In a finely choreographed parade, troops including soldiers sporting Soviet-era uniforms and rifles and a cavalry regiment marched across Red Square's famed cobbles as Mr Putin and Mr Xi looked on. Thousands of troops, including Chinese honour guards, as well as troops from Mongolia, Serbia and several ex-Soviet states marched past the leaders.

"I think that my father, just like millions of simple soldiers - and he was a plain soldier - had every right to walk through this square," he said, briefly leading the vast crowd in the Kremlin-backed event dubbed the "Immortal Regiment". Several hours after the main parade, Mr Putin unexpectedly joined the head of a 250,000-strong commemorative march on Red Square, clutching a portrait of his father who fought in the war. He also thanked those who fought against the Nazis in other countries, including Germany. "We are grateful to the people of Great Britain, France and the United States for their contribution to victory." ![]() "Our fathers and grandfathers went through unbearable suffering, deprivation and losses," Mr Putin said at the beginning of the parade, feting the country's veterans and the "grandeur of victory over Nazism". ![]() World War II veterans gathered to watch the Victory Day parade at Red Square. ![]()

![]() ![]() These sites will have a ‘Lightbox’ feature where you can store images you might like to download at a later date. The additional functionality you can find on a for-pay photo site can help you stay organized and efficient. Some services even provide corresponding search terms with each photo, which can give you ideas for alternate keywords. Paid photo services have staff to tag their photos with keywords, so the results are usually more accurate. On the other hand, efficient search functionality is one of the foundations of a paid service. This kind of poor search functionality is common on some free photo sites. There’s nothing like typing in the search term ‘money’ and getting back photos of the Eiffel tower. That’s why I never use photographs of a person from a free service. Model releases are guaranteed with a paid service. You need the signed release of a model to use his or her photo. Yes you should read the fine print, but you only have to do it once. The licensing agreement will be the same for all photos in the license category you select, which is typically a standard royalty-free license. You don’t have to deal with this headache on a reputable stock photo site. ![]() Some photographs come with no restrictions, some are only for non-commercial use and some require the name of the photographer. On the free photo sites, you have to read the fine print for each and every photo you use. One hazard of being a designer is learning about copyright laws, restrictions and licenses. Because they exist as mathematical renderings, they can be expanded to any size and manipulated in a vector graphics program. Vector art refers to graphics that are hand drawn in a tool like Adobe Illustrator. Illustrated graphics can give a course a completely unique look and feel. Many of the subscription and credit-based sites offer vector art and illustrations. Availability of Vector Art and Illustrations You can find people doing interesting things and simple single objects that are ready to use. You can find photos based on a concept, emotion or theme. Compelling ImagesĪlthough paid stock photo services always include some laughable images of people smiling at work, they also have lots of compelling images. Many of the higher end subscription services provide customers with access to multiple collections so you can search among millions of photos, making it more likely to find what you need. Premium stock photo services are a business, which means they need to have a wide selection of categories and image choices to stay afloat. A savings in time translates into saving money. Good stock photo services will save you time, as you are much more likely to find what you need quickly. For busy designers with a reasonable budget and intense deadlines, I’ve found that purchasing stock photos and illustrations makes more sense. However, I end up wasting a lot of time going through these sites looking for the right image. Free stock photos are great when you need images of scenic mountains or scanned photos of someone’s great grandmother. You can find a long list of both types on this Resource page- Stock Photo and Illustration Sites.Īlthough free stock photo websites create a lot of buzz, in the real world of creating online courses they can be frustrating. Unless you always shoot your own photos, the question is whether you should pay for stock photos and illustrations or use one of the free services. Stock photos and illustrations won’t solve all your graphic needs but there are a lot of uses for them in online learning. ![]() 5/7/2023 0 Comments Move keepassxc to new computer![]() ![]() Building off of another question increasing iteration and using a strong master password will make brute force harder, though slow down the app.You may not want to store the totp data with the keypassxc database.If really paranoid, you can get a pin protected USB, but that more to remember. this allows you to have the password on go (if stolen/lost they still need master password).keep another DB/key file on a USB stick ( the master password stay separate).(cloud storage user cannot decrypt if storage is not the key file isn't accessible.) Alternatively, there is a phone app option. Keep the master password and key file (if applicable) out of the cloud storage.

