No anger towards the bad guys and no empathy towards the good guys.ĥ. So much so that it kills immersion and I didn't really care about any of the characters. Voice acting and facial animation are well below par for a game at this price. In-game cinematics are poorly executed.Ĥ. You have seen everything the game has to offer halfway through the game.ģ. It would be better to not say anything rather than having the dialogs repeat themselves.Ģ. Dialogs have repetitions in them as well. There are mini challenges which lack variety and you would have to watch cutscenes everytime you complete them. Hardly found any bugs and zero game breaking bugs though it did crash two times while playing.ġ. Character storylines are really well done.Ħ. Some of the side quests don't really feel like side quests and blends in with the main story really well. The skill tree is pretty well done and all skills cannot be learned so you would have to pick and choose wisely.ĥ. Having a flawless encounter is hard in this game.Ĥ. Combat can be engaging and while its easier to learn, its hard to master especially when taking on large groups of enemies. Hogwarts is full of little secrets so exploring Hogwarts is lot of fun.ģ. The spells are divided neatly into categories and clever management of spell sets will make this game enjoyable.Ģ. There are more than enough spells and spell management is the core of this game's combat. Initially one may think that there aren't enough spells but I felt differently. This game isn't bad but its not something that will blow you away either.ġ. But if you don't much care about Hogwarts and the wizarding world and you want to play a good game then you would want to wait for a good sale on this one. There hasn't been a good game around the world JK Rowling had created up until now. This is a game for the die-hard wizarding world fan.

Aside from the fact that Rodriguez movies are always set in either Texas or Mexico (this movie has both locations) the action that fills the second half is more Rodriguez-esque as well. The second half of the movie feels more like pure Robert Rodriguez style. There is suspense and the character of Richie could fill a whole movie. The first half of the movie is great and feels like classic Tarantino. Something as simple as that line adds so much to how we view Richard. Richard puts in a retainer and gives a strong look at Juliette Lewis. He has a line that I believe reveals much more about the character than most people think: Maybe not the best, maybe not the coolest but the most interesting. I think he is one of the most interesting characters ever committed to film. Seth Gecko is the man, he is awesome, and Richard Gecko is a mentally unstable, highly volatile sexual offender. played by George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino. The first scene sets up the style for the first half of the movie and introduces us to the characters of Seth and Richard Gecko. I guess Planet Terror has a happy ending after all.īack to the opening. Since Earl McGraw doesn’t die during the Zombie Apocalypse and instead in a Liquor store, that means that he survived all the destruction and that Texas (where both movies are set) has been completely rebuilt and life has adjusted back to normal in just a short amount of time. The end of the film shows most of the world in ruin, with completely destroyed cities in the wasteland. Planet Terror has Earl McGraw fighting his way though zombie sickos but he survives. That is a great accomplishment seeing as he was in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Earl McGraw gets killed in “From Dusk Till Dawn”, that means that he must have survived through the events in the other movies that the character has been in. Now if you take that into account to find the chronology of the character you get something rather interesting. Now here is my theory about Michael Parks in the Rodriguez/Tarantino movies: Michael Parks has been in “ Kill Bill” (Vol 1-2), “ Death Proof“, and “ Planet Terror” (collectively “Grindhouse”), and of course “From Dusk Till’ Dawn” all playing the same character. This was actually the last to be filmed because it was the only time Michael Parks was available. “From Dusk Till’ Dawn” opens with a scene that takes place in a Benny’s World of Liquor. In Desperado Tarantino acted as the pick up guy, which is a much smaller part than the trailers led to believe while Rodriguez was the writer/director. Each directed a full movie shown back to back, and Tarantino also acted in both. The reason for this was because Rodriguez wanted to introduce Tarantino to filming digitally), “ Grindhouse“. Tarantino was a special guest director who did one scene in the movie. They have also worked on “ Four Rooms” (the two of them each did one part out of the 4), “ Sin City“. Separately they are my two favorite directors so having them together is just amazing. Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino are a filmmaking dream team and work so well together. He is great at portraying violent characters and can give a deep insight to twisted minds and motives. Tarantino was very disappointed with how “Natural Born Killers” turned out and I think the movie would have been much better if he had directed it. He wrote “ True Romance“, and “ Natural Born Killers” but did not direct. This is not the only time Tarantino has written a movie but not directed it. He left that job to his good friend and fellow director Robert Rodriguez. Tarantino wrote and starred in “From Dusk Till’ Dawn” but did not direct it. Quentin Tarantino took a directing hiatus for a while which he says officially began when “From Dusk Till’ Dawn” finished wrapping up. I like both parts and feel that they don’t completely clash in a bad combination, but that they compliment each other perfectly. I fail to see being surprised is a bad thing. The main reason is not that they wouldn’t like the two parts separately, people simply don’t like being surprised by movies. The mainstream audience generally liked the first half of the movie, but once they get to the bar and the movie completely changes its style, tone and pace most people stop liking it. From Dusk Till Dawn is a cult classic completely deserving of the title and really underrated. Novartis also recently reported that Deramaxx (deracoxib), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is being produced at a contract facility and is also back in full supply.

