![]() The developers intention for the game was for it to be a total remake of Valve s award-winning Half-Life. Black Mesa Inbound reveals Gordon's first and last name, his education, research position, and other information. Black Mesa (original known as Black Mesa: Source) is a third-party mod (and standalone game 1) created by Crowbar Collective on an experimental, hybrid version of the Source Engine 2.The Black Mesa Research Facility (also simply called Black Mesa) is a fictional underground laboratory complex that serves as the primary setting for the video game Half-Life and its expansions, as well as its remake, Black Mesa. Black Mesa Inbound marks the first ever appearance of The G-Man, seen in an opposing tram. Gordon Freeman, Barney Calhoun, Eli Vance.The Tram ride is roughly 3 Minutes from the beginning to the end.

Walker phones Mainwaring, then mysteriously vanishes. That evening, while out on patrol, Frazer and Walker spot a German plane crash into the reservoir. ![]() When a queue begins to form, Walker cons them into believing that telephone calls are going on ration from tomorrow. Pike is the first to get the lesson, but the recipient of the call is his mum, who gives Mainwaring and Wilson an earful. After a hilarious practical demonstration, they march down to the telephone box nearest the reservoir. Pike and Godfrey admit they do not know how to use a telephone box Mrs Pike believes they are unhygienic and Godfrey is hopeless with machines. Frazer asks Mainwaring what will happen if the telephone boxes are out of action, and many alternatives are suggested, including a heliograph, tick-tacking, shooting a hole in the top of the gasometer and setting fire to it, and tapping the railway line and laying your ear onto it (Pike dismisses this idea by telling Jones that a train may come and run over your ear). If they see anything suspicious, they will phone Mainwaring via the nearest telephone box. They are vital to the town's survival, so two men will be posted at each location. Apparently, the four main targets are the gasometer, the railway bridge, the telephone exchange and the reservoir. It was originally transmitted on 25 September 1969.Ĭaptain Mainwaring teaches the platoon how to use a public telephone box for emergency communication.Īfter a successful exercise in camouflage, Mainwaring delivers a lecture on communications. " The Lion Has 'Phones" is the third episode of the third series of the British comedy series Dad's Army. 3rd episode of the 3rd series of Dad's Army " The Lion Has Phones" What would happen if it were to spend a year at the hands of a professional typist is a frightening question. This is expected to occur on very frequently used keys after some time, such as on the WASD keys of someone who is gaming daily for several months however, this happened on almost all of the keycaps of the Apex within a few days of heavy typing. Within that short time period, the keycaps of the Apex have already begun to show obvious signs of wear (i.e. These ten days usually include the typing of at least twenty pages every day and some mild gaming. As with all keyboards reviewed here, the Apex has been used for seven to ten days, to get a feeling of the keyboard's quality and behavior. ![]() The rest may be used for non-critical gaming actions, like messages and inventory equipment swaps, but obviously it's not possible to reach any of those from the WASD area while gaming without moving your hand away from the normal WASD location.įinally, the quality of the SteelSeries Apex Gaming keyboard is troubling. In addition, from a practical point of view, only the four (maybe six) top macro keys are usable while gaming. Some or all of the keys that are being held pressed might stop registering, or the key that has been pressed might not register at all. Outside these areas, it is hard for even two keys to register simultaneously, but the real problem is that they will also interfere with the keys inside the anti-ghosting areas.įor example, W-A and Space will all register together, but pressing X or Tab in the process will cause abnormal behavior. However, if another key is pressed, chaos ensues. True enough, up to six of these keys can be pressed simultaneously and all will register. It will work great as long as the game is restricted within the 20 keys that are included in the anti-ghosting areas. The only thing that will require a learning curve is the position of the media keys and ESC key, as seasoned users will instinctively reach to the edge of the keyboard and press the wrong keys instead.įor gaming, the SteelSeries Apex is a double-edged sword and some of its features are practically unusable. ![]() Multiple layers that can be changed on the fly are handy, especially for those that have a gaming profile with multiple modified keys and need a sub-layer for basic functions, such as chatting. It is comfortable to use, the extra macro keys can be programmed to launch favorite webpages and applications, and its programmability allows the user to adjust the function of any key at will. For everyday use, the SteelSeries Apex will do great and in some ways it's even better than common membrane keyboards. Of course it lacks the travel and feeling of mechanical keys the keys of the Apex feel mushy and need to bottom out in order to register, which is the way all membrane keyboards work. In terms of feel, key travel and comfort, the SteelSeries Apex feels just like any good membrane keyboard. ![]() “They discovered a method to roll a level-one character, which ran to the major cities. Olivia Grace, contributing editor of website WoW Insider, said: “It was a significant hack. “Earlier today, certain realms were affected by an in-game exploit, resulting in the deaths of player characters and non-player characters in some of the major cities,” wrote a representative going by the name of Nethaera, on Sunday. Writing in an online forum, Blizzard said it was taking the action “very seriously”. Numbers had dipped from a peak of 12 million in 2010 to 9.1 million at the beginning of 2012, but have swelled since the release at the end of September of an expansion called the Mists of Pandaria. More than 10 million subscribers play World of Warcraft (WoW), almost half are believed to be in China. Game creator Blizzard Activision has appealed for information, but added: “This exploit has already been hot-fixed, so it should not be repeatable.” They appear to have created a character able to destroy those of other players and those controlled by the game. Hackers have massacred all the virtual characters in some of online adventure game World of Warcraft’s major cities. It seems some Inventive hackers have managed to roll a LvL1 Character that was able to wipe out the entire population of players and NPCs in the games main cities! (It is uncertain what server)īeing a former WoW player I can understand how frustrating and annoying this would have been BUT not being a WoW player any-more, I find it rather amusing… Reminds me of the ‘Make Love not Warcraft’ episode of SouthPark… Staaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn! ![]() The