![]() ![]() The rock huts serve no purpose in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl however, in Pokémon Platinum, they contain warp points that send the player to another rock hut in the park. After accessing Amity Square for the first time, the player will be given the ability to walk with one Pokémon outside of Amity Square. The camera's angle inside Amity Square can be tilted or zoomed to provide additional views of the player and Pokémon. A Poffin making machine is situated in the northern section of the square, where Poffins can be made alongside the player's Pokémon. Also, all eligible Pokémon in the player's party will be taken out to Amity Square at the one time. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the allowed Pokémon pool is expanded further to include Eevee and its evolutions. Of special note, Pokémon Platinum allows all three of the Sinnoh starter Pokémon and their entire evolution families. Rather than being able to cross the entire square as in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, it has been separated into exclusive east and west sides, each only accessible via their respective gate. It now includes a rather large pool of water on the west side, with a model of the Sinnoh region within. In Pokémon Platinum, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. Pokémon will fetch Berries, Accessories D P Pt or Stickers BD SP for their owners after a certain number of steps. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the Pikachu interaction system that was in Pokémon Yellow. The square is a place where Trainers can stroll peacefully with Pokémon.Īmity Square (Japanese: ふれあい 広場 Petting Square) is a park in Sinnoh where Trainers can walk around with their Pokémon and talk to them to check their moods. If you were looking for the homonymous location in Fiore, see Fall City. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.The Planet’s Future Depends on a Stable China-U.S.Ambassador Qin Gang, China's Foreign Minister Called US Secretary of State Antony Blinken ().Let us keep to the direction of good-neighborliness and cooperation, work together to build our common home, and forge a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future, with a view to creating a better future for Asia. Standing at a new historical starting point, China is ready to work with ASEAN to stay good neighbors who help each other, good friends who respect and trust each other, and good partners who pursue mutual benefit. President Xi Jinping has proposed the building of a peaceful, safe and secure, prosperous, beautiful and amicable home, charting the course for China-ASEAN relations. In November 2021, China and ASEAN took the lead in establishing a comprehensive strategic partnership. China will work with ASEAN to uphold the purposes and principles of the TAC, act on true multilateralism, and safeguard regional rules and order to preserve the hard-won peace and development in the region. China firmly supports ASEAN unity and ASEAN Community building, and supports ASEAN centrality in the regional architecture. Together, they have built the ASEAN-centered and widely recognized rules and order in the region. As a fundamental political document of ASEAN, the TAC has purposes and principles that are highly aligned with the UN Charter, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the Bandung Spirit and embody the Asian Way and Asian wisdom. Our cooperation has become an example of most vibrant and productive cooperation in the Asia-Pacific, effectively promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the region.ĪSEAN is one of the most successful regional cooperation organizations in the world. Over the past 20 years, especially the last decade since President Xi Jinping put forward the idea of building a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future, China and ASEAN have successfully followed a path of good-neighborliness and common development. This is not only a milestone in China-ASEAN relations but also an event of great significance for the whole region. China is the first among major countries to join the TAC and to establish a strategic partnership with ASEAN. On October 8, 2003, China officially acceded to the Treaty of Amity and and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC). I would like to extend warm congratulations to the opening of the Jakarta Forum on ASEAN-China Relations: Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of China’s Accession to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia. ![]() ![]() ![]() Introduce them on the new cat’s turf and limit the time they spend together while you closely monitor their behavior. Close