![]() ![]() Yoshitusune being trained in the art of the sword by Sojobo. The Tengu are also keepers of ancient forest and mountain magic. The Tengu are also somewhat famous because it is said that they are masters of the art of the sword, and the great hero Minamoto no Yoshitsune was said to have been taught his extraordinary swordsmanship from the king of the Tengu, Sojobo. The Tengu punish errant behaviors through humiliation. They are usually thought of as pranksters or tricksters, but this is often because they are meting out some manner of ironic justice. Tengu – often translated as “goblin,” the Tengu are a complicated race of shapeshifting bird-like humanoid beings. Probably the most famous example of this in media is Inuyasha. Hanyo – a being that is half yokai and half human. There are Oni that protect, are servants of kami or help keep malevolent yokai in check. Oni are often thought of as evil, but not necessarily. The most common is red, but blue and brown also exist. There are tribes of Oni, and each has a different skin color. Oni – often simply translated as “demon,” the Oni are actually more like giants or ogres. However, not all kitsune are associated with O-Inari Okami, just as O-Inari Okami is not associated with all kitsune. Many stories and legends exist of O-Inari Okami being a shapeshifter, which has in turn resulted in people mistakenly believing the Kami is a fox god. Kitsune are often associated with the O-Inari Okami, as foxes are the messengers and servants of this Kami. Common examples of these are tanuki (raccoon dogs), ookami (wolves), bakeneko (cats note the bake prefix indicating a shapeshifting creature), hebi (snakes) and the most popular of all thanks to anime and video games, the kitsune (fox). There are numerous subclasses of yokai (this is not an exhaustive list):Īnimals – typically spirits of a place or a natural feature, though sometimes they are A fox wedding.Īvatars or servants of a Kami. Bakemono is also used to describe beings that are shapeshifters, with obake being the honorific form. Almost all yokai are henge, or shapeshifters. Despite this, most tend to reserve the term “ yokai” for the darker entities like malevolent ghosts, demons, spirits, or monsters. Both are the embodiment of various forces and phenomena, take all manner of forms, and can exert influence on the manifest world. Kami are on the most fundamental level the same as yokai, with the primary difference in being how people relate to and/or approach the entity. ![]() Most people are familiar with the idea of Kami and equate them with gods, but that is a poor approximation. Shinto has an absolute plethora of beings, all of which have no direct correlation to western systems of thought, and therefore make describing them quite difficult. Anyone that has ever looked into the mythology of Shinto, or has a love of anime, has probably encountered terms like yokai, obake, and bakemono, and found them to be quite confusing.

![]() It definitely loaded d3d9on12.dll and not my usual AMD D3D9 drivers. I tested it very briefly with the Black & White 2 demo and it seemed to work fine. ![]() There is also a compatibility shim that can do the same already for D3D9 at least (I don't think the shim works with anything older): D3D9On12Enabler -On (the "-On" parameter is important). It doesn't work with the DXPrimaryEmulation -DisableMaxWindowedMode shim either when using the Intel iGPU without a wrapper. Exclusive full-screen mode needs more work specifically in DDrawCompat, because D3D9On12 doesn't seem to support that. ![]() I tried this briefly with DDrawCompat and it worked for both AMD and NVIDIA drivers - at least in windowed mode. Well, that's interesting in itself, but more to the point: I'm fairly sure this could be (ab)used to load D3D9On12 in any DX 1-9 game with a very simple wrapper that hooks D3DKMTQueryAdapterInfo to reproduce the above error code for the driver path query. The installer intentionally doesn't register any D3D9 driver (even though it does still install the igdumdim32/64.dlls). I looked at the inf file of the Intel driver and it seems like this would be the case for all Alder Lake S iGPUs. After this, the DirectDraw runtime seems to automatically fall back to loading d3d9on12.dll instead. While debugging how this happens, I found that the call to D3DKMTQueryAdapterInfo with Type=KMTQAITYPE_UMDRIVERNAME (which is supposed to return a path to the user-mode display driver) fails with STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER (0xC000000D). While I was testing whether it works with DDrawCompat (it doesn't without changes, sadly), I noticed some interesting things.