With newer hardware, it becomes only more likely that things keep running, only faster. I think that the demo will run as expected, but there is only one way of making sure. Quote from: Bart_van_der_Wolf on April 24, 2019, 08:12:14 am Yes, I also use CS6 and NeatImage as a Plugin (not as a standalone application). I have the app but there are a few things I cannot get around so I'll have a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. I believe we have that in common.ĮDIT: I'll be in touch sometime soon re Affinity Photo. They also advised to download the demo version just to make sure the plugin will work in PS-CS6, my preferred version. I am planning to upgrade the GPU soon so that should mitigate the speed "issue" I believe. It did mention that the app wouldn't use the somewhat ancient GPU in my MacPro 2012, but it would work with the CPU quite well, albeit perhaps a bit slow. I received a very inclusive reply that boiled down to their opinion that it should work very well. I sent an inquiry to their "Support" department with all of the information they would need to let me know if the app would work properly on my setup. In my exploration of their site I read a bit about creating ISO Profiles, so that is something I'll do once I have the app installed and running as expected. It does have a huge number of adjustments you can use to set up depending on the results you want.Īnd of course the size of your images does make a difference in processing times. I actually use it inside a VM with 6 cores set and it runs quite fast there but years ago on a slower machine I would simply set it running overnight. It can also use all the CPU cores you have on your machine if you let it - there is a provision in the options menu to set the number of cores used. The one good thing about Neat Image is the capability to batch process hundreds of images in one go. I can usually get a quality rating for my profiles of 98 upwards which gives the best results. The main thing you must do with it is prepare correct profiles for every ISO on the cameras you are using. I use the standalone version and there is no need to upgrade your GPU. I've used this software for many years and, until JPEG to RAW came along was my #1 choice for NR.īut now, since Topaz seem to have totally destroyed that program, Neat Image will be used again.

![]() Many models also allow frame articulation between the front and rear axles, which allows a smaller turning radius in addition to allowing the operator to adjust articulation angle to aid in the efficiency of moving material. Steering is performed via a steering wheel, or a joystick capable of controlling both the angle and cant of the front wheels. They may be used to produce drainage ditches with shallow V-shaped cross-sections on either side of highways. Graders can produce canted surfaces for drainage or safety. Graders are also used to set native soil or gravel foundation pads to finish grade prior to the construction of large buildings. In constructing paved roads, they prepare a wide flat base course for the final road surface. Graders are commonly used in the construction and maintenance of dirt and gravel roads. Graders are used to "finish grade", with the angle, tilt (or pitch) and height of their blade capable of being adjusted to a high level of precision. In civil engineering "rough grading" is performed by heavy equipment such as scrapers and bulldozers. Certain graders can operate multiple attachments, or be designed for specialized tasks like underground mining. For snowplowing and some dirt grading operations, a main blade extension can also be mounted.Ĭapacities range from a blade width of 2.50 to 7.30 m (8 to 24 ft) and engines from 93–373 kW (125–500 hp). A blade forward of the front axle may also be added. Some graders have optional rear attachments, such as a ripper, scarifier, or compactor. Some graders also have front wheel drive for improved performance. Typical graders have three axles, with the steering wheels in front, followed by the grading blade, then a cab and engine atop tandem rear axles. ![]() Although the earliest models were towed behind horses, and later tractors, most modern graders are self-propelled and thus technically "motor graders". A grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader, motor grader, or simply a blade, is a form of heavy equipment with a long blade used to create a flat surface during grading. However, since coronaviruses have many mutants, new primers specific to the target strain must be continuously developed for sequencing. Currently, a method for amplifying a genome fragment using a strain-specific primer set is being used ( Geng et al., 2012 Zhang et al., 2020). In 2004, the complete genome of HCoV-NL63 was sequenced using the Virus-Discovery-cDNA AFLP (VIDISCA) method ( van der Hoek et al., 2005). The first genome of HCoV-229E, reported in 2001, was sequenced by synthesizing it as cDNA and cloning it into the vaccinia virus ( Thiel et al., 2001). To solve this problem, various