![]() In these deferred rendering engines, the only real option for good anti-aliasing is to supersample the image - and current hardware just isn't powerful enough for that yet in demanding games.Īnd I'm finding that I get more enjoyment out of playing older games that use forward rendering, where I can crank up the anti-aliasing to very high levels. On PC, where we've been able to use high levels of MSAA and transparency anti-aliasing, losing this has a significant impact on image quality. Consoles have never had the power to implement high levels of good anti-aliasing, so the switch to deferred rendering had little negative impact on image quality there. I have to imagine that one of the main reasons deferred rendering engines are gaining popularity is due to consoles. MSAA can be implemented in these engines, but it's typically not very effective at removing aliasing despite a huge performance hit, and just look at how people reacted to the option being made available in XCOM2. ![]() MSAA and transparency effects are massive performance hits in deferred rendering engines which is why awful dithering effects are common instead of real transparency, and post-process anti-aliasing is typically the only option made available. The game includes a sharpening filter to counteract the blur that temporal anti-aliasing introduces, and that's likely exaggerating some of the aliasing. Welcome to modern game engines which use deferred rendering that favors lighting & effects over image quality. ![]() For people complaining about the aliasing:

![]() I was all alone and I figured the roofers next door wouldn’t take time out of their work day to help a sister out. Please excuse the fact that there is no picture showing me staining the lattice. ![]() There were some places where the stain got on the painted wood, but it just wipes right off while wet or its an easy touch-up. I just took a piece of cardboard and held it up against the top of the lattice to keep the stain from getting on the painted wood. To do the lattice, I didn’t tape anything off. Yep, its just like spray paint, except its stain. Remember when I did that mailbox makeover last year? I turned once more to Thompson’s WaterSeal Traditional Brown Wood Stain Spray. The kid only goes to preschool two days a week and I need every second of that time to accomplish multiple projects. Like two days worth of preschool and ain’t nobody got time for that. Who really wants to stain lattice by hand? Do you see all those criss-crosses, nooks, and crannies? It would have taken forever for me to do this by hand. I know that the previous owner did not build the porch onto the front of the house, so I’m not sure if they ever spruced up the lattice or not.Įither way, the lattice definitely needed a facelift. I hadn’t touched it since we bought the foreclosure and the house had sat vacant for a year before we got it. I have no idea when the last time was that this lattice had been touched. Seriously y’all, excluding drying time, this whole project took less than an hour.