įirst, it's not loading the usual igdumdim32.dll user-mode display driver, instead it's loading d3d9on12.dll. I've recently upgraded to an Alder Lake CPU with an integrated GPU (UHD 770). ![]() Models like the Keurig K575 and the newer K Duo Plus are equipped with this feature. However, it’s important to note that Auto-Brew does not apply to brewing individual K-Cups. As the name suggests, Auto-Brew allows you to schedule the coffee maker to automatically brew a full carafe of coffee at a preset time. This feature is available in specific Keurig models that can brew coffee in a carafe rather than just single cups. Lastly, let’s explore the third type of timer – Programmable Auto-Brew. This means you can simply insert your K-Cup, select your brew size, and start the brewing process without having to wait for the machine to heat up. With Auto-On, you can have your coffee maker ready to go when you wake up in the morning. Models that offer this feature include the Keurig K-Elite, K575, and K150. However, it’s essential to note that this feature only prepares the machine for brewing it doesn’t initiate the brewing process. This feature allows you to schedule your Keurig coffee maker to automatically power on at a preset time. Moving on to the second type of timer – Programmable Auto-On. This feature is useful if you have specific preferences or need the coffee maker to stay on longer. You can customize and set the exact time when you want the machine to power off. Some models may allow you to disable this feature, but it’s limited.įlexible Auto-Off: On the other hand, certain Keurig models, such as the Keurig K-Elite and K575, provide greater flexibility. This means that if you don’t use the coffee maker for two hours, it will automatically power down. However, there are two variations of this feature, each with its own benefits.įixed Auto-Off: Many Keurig models come with a fixed auto-off timer, typically set for 2 hours after the last brewing cycle. This feature can be found in various Keurig models and offers the convenience of automatically powering down your coffee maker at a preset time. To begin, let’s delve into the first type of timer – Programmable Auto-Off. ![]() Let’s explore the three types of Keurig timers and their unique advantages. You can choose the model that best suits your needs based on whether you want auto-off, auto-on, or auto-brew functionality, and whether you prefer flexibility in timer settings or specific fixed options. These three types of Keurig coffee brewers with timers offer different levels of programmability and automation. These timers not only simplify your morning routine but also ensure that your coffee is ready when you want it. Keurig offers three distinct types of timers, each designed to cater to specific preferences and needs. For those that come with a timer, there are different ways the timer are used. However, not every Keurig models come with a programmable timer. One of the features that can greatly enhance your brewing experience is a programmable timer. When it comes to Keurig coffee brewers, convenience is key. Where can I find more information and reviews on specific Keurig models with timers? Can I use Keurig coffee makers with timers in high-altitude areas? Are there any downsides to using Keurig coffee makers with timers? Can I use my own coffee grounds with Keurig models with timers? Do all Keurig models with timers offer auto-brew capabilities? Can I customize the auto-off timer on Keurig models with this feature?

