Beaming to earth a surrealist swirl of sweaty celebrity cameos and off-the-wall characters through the gauze of a ’90s public-access infomercial fever dream, the groundbreaking sketch show was once described fondly by its creators as “ the nightmare version of television.” Alongside early collaborator Eric Wareheim, the duo’s Adult Swim breakout Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!was the absurdist backdrop to many stoned dorm-room late nights for a generation of weirdos during its original run in the late-2000s.

They also offer a powerful abstraction, which is often exactly what you want in complicated systems.Ĭonsider the following class structure: Item In the right situation, this means that they can be much more versatile and efficient than their counterparts. If you know what MonoBehaviour is, I’m sure ScriptableObject will be no stretch.Ĭlasses that inherit from ScriptableObject are essentially MonoBehaviour classes with the exception that they don’t need to be attached to game objects. Consequently, they seem to have a kind of air around them that suggests they’re complicated and difficult to understand, when the opposite is true. These things are severely underrepresented in the Unity documentation and examples. Why Scriptable Objects?ĭon’t be alarmed if you haven’t even heard of scriptable objects in Unity until now. So my goal here is to try and collate the information and experience I gathered when writing our inventory system. The majority of material I found online 1 2 3 4… really doesn’t explain much more than some tips on getting started, or misses these marks. Something that might surprise you is that there is actually a lack of content on making easy to use inventory systems in Unity.Īnd I think that these points are quite significant, particularly the first, because it ties everything else together. Making a Painless Inventory System with Scriptable Objects in Unity Prior to the UK's exit from the EU, the UK regularly updated Eurostat with its environmental-economic accounts data. This makes them particularly useful for integrated environmental-economic analyses and modelling, for example measuring emissions by industry and climate-change modelling scenarios.Įurostat collect the accounts from every EU member state as part of its regulations (see Annex I of Regulation 691/2011). These are aligned with each country's economic statistics, such as gross domestic product (GDP). These provide detailed breakdowns for emitting industries as well as households, as defined in the national accounts of the UK and EU member states. These air emissions accounts are part of the Environmental-Economic Accounts. Eurostat, the European statistical agency, records environment accounts for EU member states. This covers seven climate change-contributing greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO 2), and seven air pollutants. The UK Environmental Accounts records flows of gaseous and particulate materials emitted into the atmosphere as a result of economic activity from the UK. The Netherlands imported the most fossil fuels in 2020 on a per head basis among the EU14, while the UK imported less than any EU14 country.Įnvironmental tax revenue as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) was around 2.5% in the UK, Italy, France and the Netherlands in 2020. Germany is the largest extractor of fossil fuels in the EU14, both in total and on a population-adjusted basis. Over the last decade, carbon dioxide emissions have declined in both the UK and the five highest emitters among EU14 countries. The UK is the second highest overall emitter of both greenhouse gas (GHGs) and carbon dioxide (CO 2), a key GHG, compared with EU14 countries, after Germany.Īdjusted for population size, Luxembourg is the highest overall emitter of GHG and CO 2 among the EU14, with the UK emitting around the same as Italy, which is the tenth-highest emitter among the EU14.

