Wurm unlimited map painter1/22/2024 Face shots will now take head armour as the armour value.If you have 500 iron lumps, but only want to transfer 430, enter the number in the text field. The action is triggered by dragging a bulk item from one bulk container to another, you will have the regular bulk item transfer options (default numbers up to 50), MAX, or entering a number in the text field at the top.Multiple actions of transferring can be queued.The action ‘ticks’ once every second, so it’s not a long wait.Take note that the carry weight respects how much you’re currently carrying in your inventory.If you can carry (the weight of) 2000, you’ll transfer 2000 at a time. If you can carry 20, you’ll move 20 at a time. Amount transferred is depending on your strength in relation to the weight of the item type you’re transferring.To remove a mine door you must be the owner, or have the manage item permission.Mine doors can now be removed with the use of a crowbar.If top border is uneven the new textures will show, but opening animation will not.The top border will need to be flat in order to have opening animation.If the border is shared with a fence or house it will remain uneven.Placing a mine door will now level the upper border of the mine entrance to the lowest side.New: Mine door graphics have been improved and mine door animation has been added.New: In addition to renaming the shelves in the Bulk Storage container unit, you can now also rename the shelves of the larder and the large storage unit.You can also pave bridge parts when they are part of a highway, also can be repaved once paved.Permissions are required to do this on deed and in perimeters.NOTE over 20 body strength will be necessary for this.New: You can now re-pave a highway tile without having to destroy catseyes and waystones and disrupting the valid highway.Added "May plant" permission to village roles.Resulting items have a chance to be created with multiple runes or random enchants.Fragments can then be combined with fragments of the same item until the complete item is made.Using the correct tool to identify will increase the amount of weight lost each action.Once the fragment weight is equal to the weight of the fragmented item, the fragment will become a fragment of the item.Each identify action will reduce the weight of the fragment.Unidentified fragments will need to be identified with the use of a chisel or metal brush.Investigating on old disbanded settlements has a chance to yield unique items.Players can now investigate tiles with a trowel to find fragments of items.New: Archaeology and Restoration skills have been added.

Coach k press conference1/22/2024 (Connecticut coach) Kevin Ollie has an advantage recruiting because he won. It’s like if someone wins a national championship. The fact that you win and if you gain an advantage from that, then so be it. In other words, you can lose, and there’s time you give up. The notoriety you get from that, there’s a risk to that. “Anybody who wins, or if someone writes a great book or article, somebody wins a championship - they have an advantage. “Everybody can have an opinion on that,” Krzyzewski said in the press conference on Thursday. North Carolina's top prospects are Caleb Love and Armando Bacot, though both are currently considered second-round prospects for the NBA draft if they choose to enter.With recent criticism lobbed at him about unfair recruiting advantages because of his time with USA Basketball, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski took his press conference in Durham on Thursday as a chance to respond to the critics.Īfter Yahoo Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski wrote a column about USA Basketball, and Coach K using his coaching tenure as a platform to help recruit elite high school players thanks to unique access and positive relationships with the best basketball players in the world like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant, the veteran Duke head coach spend much of the press conference talking about points made in the column, according to Nicole Auerbach of USA Today. The other four have all come with the Blue Devils seeded first.ĭuke's Paolo Banchero, AJ Griffin and Mark Williams will almost certainly be in the NBA next year. In 1991, Krzyzewski won his first national title as a 2 seed. 2 seed in the tournament for the 13th time. Only one has won it all: Rollie Massimino's 1985 Villanova squad.ĭuke is a No. (50-47 not counting the two games Krzyzewski missed when he missed 1995 for back surgery.) Since Coach K arrived at Duke in 1980, the Blue Devils are 50-49. "If you're Carolina and you won Coach K's last game at Cameron, and then you won the game to end his career," Durham said, "I could see how that might linger a bit." But given the stakes, the setting and the people and history involved, there won't be anything quite like this again. 257 - was the most consequential game the teams had played in a rivalry that dates to 1920. There are those who had argued that that meeting - meeting No. Instead, a lasting memory of the day was Krzyzewski taking the mic after the 94-81 loss, apologizing and calling the entire performance "unacceptable." It was supposed to be a celebration of a lifetime of coaching. The teams meet exactly four weeks after North Carolina walked into Cameron Indoor Stadium and put a beatdown on Duke in Coach K's final home game. Redick walked back the joke the next day, saying it was all in good fun.īottom line is, these are two great schools with two great basketball programs, each of which has the power to make the other's life much less pleasant at any given moment. Any opponent in such a high-stakes meeting is, by definition, an opponent demanding a team's full attention. A national semifinal being played on the floor of the Superdome is a massive enough moment in and of itself. The coaches and players are doing their best to play this straight. "There are others who just say, 'This is the biggest stage this rivalry has seen, but it doesn't automatically mean whoever wins has leverage over the loser forever.' Only time will tell." "There are some portions of both fan bases that are scared to death to see this game for fear of losing it," said Wes Durham, the longtime play-by-play announcer who also hosts an ACC-themed sports talk show. That it's happening in the 47th and final year of Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's record-setting career, and that North Carolina could put an official end to that career, only adds to the tension. Tar Heels in the Final Four, the first time that's ever happened. On Saturday comes the 258th and most titanic meeting of them all - Blue Devils vs. The most important industry in the 11-mile stretch of real estate between North Carolina's two cathedrals of hoops, the Smith Center in Chapel Hill and Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, is basketball.įor decades, a win, or loss, in any given matchup between Duke and North Carolina has had the power to shape the next week, or month, or year, for the thousands of fans who wear different shades of blue, and bring two different worldviews to one of the most intense rivalries in sports. NEW ORLEANS - The name "Tobacco Road" misses the point.

