![]() ![]() “I can’t even imagine how amazing that would be”. “I’m really hoping it works,” says Mooney. The next step will be to test whether the technique can be used to induce visual images in people with aphantasia. The team has also found that applying an electric current to the scalp seems to increase the strength of mental imagery in people without aphantasia. To do this they seem to use compensatory mechanisms, like imagining how the shape would feel if they turned it in their hands. One finding of Pearson’s team is that people with aphantasia often have good spatial imagery: they can rotate shapes in their minds, even though they can’t visualise them. “Sometimes when I’m just about to fall asleep, I almost catch an image, but as soon as I realise, it fades away.” “But when I wake up, I can’t recall the images, just the details,” he says. “I dream in incredible detail,” says Mooney. Others have reported hallucinations when they take psychoactive drugs. Read more: People with no mind’s eye may help us boost our creativityīecause some people with aphantasia do experience dreams, the researchers believe that different brain areas control voluntary and involuntary mental imagery. Mooney has become involved in research by Joel Pearson at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, who is investigating how mental imagery works by studying people with aphantasia. “Now that I know I’m missing out, I want to know what it’s like to have a mind’s eye.” Nevertheless, since learning of his condition, Mooney has been searching for a cure. You can choose from a variety of Markup tools and colors and draw straight lines. “If you ask me to imagine a plane crash, it doesn’t really affect me, because I can’t see it happening,” he says. Use the Notes app to draw a sketch or jot a handwritten note with your finger. He believes this is because he struggles to imagine bad things happening in the future or relive negative experiences from the past. On the plus side, Mooney rarely feels anxious. “Floor numbers were made for people like me,” he says. The revelation helped to explain his poor sense of direction and tendency to forget where he had parked his car. “I asked all my friends, ‘can you see stuff in your minds?’ and they said ‘yes’. Mooney didn’t realise there was anything unusual about him, until he read about a study of people with aphantasia in 2015. ![]()

![]() Locked chests can be and off the top of my head I can only remember it actually being useful to me once when I went back and soloed an old raid with a chest at the end that must be picked. Archaeologist's Automated Antiquity Analyzer - You must be able to target the item (as in, literally see it on your target window) for it to work, which means doors aren't able to be picked by it. There is a 'lockpicking' clicky in the CotF expansion, but it's functionally useless in the context you want it. Being so situational, I would just have a situational solution for it, not permanent (unless of course that makes the game more fun for you). There just isn't a lot of long term use for lockpick anymore. So who would you all replace? And would you replace with bard or rogue? Or do you have a better idea that I haven't thought of?īard's are pretty much a welcome addition to any group, so it's hard to go wrong with that, but I'm pretty much entirely on board with Knightly. Wizard - always out of mana, but also one of my best dps classes, so replacing wizard with a melee dps seems like it would be a wash Mage - giving up coth is not something I am willing to do at this time Here are my thoughts on replacing each one outside of the SK or CLR:Įnchanter - this class was my original class back when I first started the game, and I am rather attached to it.ĭruid - dps and back up heals, seems like the most logical to replace, but I worry that my cleric won't be able to keep up with solo heals as I progress closer to current content It would be very convenient to just have lockpick anytime/anywhere, and it would be a nice boost for the rest of the group to have a higher level character with them. But then I thought it would be a waste to use a heroic token on a character I would never use, so maybe I should try to replace one of my current characters with it. Naturally my first thought was I need an alt with lockpicking to log in for situations like this, but I don't know if I want to take the time to PL one to the required level, so I thought maybe I will use one of my heroic characters for it (I have one available on each account). I sat there for probably 20 minutes scouring the internet for a way to get around the door, but was unsuccessful. Last night I went to Chardok, killed the prince for the enchanter, and then found out that you can't cheese the door to the overking anymore. I have been having a blast, going to old zones in kunark and velious, working on coldain prayer shawls and epics. They are level 66-67 and consist of: SK, CLR, ENC, DRU, MAG, WIZ.

For owners of REAKTOR 6, this elegant collection of User Blocks offers controllable, dynamic and randomisable real-time generation of (extremely listenable) dust, crackle and white noise. After installing KOMPLETE, you will notice that some of the included products are not listed in your DAWs plug-in list. This means they use normal water as both a coolant and neutron moderator. After the wildly successful REAKTOR SPARK and its free follow-up CHA-OSC, REAKTOR PRISM draws on these technologies while pushing the envelope of synthesizer design once again. Highly unpredictable, this instrument delivers an edge to your productions that no other synth can. Part sampler, part synth, SKANNER XT offers a broad range of sounds - from big and nasty basses to celestial pads and intriguing, morphing soundscapes. Types of Light-water Reactors in the United StatesĪll commercial nuclear reactors in the United States are light-water reactors. REAKTOR PRISM is the latest brainchild of Stephan Schmitt, founder of Native Instruments and the creator of REAKTOR. SKANNER XT is a raucous and exciting synth from the creator of REAKTOR. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam, which spins a turbine to produce carbon-free electricity. ![]() The moderator helps slow down the neutrons produced by fission to sustain the chain reaction.Ĭontrol rods can then be inserted into the reactor core to reduce the reaction rate or withdrawn to increase it. Inside the reactor vessel, the fuel rods are immersed in water which acts as both a coolant and moderator. ![]() A reactor core is typically made up of a couple hundred assemblies, depending on power level. Typically, more than 200 of these rods are bundled together to form a fuel assembly. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together into sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. ![]() ![]() ![]() Adobe is so confident in its product that it’s even throwing in a free 7-day trial.Ĭlick on Photoshop and you will know more.Īlso read: 10 Popular Video Game Characters Recreated as Pencil Sketches.

