![]() Skin Cancer Prevention For The Active Girl All this time outdoors, while generally an awesome thing, might be having a not-so-great effect on skin: Frequent exercisers were found to have a higher risk for melanoma, per research published by the Library of Science, which concluded that UV exposure was likely to blame. In fact, more than 50 percent of women exercise outside, and they spend an average of five hours per week doing so, according to one survey. What’s more, the number of people exercising outdoors is increasing (likely a by-product of pandemic-era habits), according to recent data. The data is clear: 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 86 percent of melanomas are associated with UV radiation, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF), so protecting your skin when outside, whether by the pool or pounding the pavement, is crucial. There’s a good chance those habits contributed to her diagnosis. “I’d use some during long runs or when I was cycling, but I never reapplied or wore it during outdoor swims.” “I’d put sunscreen on in the summer or at the beach, but not during training,” she says. and later at the international level-she had often spent six to nine hours a week training outside, more focused on her workouts than on her sun-protection habits. ![]() But, having competed as a triathlete from the ages of 18 to 35-first at the University of Bath in the U.K. She’d only just retired from her athletic career at the time of her diagnosis.

Your inactive soldiers will continue to do jobs outside the military if they don't have a place to train or an active schedule. In order to make them spar/demonstrate you need to activate the squad, either via the s menu and then hitting t, or by the m- a menu. However, sparring management is still a poorly understood science.īuilding a barracks and designating a squad to train in it will allow squad members to train there individually instead of going idle, but they will never spar/demonstrate. Both dwarves should have the same weapon, to minimize useless cross-weapon teaching. It is currently believed that the best way to encourage sparring (rather than demonstrations) is to use 2 (or 3)-dwarf squads for training. Demonstrations tend to confer skill increases much more slowly than sparring, particularly with low teacher, student and organizer skills. Specifically, sparring with weapons is always safe, but if you are training the wrestling skill, giving your soldiers a helm and body armor is advised (see Injury).ĭemonstrations are teaching sessions, organized by one dwarf, led by another dwarf (teacher), and observed by one or more other dwarves (student). Sparring is a mostly safe way to get experienced soldiers. Sparring is a form of non-lethal practice melee combat performed by two or more members of a squad. Have an active training order for the squad.Designate a barracks and have the squad set to train there.Define a squad with members (equip with whatever armor and weapons you like).A squad with active orders delivered through the squad menu will carry out those orders, taking breaks to eat or sleep, but will not train. A squad set to the default Active/Training alert level (or a more complicated schedule using the advanced calendar system) will train in their assigned barracks. Now your squad is set to be training, and has a place to train in. ![]() A T should appear on the right side of the screen beside that squad's name. ![]() Highlight which squad you wish to train and press t. Now query a bed, weapon rack, and/or armor stand to designate a barracks. Open the alerts panel, then assign the squad to Active/Training (or establish a more complex schedule of alerts). This is accomplished by opening the m ilitary screen. Instead, you need to schedule his or her squad to train. You cannot directly assign a soldier to train. Aside from a few specific circumstances, wooden training weapons are not necessary for training, and can actually be counterproductive. Your soldiers will eventually pick up the equipment assigned in the military screen, though it is not uncommon to find them wandering around weaponless and half-armored when first drafted. When soldiers spar or perform weapon drills, they practice (and thereby gain experience) with whatever weapon (plus armor and shield in the case of sparring) they currently have equipped. ![]() The weapons you wish your soldiers to use can be chosen through the military screen, and then the equip selection. Training takes many forms, from solo practice to direct instruction to sparring to actual (controlled) combats.

ISO 1600 is quickly becoming my favorite setting for concert work, due to the very clean files and great overall image quality.Įven though these images were shot during only the first minute of the performance (excluding the overall wide venue shot), those 60 seconds seemed longer than you'd think.

