Cobb who provided the funds for the campus's first building, Cobb Lecture Hall, and matched Marshall Field's pledge of $100,000. The Hyde Park campus was financed by donations from wealthy Chicagoans such as Silas B. While the Rockefeller donation provided money for academic operations and long-term endowment, it was stipulated that such money could not be used for buildings. Rockefeller, and including land donated by Marshall Field. The University of Chicago was incorporated as a coeducational : 137 institution in 1890 by the American Baptist Education Society, using $400,000 donated to the ABES to supplement a $600,000 donation from Standard Oil co-founder John D. The university's faculty members and alumni also include 10 Fields Medalists, 4 Turing Award winners, 52 MacArthur Fellows, 26 Marshall Scholars, 53 Rhodes Scholars, 27 Pulitzer Prize winners, 20 National Humanities Medalists, 29 living billionaire graduates, and eight Olympic medalists.įurther information: Old University of Chicago The University of Chicago's students, faculty, and staff include 97 Nobel laureates. The university is also home to the University of Chicago Press, the largest university press in the United States. ![]() The university research efforts include administration of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory, as well as the Marine Biological Laboratory. Advances in chemistry led to the "radiocarbon revolution" in the carbon-14 dating of ancient life and objects. Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory produced the world's first human-made, self-sustaining nuclear reaction in Chicago Pile-1 beneath the viewing stands of the university's Stagg Field. University of Chicago scholars have played a major role in the development of many academic disciplines, including economics, law, literary criticism, mathematics, physics, religion, sociology, and political science, establishing the Chicago schools in various fields. The university has additional campuses and centers in London, Paris, Beijing, Delhi, and Hong Kong, as well as in downtown Chicago. It has eight professional schools: the Law School the Booth School of Business the Pritzker School of Medicine the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice the Harris School of Public Policy the Divinity School the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. The University of Chicago is composed of an undergraduate college and five graduate research divisions, which contain all of the university's graduate programs and interdisciplinary committees. The university has its main campus in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The University of Chicago ( UChicago, Chicago, U of C, or UChi ) is a private research university in Chicago, Illinois, United States. ![]() Not only does Meadors’ Chrysler Town & Country look better than it did when it rolled off the assembly line in 1948, it has at least two cool features that I had never seen before.įirst, the restored original dashboard has a radio speaker covered by a plastic waffle grille. Like any real quality product, it is the attention to detail that separates the great from the good. Sand the wood, varnish the wood and repeat that procedure 50 times to produce what must be the best-looking 1948 Chrysler Town & Country in the world. The owner told me about the wood restoration done by Doug Carr of WoodN’Carr in Signal Hill. The completed vehicle weighs 5,121 pounds. The seats and interior were expertly done in deep red and tan leather. The original Town & Country fenders and hood were sanded to the bare metal before the car was painted a special Jaguar racing green. “Everything you don’t see is brand new.”Įven the chassis is new, as are the brakes, the 17-inch Chrysler wheels and all the stuff that connects them, plus a 32-gallon gas tank. “The car was about three years in construction,” he said, as it was not a restoration but really new construction. It was the most expensive model in the Chrysler line, with a starting price of $2,725 (about $35,000 in today’s dollars). Using white ash and mahogany wood, it built 8,368 Town & Country convertibles from 1946 to 1948. “The rest of it was just a rust bucket.”Īfter World War II, there was a shortage of materials, especially metal, so Chrysler did some innovative thinking. The wood had been worked on but not to Meadors’ standards. “It is basically a wooden car, with metal fenders and a metal front end,” he said. Meadors found this 1948 Chrysler Town & Country convertible on eBay about seven years ago in Missouri. “My first car was a 1947 Plymouth, and I put a Chrysler flat head 6 in it to soup it up.” He looked at his beautiful Chrysler Town & Country convertible and added, “Really, this is just a ’47 Plymouth on steroids.” He still has his first Plymouth and now his fancy steroid “Plymouth.” The Alamo resident is a longtime Mopar (Chrysler) fan. Currently, this Chrysler Town & Country is his favorite. One would think he would be racking up the frequent flier miles, but to get to most of the shows, he and his wife, Marilyn, like to drive one of his dozen or so classic cars. His 1948 Chrysler Town & Country and about 3,500 other