Please study Chess Pawns structures to avoid bad pawn structures.Bishop chess piece The Bishop is a long-range piece that moves diagonally and can cover as many squares as possible without jumping over a piece and can capture pieces along the way. Hey, that should be enough! Don’t you think? I hope you understand now how a chess pawn can move.

The white chess pawn can take the black one.Ģ.Or he moves ahead one square without taking the rook.(stupid move)Ģ.Or he can move one square ahead without taking the queen.(stupid move) Logical, isn’t it? Use common sense in chess!ġ. ![]() But if he just runs ahead with no protection at all, the black king will catch him.įirst go ahead with your king to keep the black king stay away. White can move his pawn straight ahead to reach the eight rank and make a queen. Many pawn moves in the opening can weaken your chess position in general, as they create weak squares where the enemy can intrude later on. From there it can go forward two squares in one move. And it can go only one square forward unless it is placed on its original square. Keep in mind that once you move a pawn, it cannot return anymore. There are various diagrams below where the moves are explained. It is important that you understand how a Chess Pawn moves. If you promote you just replace the pawn for a queen on the same square. ![]() However, almost always you will promote the pawn to a queen because a queen is the strongest piece and often this will decide the game quickly in your favor once you are a queen up in material. When a pawn reaches the last rank it can be promoted into a queen or any other piece. Only if it captures something, otherwise not. No, of course not! Can a Pawn kill a Queen? A pawn can promote itself on the last rank to a piece of your choice. A pawn can capture another pawn en passant as well, when the opponent’s pawn moves forward two squares from its original position. He can capture a queen, rooks, bishops, knights and pawns. He can give a check to a king but cannot capture a king. He can capture other pawns and pieces sideways while moving forward one square ahead at the same time. A pawn moves forward and can never go backward.

![]() Some registers have well-defined functions: ![]() Are these teens more popular now that they've given a great party? Have they already gotten the idea that women can be bought? Will they expect/demand that celebrities appear at all their social events, since their families are well connected? All in all, like many MTV products, My Super Sweet 16 is both disturbing and addictive.SWEET16 has 16 internal 16-bit registers, named R0. But there are disturbing messages throughout. It can be fun to gawk at the riches - and at the bad behavior of both the kids and parents. It's hard to imagine exactly what this show's point is. (Later his stepmother bribes girls to attend by giving them free clothes from her chic boutique.) Another father is majorly intense, telling his son it's "pathetic" when only five kids RSVP for his party. One mom drinks heavily, and it's unclear if her daughter's father will even show up. Of course, it's not all glitter and glamour. Parents who are well connected can make real impressions on their teens' classmates (Kanye West and Ciara have appeared on the show and performed at parties). One mom took her daughter to Paris to shop for a dress, while the dad of teen boy hired a team of sexy dancers, later claiming to have spent a total of $250,000 for the big bash. If they are, it's a miracle they function in civilized society.Įverything in this show is over the top. ![]() The parents cannot possibly be as stupid and clueless as they allow themselves to be portrayed. I hope that any kid who watches this show is in on the 'joke' and can understand that this behavior is way beyond normal teenage narcissism and borders on sociopathic. I sound like a prude in this posting but in reality smoked for a long time, drink alcohol, and swear a lot, so I thought my tolerance was pretty high. So they need to keep it a secret from him. He doesn't want her to drive a convertible. In the 15 minutes I saw - could not take any more - no mention was made of the dad, other than the Mom knew that Dad won't like the car the girl has selected. Needless to say, she is spewing a constant torrent of ingratitude to her mother, who stands by bemused, as if there is nothing she can do. She said more than once, 'I am the princess', and displayed an unbelievable lack of empathy for anyone else. In another scene, she criticizes her friend for the friend's weight, again in front of a large group. First, the girl passes out party invitations in a park in front of a big crowd when not all are invited. In addition, the lead singer of the band was wearing a T-shirt with lewd content during one of the talking heads.