7/6/2023 0 Comments Garrys mod games![]() ![]() So you can spend your free time designing, for instance, a new animatronic from FNAF or a particularly tricky puzzle for The Backrooms. Things get even more fascinating when you discover that there are a lot of GMod versions dedicated to popular games that might also be present in your own collection. ![]() For instance, if you just came up with an innovative design of some futuristic laser gun, why don’t you also create a map with a variety of destructible objects to find out how it works? Luckily, there is an option to test it out when it’s done. And you have to consider it while creating another genius invention. That means all the elements of your hand-made environment interact with each other just as they would do in real life. What makes the sandbox particularly enticing is that it is based on realistic physics. They will surely appreciate it because there can never be enough of new ideas when you play Garry’s Mod! Real-life physics – test your inventions in action! You can also share your own creations with the rest of the game’s fans. So you will always gain access to new and new incredible stuff. Members of the community constantly add all kinds of things they were able to engineer in GMod to the bulk of options already available there. In the menu, you will find an immense choice of various elements you can use to craft something interesting and ready structures that can be put on the map right away. It’s a totally open sandbox where you can create just about anything building a world of your own or just a tiny fraction of it – you are the one to choose the scale of your creative efforts. There is no storyline in Garry’s Mod to follow, no characters to upgrade and no particular rules to stick to. Start by making something simple – like a car – and end up building complex mechanisms the likes of which won’t probably be seen in the nearest future! You can create whole maps and test your inventions there! Tons of options – create, invent and build anything! Garry’s Mod is an incredible sandbox based on realistic physics and offering countless opportunities for creating all sorts of stuff. ![]()

7/6/2023 0 Comments Allegory of the cave story![]() This knowledge not only is capable of saving the human race, but it also allows Cooper to communicate back to earth and to share what he has learned. In further inspection, we see that the tesseract also uncovers the cave of knowledge. Cooper must complete an arduous journey to reach it. In an obvious sense, this other realm is the exterior of the cave. From this, he communicates back with those on earth to help save humanity. Through many unexpected events and some surprisingly accurate physics, Cooper eventually arrives at a black hole and uses it to slingshot into a tesseract (perhaps simply described here as another realm to those unfamiliar). It follows Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a farmer, who leaves the blighted and dying earth in search of a new planet. The latest Christopher Nolan installment, Interstellar provokes the imagination of viewers. In a sense, he chains them inside his cave and forces them to play along. It is unclear if Caden is able to see the world as it actually is, but it is clear that he inhibits and prevents his actors from leading normal lives and having any autonomy. Plato originally envisioned that those who were able to see the world as it actually is (the philosophers) would return and enlighten those still inside the cave. This blurring of reality inverts the analogy, of course. Soon it becomes hard to tell which characters are actors in his play from which characters are actors in the film attempting to live their lives in peace. Written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, Synecdoche, New York blurs Caden’s imagination with the reality of the world around him. After facing a series of awful and unfortunate events, he becomes obsessed with a play he is producing and devotes his entire life to making it his masterpiece. Synecdoche, New York is a reverse application of the cave analogy, because it follows Caden Cotard (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), a theater director in Schenectady, as he leaves reality and enters the cave. But, no Hitchcock film is truly a Hitchcock film without a murder, so anticipation builds and the film builds up to a dramatic climax. In fact, of this list, this is the most visually allusive to the allegory of the cave. Inside the cave, Hitchcock gives viewers an eerie remake of the cave allegory, as the camera follows the shadows of those in the boat just through a cave. Bruce then stalks Guy’s wife at a carnival and eventually climbs onto a boat she and others are riding to an island. In what can only be described as a perfect coincidence, he runs into Bruce Anthony (Robert Walker) on a train, who convinces him that he is the perfect person to commit such a murder. Guy Haines (Farley Granger), a tennis star, wants to rid himself of his wife. Thanks to a speech Emmet gives, Lord Business reforms simultaneously while the boy’s father realizes that gluing the pieces together inhibits his son’s creativity, and so both worlds are saved as the “Piece of Resistance” is used to cap the “Kragle.” Thus, by turning to the higher realm, Emmet is able to save Lego World. The boy’s father has been gluing the pieces together to keep them the way he envisioned Lego World, to his son’s chagrin. When the real world is revealed to viewers, we realize a boy has been playing with Lego pieces and that “The Kragle” is actually Krazy Glue with letters missing from the tube. Analyzed at this level, the film seems a bit cliché, but there is much more depth. After being captured and watching his friend die, Emmet escapes and rallies the people of Lego World to fight against Lord Business. ![]() ![]() Construction worker Emmet Brickowski discovers a woman named Wyldstyle digging through his construction site and accidentally falls through a hole to discover this “Piece of Resistance”.Įmmet is therefore dubbed “The Special” and sets out to fight Lord Business. What films would you add to this list?