Astronomical phenomena in ancient greece10/23/2023 ![]() ![]() In March 2021 my group at University College London, known as the UCL Antikythera Research Team, published a new analysis of the machine. We know it is at least as old as the shipwreck it was found in, which has been dated to between 60 and 70 B.C.E., but other evidence suggests it may have been made around 200 B.C.E. Today we have a reasonable grasp of some of its workings, but there are still unsolved mysteries. The device appears to be a geared astronomical calculation machine of immense complexity. Over the decades the original mass split into 82 fragments, leaving a fiendishly difficult jigsaw puzzle for researchers to put back together. The lump is known as the Antikythera mechanism, an extraordinary object that has befuddled historians and scientists for more than 120 years. According to historical knowledge at the time, gears like these should not have appeared in ancient Greece, or anywhere else in the world, until many centuries after the shipwreck. Months later, however, at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, the lump broke apart, revealing bronze precision gearwheels the size of coins. One object recovered from the site, a lump the size of a large dictionary, initially escaped notice amid more exciting finds. Soon after, their discovery prompted the first major underwater archaeological dig in history. ![]() The “dead naked people” were marble sculptures scattered on the seafloor, along with many other artifacts. When the storm subsided, they dived for sponges and chanced on a shipwreck full of Greek treasures-the most significant wreck from the ancient world to have been found up to that point. They had sheltered from a violent storm near the tiny island of Antikythera, between Crete and mainland Greece. In 1900 diver Elias Stadiatis, clad in a copper and brass helmet and a heavy canvas suit, emerged from the sea shaking in fear and mumbling about a “heap of dead naked people.” He was among a group of Greek divers from the eastern Mediterranean island of Symi who were searching for natural sponges.

In 2020 they’ve also released an iOS and Android app so you can write on the go. It also works very well for organizing blog posts and other types of professional or schoolwork. LivingWriter is not tailored for screenwriting, but it’s our top pick for novels, short stories, and honestly any other types of writing. I’ve never had any issues with it losing my writing or stories (issues that I have definitely had with other writing apps in the past). Meaning your writing is saved constantly to the cloud (just like Google Docs). I’ve been using a template to quickly plot out any ideas that might pop into my head. The outlines and templates (some I knew, some I didn’t) work well right off the gate to get you started with your writing. Their story elements are wonderful to work with, I love seeing my characters in their nice tidy place. It also tops Scrivener in its ability to live edit (co-author) and share your stories with friends/editors and the fact that it’s a cloud-based application rather than a desktop one. LivingWriter made it to the top of our list because it has all the features (and more) of Scrivener with a really modern and clean user interface. One thing I have to point out right away about LivingWriter in comparison to other writing apps, it’s beautiful! It seems like they gathered all the best features of writing apps in the past and melded them all into one. LivingWriter is actually new to the scene (launched in 2018). Out of all the software we reviewed, we found four that we’d recommend as well as some honorable mentions.ĥ.1.10 Ywriter: $11.95-24.95 LivingWriter – The Best Book Writing Software of 2023 With all the technology in the world, it’s about time technology helped us write! Some of the newer ones are just plain bad and seem like rushed jobs. A lot of the ones on the market are mostly just software with very specific features, like distraction-free writing or grammar checking. Something like your books or your screenplays. I’m talking about a full-scale word processor like Google Docs but is tailored towards writing something more than documents. ![]() Not just something that checks your spelling or turns off other apps to keep you focused. What I was looking for here is an app or software that helps you write easier and faster. To separate the useful from useless, I’ve had to spend quality time with them (and also pay for some of them). Especially when reviewing something you’ll be using to write your novel, it requires some time investment! It’s not an easy thing sifting through writing apps and book writing software. Long Story Short, the Best Writing Apps in 2023 are:

Lil peep funeral photo10/23/2023 ![]() ![]() The person Oliver and co-editor Joe Kehoe got to know through hundreds of hours of footage was sweet, goofy, anxious about losing himself to superstardom. Oliver never got the chance to meet Juice he came aboard the project after the singer’s death, distilling behind the scenes footage shot by videographers Steve Cannon and Chris Long into a loose, unvarnished portrait of the superstar in the final year and a half of his life – his creative powers turbocharged, his demons dissembling into full-blown addiction. “For so many people who tend to bottle things up or don’t have the language to discuss something … to be able to see somebody who is willing to do that and can make incredible music with that, I think that was something really special.” “He was both willing and able to discuss the things that he was going through without a filter and without shame or regard for how it was received,” Tommy Oliver, the film’s director, told the Guardian. And as Into the Abyss, the final instalment of HBO’s Music Box series (which also includes Jagged and Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage) illustrates, through archival footage of his near-ceaseless freestyling and testaments from collaborators, Juice was a singular talent, both in the prolificness of his output and the rawness of his lyrics. The brief life and career of Juice WRLD was one of mind-boggling singularity: one of the most vertiginous rockets to superstardom, even by internet standards one of the most ubiquitous and influential artists of his generation, with streams in the billions for a career that lasted barely two years. Two years later, he remains one of the most popular music artists in the world – according to Spotify, the third most streamed in the US of 2021, behind Drake and Taylor Swift – and a beloved icon of a genre whose stars burned bright and too fast. In the early hours of 8 December 2019, less than a week after his 21st birthday, Juice WRLD died of an accidental overdose of oxycodone and codeine shortly after landing at Chicago’s Midway airport. ![]() Burial will be held on Friday, August 5, 2022, at 10am at Holy Cross Cemetery, 17501 Nacogdoches Rd., San Antonio, Texas 78266.Īrrangements are under the direction of Schertz Funeral Home, 2217 FM 3009, Schertz, Texas 78154.The five-minute freestyle is an arresting introduction to Juice’s prodigious talent for rhyming “from the dome” that now doubles as an elegy. Memorial Service will follow at 12:00 pm. Visitation will be held on Friday, July 29, 2022, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Schertz Funeral Home.

![]() You can skip this step if you have the Moenovel Version Installed or applied fuwanovel patch correctly and works perfectly, this is mainly to help people who have any issues coming up I havent helped with. If you already had the VN & Patched with Restoration Patch, this optional step is a optional safeguard step to help solve alot of issues that can occur even if sweet love restoration patch is applied if you didn't install the first restoration patch properly. Step 1: Uninstall If My Heart Had Wings (For Previous Restoration Patch users) - Optional With that said, here is how to install both the original Fuwanovel Restoration Patch & Sweet Love User Interface Restoration Patch. You can either choose to 100% the original Moenovel VN to get both achievements and cards or follow the following instruction guide which will help with this issue. Besides that, installing both patch's will disable steam from interacting properly, meaning you cant unlock achievements or get trading card drops (I think). It will be a walkthrough on how to get each ending & be a minor PullTop Hub with a brief look at other Pulltop Visual Novels.īe aware that installing and applying both the Fuwanovel & Sweet Love UI Restoration Patch will change the original all-age rating to AO (18+) by adding back in cut content that is sexually explicit in nature.

Overall, Moenovel's If My Heart Had Wings was the worst example of censoring and cutting a all-age Visual Novel to release in the west. Moenovel's 'localisation' of the eroge when released in 2013 cut & censored all adult content from the game and did a bad translation of the visual novel that get's worse in specific routes like Ageha, making her story a unreadable mess compared to what her route was actually about in the original Pulltop & Fuwanovel patched version.