pneumonia severity index was used as a level of confidence. Present study, chest CT was considered as a reference standard and The objective of the present study was to compareĭiagnostic parameters of lung ultrasound with chest X-ray inĬhildren with suspected pneumonia, in a Chinese setting. Suggested to be insensitive and has relatively low accuracy The chest X-ray is typically requestedīy pediatricians in children with suspected pneumonia ( 12), however, this method has been Typically used in routine clinical practice or included as aĭiagnostic method for pneumonia in children ( 11). Operator-dependent and requires skilled sonographers ( 10), therefore, ultrasonography is not Lung ultrasound is a promisingĪdjunctive technique in patients with community-acquired pneumonia,īy which radiation can be avoided ( 8) and secondary technical parameters (forĮxample, a thinner chest wall) can be successfully evaluated Subpleural lung consolidation in adults with pneumonia ( 7). However, MRI is rarely the preferredĬhoice for the evaluation of pulmonary parenchyma due to theĭecreased likelihood of having proton content in the lungs, as wellĪs possible respiratory and cardiac pulsation artifacts ( 5). Tissues and the provision of high soft-tissue contrast ( 5). The lack of ionizing radiation, the ability to better characterize Resonance imaging (MRI) has several advantages over CT, including Of lung diseases, except for pleural effusions ( 3), but has a high risk of radiation Indeed, CT is the only imaging technique that can assess the wholeĭisplays the highest sensitivity and specificity for the majority User-friendly, but also allows the characterization of the lung Provides a three-dimensional view, which not only makes it Lateral view chest X-ray, to decrease radiological exposure With suspected pneumonia, the diagnosis is confirmed by a single Pneumonia is a leading cause of disease among In conclusion, lung ultrasound is a non‑invasive and simple method that could be used for the diagnosis of suspected pneumonia in children. For a pneumonia severity index of <3, the chest CT displayed a good beneficial score, followed by the lung ultrasound and chest radiograph. Compared with the chest CT, the lung ultrasound displayed 0.906 sensitivity and 0.661 accuracy, while the chest radiograph displayed 0.793 sensitivity and 0.559 accuracy. ![]() The chest CT successfully detected a liquefied area, enhancement and necrosis of the lungs. The lung ultrasound successfully detected pleural effusion and perilesional inflammatory edema. ![]() The chest radiograph successfully detected subpleural lung consolidation and dense lung opacity. Beneficial score analysis for each diagnostic modality was evaluated according to the pneumonia severity index. Data regarding the chest radiograph, lung ultrasound and chest CT were collected and analyzed. Medical records of 949 children, aged ≤16 years, with suspected pneumonia were reviewed. The objective of the present study was to compare diagnostic parameters of lung ultrasound with chest X‑ray in children with suspected pneumonia, using CT as a reference standard. Lung ultrasonography can identify subpleural lung consolidation in adults, but it is not accepted in routine clinical practice and is also not used for the diagnosis of children with pneumonia. ![]() Computed tomography (CT) allows for the characterization of the consolidation in pneumonia but has a high risk of radiation exposure in children. The chest X‑ray is routinely requested by pediatricians for children with suspected pneumonia, but has been demonstrated to be an insensitive method with relatively low accuracy. However, Eclipse is considered much harder to learn and use than IntelliJ IDEA, meaning it can be difficult for beginner developers. Because IntelliJ IDEA Community doesn’t have the full functionality of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, and Eclipse is closer to IntelliJ IDEA in terms of functionality, the comparison between the free products falls in favor of Eclipse. ![]() The key differentiators between the two products are mainly centered around usability/learning curve, and price. That’s because Eclipse, like IntelliJ IDEA, is a mature, fully-featured IDE that dramatically improves the development experience. EclipseĪs mentioned earlier, the top two spots for our best Java IDEs list is basically a toss-up. IntelliJ IDEA is relatively expensive, so that cost can be prohibitive to small teams with limited budgets.įor larger, well-funded development teams, IntelliJ IDEA (with JRebel) is often a top pick. But these features are also highly customizable, meaning IntelliJ IDEA can be a popular choice among beginners and experts alike. Many of the features in IntelliJ IDEA lend themselves to beginners. They also offer discounts for non-profits, former student users, and startups. JetBrains also offers free licenses to students and teachers, to open source projects, and for classroom use at the university, college, and school levels. For individual use, that price lowers to $149/year, decreasing to $119/year in year two, and to $89/year in year three and beyond. For organizations, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate starts at $499/user/year, lowering to $399/user/year in year two, and $299/user/year in year three and beyond. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate is available under several pricing models. Supports new language features: IntelliJ IDEA is typically fast to support new Java language features, as they’re added. Version control: For developers using GitHub, IntelliJ IDEA allows users to log project progress without leaving the IDE. Quick fixes: IntelliJ IDEA detects code usage errors, highlights the offending code in your editor window, and provides instructions for how to fix the issue. Navigate to duplicates: IntelliJ IDEA helps users easily find and remove duplicate pieces of code. Smart Code Completion: When writing code, IntelliJ IDEA provides suggestions as you go. It’s also highly extensible, and sports a large marketplace for libraries and plugins (including JRebel). Many of those features, like code completion, are highly customizable, and can be tuned to fit the needs of the individual developer. It’s full-featured, meaning it has a long list of productivity-enhancing features that make it a must-have for many Java developers. IntelliJ IDEA is the most popular Java IDE in use today. With that in mind, our list of the 3 best Java IDEs to use in 2022 runs as follows: And in the case of our rankings, we don’t perfectly align with overall popularity of the IDE.īecause IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse are so comparable in terms of overall benefit, we used popularity to break the tie. ![]() ![]() Īdoption, of course, is typically a good way to judge the quality of available offerings - but depending on the audience you ask, the percentage of developers using one, or another IDE will vary. *UPDATE: Be sure to see what's changed in the latest version of our Java Developer Productivity Report.

