Principality of redhand2/1/2024 Zeech was killed in the final battle, and Alhaster, Zeech's capital, was reduced to a ruin. While Kyuss entered Oerth for a short time, he was in a weakened state and destroyed before he could establish his power. In CY 578, Zeech attempted to bring about the apotheosis of Kyuss. Zeech would get no help elsewhere, as he is greatly hated in Urnst and Furyondy. Word of this surely has reached Dorakaa, and all eyes watch the debased prince with grotesque curiosity, guessing at his fate should he defy Iuz. The Prince of Redhand ( AoW ), Richard Pett CARTOONS The Portent, Peter Bergting Mt. Civil War The secession caused a civil war in the Shield Lands. He declared the worship of Hextor to be the state religion in an act of defiance against his dead brothers allies, the Shield Knights. Now that most of the Old One’s demonic officers are gone from the land, many believe Zeech and his men are set for a rebellion. He renamed the viscounty as the The Principality of Redhand, with himself as the Prince of Redhand. Prince Zeech is its titular ruler, but he has sworn allegiance to Iuz. Redhand was a Tilean pirate from Sartosa, who was very active in the Southern Sea, especially around the Principality of Tobaro. ![]() In the end, they face off against the two primary antagonists: Dragotha, a powerful undead dragon, and his master, Kyuss. ![]() Deadly conflicts between “Reyhu” orcs in the north and Redhand humans in the south are becoming common. Redhand is a feudal principality, currently under the sway of Iuz. As the players encounter the various architects of the plot, they uncover the nature of the coming age, and battle the ultimate masterminds behind it. Redhand’s capital is at Alhaster, but Zeech must report to the clerics of Iuz at Balmund, which he hates. The alliance saved his realm from destruction, though the old lords and soldiers of the realm chafed at taking orders from half-orcs and worse. “Prince” Zeech, an effete renegade Shield Lands lord who broke with his nation in 577, swiftly allied himself and his forces with Iuz in 583. The Bandit Kingdoms' only coastal “kingdom,” the Principality of Redhand holds a section of the north coast of the Nyr Dyv, from the old Shield Lands to the mouth of the Artonsamay.

Plex media player stops playing2/1/2024 ![]() If it is unstable, try giving your router/modem a quick restart and try again. The easiest method to verify the speed is through speed testing software. If you have set your PMS(PLEX media server) in a different device or a different location, you will have to make sure the internet is stable on that location as well. This in turn will make the upscaling cumbersome. Having unstable internet can make your stream laggy and patchy. Stable Internet speed is and always will be one of the most important factors determining your streaming quality. If the video you are trying to upscale doesn't satisfy these requirements, the AI upscaling will fall back to the default Enhanced mode. The PRO version can support up to 60 Hz frame rate and also has support for upscaling GeForce Now gaming streams. Cannot be in RGB color scape(YUV supported).Only non-interlaced(progressive) video.Should be below or equal to 30 Hz frame rate. ![]()

Kicks6tarter book of travels2/1/2024 ![]() "I've been backing Kickstarter project for years, including the groundbreaking project from Amanda Palmer," said Cotter. Graphics were created by chief designer Natalie Rainer. Horizons using footage shot on the road by Cotter and Armitage. The video on the Pure Wander Kickstarter page was produced by R.L. They have "stretch goals" as well - for example, if double the needed funding is met, the founders will look into publishing the first print edition to reach an even wider audience. If the goal of $2,500 is reached in the next 30 days, Armitage and Cotter will receive all funding to be put back into the business and help compensate their writers and staff. The largest goal has the Pure Wander co- founders planning a luxury getaway for the supporting family which they will plan and book themselves with their connections and expertise in the industry, all included in the pledge amount. ![]() Supporters, or backers, can pledge goals of any amount and be rewarded at certain levels with fun Pure Wander gear, a mention on the site, advertising for their small business and blogger consultations. The Kickstarter explains Armitage and Cotter's goals of expanding their site to reach even more "wanderers", which an official launch date of September 24th. ![]() "So when we dreamed up a Kickstarter project, we realized how much more we could bring to readers with a little financial support." "We've accomplished so much with almost no budget at all," said Armitage. There are also rich photo dairies, a massive world calendar of events and a growing kid's section for young, budding writers. The online magazine sets out to combine exceptional travel writing with a unique parenting perspective and features articles from seasoned travel writers such Julie Hatfield of the Boston Globe and travel author, Helen Truzkowski-just to name a few. High quality features from well-known international writers will be categorized by age group, so families can know exactly what types of trips they are capable of across the globe. Through brainstorming and their years of experience with children, traveling and journalism, they have created a website geared toward families who may not strap on backpacks full-time, but are curious to see what else is out there. Stemming off an exploding social media presence and deep interest in alternative family travel, Pure Wander Magazine has launched a Kickstarter project and heart-pumping video to spread the word about ditching the theme park.Ĭo-founders Shauna Armitage and Eileen Cotter, who met virtually through blogging and travel writing, realized there was a big gap between the general family travel content and extreme global family content out there.