Save money on popular pet meds by switching to Publix Pharmacy. Elanco Animal Health has revived a long-gone parasiticide with the reintroduction of the heartworm drug Interceptor Flavor Tabs. Prior to the Lincoln facility shutdown-which Novartis initiated voluntarily in 2011 after the U.S. Novartis says production of Sentinel was restarted earlier this year, and with inventories in stock for all sizes, the product is now being distributed to veterinary clinics throughout the United States. “Therefore, we have discontinued production of Interceptor (milbemycin oxime) Flavor Tabs for the U.S. “Providing broad-spectrum heartworm and flea preventive at these prices creates a new standard of care in the market,” the letter states. The company also says it will not reintroduce Interceptor, a heartworm control product containing just milbemycin, at all. In a letter to veterinarians mailed the week of April 8, Novartis says the new pricing-about half of 2011 prices-is not a temporary promotion but permanent. “This active ingredient, coupled with milbemycin oxime for heartworm and intestinal parasite prevention … positions Sentinel Flavor Tabs as the new standard of care.” “Lufenuron has been used successfully over 15 years to help stop fleas before they become adults,” Blacka says. “Pets will receive broad spectrum protection against five parasites at a price commonly seen in the marketplace for products that give protection on only three.”īlacka says Sentinel Flavor Tabs have a long history of effective flea control due to the product’s active ingredients, lufenuron and milbemycin. The company is reintroducing the product at a lower price that Novartis hopes will boost compliance and “establish a new standard of care for clinics,” says Jim Blacka, DVM, global head of professional services at Novartis Animal Health, in a company release. The beef-flavored tablets, which are given orally to protect dogs from heartworms, fleas, whipworms, roundworms and hookworms, have been absent from the market since Novartis suspended production at the facility in late 2011. Production of Novartis Animal Health products at its Lincoln, Neb., facility has resumed and Sentinel Flavor Tabs are once again available to veterinarians and pet owners. That’s just one feature of the Toyota Safety Sense P suite of features (TSS-P), which includes forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. It’s a warning light in your side mirror that makes you aware there’s another car beside you, so don’t switch lanes. Neither had seen the blind spot alert feature before. The folks up front (my boyfriend, AKA our driver, and the grandma) were blown away by all the safety features. Turns out that’s really all a teen girl wants to do on roadtrips anyway. They were able to plug in their phones, both of them, and watch, or make, all the videos they wanted the entire drive (tik tok, anyone?). No more pleading with the person up front to run a cable that wouldn’t reach the back seat anyway. The girls were thrilled by all the USB charging ports in the back. That just doesn’t exist in most cars anymore when it comes to the back seat. I was happily surprised at all the leg room. That turned out to be fun, actually, and I admit, no one felt cramped. I gave up my seat up front to the grandma riding along and took a seat in the back with my daughter and her bestie, both 14 year old girls. Being it was the holiday and we were leaving on one of the busiest travel days of the year, we knew it would be a long journey. They refuse to refund the original 1,000.We left Atlanta after work on Friday, headed for Jacksonville, to the first of two Grandma’s houses we were visiting. The sheet he sends me is for a cheaper vehicle than what we were negotiating on. We negotiate it down and he sends me a sheet to sign in agreement. He bumps the price up 5,000 more after not answering his phone for a few days. He tries to get me to buy one I don't want for 10,000 more. One month later, he tells me he cannot get it for me. I was assured that if I put 1000 down I could get the new vehicle I wanted in 2 months. I found that everything he said eventually turned out to be a lie. To be specific, my salesperson was Kelsey Layton. They refuse to refund the original 1,000. At the level of deception I experienced, I can only describe the business practices of Serra Toyota as a scam. I would like to just accept it as how the car business is, but I cannot. I was less of a customer and more of a mark to the salesperson.