alphacoronavirus genome sequencing methods have been developed over the past 20 years. Since the viral load in clinical specimens is minimal, it is difficult to directly recover a sufficient amount of nucleic acid for genome sequencing. The use of whole genome sequencing to identify SARS-CoV-2 mutants is a good example ( Wang et al., 2020 Zhou et al., 2020 Hu et al., 2021). Thus, whole-genome sequencing is essential to determine whether a virus is a mutant strain ( Gilchrist et al., 2015 World Health Organization, 2020). Moreover, any viral variant located beside the short marker gene region cannot be determined through the conventional standard rRT-PCR. However, false-negative results may occur when there is a mutation in the marker gene region ( Kevadiya et al., 2021). ORF1a and b ( van der Hoek et al., 2005), and nucleocapsid genes ( Bergner et al., 2020 Morehouse et al., 2020) are used as diagnostic markers. ![]() These two types of alphacoronaviruses are known to cause 30% of common colds in humans ( Su et al., 2016).Īlphacoronaviruses are diagnosed using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). Two types of alphacoronaviruses infect humans: HCoV-229E, which was first described in the mid-1960s, and HCoV-NL63, which was identified in 2004. Unlike betacoronaviruses, which include deadly species such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, alphacoronaviruses have received relatively little attention due to their low fatality rate ( Vassilara et al., 2018). Both alpha- and beta- coronaviruses are known to cause diseases in humans. They are classified into four distinct genera: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. The AC primer set and experimental procedure optimized in this study may enable the fast diagnosis of mutant alphacoronaviruses in future epidemics.Ĭoronaviruses have had a major impact on mankind since the mid-1960s. In the mock clinical specimen, the detection limit was 10 −3 PFU/ml (10 2 copies/ml). The sequencing accuracy varied depending on the sequencing technology, but all sequencing methods showed a sequencing error of less than 0.01%. The amplicon library sequencing data were assembled into complete genome sequences in all sequencing strategies examined in this study. After genome amplification, an evaluation using various sequencing platforms was carried out. The selected primers, named the AC primer set, were composed of 10 primer pairs stretching over the entire genome of alphacoronaviruses, and produced PCR products of the expected size (3–5 kb) from both the HCoV-229E and HCoV-NL63 strains. To this aim, we designed overlapping primer pairs capable of amplifying the entire genome of all known human alphacoronaviruses. Thus, in this study, we aimed to develop a universal primer set valid for all human alphacoronaviruses and applicable to samples containing trace amounts of the virus. At present, there are no universal primers available for alphacoronaviruses and that, since these viruses have diverse strains, new primers specific to the target strain must be continuously developed for sequencing. ![]() However, due to the low viral titers in clinical samples, certain amplification steps are required for viral genome sequencing. Rapid and accurate sequencing covering the entire genome is essential to identify genetic variations of viral pathogens. ![]() In 2022, the military overthrew the government. ![]() This also, sadly, was proven to be wrong since the country has continued to battle severe bouts of political instability. Since Compaoré's exile, it was commonly believed that a new government would bring about new changes and reform in the country. Most recently, he was charged for masterminding Thomas Sankara's assassination in absentia. In October 2014, Compaoré fled to the Ivory Coast after he had attempted to extend his presidency, and continues to remain there in exile. The country's economy greatly deteriorated during this time. The Compaoré administration routinely dismissed, jailed, and tortured critics, and they are believed to be complicit in numerous extrajudicial killings. Although it was commonly believed that the international community (namely France and various West African countries) would provide Compaoré's presidency with support and praise, Compaoré's administration received little to no support whatsoever from the international community.ĭuring Compaoré's presidency, he won four mostly questionable elections and Burkinabé opposition frequently alleged that they were rigged in his favour. In 1987, almost three years into Sankara's presidency, Blaise Compaoré (Sankara's colleague) and twelve other officers staged a coup d'etat against Thomas Sankara's government and executed Sankara in cold blood.