Each of these roles has the responsibility of offering the best for the user, providing the maximum value to the product, taking care of the details. In the development of a website there are several roles, whether in teams, people or someone who exercises more than one of those roles: product, UX, design, development, QA, up to DevOps (or what is now known as SRE) in the deployment phase. There are several points to consider for a good IX, beyond passing the images through a compressor that promises to optimize our images in the most effective way. Let me introduce the term IX, short for Image eXperience. It is very likely that the white text of the schedules is set as an overlay of a fantastic and incredible image of a key scene of the last film premiere, perfectly contrasted, perfectly framed to draw the attention of the viewer and show the schedules to watch that great movie … but, the image has not been loaded. I will try later using another cinema’s website…”. I think it is loading, I am not sure … the train has arrived and my mobile goes to the pocket. HTTP Archive: Table Image Optimization Image eXperience is everyone’s businessĪ few days ago, in the article Performance Web in modern times, Michelangelo wrote about a situation where he had problems planning an activity for the weekend: “Where I should see the movie schedules, it renders white on white. In August 2019, images on mobile represented 911KB of the content loaded for the average 1.8MB site, and on desktop there were 1MB of images on an average site weighting 2MB. After all, that’s what our work really is about.Īccording to HTTP Archive, 50% of the data transferred to load a web page are images (JPEG, PNG and GIF). No matter what, our goal of improving user’s experience will remain. ![]() Surely with the constant advance of technology and improvements in connectivity, in the future the content might be more video-based than image-based. Images are a very important part of the web. ![]() As web development professionals, we care about choosing the best framework, the most current library, applying good practices in Javascript and CSS, being careful of the semantics in HTML to improve SEO, we are improving the accessibility of our content, we package and we divide the files to optimize the load… But what about images?

8/5/2023 0 Comments Lap spliceUPDATE: In a follow-up phone call, we learned that the ASCC member discussed the existing installation with the project LDP, who agreed the one-square lap was indeed fit for purpose and acceptable. But you’re likely to see the one square plus 2 inches lap on your next project. In other words, it is totally up to the engineer to determine the lap splice required, if any. The trend appears to be for engineers to simplify the design process, avoid doing calculations, and use the conservative default splice lengths used in ACI 318 for structural slabs. We contacted a WRI representative for more current guidance for splicing of plain wire WWR in non-structural slab applications.Īlthough the note to designers cited above no longer appears in the WRI design guide, the LDP is free to call out any splice length that can be proven sound to the local authority having jurisdiction e.g., building department. If the engineer believes the full strength of the reinforcing will be required, then the splice equations in Chapter 12 apply”. Therefore, splices need only to be sufficient to secure the sheets of WWR together. Most slabs-on-ground utilize less than 50% of the yield strength of the reinforcement. WRI believes and many engineers agree that the strength of the reinforcing in most slabs-on-ground is not utilized to the full yield strength. “ACI 318 does not cover splices for slabs-on-ground. Next, we found an old WRI design guide dated 1999 that contained the following note to slab designers: This is essentially the same ACI 318 lap splice for plain wire used in structural slabs. In section 6.4, the lap splice indicated for plain wire WWR is one square, plus 2 inches. To answer this we checked ACI 439-5R-18: Guide for Specification, Manufacture and Construction Use of Welded Wire Reinforcement. So, if the WWR is only needed for crack control in a non-structural slab-on-ground, what is the correct lap splice to use with plain wire mesh? Once the slab is designed, the LDP is required to show locations and details of all reinforcement, including all lap splices. The LDP can also rely on past experience with similar slabs. Since the design requirements for non-structural slabs-on-ground are specifically excluded from the ACI 318-19 building code, section 1.4.8, the LDP typically uses design guides prepared by ACI, CRSI, WRI and so on. The WWR is used only for control of concrete slab shrinkage cracks. ![]() The slab thickness and proper preparation of the subgrade provides that. The WWR in the slab actually contributes very little to its load-carrying capacity. Examples of non-structural slabs include industrial, commercial, and residential slabs intended to carry material loads, storage rack loads, and any static or moving loads from equipment and vehicles. By definition, such slabs are supported by the ground with the main purpose of transmitting all applied loads through bearing onto a properly prepared subgrade. The non-structural slab-on-ground on this project was probably designed per ACI 360: Design of Slabs-on-Ground. We believe the as-placed WWR is likely to be accepted by the LDP with little or no rework required. ![]() Since the WWR lap splice requirements are not available in the construction documents, it appears the inspector has mistakenly referred to Chapter 25 or the ACI 318 building code as a default to support his decision. How can we prove our installation is fit for purpose and acceptable?” Neither the structural construction documents nor the WWR shop drawings indicated lap splices. While ACI 318-19 does call for the lap length cited by the inspector, we don’t agree with his interpretation. The inspector is citing ACI 318-19, section 25.5.4, which covers plain wire WWR tension lap splices for structural slabs. The project inspector has rejected the laps, saying they must be one square plus 2 inches, or 8 inches total, minimum. We installed the WWR using a lap splice of one square overlap, or 6 inches. Reinforcing for the slab is plain welded-wire mesh (WWR 6圆). “We have a project featuring a 6-inch thick concrete slab-on-ground over an 85,000 SF footprint of prepared subgrade.

