![]() Early gas masks were nothing more than cotton wool pads or cloth soaked in water or in some cases urine. As a result, Allied forces struggled to find effective countermeasures. So devastating was the attack that it almost enabled a rare German breakthrough. This attack caused an immediate panic leading to a massive retreat. When inhaled, the gas destroyed the alveoli of the lungs, causing men to essentially “drown” on the liquid created by their own bodies. The first chlorine gas attack, which hit French Colonial and Canadian troops, appeared as a yellowish-green cloud. Introduced during World War I, the French Army used the ARS 1917 until 1935. And while the gas actually killed very few combatants when compared to the vast numbers who gave their lives in the war (according to some sources, as many as 93 percent of gas casualties returned to duty within a few weeks), it was quite a success as a psychological weapon. But it was that calm April day that marked how truly devious gas could be as a weapon of war. While the first widespread use of poison gas occurred on April 22, 1915, near Ypres, Belgium, there had been previous small experiments by the Germans in the weeks prior to the attack. For soldiers on both sides, the horrific effects of the new weapon added another vital piece of equipment to the soldiers’ needs-the gas mask. In a conflict that already was infamous for reaching new depths in the shameful chronicle of man’s inhumanity to man, the new weapon proved to be so heinous that it was never used again on such a massive scale. With World War I in a seeming stalemate, German forces in late April 1915 introduced a horrific new weapon to the fighting.

![]() She said she enjoyed the show, even if she found the acoustics subpar. Kathyrn Howell, 55, said she knew DeGraw’s music but hadn’t recognized his face. She had never heard of DeGraw before the flight, but an hour later, she was thrilled to have his autograph. “That was totally awesome,’ said Kim Koble, 48. The sound quality, while not great, was good enough - passengers could generally hear the lyrics of “Not Over You’ and “Best I Ever Had.’ At one point, DeGraw even stepped on a seat in the second row. Passengers held up iPhones and cheered loudly. Flanked by a guitarist and percussionist who tapped against an overhead bin, DeGraw took the public address microphone about 25 minutes into the flight. He did so by cracking jokes - about drinking alcohol with the pilots before the flight and about passing a collection pot down the aisle so he could pay his band - and signing autographs for anyone who wanted one. “Hopefully they won’t feel like they’re watching a television that has one station and won’t shut off.’īut no matter, DeGraw won the passengers over - at least most of them. “Mostly I’m worried about making sure people don’t feel like they’ve been trapped in a concert,’ he said as he waited for the flight.

The Code of Conduct is intended to complement arXiv’s Operating Principles as a broader set of community values. Throughout our process, we will engage with stakeholders, including staff, advisers, moderators and authors. Status: Ongoing with additional allocation of effort in Q4 Moderation and User SupportĬode of Conduct: We are developing a Code of Conduct, based on shared values and shared responsibility within the arXiv community. Activities include (but are not limited to) to server maintenance and troubleshooting, service monitoring, analytics, internal support requests, bug fixes, and ad hoc meetings and conferences Maintenance and Operational Support: A significant amount of developer effort is devoted to a range of activities that ensure that the service continues to run smoothly. In 2019, we will begin working with one or more providers to implement this dark archive solution. The dark archive will help to ensure perpetual long-term access to arXiv content in the event of a sustained outage to the platform. We plan to release an interface that allows users to curate external links to their e-prints in a more organized fashion without requiring replacement submissions.Īrchiving arXi v: In order to ensure that we have a broad network of preservation strategies, in 2018 we began assessing several archival service providers with the intent to establish a third-party dark archive for our core e-print metadata and content. We currently support limited linking from e-print abstracts and submission comments. For example, we plan to include full text search as part of the native search interface.īetter Support for External Link s: Users expect to be able to link to relevant source code, datasets, and other resources from their arXiv e-prints. We are dedicating a significant effort in 2019 to migrating the canonical record to a system that can scale with arXiv over the next decade, and make it easier to handle higher volumes of traffic.Ĭontinued Improvements to Search: We will continue to improve our search interfaces, and introduce new features throughout the year. Under the Hood: Modernizing the Core Announcement Record: We have begun to outgrow the way that we store and access the canonical record of e-print submissions. We will introduce new features that make it easier for submitters to associate author and institution names across e-prints, and improve the precision of author name queries in search. This includes a refreshed search API, and better tools for accessing e-print content (e.g., for text and data mining).Īuthor Name Disambiguatio n: Users have increasingly noticed the limitations of how we represent author names in e-print metadata (see this blog post for details ). New Registration and Account Management Interfaces : We are rebuilding the user registration and account management interfaces to provide a more user-friendly experience, and to integrate with the NG submission system, API gateway, and other new components.īetter Support for Bulk/Programmatic Acces s: We are rolling out a new API gateway for accessing arXiv metadata and content programmatically. In 2019, we will launch the new interface, first for public beta evaluation and eventually to replace the classic submission interface. Launch NG Submission Interface: In 2018, we began work on a new user interface and API for submitting e-prints that will make it easier for us to make improvements and provide new features. Related documents: arXiv software releases || arXiv development blog posts Technical We aim to progressively evolve arXiv into a modern and architecturally sound software system while maintaining the level of consistency and availability of the system as a whole. Our overall goal of 2019 is to continue with the Next Gen arXiv ( arXiv- NG) development plan to migrate from the existing arXiv system (“Classic Renewal”). Items are listed in approximate priority order, and are subject to change based upon consideration of input from the arXiv advisory boards and other stakeholders, assessment of new opportunities and initiatives as they arise, and progress on next generation arXiv development.

