Subnautica below zero lithium9/14/2023 ![]() ![]() We’ve put the full list of searchable objects below. However, the range of the Mineral Detector is not far - we found it caps out at 50 meters at the very most - so players can only use it to home in on what they’re looking for, once they know they’re in the right area. This can allow you to find certain materials in the local area more easily. The Mineral Detector has numerous minerals and objects programmed into it, and when you select one, it begins to indicate on the screen with a green circle, as well as with an audio beeping, how close you are to it. Using the Mineral DetectorĮquipping the Mineral Detector automatically activates it, and begins to deplete the battery power, so don’t have it in your hand if you’re not using it for anything. These are all basic-enough materials that you can find in the starting area, so there’s no need to go beyond the Twisty Bridges in searching for them. Once you’ve scanned the broken versions of this tool, head back to any Fabricator and construct it with the following component materials: Delta Island (South from Drop Pod): -234, 31, -728.Floating Tech Site (Shallow Twisty Bridges at Surface Level): -125, 3, -198.Underwater Emergency Supply Cache (Arctic Kelp Forest Northwest of Drop Pod): -584, -33, 22.You only need to scan one, so simply pick whichever one you think is easiest or closest and head to that (we've included coordinated for PC players). Mineral Detector Blueprint Scan Locationīroken versions of the Mineral Detector for you to scan can be found in three locations, which we’ve outlined all of below. ![]() We’ll cover how to get the Blueprints first, as you won’t be able to do anything else without that. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to craft one in the Fabricator with basic materials. I came in through the top opening to find that the opening at the bottom was player-sized. The Mineral Detector in Subnautica Below Zero cannot be found anywhere, instead players will need to scan a broken version of this tool to add the blueprints to their PDA. r/SubnauticaBelowZero I got my prawn suit stuck in this ice cave in the Arctic spires.

Thug theory write this down lyrics9/14/2023 ![]() ![]() For example, this exact Notorious Thugz’ song could be notated in a 4/4 meter at 156 BPM (beats per minute, which is a mathematical measurement of tempo, the speed of a song), or in a 2/2 meter at 78 BPM. This makes the music sound twice as slow as it should be, since snares are only coming half as often as they should hence the term double-time. In double-time music, snares happen on the third beat of the bar, not the second, while bass kicks happen on beats 1, 2, and 4. This gives the music a strong, propulsive feel.ĭouble-time music upsets this straightforward feel a bit. Because of this, beats 1 and 3 generally have bass kicks land on them, while beats 2 and 4 have snares land on them. In a normal bar of rap music, beats 1 and 3 are the strong beats, while beats 2 and 4 are the weak beats. And we use beats, not minutes or seconds, to count music, because while we want minutes or seconds to always last the same amount of time so that everyone knows what we’re talking about when we use them, we want something else that can be fast OR slow in music, since some music is fast, and since some is slow. Just like 60 minutes make up an hour in everyday life, 4 beats make up a measure (another word for bar) in rap music. Beats are like the minutes of musical time, in that they’re a building block for it. In normal, non-double-time rap music, there are 4 beats to a bar. To talk about this more, let me make sure that we all know what a double-time beat is. That sounds kind of complex, so allow me to explain. That “way complicated” part to Bizzy’s rap that Ehab mentions, I think, is Bizzy’s ability to place notes in multiple rhythmic positions, each of which have various rhythmic meanings, over a double-time beat. >singing too fast doesn’t make you a goddamn skilled rapper but when it comes to Bizzy l’ve always felt something different and way complicated. As the reader, Ehab, who requested this analysis said in his original e-mail to me: Bizzy Bone is an expert at realizing this and taking advantage of it, and I believe that this is what separates him from Twista. ![]() The fact that the beat is slower actually means that the rappers have MORE musical positions in which to place their notes. ![]() The fact that the beat is in double-time doesn’t just mean that the beat is slower, however. The song is in a double-time flow, so the rapper either really has to rap slow to match the beat, or rap quickly, to act as a counterpoint to it. album, and Bizzy is on it! I obviously knew Biggie started it off, but I didn’t realize the guy after him was Bizzy - I just thought it was some random Junior Mafia member, who do many of the other cameos throughout the rest of the album.Īnyway, “Notorious Thugz” is one of the most unique songs in Biggie’s entire catalogue, in my opinion, because his flow is so much quicker here than it is on almost every other song he made. Scratch that - I THOUGHT I didn’t know any of his stuff, but as it turns out, “Notorious Thugz” is one of my favorite songs from that B.I.G. So, I haven’t talked about Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony much in my writing not because I didn’t think he was good, but only because I didn’t know any of his stuff. ![]()

Low amniotic fluid at 37 weeks symptoms9/14/2023 ![]() ![]() is to induce labor at term if a mother has low amniotic fluid in an otherwise healthy pregnancy. This is a great question and I felt like it was a perfect topic for my first article for Science and Sensibility. I'm also curious about causes of low fluid (theorized or known), risks of low fluid, and perhaps as important if not more so, measurements of low fluid.' What does the research say about low fluid at or near term? From what I've been able to see in research summaries at least, there appears to be no improved outcome for babies, but I'd love to see the research really hashed out. 'Low fluid seems to be the new 'big baby' for pushing for induction. This question came from one of my readers: I look forward to future posts and collaboration with Rebecca and thank her for her contribution today.- SM ![]() ![]() Look for an interview with Rebecca in an upcoming post where we will learn how this Assistant Professor of Nursing who teaches pathopharmacology and studies depression in patients with heart failure ended up writing the Evidence Based Birth blog appreciated by birth professionals.

