Hades orpheus diamond7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Very rare are the representations of Cerberus in ancient statuary. Virgil gets past the monster by throwing mud in his three mouths, temporarily choking him. With his three mouths, Dante saw Cerberus as a beast that was synonymous with the sin of Gluttony. ![]() In "The Inferno", Dante places Cerberus as the guardian of the third circle of Hell. ![]() Only on three occasions Cerberus was tricked by visitors of Hades: Heracles did it with his strength, Orpheus with his music. Painted in black to amplify his menacing look, the infernal guardian is depicted with his famous attributes, writhing his heads, growling and barking furiously.Ĭerberus, in Greek mythology, was the monstrous watchdog of the underworld – also known as the “hound of Hades” – preventing the dead from leaving, and making sure that those who entered never left.Ī child of Typhon and Echidna, he was part of a monstrous family, which included Orthus, the Lernaean Hydra, and the Chimaera as well.

Thiodoon golf balls7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() The Night Eagle CV LED Golf Balls last about 30 hours. They also appreciated the balls’ light-activation feature: When you want to activate or deactivate a ball, simply shine a light over its sensor.Ĭontinuous voltage does mean shorter battery life, however. These are continuous-voltage golf balls, meaning batteries continue to supply their LED lights with power until you manually deactivate them.Ĭustomers report enjoying not feeling rushed to find or hit their ball before the light fades. If you’re tired of having your glow-in-the-dark ball lose its UV glow or deactivate before you have a chance to retrieve it, check out the Night Eagle CV LED Golf Balls. 3-layer design to replicate regular balls Now that’s a deal you won’t want to miss. Still, aside from the typical trade-offs that come with swapping a UV golf ball for an LED one, Cipton is offering a pack of three exceptionally bright golf balls for about $20. One other drawback is that you won’t know how many hits to expect from each ball until you put them to the test. (You can either tap the ball or strike it with your club to activate it.) We did, however, come across some mentions that the balls might sporadically stay lit for only a minute or two. If you’re not looking to sink too much money into a pack of glow-in-the-dark golf balls but don’t want to throw quality to the wayside, check out the Cipton Light Up Golf Balls Glow Led in their three-pack option.Īccording to customer reviews, they’re surprisingly bright and stay consistently lit for the advertised eight-minute duration - with some customers reporting duration times of up to 13 minutes. Type: UV light | Colors: 1 | Duration: Up to 10 min. The GlowV1 balls are available in sets of two, six, and 12. On the glow side of the equation, the GlowV1 balls provide a consistently bright glow for up to 10 minutes.Īnd when you’re prepping for the first stroke of the night or need to recharge your ball midplay, the GlowV1 set comes with a UV flashlight that recharges the balls in under 60 seconds. In fact, you can use the same club at night that you’d use during the day and expect a similar - if not identical - shot performance. With their compression core and soft urethane skin, the GlowV1 balls are designed to maintain the energy transfer and shot distance you’d expect from tour-quality daytime balls. ![]() In other words, the GlowGear GlowV1 balls are the most well-rounded of the bunch. We’re ranking the GlowGear GlowV1 Night Golf Balls as the Best Overall because customers consistently praised both their responsiveness and brightness. (After all, even casual night golfers want the practice they put in during the day to pay off after dark.) Based on online customer reviews, we compared each ball’s brightness, glow duration, and durability and considered how well each ball mimics the play of a normal golf ball. We did our homework to learn what customers are saying about the glow-in-the-dark golf balls they purchased and tried out for themselves. Staff favorite: GlowGear GlowV1 Night Golf Balls with UV Flashlightīest runner-up: BattlePulse Glow in the Dark Golf Ballsīest brightness: Crestgolf Glow in the Dark Golf Ballsīest budget: Cipton Light Up Golf Balls Glow Ledīest quality: THIODOON Glow in the Dark Golf Ballsīest continuous glow: Night Eagle CV LED Golf Ballsīest UV-powered: R&L Glow Golf Balls How we chose the best glow-in-the-dark golf balls That’s why we’re shining a light on the best golf balls for nighttime. Whether you want to play a riveting game of night golf or earn bragging rights, your choice of glow-in-the-dark golf balls can make or break your experience. ![]() Some even sign up for night golf tournaments to scratch that competitive itch. Golfers who want to try something a little different - and escape the daytime heat while doing so - are hitting the course at night for some casual fun. If you’re looking for a fresh way to play your favorite game and see the course in a whole new light, why not give nighttime golf a try? While you may struggle getting your rangefinder to ping the flag stick in the dark, courses across the country are no longer closing up shop when the sun goes down - they’re lighting up their putting greens with glow sticks instead. ![]()

