![]() Since then, there has been no High King to unite the Clans, and they fell into quarrelling and raiding amongst themselves. The Western Imperial Legion was sent to face the highland raiders, and with the help of the Borderland clans Iseal and Machnar, killed High King Brendan in the battle of Wyrm’s Pass.Ī treaty was signed that forbade any clan from crossing into the Borderlands in return for peace. ![]() Fed up with these constant attacks, the Borderland Clans called on the Empire for help – a powerful realm controlling the land from the Scarlett Mountains to Cynehelm Valley and the Hoarwood. In the Highlands of Fareach, Clans of Barbarian warriors have eked out a living in the harsh northern climate, constantly feuding with each other and raiding the wealthier Borderland towns. Again and again I am faced with risky decisions: Should I follow the fleeing enemy with my decimated troops? Or rather rest at the risk that the refugees will reform themselves? This is how to make a worthy, contemporary successor to a decades-old classic!”Ībout This Game Three hundred years have passed since the Shadow Wars have ravaged Keldonia and the world of Aer, and the struggles of the past have long since faded into legends. I am moved to try everything to prevent my heroes and experienced units from perishingr. “Like its predecessor, Fantasy General 2 captivates from the first mission and even improves a lot of things from the original: The moral system is more transparent, the missions with their very different goals and many side locations are much more dynamic. Otherwise, you'll miss one of the most challenging and gripping genre representatives of the year!” Even though the balance of the game is not perfect and the level of difficulty is so high that it just cannot be done without reloading and optimizing, I still recommend any lover of turn-based games to buy it. The dialogue text and story depth is completely sufficient for me. “Graphically, I found the game beautiful, the music even great (the main track has been remastered from the original). “And this is the very reason why I believe Fantasy General 2: Invasion has not only tremendous staying power, but the potential of a fulfilling future.” Hydrolysis can occur at temperatures as low as 90☌, forming low molecular weight by-products, mostly acids and alcohols. High-risk lubricants include phosphate esters, diesters and polyol esters. Risk is limited to nuclear power plants and is generally rare.Ĭertain ester-type synthetic lubricants, when contaminated with heat and water, can hydrolyze. Prolonged exposure to high doses of gamma radiation can cause molecular cleavage and loss of viscosity. Common examples are microdieseling, hot spots (for instance, leaky steam flowing across on oil line), high Watt-density heater elements, and close-proximity furnaces. ![]() Oils exposed to high localized temperatures can crack oil molecules into progressively smaller fragments which thins viscosity considerably. These high-temperature events can fracture molecules resulting in gas evolution (release into the oil), causing a loss of viscosity. High temperature will swell the VII molecule, making it more vulnerable to shear.Īrcing electricity can occur for several reasons including improperly grounded electric motors/generators, welding activities and electrostatic discharge. This is influenced by the quality of VII, its concentration in the oil, the oil's operating temperature and the shear rate. After exposure to mechanical shear within a machine, the average MW of these VIIs can fall to 50,000 or less. Some VIIs have molecular weights ranging more than one million. Because the viscosity of an oil can be referred to as the average molecular weight of an oil's blended population of molecules, viscosity will decrease when large molecules break into numerous smaller molecules (like crushing a rock into gravel). ![]() Mass change is probably the most common explanation for a low viscosity reading and can occur due to numerous mechanical, electrical and chemical reasons. The separation can occur during storage, centrifugation or filtration, but in other cases may simply form sludge zones in tanks or become released to form deposits, varnish or reservoir bathtub rings. Such impurities can separate or stratify from the oil due to cold temperature insolvency, loss of dispersancy, chemical coagulation/agglomeration or water washing. These include waxy suspensions, sludge, oxide insolubles, decomposed additives, soot and gels. Many contaminants and soft impurities that might have originally elevated viscosity can later be removed, causing a noticeable drop in viscosity. These high molecular-weight polymer additives used in many lubricant formulations may become separated from the base oil due to (1) insolubility by sustained exposure to very cold temperature, (2) insolubility when mixed with an incompatible base oil (such as olefin copolymers in Group II base oils for instance), or by (3) mechanical filtration (at higher temperatures, some VII are said to be able to plug extremely fine filters). The following are a few examples of how this could occur: This would cause a loss of viscosity because it would destabilize the blend. The selective removal of high molecular-weight suspensions in a lubricant is less common, but still plausible. Examples of such contaminants include natural gas, solvents, diesel fuel, degreasers, process chemicals and refrigerants. Also, when certain nonlubricants contaminate a fluid, a similar end result occurs. In plant or field equipment, this could happen when