OK, maybe a bit too much with the crickets. As appropriate, each world contains ambient noise, wind, glitch noises, and crickets. The game engine is able to utilize high res textures which really make the ruins looks authentic via weathering effects.Īnother big plus is on the audio side of things. No doubt the fact that game playing world is a series of ruined structures – based on a series of assets that can be cleverly reconfigured and reused over and over – has helped Croteam hit the hot button resolutions and frame rates. The visuals and the lighting, especially, are fantastic. If there are any frame drops they are unnoticeable or happen during transitional moments and so have no game playing impact.Ĭroteam have used the Serious Engine 4 to great impact with this game. Not sure why anyone would want this option turned on. Turned that off and voila! – the game’s graphics become liquid smooth. Turned out this was due to a ‘Snap To Horizon,” option under the visuals for menu. There was a horrible visual glitch that caused the game to stutter badly when looking around. When I first started up the game on the PS4, my initial impression of the game was not good. This bit of knowledge and the edict that you avoid the Tower cause you to question Elohim’s motivations.

SA 32: The human kingdom of Númenor (home of the long-living Númenóreans or Dúnedain) is founded by the Edain ("fathers of Men") on an island raised from the Great Sea (which lies to the west of Middle-earth) by the Valar. SA 1: The Elven port city of the Grey Havens is founded. Skip ahead if you don't want potential spoilers! The Rings of Power takes place in this time period – though the timeline for the show has been shortened considerably. So join us on a trip through thousands of years of Middle-earth history. In our The Lord of the Rings timeline (which is more than a match for the Star Wars and Star Trek timelines when it comes to complexity), we’ve focused on the events that are most pivotal to the movies and books – so don’t expect a complex explanation of the Silmarils. The same goes for Jackson's trilogies – we're sticking with the books, not the movies. For this piece, therefore, we have decided to go with the original text, as working out when the show takes place would be nearly impossible. That's because the show condenses events massively, meaning that Tolkien's do not line up with what happens on screen. For the Second Age, in which The Rings of Power takes place, we have kept to the dates from the book and not added what happens in the TV series. We've got the important stuff from The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, which all take place in the Third Age, along with the appendices and The Silmarillion below. Though it takes time to get rinsed off completely. It produces enough lather to give a clean feeling. The consistency of this body wash is creamy and has a pinkish tint to it.įirst of all, it has an amazing and sweet fragrance which stays throughout the shower session. It has a flip-top cap which shuts with a click and doesn’t spill at all. Its packaging is appealing and has graphics of pomegranate. I also reviewed Dove Revive Beauty Bar which is a soap version of this body wash. I got attracted by the Pomegranate and Lemon extracts as an ingredient. I’ve tried shower gels and body washes from Lux, Just Herbs, Palmolive, but trying Dove’s body wash was my first time. My skin type is oily but my body’s skin is kind of dry so I never forget it moisturize it. I’ve used Dove soaps and they were moisturizing for my skin.

Anyway, let’s move on to the post which is my review on Dove Go Fresh Revive Pomegranate Body Wash which I’m loving lately. A supply of tea or hot chocolate is all I need to survive through the winter. Winters make me super lazy which makes it tough to wake up early in the morning and blanket becomes my best friend. How have you been lately? I’m going to do some winter shopping and pamper myself with makeup. Shorter wavelengths, like 207–222 nm (sometimes called “far UVC”) are believed to damage the proteins on the surface of the virus that it needs to attach to human cells. The 254 nm light damages the viral deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) so that the virus cannot reproduce. Experts believe that different wavelengths disable viruses in different ways. However, 254 nm may not be the optimal wavelength for killing all viruses. To make a UV lamp, the glass is replaced with a material transparent to UV light, such as fused quartz. But the phosphor deposited on the glass surface of the bulb absorbs that light and re-emits it at longer wavelengths that humans can see. A fluorescent bulb actually produces UV light inside the bulb. These lamps are easy and cheap to manufacture because they use essentially the same technology as a fluorescent light bulb. By far the most common wavelength for germicidal light is 254 nm, produced by low-pressure mercury lamps. Two of the major design choices are the wavelength of light and the method of delivery. Some systems consist of just a bare lightbulb and a timer, while others are mobile robots that can reach hard-to-access places. Īt present there are many different designs for UV disinfection systems. cm −2 of 254 nm light will kill at least 99.99% of “any pathogenic microorganism”.According to the International Ultraviolet Association, it is generally accepted that a dose of 40 mJ Therefore, UVC light is just as novel to SARS-CoV-2 as the virus is to humans. UVA and UVB light rays have limited germ-killing ability because viruses and bacteria have had millions of years to adapt to them.īut UVC light (200–280 nm) is completely absorbed by our atmosphere and never reaches the surface of the earth. These are the rays that can cause sunburn if one stays outside too long without protection. The longest wavelengths are UVA (315–400 nm) and UVB (280–315 nm), which are found in ordinary sunlight. All of them are invisible to the human eye. UV light is generally divided into three classes, based on the wavelength of the light. Credit: Dimer UVC Innovations, with permission. It requires an operator, who is protected by a UV light shield, to push it. The GermFalcon is a UV disinfection device that can be wheeled up and down an airplane aisle.

