![]() ![]() The Digital version has impressive thermal performance in every category, especially GPU thermals, and it briefly topped the chart for noise-normalized thermals before the addition of the Lancool II Mesh. ![]() The $100 P500A non-Digital with two 140mm fans should be a pretty good deal too once it releases, pushing Phanteks into competition with its own P400A. Like with the P400A, we’re again talking about the Digital RGB variant here. The next one is the Phanteks P500A Digital RGB case, which is one of the newest two cases on the list. Budget ($100) Phanteks P500A Digital RGB ($130) We will also link to each case’s retail page, where we may make a small commission if you purchase the product from the retailer (this comes from the retailer, a third-party, not from the manufacturer). If there’s one you like in particular, we’d encourage checking out its accompanying full review. We won’t be talking thermals or build quality as in-depth as we do for individual case reviews, so we’ve linked the relevant reviews for each case below. As always, let us know if there’s another case we should check out in the comments below. We have almost 300 rows of test data multiplied across about 7 sheets, so although we’ll be limiting ourselves to cases we’ve reviewed, that’s still a big list. Today, we’ll be covering some of our top choices-this isn’t our yearly best-and-worst cases roundup, it’s just a selection of airflow-focused cases with good value. Now the tide has turned again, and in 2020, we have more airflow cases than we know what to do with. As those cases aged and optical drives fell out of favor, front panel designs became increasingly clean and minimalistic, and therefore increasingly closed-off. That generally implies lots of mesh and lots of fans, like the classic Cooler Master HAF cases that adopted “high airflow” as a brand name. Over all the years that we’ve been doing case reviews, we’ve advocated for high airflow designs. Today is a round-up of the best airflow-focused cases currently out, which can also be tuned to be good acoustic performers by nature of unrestricted intakes. ![]()

![]() These are pretty harsh conditions for antibodies, which have evolved to work largely within the bloodstream, with its almost neutral pH of about 7.4. The citric acid in orange juice, phosphoric acid in cola and malic acid in apple juice give these beverages a pH between 2.5 and 4. A range of fluids, from fruit juice to cola, have been used to fool the tests, but they all have one thing in common - they are highly acidic. When you do a test, you mix your sample with a liquid buffer solution, ensuring the sample stays at an optimum pH, before dripping it on the strip.Ī much more likely explanation is that something in the drinks is affecting the function of the antibodies. They are also attached to gold nanoparticles (tiny particles of gold actually appear red), which allow us to see where the antibodies are on the device. Absorbed to the red pad are antibodies that bind to the COVID-19 virus. If you open up an LFT device, you’ll find a strip of paper-like material, called nitrocellulose, and a small red pad, hidden under the plastic casing below the T-line. It’s worth understanding how the tests work. ![]() Sure enough, a few minutes later, two lines appeared on each test, supposedly indicating the presence of the virus that causes Covid-19.

The reason for such progression is mostly to not die out of boredom. Then I moved to Elite, which was played in full. ![]() I’ve also partially played through FG campaign somewhere in the middle to get access to Korvan Storm Halberd farming spots. Test character was levelled on Hardcore, starting from Veteran, on which I completed the vanilla campaign and rushed AoM campaign up to Coven of Ugdenbog to open the faction. Therefore, WPS skills such as Feral Hunger, Upheaval, Markovian’s Advantage and Zolhan’s Technique do not work with Primal Strike. The proc rate of Torrent seems to be about 1.5 times per second while your attack speed will eventually reach 3 times per second.Ĭontrary to what it might appear, non-cooldown Primal Strike is not a default attack replacer, even though it’s normally bound to left mouse button and scales with attack speed. In practice Torrent has a limited proc rate that is easy to notice even with fairly modest attack speed. In theory that would have meant Torrent is a beast with non-cooldown PS because you’ll be able to cover the whole screen with it’s lightning. Torrent is not affected by penalties of Thunderous Strike because due to engine limitations it’s a separate part of sorts, more like a built-in proc. This means you’ll have to stack more lifesteal than you would normally be fine with. ![]() It is basically double-dipping, as a result non-cooldown Primal Strike will have less lifesteal than a theoretical skill with same damage output that didn’t had cooldown and associated penalties to begin with. The penalty is even known to apply to lifesteal ratio because lifesteal is considered as an offensive (‘damage’) stat. if Korvan Storm Halberd is used then it’s 35% weapon damage bonus is effectively reduced to 25% by total damage penalty of Thunderous Strike. If you’re getting bonus weapon damage or flat damage via skill modifiers they are also subject to total damage penalty, e.g. What that means is maxed out rank 26 Primal Strike is essentially a 187% weapon damage AoE skill with fairly impressive flat damage part. Total damage penalty is then applied to most damage sources of the skill, including it’s weapon damage. Non-cooldown Primal Strike is unlocked with transmuter – Thunderous Strike, which reduces weapon damage and total damage as the price for cooldown removal.