7/26/2023 0 Comments Tooth and tail soundtrackThe last such case is “Archimedes, Left Hand of the Civilized,” featuring classical guitar strums and harmonics, zesty violin vibrato, and some peppery organ riffs. Each of these early tracks is dutifully introduced by the barroom chorus from the opening track with roaring fanfare. In “The Quartermaster of the KSR,” a meek balalaika trembles before the might of snorting trombones and a flaring trumpet. “Bellafide, Firebrand of the Longcoats,” on the other hand, sees a peppy bassoon solo worming its way under a playful combination pizzicato, Spanish guitar and tambourine. With “Hopper, Flagbearer for the Commonfolk,” Austin begins leaning into subtle chromaticism to hint at a more threatening atmosphere beneath the album’s belligerent exterior. This conflicted mood persists all throughout the album, as demonstrated by its first handful of tracks. This opening track lingers in a minor key, but also has a certain swagger thanks to the swing in its time signature – making the track both grizzly and comically off-kilter. Tooth and Tail sets its own rules right away with “The Food of Beasts,” deploying Mariachi-style trumpet against a pompous – and very possibly drunk – male chorus, and concluding with some playful counterpoint between a detuned piano and acoustic guitar. In fact, few other soundtracks in gaming, if any, are quite like it – even taking into account Tetris’s Russian heritage and the somber, slavic undercurrents of Papers, Please. The album succeeds, first and foremost, in establishing itself as a significant stylistic departure from Austin Wintory’s previous works. Does this unconventional album make for a rare treat from one of the industry’s most versatile composers? Body The latest of Austin Wintory’s wild departures is the original soundtrack to Tooth and Tail – or, as the man himself puts it in the album description, an excuse to produce “tangos and latin dance music…using early 20th century Russian instruments.” This combination is already unique in the world of game music in general, let alone in the context of Austin’s discography. From the detuned ragtime of Monaca: What’s Yours Is Mine to the Nordic anthems of The Banner Saga to the orchestral ambience of the Grammy-nominated Journey, Austin has proven his adaptability across a variety of disparate projects. While games composers can seldom afford to linger in a single musical style, few commit themselves to the exploration of new genres and combinations of sounds with the same fervor as Austin Wintory.

In flight ops you'll do CAFRS (tracking crew members and their flight records), flight following (RTO and log flights in a DA 31), and other tasks specific to what kind of aviation unit you end up in. To expand as an actual 15P, since that dude hasn't even shipped yet according to his profile: You will either end up in a S3 shop/orderly room and do whatever the hell you do in an orderly room or get lucky and get a spot in a flight ops section, which is where I am.

7/26/2023 0 Comments Playdead limbo logo pngI do expect that this game has a very narrow target market. You could even use just one finger (or thumb) if you wanted to-though it’s easier to use two. In fact, I felt the controls for the iOS mobile version were nearly flawless for what the game is. I read reviews about it saying that the controls were frustrating at times but I did not experience that. I am a game developer myself and while I will acknowledge that some of the art and graphics of Limbo inspired some that in my first game “Rubberband Stan,” I never actually played Limbo. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I am! However, this is a minor annoyance rather than a game-breaker. I feel like an option to have a small directional pad in the corner of the screen would be easier. But there are times when you need to get close to harmful items to move them, but you accidentally nudge too much and end up dying. To move, you slightly drag your finger in the direction you want to move. My ONLY complaint is that the controls feel too touchy. I’ve only been playing for less than two hours, and I’m in love with the game. It’s not red blood and gore, but you definitely have moments where you say, “oh wow.” I mean like, “caught in a bear trap with blood splattering” die. Now, I don’t mean die like “oops I messed up and have to go back to try again. The difference here is that Limbo takes it one step further and let’s you die. If you’ve played Unravel, you’ll notice a lot of similarities in Limbo a cute character in an unknown world, solving puzzles to progress through the beautiful, dream-like landscape. 7/26/2023 0 Comments Mountain dew riseIn 2020, PepsiCo announced a more than $400 million investment over five years to lift up Black business and communities, and increase Black representation at PepsiCo. PepsiCo's and James' shared commitment to uplifting and impacting underserved communities – layered in with the MTN DEW RISE ENERGY ethos to help everyone reach their full potential – creates a powerful combination with the opportunity to impact communities over the course of the partnership. "He is not only going to be an incredible brand partner to MTN DEW RISE ENERGY, but we also look forward to the collective impact we can make on the people we serve through education, social justice and community initiatives." He dominates on the court, has a thriving enterprise, puts his family first, and is committed to social change and making a positive impact on communities," said Adam Harter, SVP, Media, Sports and Entertainment, PepsiCo.

