![]() ![]() These lanterns were subsequently incorporated into festivals like the Chinese Mid-Autumn and Lantern Festivals. However, later on, non-military applications were employed as they became popular with children at festivals. In ancient China, sky lanterns were strategically used in wars, in a similar way as kites were used in ancient Chinese warfare, such as military communication (transmitting secret messages), signaling, surveillance or spying, lighting the sky when laying siege on the city at night etc. Sky lanterns could be a possible explanation for some UFO sightings through the years. In the history of military ballooning, the lanterns were also used for military signals, In the history of ballooning, these became the first hot air balloons used in the West, in Europe, during the Mongol Invasion of Poland. This is the first time ballooning was known in the western world. The Mongolian army studied Kongming lanterns from China and used them in the Battle of Legnica during the Mongol invasion of Poland. Another suggested origin is that the name actually comes from the lantern's resemblance to the hat Kongming is traditionally shown to be wearing. For this reason, they are still known in China as Kongming lanterns ( 孔明燈, 孔 明 灯, kǒngmíng dēng). He is said to have used a message written on a sky lantern to summon help on an occasion when he was surrounded by enemy troops. Their invention is, however, traditionally attributed to the sage and military strategist Zhuge Liang (181–234 AD), whose reverent term of address was Kongming. According to the sinologist and historian of science Joseph Needham, the Chinese experimented with small hot air balloons for signaling from as early as the 3rd century BC. The "candle" was usually a packet of paraffin or rosin tightly wrapped in cloth and bound with wire.Ĭhina is considered to have developed the first simple hot-air balloons. Only the smaller models had a full frame made of bamboo or thin wire the slight overpressure of the hot air was sufficient to keep the larger ones inflated, and the frame was reduced to a wire loop around the bottom opening. A design that was fairly common was two pyramids joined by the base (a bipyramid, such as the octahedron) sometimes with a cube or prism inserted in the middle. In Brazil and Mexico sky lanterns were traditionally made of several patches of thin translucent paper (locally called "silk paper"), in various bright colors, glued together to make a multicolored polyhedral shell. The source of hot air may be a small candle or fuel cell composed of a waxy flammable material. In China, Taiwan and Thailand, sky lanterns are traditionally made from oiled rice paper on a bamboo frame. The sky lantern is only airborne for as long as the flame stays alight, after which the lantern sinks back to the ground. When lit, the flame heats the air inside the lantern, thus lowering its density and causing the lantern to rise into the air. The opening is usually about 10 to 30 cm wide (even for the largest shells), and is surrounded by a stiff collar that serves to suspend the flame source and to keep it away from the walls. The general design is a thin paper shell, which may be from about 30 cm to a couple of metres across, with an opening at the bottom. Many areas of Asia do not permit sky lanterns because of widespread fire hazards as well as danger to livestock.Ī very large sky lantern in Bandarban, Bangladesh Sky lanterns have been made illegal in several countries such as Vietnam which has banned the production, sale, and release of sky lanterns throughout the country since 2009. Several fires have been attributed to sky lanterns, with at least one 21st-century death caused. The name sky lantern is a translation of the Chinese name but they have also been referred to as sky candles or fire balloons. Sky lanterns have been made for centuries in cultures around the world, to be launched for play or as part of long-established festivities. Yi Peng (Loi Krathong) festival in Tudongkasatan Lanna (Lanna Meditation Retreat Centre), Mae Jo Chiang Mai, ThailandĪ sky lantern ( traditional Chinese: 天燈 simplified Chinese: 天灯 pinyin: tiāndēng), also known as Kǒngmíng lantern ( traditional Chinese: 孔明燈 simplified Chinese: 孔明灯), or Chinese lantern, is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where a small fire is suspended. ![]()

Neat, in a shot, or to give your favorite cocktail a little downtown flavor, Barking Irons Applejack sets the standard for smooth, drinkable applejack. A second batch of Barking Irons Applejack will be made available in Spring 2016. The initial batch of Barking Irons Applejack is a sophisticated pairing of white pepper and cocoa, with an upfront spice reminiscent of a well-balanced rye whiskey that finishes clean like a crisp apple cider. With Phear and McGrath’s background running a spirits and rock n’ roll-focused creative agency and a shared interest in applejack’s long history (early New Yorkers freeze-distilled it at home, a process known as jacking), the partners began the process of bringing Barking Irons Applejack to market for its release this year. It was there, on the Bowery, while enjoying their fair share of booze-soaked celebrations, where the idea for a spirits line was born. Meeting Phear and McGrath at an after-party some years later, the four hit it off and went on to produce an acoustic music series together in the brand’s Bowery loft space in the late 2000s. Initially inspired by Five Points-era New York and the rough and tumble spirit of Old Bowery culture that emerged from it, the Casarellas formed the Barking Irons brand in 2003. is co-owned by creative partners Elliott Phear and Casey McGrath, and is a partnership with Barking Irons clothing founders, brothers Michael and Daniel Casarella.