cars will be on display. Four are in Pleasanton, the next one being Aug. His company does 20 Good Guy Shows a year around the country. But for Gary Meadors, founder and chairman of Good Guys Rod and Custom Association, good as new wasn’t good enough. But becoming a parts car is definitely better than rotting away in someone's backyard, so I guess we could say that this 1962 Bel Air was rescued.In restoring classic cars, usually the objective is to make it look as good as new. It's a bit sad if you think about it, but the Chevy is simply too far gone inside and out. But that's about everything this Bel Air will get to do before it will be parted out. And amazingly enough, the 235-cubic-inch (3.9-liter) inline-six engine still had enough grunt to push the 3,500-pound (1,588-kg) classic sideways for a bit. One that can't be saved without a very expensive restoration that doesn't make sense given the market value of a 1962 Bel Air four-door.īut that didn't stop "Working Hands" from making it driveable again. And not surprisingly, the cleaning process confirms that this Bel Air is a rust bucket. Amazingly enough, they also managed to get the old inline-six engine running again.Ī month later and the new owner returned with a new video, one that includes footage of the car's first wash. They spent a whopping four hours digging the car out of the mud and we've seen the video in early September 2022. That's when YouTube's "Working Hands" jumped in to give the four-door sedan a second chance. Until the owner decided to do an online auction and included the derelict Bel Air. All told, this Chevy was doomed to rust away. That's usually a big problem because the frame ends up sitting on the ground too. And not it spent almost four decades fully exposed to bad weather, it also sunk into the mud pool that formed under its wheels. Parked next to a barn, this Bel Air was completely neglected by its owner for a whopping 39 years. ![]() View image here: - So I guess OS X does this only the resource fork exists, and it looks like apps control whether or not the resource forks get created. txt file originally created from within XP does create one. _ files.Oddly, renaming a Safari-saved file as foo.txt and opening it in TextEdit and saving does _not_ create a.

In the case of a REST API with a JSON payload, 400s are typically, and correctly I would say, used to indicate that the JSON is invalid in some way according to the API specification. In other words, the data stream sent by the client to the server didnt follow the rules. Synonyms for QUEUE: line, line up, cue, file, sequence, align, place, prioritize Antonyms of QUEUE: disarray, mess (up), disorder, disarrange, muss (up), derange. NOTE: The Message Broker uses this Queue as the DMQ by default because it has the name #DEAD MSGQUEUE. Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition showing the post-install message Your license has expired or Your evaluation period has ended. A 400 means that the request was malformed. This code example creates a Dead Message Queue (DMQ), sends some messages with a Time to Live (TTL) and shows how messages with the TTL will expire and then get sent the DMQ.įirst, create the Dead Message Queue (DMQ). NOTE: This is the default configuration in PubSub+ Cloud messaging services. ![]() The Client Profile must be configured to allow receiving guaranteed messages and allow creating guaranteed messages. This feature is very useful in real-time applications where receiving a stale message could cause harm or waste valuable real-time processing resources. ![]() Hannon Hill has more information on this Cascade functionality in their. If destination queues or topic endpoints are configured to respect message TTLs, when received messages’ TTLs have passed, they are either discarded by the endpoint, or, if the messages are eligible for a Dead Message Queue (DMQ), they are moved to a DMQ provisioned on the message broker. This page is used to document how to run the Stale Content Report. To ensure that stale messages are not consumed, you can set a Time‑To-Live (TTL) value (in milliseconds) for each Guaranteed message published by a producer. This sample demonstrates how to send a message with Time to Live (TTL) enabled and how to allow an expired message to be collected by the Dead Message Queue (DMQ). However, taking all the different rotations/scales/positions/nested particles/trails/etc. I've written a prototype where I iterate through ParticleSystem.GetParticles and create billboarded meshes for each particle by hand. Perf isn't a huge problem, since I'll only be doing this collider generation while the particle system is paused.