Preface I was one of thousands of white kids who, in my case growing up outside of Pittsburgh in the late 1950s and early 1960s, discovered the exciting and-at the time-exotic world of black music hidden away at the lower end of the radio dial. The station was WAMO out of Homestead, and the music-primarily jazz, rhythm and blues, and doo-wop-was impossible to ignore. In my town, McKeesport, the station and the music came to signify teen rebellion, an intelligent underground alternative to the bland pop that then dominated mainstream airwaves. By the time I graduated from high school, I had amassed thousands of choice 45-rpm records by African American performers the more obscure the better. It was around then that I chanced on a segment of the WAMO broadcast day that I had never before heard.

It first appeared in Final Fantasy III and has also been included in Final Fantasy IV, V, VI, VII, IX, and XI. It is typically used by the Thief or Ninja classes. The Full Moon is the one of the most powerful boomerangs in the Final Fantasy series. None of these guns typically used any kind of ammo with the exception of when Irvine in FFVIII would use his limit break "Shot." Many of the characters from Before Crisis also wields firearms, such as Gun(female), Two Guns(male} and Shotgun(female).īoomerangs are included in some installments, as well. In Final Fantasy X-2 there was a special class where one of the three selected characters could brandish guns as their main weapons. Irvine Kinneas used a type of shotgun while Laguna Loire wielded a machine gun in Final Fantasy VIII. Vincent Valentine also wielded verious kinds of handguns rifles and shotguns in Final Fantasy VII and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. In Advent Children, Barret uses a new Gun-Arm, which can transform from an artificial limb into a large gatling gun that features three firing units rotating around a central plasma gun. Barret's initial Gatling Gun appears throughout cutscenes, and, like the Buster Sword, cannot be bought or sold. There are various additional Gun-Arms available for Barret throughout the game, including a few close-range variants, such as a large drill or cannon ball. Simply put, a Gun-Arm is a firearm mounted to its owner's forearm, in the cases of both Dyne and Barret, serving as a replacement for lost limbs. The Gun-Arm is used by Barret Wallace and Dyne in Final Fantasy VII. Guns are used by numerous antagonists throughout the series, such as several job clases in Final Fantasy Tactics, the Yevon missonaries from Final Fantasy X, and various antagonists in Final Fantasy VII. Finally, in Kingdom Hearts, a young alternate version of Wakka makes a cameo appearance in the game with his default blitzball as his weapon. The blitzball also appears as part of Tidus' overdrive attack "Blitz Ace" in Final Fantasy X, and in a similar attack for Shuyin, "Terror of Zanarkand", in Final Fantasy X-2. Wakka's Celestial Weapon, the World Champion, is a brown and black ball with a row of spikes. As a weapon, the ball comes in a variety of styles, many of which bear the same appearance as the default ball, while others were of various other colors, or have spikes. In the game, blitzballs are used in a sport of the same name, with the official blitzball tournament ball color as white with blue stripes in a spiral pattern all across the ball. It's a ball with bumps all over for gripping when under water. The blitzball is a projectile weapon used only by Wakka in Final Fantasy X. For many bows, arrows are kept at quantitive inventory, with an exception being Final Fantasy Tactics. The other recurring bow is the Artemis Bow, found in IV, V, and the Tactics' games. In Final Fantasy XI it's named "Yoichinoyumi", being one of the most powerful bows in the game, it's only attainable after several upgrade phases. It first appeared in Final Fantasy II as the strongest Bow weapon, and returned in Final Fantasy III, IV, V as one of the 12 Sealed Weapons, and the Tactics games. Yoichi's Bow is one of two commonly recurring bows in the series. Despite the name, gunblades do not fire projectiles. The Final Fantasy installments feature several types of projectile weapons, including