How to Stain Wood the Easy Wayĭisclosure: This post was a collaboration with Thompson’s WaterSeal. So, on that beautiful day a couple weeks ago, I figured out how to stain wood the easy way and gave my lattice a much needed refresh. And when I did do the makeover, I got pregnant half-way through and failed to touch the lattice on account of being tired all the time. I thought it was a good time to spruce-up the porch a bit – seeing as how I have not touched it since its makeover nearly three years ago. I certainly did not want to coop myself up in front of this computer all day. It was sunny, it was nearly 70 degrees and the kid was at preschool (thank heaven). Well, a couple weeks ago it seemed as if spring was finally arriving here (it was a trick though!). I told you that I kinda, sorta, maybe, sometimes ignore the outside of my house. Remember back in November when I made a confession? ![]() Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, did not come to this earth in an exalted state. 12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. 11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. ![]() 10 And do not be called teachers for One is your Teacher, the Christ. Does God see? Does God hear the scorn? Yes! Solomon states that God not only hears the scornful, but He gives grace to the humble.Īs believers do we join the crowd of scorners or do we wear the mantle of humility? We must all search our very hearts to see if we truly align ourselves with God's Word!ĩ Do not call anyone on earth your father for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. ![]() We understand scorn! Scorn for policemen or any authority. People are on edge from being in isolation for so long, so the country is ripe for dissension, and it is no surprise that a rebellion has occurred over the death of a black man by a white police officer. The coronavirus, COVID-19, is still raging across the land, though it is continuing to decline at this time. I am writing this devotional in June of 2020. Surely "He scorns the scornful but gives grace to the humble." If one were to read a chapter a day for the rest of their lives they could never plumb its depths. The book of Proverbs is filled with wonderful nuggets of truth. God regards the lowly-He has an personal relationship with them, but the proud He only knows from afar. What does that mean? As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we have the opportunity to, like David, have an intimate relationship with God Himself. Unlike us, God "regards the lowly, but the proud He knows from afar." Though we may be like ants to Him, yet He even knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts. Indeed, God dwells on high and continually looks down upon all people. He states in verses 4 and 5 of this same Psalm, "All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O L ORD, for they have heard the words of your mouth, and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, for great is the glory of the L ORD." God was not impressed with royalty or riches. He understood that God did not look upon the outward appearance. David, a man after God's own heart, had an intimate relationship with God. Psalm 138, a Psalm of David, is filled with thanksgiving to God. Though the Lord is on high, Yet He regards the lowly But the proud He knows from afar. ![]() Their imagery, however, reveals elements of a basic cosmology, suggesting a religious context and meaning that precedes evidence of their use in administrative contexts. By and large, seals have been studied as administrative and economic tools, part of a developing system of record-keeping in the millennia preceding the first writing. The evidence is a set of imagery carved on small, portable objects such as palettes and seals, as well as their impressions on clay. It considers the connection between those images and a broader Neolithic cosmology and, finally, the ways that both changed as cities replaced villages. This article addresses the visual culture of the Neolithic Near East, in particular that found on seals and sealings, objects often associated with information storage and administration. A complex picture has emerged in which it appears that Domuztepe’s prehistoric inhabitants used material culture, particularly ceramics, to express identity, group cohesion and social distinction. Detailed stylistic analysis has employed statistical techniques to identify and assess the strength of stylistic modes of communication (Irving 2001). The pottery assemblage recovered during this excavation has been the focus of analyses designed to probe more deeply into the use and manipulation of ceramic style. This period is important because it encompasses a period of change and social development, when pre-urban societies begin a series of transitions towards urbanization. The site is located in south-eastern Turkey and dates to the Late Halaf period (c. The site of Domuztepe has been a joint excavation project between the University of Manchester and the University of California at Los Angeles since 1995. Pottery decoration in particular, is a rich source of variation, which can provide signifi cant insight into social activities and human interactions. The investigation of ceramic style, however, can offer signifi cant opportunities to assess social activity, development and behavior in past societies. ![]() ![]() There are few ceramic studies that have sought to extend data analysis beyond the creation of chronologies and archaeological cultures. Paddock described himself as something of a rolling stone who split his time among California, Nevada, Texas and Florida, traveling at one point “maybe upwards of three weeks out of a month.” In the deposition, Paddock said he had a concealed weapons license in Texas, but, other than that, there was no discussion of guns. Reporters were turned away by a security guard after seeking access to the gated community where he lives. Winkler did not respond to an email or phone call seeking comment for this story. “It means I pay a fee yearly … I have good access to him.” “He’s like on retainer, I call it, I guess,” Paddock said of Winkler. ![]() Paddock was asked whether he had a good relationship with the doctor who prescribed him the pills. CNN could not independently confirm that information. Winkler prescribed him diazepam in June, based on information contained in Nevada’s prescription drug monitoring database. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Dr. It is not known when Paddock last took the drug. Rage, aggressiveness and irritability are among the possible side effects of taking diazepam - better known as Valium, according to a manufacturer of the drug. It was unclear how often he took the drug, but he estimated that he had 10 or 15 pills remaining in a bottle of 60 that were prescribed a year and a half earlier. He said he was prescribed Valium “for anxiousness” by Nevada internist Steven P. He said that he had no mental health issues, no history of addiction and no criminal record. Paddock’s testimony offers little insight into what could have prompted last week’s attack. The document has been turned over to the FBI, according to sources. What otherwise would have been a mundane proceeding offers fresh details about Paddock’s life and habits - for the first time - from the killer’s own mouth. Paddock was deposed Octoas part of a civil lawsuit against the Cosmopolitan Hotel, where he slipped and fell on a walkway in 2011. The details are contained in a 97-page court deposition obtained exclusively by CNN. This was Stephen Paddock as he saw himself four years before he opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers, killing at least 58 people in the worst mass shooting in modern American history. ![]() He wagered up to a million dollars a night, but wandered around glitzy Las Vegas casinos in sweatpants and flip-flops, and carried his own drink into the high rollers’ area because he didn’t want to tip the waitresses too much. ![]() He took Valium at times for anxiousness, and had the doctor who prescribed it to him on retainer.

There are a few chondrocyte-like cells in the nucleus pulposus. The nucleus pulposus is made from randomly arranged collagen fibers and radially organized elastin fibers surrounded in a highly hydrated aggrecan-containing gel. The cells in the outer region of the annulus fibrosus are fibroblast-like cells which are disposed parallel to the collagen fibers, while those in the inner annulus fibrosus are chondrocyte-like cells. The endplates serve as an interface between the disc and the vertebrae, they cover the upper and lower level of the annulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus.

Pain can be related to different types of pain which come from muscles, bones, vertebral joints other than the intervertebral disc or other structures in the spine.

