Since its first reveal, Lost Soul Aside has been very well received, including collecting the Most Anticipated Game award and Dev Grant from Epic Games, as well as strong local praise in China, reinforcing its position as one of the most anticipated titles to come from a China based developer. With combat at its heart, Lost Soul Aside has a rich and rewarding combat system that gives player the flexibility to adapt their playstyle, and weapon choice to suit their playstyle to the battle at hand. Set in a fantasy world where science-fiction, swords, and superpowers coexist, Lost Soul Aside is an action RPG that tells the story of Kazer, following his accidental merger with the symbiont Arena. With the full support of Sony Interactive Entertainment and its game industry partners, Yang Bing established Ultizero Games in January 2017 and now has a mature development team of over 40 people. Initially developed by independent producer Yang Bing alone, the game was invited by Sony Interactive Entertainment to join the “China Hero Project” in October of the same year. The first trailer of Lost Soul Aside was released in 2016 and has attracted the attention of global players and the game industry.

I then painstakingly mixed the digital bit over the stuffed analogue channel and the result was so perfect you would probably have to donate your ears to science if you were able to hear what I did and where I did it.This new thread follows from a thread on ClickRepair, for which licenses are no longer available. I then created a noise floor file based on the existing noise on the vinyl and mixed it with the massaged digital file. So in this recent situation I actually went to an alternative source (24/192 source files), spent quite some time massaging those with level changes and some EQ until it matched as closely as my ears could tell the vinyl that I was transcribing. It is pretty easy with a mono recording if one channel only is effected since you can simply copy and paste the unaffected channel onto the effected one (one reason I will stick to using a stereo cartridge on modern mono reissues - once everything is perfect I will take the "better" channel and paste it over the "worst" one so that I have "perfect" mono as an end-result). Anyone who knows how horrible this sounds will tell you that fixing it transparently is almost impossible. In a relatively recent situation I was left with a situation where there were some severe places of non-fill. They are very difficult and time consuming to fix but there is a lot of pride in getting it right. I have, however, come up with some extremely challenging situations in my time. I will still use software for the final touch, but at an exceptionally conservative setting that is so low I have difficultly hearing any effect on the music even though it still exists.Īnd as Bruce says, the right turntable, cartridge and cleaning regime / equipment will make a world of difference. For my own part, after I transcribe a given side, I will run through it visually, place a marker on any obvious glitches then fix them up manually by either re-drawing the wave form with a pencil tool or using interpolation very sparingly, depending on the situation. It is for this reason that I largerly eschew them as Bruce appears to. It is very easy to create a test scenario where you run a segment through the software, invert it, do not hear any music but then when you actually do the processing, the music is very obviously effected, sometimes dramatically. Even though most of the programs have an "inversion" function, I'm not convinced they don't touch the music, however small the effect may be. What's your opinion on recording in DSD and converting to PCM for editing using something like DSD Master or Saracon? I think the DA3000 produces better results this way. The downside is that it takes a (very) long time to do this. The effect is very small and for a noisy record the I think trade off in reduced surface noise is worth it.īased off the above, it seems the best way is using the manual interpolate function in RX to remove anything audible which interferes with the music. Second result was that I feel that both algorithms have the effect of closing in the sound a bit. RX5 is too aggressive, even with the lowest setting I think it's making way way way too many fixes to things which are not audible. First result was that I still feel that the current version of ClickRepair (3.9.5) is better then the current version of RX (RX5). I built a DIY ultrasonic (Elma P60H + vinyl stack) machine last year and that was one of the best things to happen to my vinyl replay.Īnyhow, prompted by this thread, I did a some listening tests over the past few days. Yes I completely agree getting the record as clean as possible before starting is a must. ![]() In “Last Man Standing,” Broomfield comes close to answering the questions - of guilt and recrimination - that have hung over these murders for too long. The movie asks us to connect the dots, and provides a great many dots there are also tales of shattering viciousness. But Broomfield talks to a great many people (gang members, former bodyguards and henchmen, friends and associates of Tupac and Biggie), and what emerges from their testimony is a heightened look at a cultural moment - in hip-hop, and in the marketing of nihilism as celebrity. “Last Man Standing” is, for Broomfield, a relatively prosaic piece of filmmaking (the director, who we hear tossing out questions, doesn’t place himself at the center of the movie in a way that lent his earlier films a suspenseful charge). Knight is now serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter (in 2018, he was convicted of committing a fatal hit-and-run), and with the