Starfield and Forza Motorsport should make for a killer tandem this fall, but how long are we going to have to wait for the first console exclusive of 2024? If Microsoft can pump out 3 or 4 major first-party releases next year along with a few pleasant surprises in the same vein as Hi-Fi Rush, I might be hard-pressed not to recommend an Xbox Series X over a PS5. Simply put, despite acquiring two dozen incredible development teams, the pace of first-party game launches for the Xbox and PC has been woefully sluggish. If two or even all three are delayed, we’ve got a problem. If all three games dated for 2024 do indeed launch next year, it will be a banner year for the Xbox Series X and Series S. None of this is meant to disparage the developers or any of their games, all of which I’m excited to play, but it is difficult to get your hopes up when the future is so foggy. Then there’s the intriguing Perfect Dark reboot (also unveiled in 2020) which didn’t even make an appearance at the showcase. Obsidian’s RPG Avowed was revealed at the same event as Fable, and although it does appear to be further along in development, Microsoft couldn’t be any more specific than “2024” in regards to its release date. Three years later, all the team at Playground Games has to show you is a two-minute trailer and not even a hint of when the game might be ready. Microsoft announced the Fable reboot in 2020. But then you take a step back and realize there is no telling how many of them will actually be playable by the end of next year. In the moment, seeing all of these games back-to-back was a thrill, especially given the pedigree of many of these studios. It features the company’s well known autonomy, which allows the drone to get high quality aerial shots without the need for honed piloting skills. The Skydio 2+ is Skydio’s flagship consumer drone. The addition of Skydio products to Amazon generally makes for better shipping and easier returns, but it does mean that Skydio is losing out on some of the profit for selling its drones.īut the move to Amazon could be a good thing for the company-Amazon is one of the biggest platforms for consumer sales in the world, after all, and people who haven’t heard of them may now stumble on their drones while searching for similar items. For the moment, you can find the Skydio 2+ Pro Kit on Amazon, and other kits and accessories may soon follow. But that recently changed with the opening of the company’s first store on Amazon.įor now, not all of Skydio’s kits will be sold on Amazon. Up to now, Skydio didn’t sell drones through Amazon.

Considering the growing evidence supporting a role of low-grade inflammation in OA pathogenesis, the results of this study suggest a role for calcium crystals in the development of the disease.īasic calcium phosphate crystals Calcium pyrophosphate crystals Inflammation Power Doppler Scanning electron microscopy Synovial fluid. No change in crystal morphology was detected and, apart from one fluid kept at room temperature in which fungal hyphae were noted at six weeks, no new crystals. No association between the presence of crystals and the radiographic scores has been observed. The prevalence of BCP crystals alone was, instead, higher in the early (23%) with respect to the late group (19.4%). Classifying our patients according the severity Kellgre-Lawrence score, we found that the prevalence of CPP alone (27.8%) or in combination with BCP (11.1%) was higher in the late stage group with respect to the early one (CPP 21.6% and CPP + BCP 4.1%, respectively). Categorizing patients according to SF crystal type, a strong association between BCP crystal presence, and higher WOMAC and Lequesne index scores has been uncovered. It's diagnosed by the study of the synovial fluid from the inflamed joint, which is observed under a microscope for CPPD crystals. SEM analyses uncovered CPP crystals in 26 patients (23.6%), BCP crystals in 24 patients (21.8%), and both types of crystals in 7 patients (6.3%). How is calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD, or pseudogout) diagnosed CPPD can't be diagnosed simply from a blood test. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to detect SF crystals. Ultimately, CPPD disease is diagnosed by the presence of positively birefringent CPPD crystals in the synovial fluid, whereas gout involves the presence of negatively birefringent crystals when viewed under polarized light microscopy. The demonstrable presence of CPPD crystals in synovial fluid or in tissues using compensated polarized light microscopy (as discussed earlier for gout vs. One-hundred-and-ten patients with knee OA completed the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) self-assessment questionnaire, the Lequesne algofunctional index survey, and the visual analogic scale forms they also underwent power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) to assess synovial inflammation. Joint washout ( arthrocentesis) is an option in severe cases.The current study aimed to investigate the association of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) and basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals in synovial fluid (SF) of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) with disease severity, clinical symptoms, and synovial inflammation. Symptoms usually resolve spontaneously over several weeks. Remember the mnemonic LOSS:Ĭhronic asymptomatic changes found on an xray do not require any action. Other joint xray changes are similar to osteoarthritis. This is pathognomonic (diagnostic) of pseudogout. It appears as a thin white line in the middle of the joint space caused by the calcium deposition. The underlying mechanism is the same as in gout (see Gout). Positive birefringent of polarised lightĬhondrocalcinosis is the classic xray change in pseudogout. CPP crystals formed in cartilage may move to synovium and synovial fluid and cause inflammation.To establish a definitive diagnosis the joint needs to be aspirated for synovial fluid. It tends the be milder in presentation compared with gout and septic arthritis. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals are found in the SF in 2 major settings: osteoarthritis (OA) and acute CPP arthritis. In any patient presenting with a hot, painful and swollen joint, septic arthritis needs to be excluded as it is a medical emergency that is joint and life threatening. Gout Definition Gout is a crystal-deposition disease caused by the super saturation and precipitation of MSU crystals in tissues resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. It can also be asymptomatic and picked up incidentally on an xray of the joint. Two types of crystals monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) are commonly involved in gout and CPPD disease, which are described in this chapter. It can be a chronic condition and affect multiple joints. Other joints that are commonly affected are the shoulders, wrists and hips. Pseudogout is a crystal arthropathy, which may cause an acute inflammatory arthritis from deposition of calcium pyrophosphate. It is also known as chondrocalcinosis.Ī typically presentation of pseudogout is an older adult with a hot, swollen, stiff, painful knee. Calcium pyrophosphate crystals are deposited in the joint causing joint problems. Pseudogout is a crystal arthropathy caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals. In a DX12 race, AMD actually starts the race with good shoes and 'terrain' dependent, might start faster.ĪCE's are AMD's DX12 Async running shoes. AMD on the other hand starts slower and without shoes on (in a pre-DX12 race) but gets into a good stride as the race progresses, starting to catch up on Nvidia. It's as if in a 10K road race, Nvidia always start the race fast and keeps that speed up. Nvidia's design works on all API's at it's near optimum. ACE are proprietary to AMD and only help in DX12, Async settings. There's a massive philisophical and scientific misunderstanding about Asynchronous compute and Async hardware. With DX12, Nvidia can't give much more but AMD can utilise the other 10-15% of the cards design. So what you really have is before DX12 and Async in particular, NVidia gave you 95% (metaphorically speaking) performance of their chip. AMD's implementation of Asynchronous Compute Engines (ACE) meant that the GCN architecture worked far below potential in DX11. Nvidia's current cards (and last gen I suppose) already work out at near optimal performance for the architectural design. If that dynamic load balancing that Nvidia cooked there, works, It means that developers will have NO excuse to not use async in their games, which will mean at least a 5-10% better performance in ALL future titles.It's perfectly okay to use Async in games. Futuremark will have to give a few explanations to the world, if in a year from now, their benchmark is the only thing that shows gains in Pascal cards. John_Maybe the first time we see Nvidia cards gaining something from Async.

The test almost exponentially increases the 3D processing load over "Fire Strike," by leveraging the low-overhead API features of DirectX 12, to present a graphically intense 3D test-scene that can make any gaming/enthusiast PC of today break a sweat. For this reason, the test requires Windows 10. The price of 3DMark Advanced for new users has been revised from its existing $24.99 to $29.99, as new 3DMark Advanced purchases include the fully-unlocked "Time Spy." Futuremark announced limited-period offers that last up till 23rd July, in which the "Time Spy" upgrade key for existing 3DMark Advanced users can be had for $4.99, and the 3DMark Advanced Edition (minus "Time Spy") for $9.99.įuturemark 3DMark "Time Spy" has been developed with inputs from AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and Microsoft, and takes advantage of the new DirectX 12 API.

Futuremark released the latest addition to the 3DMark benchmark suite, the new "Time Spy" benchmark and stress-test. This also only requires one day per week in maintenance and work, harvesting the crops, collecting last week's wine, and starting the new fruit brewing, meaning it can fit in even the most casual gamer's playstyle, if you so decide. At 2,310g/ea, that gives you a weekly income of 267,960g or a seasonal income of 1,071,840g. With Agriculturalist and Deluxe Speed grow, I've been able to fill my greenhouse in as little as a month (although I started with multiple seeds, as I got one in my first mining dive in Spring, and grew it throughout my first year, starting with several fruits by the time my greenhouse unlocked), but even at the slowest rate, it shouldn't take you more than 2-3 seasons to fully fill your greenhouse.Ĭombine this with either two sheds or one big shed full of Kegs for brewing, 116 in total, and you have a total of 116 Ancient Wine produced per week, once fully in production. Therefore, we will experience a geometric progression of ancient fruit planted. These fruits go into a Seed Maker for 1-3 additional seeds, with an average of 2 seeds per fruit, give or take (which is the number we'll be using in our calculations). After your Ancient Fruit fully grows and produces its first fruit, it will then produce one fruit per week thereafter. At this point, you can utilize the rest of your greenhouse however you like, many people enjoy using Starfruit, some like to plant some Beets for a. if you're at all remotely concerned about profits, this is your only realistic option) to the Agriculturalist perk for a further reduction in iteration time. If you are *really* concerned about maximizing how fast the greenhouse fills up, you can also use the statue in the Sewer to swap your Artisan perk (which, let's be honest here. If you want this to happen much faster, use Deluxe Speed Gro to reduce the initial growth time by a full week. And all you need is a single seed to get the ball rolling.