Dewalt impact drill2/1/2024 ![]() Most DEWALT impact drivers are very compact, making them easier to get into tight spaces than a standard drill driver. For torque, DEWALT quotes inch pounds (in-lbs) rather than the usual foot pounds (ft-lbs) – perhaps because the figure sounds higher! Just divide by 12 to convert from one to the other. Speed (in rpm) tells you how fast the driver rotates, whereas torque tells you the actual rotational force applied – that’s what does the work when you’re driving long screws. This offers high torque at comparatively low rpm, for work that requires delicate adjustment. With the three-speed models, you also have DEWALT’s Precision Drive. The first does provide variable speed, but it depends on trigger pressure, which isn't easy to judge accurately. Single and three-speed models are offered. Although the 18V models offer good value, if you’re looking for maximum performance we would recommend the latter. While this is cheaper, it isn’t nearly as efficient as the brushless motor in the 20V range. The 18V models are gradually being phased out because they use a brush motor. If you’re buying an 18- or 20-volt impact driver, 2Ah is a sensible minimum, though we would always recommend either the 4Ah or 5Ah alternatives.Īs we’ve just mentioned, there are three power options: 12, 18, or 20 volts. The best kits provide two batteries so you can carry on working – but that means extra cost. While highly rated by many owners, there are limits to how long these will run. The smallest DEWALT batteries are 1.1 Amp hour, fitted to the 12-volt impact driver. Amp hours (Ah) tells you how long that performance can be maintained. Voltage defines outright performance – with DEWALT you have a choice of 12-, 18- or 20-volt tools. However, battery performance has increased dramatically in recent years – to the extent that with their impact driver tools, DEWALT has now abandoned corded completely.ĭoes that mean there are no drawbacks? That still depends on the batteries. Cordless tools offer greater freedom, at the expense of outright power and the need to stop – all too frequently – to recharge. With a quick change from the driver bit to a socket, the same tool can also be used for tightening nuts and bolts.īestReviews Home Improvement and DIY Expert Cutting the cordĮver since the introduction of cordless power tools, there’s been a difficult choice between them and their corded counterparts. It’s something of a specialist tool, but if you’ve got a lot of repetitive driving of substantial screws – let’s say you’re laying decking, for example – you’ll be glad you’ve got one. In addition to increased torque, they also have a hammer action, which radically improves penetration. If you try driving 2-inch wood screws into a piece of 2x4 without first drilling a pilot hole, you’ll soon discover their shortcomings.Īn impact driver is designed to do that kind of job all day long. Why buy an impact driver?Ī standard drill driver will do a lot of jobs around the home and job site, but their performance is limited. If not, you might get better value buying a kit, rather than individually. If you already have other DEWALT tools and batteries, you can enjoy significant savings by buying bare tools that use compatible batteries.

When it comes to localization, many developers are unsure about which library to use, which platform will be the most efficient, and many other factors.

Localization is the process of displaying content based on specific locations. As these products or platforms grow in size, they realize their need for localization. Many developers use JavaScript to create websites, web applications, mobile apps, and other things. In this article, we will learn how to do this in two ways: file-based translation, in which we use Transifex to get these translations and use them in our application locally, or Transifex native, which is a cloud-based localization stack whose SDK can be installed or used via CDN and allows us to push and pull content for localization directly with Transifex, without the need for a file. ![]() It’s no surprise that JavaScript localization is in demand. According to Statista, JavaScript is the most commonly used programming language among software developers worldwide, with more than 65 percent of respondents stating that they used JavaScript alongside HTML/CSS.