Įxtreme mean girl behavior is demonstrated. The band, as creepy a bunch as I have ever seen hanging around teenage girls, choreographed this 'special birthday' dance move just for her. The dance step she was performing consisted of some extremely suggestive grinding, out in a public park. In another scene, she was shown 'rehearsing' for a music video with a boy band that was to perform at the party. The episode I saw featured a 14 year old from Miami whose mother bought her a $60 K+ car for her 15th. If it is not an enormous joke, then someone should be arrested. It's actually really sad that these teens are gonna grow up and probably become very powerful and inflectional in society. These kids shouldn't be laughed at or given at type of attention. What's the point of showing spoiled little brats throwing tantrums and then getting whatever they want? There's nothing of any value to gain from this show. They sit there laughing at the stupidity and craziness of these rich kids, but at the same time want to have what they have. Teens easily pick up the bullying-envy behavior from this show. However they choose the most obnoxious teens they can find, to be laughed at and call it a tv show. It would be one thing if it was about teens having lascivious parties. All these parents are insane and I can't believe they'd even show their faces with their kids acting like this. MTV banks off teenagers spending their parents money to mimic somewhat, if not exactly the type of behavior that's seen on this show. It always has been and it always will be. I feel, if you think MTV is doing this only for entertainment and not for any form of promotion, that's very naive. However this is MTV, so it's to be expected. ![]() This experience rubric provides Shen with rewards in three different categories: as a cop, as a member of the criminal Triad, and as a citizen of Hong Kong. Testing out Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition reminded me of a facet I hadn't thought much about since I last played it in 2012: its multi-tiered leveling system. But, it's pretty cool that they're here in case you want to mess with them. These separate packs - which feel disjointed and aren't a part of the campaign - don't stack up with the likes of GTA IV’s The Lost and the Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony in terms of the amount of content, the quality of the new characters, or even new objectives. Both the supernatural-themed Nightmare in North Point and the cop-centric Year of the Snake are included, though I wasn't blown away by either. Play Content-wise, the only notable difference between the old-gen version of Sleeping Dogs and the Definitive Edition is the inclusion of DLC. In short, Sleeping Dogs is bound to keep you very busy not only when keeping up with its story, but in simply doing everything within it there is to do. There's a ton of collectibles to discover in addition to its meaty campaign, with tons of offshoot side quests to complete. Likewise, fighting - whether with your fists, a melee weapon, or a firearm - is also a lot of fun. Developer United Front Games has crafted a believable and incredibly busy version of Hong Kong that's simply a blast to drive around, explore, and uncover. Its driving mechanics are on-point, with lots of different vehicles toting unique feels, from run-down motorcycles and hulking industrial trucks to supped-up sedans and expensive sports cars, and everything in between. Of course, Sleeping Dogs has plenty for you if story isn't your thing. He seems as real as a character in a movie. He's not a nameless hero or a loosely constructed anyman. Shen’s embedded himself with the Hong Kong underworld in order to unravel it from within, and watching him get sucked further and further into peril is fascinating. ![]() ![]() Shen – who's voiced wonderfully by Will Yun Lee in both English and Cantonese, is an interesting protagonist, one with true depth. Sleeping Dogs revolves around an undercover Hong Kong detective named Wei Shen. Again, though, I have to sing the praises of the story. It doesn't look like a native new-gen game by any stretch of the imagination, however - and it’s disappointing that the framerate stutters a bit when you're on foot running around and exploring, and the camera is still a bit messy in certain circumstances. On the Xbox One version I played, draw distances are vastly extended, textures are much sharper, and the overall gloss of the entire convincing recreation of Hong Kong is improved. 14 Images As far as the aesthetic is concerned, Sleeping Dogs was never an exceptionally pretty game, but The Definitive Edition resolves some of its biggest visual faults and brings it more in line with the PC version. ![]() Winning traders don’t let what happens after they enter or exit affect what they do on the next trade. What happened after your decision did not determine whether you made the correct decision or not. ![]() 9/10 times buying penny stock up 300% on the day will not work. But in trading, the correct decision isn’t determined by the outcome of 1 trade. In hindsight, it looks like you made the correct decision because you made money. Most of the time a penny stock that is up almost 300% will not follow through to the long side. You made money, but did you make a high probability decision? The answer is no. Here’s an example, but in the opposite scenario described above: You decided to trade $CEI yesterday, and you bought it at $8 and sold at $9: Even if the stock fails and you lose money, you did the right thing. What happens after you enter doesn’t matter. Once a stock gives you a setup that you KNOW makes you money in the long run, it is your duty to be in the stock no matter what. What happened after does not validate your decision.