Ira qualified education expenses1/22/2024 That means you need to have at least 4,000 of expenses to qualify for the maximum deduction. The maximum annual AOTC is 2,500 per student, which is calculated as 100 of your first 2,000 of qualified expenses and then 25 of your next 2,000 expenses. Fidelity can’t answer these and suggest a tax pro but I can’t afford a tax pro, they would cost me more than the penalties. For starters, 529 funds can be used tax-free to pay for eligible higher education expenses such as tuition and fees, books, supplies for school, and computers and internet access required for college. Qualified higher education expenses include costs required for the enrollment or attendance at a college, university or other eligible post-secondary educational institution. You can include these expenses even if you didn’t pay them directly to the school. Qualified education expenses for IRA withdrawal are the amounts paid for tuition, books, education-related supplies and equipment, as well as room and board. Withdraw to pay for current year expenses… does that mean I can only withdraw enough NOW for the fall semester and will have to take another withdrawal for Spring semester in January to get me through 2024?Īre qualified expenses considered only what is left needing funding after I receive loans and grants? (Based on the financial package provided from the college regarding room and board, tuition, etc) Should I withdraw and have taxes taken out at that time or pay them later with my tax filing? Which way would avoid the penalty? How and when does the IRS ask for proof of qualifying expenses? At tax time? At withdrawal time? Do I have to mail them some kind of proof or do they see it somewhere? Here, please treat others with respect, stay on-topic, and avoid self-promotion.Īlways do your own research before acting on any information or advice that you read on Reddit.Īll info online is the about the rules of early IRA withdrawal for educational expenses but I can’t find functional info and am asking for answers. 8815 Exclusion of Interest From Series EE and I U.S. Get your financial house in order, learn how to better manage your money, and invest for your future. 5329 Additional Taxes on Qualified Plans (Including IRAs) and Other Tax-Favored Accounts.