Airborne Kingdom uses fantastic writing to keep the player engaged. Airborne Kingdom is a really relaxing and engaging experience. A Relaxing ExperienceĮven with all these individual elements seeming chaotic and stress full. These will improve how well the city runs and improve the performance of the Kingdom’s fuel resource consumption and adding permanent buffs to buildable objects. Small towns to recruit citizens and purchase resources. The city is free to fly around the world, exploring places on the map like ancient ruins to collect relics. Airborne Kingdom is also an open-world RPG. From blueprints for new engines, buildings and so on.Īfter mastering the games mechanics, the adventure changes. And the rewards for completing the quest and getting the Kingdom to join your new alliance are invaluable to the Kingdom’s survival. These tasks are varied and different (for the most part). So it is up to us to travel around the world and complete missions for each kingdom to get them to forge new alliances with you. The Kingdoms Are Broken And Something Is DifferentĪirborne Kingdom wants you to reunite the twelve kingdoms to bring prosperity to the world once more. It impressed me how intuitive it was to keep on top of these elements. This might all sound complicated, but Airborne Kingdom makes them all fit in place and feels they really natural after a while. Or the city might not have enough speed to gather resources. So we need more engines to keep the speed up. Not only do engines keep the city airborne, they also produce forward momentum. Therefore, more engines are a must have to keep it up in the air. While expanding, the city will become heavier and the single engine cannot produce enough thrust to keep it aloft. Your wee city will have but one engine to keep it from crashing and burning. However, there are structures that can be added to keep your city level like wings and engines. Evenly distribution of weight is vital to saying a float. So, as you are building, you must take into consideration where the weight will be. You will eventually flip and everyone will fall out of the city. This needs sorted as if it gets heavier on that side. Levelling The Flying CityĪs you build and expand, your Kingdom you may notice your city leaning to one side. These are your ability to keep aloft and also making sure you keep the city level. This adds a bit of forward planning on the layout of the city.īut that seems fairly standard? Well, with this being a flying city, there are two elements that you HAVE to understand before building anywhere. Each facility has a ring around them to show how far homes need to be away from them. Industrial building that will help to improve your city or the airfields and so on, have their own exclusion area. As long as they are in range as the aircraft has a limited range.Īirborne Kingdom has not made building facilities as simple as build it here, and we are done. To gather the resources, the citizens will fly down to terra firma and gather the required resources and bring them back to the city. Coal is by far the most important resource not to run out of, or your city will crash and burn (I tried). ![]() ![]() It is a simple click on the world where you would like to go and the city will tranquilly and serenely move to the point on the map. You can move around the beautifully designed world this is vital to the city’s survival and reuniting the kingdoms. Let’s will start with you are flying! This opens up a few new ways to play a city builder. This comes with its own unique benefits and drawbacks. The first thing you will notice is (it is in the title) your AIRBORNE Kingdom is flying. After this, things get a little different. The usual suspects are here, making sure there is enough housing for citizens, building on connecting paths, while making sure you have enough resources to survive, food, water, fuel and building materials. Familiar But DifferentĪirborne Kingdom has enough elements to feel familiar enough to pick up while adding a lot more that feel like natural additions. These give more information on the kingdom and its blite. The other story elements come from the kingdoms and doing the quest that they ask you to do. Your ten citizens and you embark on the monumental task of saving the world.

Judging by the fact that the icons shown above do not even stand out from the toolbar and because of that are not recognizable as interactive elements, I very much doubt that.īut even ignoring that, making a custom icon theme is little benefit for a hell of a lot of time invested. ![]() I believe using a pre-existing icon theme designed by professionals is a better idea than making your own. Implementing that would let you use every freely-licensed icon theme ever created. I’d like to point out that there is a specifications for icon set format that also specifies the pseudocode for icon lookup. i have a shape on my mind already but if someone has a idea i’d like to hear it first… a lot of icons will probably be a colection of objects held together by something and that’s where i expect this shape to become handy. but the current application icons both have a square base shape and that’s kinda unsatisfactory. this is a experimental idea, of course they should still be easy to differenciate. perhaps the Ion shell is a “classical” shell, but a vi-like editor isn’t what most people would expect an editor to be…įurthermore i was thinking of having some simple shape as a basis for application icons. i’m not sure how generic or brand-ish they should look. i’m not so happy with the icons for Ion and Sodium quite yet. I started a git repository for the new icons i have so far, inluding 32*32 px png versions. (like this silver database cylinder thing, it that the file manager?) but sometimes i can’t quite figure out what they represent. there are of course some icons in the screenshots that i can try to replace. and i don’t know where else to find the icons you need. i tried to run redox in VirtualBox and Hyper-V on two differet machies respectively and i weren’t able to run Redox in there. |