įollowing the 1987 coup, Compaoré immediately overturned all of Sankara's policies, and became the country's president. International organisations such as Amnesty International have alleged that Sankara's government curtailed dissent and engaged in extrajudicial killings. His government was successful in accomplishing a lot of feats, such as outlawing forced marriages and polygamy, encouraging women to participate in the government, increasing school attendance, combatting corruption (the Sankara government encouraged the prosecution of corrupt officials), and reducing the overall infant mortality rate.Īlthough his campaigns were largely successful, his policies antagonised the small but powerful Burkinabé middle class, and tribal leaders were stripped of numerous benefits and privileges. In the early 1980s, Thomas Sankara, commonly referred to as "Africa's Che Guevera", initiated some highly ambitious campaigns for social and economic changes, many of which are considered to be some of the most ambitious campaigns ever launched in post-colonial Africa. The country became independent in the 1960s and was renamed to Burkina Faso in the 1980s. 12.05 0.366667 8 Fada N'gourma - gate to the national parks of the southeast.ġ12 (emergency medical services), 17 (police), 18 (fire department).10.316667 -3.166667 5 Gaoua - hardly a pleasant town, Gaoua is near the Ruins of Loropéni, a UNESCO World Heritage site.11.183333 -4.283333 3 Bobo-Dioulasso - the country's second largest city, located in the southwest.It's in the center of the country, in the area known as the Mossi Plateau. 12.368611 -1.5275 1 Ouagadougou, also known as Ouaga (pronounced "wa-ga"), is the capital city.The lushest and most culturally diverse section of the country.Īrid, mostly Muslim, and home to the country's most visited National Parks.ĭominated by the Sahel, home to the Fulani and Tuareg populations of the country.

More persuasive is Barber’s point that our newly recognized global interdependence offers the opportunity to work with international movements and the organizations representing them that have sprung up in the past half-century: the green and environmental movements, internationally oriented rights and labor movements, debt-reduction and literacy projects and many others. Such suspicions are strengthened by noticing the governments the United States is eager to take as allies in the struggle against terrorism: Pakistan and Uzbekistan, among others. The focus on democratic principles may make it easier to gain the support of fellow Western democracies, but these values can still be regarded as secondary to economic interests and the pursuit of empire as the dominant goals of US foreign policy. But though the tiger may have changed its stripes, we might well suspect it is still the same old tiger. I commend Wilentz for commenting positively on Al Jadid (despite its “painful” review of her novel).īenjamin Barber remarks that the September 11 attacks have produced a paradigm shift in government ideology: The old realpolitik has been replaced by a policy with rights and democracy as its goals. US intellectuals and others should pay more attention to minority publications if they want to have a better knowledge of those who share the country (and the world) with them. If Al Jadid has been ignored, it is not because it has not been actively trying to communicate with other Americans but probably because mainstream American intellectuals are too concerned with their own “niche obsessions” (Wilentz’s term for the concerns of some publications like Al Jadid). Many of Al Jadid‘s contributors are Americans of Arab origin, and they represent a good segment of the Arab-American intellectuals and their community. Its reference to Al Jadid is perhaps the first mention that this Los Angeles quarterly, devoted to Arab culture and arts, has had in a mainstream US publication, although it has been published for several years now. Thank you for publishing Amy Wilentz’s “In Cold Type”. Please check out Tikkun on the newsstands or at JO ELLEN GREEN KAISER We are trying to mobilize an activist force to lobby US and Israeli leaders to end the occupation and to support Palestinians in nonviolent action. Because of this position we have received hate mail, and Lerner has received death threats. Some of our strongest pieces against the occupation are by our editor, Rabbi Michael Lerner, who argues that the occupation hurts the state of Israel by undermining core Jewish values. Tikkun has published Said and other Palestinians, along with the remaining voices of the Israeli peace movement, like Uri Avnery, David Grossman and Tanya Reinhart. Those few Jewish voices belong, by and large, to Tikkun magazine, a progressive Jewish critique I help edit. In “A New Current in Palestine” Edward Said asks, “Where are American liberals?” Said’s certainly right that outside of “a tiny number of Jewish voices,” far too few Americans of any stripe are protesting the Israeli occupation. Neve Gordon’s “An Antiwar Protest Grows in Israel” on the reservist protest is the most encouraging news to come out of Israel in months. The player meets various NPCs during their travels. Each chapter begins and ends with a cutscene, consisting of text, dialogue, and animations. The storyline is advanced primarily through literary