former rap mogul behind bars, a lot of his former associates are a lot less scared of him than they used to be. He has also, for what it’s worth, dropped the Tupac/Suge conspiracy theory. were connected to Suge Knight’s empire, and that they were likely involved in the murder of Biggie. But Broomfield builds on a thesis that he presented in “Biggie & Tupac”: that rogue members of the L.A.P.D. No, it’s not a smoking gun in the form of forensic evidence that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that this person assassinated Biggie Smalls. Having seen “Last Man Standing,” I can testify that he does. ![]() And if Broomfield was returning to it, it seemed likely that he had something: more evidence, maybe a smoking gun. In the two decades since “Biggie & Tupac,” the investigation of these dual hip-hop homicides has become a kind of industry, propelled by books, nonfiction series, even dramatic features (like the recent “City of Lies,” starring Johnny Depp). So when I learned that Broomfield had made “Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac,” returning to this subject with a kind of dogged obsession, I approached the film with a ripe sense of anticipation. When Broomfield made his second Aileen Wuornos film, “Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer,” in 2003, it was a much greater documentary than the first, building on what he had done before. At the same time, the film flirted with a major conspiracy theory, suggesting that Suge Knight might have killed Tupac, his golden goose, to keep him from leaving Death Row. It was a movie that dove into key questions and pushed them further and further, all driven by Broomfield’s unshakable (and valid) conviction that the way these two murders actually went down mattered a great deal in the world at large. “Biggie & Tupac” didn’t present definitive evidence of anything, but it offered what was at the time a groundbreaking portrait of life at Death Row Records, the underworld music empire presided over by the gangsta entrepreneur Suge Knight. The movie arrived at a moment when Broomfield had begun to style himself as a kind of high-end tabloid detective, plumbing the mysteries behind such sensational stories as the rise of Heidi Fleiss (“Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam”), the suicide of Kurt Cobain (“Kurt & Courtney”), and the life and death of the serial killer Aileen Wuornos (Broomfield made not one but two films about her). It was 19 years ago that Nick Broomfield, that spiky and compelling one-man band of documentary filmmakers, released “Biggie & Tupac” (2002), his chilling, no-frills, down-the-mean-streets-of-Compton investigative look into the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. ![]() Using a radio receiver, the Forward Scout follows a trail of radio signals. With nothing but a simple raft, the Forward Scout sets out into the open ocean in search of a rumored "Utopia" where it is said there is still dry land to live on. The player takes on the role of a Forward Scout, a survivor who ventures out into the open sea in search of habitable land and resources. Eventually, the world's elite decided to abandon dry land altogether to live on floating cities, while the rest of the population are left to fend for themselves in a flooded world. Civilization collapsed as desperate plans to reverse the flooding failed or were abandoned. In the near future, climate change and rising temperatures have caused the polar ice caps to melt, flooding the entire planet and leaving almost no dry land to settle on. The notebook the player acquires at the start tracks story progression, with each major location visited marked with separate entries. On her journey, she discovers various locations, such as a crashed yacht, a large land-mass which seems to be a wildlife reserve, a shantytown built out of scrap metal, and a large dome-like structure floating in the ocean that served as a haven for civilization. With the help of a two-way radio, the player unveils the game's storyline, in which the world has been deserted, while the player character is searching for her husband and daughter. The player can also dive in coastal regions and collect special items. ![]() During the game, the raft may pass by islands which the player can explore to get special items and resources. The player also needs to manage basic needs like hunger and thirst by catching or growing food and purifying water to drink, but when growing food, the player must shelter the food they're growing due to sea gulls swooping down and eating the seeds. These can be used control and guide the raft, increase the size and stability of the raft, and defend the raft from the sharks. ![]() For example, tools, weapons and nets can be manufactured steering wheel can be made. Using a crafting system, the player can use the collected materials to assemble and research new items and to expand and improve the raft. These sharks will also occasionally attack corners of the raft, destroying parts of it. The player can also be attacked or killed by sharks that are always swimming around the raft. The player can leave the raft and collect things while swimming, but must be careful as the raft is always moving due to the continuous ocean current. The player starts only with a hook that they can aim and throw to catch barrels, wood, palm fronds, plastic, crates, and other objects out of the water. With the latter, the server is automatically provided by the game and the game takes place in co-op mode.Īfter a world is created, the player starts on a 2x2 raft in the middle of an ocean. The game is played from the first-person and third-person perspective and can be played either in the single-player or multiplayer mode.