Their tusks, oil, skin, and meat were so sought after in the 18th and 19th centuries that the walrus was hunted to extinction in the Gulf of St. ![]() Only Native Americans are currently allowed to hunt walruses, as the species' survival was threatened by past overhunting. Female Pacific walruses give birth to calves during the spring migration north. Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea-where they are found on the pack ice in winter-to the Chukchi Sea. The two subspecies of walrus are divided geographically. Their blubbery bodies allow them to live comfortably in the Arctic region-walruses are capable of slowing their heartbeats in order to withstand the polar temperatures of the surrounding waters. As their favorite meals, particularly shellfish, are found near the dark ocean floor, walruses use their extremely sensitive whiskers, called mustacial vibrissae, as detection devices. The walrus' other characteristic features are equally useful. ![]() Male walruses, or bulls, also employ their tusks aggressively to maintain territory and, during mating season, to protect their harems of females, or cows. Their tusks, which are found on both males and females, can extend to about three feet (one meter), and are, in fact, large canine teeth, which grow throughout their lives. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their "tooth-walking" label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below. Walruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. Both male and female walruses have tusks and have been observed using these overgrown teeth to help pull themselves out of the water. ![]()

Papps that make a video speed up9/14/2023 ![]() ![]() A higher frame rate video leads to smooth speed ramping because of the number of frames in the video. Slow-motion videos are typically best for the speed-ramping effect because of the high frame rate that it was shot at. This technique was made popular in films through Zach Snyder who famously used this technique in the movie 300. A speed ramp typically works best by speeding up slow-motion footage for a short period of time before slowing it down again. This is a great technique for corporate videos or for hyper-stylized filmmakers who need this effect in their workflow. Speed ramping is the process of digitally speeding up and then slowing down a video clip. Why would you want to change video speed? With the native plugin, you can automatically generate captions and transcribe your content in 100 different languages. Note: Simon Says can add even more simplicity to working with subtitles in DaVinci Resolve. This beginner’s DaVinci Resolve tutorial for mac and windows devices will go over how to make speed changes inside DaVinci Resolve 17 and DaVinci Resolve 18. While typically known as a color grading and color correction tool, DaVinci Resolve is an incredibly capable editor that has an amazing speed effect. NLEs such as Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere Pro CC have made speed-ramping footage more accessible than ever. Now, speeding up a clip can be done right in post-production. ![]() In the past, speeding up a clip would have to be done in the production phases using some sort of high-speed camera. Today’s video editing programs simplify many aspects of production. ![]()

Male black butler characters9/13/2023 ![]() While he appears somewhat callous in the anime, such as not hesitating to throw a dart at Finnian and causing the gardener to bleed, in the manga, Finnian notes that he is loyal to Ciel because Ciel does not hurt him. Before the loss of his parents, Ciel seemed to be a happy childlike child.Ĭiel seems to be highly reliant on Sebastian and does not appear to interact with other staff members as often, though they are all devoted to him. He is a little close to his cousin and fiancée Elizabeth, seeing her as an annoying cute friend, the marriage was arranged, though Ciel is not so fond of Elizabeth that way other than just family. There have been times when he wishes for Sebastian to fail at a task or request for humor's sake. Although, that said, there was one time that proved Sebastian was the most important person to him. Whether he worries for Sebastian's well-being or not is unknown, but ultimately he sees Sebastian as a pawn. He sometimes portrays himself as a happy person (mostly when undercover), but soon returns to his true self. He is usually portrayed as emotionless, cold, boring, not fun, rude, and un-childlike, though he occasionally expresses concern for the well-being of the few close to him Sebastian is not one of those people. This is a negative influence of the trauma he underwent during his time as a slave. If stressed, he will slap someone touching him away, proclaiming "Don't touch me so easily!" He also once pointed a gun at Sebastian that he had hidden underneath his pillow, for he was having a nightmare of being tortured (supposedly provoked from reading Edgar Allan Poe before bed). He does not want anyone to see this mark and appears to not enjoy physical contact, though he tolerates Sebastian and does not complain when the demon picks him up or holds him. ![]() In the manga the mark is found on the left side of his back. During his time as a slave, a mark was burned into his back in the anime adaption, it is found on his left side, near his chest. He then commanded the demon to kill all the people in the room. During one particular instance where Ciel was being tortured, his hatred for his torturers summoned Sebastian. He also says that demons mark their prey so that they can locate them.Īfter his parents' deaths and prior to meeting Sebastian, he was a slave and a sacrifice in a cult ritual. Sebastian says that the mark on Ciel is proof of their contract. ![]() His right eye, which is usually covered with a black eye patch, bears a pentacle, the sign of the Faustian contract he made with the demon Sebastian. He also has a side as the "Queen's Watchdog" who punishes evil and disturbs the order in Great Britain's underworld. He runs the Funtom Company, which is Great Britain's foremost toy and sweet manufacturer, with the later addition of a food branch after winning a Royal Warrant. Earl Ciel Phantomhive (シエル・ファントムハイヴ Shieru Fantomuhaibu) born on Decemis the business-savy, egotistical 12-year-old (13-year-old as of chapter 14) and the head of the English Phantomhive noble family after the deaths of his parents, Lord Vincent Phantomhive and Lady Rachel Phantomhive. ![]() |
