![]() Over the years Special K have introduced a number of improvements and fixes for both less known games as well as extremely popular ones, and are often most known for its work on titles such as the Tales of series of games between 20, NieR: Automata in 2017, Monster Hunter: World in 2018, or from one of the multitude of other less known games that has seen a few tweaks or fixes across the years. The framework traces its origin back to 2015 and attempts to fix and improve the state of Batman: Arkham Knight, Fallout 4, and Tales of Zestiria. On top of this the framework includes a number of game-specific changes and optimizations that its developer have come across and fixed over the years, although minor ones are not always exposed to the user. The focus is primarily on the graphics pipeline but the tool also includes features such as input device blocking/configuring, window and volume management, enhancements for some of the in-game functionality of Steam, and more. Special K is an extensive game modifying framework allowing for various forms of in-depth tweaking of a game. 10.2 Using dxgi.dll prevents fullscreen optimizations from being disabledįor a crowdsourced list of support across various games, see games compatible with Special K.10.1 Using d3d9.dll prevents games from launching.9.6 Less than 1 FPS in some Unreal Engine 3 games.9.5 Problematic XInput software detected (infinite haptic feedback loop).9.4 Jumbled or overly bright in-game text.9.3 Controller does not work properly with Special K injected.9.2 The Alert (!) sound from Metal Gear Solid plays when the game crashed.9.1 Game crashes with Special K injected.8.1 Change position of Steam Overlay notifications.6.4 Disable the use of input APIs in Special K.

![]() Optimize the video file so that it has a minimal effect on page speed.Introduction to video optimization for websitesĭelivering high quality video content to users is a two-step process. WebM files also tend to be lighter than MP4 files, but MP4 videos look slightly better on mobile devices. MP4 videos are supported by all browsers while WebM is currently only fully supported by Chrome and Firefox. Thanks to their ability to pack high quality videos into small file sizes, MP4 and WebM have become the standard formats for platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Which video formats are best for the web? If you have a lot of video content on your website, then you can achieve massive performance improvements by following some video optimization best practices. The size of the average web video also grew from 204 KB to 729 KB in just the past two years. ![]() The size of the average web page grew from about 1 MB to over 3 MB between 20 thanks largely to an increase in video content. ![]() Offering multimedia content is a great way to keep users engaged, which is why more developers are adding videos to their websites. This guide to video optimization explains how to make sure your multimedia content is increasing conversions instead of driving away users. Web users love high-resolution videos, but if your website isn't optimized to handle them, such content can cause performance problems. Adding videos to your website can sometimes be a double-edged sword. ![]() NBA 2020-21 Schedule: The NBA schedule calendar for the 2020-21 season:ĭec.

The Thunder now control their own destiny and all they need is a win over Memphis on Sunday night. The Thunder would go on a 14-0 run that stretched into the fourth and that would be the end of the playoff hopes for Utah. Utah would keep it close during most of the third quarter, and late in the quarter when they had cut the deficit down to on e. He dropped 16, 14 and 8 assists on Utah’s must win night, but it wasn’t enough to overcome all over the scoring sitting in on the bench in street clothes. Kelly Olynyk did most of the heavy lifting for the Jazz on a night that they were without a handful of their stars. SGA had 22, 7, and 7 assists while Giddy and 17, 8 and 8 assists in the win. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have a great game scoring, but he and Josh Giddey did a little bit of everything as both flirted with triple doubles. It was a tight first few minutes, with both teams sharing the lead in the opening quarter, but with the score at 20-19 OKC, t he Thunder went on a 7-0 run and they would not give the lead back to the Jazz. They took care off business against an under manned Jazz team from the very start. They knew coming into the night that they control their destiny, and if they win out they are in the Play-In.

There were whispers that the Jazz weren’t too interested in making the postseason after dealing away Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell in the offseason and then a handful of other key players at the trade deadline, and them sitting two of their best players supports those whispers. Tucker was diagnosed with left ankle soreness and Sexton sat as part of injury maintenance of his left hamstring on the last game of the season. The Jazz were a bit more desperate knowing that they would be eliminated with a loss, but that didn’t stop them from sitting Talen Horton-Tucker and Collin Sexton on a night where Lauri Markkanen and Rudy Gay who were already sidelined with lengthy injuries. ![]() Jazz shorthanded in must win matchupīoth teams came in neck-and-neck in the Western Confence, knowing that this was a must win game.