Second is the need to sync, a backup database that out of date is not too helpful. Off-site backups are important, but then you need to trust the offsite location. In General, having 2 or more backups is good, BUT all in the same space is bad. ![]() If you are a high-value target this conversation would be different. Your risk tolerance is really based on your own comfort level and personal threat level. Full disclosure is more opinion than fact: (I used KeyPass/XC for a few years, but switch to a different service due to sync difficulty) ![]() 5/7/2023 0 Comments Read fire force onlne![]() ![]() What was once a promising and excellent progressing story crashed and burned as quickly as Shinra when he first started honing as pyrotechnic abilities.Įverything was going swimmingly until the last 100 or so chapters, where all the previous plot development and ESPECIALLY world-building was just thrown out the window for a lazy excuse of a final arc. As he endeavors to reach the truth, Shinra soon finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that aims to engulf the world in flames. To make matters worse, Shinra's past returns to haunt him after he confronts a mysterious cult. Infernal sightings are worsening across the country, and his own fellow brigadiers struggle to unite against these threats. ![]() ![]() After he is recognized for his abilities, Shinra joins Special Fire Force Company 8, one of many fire brigades developed to combat these Infernals.Īlthough working with the Fire Force seems to have fulfilled a calling, Shinra learns that becoming a hero is not as easy as it seems. Meanwhile, the Infernals-first-generation pyrokinetics who spontaneously combust into flaming, demonic creatures-ravage the streets of Tokyo. Characters are brought into the show and thrown away for the duration of 5-6 episodes until they’re needed again to exposit about the world or the plot.EditSynopsis Still reeling from the childhood trauma of losing his family to a blaze, Shinra Kusakabe endures both the blessing and curse of being a third-generation pyrokinetic: a person gifted with the ability to freely control fire. Plot elements are pulled out of the author’s ass at very inappropriate times with characters making a sudden appearance and then disappearing just as quickly. Riddled with sudden cuts, weird framing, stupid fanservice and soulless jokes and characters every bit of potential that the show held was thrown into the nether. This is probably the worst directed and worst framed show to come out this year. ![]() After watching the first two episodes I really thought I would be able to enjoy this, but shortly afterwards the enjoyment I found in the bombastic nature of the first two episodes was burnt and tossed into oblivion. Many people in this world are bestowed upon by Solomon the ability to control fire. Set in a world where people spontaneously combust and turn into mindless burning zombies the Fire Force is responsible for controlling the damage caused by these “infernos”.

Lara hears a gunshot and rushes to her father's study, where she finds him slumped over his desk, dead. She finds her mother's atelier, and inside, her jewelry box and bracelet. Lara dreams of her childhood, searching through Croft Manor, for hidden secrets. While trying to get through a collapsed entry, Lara is attacked by the jaguar again, which mauls her back, though she manages to kill it. Lara then heads to the plane's crash site and reunites with Jonah, who also survived the crash. While making her way through the jaguars' territory, she is attacked by them she manages to kill one, causing the other to leave with its body. Lara finds Miguel dead, having been eaten by two jaguars. Lara receives a transmission from the pilot, Miguel, who had also survived the crash and headed deeper into the jungle. Lara awakens, and makes her way through the dense jungle after finding some gear from the section of plane that crashed nearby. She manages to get to higher ground, she finds Jonah and tells him they need to get to Peru now or else Dominguez will get the box first, Jonah yells at Lara that they need to help the people who are trapped before they do anything, leaving Lara to look horrified at the destruction she has caused.Īfter managing to get a plane, the pair head to Peru, near their destination the second cataclysm hits, the storm, and causes their plane to rip in half separating Lara from Jonah, and both sections of the plane crash. Lara is horrified to see the first cataclysm, a tsunami, rushing towards her. He takes the dagger, intending to undo the damage Lara has done and reshape the world in his image. Realizing that Lara doesn't have the box, Dominguez reveals that by taking the dagger, she has set the apocalypse in motion. He asks for the box as well, Lara brushes him off saying it's safe. Dominguez arrives and tells his men not to hurt Lara. ![]() One soldier catches Lara off guard and she drops the dagger. Lara makes her way outside, fighting through a group of Trinity solders. She calls Jonah on the radio and warns him to get to higher ground. A sudden tremor causes part of the mural depicting the tsunami to crumble and break. Lara intercepts a Trinity transmission that Dominguez is near. Jonah urges her to reconsider, in case something bad happens. Finding a ceremonial Dagger, Lara realizes that it's what Trinity is after.

Lara tails Dominguez and Rourke, making her way through the town and eventually into the nearby jungle. Returning to the town, they find Dominguez, who is accompanied by Commander Rourke, leader of Trinity's military forces, and is seeking a temple. Lara informs Jonah that she has deduced that the clues lead to Peru. The pair head back to the town of Cozumel, during the Day of the Dead festival.

