Test of the plague doctor12/29/2023 ![]() ![]() De Lorme thought the beak shape of the mask would give the air sufficient time to be suffused by the protective herbs before it hit plague doctors’ nostrils and lungs. Plague doctors filled their masks with theriac, a compound of more than 55 herbs and other components like viper flesh powder, cinnamon, myrrh, and honey. Sweet and pungent perfumes were thought to be able to fumigate plague-stricken areas and protect the smeller nosegays, incense, and other perfumes were common in the era. ![]() In the times before the germ theory of disease, physicians believed that the plague spread through poisoned air that could create an imbalance in a person’s humors, or bodily fluids. ( Memories of the plague resonate in Venice during the coronavirus pandemic.)īut the forbidding ensemble was not just a deathly fashion statement: It was intended to protect the doctor from miasma. Though plague doctors across Europe wore these outfits, the look was so iconic in Italy that the "plague doctor" became a staple of Italian commedia dell’arte and carnival celebrations-and is still a popular costume today. Their head gear was particularly unusual: Plague doctors wore spectacles, de Lorme continued, and a mask with a nose “half a foot long, shaped like a beak, filled with perfume with only two holes, one on each side near the nostrils, but that can suffice to breathe and carry along with the air one breathes the impression of the enclosed further along in the beak.” Plague doctors also carried a rod that allowed them to poke (or fend off) victims. He described an outfit that included a coat covered in scented wax, breeches connected to boots, a tucked-in shirt, and a hat and gloves made of goat leather. The costume is usually credited to Charles de Lorme, a physician who catered to the medical needs of many European royals during the 17th century, including King Louis XIII and Gaston d'Orléans, son of Marie de Médici.

Surviving mars below and beyond xbox12/29/2023 Instead of the reds and browns (and then greens) of Mars. Both facets are also compelling because they have a strikingly different visual design from everything else in the game. It also adds a good timed element to the game because asteroids are only near Mars’ orbit for a short time, so you have to pick your moments and get out before you get left behind. This was an excellent direction to take the game in, as it gives you a couple more loops that you always have to have in the back of your mind as you manage your colony. I had the most fun in this DLC with the asteroids. Still, if you want to colonise down below, you will need sturdier materials, which is good because it just so happens that several asteroids are coming close to Mars’ orbit with Exotic Minerals just perfect for the new task. You can use technologies found in the new Recon and Expansion tech tree to make exploring safer. The one big drawback is that they are very dangerous as cave falls can crush rovers and cut off passageways. Here there are large tunnels, old lava tubes, so large that you could both explore and even colonise them. The essential overview of this new DLC is that while exploring the surface of Mars, you have come across these vents under the surface. For a long time, this looked like it would be the final stop for the game, but recently there was a surprise announcement of a new DLC Below and Beyond, which we will look at today. While it was full of promise, it hit its stride with the Green Planet DLC, allowing you to terraform Mars into an oasis gradually. This is a strategy game/ city builder about constructing the first human colony on Mars with drones, domes, and danger, oh my. Over the years, one of the games I come back to once in a while has been Surviving Mars.

Command line missing coolterm12/29/2023 Other Uses for CoolTermĬoolTerm is not only suitable for basic serial communication monitoring. This allows us to save our data into a convenient txt file for further analysis on our preferred platforms. In this case, we can proceed to Connection > Capture to Text/Binary File > Start…. Sometimes, we may want to analyse the collected data further. We can select disconnect when we are finished to stop the transmission. This will begin the data transmission between the Arduino and the computer, and the data will start appearing. Otherwise, our data will not be received and interpreted correctly.Īfter selecting the appropriate options, return to the main screen and click “Connect”. It is important to match the baud rate on the terminal with what we have programmed into the Arduino. The baud rate defines how quickly data is transmitted between devices. Then, select the appropriate port for my Arduino, and ensure that the baud rate is 9600. With the Arduino prepared and plugged into our computer, open CoolTerm and select OPTIONS. Next, download CoolTerm from Roger Meier’s website. I have uploaded a simple sketch from Arduino Project Hub to the Arduino to use the sensor as a rangefinder, and to return the distance detected. Today’s example will involve an Arduino Uno board with a HC-SR94 Ultrasonic Sensor. In this section, I will show you how we can use CoolTerm to easily monitor some sensor data in real time. ![]() How to use CoolTerm to Monitor Arduino DataĪrduino is a popular microcontroller platform that utilises serial port communication. In this case, we have to make use of a serial terminal like CoolTerm to perform tests on data transmitting and receiving. This will help us to ensure that everything is working as expected. ![]() Compared to parallel communication (4, 8 or 64-bit), serial communication is popular in embedded systems due to low cost and effective long-distance transmission.įor makers and engineers, we sometimes need to monitor the data that is transmitted between our devices and computer. Serial communication continues to be used all around us today. If you are unfamiliar with serial communication and want to know more, please visit our detailed beginner’s guide – RS232 vs TTL: Beginner Guide to Serial Communication. In contrast, parallel communication sends several bits as a whole, through a few parallel channels. What makes serial communication distinct is that data is sent sequentially one bit at a time through a single channel. What is Serial Communication?Īs you might have guessed, serial communication is used to send and receive data to peripheral devices. This makes CoolTerm a popular and affordable option for users who need a convenient and effective serial terminal software solution. CoolTerm is a user-friendly terminal for serial communication with hardware that has been connected to your computer via serial ports.ĬoolTerm is freeware/donationware developed by Roger Meier, and is available for Windows / Mac / Linux devices. The Banner Sagais one of the best turn-based RPGs to come out in recent memory, and the iOS port is the perfect way to play it. It’s a classic game that’s still worth revisiting whether you’re playing it for the first or hundredth time. BioWare developed the game, so you can expect a great story, branching narrative choices, and loads of great characters. The player must uncover their past as they train to become a Jedi and fight for either the light or dark side of the force.