bows, balls, guns, and launchers. RyanSmithAT: Not quite the same angle since I'm doing it by hand.Today's article is a short one that revisits some of our old N31 testing and why laten… RyanSmithAT: RT Hello you fine Internet folks,.gavbon86: I would rather watch Frazer vs Wach again tbh, and there's no chance of that happening □.gavbon86: RT Today we're looking at the latest Razer Blade 14, which has AMD's latest Ryzen 7940HS Zen 4 mobile processor and NVIDIA's RT….gavbon86: RT The Aurora Supercomputer Is Installed: 2 ExaFLOPS, Tens of Thousands of CPUs and GPUs.gavbon86: The Aurora Supercomputer Is Installed: 2 ExaFLOPS, Tens of Thousands of CPUs and GPUs.gavbon86: RT Gigabyte's Low-Cost Mini-ITX A620 Motherboard Supports Ryzen R9 7950X, R9 7950X3D CPUs.Unfortunately, like Intel, plenty of now-ancient AMD 2000 (Zen mobile APUs, not the Zen+ desktop CPUs) and 3000 series (Zen+ mobile APUs, not Zen2 desktop CPUs) are still being sold in bargain desktops. I don't see anything official from AMD claiming otherwise, so unless we see "AMD Botticelli: the Zen2+ 2022 refresh!", I pray Zen2 is wrapped up. To your Q, the leaks claim Barcelo (Zen3 mobile APU refresh) is replacing Lucienne (Zen2 mobile APU refresh), so AMD should finally be Zen3-base-only in *new* mobile APUs. "10th" gen = Comet Lake mobile, Ice Lake mobile, Comet Lake desktop.Īt least Alder Lake returns some sanity = 12th gen is always Alder Lake. Intel is doing the same BS: "11th" gen = Tiger Lake mobile, Rocket Lake desktop. It's taken 14 months after the Zen3 desktop CPU launch for AMD to finally replace all its Zen2 mobile APUs. Don't blame ya.ĪMD's confusingly named lineups have only gotten worse and I think I finally understand why: AMD doesn't want people to realise how long it takes AMD to move its architectures from desktop CPUs to mobile APUs (the largest market).
Joe seems to be all over IG and YouTube trying to convince people this is real and even going to the extent as to make up more of the story that he has been in contact with Chris chambers parents. They have also set up IMDb To show that “Chris” and Sara are being themselves and this is NOT true. If they have just came out and admitted this is only for entertainment then okay fine. To make up the fact that someone was molested for entertainment purposes and claim it to be real is wrong. I can appreciate that they are a smallish company however to lie to people to tell them this is factual is wrong. I never write reviews but the fact that in the “documentary” Chris invites his friend Sara over and she gets so upset while using the spirit box because it knew about her uncle Roger who molested her. This is why there is no record of this event anywhere on line as being factual. Just watch this “documentary” and it is enjoyable, however on all social media platforms the writer, director,actor and owner of the company claim this is a real documentary when in fact joe mazza of mazza appeal films is the guy who plays “Chris chambers”. when he broke the glass on his face then walked over the glass, i was expecting blood on his feet, on the floor or at least a bit while he was walking on the carpet, as you could see he stood on some glass and the glass moved in the shot, so even with the miraculous lack of cuts on his face after that, no blood whatsoever makes it pretty obvious it's most likely sugar glass or something similar. which answered my questions of what if someone was just doing something on the other side, a lot can happen in a jump cut like that.ģ. you can see a shadow in the hallway of the door just after the picture frame is 'knocked off the wall' from the second angle given by the first ceiling camera. chris chambers appears to be played by an actor and the production company of this movies owner, joseph mazzaferroĢ. also i'm pretty sure this isn't a real documentary because of 3 things.ġ. however if you're interested in the paranormal, it's an interesting movie that spouts some pretty interesting facts even if it is fake, it was still pretty good to watch. It entertained me until the end, where i began questioning things. I don't think this movie deserves such a low rating so i'm trying to equal it out a little bit.