ĭo you know of a way that I can access the particle system renderer's meshes? I basically want to access what I can see in the Scene viewport when I have "Shaded Wireframe" turned on, but I can't find an API to do that: To do this, I'd like access to all the meshes generated by the particle system (from mesh particles, billboard particles, stretched billboard particles, etc.) and then (while the user has paused the video) generate a combined mesh filter that includes all these meshes, then create a mesh collider out of that to perform the raycasting against. I want a more accurate way to select particle systems via raycasting against the mesh created by the particle system. The current issue I'm running into is for selection. ![]() Sorry to bother you with another question, but the app we are building ( ) has been leading me to various dark corners of the particle system API ![]() (etc) I'm mainly just repeating the manual page here, so I'll Richard and Karl, Damping ties Strength + Frequency together, so you can maintain the same overall noise shape at different sizes Frequency describes how often the particles will change direction I would advise trying to think more about how each parameter affects the shape of the noise: We don't have any first party tutorials on it yet. We have a manual page here: If you think it is lacking specific information, let us know and we can improve it. Imagine particles travelling across the noise (You are using Low Quality, where we only generate 1 axis of noise, and re-use it all directions, for fast by less "interesting" noise.) As the particles travel across the noise, a grey area means no effect, black means strong negative, and white means strong positive. The texture is used to give you an indication of how particles will be affected by the noise. This final value is the maximum potential units per second that any given particle may move. ![]() To use your example, a Strength of 5 produces Perlin Noise in the range.Ĭurl noise then combines 2 samples for each axis, giving you a final range of. The parameters are fed into an implementation of Curl Noise, which uses multiple samples from a Perlin Noise field. Save the atlas file ( Ctrl+S or File > Save).Drag the files and drop them into the atlas editor.Select the image files in the Project Explorer.To add the image files to the atlas follow these steps: One time the atlas file is created and the Atlas Editor is open to editing it then you can start adding images to the atlas. So you should exclude it from a game build, but keep it on your game development source. This file does not contain any relation with Phaser, else it contains Phaser Editor related stuff, like the atlas settings and the path of the source images. When you press Finish, a file myatlas.atlas is created and opened in the Atlas Editor. This container folder should be a sub-folder of the WebContent folder. You can see this happening on line 6 below.To create an atlas click on File > New > Atlas Generator File, it opens a dialog to set the name of the atlas and the container folder. We do this by passing it the current value of our animationStateTime variable. When it is time to render our sprite, we ask our Animation instance for the frame that we need to draw - AKA the Key Frame. To help cycle the animation frames, in our update() method we utilise a variable which accumulates the delta time between frames - animationStateTime. In other words, the duration between each frame is 1/15 seconds, or, 0.0666 seconds. On line 11, we create a new Animation instance and instruct it to animate our sprite frames 15 times per second. ![]() The Animation class makes it a breeze to animate our sprites. For our purposes, each AtlasRegion holds a frame of animation for our sprite. Note that AtlasRegion has the same parent class as Sprite - TextureRegion, which we have seen before. As an added bonus, because of the way I configured TexturePacker, we receive them in animation order. On line 10, we ask the TextureAtlas for an array of all the AtlasRegions (frames) belonging to the invader1 sprite. On line 9, we create an instance of TextureAtlas, by passing it the path to our spritesheet.atlas file. The TextureAtlas class deals with de-serialsing that file and provides us with handy methods to get hold of the frames for a particular sprite, along with other useful information. ![]() This file contains all of the information about each sprite frame I packed. When I packed my sprites into a texture atlas, TexturePacker generated a file called spritesheet.atlas. ![]() TextureAtlas = new TextureAtlas("spritesheet.atlas") // 9.įrames = textureAtlas.findRegions("invader1") // 10.Īnimation = new Animation(1/15f, frames) // 11. Let’s have a look at our create() method and it’s supporting class member variables. I’m not going to delve into the details of how to use the tool, as you can just click the link that I have provided.Īll you need to know for this tutorial, is that I have used it to pack the frames needed for my demonstration of Sprite animation, and, that we can get hold of the frames for that animation as shown in the source code below. LibGDX’s TexturePacker is nothing short of excellent. In this post, I just want to put those two classes to one side and look at what libGDX provides us with for sprite animation purposes.īy the end of this tutorial, we’ll have a simple application which animates a sprite, as shown in the video below. In my previous tutorial, we introduced a couple of new classes - XNASpriteBatch and XNASprite - to help us draw sprites in a more familiar way. ![]() To avoid this problem, get out of bed slowly, resting your feet on the floor for a few minutes before standing up.

