7/30/2023 0 Comments Life in middle east gameAD Gaming, for instance, has partnered with Unity Technologies, whose software has been used to create 70% of the top 1,000 mobile games in the world. In the UAE, AD Gaming and the more recently announced DMCC Gaming Center strive to create ecosystems to attract global gaming businesses and provide opportunities to aspiring talent. GCC governments were quick to foresee potential, massively invest, and implement strategies to attract prominent gaming companies.Įarlier this year, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince HRH Mohammed Bin Salman unveiled the National Gaming and Esports Strategy, and the official Saudi Press Agency announced plans to create almost 40,000 jobs and locally develop 30 games. On the positive side, there is no other region in the world where governments are so heavily invested in supporting the industry, especially at such an early stage. That said, owing to visa issues, Ammar was unfortunately not able to participate in the Honor of Kings World Finals, that just began in Seoul, South Korea. "Through a lot of practice, I got the chance to leave my job, and finally work in an industry I love," Ammar says. Gaming gave Ammar, a Syrian refugee in Jordan, "a better world to live in"- he went from being a construction worker to playing professionally with my company, YaLLa Esports.

Vecna was rescued and brought to safety by one of his wizard generals, a cambion named Acererak (who would one day himself become a mighty demilich). The clerics unleashed a great burst of light, which hit Vecna primarily on his left side. Legend has it that Vecna was nearly slain in this battle by clerics channeling the power of Pholtus, the god of light. ![]() Nearly one thousand years after his birth, Vecna, now a lich and ruler of a great and terrible empire (in the Sheldomar Valley, centered near the modern-day Rushmoors), laid siege to the city of Fleeth with an army of arcane spellcasters and undead. However, see minor differences in this lore in The Vecna Dossier below. He was initially trained by his mother, Mazzel, in the art of magic, before she was burnt at the stake by the government of Fleeth for practicing witchcraft According to Uhas of Neheli in the Chronicle of Secret Times, this was due to direct tutelage by Mok'slyk the Serpent, believed to be the personification of arcane magic itself. Vecna was born as a human, centuries ago as a member of the untouchable caste in the Flan city of Fleeth on Oerth. A constant theme in the adventures in which the character appears is Vecna's never-ending quest for power, ending, should he succeed, with Vecna as the only deity in existence. Vecna is usually depicted as a powerful magician resembling a desiccated corpse missing his left hand and eye. Vecna's "right hand man" and then ultimately his betrayer is Kas the Bloody-Handed, a vampire whose sword, the Sword of Kas, is also an artifact. Vecna's holy symbol is an eye in the palm of a left hand. Even after he achieved godhood -being a member of the third edition's of D&D gods (the pantheon of Oerth) -he is still described as missing both his left eye and left hand. He was eventually destroyed, and his left hand and left eye were the only parts of his body to survive. Originally from the World of Greyhawk, Vecna was described as a powerful wizard who became a lich. Vecna, pronounced /VEK-na/, has been named as one of the greatest villains in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game.