![]() For example, trainees in the 11B infantryman MOS go to Fort Benning, Georgia for their AIT. The length of your AIT depends on the particular MOS you will be trained for. A 20 minute tutorial got me qualified to sit in the turret on OP's. It can last anywhere from 3-6 months, and consists of the three phases: Basic Combat Training (BCT), Advanced Individual Training (AIT), and One Station Unit Training (OSUT). I learned how to run a Bradley pretty damn well as a 19K in a couple weeks in Iraq. Step 2: Basic Combat Training (BCT) Step 3: Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Step 4: Achieving MOS Qualification. Plus the crews generally maintain integrity, while the rotating dismounts usually don't learn shit about the vic period, except how to get in and out. 11M is a little different, but a bradley is pretty damn easy to learn. If not, they are too dumb to be put in that position, and move on to the next on the OML. You can send somebody to a 40 hour course and teach them how to shoot TOWs. ![]() Indices of fairness (e.g. ![]() The ICTL test provides appreciable incremental validity beyond ASVAB-based predictors in the 25B MOS. The AIT length might have been only a difference of a week or so eve back in the 90s, but having been in a Delta company, there was a lot more to it than simply driving the appropriate piece of metal around for whatever generation of guys you hail from. ICTL scores are significantly related to final AIT course grades and perceptions of MOS fit in the 25N MOS. Wether one agrees with it or not, its much more streamlined.ĭo you really think that the only difference between the Bradley guys or in the old days the 11HE9 guys with our 901s and the 11B guys was "learning to steer a Bradley/ 901"? This way, Infantry only has to worry about recruiting, and training 2 MOS's instead of 5 or 6, and then filling 6 MTO&E tables. Infantry does the same since neither are that colossal of a task. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during the training process: Physical training to build strength, endurance, and resilience. The Armor CMF teaches every Cav Scout how to both drive a Bradley AND utilize TOW and Javelin missiles in the span of their OSUT regardless or wether or not the trooper ends up in a light, airborne, air assault, wheeled, or mechanized unit. Requirements of 68W: To become a 68W combat medic, soldiers must first complete Basic Combat Training (BCT) and then attend Advanced Individual Training (AIT). Because it's pointless when you could just take a 11B and spend an extra week (if that) teaching him the fine art of steering a missile or driving a Bradley, and give him an ASI or SQI which identifies him as having a special skill that's not really justifiable as an entirely new MOS. ![]() So what made Dublin, one of the most welcoming cities on Earth, explode in anti-migrant violence?

![]() The no-cloning theorem in quantum mechanics says that we can’t make perfect copies of a qubit’s state. If one of the physical bits gets corrupted to yield 101, we can still infer the correct value of the logical bit to be 1. If a small number of physical bits is corrupted due to noise, say, the remaining bits can still be used to detect and correct the error.įor example, the logical bit 1 is represented by three physical bits, 111. That is, the computer represents each logical bit by multiple physical bits. To handle errors in classical computers, scientists have developed error-correcting algorithms that rely on redundancy. And even before they decohere, random noise caused by non-ideal circuit elements can corrupt the state of the qubits, leading to computing errors.Īll computational systems, including classical computers, suffer from numerical errors. Even the slightest interaction with the environment causes a qubit to collapse into a discrete state of either 0 or 1. Qubits can maintain superposition only for infinitesimally small intervals of time. Such tremendous physical brittleness is not the effect of the materials a qubit is made of but because the effects of quantum mechanics are inordinately sensitive to external conditions. Qubits are even affected by seemingly insignificant disturbances like stray electromagnetic waves, vibrations, temperature fluctuations and possibly cosmic rays. But if you so much as bumped against a table on which there is a functional qubit, it will break. You can drop them on a table and they would still work fine. ![]() The physical objects that represent classical bits are made up of semiconductors. Quantum computers can leverage superposition to execute multiple computational paths simultaneously, giving them their incredible power.īut unlike classical bits, qubits are extremely fragile. ![]() This property of being in two states at the same time is known as superposition. Quantum bits, or qubits 1, on the other hand can exist simultaneously as both 0 and 1, much like Schröndinger’s cat can be both dead and alive. A vocal minority has argued we won’t have one anytime in the foreseeable future.Ī classical computer operates with bits that take the value of either 0 or 1. Some say it will take five years many others estimate it will take decades. So when will we build a useful quantum computer?Įxperts stand divided on this question. The ones we have are barely more than lab prototypes, and the promises are erected on the speculative profits of billions of dollars in the future. For all their promises of the future, humankind still doesn’t have a working quantum computer that can solve problems of practical importance faster than your laptop can. Their slick marketing collaterals may lead you into thinking quantum computers are already commonplace and are routinely being used to solve problems in finance, transportation, materials science, energy and defence, etc.