The multiyear PepsiCo partnership with James includes Beverages with MTN DEW RISE ENERGY and will activate across PepsiCo's portfolio in unique and unexpected ways including in the Snack category. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring that to life through this partnership with PepsiCo." "The ability to rise and find motivation to do more and be more every single morning is powerful. When I first learned about the message behind the drink – the fact that every day is a chance to rise for all of us – that really resonated with me," said James. "It's important to me that I believe in the brands and products where I invest my time. He not only continues to excel on and off the court but has dedicated his life to help others rise as well." "LeBron is the epitome of motivation and has achieved legendary status by seizing every morning. "As energy beverages evolve to provide even more functional benefits, we're excited to introduce the new MTN DEW RISE ENERGY for those looking for a morning boost with enhanced mental clarity and immune support that helps you conquer the morning to conquer the day," said Fabiola Torres, CMO and SVP, Energy Category, PepsiCo. With Citicoline and caffeine to boost mental clarity and Zinc for immune support, MTN DEW RISE ENERGY is designed to awaken ambition and help people conquer the day. MTN DEW RISE ENERGY has approximately 180 mg of caffeine, vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fruit juice. No one embodies this mentality better than NBA icon, businessman and philanthropist LeBron James, an integral partner behind the launch of MTN DEW RISE ENERGY, a new kind of energy drink specifically formulated with ingredients to kick off the morning with a mental boost, immune support, and zero grams of added sugar. Every morning is a chance to seize the day and close the gap between intention and motivation. 7/26/2023 0 Comments Obstacle racer inflatable bouncerEveryone will be running back for more – making your party a success!

In addition, the complex tessellations in this work may provide new insights for understanding self-organised systems in biology and nanotechnology." This method can be potentially applied to other molecular systems with multiple types of intermolecular interactions to build even more complex architectures. Prof Loh said, "By considering the symmetry of the molecular building blocks and substrate, as well as introducing multimode interactions, we can open up new routes to construct complex surface tessellations. The geometric similarity between these two molecular phases allows the molecular units to serve as tiles to tessellate and form highly complex molecular tessellations. The high-density phase is formed by halogen bonds, while the low-density phase is formed via a halogen-gold coordination network. The two molecular phases, a high-density phase and a low-density phase, arise from the different intermolecular and molecule-substrate interactions. A research team led by Prof Loh Kian Ping from the Department of Chemistry, NUS has demonstrated that highly complex periodic tessellation can be constructed from the tiling of two molecular phases that possess the same geometric symmetry but different packing densities. 7/25/2023 0 Comments Trazodone for insomniaSmall amounts of trazodone have been found in breast milk. Information on the use of trazodone in breastfeeding is limited. Studies have not been done to see if trazodone can cause behavior or learning issues for the child. However, in one study of 18 infants who had been exposed to 50 mg/day of trazodone for insomnia in the third trimester, withdrawal symptoms were not reported.ĭoes taking trazodone in pregnancy affect future behavior or learning for the child? Symptoms include jitteriness, breathing problems, or difficulty feeding. These symptoms are sometimes referred to as withdrawal. The use of antidepressants in late pregnancy can cause temporary symptoms in newborns soon after birth. Will it cause withdrawal symptoms in my baby after birth? I need to take trazodone throughout my entire pregnancy. One study found no greater chance for preterm delivery (delivery before week 37) or low birth weight (weighing less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces at birth) in babies who had been exposed to trazodone during pregnancy. These studies did not find an increase in the chance of birth defects above the background risk.ĭoes taking trazodone in pregnancy increase the chance of other pregnancy-related problems? Studies have looked at close to 200 pregnancies where trazodone was taken during the first trimester. One study found no increase in miscarriage when trazodone was taken during pregnancy.ĭoes taking trazodone increase the chance of birth defects?Įvery pregnancy starts out with a 3-5% chance of having a birth defect. Based on the studies reviewed, it is not known if trazodone increases the chance for miscarriage. Studies have not been done to see if trazodone could make it harder to get pregnant.