Dying light nightmare mode costume7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() The Following’s Advanced settings can be found in the same place as Campaign, except that The Following must be selected instead of Campaign while selecting the Play option in main menu. The Following doesn't have NG option, however it's still possible to restart its story using the options in The Following’s Advanced menu.New Game ability, as well as difficulty options will not appear in the save's Advanced menu if Bozak Horde or any DLC-based Quarantine Zone are the currently tracked quest.You'll be able to immediately see everything on map that is already explored. Starting NG will not reset the explored areas in Slums and Old Town.Starting NG will not reset time records in challenges, such as Parkour Fever and Bozak Horde.Starting NG will not affect the progression of your bounties.There should be only one folder in userdata, but if logged multiple Steam accounts there will be multiple folders as well. In case somebody wants to clear their Personal Statistics, a file called default.pro can be found that stores Personal Statistics here - Steam\userdata\\239140\remote\out\profiles\.Starting NG will not affect Personal Statistics.Attaining Legend skills is a very good way to offset this slight increase in difficulty. Game status will permanently follow the character wherever gone, including any Co-Op games joined, as well as in The Bozak Horde and even in Be The Zombie mode, slightly making things harder for the character to handle.With the help of NG ability, it's possible to earn all the outfits by starting NG on each difficulty and reaching 100 % story, however if starting NG on Hard or Nightmare, the difficulty must not be downgraded, other's games joined until reached 100 % story and unlock Rewards, as doing this will break the ability to receive Rewards. Earning outfits from Normal difficulty is very easy as all that has to be done is to reach the 100 % completion while playing on Normal mode. Each difficulty has Rewards, there are two outfits for each difficulty (totalling 6 outfits) that are earned when reaching 100 % story completion on that difficulty.All enemies are buffed with small health increase on Game , this is most noticeable in Nightmare mode.The backup and restore method mentioned here is a good way to preserve your old save while also using it in NG . The only way to revert back is to make a back up of your save before starting NG . The Game status received after starting NG cannot be reversed.It's possible to play with somebody who hasn't yet started NG and vice versa.Game status is also independent in joined co-op games.Normal will be changed into Normal Game , Hard will be changed into Hard Game and Nightmare into Nightmare Game , even if NG has only been started on Normal mode. This means that when starting NG , it doesn't matter which difficulty is chosen (Unless it's for Rewards), all difficulties played on afterwards will be also applied with Game status. ![]() Game status is independent with other dificulties.Starting NG will neither create another save nor affect other saves.Starting NG will apply permanent Game status to the current save on which NG has been started with.Possible difficulties to start NG with are Story mode, Normal, Hard and Nightmare mode. Difficulty options can be found in the same Advanced settings mentioned above. It should be noted though that changing the difficulty can be done at anytime without starting NG . NG extends Dying Light’s replay value, making it possible to restart the Campaign in a new or same difficulty while keeping character skills, inventory, and collections. Both story and game completion percentage can also be viewed from the main menu, but only story completion is necessary for NG option to unlock. Story completion percentage can be found in the top right corner while the game is paused, next to the current quest and difficulty.

Lightning protection system types7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() The distance between these two rods can be increased because they increase from the gap. The arrangement of these metal rods can be done around a small air gap. The types are Horn Gap ArrestersĪs the name suggests, this arrestor has two metal rods in horn-shaped. It provides a low resistance pathway to the surges in the direction of the ground. The construction of lightning arrestors is different based on its type but the working principle is the same. Generally, lightning arresters are classified into different types. Further, the current flow toward the ground will be stopped. Once the voltage of the system falls under the fixed value, then the insulation will be restored among the ground & conductor. So it will break down the insulation of the lightning arrestor for a moment, so voltage surge can be discharged toward the ground. Difficult to maintain (electrical continuity check, identification of the parts of the structure involved in the protection, etc.Lightning arrestor working principle is, once the voltage surge travels throughout the conductor then it reaches the location of the arrestor where it is installed.Simplification of the installation and reduction of costs.Protection by «natural» components Advantages The catenary wires can be a danger in handling areas where lifting equipment is used.Often not aesthetic due to the complexity of the structure.Contributes to overall equipotential between the conducting structures and ground.Spreading of lightning currents over several down conductors ![]()