Amazon birds of prey comic1/22/2024 With the 2016 company-wide soft relaunch DC Rebirth, the Birds of Prey are re-introduced in the new title Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, featuring a team consisting of Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress.ĭespite the title of the series being Birds of Prey, the phrase was not mentioned in the book until issue #86, when one of the group's members, Zinda Blake, suggests that it might be a fitting name for the team, but other characters get sidetracked and do not respond to her suggestion. In 2011, the title was relaunched under writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Jesus Saiz. Artists have included Butch Guice, Greg Land, Ed Benes and Joe Bennett Nicola Scott began a stint as artist with issue #100. Sean McKeever was originally to replace Simone, but McKeever subsequently decided to leave the project and only wrote issues #113–117 Tony Bedard, who wrote issues #109–112, briefly took over the title at issue #118. Gail Simone scripted the comic from issue #56 to #108. Gorfinkel and originally written by Chuck Dixon. The group is initially based in Gotham City and later operates in Metropolis and then relocates once more to "Platinum Flats", California, a new locale introduced in Birds of Prey in 2008. The team name "Birds of Prey" was attributed to DC assistant editor Frank Pittarese in the text page of the first issue. The book's premise originated as a partnership between Black Canary and Barbara Gordon, who had adopted the codename Oracle at the time, but has expanded to include additional superheroines. GeekDad received this comic for review purposes.The Birds of Prey is a superhero team featured in several American comic book series, miniseries, and special editions published by DC Comics since 1996. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week. Another fantastic issue from DC’s best new book. An attempt by Green Arrow in man’s world to delay her from making it back to Themyscira goes horribly and hilariously awry in a scene that will remind all of Thompson’s fans very much of how she wrote “Hawkguy.” But Thompson also does an amazing job of reminding us of just how powerful and intimidating Diana is-and how dangerous she is when she gets angry. And of course, there’s one more obstacle in the way of this mission-Wonder Woman. A mysterious and deadly creature is waiting in the wings, ready to possess Sin-and if it succeeds, it won’t just kill her but could kill the world. While the first issue made it seem like Sin was in immediate danger, this issue shows otherwise-she’s not a prisoner and seems to be enjoying her time on the island, but something is brewing under the surface. Via DC Comics.īut they’re up against a full island of the most powerful woman warriors in the world, and it’s all over one girl. One of the most interesting things about this series is the way that every character is almost a mystery in themselves-they were each picked for a specific reason, some more obvious than others, and we’re finding out why as they’re needed. From there, it’s Zealot’s turn to shine, with a surprising spell that allows her to cut loose without losing any of her skill. This version of Shark is very funny, heavily inspired by the popular version from the Harley Quinn cartoon, and he gets them there fine-albeit a lot messier. After last issue’s crazy search for magical artifacts, it’s finally time for the Birds to make their advance on Themyscira-via a ride in the belly of a Megalodon, thanks to King Shark. Ray: No surprise, only three issues in this is quickly becoming the most wildly entertaining book in DC’s lineup-a never-ending chaotic series of action segments, espionage, and character interactions that mix like a fine recipe. Birds of Prey #3 – Kelly Thompson, Writer Leonardo Romero, Artist Jordie Bellaire, Colorist Ray – 9.5/10

Strategy for playing scorpion solitaire1/22/2024 When playing from the pool, make sure you don't play a multiple of 3 cards on any given "pass" through the deck. For example, if I could put the 5 of diamonds up top, I might hold off unless I know where both black 4's are, so I have somewhere to put one if I find it. If you have all 4 kings, it doesn't matter.ĭon't put cards up top until there's nothing else you could put on top of them. 7Spades on one pile, 7Clubs on the other) and you don't have all 4 kings yet, take from the pile with fewer cards so you can get an open column faster. If you have two possible piles with matching cards to move (i.e. Here are a few tips I have from playing all too much solitaire with real cards while waiting for work: If there are official names for these please let me know. Please excuse my careless definitions of the elements in the game. I am playing the standard timed version which comes with Windows 7 (Microsoft Solitaire) I usually only right-click if there are several cards that can go to their respective "suit-decks" (or if I know that the click will allow me to win, which I call a finishing move) I have only changed the appearance of the cards once (might be psychologically affecting my game?) I normally always try to play as much as I can in the "pool" before drawing cards from the deck Here are some things that you might want to take into consideration when giving your advice: What makes the game so great is that players can focus on styles that truly reflect their own characteristics. I'm not hating on any particular approach to Solitaire. Keep in mind that I don't play for high score or time. I feel like I might have picked up on some bad habits (from doing other things while playing), which in turn has affected my win rate. So I have played a little over 5000 games of Solitaire, but only about 9% of these are actually victories. Only three redditors have it currently and it should be considered a very high honor.

Notable definition crossword1/21/2024 2023 County and academic leaders echoed Cowan’s concern - and none were surprised by fentanyl’s growing influence on drug deaths. Emily Tamkin, Smithsonian Magazine, 14 Dec. to the wider world, says Michael Berenbaum, a scholar who previously served as the project director tasked with overseeing USHMM’s creation. 2023 The film’s influence extended beyond the U.S. 2023 That’s why Heather’s influence spreads like cherry jam, slipping past TikTok’s borders and across online life. Noun Hermes dug deep into Reed’s past - interviewing family members, childhood friends, college classmates and others - but the real value here is in his critical insights on the artist’s work and its influence. As a verb, influence typically means "to affect or change someone or something in an indirect but usually important way." Something or someone that influences a person or thing, then, has an influence on that person or thing. The noun had been in use for more than 200 years before the verb use developed. Influence can also refer to a person or thing that affects someone or something in an important way. In modern use, the noun typically refers to the power to change or affect someone or something-especially the power to cause changes without directly forcing those changes to happen. It was for a time believed that epidemics were caused by unusual conjunctions of the planets.) (The word influenza has the same origin: the Medieval Latin word influentia. As this fluid reached the Earth, it supposedly affected the actions of the planet's inhabitants-especially the human ones. The word first referred to a celestial fluid that was believed to flow from the stars. Influence may seem like a ho-hum word, but its history is heavenly.

