Do you gain new troops for your army? Do you free cities, so you can equip new items, get more information from your spy, Riz, to make your prisoners talk? Or, do you go defeat the key NPCs so you can gain control of some incredibly powerful monsters? Now, do not get me wrong, there are goal posts you must go through, yet, in what order you do most of them… well that is up to you. After the depth that I had encountered so far, I wasn’t expecting the freedom to now go on as I wish. After rustling up some bare bones mercenaries, who you can then develop into an army, you are released onto the world map. It can take 2 to 3 hours for the game to open up. These, along with the very deep character development system, will provide you with different experiences to your friends, and will still be rewarding when you replay Blackguards 2. Battlefields can offer different win conditions, be it having set characters reach an end zone, or defeating all enemies. You will fail, you will see your heroes die, but do not be disheartened. can alter the battlefield in infinite ways. There are multiple ways to tackle each situation your talents, etc. Thank goodness.Īs you set out to recruit your companions – the Forest Man, the Son of No-one, and Slave-mage – you will start to see how deep the combat is within Blackguards 2. If you do not, then you can blitz through the non-combat aspects of Blackguards 2 with the ease of a knife through butter. You must use the branching communication trees, read the compendiums, and interact with everything that can be clicked. It’s time to escape.īlackguards 2 offers a lot of lore, yet a lot of it isn’t handed to players to devour. As you can expect, it won’t be working as intended whilst it is in the hands of a once beautiful, adored and influential women who has become scared, twisted and power mad. This book will be her guiding light for much of the game. Yet, she lacks purpose, which is where the first real story anchor comes into play a book that Cassia discovered during her first trip into the labyrinth, titled The Good Ruler. They are now her sisters, her family, and her guardians against whatever else lays in wait within the Labyrinth. She is no longer tormented by the spiders. She adopts a pet spider, which I decided to name Eight Legs. This was going to be taxing: remembering to never judge an arena by what I could see, but instead by what I couldn’t see, and what my enemies could.Īfter roaming the labyrinth for several years, after being bitten and consumed by the venom of her arachnid tormentors, Cassia goes all Selina Kyle on the player. This alone showed me that I wasn’t going to be playing an RPG that would hold my hand. You can pitch the camera up and down, to gain different vantages points on the battlefield, discovery secrets such as chests, traps and environment hazards to use to your advantage. The game shifted from the side-view, narrative camera angle, to a tactical camera that overlooks a hexagon battlefield. Remember, I had not played the first Blackguards, so I had little-to-no idea what to expect. Venturing off into the labyrinth for the first time, I was taken aback by how the game changed with a loading screen, which itself is another form of narrative. Cassia doesn’t want either, and this is where the game begins. No comic book super powers here, you’ll either go insane or die. Who can blame her? The ones that inhabit the labyrinth, surrounding her tomb, have a nasty bite. Cassia, like myself, does not like spiders.

Pot was used A lot in the neighbourhood and the hotel at the time. I remember the staff as being A lot of fun and friendly at the time. I think children learn to fast as it is already. I enjoyed the craziness of this place, I think.I wouldn't ever take my children here to stay the night. Shoes and caps hanging from the wooden beams above you and more too. I never forgot sitting down to a meal and looking around me at the things that people had left behind as their sovieniers of their crazy life here back in the 1970's to the 1980"s. I enjoyed the restaurant and bar part downstairs. But I quickly forgot this hotel and it's goings on here. I can't comment on my surroundings here because of its wildness and sinful doings. The neighborhood was fun for me at the time in my life. I found this one star hotel to be a bit more than I could deal with. This was my first ever hotel in Amsterdam in 1987 when I was traveling for my work throughout Europe driving for this man.
There were a few solutions, like running rsync with cygwin. The only drawback with this perfect backup tool is that it's not available on windows. : I never had any issue with it, and you can test what rsync will do with the dry run option before doing it. : for example, you can make backups to a remote machine, logging in as a different user. To use: one command is enough to synchronize a whole directory : it uses the size and modification times of the files to decide which files need to be transferred. If you're here, it's because you're desperately looking for a solution to run rsync on windows, so you probably know already that rsync is: , a tool that can synchronize the contents of two directories. And every time, I told myself that this would not happen ever again.Īt some point, I found the solution for macs and Linux computers: When it completes I get some summary output and am prompted to press any key to close.I can't count how many times I've lost files because I was too lazy to set up a proper backup. When I start double-click on the bat file I'm prompted for the password for my remote linux computer.