As mentioned earlier, turn on 'Display Gameplay Context Subtitles' to make this a little easier on yourself, if you can't really discern the sounds.Īfter a bunch of these turns, you'll reach the end of the maze, and if you didn't backtrack, you'll earn: Who broke the vase Three friends Jim, Sam and Tom were playing in the garden and one of them broke a vase. if you hear a clink and a spin, that means northwest). Soon you'll hear two tones, which mean you need to travel in the direction between those tones (i.e. These correspond to the directions you learned in the Mechanical Age, but if you've forgotten:Īt each junction, orient your craft in the direction the sound indicates (hit the red button to listen again) and then go forward. Save before you throw the left lever forward twice, taking you down into the maze and forward the only open track (note that this puzzle does use the right thumbstick for movement rather than the d-pad).įrom here, you'll hear a tone or tones at each junction. The red button will play a sound, because sound is how you're getting through this maze. The center dial shows your heading, the left lever controls your movement, and the right lever controls your orientation. Hop inside and head to the control panel. Now, follow the path forward down a long pathway to the most infamous puzzle in Myst: the Mazerunner. In the original game, the order is as such:Įthereal crystal, running water, wind, lava rumbling, clock. Write down this order, and then return to point A to input them in sequence. Once you've aligned all the sounds, hit the sigma button (Σ) and the sound buttons will light up in sequence if you've done it properly. You'll know you've got it aligned properly if you can't hear any static. ![]() It isnt a matter of using your brain so much as running back and forth over long distances to revisit clues you had no way of knowing you would need in advance or taking down note of every single thing that you see.To proceed, you need to rotate the dish and 'tune' it like a radio to the proper receivers for the sound represented by the icon. By the time I had got around to recieving the question I had long since forgot all the clues to the answer. Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Artrake Studio. Can you survive and shut off the artificial intelligence Dan Finkel shows how. You’re the only person skilled enough to shut it down, and you’ll only have one chance. ![]() While it is true I got the chat because I didnt solve it correctly the first time that was more a matter of lazyness. A hostile artificial intelligence called NIM has taken over the world’s computers. You can easily solve the puzzle without using the chart and in fact I did solve it without using the chart. Though you might be correct pointless isnt the best way to describe it. It is still pointless since you cant use the chart in game. They encourage problem-solving and critical thinking at a young age, which are crucial skills to have in life. It also helps kids overcome social issues when they interact with others and pass on the riddles. Riddles bridge the gap between parents and children and strengthens bonds. Point of the chart: to help you solve the puzzle, by showing you how you're meant to use deduction to get to the answer. Here are some of the benefits riddles have for kids. Originally posted by Pockyninja:ok so the chart is pointless I just need to answer the question to mom. The medical records also mentioned that Shay grew three shoe sizes between Age 5 and Age 6, so if you assume the picture giving his shoe size is from Age 6, you then have all the information you need to full in the row for age 5. The riddle reads as follows:You always take us downWhen we are in our prime.Devour my sweet rewardsYet Ill return in time. You can find the correct pattern explicitly by looking at the bronze shoes, but not the colour or size. The colour of boots given in the picture of Shay as a fireman at Age 8 can also be ruled out. The two types of shoes he mentions explicitly in his note to the shoe fairy are both from when he's older than five, so rule out the colour mentioned for each of these. Thus with four options and four ages lined up, any colour that's listed explicitly as an older age must be incorrect. Mom clearly states that no colour or pattern is repeated, so each must be unique. Without just giving you the answer, I'll lay out how I ruled out everything else to get the correct answer, assuming the puzzle doesn't have random elements. I've laid the reasoning out for you in spoilers below if you're stuck. I popped open excel, copied the format, and used it to track things, although really, you can ignore the "age" row, and just track colours that could be at age five versus patterns at age five, and fill them in as Y or N.