Īmong two penalties the weapon damage one applies first, which is subtracted from weapon damage value of Primal Strike. People seldom play cooldown Primal Strike to the point where I can’t even tell you whether it’s good or bad, but non-cooldown Primal Strike has been a popular skill pretty much since the release of the game. Primal Strike comes in two forms – cooldown and non-cooldown version. Two years ago I wanted to remake my Elementalist as Conjurer while one year ago I had faith in Druid. This is a relatively new trend, and I tend to follow trends. Druid would had aged much better.Īnyway, the preferred high end class for Ultos set based build went from Elementalist and Conjurer in vanilla through Vindicator and Druid in AoM and early FG, but recently if you say Ultos you’ll hear Warder. I always regretted the class choice I made back then, it was obsolete really fast. ![]() Beginner’s Lightning Elementalist was the first beginner build I posted a whooping three years ago. ![]() I have quite a history with Primal Strike, it was one of my most favorite skills in vanilla, but one can level just that many characters with it before getting weary.

![]() ![]() ![]() There's a good reason a trained working police dog fled from the jaguar - it was in mortal fear. Who knows why? But a large predator that is used to people is much more dangerous to people and much more likely to attack than a large predator that isn't.ĭogs can hear things we can't, like heartbeats. So I don't doubt that the jaguar attacked the guy. That's why it's so bad to let wild predators get used to people, associate them with being fed, etc. ![]() For animals that can see us as prey in a natural setting, our biggest protector is their fear of us. ![]() Likely lost any natural fear of humans that it has. Its key to note that this was a zoo animal. They are human and I get it but living where I did at the time I wasn't going to allow myself to be that close to anyone I met on the road and my girl agreed! She is awesome.Īnd for the record I didn't think I was in danger and I wouldn't have approached without her. She did not like how fast he was moving and did not want him any closer to us and he sure stopped quick. And my girl without missing a beat stands and goes full hackles and starts big scary barking at him. but then the guy who is clearly on drugs is like let me show you what we are going to do with it! And starts very quickly clearing the distance to me. I can believe that and maybe they won't dump in the future. Of course they absolutely weren't they were just hanging and they were going to take something that was dumped! Ok. Like hey guys you're not dumping right? It happens a lot and it is really expensive to remove the items. I walked near them and had her sit and was asking if they were dumping and just trying to humanize our situation. We have had a lot of issues with dumping and also these people were in someone's parking spot who would be home soon. I was about to take my GSD on a walk when I noticed some people hanging by the dumpster at the small apartment complex my parents own. The dog attacking it is the key part of this story My two cents is that if wild jaguars are shy and avoid humans, one that has spent it's life around humans and handlers isn't going to become some crazed attack on sight monster when it gets out of its cage. She lay half dead, in a large pool of blood.Īnyway, it's all speculation. Gabi was found in a corridor in the immediate vicinity of the cage from which the jaguar escaped. Sometime until dawn, they tried to put her back in the cage and in the end, when there was no other way out, unfortunately, they had to shoot her. They immediately determined that it was a female jaguar, young and full of strength. The police woke up director Bojović and together they rushed to stop the runaway, ravaged animal. Excited, he ran to the phone and informed the police about what was happening in the Garden. It was only when roars and barking began to break the silence of the night and when he made out in the darkness a boiling ball from which claws and teeth emerged, that it was clear to him that it was some kind of beast. The guard remained confused, still not understanding what it was about. She remained completely frozen for several seconds, and then rushed into the darkness with the speed of a bullet, while the other dog - a male German shepherd - ran in the opposite direction with a whimper. When the guard, who was patrolling with dogs, reached that part of the Garden, Gabi stopped suddenly, listening. There is every possibility the jaguar was just wandering around. How can it say that for certain? The jaguar was off in the distance when the dog ran at it and attacked. Article states if the dog wasnt there the guard would have died, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In these cases larger sampling distances may be used and a good job can still be done when deconvolving these images. ![]() While sampling at the Nyquist rate is a very good idea, it is in many practical situations hard to attain. The correct Nyquist rate is defined in terms of the system Bandwidth (in the frequency domain) which is determined by the Point Spread Function. The pixelation corresponding to the Nyquist rate will be clearly seen.