Here's the batch file ( my_rsync_file.bat) REM Changing directory. I have MinGW (also known as 'Git Bash') on Windows 7, and a batch file that runs rsync to back up files on an external drive on a remote linux computer. Say I want to have a folder called C:\www on my Windows machine and keep it updating \var\www on my remote machine, how do I do that? It's not a backup per se, it updates the files that I edit with my local computer. Can someone provide the steps to set up the connection from the Windows 7 machine to the Linux server remotely? I installed cygwin on my Windows 7 machine and installed the rsync package. I do not want two-way access between the machines, I am only going to be editing files on my local machine and keeping them updated on the remote machine. This is for the purposes of setting up a web server on the remote machine and the editing on my local machine and keeping the files in sync. The command rsync is already enabled on the machine and I can edit any needed access to the machine. The remote Linux server is using Amazon's Linux AMI. What software is needed on the Windows 7 machine to use rsync? How do I use the rsync command from a local Windows 7 machine to a remote Linux server? For example, the orbital angular quantum number \(l\) can never be greater or equal to the principal quantum number \(n(l < n)\). The relative abundance of Deutrium (1 proton, 1 neutron) is so small that it is barely accounted for when calculating the average atomic mass. Protium is by far the must abundant isotope of hydrogen, and it only contains 1 proton, and no neutrons. Not all sets of quantum numbers (\(n\), \(l\), \(m\)) are possible. The average atomic mass for hydrogen is actually around 1.008 amu. Therefore, Relative atomic mass average mass of an atom/mass of carbon-12 x (1/12) 1.0076632 u / 1 u 1. As we saw earlier, it is convenient to use a reference unit when dealing with such small numbers: the atomic mass unit. Average mass of hydrogen (1.007825 u x 99.98) (2.014101 u x0.02 ) (1.007623 0.0000402) u 1.0076632 u The value of one twelfth of the mass of carbon-12 isotope is 1 u. a pollution of 1 gram of benzene in a certain amount of water converts to N A/78.11≈ 7.(\theta)\Phi_m(\phi). We now know that a hydrogen atom has a mass of 1.6735 x 10-24 grams, and that the oxygen atom has a mass of 2.6561 X 10-23 grams. Using the above calculator you could find that e.g. Or 1 mole of a substance will contain Avogadro's number of that substance. A hydrogen-like atom consists of one nucleus of charge Ze and a single electron of charge e, so in addition to H we have He . The term " mole" is defined in that one mole of a substance with a molecular (or atomic) mass of one (1), will have a mass of 1 gram. It is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of one atom of carbon-12 and in older works is also abbreviated as "amu".Īlso, important in this field is Avogadro's number (N A) or Avogadro's constant (6.0221 x 10 23). In related terms, another unit of mass often used is Dalton (Da) or unified atomic mass unit (u) when describing atomic masses and molecular masses. Molecular mass or molar mass are used in stoichiometry calculations in chemistry. This Calculator has been tested on Internet Explorer version 6 only,įirefox might not show all fields correctly.

Firefox 10 added a full screen API and improved WebGL performance, support for CSS 3D Transforms and for anti-aliasing in the WebGL standard for hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. Firefox 10 through 16įirefox 10 and Firefox ESR 10 were released on January 31, 2012. It also features a large list of bug fixes. įirefox 9 was released on December 20, 2011, includes various new features such as Type Inference, which boosts JavaScript performance up to 30%, improved theme integration for Mac OS X Lion, added two-finger swipe navigation for Mac OS X Lion, added support for querying Do Not Track status via JavaScript, added support for font-stretch, improved support for text-overflow, improved standards support for HTML5, MathML, and CSS, and fixed several security problems. Mozilla judged that third-party-installed add-ons were problematic, taking away user control, lagging behind on compatibility and security updates, slowing down Firefox startup and page loading time, and cluttering the interface with unused toolbars. Add-ons installed by third-party programs were disabled by default, but user-installed add-ons were enabled by default. Upon installation, a dialog box prompted users to enable or disable the add-ons. įirefox 8 was released on Novem and prompts users about any previously installed add-ons. Trailing slashes on domains are also hidden, for example: becomes. Some URLs are trimmed in the address bar, so the " scheme no longer appears, but " is still displayed. Firefox 7.0.1 was released a few days later to fix a rare, but serious, issue with add-ons not being detected by the browser. įirefox 7 was released on September 27, 2011, and uses as much as 50% less RAM than Firefox 4 as a result of the MemShrink project to reduce Firefox memory usage. This update also brought the infamous feature that caused JavaScript entered in the address bar to not run. įirefox 6 was released on August 16, 2011, introducing a permissions manager, new address bar highlighting (the domain name is black while the rest of the URL is gray ), streamlining the look of the site identity block, a quicker startup time, a ScratchPad JavaScript compiler, and many other new features. Mozilla also integrated the HTML5 video WebM standard into the browser, allowing playback of WebM videos. Firefox 5 has significantly improved the speed of web-related tasks, such as loading pages with combo boxes or MathML. Firefox 5 is the first release in Mozilla's new rapid release plan, matching Google Chrome's rapid release schedule and rapid version number increments. Firefox 5 through 9įirefox 5 was released on June 21, 2011, three months after the major release of Firefox 4. Chrome switched to a four-week cycle a year later. In 2020, Firefox moved to a four-week release cycle, to catch up with Chrome in support for new web features. Mozilla uses A/B testing and a staged rollout mechanism for the release channel, where updates are first presented to a small fraction of users, with Mozilla monitoring its telemetry for increased crashes or other issues before the update is made available to all users. In 2017, Mozilla abandoned the Aurora channel, which saw low uptake, and rebased Firefox Developer Edition onto the beta channel. For corporations, Mozilla introduced an Extended Support Release channel, with new versions released every 30 weeks (and supported for 12 more weeks after a new ESR version is released), though Mozilla warned that it would be less secure than the release channel, since security patches would only be backported for high-impact vulnerabilities. For example, the nightly channel would feature a preliminary unstable version of Firefox 6, which would move to the experimental "Aurora" channel after preliminary testing, then to the more stable "beta" channel, before finally reaching the public release channel, with each stage taking around six weeks. The release process was split into four "channels", with major releases trickling down to the next channel every six to eight weeks. Ars Technica noted that this new cycle entailed "significant technical and operational challenges" for Mozilla (notably preserving third-party add-on compatibility), but that it would help accelerate Firefox's adoption of new web standards, feature, and performance improvements. In March 2011, Mozilla presented plans to switch to a faster 16-week development cycle, similar to Google Chrome. Main article: Firefox early version history Rapid releases This was gradually accelerated further in late 2019, so that new major releases occur on four-week cycles starting in 2020. Starting with version 5.0, a rapid release cycle was put into effect, resulting in a new major version release every six weeks. Firefox was created by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as an experimental branch of the Mozilla browser, first released as Firefox 1.0 on November 9, 2004.