Įven on a setup you have a 70% win rate (and a solid risk vs reward on), there is still a 30% chance of it failing. A stock goes in any direction at any given moment. It is based on the probability of what was happening at THAT moment. The correct trading decisions are actually not based on what happened after you made the decision to buy or not buy (or short or not short). In order to overcome hindsight bias, you have to think in terms of probabilities. ![]() But you won’t be able to actually make money from the markets until you learn how to capitalize on opportunities BEFORE the stock makes a move. It is easy to seem like a genius in the markets by talking in hindsight. Hindsight analysis tells you nothing about how you could capitalize on a similar opportunity in the future. When it goes down, they say its because of trade war concerns weighing down the overall market (or whatever major geopolitical issue is going on in that moment). When Facebook’s stock goes up, analysts say its cause of its great fundamentals. In mainstream finance, hindsight analysis is pretty much the norm. But was it so obvious that you bought too low or sold to high at that moment? Would you be saying you did something wrong if the stock went in your favor? Hindsight Analysis It is also easy to say “ I should’ve sold higher” when the stock kept trading higher. It is easy to go back and look at a trade and say “I should’ve bought lower” because the stock traded lower than your entry for a period of time. “If I held and sold there I would’ve made 10 grand.” “If I bought there I would’ve caught the whole move”. In trading, everything seems obvious hindsight. It is one of the most common reasons why traders cannot improve their trading results. This is a phenomenon witnessed in trading on a regular basis. The textbook definition of hindsight bias is the psychological of people to overestimate their ability to have predicted an outcome that could not possibly have been predicted. Let’s start by defining exactly what hindsight bias is: What is Hindsight Bias? In order to become a consistently profitable trader, you have to learn how to combat this psychological issue that you will face on a daily basis. Hindsight bias is one of the most common psychological issues that stop traders from objectively viewing their trading results, and figuring out methods to improve them. Most of the issues all lie within your self. What makes it so difficult is not that the system is rigged against you, or anything external. It’s no secret that trading will be one of the hardest endeavors you will ever attempt. ![]() People within an 18.4km radius would be impacted, including some living in neighbouring counties Meath, Kildare and Wicklow. NukeMap showing what would happen if a Topol (SS-25) nuclear bomb hit Dublin (Image: nukemap/Alex Wellerstein) If this nuclear bomb were to land in Dublin city centre, it could kill an estimated 337,700 people and injure a further 482,250, according to the NUKEMAP. ![]() ![]() The warhead is 800 kiloton and can deliver a payload of 1,000 kg to a range of 11,000 km. We used the Topol (SS-25), which is currently in Russia's arsenal, to see what would happen if it hit various locations around Ireland. The map allows you to choose from a wide range of nuclear weapons already produced, tested or used. He explained: “We live in a world where nuclear weapons issues are on the front pages of our newspapers on a regular basis, yet most people still have a very bad sense of what an exploding nuclear weapon can actually do." The website NUKEMAP was created by Alex Wellerstein, a historian of nuclear weapons, in a bid to “help people visualize nuclear weapons and get a sense of the scale of the bombs.” Users can check the potential impact of a nuke being detonated in their town, including the number of fatalities and injuries it could cause. It comes as a frightening interactive map shows how much of Ireland could be destroyed if a nuclear bomb hit. If its territorial integrity is threatened, Russia will use all the means at its disposal to protect our people. Speaking on Wednesday morning from his office, he said: "The West has engaged in nuclear blackmail against us. READ MORE: Vladimir Putin issues ominous nuclear bomb threat to West and says it 'is not a bluff' He also warned the West he was “not bluffing” when he said he would be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend his country. The Russian President made a rare national address overnight, during which he announced he had signed a decree stating that Russian reservists will be conscripted into the country's military from Wednesday in what is Russia's first mobilisation since World War Two. There’s been a worrying escalation in Russia’s war on Ukraine after Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilisation of forces and made yet another nuclear threat. ![]() It has come to my attention that my Revit Key Plans article can be hard to follow, particularly if you are not familiar with some of the concepts or procedures used. ![]() It was not intended to be a step-by-step tutorial, so I am providing this post to fill in some of the gaps and make it easier to follow along.

