![]() But What About the Astronauts?: Before the atomic war that destroyed the world happened, several hundred humans was put to cryogenic sleep in relative safety on a moon base to ensure humanity's survival in case of an all-out war.The sole survivor's body is dissolved in the process, but the mind of the character is uploaded to AM's control system, from where they awake several hundred humans kept in cryogenic sleep on a lunar base and start a 300 year process of terraforming the Earth to make it habitable again. Four of the five characters are dead, but they did so when facing and overcoming their inner demons, which allowed the last survivor to take down AM. Big Red Devil: Or more like Man with Red Horns and a Sharp Red Tail.Beat Still My Heart: Gorrister's heart is removed, but AM makes sure he will not die.Badass Grandpa: Hunched, elderly and wrinkled-as-a-prune Nimdok manages to overpower a younger doctor and kill him with a scalpel in a matter of seconds.The Atoner: Several of the characters, particularly Nimdok, a former Nazi scientist working alongside Mengele.As Long as There Is Evil: In the good ending, AM delivers quite the powerful speech on this topic.The only exception is Nimdok, who allows AM the luxury of pretending his tortures are about justice rather than sadism. His victims were chosen, not out of a desire for justice, but based on how much fun they'd be to torture. An alternative view is that AM's personality is that of a sadistic bully.A much more sympathetic character than Ellen. Also, Gorrister's only real flaw was that he was blaming himself falsely for his wife's mental illness and death, when his mother-in-law was to blame. All the characters are deeply morally flawed, it's just that AM plays on the sources of those flaws. Secondly, she had a strong misandristic outlook on the other characters. You could say that she was always extremely proud of her outward rationality and disdainful of its absence in others, only to be a bag of neuroses within.She's the subject of torture simply because she was a victim of rape. Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Out of all the characters, Ellen had no serious moral flaw.He goes catatonic to the point where he doesn't even fall down. Armor-Piercing Question: Not a question in Nimdok's scenario so much as showing a mirror that shows a person's true self to Doctor Mengele.Showing compassion towards the prisoners in the death camp he has been sent to, he feels horrified when finding out the truth. Amnesiac Dissonance: Such is the case with Nimdok, who was a Nazi scientist working for Mengele and sent many Jews to their dooms, including his own parents.From spending years living in Brazil? From having spent a century burning inside an oven? Or for being Jewish, possibly of Sefardi lineage? ![]()

Antonio from amigo brothers3/4/2023 ![]() Whenever they had met in the ring for sparring sessions, it had always been hot and heavy. Antonio’s lean form and long reach made him the better boxer, while Felix’s short and muscular frame made him the better slugger. If asked a question about any given fighter, they would immediately zip out from their memory banks divisions, weights, records of fights, knockouts, technical knockouts, and draws or losses.Įach had fought many bouts representing their community and had won two gold-plated medals plus a silver and bronze medallion. Between them, they had a collection of Fight magazines second to none, plus a scrapbook filled with torn tickets to every boxing match they had ever attended and some clippings of their own. While some youngsters were into street negatives, Antonio and Felix slept, ate, rapped, and dreamt positive. Early morning sunrises would find them running along the East River Drive, wrapped in sweatshirts, short towels around their necks, and handkerchiefs Apache style around their foreheads. Every chance they had the boys worked out, sometimes at the Boys Club on 10th Street and Avenue A and sometimes at the pro’s gym on 14th Street. Antonio’s hair was always falling over his eyes, while Felix wore his black hair in a natural Afro style.Įach youngster had a dream of someday becoming lightweight champion of the world. They had known each other since childhood, growing up on the lower east side of Manhattan in the same tenement building on Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.Īntonio was fair, lean, and lanky, while Felix was dark, short, and husky. They were so together in friendship that they felt themselves to be brothers. Amigo Brothers (click title to view powerpoint)Īntonio Cruz and Felix Vargas were both seventeen years old.