There’s a downside, and that’s those excessive microtransactions, which might make this a no-go for some players.

We cover everything from ports to iOS exclusives. If that’s what you’re looking for, here are the best RPGs for iOS you can play right now. They offer hours of play, great stories, character customization, and deep combat and mechanics. Of course, the best time-sinks regardless of platform are RPGs.
Got dragon battle12/29/2023 ![]() While not a really emotional conflict, like some later big battle episodes in Game of Thrones, it was pure spectacle. The Battle of the Stepstones, however, is one that spared no expense. Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) is accidentally knocked out in the beginning of the fight, only to wake up when it was over. In the first season of Game of Thrones, producers found a clever way to do their battle on the cheap. Yet, the Battle of the Stepstones the show gave us is all fans ever really wanted from Game of Thrones: a big, old Dragon party.īig battle scenes, especially those set in fantasy realms, are very expensive to produce. Some might have hoped that Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) would stay bogged down in the war for a few episodes. Martin, House of the Dragons fans didn't know what to expect in regards to pacing. Given the expansive nature of Fire & Blood by George R.R. If you’ve missed any of the episodes so far, you can catch up streaming with an HBO Max subscription.The following contains spoilers for House of the Dragon Season 1, Episode 3 "Second of his Name," which debuted Sunday, Sep. ET on HBO in the 2022 TV premiere schedule. Will things heat up between Rhaenyra and Ser Criston, despite his vows and her obligations? How will Daemon return to King’s Landing? Will Alicent have another son? Find out what House of the Dragon has in store with the next new episode, airing on Sunday, September 11 at 9 p.m. The episode was jam-packed with developments that raise more questions about what’s on the way. And frankly, I wouldn’t complain if we got more of Daemon, Corlys, and Laenor banding together after their time together in the Stepstones. Matt Smith was no Doctor as Daemon in this episode, and I’m already ready to rewatch the sequence. If Otto Hightower had been present, I have to imagine that he’d think twice about ever entering into a standoff with Daemon ever again like he did in Episode 2. Daemon powered on through sheer force of will. The whole battle was messy and dirty and occasionally even clumsy as Daemon grew tired and was injured, which raised the stakes and added a sense of realism to a very fantastical sequence. As somebody whose first experience with Matt Smith was as the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who, this episode and Daemon’s crazy double-cross on the beach fully convinced me that Smith is the right man for the character. He’s honestly very lucky that he didn’t perish in the mission, especially after taking three arrows to his body. Note to every single one of Daemon’s enemies in the Seven Kingdoms: if you tell him that he can’t do something, he may well go on a suicide mission to try and wreak enough havoc to take you down. (Image credit: HBO) Matt Smith Crushed The Final Battle Sequence As Daemon He was a pretty chilling villain, for all that he only appeared in a little bit of Season 1, and the battle also revealed Laenor as a dragonrider, which is almost certainly going to be important down the line. It’s not guaranteed that the fighting is completely done in the Stepstones just because Daemon sliced the Crabfeeder in two, but that enemy has been quite definitively defeated. (Although that conflict was pretty epic!) If anything, the war seemed designed to reveal some layers to Daemon’s character: he’s willing to put himself in very serious danger if there’s a chance at getting the job done, violently resents the idea of needing his brother’s aid to save his cause, and drives his men too hard if his cause is losing. (Image credit: HBO) The Stepstones War Is Seemingly OverĮven though Daemon, Corlys, Corlys’ son and brother, and men-at-arms have been fighting the war in the Stepstones for around three years, viewers only watched the conflict against the Crabfeeder for one episode. Otto wants his grandson on the Iron Throne, and Viserys may not see that his Hand’s goal is in opposition of his daughter’s. Still, Otto still has Alicent obeying him, and Viserys doesn’t seem to suspect any kind of deception or ulterior motives from his wife. ![]() Viserys may not be the strongest king, but he’s holding fast on this one.īut can Viserys outfox Otto Hightower? He still seems to have full trust in his Hand, although he flatly shut down Otto’s suggestion that he betroth Rhaenyra to her two-year-old half brother. Although he did question his decision while drunk, he is fully committed to Rhaenyra as his heir and even revealed that he wants her to marry so that she can solidify her claim by producing heirs of her own. Viserys and Rhaenyra had a long overdue conversation by the end of the episode, when she finally came out and accused her father of planning to replace her with Aegon now that he has a son who can take her place as heir to the Iron Throne. (Image credit: HBO) Viserys Hasn’t Changed His Mind About Rhaenyra, But Otto Has Plans Greyhound manager 2 reloaded12/29/2023 ![]() Marie last week in time for the beginning of the Greyhounds training camp prior to the start of the 2022-2023 OHL season.