encounterĭon’t hold the cats in your arms when they first meet or you could be the unintended victim of a catfight. Gradual introductions are essential for long-term brotherly/sisterly love. Cats introduced too quickly may fight and never learn to get along. It may take weeks or months for a cat to adjust to their new lifestyle. ![]() Keep the fur from flyingĬats are solitary, territorial creatures by nature so don’t force siblings together. In the beginning, give your new cat a room of its own and be sure to spend a lot of alone time with him/her those first few days. This is one time when siblings shouldn’t share the same room. Your new cat will have his own check up within a few days of coming home, and a bath to eliminate fleas is also wise. ![]() Check upsīefore you introduce your new cat to the family, all pets should get a vet visit to ensure they’re healthy. However, it’s more important to match temperaments than pick sexual opposites. General rule of thumb: Choose a smaller, younger, opposite-gendered cat. It’s not wise to team timid felines with alpha cats. Is your “top cat” energetic and healthy? Then a kitten might be the perfect match. Extroverted and assertive cats do well with like-minded social butterflies. CAUTION: If your resident feline has physical limitations, it’s not a good time to adopt another cat at all. Their high-octane energy may be too stressful for an older cat, especially if he/she is sickly. If your first-born cat is elderly, steer clear of kittens. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you already have a multimeter it will also work. It plugs into a cigarette lighter socket and shows the voltage of your batteries. If you have a 12V battery system, then one of the most useful items you can have is a Voltmeter. To understand this, look at the following chart comparing a conventional Wet Cell battery and an AGM battery where the voltage reading shows approximate charge left.įigure 1: Voltage indicating charge left. You need to know a few things first.įirst, you cannot use 100% of a battery for anything useful. We can use a voltmeter to get the voltage, and this can be used to get a good approximation. For example this chest fridge used at Thredbo in winter may last 300 hours, but in Darwin in summer only 72 hours if you keep exchanging the beer! How many Amp Hours do you really get from a 100ah battery?Īmp Hours (ah) is the rating used by Deep Cycle battery manufacturers as a way to compare batteries, but we cannot just measure how many Amp Hours are left in a battery. **Guidelines may be exceeded or not reached. This fridge can operate over a period of 133 hours, or 5.5 days if the guidelines** are meet. divided by.12 volt es 5 amps of electricity (when running)īut.the fridge motor does not need to run all the time, in fact this model indicates it only needs to run about 15% of the time. Therefore a 100ah (amp hour) battery will last for 1000 hours.Ī slightly different example is a 60 watt fridge running on a 12 volt power source uses 60 /12 = 5 amps, but only while the motor runs.Ħ0 watt fridge. A very small user of power is a 1.2 watt LED light running on a 12 volt power source will useġ.2W / 12V = 0.1 amps. If a device specification does not include amps but does include watts, the formula you need is:īelow: An example where we need to calculate the amps. If you use it for 5 mins a day, it could last 120 days. A 100 ah battery should give you (100/10=10) 10 hours of usage. We will get to those after you understand a few more things, but for now we want to know how many amps stuff uses.īelow: A simple example, but heavy user of power is a 12 volt hair dryer rated at 10 amps. It would be nice if this equation held true all the way up to 100 amps for 1 hour, but there are some limits to the maximum rate of current draw, and how much of that 100amps you can actually use without destroying your battery. If you are looking for a battery for a new setup or needing to replace an existing Deep Cycle battery take a look at our related article.Ī 100ah battery should provide 1 amp for 100 hours, 2 amps for 50 hours, 3 amps for 33 hours etc. In the past we recommended the AGM style (Absorbed Glass Mat) as the best for any Recreational Vehicle, but in more recent times as Lithium Batteries have become more affordable we believe the benefit is worth the initial setup costs. It is widely accepted at this stage that Deep Cycle batteries are the best option for RV use. We want to deal in Amps, as that is how the Deep Cycle batteries are rated. If you know one you can calculate the other, provided you know the voltage. The amount of electricity used to run a device or appliance may be defined as watts or as amps.