Usb3 ssd benchmark7/2/2023 ![]() Things also look amazing on Anvil’s Storage Utilities where we got an overall score of 7,943.47 from this SSD Enclosure. Impressive speeds for a portable SSD enclosure! Next up we have ATTO Disk Benchmark 4.01.0f1 and at the default settings (QD4) we were hitting sequential transfer speeds of up to 1.94 GB/s read and 1.99 GB/s write. This is a downside to building your own enclosure, but luckily a solution was available that fixed the issue we were encountering. We then noticed that there was a firmware update available for the Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS and we never experienced a BSOD again. When we switched the ASUS U32 20G Enclosure over to the ‘new’ SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps port the sequential transfer speeds jumped up to 2086 MB/s read and 2126 MB/s write.ĭuring or initial testing of the ASUS U32 20G Enclosure we encountered a number of system crashes with stop code: DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION that only occurred when the enclosure was being used. We first tested the enclosure on a ‘normal’ SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps port and found that we were getting sequential numbers around 1033 MB/s read and 952 MB/s write. The first benchmark that used for performance testing is CrystalDiskMark 7.0.0 圆4. All ASMedia controllers are being used for the SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps test setup. There is also a small piece of thermal padding on the back of the drive that makes contact with the ASM2364 bridge controller. ASUS is using a thermal pad to help dissipate heat from the M.2 NVMe drive used in the enclosure to the aluminum housing. Inside the M.2 NVMe SSD enclosure you’ll find an ASMedia ASM2364 USB 3.2 2×2 to PCIe NVMe SSD bridge controller. This board has only one SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps port and it is located on the rear I/O panel. AMD and Intel both do not have native chipset support for SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps, so a third party controller is necessary. This motherboard is compatible with the latest SuperSpeed USB 20 Gbps standard (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2) since ASUS went the extra mile and placed an ASMedia ASM3242 USB 3.2 2×2 host controller on the board. For that we turned to the AMD TRX40 platform and to be specific the ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme motherboard. To test out a ASUS U32 20G enclosure we needed a platform that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2. Performance Benchmarks on SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps All USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 products use the Type-C connector, but not all USB-C ports are capable of reaching 20Gbps.Ĭonfused yet? The table below will likely help clear things up. It is able to reach this speed by using two USB 3.2 Gen 2 lanes. The newest and fastest version of USB 3.2 is called USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps). USB 3.1 (10Gbps) is called USB 3.2 Gen 2. USB 3.0 (5Gbps) is now called USB 3.2 Gen 1. ![]() By doing this the new USB 3.2 branding now encompasses the old USB 3.0 and 3.1 standards. The trade group USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) renamed USB 3.1 to USB 3.2 earlier this year. Eventually it will gain broader support when pricing comes down and we expect it to become a standard feature a few years down the road. You won’t find SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps ports on mainstream motherboards though as it is currently a feature found on high-end motherboards like the ASUS Prime X299 Edition 30 ( $749.99 shipped) and the ASUS ROG Zenith II Extreme ( $849.99 shipped). ![]() ![]() Motherboards and storage devices supporting SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps ports are just now coming to market. The ASUS U32 20G enclosure will probably be around $40 or less and boasts theoretical maximum data transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps or 2.5 GB/s. Legit Reviews managed to get our hands on an early sample of the upcoming ASUS ROG USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps) enclosure. SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps Arrives (USB 3.2 Gen 2×2) ![]()

Age of empires games7/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Before that date, it was widely believed that Microsoft would shut down the Games for Windows - Live service (which Online relied upon) that same day, but the company later announced in June 2014 that only AoEO is shutting down that day, not the entire GFWL service. On January 3, 2013, it was announced on the official blog that Online would have no further content added, though support will be continued for the game. The free-to-play model has also been revamped, allowing persistent players to earn in-game currency to purchase paid content without paying a dime. Initially released with just the Greek civilisation, the Egyptians, Persians, Celts, Babylonians and Norse have since been added. They can embark on quests along the way, alone or with friends, and to "immerse themselves in epic tales, quirky characters, adventure, history and strategy." The game also includes Live Achievements. The game, made by Gas Powered Games, is intended to enable players "to create a living, growing online world, shared with friends and friendly rivals around the globe, players can develop their own persistent online civilization, which grows even when the player is offline and watch as it progresses from a village to an empire. The announcement broke the base almost immediately. Another spiritual successor, 0 A.D., is being developed (it's still an alpha, though).Īge of Empires Online, however, turned out to be very much in production. There was also a spiritual successor in the form of Empire Earth, which was developed by the very same creator of Age of Empires and released on November 23, 2001. In addition, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is Age of Empires IN SPACE (LucasArts used the AOE II engine) and Ensemble developed an RTS based on the Halo series, Halo Wars, which was Ensemble Studios' swan song, as Microsoft closed them down on 1/29/09.