Ī common rule of thumb defines the ideal sampling in terms of spatial resolution ("sample with half of the resolution") but this is not exactly correct, and in some cases will lead to undersampling. The images are shown as Maximum Intensity Projections along Z and Y, and upscaled for a better display. The size of the PSF image will be given in µm. You have also the option to generate an image of the Point Spread Function (PSF) which only takes a few seconds more. The data will be returned in nanometers (nm). (To see what equations are used in this calculator and some theory behind the scenes read the Nyquist rate background article). With the form on this page you can calculate the Ideal Sampling from your optical conditions to acquire a well sampled image. See the examples on anti aliasing and aliasing artifacts, and some consequences in Quality Vs Sampling. Frequently, the Nyquist rate is considered as being two times lower than the spatial resolution limit of a microscope, which is incorrect and will also lead to undersampling. Images obtained with sampling distances (voxel dimensions) larger than those established by this rate will suffer from undersampling. This Nyquist rate is equal to twice the highest frequency (bandwidth) of the signal. It is recommended to sample the image at a rate close to the ideal Nyquist Rate. The ideal Sampling Density (or inversely, Voxel Size) for image acquisition depends on the optics of the microscope. For further details, see below.įor installing our Nyquist app for Android devices, please visit this page. To compute these backprojected values, see the Backprojected Pinhole Calculator. divided by the total magnification of the system. The Pinhole Radius and Pinhole Distances parameters are not physical sizes, but rather BackProjected sizes, i.e. The Huygens Theoretical PSF page contains more information and interactive examples on the impact of RI mismatch on the PSF shape. Note that the pinhole size doesn't alter the bandwidth of the detection system. To determine the ideal sampling density you need to image at the Nyquist rate Additional parameters appear if you check the option to calculate the Theoretical PSF. The beam shaper quality indicator is a function of the ratio between the unshaped spot size and the shaped spot size.Microscopy Nyquist rate and PSF calculatorīefore you're performing a microscopy experiment, calculate the correct pixel size so that you image enough detail of your object. The beam shaper will always add some level of divergence, which means the shaped spot will always be larger than the diffraction limited spot size. When shaping a single mode laser beam, the beam shaper optic will continuously map the input power distribution (Gaussian) onto the desired output distribution by changing the local surface slope. It is possible to calculate an indicator of beam shaper quality based on a set of optical train parameters. This calculator can be used to determine the likely quality of a single mode beam shaper optic. Therefore, a shaped beam can never be smaller than the diffraction limited spot size of the system. All beam shapers add divergence to the beam. The user can vary the input beam size, lens focal length and wavelength to assess how the diffraction limited spot size varies.Īt PowerPhotonic, this information is used by the engineering team to determine the minimum size of a shaped beam. This calculator will determine the smallest spot that can be created by a perfect lens with a gaussian input beam. The ability of a lens to focus a beam of light into a small spot is limited by diffraction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Accordingly while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards however we are unable to reach that judgment. At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment. Mueller made clear he was not exonerating Trump of obstruction, writing: In other words, Mueller ultimately did not definitively conclude that Trump obstructed justice, but it was not for a lack of trying. “The President’s efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful,” the report states, “but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests.” They included Trump’s request that the then FBI director, James Comey, drop the investigation of the former national security adviser Michael Flynn Trump’s attempts to stop the then attorney general Jeff Sessions’ recusal from overseeing the Russia investigation Trump’s demand that the special counsel’s investigation be limited to election meddling only and Trump’s efforts behind the scenes to fire Mueller. Mueller investigated 10 instances in which Trump sought to use the power of the presidency to obstruct justice by either personally interfering with the Russia investigation or directing his aides to do so. The report also said there was "substantial evidence" that Mr Trump fired James Comey as FBI director in 2017 due to his "unwillingness to publicly state that the President was not personally under investigation".Obstruction inquiry finds numerous ‘episodes’ involving Trump Mr McGahn refused to carry out Mr Trump's order to fire Mr Mueller "for fear of being seen as triggering another Saturday night massacre". In June 2017, Mr Trump directed White House counsel Don McGahn to tell the then-acting attorney general that Mr Mueller had conflicts of interest and must be removed, the report said. "The evidence supports the inference that the President intended Manafort to believe that he could receive a pardon, which would make cooperation with the government as a means of obtaining a lesser sentence unnecessary." Loading. "The Russian contacts consisted of business connections, offers of assistance to the Campaign, invitations for candidate Trump and Putin to meet in person, invitations for Campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government to meet, and policy positions seeking improved US-Russian relations." "Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." "The evidence we obtained about the President's actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. "When Sessions told the President that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, 'Oh my God.