There are two input character bytes left in the last triple:įrom those 16 bits, the most significant 2 x 6 bits are encoded to two base64 output characters.To fill up the based64 encoded quadruple, two padding '=' characters are appended. The most significant 6 bits are normally encoded, the other 2 bits are expanded with zeros and also encoded. There is only one input character byte left in the last triple:.So actually there are three cases to distinct: Then each 6bit part which was filled up with zero is encoded with the special padding character '='. In this case, the input buffer is filled up with zeros until it is divisable by three. What to do if the number of input character bytes is not divisible by three? So the string "Sun" has encoded in Base64 the value "U3Vu". Repeat this until no more input character bytes are left.Įxample encoding for the input string "Sun": Take three character bytes from the input stream (24bits), divide them into four 6bit parts and convert each 6bit value according to the table above. In fact three data byte values are encoded to four Base64 values: This makes sense as three 8bit values are in total 24bit, while a value in range 0-63 requires 6bit for representation, thus four Base64 characters fit in 24bits.īefore we look at the encoding process, first here is the Base64 index mapping table: So how to represent a data byte which can hold 256 different values by a set of only 64 characters? Well, of course this is not possible by a 1:1 mapping, so the Base64 encoded data stream needs more characters than the original byte-based. This is where Base64 encoding & decoding could come into play.īase64 uses 64 characters that are available (and printable) in most text encoding schemes to represent its data. However, it is not convenient that a programm shall know whether the data bytes to process are 'text' or 'binary' - and often binary data shall be processed / transmitted via a text-based protocol / algorithm. So if a stream which is expected to contain only ASCII values actually also contain non-ASCII values, this could potentially lead to problems. The usage of the most significant bit of an ascii value is not completely defined (could be used as a parity bit for example). Still an ASCII value is normally stored in a byte which has eight bits (0-255). the ASCII standard is based on seven-bit values, thus uses a range of 0-127. The origin of such binary-to-text encoding scheme like Base64 is the requirement to send a stream of bytes over a communication channel which does not allow binary data but only text-based data.Į.g. So let's begin …īase64 is an algorithm to convert a stream of bytes into a stream of printable characters (and back). As always, it' probably not the best or most efficient way, but it should be a good starter. I want to share with you my experience to understand and implement Base64 encoding and decoding. Void base64_decode(string & out, string const& encoded_string) įile base64.Welcome to my little article about Base64 encoding. Use this if you know the output should be a valid string Void base64_decode(vector & out, string const& encoded_string) Void base64_encode(string & out, string const& buf) Void base64_encode(string & out, const uint8_t* buf, size_t bufLen) Part of file base64.hpp: void base64_encode(string & out, const vector& buf) It avoids copying the parameters at the expense of a couple of tests.Īdds some handy functions for dealing with strings, although usually the input data is binary and may have zero bytes inside, so typically should not be manipulated as a string (which often implies null-terminated data).Īlso adds some casts to fix compiler warnings (at least on GCC, I haven't run it through MSVC yet). Std::vector decoded = Base64::decode(encoded) Ī bonus here is that the decode function can also decode the URL variant of Base64 encoding. Std::string encoded = Base64::encode(buf, 4) Add the byte to the return value if it isn't part of an '=' character (indicated by 0xff) Size_t encoded_size = encoded_string.size() Make sure string length is a multiple of 4 Expand the return string size to a multiple of 4ī4 = ((b3 & 0x3f) Base64::decode(std::string encoded_string) Calculate how many bytes that needs to be added to get a multiple of 3 Std::string Base64::encode(const BYTE* buf, unsigned int bufLen) Return encode(&buf, (unsigned int)buf.size()) Return "" // Avoid dereferencing buf if it's empty Std::string Base64::encode(const std::vector& buf) Std::string base64_encode(BYTE const* buf, unsigned int bufLen) Std::vector base64_decode(std::string const&) And why have I modified it? Well, because it didn't seem appropriate to me that I should work with binary data stored within std::string object ) Here's my modification of the implementation that was originally written by René Nyffenegger.