cutscenes. However, "bonus" wordlock chests are typically hidden in areas where the player is not likely to travel unless they are assiduously searching for treasure. Wordlock chests containing essential quest items are relatively easy to find, either located near roads or their locations being disclosed through interaction with NPCs. Gorath, a Moredhel, can read it, and casting the Union spell allows Patrus to do so for short periods of time. ![]() The Moredhel alphabet is a character substitution of the A-Z alphabet. If no member of the player's party can read Moredhel, the writing on the chest will appear untranslated, although it can still be opened by a brute force method of systematically cycling through each tumbler. Wordlock chests can hold valuable items and equipment, as well as quest items essential to completing the game. These chests have combination locks with letters on each dial, and a riddle written upon them whose answer opens the chest. One of the game's unique features is the large assortment of Moredhel wordlock chests, hidden throughout the land. While traveling, the party camps in the wilderness to rest and recover lost health and stamina, provided that there are no enemies in the vicinity. Only certain locations are accessible in each chapter, though the player is free to explore anywhere within those boundaries as well as take their time performing quests. However, the player is given enormous freedom to explore the world however they wish, with ample opportunity to perform optional sub-quests and enhance their characters' abilities, gain cash, upgrade weapons and armor, and so on. The player can also view the full map of Midkemia and see their location.Įach chapter's main plot usually takes place completely within one or two regions of the game world. The overworld is completely mapped, but other locations are automatically mapped in the top-down view as the player explores them. The game has two possible views, the 3D first-person view and the 2D top-down map view, where the player is represented with a triangular marker. The user interface is mouse-driven, with keyboard hotkeys for each action. ![]() Gameplay occurs mainly from a first-person perspective while traveling the overworld, dungeons, and caves, but switches to a third-person view during combat. The party is travelling east along a road. The main interface of Betrayal at Krondor. GOG.com released an emulated version of Betrayal at Krondor for Microsoft Windows in 2010. Its protracted development experienced considerable delay, and the finished product was not nearly as warmly received as Betrayal. PyroTechnix completed a sequel, Return to Krondor, which was released by Sierra in 1998. Events in the game were also written into the Riftwar novels. The game is designed to resemble a book, separated into chapters and narrated in the third-person with a quick-save bookmark feature.Īlthough neither the dialog nor narrative were written by Feist himself, the game is considered canon, having been novelized as Krondor: The Betrayal five years later. Betrayal at Krondor takes place largely in Midkemia, the fantasy world developed by Raymond E.

The Laff meter functioned as a health meter, representing how much damage Toons could take from the Cogs before going 'sad' – in-game defeat. Each 'Gag track' had Gags with different properties that could be unlocked by completing 'ToonTasks' and each gag track would get progressively more powerful as 'Toons' used their gags more. Gags, rooted in old cartoon slapstick humor, were weapons used to destroy the Cogs in Cog battles. Toons began with basic 'Gags' and a 15-point 'Laff' meter and had a maximum of 137 point Laff meter at the end of the game. Cogs came in four types: brown-clad Bossbots, blue-clad Lawbots, green-clad Cashbots, and maroon-clad Sellbots, each with increasing levels throughout the game that increased their health and damage. "Cogs" were the antagonists in-game, stylized to be corporate robots that wanted to take over the town to propagate business culture. Players were able to customize their Toons in various shapes, colors, clothes, and sizes, as well as their species, with choices consisting of cats, dogs, ducks, mice, pigs, rabbits, bears, horses, and monkeys. Players could create characters called "Toons". The mention of Club Penguin was eventually removed from the statement via Toontown's website likely due to backlash by fans. A month before the closure, Disney released a statement that the company would be "shifting its focus to other online and mobile play experiences, such as Club Penguin and a growing selection of mobile apps". Various Toontown Online servers were shut down over the years long before the US servers closed on September 19, 2013. The game made its official launch on June 2, 2003. Toontown Online, commonly known as Toontown, was a 3D massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on a cartoon animal world, developed by Disney's Virtual Reality Studio and Schell Games, and published by The Walt Disney Company.