Ĭaesium-137 is also used as a radioactive tracer in geologic research to measure soil erosion and deposition. Due to the residual radioactivity and legal hurdles, the resulting material is not commonly recovered even from "spent" radioactive sources, meaning in essence that the entire mass is "lost" for non-radioactive uses.Īs an almost purely human-made isotope, caesium-137 has been used to date wine and detect counterfeits and as a relative-dating material for assessing the age of sedimentation occurring after 1945. Cobalt-60 decays to stable nickel, whereas iridium-192 can decay to either stable osmium or platinum. However, while 137Ĭs is a waste product produced in great quantities in nuclear fission reactors, 192Ĭo are specifically produced in commercial and research reactors and their life cycle entails the destruction of the involved high-value elements. 192Ĭo, are preferred for radiography, since these are chemically non-reactive metals and can be obtained with much higher specific activities by the activation of stable cobalt or iridium in high flux reactors. A large emitting volume will harm the image quality in radiography. The latter has been used in demonstration of chemically stable water-insoluble forms of nuclear waste for disposal in deep geological repositories. Other chemically inert caesium compounds include caesium- aluminosilicate-glasses akin to the natural mineral pollucite. It is possible to make water insoluble caesium sources (with various ferrocyanide compounds such as NiĦ, and ammonium ferric hexacyano ferrate (AFCF), Giese salt, ferric ammonium ferrocyanide) but their specific activity will be much lower. Also the higher specific activity caesium sources tend to be made from very soluble caesium chloride (CsCl), as a result if a radiography source was damaged it would increase the spread of the contamination. Isotope separation is too costly compared to cheaper alternatives. Ĭaesium-137 is not widely used for industrial radiography because it is hard to obtain a very high specific activity material with a well defined (and small) shape as caesium from used nuclear fuel contains stable caesium-133 and also long-lived caesium-135. In industry, it is used in flow meters, thickness gauges, moisture-density gauges (for density readings, with americium-241/beryllium providing the moisture reading), and in gamma ray well logging devices. In medicine, it is used in radiation therapy. In small amounts, it is used to calibrate radiation-detection equipment. Uses Ĭaesium-137 has a number of practical uses. One gram of 137Cs has an activity of 3.215 terabecquerel (TBq). A total of 85.1% of 137Cs decay generates gamma ray emission in this manner. Barium-137m decays to the ground state by emission of photons having energy 0.6617 MeV. Barium-137m has a half-life of about 153 seconds, and is responsible for all of the gamma ray emissions in samples of 137Cs. The remainder directly populates the ground state of 137Ba, which is stable. Ībout 94.6% decays by beta emission to a metastable nuclear isomer of barium: barium-137m ( 137mBa, Ba-137m). The characteristic 662 keV peak does not originate directly from 137Cs, but from the decay of 137mBa to its stable state.Ĭaesium-137 has a half-life of about 30.05 years. Seaborg and Margaret Melhase.ġ37Cs gamma spectrum. After being deposited onto the soil as radioactive fallout, it moves and spreads easily in the environment because of the high water solubility of caesium's most common chemical compounds, which are salts. Caesium-137 has a relatively low boiling point of 671 ☌ (1,240 ☏) and easily becomes volatile when released suddenly at high temperature, as in the case of the Chernobyl nuclear accident and with atomic explosions, and can travel very long distances in the air. It is among the most problematic of the short-to-medium-lifetime fission products. Trace quantities also originate from spontaneous fission of uranium-238. ), cesium-137 (US), or radiocaesium, is a radioactive isotope of caesium that is formed as one of the more common fission products by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. Multiply or Overlay are good options, sometimes you can even Apply Image twice. Important: If your hair is light on a dark background then you need to invert some of this as far as when to Dodge/Burn and when to use Black/White. This will be what I work on until otherwise stated. I'm going to duplicate that channel and rename it to Hair Mask. Select the Channel with the most contrast in the fine outer hairs. Note: I'm going to be doing the body in a separate layer so I'll be ignoring it for most of this tutorial until the final few steps This is if you want to get higher quality results. Graphic Design Stack Exchange: How to cut how hair accurately Advanced hair extraction tutorialįirst off, plugins and simpler methods are available. If you need the detail, create a hair mask as Ryan shows. If your final result is going to be scaled down (for web viewing, for example) I'd just use this approach. Which isn't as good as Ryan's, but can take less than a minute and requires very little care, and is noticeably better than the Paint Bucket Fill approach. Make sure "feather edges" is selected with a relatively high radius.