It is the term for the resistance that a fluid has to flowing and movement. ![]() Many elements exist as solid-state at room temperatures, such as sodium, vanadium and magnesium. Viscosity refers to the thickness (or thinness) of a liquid. They can be crystalline, like table salt, or amorphous, like glass, rubber or plastic. Solids are incompressible and have high density, compared to liquids and gases. The particles vibrate back and forth within their fixed positions and do not move freely. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume. In the solid state, the particles do not have enough energy to overcome the strong intermolecular forces, which means they are tightly held against each other. Viscosity – resistance to motion that exists between the molecules of a liquid when they move past each other Properties of Solids Surface tension – force that pulls adjacent parts of a liquid’s surface together, decreasing the surface area to the smallest size possible Intermolecular forces – forces of attraction or repulsion existing between neighboring particles. Measured in stokes (St) or centistokes (cSt). Also known as the coefficient of kinematic viscosity. Solids, liquids and gases are all around us, they are the three main states of matter – but how many of their properties do you really know? Let’s find out! Topics Covered in Other ArticlesĬapillary action – attraction of the surface of a liquid to the surface of a soliĬrystalline – the particles of the solid are arranged in an orderly, geometric, repeating patternĭiffusion – spontaneous mixing of the particles of two substances caused by their motion Definition: The absolute viscosity of a fluid divided by the density of the fluid. The most common solution viscosity terms are: 1. Examples are: density, mass, viscosity, melting point, colour, etc. ![]() That capacity is quantied by using one of several dierent measures of solution viscosity. definitions that can be tested in your major chemistry examinations. Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In this tutorial, you will learn about the properties of the solid, liquid, and gas phases of matter. Several methods exist for characterizing the solution viscosity, or more specically, the capacity of the solute to increase the viscosity of the solution. ![]() ![]() Instead, we will feel empathy for our babies.Īnd we will think of ways to help them, instead of ways to help ourselves. So if ever our babies won’t still sleep or sleep longer at night, we won’t get too worked up and angry that we didn’t meet our goal. Let’s try to turn that around and make it our goal to help our baby sleep. Otherwise, we’d end up physically and mentally exhausted, lacking focus and concentration, which could endanger our baby. Which does make sense in a way, cause we need some rest. It’s not about them – it’s not about our babies! It’s about US (the parents), it’s about our needs. We are all teaching our babies to sleep independently, sleep longer, soothe themselves to sleep, and put themselves back to sleep – with the goal of parents (all of us) – getting enough rest and sleep. Let’s flip the switch on the goal of any sleeping method.Ĭause if you think about it, the REAL aim of any sleeping technique out there is to help parents and caregivers get enough sleep and rest. You can check out some tips here on how to cope with sleep deprivation with a newborn.Ĭhange the goal: Help baby sleep, not YOU I also had postpartum depression then so my baby not sleeping just made things worse.