įull of hidden messages and allusions, The Lego Movie is about a prophecy, which predicts one named “The Special” will prevent the evil “Lord Business” from using a weapon of mass destruction named the “Kragle” with the help of a “Piece of Resistance”. ![]() I limit this list to one film per director, though many of these directors have several great platonic films. In what is to follow, I list 10 great films that feature Platonic cave allegories. Nearly all philosophy is indebted to Plato in one way or another, so unsurprisingly many films allude to him and to his cave allegory in particular. Sound familiar? One of the oldest thought experiments in philosophy’s history, Plato’s allegory of the cave serves as a vehicle to help his audience imagine a world or reality outside the one they know. On this wall, you see shadows of figures and objects illuminated by a fire positioned behind you. You are trapped in a dark cave, chained up and forced to look forward onto a wall in front of you, and you have been in this position since your birth. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Alpha bravo charlie delta echo![]() ![]() The words were chosen to be accessible to speakers of English, French and Spanish.Īlthough spelling alphabets are commonly called "phonetic alphabets", they should not be confused with phonetic transcription systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. ![]() In 1956, NATO modified the then-current set of code words used by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) this modification then became the international standard when it was accepted by ICAO that year and by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) a few years later. The specific code words varied, as some seemingly distinct words were found to be ineffective in real-life conditions. To create the code, a series of international agencies assigned 26 code words acrophonically to the letters of the Roman alphabet, with the intention of the letters and numbers being easily distinguishable from one another over radio and telephone, regardless of language barriers and connection quality. ![]() The ITU phonetic alphabet and figure code is a rarely used variant that differs in the code words for digits. Technically a radiotelephonic spelling alphabet, it goes by various names, including NATO spelling alphabet, ICAO phonetic alphabet and ICAO spelling alphabet. The (International) Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, commonly known as the NATO phonetic alphabet, is the most widely used set of clear code words for communicating the letters of the Roman alphabet.

There is a lot of churn within industries. They are going to be mad because you left them hanging. ![]() They aren't going to blame your boss if you leave with only 15 minutes notice, no matter how bad your boss was. Your peers, your direct reports, your clients, and your boss's peers also matter a great deal. Your boss isn't the only person that matters. ![]() With few exceptions (see below) you should never quit without warning. Normally a boss might be a bit cranky and even angry at you for leaving, but that doesn't justify bad behavior on your part. I have even heard stories of bosses calling the new employer and attempting to destroy the employee's reputation. If they don't want you to come into work once you're committed to working for a competitor, they should pay you for a reasonable notice period. Legally (in most situations) they can do this. Some bosses will terminate you immediately, regardless of how long you've said you have until your last day. Bosses sometimes go crazy when employees resign. ![]() Don't you think? You need to give them as little time as possible to do that. It's a little trickier if you need to relocate, though.īosses would be willing to sabotage your job change because they think they are understaffed and can't afford to lose you. You want as little down time as possible between jobs. If possible don't quit your job until the day before you start your new one. Your company doesn't care one whit about you and will fire you at the drop of a hat, so why on earth should you give them two weeks-or any length-of notice before you quit? In a discussion when to give notice, BNET commenter Bouchart wrote: ![]() ![]() ![]() So, for example, if you struggle against a certain monster's attack pattern, you can decide to come back to its home region later, without worry that you'll return and just steamroll through the monster. Instead, each region has different types of mythological creatures that scale to your level. So we wanted to have 'comeback later moments' in the combat, the puzzles, and in the exploration across the entire world."Īs mentioned before, Fenyx Rising won't restrict your progress through your level. So while you do have the base set of tools to go everywhere, there are some limitations-certain skills you might need, certain places you can't get too early on with the stamina you have. ![]() He continued: "It's really up to, but the challenge will come from not being able to get to every place right from the beginning. "And Hephaestus' region tends to be one of the more vertical areas, because it has these sort of caverns or areas down below closer to the underworld." "Aphrodite's region tends to be the flatter area, for example," Phillips said. And that's the sort of loop that we wanted, where you see an interesting thing from a high point, and then you go and explore there, and you're going to find something fun to do."Įach of the four regions you explore present different types of topography, encouraging you to explore in new ways and regularly return to old areas with the new skills and strategies you develop as the game goes on. And when you go there, you're going to find multiple things to do. So that's the sort of thing where it's a really interesting, unique thing that you're going to see in the distance. Like for instance, in Hephaestus' region, you might've seen, or nearby actually, there's a giant snake or a dragon skeleton. We're able to call out more often with visuals, using distinct, non-realistic places to create interest. We wanted to push them to the player in a more visual way, because we have this fantastical mythological setting. "It's more on the player to explore the world and to find these things rather than us necessarily, on the game side, pushing them to the player. "It's a bit of a different mechanic for us," Phillips admitted. Nothing is revealed to you until you actually see it, so you can't just climb a tower and get a bunch of markers added to your map in traditional Ubisoft open-world style. The only thing limiting your progress is your stamina, which you can improve by completing combat and puzzle challenges hidden in small tombs scattered across the map. Protagonist Fenyx can climb practically anything, sprint, tame wild horses for fast transportation, and jump from cliffs and glide. With only a general idea of where you need to go, it's largely up to you in how you get there.