It is not always located on the floor you are currently on, so you might have to go up or down floors to find it. You then can go and find the runesphere on that floor at your world. Additionally, a runesphere icon appears at the top left of the screen, saying when hovered "Runesphere Active on the Bottom/Middle/Top Floor! (Phase)". When a runesphere appears, a message in the chatbox is given to those inside Runespan, A runesphere has spawned on the Bottom/Middle/Top Floor!. If it spawns on the top floor, its best spawn is Soul phase, middle floor Law phase and bottom floor Body phase. The spawn phase is dependent on the floor level. Normally they spawn on each world at the same time, but not necessarily the same floor, phase, and location. The spawn time between runespheres is about 2 hours 30 minutes and 50 seconds (9050 seconds) apart. It will disappear after 1 hour and 20 seconds (3620 seconds) have passed from its spawn. Assuming the runesphere starts on the soul layer, it will last for approximately 38 minutes and 37 seconds (2317 seconds) before reverting to its core. The runesphere will slowly lose layers regardless of whether or not anyone has siphoned it. Players will still be able to get Runecrafting experience from siphoning runespheres if they own the maximum amount of rune dust. Players cannot own more than 1,000 rune dust at a time. A maximum of 1,000 rune dust can be handed in each day, making the maximum amount of experience able to be obtained from the pure energy each day 25,000 experience. Players can hand in rune dust to the pure energy, resulting in 25 Runecrafting experience per energy. When all the layers of the runesphere have been siphoned off, a ball of pure energy will be revealed. Each successful siphon will reward the player between 1-6 rune dust, depending on the type of rune layer the runesphere is on. Siphoning the runesphere requires rune essence. The runesphere is an object and D&D that appears in the Runespan that can be siphoned for runes, and rune dust, and Runecrafting experience. Johnsville, and other towns along the Mohawk River. Troy, Watervliet, and Green Island on the Hudson River and at Schenectady, Fonda, Amsterdam, St. Large areas were overflowed in the most populous and built-up districts at Albany. The amount varied in different localities from 2 and 2.2 inches at Albany to 5 inches or more in the southern Adirondack slope. The average rainfall throughout eastern New York from the morning of March 24 to the morning of March 28 was about 4 inches. Streams in eastern New York reached their highest stages early on the morning of March 28. Heavy rains which were general throughout the state on March 25, 26, and 27 caused floods of unusual magnitude on nearly all streams in New York. Horton, consulting hydraulic engineer, Albany, NY: There was also a considerable loss through the scarcity of help and the comparatively short time allowed for the moving of such a large amount of goods.įrom excerpted report of Robert E. When warned they would say that the firm had been in business in that section or store for 50, 75, or 100 years and that their building had never been flooded before except when there was an ice gorge that they thought this office must be mistaken, and that they did not believe it was possible for the water to reach a height of 21 feet or more without the help of an ice gorge. The greatest loss from the flood was occasioned by persons who, though doing business near the river, were unable to believe that their property would be flooded. Todd, local forecaster at Albany, NY Weather Bureau: Henry, Professor of Meteorology, published Decemby the Government Printing Office also provided some insight to the flood impacts seen in the Capital Region of New York, as enumerated below.įrom the report of George T. Mr Fitzgerald estimated between 2,600 and 2,700 families and at least 350 retail establishments in Troy were directly affected by the flooding.Įxcerpts from The Floods of 1913 in the rivers of the Ohio and lower Mississippi valleys, US Weather Bureau Bulletin Z by Alfred J. I guess whatever trouble mankind has, we had up there.” The lighting proposition was out of order, and no trolley cars. Of course we had no light there in the city for several days. They had their hose wagons and the firemen had to dive down to the fire plugs to attach the hose. “I know during the flood we had three or four fires there that the only way they could get apparatus to was through the flooded streets. “Many people figured that it was like other freshets we had and there wouldn't be any necessity of leaving their homes, so they stuck to their homes, so we went through the flooded districts with boats and distributed milk and supplies where we knew there were children and babies that needed it, so when the water receded we got some of these people out who were sick and sent them to hospitals when the waters receded some.” Fitzgerald, Commissioner of Charities of the City of Troy: The Water Control Commission hearings in 1922, part of the proceedings leading up to the creation of regulating districts, provided some first-hand accounts of the flood of 1913, as excerpted below.įrom Water Control Commission Hearings, testimony of Gerald B. The devastation prompted legislation that set the foundation for establishing what would eventually become the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District (HRBRRD).

Maximum flows of record still stand for the Sacandaga River at Hope, NY (per USGS: maximum discharge, 32,000 feet3/s, Mar. The rare combination of simultaneous flooding on both the upper Hudson River and Mohawk River led to a crest that remains the flood flow of record on the Hudson River at Albany, with an elevation of 21.45 feet and an estimated (tide affected) flood flow of 240,000 cubic feet per second. Flooding affected the Hudson, Genesee, Black and Mohawk Rivers. Heavy rain and snowmelt on ground already saturated from rainfall earlier in the month led to disastrous flooding on March 27-28, 1913. “Whatever trouble mankind has, we had up there” It comes with 8 languages and a multicolor tab, making it easy to mark important parts of documents and videos.

However, for those who are comfortable with more complex window management software, and especially those who are using OSX for serious graphic design work, I believe that ShiftIt is too simple and lacks a few features that catered to more complex users and professionals. The application is easy to use for a beginner. You can easily click on the button "Return/Tab" to go to the previous window or tab. This feature is still incomplete in ShiftIt and it would be nice to have a button which allows you to switch between active windows to a different tab.Īnother nice feature so far is the keyboard shortcut menu. For example, if you have lots of open windows, then using the built in "Maximise" button would only maximise the number of active windows.

Kitchen Garden Planner at Gardener’s Supply The final two gates that are sometimes added to the list are the XOR and XNOR gates, also known as "exclusive or" and "exclusive nor" gates, respectively. Here's the basic operation of NAND and NOR gates - you can see they are simply inversions of AND and OR gates: NOR Gate A B Q If you include these two gates, then the count rises to five. These two gates are simply combinations of an AND or an OR gate with a NOT gate. It is quite common to recognize two others as well: the NAND and the NOR gate. Those are the three basic gates (that's one way to count them). Its basic idea is, "If A is 1 OR B is 1 (or both are 1), then Q is 1." A B Q You read this table row by row, like this: A B Qġ 1 1 If A is 1 AND B is 1, Q is 1. The idea behind an AND gate is, "If A AND B are both 1, then Q should be 1." You can see that behavior in the logic table for the gate. The AND gate performs a logical "and" operation on two inputs, A and B: A B Q The NOT gate has one input called A and one output called Q ("Q" is used for the output because if you used "O," you would easily confuse it with zero). In this article,we will first discuss simple logic "gates," and then see how to combine them into something useful. The great thing about Boolean logic is that, once you get the hang of things, Boolean logic (or at least the parts you need in order to understand the operations of computers) is outrageously simple. Boolean logic, originally developed by George Boole in the mid 1800s, allows quite a few unexpected things to be mapped into bits and bytes. If you want to understand the answer to this question down at the very core, the first thing you need to understand is something called Boolean logic. How can a "chip" made up of silicon and wires do something that seems like it requires human thought? Now computers do them with apparent ease. Have you ever wondered how a computer can do something like balance a check book, or play chess, or spell-check a document? These are things that, just a few decades ago, only humans could do. Boolean logic affects how computers operate. |