Analog write1/21/2024 However, the crucial thing to note here is that not all the pins of an Arduino Uno are capable of generating a PWM signal. For example, if we wish to generate a PWM signal to vary the speed of a DC motor with our Arduino Uno, we can use the analogWrite(pin, value) function of Arduino. We can generate a PWM signal with popular microcontroller boards like the Arduino Uno just by typing out a couple of lines in our code! The PWM circuitry present on microcontrollers uses timers in the backend but they are internally connected with the pins to make our job easier. But the easiest way to see a PWM in action is by using a microcontroller. We can use a 555 Timer IC or even a comparator circuit to generate one. There are various ways to generate a PWM signal. An important thing to note here is that continuous switching of the fan will make it draw a large amount of current, so again, we discourage you from doing this in real life. Using this delay to our advantage, we can switch it on or off, making it faster or slower, to get the speed we want. Switch it on again as it starts to slow down. Turn on the switch, wait until you see that the fan has achieved 50% of the speed, and turn off the switch. We know that the fan will not instantly achieve the max speed the moment we turn it on and neither will it immediately come to a halt as we turn it off. While we don’t recommend actually doing this, you can achieve it by playing a little with the switch of the ceiling fan. Is it possible without a speed regulator? Give this question a thought. Now, what if I ask you to run the fan at 50% of its max speed. So you can either turn it on and it’ll gradually achieve max speed, or you can turn it off. Imagine you have a ceiling fan in your home but without any speed regulator. We can generate a varied range of speeds (analog) for our motors and actuators even though in reality we are just switching between the two possible states of being on and off (digital). Keeping it “on” for a duration more than the “off” duration will raise the average power level and doing it the opposite way will reduce the average power level. You can rapidly switch the power supply on and off in a pattern to control the current delivered to the device. The animation given below shows Proteus simulation for variable duty cycle PWM signal from Arduino pin D10.With electrical components, you can control the current delivered to them, even if the only control you have is switching the power supply on and off. PinMode(A0,INPUT) /* ser pin A0 as a input pin */ PinMode(pwm_pin,OUTPUT) /* set pin 10 as a output pin */ *two interger type variables to store digital value and duty cycle value */ This code generates 0-100% variable duty cycle with the default frequency of D10 pin of Arduino. Also, connect an oscilloscope to D10 of Arduino.Ī=analogRead(A0) /* take analog sample from A0 and store result in variable 'a'*/ī= map(a,0,1023,0,255) /* map the digital value to duty cycle range 0-255 */ĪnalogWrite(pwm_pin,b) /* generate pwm signal on pin10 with duty cycle value of b */ Make connections with Arduino and POT according to this schematic diagram. In other words, we will map the digital value measured with analogRead() function into duty cycle. To control duty cycle, we will use a potentiometer with analog channel zero of Arduino. We will use D10 pin of Arduino to get output signal. In this section, we will learn to generate variable duty cycle PWM. } Proteus Simulation Output Variable Duty Cycle PWM Arduino TCCR1B=_BV(WGM13)|_BV(CS11) /* Activate PWM Phase, frequency correction Mode */įloat frequency=0 /* initially set frequency to zero */ TCCR1A=_BV(COM1A1)|_BV(COM1B1) /* set Fast PWM Mode */ PinMode(outputpin, OUTPUT) /* set as a output put */ * Perform initialization and declarations inside setup() */ void loop()Ĭomplete Code int outputpin=9 /* Assign symbolic name outputpin to D9 PWM pin of Arduino */ The value of frequency gets updated on the PWM pin after every one second. The potentiometer which connects with analog channel zero (A0) of Arduino is used to control set the frequency of the PWM signal. 0.0113 is a factor that restricts the count variable in the range of 10000 to 100000 which results in a frequency range of 10 Hz to 100Hz. Similarly, analogRead() functions reads 0 when voltage is 0V. The analogRead() function reads 1023 when voltage is 5V at the analog pin. Inside the loop() function, the value of OCR1A is being calculated stepwise according to the required frequency formula given above. |