Megaseg glitching out3/4/2023 ![]() If a DPC takes too long then the soundcard buffer runs out and you get an audible glitch. On Windows this makes them reliant on efficient DPC processing. With DJ'ing it is, so DJ applications run as low an audio latency as possible. It's not normally as issue for most programs because audio latency isn't critical so they can use a large buffer. My gig machine spikes a bit too - to but only to 100uS or so! DPCs are used to fill the audio buffer on a soundcard amongst other things. Personally my aim with a system is to not just get into the green, but to get as low in the green as possible. The fact that you are still getting yellow spikes shows that you do have a DPC issue somewhere and this will affect low latency audio. If you're suffering with stuttering then it's 99% a latency problem. Machine specifications don't tell everything about a system unfortunately - the real critical stuff is in the drivers and the BIOS and this can have a bigger impact on real time audio than your CPU and memory specs. There have been plenty of comments that VDJ7 sound is even better. RTA tools show that the un EQ'd sound output from VDJ6 is on a par with Traktor all things being equal. It's definitely a problem with your setup I'm afraid the sound quality from VDJ is fine. A graphical glitch which could occur when dragging plugin windows has been fixed. I'm pretty concerned that I might just have spent my hard-earned cash on a low quality product! Does anyone have any ideas as to a solution!? Thanks, Jord I tried playing through both the DJIO and the laptop sound card and both were just as terrible sounding. During the gig, I have monitored the temp of the CPU/GPU ect and they are all at an acceptable level. The laptop is fully virus/spyware/malware free and runs brilliantly with any other audio player / video player without stuttering, dropouts or a tinny sound. My computer is evidently beyond what should be required aswell, so I cannot see this being the problem. In short, it seems like latency isn't the problem. Disabled anti-virus, disabled non-critical system processes, fully defragged drive, set VDJ sound options to AUTO, have also tried with every level of selectable latency (ms), have also tried safe mode within VDJ. Have run a latency checker, disabled all non-critical devices including WLAN cards, Internal Sound cards, Webcam Driver, Fingerprint Scanner Driver etc and have managed to get the latency down to mainly green with the odd yellow spike. I'm using the Numark DJIO soundcard and have taken the following steps to no improvement in quality. ![]() LAPTOP SPECS Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9300 2.50GhZ 4.00gb RAM. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. I'm concerned we are going to lose the gig if we can't sort it out. I have tried almost everything I can and don't really know where else to go from here. The sound suffers from regular glitches, seems to momentarily speed up/down and is very tinny. I have to say, i'm seriously disappointed with the sound quality. A few days ago we decided to take the plunge and opt for VDJ 7 Pro. Hello, Myself and a friend have a regular gig in a local bar/club.

Clip art files free3/4/2023 ![]() The site was receiving over 5,000 unique visitors and 50,000 page views daily. ![]() Jon Phillips, Andy Fitzsimon, Bassel Safadi, Michi, Ronaldo Barbachano, and Brad Phillips added image thumbnails and improved search functions made the Openclipart library more user-friendly, which contributed to higher site traffic. The new site allowed anyone to easily browse and add to the Openclipart collection. The site introduced a change from the old ccHost software to the new AGPL-based Aiki Framework, a content management system made for Openclipart 2.0. ![]() Īn overhauled Openclipart 2.0 website went live as a beta in February 2010 with a full release in March 2010. The Openclipart packages received a few more incremental updates during 2010, mostly for seasonal clipart. The Openclipart package version 0.20 was released in 2010. Each package included most of the clipart to date, and they were manually sorted into categories. Downloadable Openclipart packages were released to help propagate the images in the library, and were available directly from the Openclipart website: as an add-on for various Linux distributions such as Fedora, and as an NSIS installer for Windows. In the early stages of the Openclipart project, the website lacked thumbnails and was difficult to browse. The project became known as Openclipart by April 2004, with the stated aim of making all its contributed images freely available in the public domain. The flag project progressed very well, resulting in a collection of over 90 flags made publicly available in SVG format, and broadened the project's goals to include generic clipart. The OCAL project initially grew out of a project started by Christian Schaller (Uraeus), who, on October 26, 2003, issued a challenge on the Gnome Desktop website for Sodipodi users to create a collection of flags in SVG format. The Openclipart library (OCAL) was established in early 2004 by Jon Phillips and Bryce Harrington, who had worked together to develop the open-source vector graphics suites Sodipodi and its successor, Inkscape. 2 Lockdown and attempts at mirroring the library.