To prevent dehydration when working out, it’s important to stay hydrated, especially if you’re working out in hot or humid conditions. Instead of forcing yourself to do an exercise you don’t like, think of activities you do enjoy.įor example, if you hate running but love dancing, taking a dance class like Zumba is a great way to improve your aerobic fitness. However, even if you don’t enjoy these activities, there are plenty of ways to improve your fitness. Many people associate getting fit with going to the gym, lifting weights, and running on a treadmill. HIIT training is an advanced form of exercise, and is best suited for people already physically active. An example would be 10-second sprints with a 30-second rest between each sprint.Īlong with improving your cardiovascular fitness, HIIT training may improve your insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and help you lose abdominal fat. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) involves repetitive bouts of high-intensity intervals alternating with rest periods. For example, if you’re 45, your maximum heart rate would be 175. You can estimate your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. Your target heart rate during aerobic exercise is 50 to 70 percent of your maximum for moderate-intensity activities, and 70 to 85 percent your maximum for vigorous activities. Two examples of relaxing activities include yoga and meditation.Ī 2016 study found that medical students who underwent six weeks of yoga and meditation had significant improvements in feelings of peace, focus, and endurance. Including stress-relieving activities in your weekly routine can help you relax and improves your ability to handle more intense workouts. Getting more than 300 minutes per week is linked to additional benefits. The American Heart Association recommends getting at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week to strengthen your heart and lungs. Aim for more than 150 minutes per weekĮxercising regularly can help boost your energy levels by helping you sleep better and increasing blood flow throughout your body. This principle involves making gradual increases in either volume or intensity to continue improving your fitness.įor example, if you want to improve your 10-mile run time, you’ll need to gradually make your workouts harder by increasing either:ģ. Overload principleĪnother basic concept for building an effective fitness program is the overload principle. For example, if you build a workout program that consists primarily of upper- body exercises, your upper-body strength will improve but your lower-body strength will stay about the same. It means your body will adapt to the specific type of exercise you regularly perform. SAID stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. One of the fundamental components of building an effective fitness program is the SAID principle. Here are some tips for building an endurance program: 1. You can improve your endurance and stamina by regularly performing aerobic exercise that challenges your lungs and heart. ![]() For example, cardiovascular fitness could be measured using a 1.5-mile run test and the result could be compared to benchmarks for certain age groups.Ī variety of tests could be used to measure muscle endurance such as a maximum push-up test for upper-body endurance or maximum sit-up test for core endurance. Both of these components of fitness can be measured objectively. There are two components to endurance: cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. Physical fitness is often divided into five components: Unlike endurance, stamina itself isn’t a component of physical fitness, but it’s the result of becoming fitter. Stamina for an 85-year-old grandfather might mean having enough energy to play with his grandkids. Having good stamina for a professional basketball player might mean being able to get through an entire game without a dip in performance. It can be thought of as the opposite of fatigue, or the ability to feel energetic for a prolonged period. When people talk about stamina, usually they’re referring to their ability to perform an activity without getting tired. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Fingerprint near me![]() If you were previously fingerprinted by DOI and require a copy of the results be sent to a new employer, you may request a copy by phone.