Want to add a twist and a little more interaction to Ticket to Ride? Throw in the Alvin & Dexter expansion. Ticket to Ride: Europetakes you on a new train adventure across Europe. To get detailed explanations of all the rules, check out the Days of Wonder website. Build train routes across Europe in this sequel to the hit family board game. It’s a light hearted family game that we like to play best with 4 or 5 people.īesides, it takes us off to Europe for a while (at least in our imagination), and that’s always a treat. ![]() We also like the flexibility of determining before each game if we are going to play with all the elements or not (train stations, tunnels, etc.). The Ticket to Ride: Europe version has a number of elements that the original Ticket to Ride game doesn’t have which we have enjoyed. Build your train routes across Europe and score the most points. Do you keep drawing cards hoping for the color you need? Or do you claim that much needed route before someone else does? Ticket to Ride: Europe is a fantastic family board game. One of the elements of Ticket to Ride that we love is the anticipation that builds because you can only choose 1 action each time it’s your turn. (Brooke wanted to do some of the filming this time around, so I’m afraid you’re stuck with dad giving the review this time.) Ticket to Ride: Europe is a train adventure where players collect cards of various types of train cars that enable them to claim railway routes connecting. This standalone variant of the original Ticket to Ride adds ferries, tunnels and stations as players race to connect cities and fulfil tickets across. Players collect cards of various types (trains and ships) that enable them to claim railway and sea routes across the entire globe. We love the fact that even our youngest can understand how to play the game. Ticket to Ride is a cross-country train adventure in which players collect and play matching train cards to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout Europe. The instructions were very easy to understand – making it easy to jump right in to this fun family board game. Commonly, automation in playtesting revolves around agents that can play through the game, or particular game scenarios. Ticket to Ride USA 1910 is a card expansion for the original Ticket to Ride board game. Not having played it before, we quickly dug into the instructions (after checking out the cool train pieces of course). ![]() So when we finally picked up Ticket to Ride: Europe we were very excited to play it. Two of these changes are to do with claiming routes, and they involve different types of terrain on the map, while the third opens up possibilities for claiming destinations. Ticket to FunTicket to Ride was a game we had heard about for a number of years. Ticket To Ride: Europe takes the winning formula of the North America map and moves it across the Atlantic, adding in a few extra wrinkles along the way. Place the European Express Bonus and the Summary card, face up, next to the board, as a reminder to the players. ![]() We want to build trust in our exercise and so we present this data without advocating for particular policies. We also want a much wider audience to have access to timely and trustworthy climate data in a fully transparent way, where the scientific methods are documented for the public record, so we are building an open data dashboard that anyone can access to see the data. We are hoping this data is used by the main users of IPCC information – namely, government climate negotiators – so they understand the scale of action needed. These are rising twice as fast as the average temperature – and are already 1.74☌ above where they were in the 1800s. We mark our intention for doing this in this first year by tracking how daily maximum temperatures have increased over land. In future years, we would like to involve a wider scientific community and especially make it possible to track climate extremes, such as heatwaves, floods and wildfires, like those currently sweeping through Canada. We assessed that this is causing the highest-ever rate of global warming – over 0.2☌ per decade. Both these trends compound to warm the climate. In recent years, greenhouse gases have risen strongly but pollution has fallen around the world. Emissions of greenhouse gas accumulate in the atmosphere, trapping heat, while polluting particles, such as sulphate aerosols produced from burning coal, tend to cool the Earth by reflecting more sunlight. To evaluate how much of the observed temperature changes are caused by human activity, we needed to track how these activities alter energy flows within the Earth system. Indicators of Global Climate Change, Author provided Greenhouse gas emissions are up and so are temperatures. In this first report, we explained how much things have changed since the last comprehensive assessment by the IPCC (the sixth assessment report, or AR6) which evaluated data up to 2019. This tells us how close the world is to breaching the long-term goal of holding temperatures to within 1.5☌ set by the Paris agreement, and how quickly we are approaching it. ![]() From this, we built the evidence to quantify the temperature change caused by human activity. In this first report, we collected evidence on all greenhouse gas emissions and their changes during the pandemic. In a rapidly changing world where policies can shift quickly, this leaves an information gap: trusted indicators on the state of the climate have been missing from annual UN climate negotiations. Yet, they are published around eight years apart. IPCC assessments are trusted as a reliable source of information by governments and their climate policy negotiators. We use rigorous methods based on those established in the comprehensive United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessments. We track emissions of both greenhouse gases and particulate pollution and their warming or cooling influences to determine their role in causing surface temperature change. We are launching an initiative called Indicators of Global Climate Change which brings all the necessary ingredients together to track human-induced warming year by year for the first time. The first report, in what is to become a series of annual reports, has captured the pace at which Earth is heating up. For example, by informing how fast emissions need to fall to meet international temperature goals. It tracks the most recent changes in emissions, temperatures and energy flows in the Earth system. These are the findings of a new report that I have published with 49 other scientists from around the world. At current emission levels, this will run out in less than six years. These changes mean that the remaining carbon budget for 1.5☌ – the amount of carbon dioxide global society can still emit and keep a 50% chance of holding temperature rise to 1.5☌ – is now only around 250 billion tonnes. And it's these temperatures that are most relevant to the record heat people feel or whether wildfires spawn. The highest temperatures recorded over land (what climate scientists refer to as maximum land surface temperatures) are increasing twice as fast. Humanity has caused surface temperatures to warm by 1.14☌ since the late 1800s – and this warming is increasing at an unprecedented rate of over 0.2☌ per decade. Greenhouse gas emissions are at an all-time high, with yearly emissions equivalent to 54 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. ![]() After that we have written “speak.speak(str)” to speak the text written by the user.ĥ.