Run Performance Monitor as Administrator.

If you suspect there's a user-mode memory leak but aren't sure which process causes it, use Performance Monitor to measure the memory usage of individual processes. However, it also has system monitoring capabilities with CPU, GPU, Battery, and storage information that helps you maintain your device easily.

Slender man movie1/31/2024 ![]() And on Friday night, the network is airing a two-hour special showcasing Payton’s side of the story. It will remain a stain on pop culture history as that time an Internet meme inspired a real-life attempted murder.ĪBC’s 20/20 has been following the horror story closely since the beginning. ![]() They will probably go away and fade eventually.” But the memory of the horrific attack will never fade. Payton accepts the scars she now carries, both physical and psychological, saying, “It’s just a part of me. She says she “wouldn’t be” who she is today if not for the misdeeds of her then-friends, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier. Now 17, the victim of the senseless attack that rocked parents to their cores, Payton Leutner, is speaking out for the first time. ET on ABC.įive and a half years ago, two 12-year-old girls lured their friend into the Waukesha woods of Wisconsin and stabbed her 19 times. The two-hour special, titled “The Wicked,” airs at 9 p.m. Payton is sharing her story for the first time on Friday night’s episode of 20/20.Morgan stabbed Payton 19 times before taking off with Anissa through the woods to find Slender Man, the fictional meme they say ordered the murder of their friend.In 2014, Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier lured their best friend, Payton Leutner, into the woods in Wisconsin and attacked her.He can create additional limbs when desired. He tends to dwell in forests but is not restricted to them once summoned, and can manifest inside a locked building. He can only manifest when people view images of him or if contacted directly through a ritual, and is then largely unstoppable until satisfied. He also has some control over trees, animating them and using them to restrain victims and merging the kidnapped children themselves into trees. Slender Man's primary method of tormenting people is psychological, driving them insane with horrific visions. Because of her sacrifice, Hallie's sister recovers at the hospital, ending the film reflecting on the deaths of her sister and her friends. However, she quickly changes her mind and tries to escape only to get absorbed into a tree by the Slender Man. She approaches the Slender Man and begs him to take her. Wren gets kidnapped by the Slender Man making Hallie realize that he wanted them. Hallie's sister ends up suffering a panic attack and is bedridden at a hospital. As a means of trying to communicate with the Slender Man, Wren convinces Hallie's younger sister to help her summon him. ![]() Hallie tries to proceed with her life but is also given terrifying visions. Wren continued to be tormented by hallucinations inflicted on her by the Slender Man and continues to try to find a solution to her wows. ![]() Upon catching a glimpse of the Slender Man, Chloe becomes insane. Despite her warning, Chloe panics and pulls off her blindfold. She warns them to keep a blindfold over their eyes because directly looking at the Slender Man would make them go insane. A week after the disappearance, the remaining girls investigate her room, discovering that she was researching the Slender Man prior.Īfter communicating with one of the users on the website, Wren tells Chloe and Hallie that they needed to sacrifice something that they loved in order to get Katie back. After the four girls watch a video on a site dedicated to the monster, Katie ends up disappearing a week later. Unbeknownst to them, they would end up chickening out of fear. The film begins with four high school friends - Wren, Hallie, Chloe, and Katie respectively - decide to summon Slender Man after overhearing some of their male friends aiming to do so. His hallucinations are also very nightmarish and are arguably his most sadistic and cruelest moments in the film. He is rather determined in his goals, snatching up Wren at the best time when she's vulnerable after tormenting her, and viciously chasing Hallie through the woods. While his canon namesake is mostly emotionless (though capable of cruelty) this version of Slender Man is quite sadistic and very monstrous, as he toys with Hallie and her friends by torturing them and bending reality, all while making them slowly go insane. From a distance he appears to be wearing a business suit, however, close inspection reveals that this exterior is his skin. His arms and fingers are elongated relative to his torso. Slender Man's appearance is largely consistent with his internet origins as an impossibly tall and thin humanoid figure with white skin and no face. |