a low viscosity lubricant is accidentally used as makeup fluid which drops viscosity through dilution. This type of blending is often performed by formulators and blend plants to bring a high-viscosity oil into a target viscosity grade (ISO VG 46, for instance) of a branded product. Lubricant viscosity can be thinned or cut back by adding a low viscosity fluid or dissolved gas to the mix. When it comes to an abrupt loss of viscosity or a downward viscosity movement, the following are common contributing factors that we now know: The oil analysis community is aware of the usual suspect conditions or events, but some remain undiscovered or at least are not fully understood. It's safe to say that viscosity will not change without a forcing event or condition that incites the change. ![]() What does it mean and why did it occur? Let's explore the many possible causes of low viscosity. What's not so good is when viscosity moves suddenly with no obvious explanation or warning. After all, when viscosity has not changed, you can rightly conclude that the many known viscosity-altering factors are probably not happening - a good thing for sure. The list of root causes that can alter a viscosity reading is quite extensive hence the reason why viscosity has become such an information-rich measure of used oil condition. Viscosity can go up, down or remain unchanged. ![]() This isn’t exactly the way things usually go down, but amniotic fluid is a key part of labor and delivery and a hugely important part of pregnancy. Some medication, such as ibuprofen, can also decrease the production of amniotic fluid, so it is important to inform the obstetrician before any medication is started.We’ve seen it countless times in movies: panic washes over the face of a very pregnant woman and whoosh! There’s a sudden gush of amniotic fluid at her feet as her water breaks and labor begins.

Real user monitoring (RUM): Real user monitoring is designed to record actual end-user interactions with a website or application.API monitoring tools and monitoring software provide insight into whether an API or integration is working properly, ensuring minimal downtime. API monitoring: Enterprises that offer APIs to third-party developers will find it crucial to ensure the uptime of these services.More modern APM tools can include automated routines to troubleshoot these issues without the intervention of a human developer. Application management/application performance management (APM): APM tools are similar to web performance monitoring tools, but they’re designed with customer-facing applications in mind, allowing analysts to track the performance of an application and spot any issues before they become too severe for the user base.Web performance metrics are essential to help analysts not only ensure that the web server and the websites it serves are up and running, but are also performing to customers’ expectations. Web performance monitoring tools track metrics including page load time, errors and where they occur and load times of individual web elements. Web performance monitoring: This is a subset of availability monitoring specifically designed to monitor the availability of a web server. ![]() Availability monitoring can also be applied to server management, infrastructure monitoring and management and network monitoring and management. Availability monitoring: Also known as system monitoring, this is one of the most mature flavors of IT monitoring, keeping track of basic system performance metrics such as uptime and performance.With that in mind, we’ll take a look at some of the basic types of IT monitoring. There isn’t an official list of all the types of IT monitoring and when it comes to tools and practices there is often a significant amount of overlap. What are the basic types of IT monitoring? We’ll also explore how to choose an effective IT monitoring strategy for your organization. ![]() In this article, we’ll talk about the basic principles and types of IT monitoring, the tools that are used and the ways that IT monitoring works with other disciplines including network performance and management, DevOps and automation. IT monitoring has a large crossover with other related disciplines, including IT operations management (ITOM), operational intelligence (OI), observability, security orchestration, automation and response ( SOAR) and security information and event management ( SIEM). IT monitoring tools are now designed to monitor both on-premises and cloud-based infrastructures. One major change in IT monitoring came with the growing popularity of cloud computing. The practice of IT monitoring has evolved significantly in recent years, in large part because IT environments have become significantly more complex. With the cost of IT downtime averaging $5,600 per minute according to a Gartner estimate, IT monitoring is more important than ever before. IT monitoring tools can include everything from basic tools to more advanced solutions that use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict and prevent outages before they occur. IT monitoring is the name for the products and processes used to determine if an organization’s information technology (IT) equipment and services are working properly and to detect and help resolve problems. Plotting eliminates all these questions and more, because planning will let you see the book as a whole, recognize problems early, and make adjustements before you have fifty thousand words already down on paper. What if I realize I need a subplot but I'm too far in to develop one? What if I end