She is still very caring and protective towards humans who she sees as members of her family, although this is mainly due to the influence Sakonji Urokodaki had on her while she was asleep for two years. Nezuko seems to have forgotten a good portion of her memories as a human, besides those related to her family, and thus doesn't retain the exact personality she had before transformation, instead acting akin of a child. While Nezuko initially starts off like any other demon, bloodthirsty and hungry for human flesh, after seeing her brother's desire to protect her from being killed by a Demon Slayer despite her being a demon, she changes completely and becomes fiercely protective of him. It is also shown that Nezuko's humane, laid-back demeanor supports this fact after Tanjiro apologized to her. Nezuko is, however, not afraid to get in harm's way, protecting her friends from demons even after being returned to a human state. Additionally, she was a responsible elder sister to her younger siblings and often put their needs first rather than her own. Nezuko's original personality as a human was that of a kind and caring girl who thought of others before herself much like her older brother, Tanjiro. After becoming human again, these features return, with the exception of her hair which seems to retain its flame-orange tips, a feature that would be passed down to her descendant, Toko. She wore the same kimono, just without her haori and with a white Onbuhimo cloth tied around her, which she used to carry her little brother, Rokuta Kamado, on her back. ![]() Instead, Nezuko had fully black hair, worn tied back in three low buns, decorated by pink ribbons, and had eyes of a darker pink color. She has a vein-like pattern around her left eye, but her most striking new feature is the red and green vine-like pattern that covers her skin, circling around her arms, legs, and chest.Īs a human, she had a very similar appearance, the only differences being her lack of demon-like traits, firey-coloured hair, and pale pink eyes. She grows a short white horn on the right side of her forehead designed with an irregular crack pattern, along with vein-like patterns in her forehead near her horn. She loses her bamboo muzzle and footwear, as well as the sleeves of her haori and kimono. When Nezuko transforms into her awakened form during her fight with Daki, she has a bigger, taller and curvaceous body and has longer hair that reaches to her feet. Nezuko also wears a small pink ribbon on the left side of her head to keep her hair out of her face, along with the bamboo muzzle Giyu Tomioka gave her, which is secured around her jaw with a strip of red cloth. ![]() Over this, she sports a long, dark-brown haori that reaches her calves, as well as a pair of zōri with pink straps and white tabi socks, wrapped with thick pieces of black material resembling kyahan. She wears a light pink kimono with an asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern, the lining a paler pink, secured by a red and white-checkered hanhaba obi with an orange-threaded obijime and a green obiage. ![]() According to Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko was known as a great beauty in their home town. In the manga, Nezuko can sometimes be shown with more than one bow. She has soft-looking, pale pink eyes that appear a lighter color around the rims of their irises, slanted downward toward the sides of her face and framed by notably long eyelashes, the pupils of which can appear slit as she transforms. It reaches just below her waist, turning a flame-orange color as it passes her elbows, and appears to be crimped into large, straight ridges, worn side-swept drastically to her left. Nezuko is a petite young girl with fair skin, visibly large, prominent fangs, and sharp, stiletto nails with a base color of light pink and ombre fading to a red-pinkish color at the end where they point. 7/30/2023 0 Comments Cardio endurance meaning![]() Cardio improves many aspects of health, including heart health, mental health, mood, sleep, weight regulation and metabolism.Īctually, the heart becomes more efficient with every beat as it pumps oxygen-carrying blood, the lungs more effective in taking in oxygen, and the muscles more equipped to use more oxygen. Such activity progressively challenges your most vital internal body organs and improves the function and performance of the heart, lungs and circulatory system. Hence, you feel more energized and do not get tired quickly.Ĭardiovascular exercise is any vigorous activity that increases heart rate and respiration and raises oxygen and blood flow throughout the body while using large muscle groups of the body repetitively and rhythmically. Your heart rate increases and you breathe more deeply to maximize the amount of oxygen in your blood and help you to use more oxygen efficiently. That is, during the activity, oxygen is heavily involved in the cellular reactions that produce the energy necessary to sustain the activity. What is cardiovascular exercise?Īlso called aerobic or endurance exercise, cardiovascular exercise is any form of activity that uses aerobic metabolism. And such a form of activity is called cardiovascular exercise-or cardio in short. In turn, the need for more oxygen leads to increased breathing and heart rate. When these major muscles are involved in exercise, there is increased rate of respiration to produce energy. ![]() ![]() Well, that’s probably because you’ve been moving the large muscles in your legs, arms and hips over a sustained period of time. 7/30/2023 0 Comments Pirate telescope blurryI was recently there and I can confirm that it is the least light polluted site I've ever seen." He adds, "We must try to decrease the light pollution levels at other sites in order to protect the future of ground-based astronomy. Fabio Falchi says "the least contaminated of all the sites in the study is a lodge in Namibia that hosts several telescopes that are rented to amateurs for visual, photography and research uses. The new study shows that light pollution at two thirds of the ground based observatories in the study has now crossed this higher threshold. ![]() A more relaxed 10% limit was set by the International Astronomical Union in the 1970s as the maximum allowable artificial brightness for major observatories. Only one observatory of the 28 major sites has light pollution in that direction below the 1% level. The lowest pointing direction of ground-based telescopes is around 30° above the horizon. This leaves the remaining 21 other major sites-three quarters of all the major observatories-all above this level. The study results show that only 7 of the 28 major astronomical observatory sites (sites that host a telescope with a diameter of 3 meters or more) have a zenith sky brightness with light pollution below the expected threshold of 1% of natural sky brightness, and so could be considered almost uncontaminated in that direction. ![]() The key measure is the comparison with the natural sky brightness caused by airglow in the high atmosphere, and light originating from stars and the Milky Way.

These indicators, along with the overhead brightness, help to decipher how artificial light affects the night sky. To avoid poor focus, ensure the telescope is properly aligned, and the focuser is adjusted correctly. Our observations show that poor focus is the most common cause of blurry images in telescopes. Only one observatory of the 28 major sites has light pollution in that direction below the 1 level. The additional indicators are the average brightness at a 30° altitude above the horizon, the average brightness in the first 10° above the horizon, the overall average brightness across the sky, and the illuminance of the ground given by the artificial light coming from the night sky. These are the various causes of blurry telescopic images. The lowest pointing direction of ground-based telescopes is around 30° above the horizon. The zenith is generally the less polluted, therefore darker, zone of the night sky, and is one of the indicators used to classify the sites in the study. I re-adjust focus each time I change eye pieces, but the best I can get at the stronger magnifications is still very blurry compared to 20mm. But when I go to 10mm or 6mm, it gets bigger and blurrier. Using Saturn as a reference, with a 20mm eye piece it is very sharp. at the zenith), reveals that the night sky at major observatory sites is more polluted than one may assume. 7 I've been having trouble getting really sharp focus on my telescope.

