Horizon call of the mountain timeline11/29/2023 Under Avad, Blameless Marad shares the new King's vision of peace with all the tribes, as he sees this unification as the only way to ensure the future of the Carja civilization. Engineering the Liberation of Meridian from the Mad King without being caught, especially by Jiran's champion Helis, demonstrates how skillful Marad is in his work. Blameless Marad deduced how detrimental to Carja society these events were and, through subterfuge and deception, worked to ensure Avad's rebellion, augmented by the Oseram Vanguard, was successful. Jiran's paranoia and bloodlust continued to grow, culminating in the Red Raids, which saw the subjugation of the neighboring tribes and their sacrifice in the Sun Ring to appease the Deranged Machines through ten years of war. It isn't known when Blameless Marad began working for Avad's father, Jiran, the Mad King, yet Marad's presence within Jiran's court was tantamount to the King's eventual defeat. RELATED: Horizon Forbidden West Gets Surprise Update That Adds New Game+ and More Working for the Sun-Kings Though Blameless Marad is privy to fountains of knowledge, little is known about him as he cryptically answers any personal questions. He does not merely seek out what seems correct, but considers all possibilities and motives and then examines the nature behind such concepts and information, which allows him to deduce what is most likely accurate. He remarks to Aloy that his methodologies for sourcing and relaying information are formed because all knowledge, intelligence, and conclusions are presented in likelihood rather than certainty. Since his primary profession deals with trading in secrets, whispers, and rumors, Blameless Marad demonstrates a practical mind for digesting and coalescing the numerous amounts of information he obtains. A mastermind at politics and a shrewd spymaster, Marad manages the immense spy network throughout the Sundom, extending his grasp even to the summer palace at Sunfall, which is considered a hostile entity during Horizon's timeline. Most likely born a Carja nobleman, Marad is a senior official within the Sun-King's Court in the Carja's Holy City of Meridian, where he faithfully serves Sun-King Avad, fourteenth Luminance of the Radiant Line. In Horizon Forbidden Westand its predecessor Horizon Zero Dawn, Blameless Marad is a minor yet integral character that factors into some essential quests for Aloy's journey through the Carja Sundom.

Disable smt process lasso11/29/2023 5: Scroll down in the list untill you find 2 exe names called hogwarts legacy. 4: Alt tab back out, and run Process Lasso. To accomplish this, it uses a staggered CPU affinity so that only distinct physical CPU cores are available to target processes. 2: Install it anywhere 3: Run Hogwarts legacy and load into the world. Date: Categories: Process Lasso has the capability of disabling SMT or Hyper-Threading on a per-process basis. Now we have very high core counts and all CPUs have it. 1: Grab Process Lasso from and download the free version. Though back then it was mentioned it was a waste for gaming even with 4 cores so get an i5. I have not heard of such games and ut seems older games are more unoptimized and older games seem to benefit more.Īnd if you have 8 or 10 or 12 or even 16 core CPU, aren't games especially more likely to like real cores better and make sense to turn off? Or is it different now? I mean during P4 days, we had only 1 core so it kind of made sense to improve multi tasking a bit? Then HT was dropped with Core 2 as we had multiple cores. I’ve tried Process Lasso tricks (dynamic thread priority boost disable), disable SMT, increase process priority, etc nothing made a difference. But someone mentioned HT/SMT is even good for gaming with high core count CPUs as many games are unoptimized and there are stalled IO pipelines which benefit from logical threads and latency to switch from one thread to another on same core is faster than to a different physical core. If you have 8 or more cores, is it better to turn off HT.SMT for gaming in general.

Xmedia recode copy not an option11/28/2023 For example Xmedia will not let you copy an VP9 video from YouTube to an MP4 container. The MP4 container has some format restrictions that the Matroska container doesn't have. elementor-kit-3.elementor-widget-accordion. Xmedia Recode will not always let you choose Copy Mode. XMedia Recode is a free and open source video/audio transcoding program for Windows. Same settings as above but I tried changing the scaling mode to bicubic spiline, and it seems that the quality is close to that of handbrake even if it is a bit slower to convert and the final file is bigger than the first two.XMedia Recode Pros and Cons | Review for the Open Source Video Converter – I used the setting you suggested then I changed the reference frames = 2 to reference frames = 4 and I also set this Color primaries : BT.709 If you want to pursue further, you'll have to post some sample of the source and output videos Here are the pictures zoom in at 150% to see the differences I can't see a difference during normal playback speeds.

