting i set scaling to fit to screen, but its up to you if you want to pan. Now, besides your numbers you'll want to set color format to 24-bit color (4bpp) and i checked force full screen bitmap. This is where the android app gets special, i tried Wyse PocketCloud and MochaVNC lite and neither would work. On androidVNC enter the IP and port screenrecycler give you. Install screenrecycler and the driver as it says and restart. Figured this out after seeing it done on ipod touch.

Also, with the jump from 32 to 64 bits, a security feature called Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) works better to protect you from attackers. Here’s the key thing to know: 64-bit applications can access more memory and are less likely to crash than 32-bit applications. What’s the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit? How much less? In our tests so far, 64-bit Firefox reduced crashes by 39% on machines with 4GB of RAM or more. That means you get a more secure version of Firefox, one that also crashes a whole lot less. Users on 64-bit Windows who download Firefox can get our 64-bit version by default. If you want to see the image, you usually need to have the software that created it available. The DST contains all of the stitch and thread color data that the machine needs to embroider the picture. If you want a particular image embroidered on a T-shirt, the image must first be converted to a DST. A DST file extension is an image created by software that digitizes JPGs, GIFs or TIFs to a format readable by embroidery machines.

You should keep in mind that you cannot mix these file formats, even if they have the same extension. Also a file with the DST extension could be an AutoCAD blueprint set file to contain multiple drawing designs. These files are what you create when you save the game state. There are other DST files, these are the saved status files of some Nintendo DS emulators. Ask them to convert the DST file into a JPG and send it to you. Surely they have software that can open a DST file. Get in touch with a company specialized in embroidery. Ask the person or company to send you the source file so you can see what the image looks like. Said file is normally created from a source file such as a JPG or GIF. In order to open the file on your computer, you must have the software that can read it installed.Ĭontact the person or company that sent you the DST file. Anyway, below we have a step by step to open DST files:ĭouble click on the DST file. There may be an Export or Save as Option that serves as a DST converter. If you do not have the original software that was used to create your specific DST file, at least try using the programs mentioned above that can open files in the Tajima embroidery format. Each command in the body of the file is 3 bytes long, while other embroidery formats use only 2 bytes of data.Īfter installing one of the applications from the list you just found here, you should be able, without problems, to open or edit a file with a DST extension. Now let's see that the maximum header length is 512 bytes, however, the most used value is 125 bytes. It also contains a range of organized data extracted from several files.Įach DST file contains, like any other type of file, a header and a body. This type of file contains all the stitch color data and the thread that the machine needs to embroider the image. To work with an image for embroidery, it must first be converted into a DST file. The DST file also contains metadata tags. The DST file contains instructions for the embroidery machine, either clipping, stopping the activity and jumping. Any file that carries the DST extension is an image created by software that modifies common image files such as JPG, GIF or TIF for a readable format for embroidery machines.

So stay inspired by staying mindful of the decluttering objective: to be happy at home! In short, if you want positive change to your wellbeing, it pays to address your environment. Home should be a place that restores, rejuvenates and replenishes, but so often it is not because of clutter. Look around youĪnd finally, I believe that our homes have the power to physically affect both our health and wellbeing. Be honest with yourself, how long has that vase/chair/old toy been in the basement/garage? Quite. Unless broken items can be fixed instantly with a tube of super glue, or you are about to retire, get rid. Ancient packet of teff flour? Perhaps time to let it go. And at least twice a year pull everything out to check use-by dates and do a swift inventory. Store like with like to avoid an unnecessary stockpile of dried apricots. When the mood to declutter strikes, contain yourself to one thing to purge, such as newspapers and magazines or your wardrobe, rather than randomly attacking the house, or even a room, as a whole. This is a particularly good sale rule for clothes, as it’s remarkable how many bobble hats, pairs of black tights, navy jumpers you’ll find you already own if you diligently group them together. Plus it'll stop you succumbing to ‘special offers’ that aren’t remotely advantageous if you don’t need said item. It means you’ll always know exactly how many batteries, bulbs and bin bags to stamps and sweaters, post-it notes to pots you have, therefore you'll never buy more than you need in the first place! It also means that you can easily find anything and everything when you’re in a hurry as there’s nothing more annoying than shelling out for something only to discover you had plenty already. My number one absolute rule is actually a reverse decluttering tip, it is simply, always store like with like. Here, Michelle Ogundehin, interior expert and self-confessed decluttering fiend, shares her 10 top tips for refreshing your home in an instant. Life is chaotic enough without visual clutter and more things getting in the way.From broken items you promise you'll fix one day to mementoes from that special holiday, it can be easy to let things pile up in your home without even realising.Įvery so often, it's important to give your homes a good clean and, in the process, get rid of things that are taking up valuable space. Since we are now a family of 4 (and my elderly parents also live with us) it’s more important than ever for me to live as simply and as minimally as possible. Despite that moving into a tiny home itself isn’t viable at this time, I figured I can still downsize as if that were the case. Before reselling the old tech, Decluttr thoroughly. You can sell your old tech to Declutter and get paid. Decluttr purchases old smartphones, tablets and computers from everyday people, whether theyre cleaning house or want to upgrade to the latest and greatest. I’m quite obsessed with the idea (even though it isn’t possible at this point in my life). They also sell old CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray Discs, and video games at bargain prices. The way I’m downsizing is as if I was going to move into a tiny home. But in the end, nothing lasts infinitely.Įverytime I look at this collection, I am grateful for all the joy they’ve bought me, but I value space much more. Digital data can last longer than discs, sure. Now, the only issue I’m grappling with in my mind is that most of these aren’t available to buy digitally, should I ever lose my data.īut nothing is forever. I got rid of almost all of my DVD’s and music CD’s…apart from my beloved videogame and TV soundtracks.Īdmittedly, I don’t own a CD drive to even play these anymore (unless you count my game consoles and my son’s PC which still has a disc drive).īut really, with Youtube and Spotify, and the ability to rip music from old CD’s at a high quality, there’s no way I would listen to the physical media anymore.Īs much as I love my soundtracks, I plan to buy a 1tb USB flashdrive, rip the music and do away with the physical media itself. We live in an age where just about everything is digital. |