Determine how your Key Plan needs to function.In the New Family - Select Template File dialog, navigate to the folder where you or your firm have placed the Annotation Family Templates, and choose Generic Annotation.rft. I do not want to have to place the Key Plan family separately on each Sheet I want it to be part of the title block family so that it need only be placed once, and will always be in the exact same position on each Sheet. I also do not want to set up a title block family type for each Key Plan option. I do not want to show a Key Plan on every sheet in the set, so I will need a Key Plan type that shows nothing at all. I thought they were fixed briefly because I remade the views and checked on that issue before I set the View Template. There will be plans that show the overall building, as well as larger scale plans showing only one of the two wings. I cant change my workset visibility settings within my visibility graphics dialog because they are defined within the view template. I want a solid fill to show in the Key Plan indicating the area that is being shown on that drawing. Create the graphics for your Key Plan.I also want to be able to show the Key Plan outline graphics with no fill. You are going to have to figure this one out on your own. This workaround is not very elegant, but it works, and allows me to set up the graphical representation very precisely in my compiled model without having to open each model to edit the visibility settings of a coordination view called in the main model with the “By linked view” function.There does not appear to be a way to make use of any sort of graphics in a project file and transfer them to a family file. I use these filters to apply specific visibility settings in my coordination model. These worksets can now be used to create filters containing every element of the specified trade. So I decide to use a workaround to define graphical representation in my coordination model.Įach trade model contain a limited amount of worksets, each draftsman working on his own linked model, so I was able to create the same worksets in my compiled model. This is due to the Graphic Overrides set up for each system in the linked model. I didn’t want to remove these overrides which are pretty convenient for setting up visibility settings in trade models. If this method works well for most element, it doesn’t change the color of various HVAC and plumbing systems. I firstly set custom Display Settings on each linked model, using an override for every element category. This graphical representation must also be editable directly in the compiled model, without having to open every trade model to change color settings. These models are linked inside a coordination model for producing synthesis views and drawings. On this model, I need a specific graphical representation for the coordination team, while every team keeps their usual representation on their own model. ![]() In this project, each discipline is designed in its very own Revit model. A recent request from a client make me think on the different possibilities for displaying a linked MEP model in a general coordination model. ![]() On a rainy night, Yang, a disgraced student of a martial arts school in China, leads a raid on his former school along with four other martial artists: Fajar "The Botanist", a ferocious middle-aged man who wields a machete and never talks Sean "The Fighter", an arrogant young man who wields a bo staff and regards the school's students as weak Kuroki "The Artist", a young Japanese woman who wields a bladed three-section staff and Jinfeng "The CEO", an elderly, one-armed woman who wields a rope dart. As the player completes multiple runs, they can access the "detective board", where the information collected across different runs will be stored, and secret areas and shortcuts may open up. Abilities are lost when the player character dies, though it is possible to permanently unlock upgrades so that they are available at the beginning of each run. They can also visit the " wuguan", a kung fu school, to practice their skills in between levels. Players will encounter shrines, which will be the place where they heal and unlock new skills. Eventually, it will no longer be possible to revive, and the next death will end the game. As the player character ages, their strikes will be more powerful, but they will have less health. When the player dies in the game, they are magically resurrected at the spot where they die and age several years. Occasionally, the player may be presented with dialogue options, which can enable them to potentially avoid combat altogether depending on their choice of words. The last enemy in a combat section may sometimes enter a state of uncontrolled frenzy, essentially becoming a miniboss. For instance, the player may kick an enemy off a ledge, or utilize various objects as makeshift weapons. The game allows players to take advantage of the environment and improvise new attacks or alter their strategy when facing a stronger opponent. ![]() A successful parry allows the player to stun the enemy or