Portal 2 was released for Windows, Mac OS X, the Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3 on Apin North America and on Apin Europe and Australia. Meet an expanded cast of characters as you think your way through dangerous, never-before-seen areas of the laboratories and a wider variety of portal puzzles. By adding more levels, the company can extend the length of the campaign, but it should not charge for them, otherwise the company will once again be accused of charging too much. It appears that Valve can fix the two biggest issues gamers have with Portal 2 by releasing some great DLC. The Final Hours of Portal 2 has been updated with a chapter on the making of the 'Peer Review' DLC and the first details on the future of Portal 2. Furthermore, the single player portion of the game takes between five and eight hours, depending on quickly you solve the puzzles, while the multiplayer lasts about three to six hours. Portal 2 lets you purchase $80 worth of in-game cosmetics such as gestures, hats, and skins for co-op characters that don't affect actual gameplay - players were disappointed that Valve wasted development effort on such a lame money-grabbing scheme as a virtual store. ![]() Considering the game's full retail price, many were annoyed with two aspects of the game in particular: the virtual store and the length of the campaign. Upon release, Portal 2 faced quite a bit of backlash from gamers. We'll support that with more videos or more comics. We'll be putting more details out about that in a week or so. ![]() That's because Valve plans on releasing downloadable content (DLC) for Portal 2 this summer, according to a Fast Company interview with Doug Lombardi, Valve's vice president of marketing: There is a comic online, but beyond that, is there more Portal coming?ĭoug: We will be announcing some DLC for it, so folks can keep a look out for more content coming this summer. While it's as of yet unknown if you can berate your future victims with taunts and reminders of their parents (or lack thereof), this should go a long way towards making Portal 2 multiplayer a more fun and infinitely repayable experience.Many gamers may have already beaten Portal 2, but they shouldn't just give up and wait for Portal 3. These maps can then be shared over the Steam Workshop with other players. Read on for more details.Īccording to a piece posted on the official Portal website, the Perpetual Testing Initiative which will be coming out for free on May 8th Portal 2 will have a broad suite of new features that allow players to create maps from within the game itself. The first set of free Portal 2 DLC, titled Peer Review, launches on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 4th October, developer Valve has announced. After all they are working on Half Life 2: Episode 3, right? However with the Steam Workshop that's already made The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mods more accessable, Valve can outsource the work to creative players. It's impossible to think Valve could churn out new maps at the pace needed to please everyone in the community. Multiplayer can be frustrating when you know what to do, and sit there watching other players flail around. Software description provided by the publisher. One of the biggest things about Portal 2, aside from the insane robots and hilarious story is the fact that once you've beaten a puzzle, it kind of sticks with you. Plus Portal 2 also includes a co-operative game mode with local, split-screen and online multiplayer so you and a friend can think with portals. ![]() ![]() ![]() Record in HD quality and share without any issue.