the story before I hit my word count? There was always a nagging worry in the back of my mind: When I wrote without planning-pantsing every word-I actually found myself feeling more tied down. It gives us freedom to explore the story and character (and cast of characters!) without worrying where the next plot point is going to come from. Planning Brings FreedomĬontrary to my initial belief about outlining a book, I've now realized that planning is not restricting at all. I was proud of creative process, and felt the stories come to life instead of flattened. Not only that, I learned how to do it correctly-a method that motivated my creativity and ability to finish stories that had once been just an initial idea. It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized the value of a planning process and the efficiency it brought to my writing. Because of this, I went on pantsing for a long time. It felt terribly restricting to lay out an entire book and have to follow it step by step. By the time I reached the end of each book, I looked back at the bumpy, crooked path that got me there and felt rather unsatisfied. What followed was a desperate attempt to steer the plot back on course, rather like herding cats. They each started with a solid story idea, but usually after a few thousand words, I started to lose control of the story. I felt proud to have completed those books, but at the same time, I had mixed feelings every time I read them. Those NaNoWriMo sessions produced three 50K-word novellas and parts of two other books. I dove in, no planning stage, and just wrote from a basic idea. I finished NaNoWriMo a total of five times just pantsing. This article is about planning, but first, let me make it clear that I was once the ultimate pantser.

However, some projectors lack an HDMI adapter, necessitating the purchase of a new one. The majority of new projectors include audio and video signals, making them Xbox compatible. Because projectors reflect light while televisions emit it, they are unquestionably superior to televisions. Yes, large Screen protection is better for your eyes. Is a projector better for your eyes than a television? However, when it comes to watching movies, the same projector performs admirably. While 4K projectors are effective at delivering an immersive gaming experience, they frequently have high input lag, making them unsuitable for gaming. Always keep an eye on the fan noise to see if it is tolerable.Ĭheck out other good products in the same categoryįAQs Is a 4K projector suitable for gaming? Noise from the fanĪ projector with a loud fan can be annoying during your binge-watching sessions or perfect gaming sessions with your friends. As the beam rises at an acute angle, it casts a shadow over all imperfections. It is extremely simple to mount them over a wall, and there is no need to run wires through ceilings. The majority of 1080p native resolution projectors shift the image twice rather than four times. You can enjoy superior reproduction because these projectors have a wider 10-bit color gamut. True 4k projectors are the best deals to look into for an immersive movie viewing experience. Some of them are available for as little as $500. We've compiled a well-researched list of projectors that deliver significant, bright, crisp images while also achieving one of the most important goals: low enough input latency for gaming. If you're worried that projectors won't cut it when it comes to gaming, you can rest easy. These projectors are also available for less than $600. If you have limited space, there are great pocket-size and short-throw options that make lawn-side movie nights and gaming as simple as finding an extension cable and a level chair to place them on. In addition, Projectors are much more portable and simple to set up than in the past. Projectors used to cost tens of thousands of dollars, but now you can get a large, stunning image from a projector for less than $1000. If you enjoy gaming and want to upgrade your screen for better performance, you've come to the right place. It's the ideal time to invest in a projector that will provide you with a premium, theater-like experience without even leaving your house.

So this is a hybrid design with one part of the tent single-layer and the sleeping zone is a double layer structure. See the floor plan below: The floor plan and dimensions.Īs you realize from the picture above, there is space of a few centimeters between the inner and the outer tent on all sides, and this is good for ventilation. The tent is with two external doors and two inner doors, and it is tunnel-type with 3 air loops that create its tunnel structure. This implies that you have a 3-room tent here, with two sleeping units and a large sitting zone. ![]() You have an inner sleeping area tent attached to the external shell. The inner tent is a “light-out” area, with two doors and a divider. This is a new trend in the family camping tents’ design, see it below. So you have an inner layer which makes the interior darker and you can sleep longer in the morning, or take a nap during the day. The meaning of this term is similar to dark rest or dark room phrase. The air beams are pre-angled to achieve a greater internal space, and they provide effective bracing against side winds. All you need is a pump which is included in the package and you can raise the tent from the ground in a few minutes. ![]() Instead, you have 3 air beams which support the tent. The meaning of this is that you do not have classic metal poles. Very reliable and great weather protection. |