My personal favorite is 13 or 14th in the list which in my opinion is close to batman's Alfred Pennyworth.Hello friends! So in today’s post I am going to tell you how you can convert any text into speech with the help of Python Programming Language. Languages - List of string languages supported by this voice. Gender - String gender of the voice: male, female, or neutral. The Voice metadata class Ĭontains information about a speech synthesizer voice.Īge - Integer age of the voice in years. Note: in my version of pyttsx3 the docs say: That should print out the list/table and we can choose our favorites there. To see this scribble a bit of code: import pyttsx3 So my basic python skill would suggest to me if we need an english voice, use something like: voices = engine.getProperty('voices')ĮtProperty('voices', voices) The output should trigger the text to voice Bash script.

The lady who wears it is of Ningpo extraction, and by profession a barber, who also makes wigs and chignons for sale. In our land this device would imply a sacrifice of comfort, and here and there a case of strangulation would ensue but no very grave objections could be raised to the novel chignon and its midnight scaffolding, when the interests of fashion are at stake.

In China, with these women, the hair is only done once or twice a week, necessity requiring the wearer to economize time. The dressing of the hair into fantastic forms is naturally a difficult task, and one which, most probably, would shut out spurious imitators in our own country, for few could throw their whole mind and energy into the work. As will be observed, the chignons are each of them different, and all alike deserve careful study by the ladies of Western lands. The nose is prominent, well-formed, and straight, the upper lip short, the teeth white and regular, and the chin well cut.

The overwhelming majority of open fractures occur singularly, but patients may have more than one at a time. Crush injuries are the most prevalently associated with open, lower extremity fractures causing 39.5% of these cases. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of open, lower extremity fractures and are responsible for 34.1% of these injuries. EpidemiologyĪ 15-year review of epidemiologic factors of open fractures in adults, reports the incidence was 30.7 per 100,000 persons per year. High-energy, open fractures are often associated with other life-threatening conditions secondary to poly-trauma and pose other risks such as neurovascular injuries, soft tissue crushing, wound contamination and skin degloving which makes them more likely to have complications. Open fractures occur secondary to trauma. They most commonly occur as high-energy injuries, but can also be a result of low-velocity trauma when the sharp ends of the fracture fragments pierce through the skin and soft tissue. Therefore, any fracture that has a concomitant wound should be considered open until proven otherwise. The skin wound may lie at a site distant to the fracture and not directly over it. Discuss interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination and communication to improve outcomes with the treatment of open fractures.Īn open fracture is an injury where the fractured bone and/or fracture hematoma are exposed to the external environment via a traumatic violation of the soft tissue and skin.Outline the management and followup for an open fracture, both surgical and post-surgical.Review the workup procedure for an open fracture, including diagnostic imaging, laboratory studies, and empiric care where appropriate.This activity highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this condition.