The graphics are also being kept very simple, far from the Wii's full capabilities. The player can use the Wii Remote as a tennis racket, baseball bat, boxing glove, golf club, or even a hand to roll a bowling ball, and immerse themselves into the game while playing the sport on-screen.Īs opposed to a dedicated sports game, none of the games included feature deep gameplay options. It is a collection of various sports games that all use a unique, innovative control scheme that demonstrates the true potential of the Wii Remote. Because of being bundled with the Wii, Wii Sports was formerly the best-selling console video game of all time.

Let go of the ball at the highest point possible, with just a bit of spin to keep the ball on the barrier. Move your Mii all the way to the left or right, and turn the aim 2 or 3 clicks towards the barrier. When you get to the final bowl for 91 pins, you can bowl the ball along the top of the barrier on either side and hit this button. In the " Power Throws" training game for bowling, you might notice 2 red buttons at the end of the alley - 1 left and 1 right. These Miis will now show up in all Wii Sports games that have an audience. Now if you dont want the Miis on the Wiimote just delete them off. Now check the Mii parade and all 10 of the Miis that were on the Wiimote are in the parade. Then proceed to pick which duration of tennis you'd like to play. It will change from the "?" shadow to your Mii (assuming you are playing alone). On the same side, use the A Button and click on the figure standing at the net.

Here, we test the components inside the panel, focusing on things like your refrigerant levels to ensure your system isn’t running too long, unnecessarily. Once we’re done in the attic - and I really only want my techs up there maybe fifteen minutes on warmer days - we’ll head to the outdoor unit where the majority of the AC tune-up is done. It pays to have a thick layer of insulation up there! Step Two of the Air Conditioning Tune-Up We’ll also check for proper insulation levels in your attic because it creates such an effective barrier between the hot air in the attic and the cool air you’re trying to keep in your house. The secondary drain pan under the evaporator coil in the attic is a potential source of problems as well, so we make sure it’s ready for any emergencies.Īdditionally, we’ll make sure the metering device for your refrigeration system is mounted properly while checking for any obvious refrigerant leaks in the copper tubing. We always offer the option of a condensate safety switch to protect your home from potential damage. The tech will pour water down the drain lines to make sure the condensate drains properly. If it’s dirty or clogged it will make your system underperform.Īs part of the AC tune-up, we also need to make sure your blower and the flywheel is clean and ready to run a lot in the coming summer months. A quick look at the evaporator coil can make a huge difference in the comfort of your home this summer. If it’s not where it needs to be, we have a series of checks we will do to get it right. The most important thing we’re testing is the temperature difference between your supply and return air ducts. The furnace gets physically cleaned during the furnace tune-up, rather than during an AC tune-up, but there are some really important things to check here, so we try to get in and get out effectively and safely. It’s hard to ask a tech to spend time cleaning a furnace in a hot attic. As a responsible business owner, if the furnace is in the attic, I need my techs to get in and out quickly. We usually start out at the air handler in the attic or closet. Step One of Your Air Conditioning Tune-Up Now we all know the system was running when we arrived!įrom here, you’ll be able to sit back and do whatever you need to do while the tech goes out and runs through a list specifically designed for your type of air conditioning system. Once I know what’s going on in your mind as a homeowner, we will turn on the AC system, together, at the thermostat, listen for the air to come on, and walk outside to make sure everything out there is at least running. Because not every homeowner is the same, right? Do any rooms not get the right amount of air? Does it cool the house down to your satisfaction in the middle of summer?
