IMPORTANT:Your “New” and “db” folders should be on a fast, local storage drive (like an internal SSD), but the Stored folder can be on anything you want. You will also need to set the path for the Blue Iris database(db). I set the limit size to 1gb, checked the box to limit the age to 7 days, and set it to Delete. The “Alerts” folder is where all pictures will be stored (including the Deepstack analyzed snapshots). Down the road I may use this folder for exported clips. Since I have my clips set to delete once it hits the 300gb limit, I’m not really going to be using the Stored folder, so I’m setting it to 20gb, unchecking Limit Clip Age, and setting it to Delete. Note:The more cameras you have and the higher resolution they are, the more storage space you’ll need. If you have a large NAS or external drive, you could also click the Move to Folderoption and archive them there instead of deleting. This is basically going to continually record and store footage until your 300gb is reached and then delete the oldest clips. Set a limit, uncheck limit clip age, and set to delete.

Where as we had Eden Eternal players who a majority of players strive for PvP content and where extremely underwhelmed when they realised how bad the games PvP was and went straight back to Eden Eternal. to you also must factor in the communities that went into the game, they had a massive PvE oriented player base on their AK server so of course naturally they will try out their networks "new" game, it's most likely why they even bothered to release it on their AK network instead of what they did with their failed dragomon server where they released it on its own domain instead. There was also lots of wonky changes that the official TW server did to throw us off such as when they changed the games drop system so Bash had to figure out what they changed and how to improve ours back to what it was which was a huge task in itself. to and the constant complaints that "Ohh this dungeon is bugged because the boss is too hard" etc. The constant war between people comparing us to. There is a lot of reasons why Twin Saga failed on this network. The only reason their server even done as good is from the loss of their AK server which was on the brink of dying before they fucked up on TS. In all fairness I just knew it was better than what they were doing. I'm also not saying my work is the best btw or thinking my own shit smells like roses. So yea we had no option but to close down after the big issue as we were paying for a server that wasn't pay for itself since launch and it wasn't worth the hassle anymore. ![]() Jordan came and made a lot of content for you guys and it just didn't grow. ![]() They didn't do anything better not even anything custom, they just slowly released vanilla content and gave away a bunch of free shit and somehow that was better than the stuff we were trying. So yeah ultimately the interest to continue trying to improve the game was lost when we had a low playerbase and every idea being compared to them. We wanted to create challenges you guys wanted to play weeb dress up game and fight easy dungeons with attention spans of fish. to did it this way or that way (ie: making the game too easy). to did or im going there" or you forget about that? We were always against the wall because. What about the first 6 months of constant updates and working hard to receiving "do this because. No offense ,but this is dishonest, and untrue to why the vendetta server failed lol, Maint's were always delay there wasn't a content patch for almost a year if not a year and then when the patch did finally came the sets that were added in were worse then what was already in the game so no reason to get the new gears, it had nothing to do with making the game easy or a challenge lol.there isn't it just didn't work out, it didn't work out because there was a lot of problems with the server. ![]() DESMOS still has some improvements to make.

![]() Someone also mentioned that off cuts were a non-issue in 4.3 (print preview was part of the 4.4.247 update) So if this beta version doesn't work, try also disabling it in the settings. Also note that my tests were done on Windows 10 with a Portrait 3 (I don't own a cameo, sorry).Īlso for those who have had / are having issues with alignment issues, there was a comment on a thread in one of the Silhouette subreddits where a user had spoken to a support rep and was told that print preview may have something to do with the miscuts. Previously, I had to move some cutlines around to get everything centered, but no extra work was required this time which is lovely. This version might not work for everyone, but all of my cuts were perfectly centered. The issue was actually corrected in a previous beta version (4.4.943), but that version is no longer available for download, nor do the release notes list details of this version.ĭo note that print bleed is still NOT fixed, so if you need to use it, you'll need come up with a workaround OR use legacy version 4.4.554. Luckily, this beta version has reverted that change so that the registration mark square is now affected by thickness slider. 28 Share 5K views 5 years ago Now that I've updated my Silhouette Studio 4.1 and made another line-art drawing that I wanted to convert to a cutting file I decided to record my trying. Like many others, this change resulted in cuts near the bottom right corner to be off, even though the rest of the cut job was fine. In the past, I've been going around telling people to use legacy version 4.4.554, because the next update after that (4.4.895) introduced a change that "Stopped the Registration mark square from being affected by the thickness slider" which somehow ended up throwing off registration by a lot, despite the change being very small.