Thanks to the constant lighting, I shot the entire set locked at 1/500 at f/3.5 and ISO 1600. I used the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR on the Nikon D3 for the entirety of this set, with the exception of the last shot of the venue, which was made with the Nikon 14-24mm f2/8. Needless to say, the 60 seconds went by in a flash, and I was being signaled that time was up just as the first song really got going!Īs I've come to expect, this performance was lit with two spotlights from far back in the balcony, which provided a nice, constant treatment on Gladys Knight.īackground lighting was a mixed treatment that shifted between various accent colors.

You can do as you will, but if I could go back in time and tell myself to not do the trip with EF.I would do it in a heartbeat. ![]() Because it definitely did not go towards a good trip. If I'm paying so much money for a trip, EF must be pocketing a lot of it. All of the hotels were dirty, outdated, and cheap. EF gave me long, grueling, inconvenient layovers in some random cities - and this was obviously to cut corners on the flights to keep more of my money. For flights, from where I live there are plenty of nonstop flights going to where I was going to for this trip. It was so upsetting, and a waste of money. But the places EF led us to to eat, was so awful. Eating good quality food with good people is what makes any trip or event memorable. Starting with the meals, EF plans trips in some amazing cities, and the food is probably the most exciting part of these cities and a huge part of what makes it fantastic. But be warned, EF will give you terrible and cheap meals, accommodations, and flights. I loved my group and I loved my tour director. The only really great thing about this trip was the people. I just recently came back from a trip with EF, and it was so beyond disappointing. I'm posting on here because EF doesn't post reviews 3 stars or less on their website (which is automatically a huge red flag). ![]() ![]() ![]() While before I was crunching this stack down into a final object – meaning I had to lerp UnityEngine.Gradients, meaning allocation – if I instead just stored the necessary information of the stack and processed it as I went, then I didn’t really need to store the result of the stack anywhere. A weighted normalized stack in this context is just a mapping of biome to weight, which is a number between one and zero, where all the weights combined add up to 1. What I really needed, I thought, was the ability to apply a weighted normalized stack of skybox configurations to a weight. So I took the interpolation back to the drawing board. Just getting the alpha and color keys of a UnityEngine.Gradient allocates memory. I experimented with pooling these gradients, but it was kind of a rabbit hole. However, Time of Day implements animated colors via the UnityEngine’s Gradient class, which contains two arrays of the color keys and alpha keys, meaning it’s allocation city. This was easy to do in the previous version of Time of Day, because all the configuration was structs or value types so we could do quick lerps without allocation. You need to interpolate, or tween, between the configurations. A cell can contain an arbitrary amount of biomes at different strengths. One of the requirements for a skybox is interpolation. However, it did lead to an interesting performance issue. Previously we had to implement this ourselves with this whole layer of abstraction, and now we don’t need to, which makes the whole system way cleaner and better. This means things like if you want the color of the sun to change throughout the day, this is now much more viable. Also, the latest Time of Day implements natively animated parameters. There are some pretty nice features in it, like a cool atmospheric scattering effect, which might make the world look a bit prettier with minimal effort. We also upgraded Time of Day, the skybox plugin that we use for skybox rendering. A map will now have a ‘base biome’, which acts as a fallback for when there is no mapping for the cell a player is in. Now, their configuration is entirely serialized and configurable, everything from the color of the sun to the temperature to if you want it to blast a gazillion units of radiation every day at noon for an hour. They are no longer concrete enumerations that are linked to a script that builds how they work. While that will still be an option, we now have a MapMagic output that will work as well, and a biome painting tool in the editor.īiomes have changed a bit in how they work. While the ShigiTools biome tool was usable, it wasn’t super user friendly. The first thing that needed doing was rethinking the usability of the biome tools we have in place. This refactor will enable users to specify custom biomes, weather systems and biome-influenced client effects in the SDK, something that was previously impossible. I also kept fiddling with and making some biomes. This week my SDK work has extended into reworking the biome, weather and skybox system (it’s really sort of one system, so the reworking encompasses all of it). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can use the program to record conversations, audio files, videos, and other sources for accurate transcription.