throw them toward a particular direction. Alternatively, players can also evade attacks or parry when an enemy is about to land a blow. Players can also block strikes, though this will gradually fill their gauge. When the gauge is completely filled, the guard of these characters will break and they will become vulnerable to finishing attacks. The protagonist and all hostile enemy characters have a "structural gauge". Basic attack moves can be chained together, though some combos may grant players additional tactical opportunities, such as being able to knock down enemies or stun them. ![]() The game, which is inspired by Bak Mei kung fu, includes over 150 unique attacks. Sifu is an action beat 'em up game played from a third-person perspective. ![]() It received generally positive reviews, with praise for its combat, environments, and story, and sold more than 1 million units within one month of release. The game was released on 8 February 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows, on 8 November 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, and on 28 March 2023 for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. When the player character becomes too old, they can die permanently, in which case players must restart the level from the beginning and from the same age as their initial attempt. Every time the protagonist dies, they are resurrected by a magical talisman and age up, gaining access to more powerful attacks but reducing their health. Set in modern-day China, players control the child of a martial arts school's sifu (master) who seeks revenge on those responsible for their father's death. Sifu is a beat 'em up video game developed and published by French studio Sloclap. ![]() All OBDII features to be had, unfastened, and powered by using Autel Diagnostics.

In fact, I've come to rely on it a little too much. ![]() I rely on this little app for every podcast that I do. Any time you need to clear your throat, sigh, sniff, sneeze, cry, etc, all you have to do is hit a button on your keyboard and the mic will go silent. The app is called Shush and can be purchased for $4.99 from the Mac App Store. Better yet, your listeners won't know that you've hit the mute button. Thankfully I found an app that lets you quietly mute your microphone from your keyboard, creating a quick USB mic mute switch for podcasters. In other words, that physical mute button on the Yeti and other podcast mics doesn't make things any easier. There's no point in being able to mute yourself if your listeners will hear you hitting a clunky button, and then that noise will either distract the listener, or you'll have to edit out that noise in editing. Sure, some USB microphones have a physical mute button built in to the device, but some mics - like Blue's Yeti - will make a physical clicking noise every time you hit the stupid button. But us modern day podcast hosts don't have access to one of these because we have USB mics, so what to do? Most radio hosts have something called a "Cough Drop" for a microphone - it's a physical button that hooks up to your mic and lets you quickly mute yourself - for coughs. This is a problem that's as old as radio. Bodily noises are a reality of putting your mouth right in front of microphone, and if you don't want those bad sounds being recorded in the first place, you need a mute switch. You and your co-hosts' audio recordings should only have your words, and none of that other stuff!Īs a podcast editor and host, I'm adamant about creating a great sounding podcast. If you can't quickly and quietly mute yourself while recording a podcast, your mic will pick up each sneeze, sniff, cough, breath and any other weird noise that shouldn't be included in your show. I feel uncomfortable if I'm recording without a mute button on my USB microphone, and you might feel the same way. Mutify automatically adjusts the volume to 100% in case the volume is set below 25% to avoid being stuck with very low mic volume for unsuspecting users.If you're looking for a cough button for your USB podcasting microphone, you're in luck: I have a great digital mute switch solution and a physical button solution! You can set a Mic volume and Mutify will toggle between 0 and the volume set by you. Please note that there is a Mic volume control option in the menubar dropdown. Having the floating mute/unmute & menu bar buttons is super functional. "Mutify is much more convenient than switching back/forth from the Zoom & Teams UI's to mute my mic. I bought it just for mute control, but the additional functionality is helpful. I had a very particular request (needed support for lower volumes) and in no more than 10 days (after contacting the developer) I've got a newer version updated with my request implemented Excellent!!" "Awesome support, the utility does what is supposed to do. This one here is a great solution for professional conferencing and recording!" Either they cannot work with external mics, or they are not well maintained and old, or the UX is cumbersome. "I tried the free alternatives before, but most have an disadvanteage.