To display arbitrary content, such as a notification or confirmation request, use a dialog or a flyout. Menus and context menus are for organizing commands and saving space by hiding those commands until the user needs them. However there are differences between them, such as what you should use to create them and how they are accessed by a user. They both display an organized list of commands or options and save space by hiding until the user needs them. If you’re running CentOS, just enable the EPEL repository and you should be able to easily download QuiteRSS to your computer.Menus and context menus are similar in how they look and what they can contain. If you’re running Fedora, it’s on the EPEL repository making it an easy download and install. If you’re a fan of RSS readers, I suggest you give the solid QuiteRSS a try. In my example, I copied the backup from a Linux Mint 17 system to a CentOS 7 system and it worked fine. Open QuiteRSS and you should see that the backup has been restored along with your customizations like “star” feeds etc. $ cp feeds.db /home/thomaspc/.local/share/data/QuiteRss/QuiteRss/feeds.dbĬp: overwrite ‘/home/thomaspc/.local/share/data/QuiteRss/QuiteRss/feeds.db’? yĪgain, hit y key and then the return key when it asks you for permission to overwrite the feeds.db file.

Depending on the date of your backup, they’ll look like this – QuiteRss.ini_07-57-56.bak and feeds.db_07-57-56.bak. When you make a backup, the program creates two files. Offering a way to create the backup from within the program’s menu but not to provide a way to restore the backup from inside the program menu seems odd.īut it didn’t take long for me to find a solution to restoring the backup. Unfortunately, there’s no option to recover from a backup from inside the QuiteRSS program. I first copied the backup from my Linux Mint 17.2 to an USB drive and then copied the files to the desktop of my CentOS system. Recently I wanted a copy of my carefully picked QuiteRSS feeds on a CentOS 7 system. Like any good IT user, every month or so I make a backup of QuiteRSS (Via File –> Create Backup on the menu bar) from inside the program just in case I need it later. The free reader works on Windows and Mac OS X too but I have yet to try them on those platforms. The reader works fine on Linux and I can’t recollect it ever crashing on me. I’ve installed it on Linux Mint and CentOS. QuiteRSS is an excellent open source cross-platform RSS news feed reader that I have been using for about a year now with mucho satisfaction. ![]() ![]() ![]() Requirements and advantages in Exchange and SQL were some of the primary factors for using the 64-bit version of 2003 over the 32-bit version. On the consumer side, 32-bit was the comfortable norm and 64-bit was factored in only when there were obvious gains. Few software vendors factored in 64-bit compatibility in their code until Windows Server 2008. Until Windows Server 2008, development for 64-bit products was not mainstream. The 64-bit server product was bleeding edge when it was introduced. The vast majority of Windows 2003 Server implementations were 32-bit. There is a Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition, but the adoption rate of that version was extremely low. In fact, hardware is actually the primary limiting factor over software. Windows Server 2012 Standard and above have a memory limit of 4TB. In a 64-bit world, the Windows OS version still controls memory limits, but the 64-bit address bar has been raised. Windows Server 2003 Standard had a limit of 4GB of memory, while Datacenter and Enterprise had a 64GB limit. Memory limits in 32-bit Windows Operating Systems (OS) depended on the version in use and the 32-bit address space. The key differences of 64-bit computing over 32-bit computing is more memory. This difference is exhibited the most in physical memory addressing. A 64-bit value exponentially holds a greater amount of data than a 32-bit. As the number of bits in a computational value increase, the amount of data the value can hold increases. Bits (binary digit) refer to the smallest units of computer data (a value of 1 or 0). 32-bit and 64-bit computing refer to a change in the instruction set for processors (CPUs) and how processors handle memory. One of the key points involved in moving off the Windows 2003 platform is going from 32-bit computing to 64-bit. ![]() In this blog I am going to discuss a topic that is a major factor in migration. Over the next few months, we will be presenting blogs with information on migrating from Windows Server 2003. To find out the information from the source and to get ideas on how to move forward, click here. It also means that if you have an issue and call in for Microsoft support, they will no longer open a support case for you. Meaning, after that date, there will be no more security fixes, hot-fixes, patches, or any other type of development for Server 2003 from Microsoft. On July 14, 2015, Windows Server 2003 Microsoft support will end. ![]() |