It will allow you to estimate the size and number of batteries that will suit your camping.Īs always there is a little explanation required to ensure that we are at the same starting point. If you have a Camper trailer, Caravan or other RV and you like to spend time away from a 240 volt power source, this article will give you some answers that the sales people avoid. 186 Products How long will my RV battery last? ![]() ![]() Once selected you can click on a folder and it works almost like working with Windows explorer. You can browse through your history as "snapshots" through time. You can access a restore through the File History function as seen in the former paragraph or by selecting it from the Windows 8 tile panel search function (Restore your files with File History). Browsing through your Windows File HistoryĪs most software of Microsoft also the File History browse function is very user friendly. It will then remove the oldest copy from the File History. It will keep on saving historical copies until you run out of space. The offline cache size depends on the space of your external drive, but up to a maximum of 20% of the disk space. What it does, it saves copies every certain time interval (between 10 minutes and once a day). Let's have a look at the advanced settings.įile History is not a synchronisation program, so it doesn't make a copy at the time you press the "save" button somewhere. But if you really want to be able to restore a genuine copy of a certain period of time don't leave anything out. ![]() After selecting the drive you can exclude folders from your backup. The best options is an external USB or a second hard drive in your laptop/PC. It is not possible to chose the same drive where your Windows is installed. Then chose from the menu "Select drive" where you can tell the software where you would like to save the File History data. The option "File History" will then pop-up.įirst of all make sure that you have the File History on. You can access File History simply by typing "History" in your Windows 8 tiles search. The same menu is also available if you right-click on an external (usb) drive. ![]() In the sample above I am adding a chosen folder to the "SourceVault" library. Instead chose in the explorer the directory you want to add and right-click on the map icon of that folder. This will only lead to frustrations that when you add a single directory/folder, it will leave the map name out and link all the files to the root of your library. Adding directories and complete drivesĭon't double-click on the library you just created to add a folder. When you then give this library some name, most of the work is done. But when you right-click with your mouse in the open space you can add a "New" "Library". By default there are already libraries like "Music", "My Documents" and "Pictures". The easiest way to get to your libraries is by using the Window-E key (explorer) and type in the locator on top "Libraries". You can have as much libraries as you like and at the moment a drive or folder is in a Windows Library it will automatically be part of the File History set to be controlled by the software. A library is not much more than a logical link to a folder or drive. For this the Windows Libraries come in handy. The File History function doesn't have a nice drive/folder selection menu and therefore it might be confusing to find how you can add other data to the standard set of File History settings. How to backup other folders or drives with Windows File History? By default it will copy Libraries, Desktop, Contacts, Favourites and Onedrive (if available). What can you put in Windows File History?Īll your local drives, directories and files can be put in the File History settings. The only gap that you have then, is the period between disconnecting and reconnecting. And at the time I have used my laptop on a remote location, the next time the File History is updated again automatically. ![]() I am using an external drive that is always connected to my laptop. It can even be a mapped network drive, although there you must be aware that speed limitations can occur. To use File History you need a second hard disk, which can also be USB external disk. What is required for Windows File History? Windows has a nice browsing function which lets you browse through your File History data. The nice thing about File History is that if you have saved a file a few times over a couple of days, you can actually restore the version of your choice in time. What is Windows File History?įile History makes a backup of modified directories and files and keeps an history of it as long as you have configured in the settings with a maximum of 20% of your available disk space. It replaced more or less the backup function that was part of the older Windows version. Windows File History is a very underestimated feature of the Windows 7 & 8 operating system. ![]() ![]() ![]() NPC Location: Ardashir, Alpha Quadrant, Azys Lla – x:7, y:11 Once you have collected one crystal of each element, return to Ardashir (x7,y11).