Athena is able to respond in real-time to complex shifts in energy demand, which allow the AI to better optimize system performance. It’s solutions are paired with solar-power generation systems, and is powered by Athena.Īthena is the AI brain behind Stem’s storage solutions. Stem’s primary business is in the creation, selling and installation of an energy storage solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Tesla has exposure to this paradigm-shifting revolution with its Powerwall, but it’s not the leader. But if you could store the power from solar panels or wind energy in batteries, it would completely change the energy paradigm. Stem Is the Early Leader in Energy StorageĮnergy storage is key to the the Distributed Energy Revolution.Ĭurrently, the world’s major sources of clean energy are intermittent. And at this very moment, Stem’s potential at the epicenter of the Distributed Energy Revolution is severely undervalued. But Elon Musk won’t be alone … Stem will also share the spotlight within this energy revolution. Tesla’s attractive positioning within this multi-trillion-dollar Distributed Energy Revolution is largely why TSLA has taken off like a rocket. I’m Revealing the Next Amazon Stock for FREE on Tuesday, Feb.This will transform homes and offices into their own “energy generation hubs,” capable of producing always-on and yet cost-effective clean energy. An electric grid integrated with solar, wind, hydrogen, power walls and much more, all plugged into the existing grid. What takes its place will be a more democratized, decentralized version. The energy infrastructure as we know it - the one controlled by utility companies - will be dismantled and reassembled in the 2020s. And he’s 100% correct in joining the bullish chorus. There are trillions of dollars of bonds, of capex, of value sitting inside the energy generation infrastructure of the world that is going to go upside down.”Ĭhamath should know, as he was an early Facebook executive who became a super successful venture capitalist. Power walls are as well… the big disruption that’s coming is to power utilities. They are figuring out how to harness energy, how to store it, and then how to use in a way to allow humans to be productive. “The reality is that Tesla is a distributed energy business. To answer, we turn to Chamath Palihapitiya, who put it best: To understand the bull thesis on STPK stock, we need to first answer a very important question: Why is Tesla – a car company – worth more than $800 billion? Looking for the Next Amazon? Join My Exponential Growth Summit, Tuesday, Feb.As the company does exactly that throughout the 2020s, STPK stock will roar higher, much as Elon Musk & Co. Today, Stem is in the early stages of flipping the global multi-trillion-dollar energy industry on its head. By 2025, we could be talking about “Stemanaires.” Over the next five years, those “lucky” enough to buy into Stem’s stock early could follow in the footsteps of TSLA stock. These “lucky” investors have their own moniker - “Teslanaires.” Tesla’s stock has risen so much that it has turned a group of early investors into millionaires. Since then, it has soared more than 2,500% to nearly $900 at its most recent high point. In early 2016, Tesla’s stock price hovered around $30. It’s hard to make the argument that Tesla has not been among the best investments over the past five years. As with all surgeries, there are potential risks associated with this operation, including retinal detachment, so your doctor may not recommend it. This procedure removes the vitreous along with the floaters and replaces it with saline. There’s a surgical treatment called a vitrectomy that’s performed by a retinal specialist. However, if they are frequent and distracting, talk to your eye doctor about your options. If floaters are only a mild annoyance, there’s usually no treatment needed. Although they don’t ever go away completely, they eventually settle at the bottom of the eye below the sightline and become less of a bother. They are also more likely to occur if you are nearsighted, diabetic or have had retinal trauma.Īccording to the National Eye Institute (NEI), floaters are usually just an annoyance. These strings or clumps float around in the vitreous and cast a small shadow on the retina. Floaters are caused when the vitreous, the gel-like substance that makes up most of the eye, becomes more liquid, stringy and clumps together. They are usually age-related, occurring between the ages of 50 and 75. They are so named because they move around and tend to shift as you try to focus on them. If you are seeing spots, strands, rings or cobweb-like structures in your eye, they may be floaters. Here are common causes of spots and colored spots to help you learn which conditions require immediate treatment. The difference between harmless and dangerous could be subtle, but it’s important for you to be able to distinguish between the two. In some cases, the spots could be harmless and a symptom of age, but there are times when these are symptoms of more dangerous conditions and you must seek medical treatment as quickly as possible. If a clear field of vision is suddenly littered with spots or a variety of shapes, you should consult your eye doctor immediately. Noticeable changes in your vision should always be taken seriously. We then change the value of the pound input to our calculation we just created. We create three const the first euroamount gets the exchange rate from the api, the euro const gets the value from the euro input and the last const pound does the calculation and rounds up the numbers to 2 decimal places. We then use the response we just fetched and get the data from it to do our calculation. To something which we can use for our script. So we then parse it using the json method. When using the fetch command the data which is returned is just a response. In this tutorial we’ll be building a simple currency converter with HTML and JavaScript. document.querySelector(".convertButton").addEventListener("click", mone圜onvert) ĮuroField.addEventListener("input", mone圜onvert) įinally we going to use the fetch command to get a an up to date exchange value. Basically, there are two sections for two currency, you can compare them by switching up and down also you can select any currency from the dropdown.