īut if you look beyond the shiny whitepapers and posters, you might be disappointed. On the websites of these companies, you will find a dazzling array of offerings – ranging from software libraries for quantum computing to consulting services. Established technology companies like IBM, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Amazon and Honeywell have recruited highly qualified teams to build quantum computers. Venture capitalists are pouring billions of dollars into startups sprouting out of university departments. Governments around the world are ramping up their investments in quantum computing. We are in the middle of what the journal Nature has called the “quantum gold rush”. A wafer of a set of ‘quantum processors’ built by D-Wave Systems. ![]() This makes our bean bags some of the best choices for gifts, graduations, and even setting up in the college dorm. Why would you want to pay more for something when you could pay less, get better quality, better speed, a better warranty, and an all-around better product? No matter which way you slice it, be it from cost, quality, or shipping time, Ultimate Sack is simply the best.Īn additional factor for Ultimate Sack is the ability to choose your colors for the outer canvas covering, letting you customize your bean bag chairs for your own home, for your office, or even for your favorite sports team. For the cost of a single bean bag chair somewhere else, you could afford to do an entire living room or great room - love seat, couch, ottomans, and the whole nine yards. We know and understand how hard children can be on things as well, which is why we put each of our bean bag chairs out in a "teenager proof" canvas outer sack with a Number 10 Zipper - all the better for you to be able to take it off and wash it in the case of accidents and spills.įurthermore, we are one of the best because of our price. ![]() Frankly, we also know that people are bored with the same old furniture choices, and so having bean bags as an option for things like chairs, couches, and love seats means having an incredibly fun and wonderfully relaxing home, where you can be comfortable no matter where you're sitting. We understand how families work and the durability needed for any kind of furniture. With Ultimate Sack, however, we are able to stand behind the quality of our products, our construction, and our materials. For instance, with some brands of bean bag chair, if you don't register for the warranty, you are getting a ninety day one at best and at worst, you get nothing. Beyond even the domestic shipping, you must endure the wait for whenever the next boat leaves from China or thereabouts.įurthermore, because we make all our own products, we can stand behind them. If you order bean bag chairs from somewhere else, however, you have to deal with the fact that international shipping is significantly slower. For example, when you order an Ultimate Sack from us, the shipping is free, and it will ship to you within a few business days. While this could be said of any product, something that is made here in the United States is often far better made, and far better supported. WHY DOES LOCATION MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO A BEAN BAG CHAIR? So we did what any sane person would do: we decided to make our own, and make sure that our bags were created only from products made here in the United States. If we found a company that had a price we could afford, then the quality was completely gone either the foam was just not comfortable, there wasn't enough of it, or the outer covering of the bag was just poorly made. While the were one or two companies that certainly had the quality, the price was not realistic to be able to buy multiple chairs. ![]() We spent some time doing some research into companies that made bean bag chairs, but very few that we could find really had the quality we were looking for. Originally, we found some that we liked, but they were far too expensive. Our family has loved bean bag chairs since the moment we first got them. Simply put, we couldn't find one we liked. WHY DID WE GET INTO THE BEAN BAG CHAIR BUSINESS? ![]() “Cheese is literally one of the examples on the blade cover.” The dad says, “then please wash it right after you use it.”īen: OK, so first of all, I definitely use my microplane for cheese, like, come on.Īmory: You're not alone.

SD = Schooling deprivation, defined as the share of primary aged children who are out-of-school. LD = Learning deprivation, defined as share of children at the end of primary who read at below the minimum proficiency level, as defined by the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML) in the context of the SDG 4.1.1 monitoring How Learning Poverty is defined The learning poverty indicator is calculated as follows: LP = + By combining schooling and learning, the indicator brings into focus both “more schooling”, which by itself serves a variety of critical functions, as well as “better learning” which is important to ensure that time spent in school translates into acquisition of skills and capabilities. The indicator combines the share of primary-aged children out-of-school who are schooling deprived (SD), and the share of pupils below a minimum proficiency in reading, who are learning deprived (LD). It particularly highlights progress towards SDG 4.1.1(b), which specifies that all children at the end of primary reach at least a minimum proficiency level in reading. The learning poverty indicator allows us to illustrate progress toward SDG 4’s broader goal to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Reading proficiency can serve as a proxy for foundational learning in other subjects. ![]() ![]()