In fact, there were four musical "prologues" in the film - although the first one, a cat-themed song-and-dance, was very brief ("Sittin' on a Backyard Fence") and part of a rehearsal. The thin plot's an excuse to show off the elaborate and extravagant choreographed Berkeley production numbers. The eventual premise was that Kent was compelled - in only three days - to create three complete, fantastic, live, spectacular and show-stopping miniature musicals (known as "prologues") for movie theatres as an added pre-show featured attraction for their patrons during the early days of talkies. ![]() Its familiar plot was a typical-for-the-time backstage tale about putting on a lavish show - in this case, touring stage productions for major motion-picture houses. ![]()
![]() The novel was only published ten years after Grossman’s death. Grossman’s passionate letter to Nikita Khrushchev “requesting freedom for my book,” went unanswered. ![]() The KGB confiscated Grossman’s manuscript his voluminous notes, even his used typewriter ribbon. “Life and Fate” was deemed “unpublishable for the next 250 years,” by the Soviet publishing industry. “Life and Fate,” often likened to Tolstoy’s “War and Peace,” dares to tell unsanctioned and unvarnished truths about the camps, the war, and similarities Grossman finds between Hitlerism and Stalinism. “Stalingrad,” published to critical acclaim, has all the hallmarks of a prudent Soviet writer who is conscious of the need to conform to state-mandated guidelines. Grossman’s wartime experiences provided the setting, plot lines, and characters for his two epic war novels, “For a Just Cause,” (recently released in a new English translation by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler as “Stalingrad”) and “Life and Fate.” Though the same cast of characters inhabits both, the two novels differ in their tone and mood. But, like that other titan of Russian literature, Lev Tolstoy, with whom Grossman felt a lifelong affinity, Grossman was never entirely free of government censure, even after the death of Stalin. Though Grossman was close to many of the victims of Stalin’s Terror, he somehow managed to escape imprisonment. The guilt he felt about his mother’s death haunted Grossman until his end, and her ghost finds its way into his magisterial war epic, “Life and Fate.”Ī passion for writing came early and led to initial success for Grossman during the relatively liberal creative churn of the 1920s. Grossman’s ability to create evocative detail while also illustrating the heartbreaking struggle of the camp’s ghostly prisoners to cling to their humanity in that most inhumane of settings made for mesmerizing reading. The article was later distributed at the Nuremberg trials, where it was persuasive evidence of the extent of Nazi Germany’s crimes against humanity.įor Grossman, the fate of Europe’s Jews was personal. He was born into a family of assimilated Jews in 1905 in Berdichev, in present-day Ukraine, which the Nazis occupied in 1941, carrying out a mass execution of Jews including Grossman’s mother. One of the first correspondents to discover and document the horrors of the Nazi concentration camp, Grossman’s article “The Hell of Treblinka” was published in 1944 and translated into several languages. It is thus that Grossman created memorable character sketches and an immediacy and intimacy of his settings.īut it was at Treblinka that Grossman garnered a wider audience. ![]() ![]() Grossman’s success as a journalist was also rooted in his bold rejection of the accepted Soviet style of lauding the collective struggle and broad sweep of history, choosing instead to place the individual and his struggle at the center of each narrative. His dispatches were read by an enthralled nation for their clarity and ability to place the reader at the heart of the action. Grossman then documented the Soviet Army’s march to hard-won victory in Berlin. Grossman was embedded with the Soviet Army for much of World War II as a war correspondent for the Red Banner newspaper. He witnessed first-hand the bloody battles for Moscow and Kursk and the house-by-house struggle for Stalingrad, which ultimately turned the tide of the war in the Eastern Front to the Allies’ advantage. Grossman was an unflinching eyewitness to many of the century’s darker hours, and he poured these experiences into fiction and non-fiction. Vasily Grossman’s life spanned the first seven decades of the century, and his own arc mirrored that of the century’s dark march. Indeed, it is almost impossible to grasp the macabre tally of two devastating world wars, famine – both natural and manufactured - the disturbing rise of nationalism and fascism, the specter of atomic and nuclear weapons, and the forced incarceration and extermination of millions of innocents in the GULAG and Nazi concentration camps. The world is just beginning to come to terms with the scale of the previous century’s cruelty and carnage. ![]() ![]() Find, collect and trade magic, rare and unique items with arcane properties, then customize your character build around the deadliest combinations you possess.Ĭompete in Leagues and Race Events that run as separate game worlds with their own ladders and economies to win valuable prizes.