The hilar consist of the main pulmonary vasculature and the major bronchi.Įach hilar also has a collection of lymph nodes which aren’t usually visible in healthy individuals.

The right main bronchus is generally wider, shorter and more vertical than the left main bronchus. The carina is an important landmark when assessing nasogastric (NG) tube placement, as the NG tube should bisect the carina if it is correctly placed in the gastrointestinal tract. On appropriately exposed chest X-ray, this division should be clearly visible. The carina is cartilage situated at the point at which the trachea divides into the left and right main bronchus.

A plus with Mirillis and LiteCam is that they can offload processing to the graphics card - therefore less CPU impact. My VoiceMeeter setup video: PS: I tried the Mirillis Action trial and was impressed, but a sale at the time took me the LiteCam Game 100fps route. Just a ramble that might garner some thoughts. I see a lot of the editing software can do this stuff but not sure to what extent. ![]() = PS: I actually want to make a little animated text graphic/logo/intro for my stuff that kind of starts out centered/jumping out at the viewer then it scurries off into a corner as a watermark. Gonna have to get another hardrive for storage too but I've needed to do that for a while anyway. I would probably spend way too much time testing all these programs instead of using one (or two) recording things I'm doing in Sonar. Nice entry to the Camtasia universe I guess but I've gotta settle in on a cheap free one and get on with it. I was going to go the Jing/Snagit route but yeah. Haven't researched it much but it's another free one. AktivePresenter (or something like that). There's another one that seems to be rather popular. When asked, lie and say Sonar is a game :-) I've tried the following: If you are on Windows 10 it includes a built-in screen recorder that has good quality sound and a high frame rate. DRanck +1 on VoiceMeeter, needed to record ASIO. I had a copy on disc somewhere but gawd knows where that went. I figured it would be there ready and waiting but Adobe apparently yanked it and I stupidly did not download it when I had the chance. I am kind of upset that Adobe Premiere 2 is no longer being offered as a free download. Looks like there are some pretty good freeware/donationware ones. Also been poking about at some of the video editors. I don't think anyone is going to expect Hollywood level production values out of me at first (but I can at least go for Bollywood quality. I will likely still get Mirillis at some point because it does seem to produce some better results but I'm just starting out anyway. It will also give me a chance to test out Voicemeeter with various audio programs on my laptop. It does not seem to be quite up to the level of Mirillis but it will do the trick for now and of course that extra $40 can go toward other stuff. I was checking out some info this morning on it and if the free/licensed version strips out the watermark (and it isn't crammed with bullpuckey spyware/malware/adware which I have not seen any reports of) that's great. Wow! Just in your price range beep.Īwesome. We'll see if I still like it as much after using it on a real project. Win 10 Game Recorder - Free, works great, high fpsWith all the experimenting I did, I somehow missed Mirillis! I'll use the Win 10 tool soon on a video.They also have liteCAM Game which has a 100 fps limit. LiteCAM HD - Works well, 30 fps limit.Corel Screen Recorder - Works great, 30 fps limit (enough for Sonar), incl.MS Expression - Free, works great, but a bit of a pain since you have to do a second step to encode the video.CamStudio - Free, latest version appears to have malware, deleted from system.+1 on VoiceMeeter, needed to record ASIO. PS: I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum BUT there is a very heavy Sonar component here as in I need to know if it is going to work with Sonar AND this will lead to (hopefully) some nice beginner tuts and tours of Sonar if I can figure it out. I'd really rather have Camtasia but Mirillis is like $40 and Camtasia is $300. Will I be able to use ASIO mode in Sonar for playback, recording, etc while still being able to record a voice over into the video program or will I be forced to use one of the other driver modes? Maybe there is some kind of workaround? Just want to start trying to understand this type of stuff before I actually have the software so I'm not stuck in front of the computer with a thumb up my butt yelling at clouds. ![]() b) I've tried to wrap my head around this before but could never figure it all out. a) if anyone is using Mirillis to record Sonar could they maybe give an opinion on it? If it can record newfangled video games in high quality I figure it should do pretty well with Sonar. so recording stuff like Sonar which is what I'd be using it for). I've recently discovered a highly rated program for recording video games (as well as regular desktop vids. One of which is screen capture software that I've needed for a loooon time. I'm on the verge of making a few necessary purchases. Anyone use Mirillis Action for screen recording Sonar? Will I be able to use ASIO? ![]() ![]() ![]() The heroine's transformation into someone who finds her own style and speaks her own mind is believable - and worthy of applause". Brabander of Horn Book Magazine also lauded the novel, saying, "Mackler does a fine job introducing girls to a very cool chick with a little meat on her bones." A Publishers Weekly review says, "The e-mails she exchanges with Shannon, and the lists she makes (e.g., "The Fat Girl Code of Conduct") add both realism and insight to her character. One Reviewer noted that the "pacing is excellent and Mackler perfectly conveys the nuances of teen insecurity in all its painfully glory." However, the same critic also stated, "The author tries to deal with too many issues and ends up giving many of them short shift." Kirkus reviews, LLC calls the novel "easy read with substance and spirit," "eminently accessible," and "sexuality, refreshingly, is treated as a good thing." Yet there are still more positive comments such as this book has a "superior plotline" and some "fascinating words." Gail Richmond of The School Library Journal gave the novel a positive review: "Told through first-person narrative, journal entries, and e-mail, Virginia's story will interest readers who are looking for one more book with teen angst, a bit of romance, and a kid who is a bit like them or their friends." Jennifer M. One critic believed a possible theme could be "though you are a larger size, it doesn't mean that you don't have a heart." Another colleague said, "Her gradually evolving ability to stand up to her family is hard one and not always believable, but it provides a hopeful ending for those trying to stand on their own two feet."