I can change the aspect ratio of the video when played on my computer, but unfortunately I cant. Is there a 'retain original aspect ratio' tic box that Ive missed. For some reason the resultant video aspect ratio is changed to 1.78:1. You could try setting video/b-frames/B-pyramid = normal, With XMedia Recode you can convert Videos in various formats, but the Clips with effects or cropping. Converting a video from H.265 to H.264, XMedia Recode is not retaining the original aspect ratio of 2.39:1. Use XMedia Recode, select MP4 as the output container, then Copy rather.

Micro pig11/28/2023 You should never be able to see your pigs hip bones or spine. Mini pigs, like humans, need calories and nutrients to maintain their activity levels and overall healthy. Underfeeding a mini pig is just as dangerous as overfeeding. There is more information on weight loss planning for mini pigs here. If your pig is above a 3.5 on the body conditioning chart below, please take the steps to reduce the extra treats, and overall daily food that is offered. It’s very difficult to get weight off a pig, but it is not impossible. The result of the extra weight/fat can take a serious toll on their overall heath, limiting mobility, compromising eyesight and hearing, not to mention the strain it is putting on their heart. Mini pigs are easily the most likely animal to become obese. We know that food can symbolize love and that is especially true for a pig, but we don’t want to love our pigs to death. When determining how much to feed your pig you must consider all the foods and grazing your pig indulges in. If you pig’s shape is below a 2.5 on the body condition chart below then increase the pellets given daily or offer more outdoor grazing and supplemental meals, snacks, and treats. If you pig’s shape is changing and moving to above a 3 on the body conditioning chart, adjust the amount of pellets and supplemental meals down. Add supplemental meals which can include raw, steamed, or cooked vegetables, leafy greens and salads, or any variety from the healthy foods list. Start with a base of recommended 1-2% of body weight pellets (see chart below). Watch your pig’s shape, skin, eyes, and behavior. So how do you know what to feed and how much? Each pig will metabolize their food differently which makes having a one size fits all diet a challenge. The recommended serving size is based on the pig’s body weight, but should be regulated and adjusted to allow for supplemental meals of vegetables, salads, grains, snacks, fruits, and grazing. These feeds are specifically designed to meet the nutritional requirements for minis. Popular manufacturers include Mazuri, Purina Nature’s Match, Manna Pro, and Country Feeds. There are several brands of mini pig pellets, commonly referred to as pot bellied pig pellets. It’s good to research the natural diet article to discover food options for snacks or supplemental meals. Mini pig pellets are the preferred choice for owners who are not comfortable taking the leap into exploring all that is required for a well-rounded natural diet. There is more information on feeding a natural diet here. Some owners choose to feed a raw or all-natural diet without the use of commercial pellets. Their meals can come from a variety of food sources. The goal with mini pigs is to find a healthy balance of a nutritional pelleted diet along with a variety of vegetables that will keep their bodies a healthy shape while satisfying that seemingly never-ending hunger. As with any animal, over feeding or under feeding is incredibly unhealthy and can ultimately shorten lifespan. You will rarely ever see a pig turn up its snout and walk away from food, unless they are ill. Mini pigs seem to live in a constant state of hunger. Healthy nutritional choices are a requirement when caring for a mini pig.

Auditory sensitivity autism11/28/2023 However, historically, proximal senses such as touch, smell and taste were thought to be particularly at risk and to indicate developmental immaturity ( 10, 11). There is limited consensus regarding the pattern of these sensory deficits in ASD. While sensory hyper- and hypo-responsiveness are not unique to ASD, they appear to be more prevalent in this population than in other developmental disabilities ( 4, 8, 9). The distress caused by particular sensory stimuli can cause self-injurious and aggressive behavior in those unable to communicate their duress. Sensory processing concerns have been a key feature of ASD clinical descriptions from the original independent seminal reports by Asperger and Kanner to first person accounts ( 7). Similar to the wide-range of spectrum severity found for communication and social deficits, sensory behavioral differences also range from mild to severe, and these behavioral differences can endure through adulthood ( 2- 6). Over 96% of children with ASD report hyper and hypo-sensitivities in multiple domains. What does appear to be common to individuals across the spectrum are atypical behavioral responses to sensory information. There also exists considerable phenotypic variation involving the pace of language development, the presence of epilepsy, and the range of cognitive ability. in utero valproic acid exposure), and prematurity. fragile X and tuberous sclerosis), environmental exposures (e.g. There are many known etiologies that contribute to an ASD phenotype, including genetic variations (e.g. ASD is clearly not a one size fits all diagnosis. Even within a diagnosis of autism, there can be a wide range of intellectual ability. In this review, ASD is used to include individuals with the full range of symptoms from the most severe form of the condition, autistic disorder or autism, to the milder forms, Asperger syndrome (AS) and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD, NOS). Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are defined clinically by impairment in communication, social interaction, and behavioral flexibility ( 1). |