Who could possibly lack words to sing the praises of one who, though born in the highest station, brought up in the height of wealth and luxury, held fast by the strength and variety of this life's delights as if in the grip of the most tenacious of fetters, suddenly broke free and exchanged all her bodily goods simultaneously for goodness of the soul? Of one who cut off with the sword of faith, that is, her own free will, the very flower of a life still only just beginning and, by crucifying her flesh with Christ, dedicated it as a living and holy sacrifice to God and for love of virginity renounced the prospect of providing posterity for a very noble stock? An easy, simple way to make a speech is to let the very richness of the subject-matter speed it along its course but we have to proceed along a very different road, since our purpose is to write a manual of instruction for the virgin, not an encomium, to portray not so much the virtues which she has already acquired as those which she has still to acquire, and to order the remainder of her life rather than to honour that part of it which is now in the past.Ģ. ![]() It is to Demetrias that I have to write, that virgin of Christ who is both noble and rich and, which is more important, spurns both nobility and riches assuredly it is as difficult for me to instruct her as it is easy for all to praise her out of admiration for her outstanding virtue. ![]() Even if I could claim to possess natural talent of a high quality and an equally high degree of artistic skill and believed myself for that reason to be capable of fulfilling with ease the obligation of writing, I would still not be able to enter upon this arduous task without considerable fear of the difficulties involved. 8/4/2023 0 Comments In the same vicinity![]() Alternatively she may well be fertilised by drones from other hives in the apiary, whose bees are, more likely than not, related to her. ![]() The effect of this local type of mating behaviour is that a queen is likely to mate with one or more drones from her own hive, which in the case of strains with non-migratory drones, are likely to be her own "brothers". Repeated mating within the drone family of the parent. Apiary vicinity mating behaviour, and the continuance of such bees in recognisable form through many generations is a clear sign of It is only under conditions of a moderate degree of inbreeding that the character shows up. It is more than a coincidence that most of the superseding characters, which we know of, are recessive. This is to be expected since drone assembly mating maximises outcrossing and supersedure is favoured by inbreeding as it is largely recessive in character. When queens are seen mating near the hive, they nearly always turn out to be of superseding strains. (It is the occasional witnessing of this event by beekeepers which must have led to the widespread belief that all matings in these Islands were of a local or apiary-vicinity nature a belief which has surprised our continental colleagues.) ![]() The queen emerges from the hive and is immediately followed by a number of drones from that hive, with one or more of which she mates within the confines of the apiary. However, this ability saves the breeding line which would otherwise die out.Īpiary vicinity mating can occur during bursts of sunshine or during dull weather when ground or plant radiation is high, or when the air is moderately warm. They may take longer to mate than normal, and in early spring and late summer we occasionally find that they have been insufficiently inseminated, leading to their being superseded after a short laying life. Yet under similar conditions and in the same apiaries, bees with native characteristics do mate freely, become fertile and subsequently produce worker brood. At such times queens of Italian and other non-native parentage may fail to mate, disappearing or becoming drone-layers. In the less settled weather conditions of some years, and particularly in smoky and high-rainfall regions, neither major nor minor drone assemblies may form with sufficient regularity. 8/4/2023 0 Comments Ps4 trove hacksAdded (Boost) 7 Days to Die, Carmageddon, Dead Island Definitive, DOAX 3, DiRT Rally, Dynasty Warriors 8, Far Cry 4, Ginger, God of War 3, I Am Bread, Mekazoo, Shadow of the Beast, SAO Hollow Fragment, Super Robot Wars V, Tales of Berseria, The Tomorrow Children, Tony Hawk 5, UFC 2, WRC 6, WWE 2K17.Ġ3/11 - Made changes based on research.