Svgelements should conform to the SVG Conforming Interpreter class (2.5.4. with clear emphasis on conforming to the SVG spec in all ways that realworld uses for SVG demands. This requires including other elements like Point, Matrix, and Color, etc. The primary goal of this project is to make a more robust version of svg.path to fully parse SVG files. If the SVG spec says one thing, and svgelements does something else, that is a bug. If there is a question on implementation and the SVG documentation has a methodology, that is the preferred methodology. These provide much of the implementation decisions, with regard to the implementation of the objects. Conforming to the SVG standard 1.1 and elements of 2.0. The goal of this project is to provide SVG spec-like elements and structures. However, since svgelements permit a lot of leeway in what is accepted and how it's accepted it will have a huge degree of compatibility with projects seen and unseen. We remain nominally backwards compatible with svg.path, passing the same robust tests from that project. Support for 2.7 was dropped at Python 2 End-Of-Life January 1, 2020. Svgelements is compatible with Python 3+. And if numpy exists there's a special npoint() command to do lightning fast linearization for Shapes. Some of the SVGImage code is able to load the images if given access to PIL/Pillow. If scipy is installed then the arc length code quickly provide the exact correct answer. However, there are some soft dependencies, with some common additions do modify the functionality slightly. svgelements aims to avoid those pitfalls with robust adherence to the SVG spec. Without robust SVG parsing you'll find repeated edge cases of some svg files that do not parse correctly. There is significant utility in the interactions between these objects, however if you just want to robustly parse some SVG and convert the data to your own structures that is entirely reasonable. The ability to have these robustly manipulated with affine transformations provides considerable utility. Internal console commands within meerK40t allows specifying robustly parsed angles of rotation, colors of objects, and naively uses the Path() and SVGImage objects. For example, the zooming and panning within meerK40t is done using the SVG matrix which more robust than the wxPython one. ![]() These elements are quite useful in their own right. It attempts to more fully map out the SVG specification, objects, and paths, while remaining easy to use and largely backwards compatible. This project began as part of meerK40t which does SVG loading of files for laser cutting. In order to have a robust experience with SVGs we must be able to correctly deal with the parsing and interactions of these elements. The SVG spec defines a variety of elements which generally interoperate. This is both facilitated by, and results in, very useful elements within the SVG spec: Path, Matrix, Angle, Length, Color, Point and other SVG and CSS Elements. The goal is to successfully and correctly process SVG for use with any scripts that may need or want to use SVG files as geometric data. Svgelements does high fidelity SVG parsing and geometric rendering. ![]() Therefore before placing the order it is necessary to check with the customs office of your country what the additional charges/costs will be.