ĭoes taking trazodone increase the chance for miscarriage? Can it make it harder for me to get pregnant? It is not known if or how withdrawal might affect a pregnancy. Withdrawal symptoms reported with trazodone have included agitation, anxiety and sleep problems. This might lower the chance of having withdrawal symptoms. If you do decide to stop taking trazodone, it is suggested that any reduction in trazodone be done slowly, and under the direction of your healthcare provider, rather than stopping all at once. Your healthcare providers can talk with you about the benefits of treating your condition and the risks of untreated illness during pregnancy. However, it is important to talk with your healthcare providers before making any changes to how you take this medication. Sometimes when people find out they are pregnant, they think about changing how they take their medication, or stopping their medication altogether. Some brand names for trazodone include Desyrel®, Oleptro®, and Trazorel®. It is often used in combination with other medications used to treat depression. Trazodone is an antidepressant and sedative that has been used to treat depression and symptoms of insomnia (unable to sleep or having poor sleep). This information should not take the place of medical care and advice from your healthcare provider. You’ll find answers to common questions families have about accessing mental health supports and services in BC for their child or youth.This sheet is about exposure to trazodone in pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
7/25/2023 0 Comments Gold element brittleFirst, some technical editing will be applied to the list of elements in Table 1. Now it will be shown that there is some correlation between the physical ductility’s and the number of shells in each electronic configuration. For the general ductility treatment of Section VII the ductility measure for cast iron is about that of T/C = 2/5 = 0.4, giving general agreement between the two very different methodologies, but which still have the same limits. Take iron for example, with its physical ductility of D = 0.43. Still, most of those elements in Table 1 are in general agreement with perceived ductility levels. It must be cautioned that these physical ductility’s for the elements could be considerably different from those for the compounds and alloys of the same generic names. The final step is to take the table of elements from Section XII to obtain the following table of physical ductility’s for the solids forming elements.Ī graph of the physical ductility’s from (6) along with the values for a few of the elements from Table 1 are given in Fig. This might at first seem surprising but actually it is consistent with the modeling of atomic potentials that are generally found to be of high order polynomial form. When (5) and (6) are combined it is found that the physical ductility, D, is a sixth degree polynomial in κ. Then the physical ductility, D, is determined by Of necessity there is an inflection point involved with (4) that will later relate to the ductile/brittle transition.Ĭollecting the governing forms for the physical ductility together, then the nanoscale variable κ is found from experimental values of ν for the elements from (1). There is no unique form for this, but the lowest order polynomial to satisfy the end conditions is given by Thinking of this relationship as y = f(x), then an explicit form for it must be found. This is to use the absolute limits on ν of 0 and 1/2, as derived in Section XII, to require that a relationship between the ductility index (2) and the physical ductility, say D, must have vanishing slopes on a D versus ductility index curve at the limits of the latter, which are 0 and 1. The next step leading to the measure of physical ductility is developed here. Knowledge of the values of Poisson’s ratios for the (polycrystalline) elements then gave the corresponding ductility indices for the elements, establishing the rank order list of the ductility’s. The relationship between the nanoscale variable κ and the macroscopic Poisson’s ratio ν was found to be given by Involving the ratio of bond bending to bond stretching stiffness was used to form the ductility index as Then this nanoscale analysis was extended to the three dimensional conditions in Section XII and applied to the problem of assessing the ductility of the elements. This planar form of elemental carbon was amenable to a complete analysis which revealed the relationship of the two dimensional Poisson’s ratio of graphene to a nanoscale variable determined by the ratio of the bond bending resistance to the bond stretching resistance for the carbon atom. The related work preceding that of Section XII was the study of the properties of graphene in Section XI. The program now is taken a step further by deriving an explicit physical ductility measure from the ductility index of Section XII. This rank order list was expressed in terms of a ductility index. The end result was a rank order list of ductility’s for those elements forming the more commonly used solids/materials. In Section XII the ductility of the elements was initiated as an area of study. 7/25/2023 0 Comments Rear delt cable crossoverThere is a blog post focusing on this product.