Songs in american utopia10/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Byrne and the ensemble performed more than 150 dates in twenty-seven countries over nine months. ![]() The concert tour in support of American Utopia, which inspired the Broadway show, included songs from the new album along with music from Talking Heads and Byrne’s solo career. "The concert-theater-dance spectacle finds solace in human connections … a tonic for our tumultuous times."Īmerican Utopia began as an album, also released by Nonesuch, which received a Grammy nomination and was the first by Byrne to reach #1 on the Album Chart it was also his first to reach the Top Five on the Billboard 200 chart. "A heady swirl of hope for our anxious times," says Rolling Stone. "A knockout celebration of music, dance and song. "Byrne puts the central tenet of making contact with a world outside your mind into dynamic, sensory practice onstage." "Dazzling, rapturous and jubilant," exclaims the New York Times of the show. The two-CD version was released on November 15 the vinyl edition is due December 27. Just as Stop Making Sense was more than just another live album from just another rock band, American Utopia on Broadway does more than document Byrne's 2018-2019 tour, it stands as a grand and powerful statement of its own from an artist who is as relevant now as he was in his salad days.Nonesuch releases the cast album for the current critically acclaimed Broadway production of David Byrne’s American Utopia, with music and lyrics by David Byrne it is available digitally now. And if American Utopia was thoughtful and whip smart, the Broadway show is thoughtful, whip smart, and fun - an entertainment that doesn't compromise its intellect for its unique brand of showmanship and vice versa. For the show, Byrne also filled out the program with a rich variety of songs from his days with Talking Heads and his solo career, and they enhance the effect of the American Utopia numbers, as well as reminding us that the LP's view of the State of the Union in the Trump era was ultimately one more chapter in a story he's been pondering for decades now. Where the surfaces of the studio album were often cool and dryly ironic, the sweat and fire of a live show is apparent throughout, and Byrne's ensemble is capable of cutting his brand of funk with confidence and élan. Listening to this performance without seeing it puts the material at a certain disadvantage, but this is a significantly more satisfying and pleasurable experience than the American Utopia album was. ![]() The tour eventually led to a run on Broadway, and American Utopia on Broadway documents how the show sounded to the patrons who saw it on the Great White Way. Byrne's 2018 album American Utopia fared well with critics, but what really caught the attention of his audience was the tour he mounted in support, in which he performed with a small army of dancers and musicians who were in constant, carefully choreographed movement that changed it from a concert into something truly spectacular. David Byrne may be the most cerebral rock musician of his generation, but unlike most of the artists who follow close behind him, he's someone who understands the physicality of performance and the notion of giving it up for an audience smart and arty as he may be, he understands the age-old concept of giving the audience a show, and he happens to be very good at it.

Stonehead ember court10/23/2023 The Ember Court is both a weekly event that is the Covenant Feature of the Venthyr Covenant, a reputation faction gained through doing the event, and the. So it seems like the pet is a 100% drop rate from the rare. A new court has opened in Revendreth, where Prince Renathal attempts to unite allies from across the Shadowlands and increase his covenant's influence. Ended up cheesing it by using Door of Shadows as someone else suggested. with the burning intensity of a thousand firey suns. Comment by PaideiaDK I absolutely hated this quest. Have had 4 spawns of the rare so far from the 4 Courts i done this with and i got a pet every time from the rare. The Ember Court quest 'RSVP: Choofa' seems to be bugged for alot of people who cant see it or pick it up. You have to put out fires and hope for the rare to spawn. Once you got the bucket for your Ember court then you will have to pick it up during your weekly run. Which if i remember correctly is from hitting Friendly with ember court. He is marked as RSVP received, I have used the RSVP quest item, but still, when trying to launch ember court, I get the you need at least 1 RSVP received to start embercourt message. You have to buy Dreger Pool unlock for you Ember court before this is able to be unlocked. Basically, I’m trying to do ember court after getting Stonehead, but can’t. Buckets have mutliple spawns all around the court. There is quite a few fires around so make sure you have put them all out. Use the bucket to put out the fires, so far i have had a rare spawn ea time i done this. When Stonehead says "Candles start fires" the fires will now have spawned around inside your Ember court. This is the only way to start a fire in your Ember Court. Next step is to have the Decoration "Traditional" unlocked which is a bunch of candles burning around ur ember court. As spotted by HeyPhayPhay, the tribute chests from Stonehead in the Ember Court can contain the Large Muck Stained Blade, which has the equivalent DPS of a level 50 weapon with a 120 item level, so it's time to get that giant into your Ember Court and try and get this particular reward Source. (If you hit friendly with her in a run it most likely will come from the next one) Thanks to Nirvcoil and a few others who have got this item, it seems to be from the end chest after a complete Ember court from Sika when you have had her at Friendly. I got Pile of Ashen Dust to drop on my first try, so Im not sure about the drop rate. Ashen Amalgamation should spawn from one of the 30+ fires you can put out. ![]() Candles start fires.' Then use the anima water buckets you find to put the fires out. The item you need to be able to put out fires is Animaversetztes Wasser During the ember court scenario wait for Stoneheads emote 'Ut oh. Kommentar von dunderman1Looks like the way to be able to spawn the rare to have a chance for this pet is to put out fires during you ember court run. Plague Deviser Marileth (176124), Kleia and Pelagos (176123), Choofa (176119), Cryptkeeper Kassir (176120), Grandmaster Vole (176122), Stonehead.