Here are a few options for Yanwen tracking number formats to compare: ![]() An example of a Malaysian post number is YLCMY305883068. It can be tracked on the Russian Post website. For example, for Russia, a parcel may receive an RS493044510CN format number. Then it will be possible to track how the parcel goes through the territory of your country. This is rather an exception to the rule, but there is a chance. Although sometimes a new YW tracking number is published on the website of the company itself. After passing the border, the parcel gets another track number with no chance to track it. Please note that numbers with U at the beginning are tracked only within China (Yanwen Economic Air Mail tracking). Tracking is available on the company's website. Intelligent sorting helps speed up goods delivery etc.īasically, Yanwen track numbers are URxxxxxxxxxYP or UAxxxxxxxxxxYP, where x are numbers.Tax refund in case in case of entering the customs supervision hub, and global allocation (for production-oriented companies of e-commerce sector).9610 docking service and 9610 tax refund service to make cross-border exports more visible.The company also claims to have several additional services and products: Parcels receive completely different tracking numbers compared to the previous delivery method, and Yanwen Express tracking is available outside of China. Delivery costs are commensurably more expensive. Then it gets a new track number that is unknown. After that, tracking stops, because the package is transferred to the local postal service. Yanwen Economic Air Mail is tracked only until it is exported from China or before arriving in target country. Yanwen post track is available for each package at the company’s website. Air is the most popular way to deliver packages. It is cheap and at the same time relatively fast air delivery with a track number. Aliexpress sellers like to send small packages to Yanwen Economic Air Mail. Yanwen Economic Air Mail is a low-cost delivery option for small packages by Yanwen. ![]() The company has two key areas of activity: ![]() The main focus of the company for sellers and buyers is the delivery of goods. Yanwen is constantly developing the quality of services, expanding its infrastructure and striving to build a global electronic commerce network of a fundamentally new level. The company announces the use of advanced intelligent logistics equipment and its own unique operating system. In summary, this is one of the largest brands in China in its category. It guarantees a good proportion of cost and deliverance speed. This company is praised by wide range of sellers and buyers because of well-established and varied shipping methods. But some of your parcels are delivered by Yanwen almost certainly. If you buy something in Chinese online stores regularly, you probably often use our feature called China Post tracking since the majority of shipments are handled by China Post.
![]() The key to success here is to go slow and steady and spread the heat evenly. In this particular video, I played with only two colors,s and the reason for choosing them is because they are quite easy to get, and judging those colors during the heat is also very easy. But on the other way if you kept on doing that then you will surely overshoot the temperature and gets a different shade. Also if you want a pale straw color then make sure that before getting that color pause the heat for few seconds and the reason for doing this is that heat took some time to spread evenly inside steel, so if you wait for a while then the heat spread evenly and you didn't even need to apply more heat to the metal. Now point here to consider is that make sure to move the torch constantly through the process so that heat will not concentrate on a particular area. Steel has a very low thermal conductivity which means that if you heat a particular area it will not able to distribute heat to the surface evenly through the metal, which leads to irregular color grade. Now in the spectrum, there are a bunch of different colors and if you start heating them and constantly heating the surface then it starts to show you all the colors are shown in that chart.Īn important thing that needs to be considered here is the property of steel. Now if you take a look onto the heat chart then color up to 330° C is achievable and more than that starts to deteriorate the surface finish. Once the cleaning is done I made the setup and start the heating process. If you have any other method then definitely let me know. There are definitely many more chemical ways to do this colouring but they are a bit difficult to do. During this Instructables 3 different techniques, I am going to share and all of them include heat but different material to change the colour. Some of you might think that in stainless steel it deteriorates the top layer and stainless no longer remain protected but I didn't find any problems in that if the steel is 304 grade. Some of them can be kept permanent while most of the higher degree heat remain temporarily and once the metal cools down it converts to black, which we don't want. Now if you take a look at the steel heating chart before it gets to red heat, it passes through many different colours stages. Unless something has changed in the last couple of years any work sent to them has to go through an agent like Evolution Armory, you would need to contact one of them about the prep and what is needed. There are definitely a few things which you need to consider while doing this colouring technique which I am going to discuss in this instructable. There are lots of companies that do DLC, Ion Bond is the best known that coats guns. I am using this technique nowadays on many stainless projects and this technique definitely took them to a whole new level. Now, these colours are definitely not that much robust like painted surface or like anodizing but if you used them onto the place where constant rubbing action didn't take place over that area it's completely ideal. There seems to be some correlation between the electronic configuration of transition metal ions in the valency shell. The principle is very basic, when you heat the steel at a certain temperature it changes colour and that colour comes due to the reaction of the top layer with oxygen. The colour of the solution of the metal ions is listed below: Some of the transition metal ions give colourless solution in water, such as Sc3+, Ti4+, Cu+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+and Hg2+. Although it's not constrained to stainless steel, you can use this process on any type of steel and I found that hardened surface holds these colours much better. The thing I like about this is that it took the stainless-steel articles to a whole new level. For example, bromine, Br 2 \text CH 4 start text, C, H, end text, start subscript, 4, end subscript -oxygen, and nitrogen-which only have London dispersion forces of attraction between the molecules-freeze at very low temperatures.Hi guys this is my first experimental Instructables and I am not often doing this kind of stuff. The more electrons a molecule has, the stronger the London dispersion forces are. London dispersion forces, under the category of van der Waal forces: These are the weakest of the intermolecular forces and exist between all types of molecules, whether ionic or covalent-polar or nonpolar. ![]() Confirm that you want to block that person.On the side of the profile, click Block.You can block someone completely by doing the following: In my case, I’m permitting people in my circles to send me email right from my profile.