Īnd then use the curves tool again, this time even more aggressively (since none of the actual subject should be affected): This leaves the corners a little bit of a bluish off-white, so repeat the fuzzy select, clicking in a corner with a much lower threshold (10, 11, something like that). and draw a curve like this, smashing all of the extreme almost-white highlights to pure white, and bringing up the rest very aggressively: It's easier to see what you're doing in logarithmic view mode. Then, Grow that selection - the goal is to cover all of the places where gray shows through the hair but not get too much of the face: The example is in Gimp, but uses tools that you should be able to find in pretty much any program.įirst, use the "magic wand" selection tool with a very broad threshold (here, about 60): However, I want to show how you can get pretty good quick results with just fuzzy select and the Curves tool rather than paint bucket. I don't have Photoshop, so I'm not the best-suited to answer that.įor an alternate way to get the result you want, Ryan's answer is great and I definitely recommend that masking approach. Changing this the tool's mode to Luminosity may get you what you want. That's why you get the blue or the gray→gray effect. The color replacement tool isn't working for you because its default mode is "Color", which changes hue and saturation, but not luminosity (brightness/value). How can I change background color to pure white? Second method changes colors more accurately (without hair cuttings), but colors are "transparent". How to change background color properly? First method is quite untidy. Instead of real blue (dark) color I get this kind of transparent, unsaturated blue. I will show it on the example of Blue color (grey changed to grey is unnoticeable). This "white" color is kind of transparent or extremely unsaturated. Using Eyedropper Tool I selected background color and set white for replacement:īut it replaces background color to grey (not white). Secondly, I switched to Color Replacement Tool. Background-to-hair transition bounds are sharp. I selected background area with it and then applied Paint Bucket Tool.

Recreation and Community Center Open Gyms The solution provided here has defaults that launch a Valheim server from a BASH script and have the server firewall (EC2 Security Groups) opened on ports specific to Valheim. You can use this solution to control other game servers with some additional scripting. The solution in this blog post is also extensible. You can add scripts to your Valheim server to further automate certain tasks like updating the server version, or you can just forget about modifying any of it and simply hit some buttons on the pre-built webpage to start/stop/resize the server and play some Valheim! You can dig into the Lambda code (Python if you’re interested) and make it do other interesting stuff. You can choose to have as much or as little control over this solution as you choose. We include some guides on how to do this later on. Similarly, you can change the backup frequency and duration that backups are kept via the AWS Backup service in the AWS console after deploying the solution via the AWS CloudFormation script. You can choose the time the server will shutdown each day either when running the initial setup or afterwards via the Amazon Eventbridge service in the AWS console. We setup a regular backup service to take incremental backups of your server every day and to store those for 7 days just in case you want to restore your server to a previous state. We also create an optional rule to shutdown your server at a certain time every day just in case you forget to ensure you don’t pay for resources you are not using. Security of this webpage is controlled by Amazon Cognito with user accounts created directly in Amazon Cognito after the solution is deployed using AWS CloudFormation. information about server status) are accessible through a webpage that is created and deployed for you by the CloudFormation script.

The solution we have designed adds a serverless control layer to the gaming server with an API to allow 3 actions:ġ. We use the popular game Valheim in this example, however this solution is applicable to any game and just requires some parameter changes – details on how to do this are covered later in this guide. We will also show you how to easily start or stop your server so that you only pay for what you use and benefit from cloud elasticity. This allows one to scale up for a party session on the weekend and then back down again in just a few clicks. In this post we will show you how to achieve both a low cost and high security solution while also providing the added benefit of flexibility to resize the server from a single core and 0.5 GiB of memory all the way to the biggest servers AWS has to offer and back down again. To overcome these challenges players often look to dedicated game-server companies which provide varying degrees of control over the underlying server such as requiring fixed server sizes, giving limited access to mods, or simply charging you a flat monthly fee no matter how much you utilize the server. Playing a game while also hosting the server for it can be a heavy task for any computer, so often players see the best performance while running a server and client on separate machines. To achieve low cost many people host a server on their home computer, requiring them to open up their home network firewall ports in the process and exposing their computer to the wider internet and the associated security risks. Hosting your own personal gaming server is increasingly common given all the benefits and flexibility it provides, however, doing so in a secure, flexible, and cost-effective manner is not simple.