The Russians had lost 125,000 men, ten times the German losses. It was an extraordinary victory for Germany. Brigadier, British Army FOREWORD The Battle of Tannenberg, fought in 1914 between the Germans and the Russians, has all the elements of a story in the Homeric mold. The Battle of Tannenberg, fought in 1914 between the Germans and. The Battle ©f Tannenberg, 1914 By SIR MARK HENNIKER, BART., C.B.E., D.S.O., M.C. In 1914, the Battle of Tannenberg was fought between Imperial Germany and Russia. The Battle f Tannenberg, 1914 By SIR MARK HENNIKER, BART., C.B.E., D.S.O., M.C. On the third day (29 August), the I Corp completed the encirclement of the Russian army, after which Samsonov was never heard from again, and his army disintegrated. The Battle of Tannenberg went down in history as Russia’s worst defeat in World War One. By SIR MARK HENNIKER, BART., C.B.E., D.S.O., M.C. The German XCII and I Reserve Corps pushed back the Russian right, the I Corps their left, and the XX Corps attacked their centre. Unbelievably, the Russians were using uncoded radio transmissions, and by this point the Germans knew exactly where the Russian troops were. In total, they lost around 250,000 men - an entire army - as well as vast amounts of military equipment. On 24 August the Russian advance was halted at the battle of Orlau-Frankenau by the German XX Corps, which then withdrew to Tannenberg. It was a crushing defeat for the Russians. After a series of minor defeats against the Russians, the Germans placed General Paul von Hindenburg in command of the eastern front, with General Erich Ludendorff as his chief of staff, and on 22 August, before leaving for the east, Ludendorff put in place a plan to attack the Russian Second Army under General Alexander Samsonov, ignoring for the moment the Russian First Army. The Battle of Tannenberg, August 26-30, 1914 was between Russian and German troops during the East Prussian operation in the First World War. Battle of the First World War a crushing German victory over the Russians invading East Prussia. 1920x1080 is another common HD video resolution. But as the below chart shows, there are a wide variety of available video resolution formats. HD video is generally defined as having a resolution of at least 1280x720. This is measured by the number of pixels wide by the number of pixels high of a video stream. While this is technically a form of compression, even some top-end professional cameras use chroma subsampling with raw video. For example, chroma subsampling can reduce the bpp from 24-bits to 16-bits without a visible effect on video quality. However, some professional cameras use a technique called "chroma subsampling" to reduce the number of bits needed (and thus the bandwidth required) to achieve a full spectrum of color. Most professional broadcast cameras have a color depth of 24–bits or more per pixel, which is considered “Truecolor” with over 16 million color variations. For example, a color depth of 1-bit is monochrome, either black or white, while 8-bits can generate 256 colors. This is also referred to as bits-per-pixel or bpp, and defines how many colors can be represented by each pixel in the video. The math required to calculate the digital bandwidth requirements for uncompressed video is relatively simple, and all you need are three parameters: What the pay-TV provider does in compressing that video before sending it on to their customers is up to them. For example, broadcasters like ESPN or Discovery transmit uncompressed HD video to the pay-TV service provider to ensure they deliver the best video quality possible. Increasingly, however, broadcasters prefer to transmit their HD video content – especially live content – in an uncompressed state (see Broadcast video having its own network revolution). In a non-HD world, it didn’t really matter if a little video quality was lost. In the not-too-distant past, these types of compression tools were used by broadcasters to transmit source video to distribution facilities. The goal of these compression tools is to reduce the bandwidth requirements of a video file or stream as much as possible while degrading the quality of the video as little as possible – and they accomplish this goal to varying degrees. These are video standards defined by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) that set standards for audio and video compression. Most people are familiar with video formats such as MPEG-2 and H.264. Uncompressed HD: The Future of Broadcast Video So how much bandwidth does an HD video stream actually use? The answer is simple: It depends…Īs you’ll see as we go through the calculations, there are a lot of variables that can affect how much bandwidth a broadcast HD video steam actually uses. Additionally, in film and video post-production applications, native video content can be distributed over the network among video postproduction teams. For example, broadcast video transport from broadcast venue to studio, studio/live broadcast center to studio/live broadcast center, or studio/live broadcast center to a video head-end or satellite distribution point. |