I’d recommend taking your seatruck with an upgraded depth module, and heading down to the Margeurit beacon. AL-AN Skeletonįor this you’ll need a vehicle that can dive to 650+ meters, or some serious bravery to swim down there on limited oxygen. This doesn’t always work though so it’s best to keep exploring, but here are the most important ones to help you get through it in double time. There are numerous alien facilities throughout the game and most of the time AL-AN will, occasionally, drop a beacon to guide you to them. There’ll be some jellyfish along the way but they’re virtually harmless, then once on land head away from the bridge and move through the caves to reach Phi Robotics. Phi Robotics centre is found by heading in a westerly direction from the twisty spires and staying near the surface, until you find the dock allowing you to get up onto the surface. Head inside and you’ll have found Delta labs. You’ll likely pass the purple vents and reach the lilly pad islands, you’re looking for the largest floating island a few entrances on its sides at its midsection on the outside. Failing that, from delta islands east shore start heading in a east-southeast direction. By this point Marguerit will have made her appearance, and so you can work your way over to her ‘last known location’ beacon. Make sure you have a sturdy vehicle before making this journey as there will be several dangerous creatures along the way. Eventually you’ll come to a cave that you enter, and will allow you to surface on the other side and explore outpost zero. Outpost Zeroįrom the starting base, stay underwater and follow the ice wall along to the east. Inside is loads of goodies but make sure you have a full tank and a seaglide as the seatruck can’t fit inside the door (easily, not worth the risk of getting it stuck) to make quick trips down into the mines until you get the prawn suit later on. The Koppa mining site is located to the southwest of Delta island, at a depth of around 140m in an open pit. ![]() Keep going through here until reach a sudden drop off that then leads into the thermal vents, which are surrounding that island. ![]() Delta Islandĭelta Island is right in the middle of the map, leave the safe starting area and head towards the twisty spires. There are several outposts for you to discover on this map, but reaching them can be a little tricky to the uninitiated. ![]() How would you do that? A possible way is to take a field and divide it into 20 pieces, and plant tomatoes here. You ask yourself, which fertilizer should I choose? Which fertilizer produces more tomatoes than the other? In order to answer this question, you set up a small experiment. Let's call them fertilizer A and fertilizer B. For this, you experiment with two different fertilizers. Imagine you are growing tomatoes, and you wish to maximize the yield, and that is the total amount of kilograms of tomatoes that you are harvest. To stay in the spirit of Gosset, let's take a look at an example from agriculture. And this is the learning objective for this video. The two sample t-test is a method to compare means of two groups. For me the story shows that statistics is used to solve problems people encounter in their work and who knows, maybe in your life as well. And this is why the two sample t-test is now also known as a student's t-test. Therefore, he was forced to publish his work under the pseudonym Student. ![]() For confidentiality reasons Gosset wasn't allowed to publish the result under his own name. And to be able to determine which barley had the best use. To deal with this, he developed a special test to be able to draw conclusions from small samples. Therefore, he was faced with only very small samples. And as it is obviously very time consuming to produce barley, he could do not too many trials. Gosset applied his statistical knowledge, to select the best-yielding varieties of barley. He studied chemistry and mathematics and upon graduating he started to work for the Guinness Brewery. This man is called William Sealy Gosset and he lived in England around 1900. So I really want to share this story with you as well. For me, his story shows me that statistics is about solving daily problems and not about abstract formulas and mathematics. It is this story of this man that made me realize that I really like statistics. The professor in front of the group is telling us a story about this man. And around me are sitting about 20 other students. The sun is shining through the window on my left. I am sitting in a medium sized classroom. |