When then-attorney general Jeff Sessions told US President Donald Trump that a special counsel was being appointed to investigate potential links between his campaign and Russian meddling in the election, Mr Trump said "this is the end of my Presidency". ![]() ![]() ![]() He went on tour to promote his album Gracias Por Estar Aqui a few weeks after. Marco Antonio Solís appeared as a vocal coach in the third season of La Voz. On 5 August 2010, Solís received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has worked with Olga Tañón, Ana Bárbara, Enrique Iglesias, Chayanne, Marc Anthony and Anaís, among others. Īs a solo artist he has remained popular in his native Mexico as well throughout Latin America and Spain, and the United States with more than thirty entries on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, including multiple number one hits. ![]() In 1995, after almost 20 years of working with the group, he decided to pursue a solo career. As lead singer and chief songwriter of Los Bukis, Solís became known in the industry for outside writing and producing for popular singers such as Marisela and Rocío Dúrcal. In the mid-1970s he formed " Los Bukis" with whom he achieved success in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the United States. Marco Antonio Solís began performing at age six as part of "Los Hermanitos Solís" with his cousin, Joel Solís. In 2022, Solís was recognized as Person of the Year by the Latin Recording Academy. Solís has been awarded five Latin Grammy Awards, two Lo Nuestro Awards, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and has been inducted into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame. Solís released his first solo album, En Pleno Vuelo in 1996 by Fonovisa Records. The band split up after nearly two decades of success, with Solís pursuing a solo career. In 1975 he co-founded Los Bukis, of which he was the lead vocalist and guitarist. īorn and raised in Ario de Rosales, Michoacán, Solís began his musical career at the age of six, performing part of Los Hermanitos Solís. ![]() A melody alone moves me, makes me vibrate.Marco Antonio Solís Sosa (born 29 December 1959) is a Mexican musician, singer, composer, and record producer. By then the essence of the song is there. I sit at my keyboard and I write the bass and little by little construct the harmonies. When I get to my studio, I begin to give shape to my scribbles. And, always, always, I write on my little slips of paper. Plus, I record the melodies there as they come to me, and my voice reflects the emotional state I was in when I recorded them. Solis: “Oh, they all laugh at me, because I sometimes take it with me to the gym. Q: Do you still record with a little tape recorder? If I go walk somewhere, for example, you can feel the energy, the positive vibrations, the quietness, and suddenly, the words come.” There are many things we don’t see, but we feel. Everything is always there, floating invisibly. Q: Your new album is titled “No Molestar” (Don’t Bother), after the single of the same name. What’s important to me is what I leave on the stage.” It’s taken me a long time, and I want to take care of it as much as possible. I want to give honesty to the name and not tie it with business transactions. I don’t feel comfortable selling products. Q: In this day and age when musicians are focused on branding, it appears you don’t have any sponsorships. Perhaps a better term is simply ‘Mexican music.’ What I find across all countries is a very similar sensibility.” With the proper orchestration and the right show, we can play with what’s considered regional Mexican, but we can also sing the big ballads, like any other pop soloist. And the evidence is we can be playing anywhere in Latin America and in Spain. Solis: “When they call me ‘regional Mexican’ I feel like I’m from a single region. ![]() ![]() However, for some, it may be a good idea, and there is even some newer research to back the idea up. There isn’t a clear-cut answer to this question, as not everyone needs to drink a protein shake at all, and many people don’t do well in terms of getting a good night’s sleep if they consume anything too close to bedtime. However, if you are going to try supplementation with protein shakes, what’s the best time to drink one? For example, is it good or bad to drink a protein shake before bed time?