The researchers used SSRL’s Structural Molecular Biology Program facilities, which are supported by the DOE Office of Science and the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of General Medical Sciences.Įditor’s note: This article is based on a press release from the University of Saskatchewan.Ĭitation: Ashley K. SSRL is a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility. The research was funded by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, the Canada Foundation for Innovation, and Canada Research Chairs. Researchers from the Japanese Ministry of the Environment, National Institute for Minamata Disease also contributed to the study. “More work is needed to explore the molecular toxicology of these compounds to understand the ways they could be toxic to humans, animals and the environment,” he said. “It was this species that very likely contaminated Minamata Bay and subsequently gave rise to the tragedy of Minamata disease,” said Graham George, a professor of geological sciences at the University of Saskatchewan and an expert in the spectroscopy of toxic molecules, although the researchers are not yet sure of the implications for public health and the understanding of mercury poisoning. Instead, it was most likely α-mercuri-acetaldehyde, the toxic effects of which have not been studied in great detail. But the team was able to determine that the mercury compound was neither inorganic nor methylmercury. ![]() “These kinds of samples have very low concentrations of mercury, so getting enough of a signal out of them to distinguish the different chemical species is pretty demanding,” Sokaras said. At SSRL, the team used sophisticated X-ray spectroscopy methods along with computer modelling to make fine distinctions between different mercury compounds and ultimately identify which one resided within the cat tissues. In an effort to resolve lingering questions about the origins of Minamata disease, a team of University of Saskatchewan researchers revisited one of the cat samples in collaboration with Dimosthenis Sokaras and Thomas Kroll, staff scientists at SLAC’s Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource. For one thing, the levels of methylmercury in the cat samples were relatively low, and no one was quite sure why. More recently, studies of samples from the brains of cats that had been fed plant waste in the late 1950s suggested the plant had dumped that organic form directly, but even then questions remained. The disease, which at the time sickened more than 2,000 people – most of whom died – was soon attributed to industrial waste from a nearby chemical plant, but the exact nature of the mercury compound involved remained unclear.Īt first, it was thought the plant was dumping an inorganic form of mercury, which microorganisms in the bay transformed into a more toxic organic form called methylmercury. ![]() When children and adults in the area also began to get sick and die, doctors took notice. Minamata disease, which is the subject of a film premiering February 21 at the Berlin International Film Festival, emerged when “dancing cats” developed neurological symptoms, including convulsions. Their study was published recently in Environmental Science & Technology. Drawing on sophisticated X-ray spectroscopy techniques, researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Saskatchewan have traced the origins of the Minamata tragedy, which unfolded in 1950s and ‘60s Japan, to a little-studied mercury compound dumped into Minamata Bay. ![]() The story of one of history’s worst mercury poisoning events has a new twist. ![]() Though some reviews admit that the nuggets are wholesome, there is the lingering feeling that they don’t live up to their potential.In the latter half of 2019, the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich went viral and triggered a chicken sandwich war that pulled in major players like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Zaxby’s.īut with the nationwide debut of the Popeyes Chicken Nuggets on Tuesday, the fast-food chain is now asking for a cease fire.

The paper addresses two important considerations in optimizing the cross-section design of a tetrapod breakwater: the shape and weight of the concrete breakwater cap and the related stability of the harbor-side armor units under wave overtopping conditions, the simultaneous selection of the optimum combination of the design wave height, the tetrapod form size, and the concrete density.

Similar designs Ī wave-dissipating concrete block is a naturally or manually interlocking concrete structure designed and employed to minimize the effects of wave action upon shores and shoreline structures, such as quays and jetties. Their proliferation on the island of Okinawa, a popular vacation destination in Japan, has made it difficult for tourists to find unaltered beaches and shoreline, especially in the southern half of the island. Tetrapods have become popular across the world, particularly in Japan it is estimated that nearly 50 percent of Japan's 35,000 kilometers (22,000 mi) coastline has been covered or somehow altered by tetrapods and other forms of concrete. Tetrapods were first used at the thermal power station in Roches Noires in Casablanca, Morocco, to protect the sea water intake. ![]() The French invention was named tétrapode, derived from Greek tetra- ' four ' and -pode ' foot ', a reference to the tetrahedral shape. Tetrapods were originally developed in 1950 by Pierre Danel and Paul Anglès d'Auriac of Laboratoire Dauphinois d'Hydraulique (now Artelia) in Grenoble, France, who received a patent for the design. Tetrapods are made of concrete, and use a tetrahedral shape to dissipate the force of incoming waves by allowing water to flow around rather than against them, and to reduce displacement by interlocking. The present study aims to compare two known methods of tetrapod placement in relation to breakwater stability.