Many nuts and acorns are never retrieved, so they sprout in the spring, and develop into trees. On warm days throughout the winter when food is scarce the squirrel descends to the ground and digs up its treasures. Squirrels may cache thousands of nuts and acorns during a season. These holes are called caches (pronounces CASH-ez). In the fall often you see them digging small holes in the ground into which they deposit food, especially nuts and acorns. One reason squirrels come to the ground is to bury and retrieve food. well, just watch what they do when the neighbor's dog sees one on the ground! In a flash the squirrel will be up a tree!Īfter a rain, in muddy places, you might look for footprints of squirrels and chipmunks, as sketched below: SQUIRREL BEHAVIORĭespite their ability to escape, hawks attack them, snakes enter their nests and, in towns, domestic house cats catch enormous numbers of squirrels by waiting, waiting, waiting until a squirrel wanders along. Chipmunks, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, woodchucks, and marmots are seldom seen far from their burrows. Why are squirrels diurnal while most other mammals are strictly nocturnal - active during the night? A good guess is that members of this family are so good at escaping predator attacks that they just don't have to slink around in the night. This is rare among wild mammals! And it's fortunate for us backyard naturalists, for it makes squirrels relatively easy to watch. SQUIRRELS ARE DIURNALĪll members of the Squirrel Family, such as the California Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus beecheyi, at the left, but NOT the flying squirrels, are diurnal they're active during the day. Typically they live in burrows in the ground, especially in rocky areas and among tree roots. Though chipmunks can climb trees, they're more ground-oriented than tree squirrels. Tree squirrels don't have such pouches, though ground squirrels do. The chipmunk at the right has his pouches full of something, making him look like he has the mumps. One difference between tree squirrels and chipmunks is that chipmunks have internal cheek pouches in which they temporarily store food as they forage on the ground - using them like pockets. In most of Eastern North America the only chipmunk species seen is the Eastern. CHIIPMUNKSĮven more species of chipmunks exist than squirrels, and once again most species occur in the western states and provinces, and most are found in the mountains.Ī Field Guide to the Mammals recognizes the following North American chipmunk species: This golden-mantled Squirrel was photographed by Diana Adams inside a large tent full of humans attending a camp meeting in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Golden-mantled Squirrel at the right, Callospermophilus lateralis, is a member of the Squirrel Family, but the Ground Squirrel Subfamily, the Xerinae, along with groundhogs, marmots and prairie dogs. Just because a mammal is called a squirrel doesn't mean that it's a tree squirrel. ![]() ![]() Other tree squirrel species are more restricted to wild areas, though some have learned to beg from campers and picnickers in parks. In California, western Oregon, and west-central Washington, it's the Western Gray. and adjacent Canada the common "park squirrel" is the Eastern Gray Squirrel. Burt & Grossenheider's A Field Guide to the Mammals recognizes the following North American tree-squirrel species: Often the squirrels inhabiting our backyard trees are called "tree squirrels," in order to not confuse them with other squirrel types. Inside the rodent order, the Squirrel Family, the Sciuridae, is a big family holding not only squirrels and chipmunks but also ground squirrels, prairie dogs, woodchucks, and marmots. The vast majority of rodents also have four toes on each front foot, and five on each hind foot. These back teeth, or "cheek" teeth, are adapted for grinding. Immediately behind all rodent incisors there's an empty space, and then come flattish back teeth. This can be seen in the picture below of the lower jawbone of a chipmunk. In the front of all rodent mouths, including those of squirrels and chipmunks, there are four chisel-like gnawing-teeth called incisors, two above and two below. Thus squirrels are rodents.Ī feature uniting squirrels and chipmunks with rats and mice is their teeth. Squirrels, such as the Eastern Gray Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis, at the right, as well as chipmunks, mice and rats, all belong to the order Rodentia. |