The other reason why it might be difficult for the masses to learn more about the manufacture is that in-house movements have become a major selling point for most mid- to high-end brands. What they do instead is sell ébauches (semi-assembled movements) and complete movements in vast quantities to watch brands, who will then dress them up in accordance with their own brand’s DNA. ![]() Consequently, they will never publicly advertise their technical achievements to make you or I buy a movement or two from them. ETA however, unlike retail brands, does not want to sell directly to the public. We see retail brands tirelessly looking for yet another way of exploiting their history so as to convince the pondering buyer. One of the reasons for this can be found in the marketing practices of the industry. ![]() However, despite all its previous and present roles in horology, for many, ETA remains a relatively unknown manufacture, or worse: a three-letter word that scarcely means more than the fact that the movement inside their watch was not made by the company whose name is on the dial. Its story has, as we will learn, defined the watch industry of today. It is Switzerland’s largest movement maker with countless small and major brands relying on the products they make. ![]() ETA is one of the most prevalent and powerful companies in the modern watch industry. ![]() 5/6/2023 0 Comments Hellpoint bosses![]() Of the three I fought, two could be duped just by staying in close and circling - their attacks just couldn't reach me. Granted, I only got to play the first few areas, but the bosses were a pushover. This was certainly frustrating and I hope it's just down to the fact I was playing a preview build and not the full version.įor the most part, the couple of boss battles I got to play were fun if not incredibly easy. In the Observatory, for instance, you can climb all the way to the top and there's nothing there as a reward for making it there. That's fantastic, but I often discovered jumping and climbing puzzles, conquered them, and found nothing for my effort. That's right, you can jump on boxes, leap over lower obstacles, and otherwise reach higher places. Hellpoint has one key difference from many others here: a dedicated jump button. Part of a Souls-like, beyond the resource management and combat, is the exploration. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) While the boots clank on the metal floor, the feet themselves don't seem to connect. When the player character is running, it's like he's floating a few millimeters above the ground. While I loved the little bit I got to play, there are a few things that I'd like to see addressed, if possible, before the final retail build launches. Now, it has a lot more polish and looks a whole lot better. Back then, the animations looked pretty bad and the lighting and shadows ruined any sense of dread that it might otherwise convey. Other than adding some twists on the formula, Hellpoint has improved drastically since news of it first hit the scene a few years ago. While you should still be careful and use them sparingly, it's nice that the developers include a means by which you can get them back over time without having to die or rest at a checkpoint. However, that's not all that the game offers.Īs you can probably guess, your healing items are quite limited, but you can recover them simply by hitting enemies often enough, especially during boss battles. Hellpoint presents the player with a challenge, for sure, but with caution and precision, you can master the early game levels and bosses. Most importantly, it gives an incredible sense of accomplishment with each victory. Your typical Souls-like staples are here, including stamina management, currency you collect from enemies and item drops that you lose upon death, watching for patterns in combat, and enemies that can kill in you in one or two hits. You play as a Spawn, a humanoid created to solve the problems of Irid Novo, the space station upon which the game takes place. I was presented with a dark sense of foreboding, a feeling of powerlessness, and overwhelming dread. Any fan of Dead Space will notice some similarities here, but that's not all that Hellpoint does to differentiate itself from its predecessors. Whether you noticed it or not, when you kill a boss or study some plot inscription, a data icon and a percentage value appear in the upper right corner.Each cautious step forward took me further and further into the depths of the in-game world, which slowly introduces its grotesque horrors. After winning, use the terminal and talk to the Author. Walk left and find the first boss, the Archon Slaver. The path to the right leads to the Dominion of the Ascended, but you cannot open it. Either way, these items are few, so try not to sync more than one rift per level. Synchronizers are lying around right in the locations, but they can also be obtained by activating the Hellstone (purple plate) and exploring the limited, mirrored world. Rifts on large bosses sync automatically, but otherwise you’ll have to spend those synchromes. You will also receive special items, Rift Synchronizers. With their help, you save progress, improve your character by spending the received axions, and so on. ![]() The rifts you sync are used as bonfires in Dark Souls. ![]() 5/6/2023 0 Comments Winter solstice yoga sequence![]() ![]() Then the flow builds, getting brighter and bigger just like the sun rising in the sky. That is, while finding just the right amount of exertion and relaxation, we will become more open-minded, disciplined, patient, loving and authentic to our true essence. In this 20-minute winter solstice yoga flow, you begin slow and small, like a seed you’d plant in the darkness of winter. ![]() For a longer practice after the Warrior pose include a few rounds of Salute to the sun. For a shorter practice just use the first part of the practice, which is done lying down. We can endeavour to find a state of Satva – pure balance between the two in both our yoga practice and our life off the yoga mat. Winter Solstice Yoga Practice Enjoy this Winter Solstice practice as you take the time to pause and create a quiet space to welcome the sun back into your life. Whereas Tamas is passivity, inertia, potential energy. Rajas represents dynamic energy, effort, will. This means those in the Northern Hemisphere will welcome winter on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 1:48 PM PST and 4:48 PM EST. In yoga philosophy, the gunas encapsulate these concepts. In 2022, the winter solstice will occur at 21:48 UTC on December 21. In the mythology of Siva and Shakti, this universe flows from their sandhya tandava This is the cosmic dance (tandava) of the sacred junctures of time (sandhya). So what does Hatha Yoga mean? The word Hatha can be broken into two parts: Ha meaning Sun and associated with our masculine, energetic side and Tha meaning Moon, associated with our feminine, passive, relaxing nature. The Winter Solstice New Year time is a special sandhya or sacred juncture allowing us to link our bodies with cosmic rhythms. These might include strengthening and relaxing, right and left, up and down, forward and back, movement and stillness, breath in and breath out. The term solstice actually means ‘sun standing still’. This day is the both the shortest and darkest day of the year. ![]() Yoga is many things, many concepts and usually something different to each practitioner.Īt the start of class, I sometimes ask my yoga students to think of all the contrassts or opposing actions/sentiments/ aspirations we experience in our yoga practice. December 21 st, is the first day of winter and is celebrated as the winter solstice. ![]() ![]() ![]()