I bought a Firehawk pedal three years ago, only used it at home, and it's dead. I still have a small practice amp, and a Pocket Pod that works, and my Variax bass is going strong, but those are things I hardly use. Al least half of the Line6 gear I've bought failed, usually within five years. I've always been a big Line 6 fan, all the way back to their original Pod, but they just aren't reliable enough for me. I kept my first one only because of all the time and money I invested in making it play well. It's not well-made enough to be worth doing anything with. Without the electronics it's just another guitar, although without pickups. I sold the first parts guitar for scrap, and I'll probably do the same with the second. When it fails completely I'll put some Ghost or PMC piezos in the saddle and use it as a regular guitar because it plays so well. About three years ago I bought another one for backup, but that has now become a parts guitar also, and now my primary Variax is failing again. That later became a parts guitar when the original failed and parts were no longer available. A few years later I bought another one off eBay as a backup. I bought one when they first came out and did a lot of work on it getting it set up perfectly. However, as much as I love mine I would not recommend buying one. Here's ruff clips of "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" using "obsolete" Variax for both acoustic tracks: I think people owe it to themselves to find out if Variax is right for them? Any good working Variax is a good Variax, IMO. Check completed eBay listings for similar guitars and keep purchase price around those numbers and somebody will always want that guitar if you ultimately don’t care for it? Just don’t get carried away with price. The Acoustic 700 behaves slightly better with the wrapped 3rd (G) string than compared to the electric body acoustic models that usually use plain 3rd string.īut the bottom line here is that you’re not likely to lose much, if any, money buying a good working used Variax. Closed can headphones or IEM buds can isolate that pretty well but it’s something to note. When using digital tunings “acoustic†ambient sound bleeding into your ears can make for some funny sounds in your head. One minor con about acoustic Variax IMO is that they have more acoustic volume than the electric body guitars. I’m lucky to have many wonderful acoustic guitars but I can’t get close to the mic sound of Variax acoustic models at my recording locations. ![]() In fact, majority say something glowing about my acoustic guitar tracks. ![]() I frequently cut acoustic guitar tracks and very talented pros don’t notice they originate from Variax digital source. Obviously, recording is another great application. Only thing is, you don’t risk feedback or excessive microphonic’s on live gigs. The old days of using a Barcus Berry type piezo or sound hole acoustic guitar pickup into an electric guitar amp doesn’t really cut it with Variax acoustic model sounds.Īcoustic models seems to be created/captured/sampled as microphone recordings so I treat the sound much like a post-preamp microphone signal. I think people use the term FRFR (full range full response)? Basically, DI the mixer/house, acoustic amp, keyboard amp, etc. If you’re getting back into playing out live remember that Variax acoustic models across all versions need Full Range amplification to sound right. If setup playability can be made right and the electronics work to spec, acoustic 700 is a helluva value, IMO. I find a lot of value in the older Variax models. ![]() Immediately call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.

Undrdog WSP FAQ - Water Spot Remover For Car Paint No two bodies are alike and it is better to be safe than sorry. Yes, when working with any chemical including ours you should wear gloves and respiratory wear. Do I really need to wear gloves and proper safety gear? Yes you can, our WSP is a great remover for all finishes. ![]() The best vinegar to use is plain white distilled vinegar, which is inexpensive and effective. Can I use Undrdog WSP on matte or satin finishes? 1.Fill a squirt bottle with half water and half vinegar. As long as you follow the instructions and use this in the shade there should be no worries. We don't mean to scare you, we just want to inform you of the possible risk factors. To be safe, we suggest using this with two towels, one towel to apply the WSP, the other soaked with water to remove any WSP residue. It can cause damage if left for too long on the right kind of paint or glass. The specialty gel neutralizes alkaline stains with a mild acid. This time we mean it - do not let it dry on any surface on your vehicle. Water spots are the stains of mineral deposits left over after a drop of water evaporates. What happens if the WSP dries on my vehicle? Once etching occurs the only way to remove this is through polishing or wet sanding. Imagine a water spot being the high spot - like a mountain, and the etching being a low spot - like a canyon. Water spot etching is the damage left behind by these minerals. The best way we have found to explain this is a water spot is the mineral build up on top of the paint. Great question, these oftentimes get confused as the same issue. What is the difference between a water spot and water spot etching? If WSP doesn't do the trick you likely need to have the area polished or sanded to remove etching. It can easily eliminate built up water spots from sprinklers, rain, sea air etc. *Only contents are biodegradable and water soluble.Undrdog WSP is excellent for removing water spots from your vehicle's paint or glass.

Fill an empty tableau column with an entire descending sequence of alternating colours.An empty tableau column is more powerful than an empty FreeCell as they double the number of cards that can be moved as a packed sequence. Clear out tableau columns if possible.Once you are down to one or two empty FreeCells then it becomes very difficult to progress. You can move longer sequences of cards if you have a lot of empty FreeCells. Try to keep as many FreeCells open as possible.In general, games that have low cards dealt near the bottom of columns will be easier than games that are dealt low cards buried deep into the tableau columns. Then develop a plan to free them as soon as possible. Before moving any cards, at the start of each game, analyze the layout and try to locate problem spots such as Aces and other low cards that are buried deep down in a tableau column.You need to complete FreeCell in ten minutes. It allows you to go back and change your moves, but it doesn’t give you more time to solve the game. This means that if all of them are empty, you can move five cards. You can move a sequence of cards that is equal to the number of empty free cells plus one. While it is allowed to move cards one by one, empty free cells make it possible to move several cards simultaneously. However, try to empty free cell as soon as possible. These are used for temporarily storing unneeded cards. If one of the cards can’t be played and is blocking the game, move it to one of free cells on the left. Drag and drop them to make columns of cards that are ordered in descending sequences of alternating colors. Start moving cards that are free to play. Once all cards are dealt, examine them and plan your moves. Foundations are built in Home Cells, four empty cells to the right. Cards in foundations must be ordered in ascending sequence, i.e., from Ace to King. This is achieved by completing four foundations. The goal of FreeCell Classic is to remove all cards from the tableau. However, it is also trickier than other solitaires because of the free cells feature. FreeCell may seem easier than other versions of solitaire games because all the cards are dealt face up in the beginning. |