Here, all proteins sharing peptide evidence are assembled into a table. This process can best be seen in Scaffold's Similarity View. Proteins for which there is no exclusive evidence are then eliminated from the protein identification list. In the Shared Peptide Grouping a protein is considered having independent evidence when it contains at least one exclusive unique peptide. However, independent evidence is defined differently in the two grouping algorithms. As in the case of the Legacy Protein Grouping, the Shared peptide Grouping algorithm thins down the list of proteins by eliminating any for which there is no independent evidence. Next, the protein list is pared down according to the principle of parsimony. These weights are also displayed in the Proteins View Peptide table in the column titled "Apportionments" which replaces the traditional "Assigned" column when the cluster grouping model is used. The Scaffold default cutoff is 0%.Īs an example, Figure 4 shows the peptides shared by multiple proteins with their related weights listed in the Similarity view.įigure 4. A peptide can be set "valid" either manually, by unchecking peptides in the Proteins View Peptide table or globally by using the Experiment menu option Reset Peptide Validation. This value is normalized by the sum of the exclusive peptide evidence for each of the proteins that contain peptide p. PE excl(A), the exclusive peptide evidence is defined as the sum of the probabilities of each exclusive unique valid peptide X belonging to protein A. Where W(p,a) is the weight assigned to shared peptide p contained in protein A and in other proteins. The weights are assigned using the following formula: Samples table, protein groupingįor the purpose of calculating the protein probabilities, shared peptides are apportioned among proteins according the a weighting function. The "preferred" or named protein is selected arbitrarily and may be changed by the user.įigure 3. These proteins appear in the Samples Table as a single line with the accession number of one of them followed by a plus sign and the number of other proteins in the group. In cases where two or more proteins share all of their peptides, there is no basis for discrimination among them and the proteins are treated as a unit called a protein group. Scaffold considers proteins that share peptide evidence. It then proceeds to form "Protein Groups" and assign weights to each shared peptide, see Weighting Function. Rather than assigning each peptide to a single protein, Shared Peptide Grouping includes a peptide in all of its matching proteins. The way shared Peptide Grouping assigns peptides to proteins is quite different from how it is done in the Legacy Peptide Grouping algorithm. Selecting the box for Protein Cluster Analysis and clicking Apply creates clusters using Shared Peptide Grouping and Protein Cluster Analysis.įor explanatory purposes, the grouping and clustering processes can be broken down into the following three phases: Note, this menu option is only found in a fully licensed version of Scaffold, not in a viewer. If during file loading, Protein Cluster Analysis is not selected, it can be reapplied to the already loaded data by going to the Experiment > Edit Experiment. Choosing this option enables the application of both Shared Peptide Grouping and Protein Cluster Analysis. The protein grouping option is selected during file loading by checking Use Protein Cluster Analysis in the Load and Analyze page of Scaffold's Load data Wizard. Scaffold also includes the option to assemble proteins into clusters based on shared peptide evidence using Protein Cluster Analysis. Shared Peptide Grouping is designed to lessen the probability of discarding a valid protein identification when the proteins happens to share peptides with another identified protein. Previous versions of Scaffold, prior to version 4, instead used a different grouping algorithm referred to as the Legacy Protein Grouping. Scaffold includes the option of applying a method of grouping proteins called Shared Peptide Grouping. ![]() ![]() Shared Peptide Grouping and Protein Cluster Analysis Displaying Clusters in the Samples Table- an Example.Clustering Algorithm at Work- an Example.Shared Peptide Grouping and Protein Cluster Analysis.The grouping and paring is achieved using different algorithms depending on whether the Protein Cluster Analysis is selected or not.

![]() Because you are often quoting not only the cost of your product but also the transportation cost, a reasonable time should be allowed for the buyer to respond, after which the proforma invoice is no longer valid. In addition, certain countries may require a proforma invoice if they tightly control their currency exchange rate, require an import permit or protect local industry by placing import quotas on certain types of goods.Ī proforma invoice should be valid for a specific period. An international sale often begins with a letter of inquiry from a potential buyer expressing interest in one or more of your products, outlining the terms of their interest and asking for an informal or formal quote.Īs discussed in the article How Does the Proforma Invoice Fit in the Export Process?, a buyer may request a quote in the form of a proforma invoice in order to arrange a letter of credit to pay for the goods or if they need to arrange financing for the purchase. And we'll look at the role each form plays in an export shipment.Ī proforma invoice is simply a quote prepared by the exporter to resemble a commercial invoice. In this article, we’ll examine the differences between the proforma and the commercial invoice-they're among the 11 most common export documents exporters need to understand. Shippers who don’t know better may think the two forms are interchangeable-but they’re not. A typical export process includes the use of both the proforma and commercial invoices.