This will make the animation bar slide to the left, causing all the keyframes to start sooner and thus begin the animation sooner. In the In column on the layer panel change the timing to 0 00 00 25. We’ll just add some timing and fade out and the smoke will be done!ġ9. Finally, click and drag the smoke layer beneath the Rocket Ship Layer. Check the box next to Repeat Edge Pixels to make sure the smoke touches the edge of the composition.ġ8. Now that this new effect appears in your Effects Panel, let’s change up the settings. We’ll have to blur the particles quite a bit so go to Effects > Blur & Sharpen > Gaussian Blur.ġ6. This behaves like smoke, but it doesn’t quite look like it. Now the particles are grey, let’s size them up. Change the color to #3F3F3F, a grey color.ġ4. Click on the colored box to bring up the color picker.ġ2. Direction Random Spread will be 150, so the smoke covers a nice wide area as it spreads out.ġ1. Alter the Direction to 180 degrees to aim the emitter downwards, like the smoke billowing out of an engine.ġ0. Change the Position to 960, 870 so the emitter lines up with the engines.ĩ. Now, in the Effect Controls, toggle open Cannon.Ĩ. Go up to Effects > Simulation > Particle Playground.ħ. For this, go up to Layer > New > Solid.ĥ. Okay, we’ll be making some smoke that jets out of the rocket’s engines. Now we really feel like we’re in space! Smokeġ. There’s quite a few stars though, so let’s reduce the Size in the Effect Controls to 50.ġ3. This turns your Solid layer into an amazing star field, rushing towards the viewer. You’ll find this by going up to Effects > Simulation > CC Star Burst.ġ1. We’ll be making a super cool star field effect using Star Burst. Click and drag it to below the globe layer.ĩ. A new layer now appears in your layer stack. Change the color to #FFFFFF, pure white, by either sliding the picker to the top left or entering the hex code.Ĩ. Click on the little colored box to bring up a color picker.ĥ. We’ll be focusing on adding effects to really pump up the piece, essentially working with only three layers total. Upon opening the file, you’ll see a few layers already there and animated. We’ll also refine the look a bit with some simple Transparency animation. Don’t be scared by these big names, the process largely involves just dropping the effects onto your layers and moving some settings around. You should end up with an After Effects Particle Emitters folder.įor this tutorial, we’ll be working with these particular effects: Star Burst for that cool interstellar space look, Particle Playground with a Gaussian Blur for the smoke, and CC Particle Systems ll for the engine sparks. After the download has finished, be sure to unzip the file if it hasn’t been done for you.There’s an entire menu of just particle simulators in the program, and in this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use three of the most ubiquitous ones. By learning how each one works and how to adjust the settings, you can make anything from bubbles to smoke to caustics to even fireworks. Particle Emitters are one of After Effects’ most versatile tools. Most importantly, by using a trusted SMS Gateway’s API, your text messaging is ensured the broadest reach possible to your intended audience. Remember: SMS is the global default standard in messaging, with every smart-phone being able to receive it without any additional application software being required. If your service provider isn’t asking you questions about your campaign content be concerned, because managing and providing guidance on regulatory requirements is essential to all text messaging campaigns regardless of region. A facilities-based operator is just that, meaning they are not a reseller, providing full aggregation services. Generally, a Campaign Service Provider (CSP) for mobile marketing is either an operating SMS Gateway, or in some instances a reseller. In the United States this means all your text campaigns require formal registration, while in Canada your messaging provider manages them if they are 10DLC, and short codes are registered. If your organization, be it a business or institution needs to send bulk text messaging, you need a reliable SMS Gateway that is compliant with local text messaging regulations regarding consumer privacy to avoid being blocked from sending messages. Your text messaging solution needs to be flexible, scalable and capable of meeting the needs of your business, your staff and your customer base. Our World’s Mobile Carrier Networks To You. If your organization wants to text messaging for either mass internal, or external communications, you’ll need to start with an SMS Gateway API to provide the ability to send SMS (short message service) text seamlessly connecting three things: |