That said a dome camera is small and unobtrusive, they are also from unique, however, pretty all of them are about a projectile cries So, your preference may rely on whether you’d like To use your cameras or not. The outdoors model has the best intruder heating (IK-10) and weather resistant (IP 68) score, meaning it can withstand a pounding AND be buried in water up to two metres.īullet cameras may be modified to aim at a particular desired spot, such as globe cameras, although they typically have a greater range and zoom capability than other dome cameras. Also it includes a P-Iris Lens that maintains a large field range that enables the emphasis to be on the background, backdrop and everyone in between. The lens of this camera can be tried to point manual process in the right direction, and has real day / night capacities, with infra-red that starts kicking in in low-light situations. No lens is supplied, so you’ll need to buy a C / CS cap lens individually.ĮHN Dome Cameras (Outdoor) & EDN (Indoor): When you really need a limited, unique area that you also might want to zoom closely on, a box camera is ideal since its focus is set in a single direction. The greater resolution of IP cameras outcomes in the much bigger visual field when contrasted to analogue cameras. IP cameras today have a much better resolution than CCTV cameras. Using a PoE switch or fuel pump, an IP camera could be operated and transmitted video over even a wired network, thus reducing the coaxial cable expense relative to CCTV.Īnother IP camera advantage would be that the features of IP much outweigh that of an analogue device. CCTV utilises coax and a cable connection whereas an IP camera completely clear infrastructure (Cat 5e or Cat 6) power cables. One of the reasons helping reduce the expense of an IP device is the expense for wiring. In fact, many studies revealed that the maximum cost of ownership of a CCTV system is currently higher compared to the lifetime of the facility. Even so, that is quickly evolving as IP cameras and disk drives have shown a dramatic decline in retail prices. CCTV services, in the past, have had a lower starting price point as opposed to IP systems. When contrasting CCTV vs IP camera systems, all have advantages and drawbacks. A quick internet scan, if you are involved, will recommend the best IP security camera device. CCTV is not optimal, that is why the CCTV camera is on the downward trend for smart homes. This allows them the strongest cameras with wireless surveillance. ![]() People will then view this video via phone that is linked to this service, or a tablet or laptop.

In much the same manner as any other normal network computer, including a notebook, tablet or printer, the IP camera attaches to a network. It is a self-contained component with its own IP address that necessitates nothing but a network connexion in order to send pictures, apart from a normal webcam. An Internet Protocol Camera is a wireless video camera, generally referred to as an IP camera, just like a webcam that receives the signal information over a public or the internet. 7/30/2023 0 Comments Does adobe premiere cost money![]() If you're just learning and not making money then the free/cheap options are there you are just going to pay in time and quality. ![]() If time and consistent quality is your priority than you're going to have to pay the big bucks. ![]() No hardware acceleration but zero dollars.

While the documentary doesn’t break much new ground, Kijak generally finds the right balance between the salacious elements and Hollywood nostalgia that remain inextricably intertwined in Hudson’s story. The film culminates with what Hudson’s death meant to AIDS activism, with Elizabeth Taylor picking up the cause even as the Reagan administration stayed largely silent despite Hudson’s friendship with Nancy Reagan. “All That Heaven Allowed” (a title that plays off one of the then-groundbreaking Douglas Sirk films in which Hudson appeared) also makes time to celebrate Hudson’s talent and the limitations that his audience imposed upon him, from the promise of the epic “Giant” to undemanding comedies like “Pillow Talk,” one of three movies he made opposite Doris Day.Īs movie roles shriveled, Hudson found a last act in television, in the series “McMillan & Wife” and a final arc on “Dynasty,” where, it’s noted, he hid his diagnosis, later creating considerable angst over an on-screen kiss he had shared with co-star Linda Evans.ĭirector Stephen Kijak (who has primarily worked on documentaries about the music industry) draws upon interviews with Hudson as well as those close to him, including “Tales of the City” author Armistead Maupin. (Some of this material was dealt with in the Netflix miniseries “Hollywood,” producer Ryan Murphy’s blend of fact and fiction.) That included marrying the secretary of his agent, Henry Willson, who actually fed the tabloids stories about other clients, such as Tab Hunter, in order to chase them away from Hudson, a more valuable asset to him. Inevitably, much of the documentary focuses on the world Hudson kept secret from his adoring fans, and the compromises and sacrifices made to protect his image. By the end, he bore little resemblance to the dashing star who had audiences swooning during his heyday. Hudson’s health had been an issue before then, a byproduct of chain smoking and heart-bypass surgery in 1981. At the same time, nagging tabloid rumors persisted until his death in 1985, at the age of 59, only a few months after revealing he had AIDS. Yet the HBO documentary ultimately provides a sobering window into that time, zooming in on Hudson’s screen roles to coyly illustrate what he was experiencing off it.Īlthough Hudson knew that being outed as a gay man would effectively bring his stardom to a screeching halt, friends and associates describe him as freely living his life (he’s referred to as a “sexual gladiator”), and all that went with it. At first blush, “Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed” seems determined to find every movie phrase uttered by the actor – famously closeted throughout his career as a leading man – that could be construed to have a double meaning hinting at who he really was. |
