What is judged as noise and what is not is highly subjective, and the literature contains numerous treatises exploring the underlying individual differences in this regard (e.g.,) Job, 1999 conceptualized noise sensitivity as internal states (be they physiological or psychological) that typically amplify arousal to noise. Noise is unwanted sound, that is, sound judged as undesirable, irritating, distracting, and discordant with one's expectations, or interfering with wanted sounds. The findings caution against pooling data across genders, not controlling for age, and using personality dimensions in isolation. However, additional analyses indicated that the influence of gender and age must be considered when examining the relationship between personality and noise sensitivity. Furthermore, the Big Five personality dimensions (neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) had an independent effect on noise sensitivity, which were linear. Overall, the Big Five accounted for 33% of the variance in noise sensitivity, with the Introversion-Extroversion dimension explaining the most variability. The current study investigated the relationship between the Big Five personality dimensions and noise sensitivity using the 240-item NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) and 35-item The Noise-Sensitivity-Questionnaire (NoiSeQ) scales, respectively. Noise sensitivity refers to physiological and psychological internal states of an individual that increase the degree of reactivity to noise in general. Sensitivity to unwanted sounds is common in general and clinical populations.

During the costume creation process, Albert Wolsky had set his sights on a sharkskin piece dating from the 1950s. For Authenticity's sake, the pants were already vintage during the shoot in 1978. The high-waisted spandex pants were so tight she could barely move. On the contrary, the actress, who was eagerly awaiting the famous "Bad Sandy" look, hadn't expected to be as oppressed in her pants as in a corset. But while John Travolta had a few tips for dancing comfortably in all of his costumes, Olivia Newton-John didn't. In the extremely colorful world of the carnival in which the couple meets, we only have eyes for the two dark figures who intertwine and take turns seducing each other. To highlight the evolution of the character, the costume designer Albert Wolsky wanted to create a striking chromatic contrast: while Sandy is dressed in pastel throughout the film, adopting the style of her boyfriend, she stands out from the rest of the crowd. To the frenzied rhythm of You’re The One That I Want, Olivia Newton-John twirls, sways and electrifies a John Travolta literally at her feet with a glance. An authentic outfitĪ leather jacket, a top with bare shoulders, black spandex pants… an outfit that seems simple but which lifts the spirits because it transforms the shy Sandy into a femme fatale. XXL curls, crimson lipstick and heeled mules… Vogue reveals the secrets of a look that has become legendary. It's going from a tidy girl in a mini skirt and pastel cardigan to a goddess in skinny pants that Sandy makes the rebel lose control. The 1950s outfits, the hair wax, the pink jacket of the Pink Ladies and above all, the legendary final scene where Sandy - played by Olivia Newton-John - turns into a femme fatale to win the heart of Danny Zuko. Proof that the Grease phenomenon is not going to die out, 40 years after the release of the most popular musical of all time, the sounds of Summer Nights and Greased Lightning continue to rock the world.
Thanks to its lightly sweet lemon flavor and impressive dissolvability, the Vital Proteins Lemon Collagen Peptides is our best overall pick. It’s Worth Noting: Although tasty, the lemon flavor isn’t ideal for every drink, as it might clash with beverages like coffee or protein shakes. Why We Liked It: The powder dissolved quickly and had a great lemon flavor in both hot and cold drinks. Here are the best collagen powder on the market, plus other options based on different features and needs. To help you determine the best collagen powder for your supplement routine, we performed an in-depth test of 20 collagen powders vetted by a registered dietitian. Many powders are unflavored, but some do have flavor, which can affect the best uses for the product. The formulas can also vary greatly, as some may include other ingredients like biotin and vitamin C. Collagen powders can come from different sources, most commonly beef (bovine) and fish (marine). And while it's possible to slow down collagen degradation via habits like avoiding cigarette smoking and wearing sunscreen, you might also consider taking a collagen powder to bump up your levels.īut not all collagen powders are created equal. Eventually, this deterioration can lead to changes such as wrinkles, joint pain, stiffer tendons and ligaments, and reduced blood flow, according to Pasquariello. It’s responsible for providing elasticity and structure to the skin, but as we get older, collagen naturally breaks down. “Collagen is the dominant protein found in the skin and connective tissue, and makes up about 30 percent of the protein found in your body,” explains registered dietitian Maddie Pasquariello, M.S., R.D.N. This is especially true if you’re on a mission to improve the health of your skin, hair, nails, joints, or bones (or all of the above). If supplements are part of your wellness routine, you’ve likely considered your fair share of collagen powders. collecting raw material and bringing it to a processing center where 3 experts can use one building to efficiently make it valuable. Col size handicaps and resource diversity rewards actual specialization, e.g. Civ cities tend to grow up to resemble each other, like nethack characters, with maybe some production or trade bias. Plus, city radius is one square not two, so locales will be less averaged and more varied due to smaller sample size.Īfter playing one freecol game for a while I read some strategy guides was interesting to realize how the logic of the game had affected me even with no conscious realization. Col turns shields into ore and lumber, with tools and guns, while trade is 5 raw materials and 4 processed ones. Freeciv maps look varied but really the food/shield/trade abstraction makes a lot of it meaningless no real difference between swamp or jungle, or spice and gems, for example. Was interesting how Col is more finely grained in many ways. In Freeciv I apply mindist=3 partly just to keep the AIs from creating a checkerboard of little cities. Conquering the world gets old even with that, due to size. But if I have to fight "Stealth fighters vs. Maybe in Spacewar Ho!, where you could at least stack up big piles of ships rather than having to move units manually. I've never really enjoyed attrition warfare. Islands also means most of my cities are coastal, so can make use of harbors for 2/0/3 ocean food and trade to fuel growth. On hard mode I tend to fall behind on initial tech - probably due to their cheating and having 100% science rate - but islands means enough isolation to catch up, and then republican rapture + harbor + Michaeloangelo's Cathedral = sudden growth spurt. Not helped by freecol being in Java and kind of slow, plus the management means multi-minute turns, while Freeciv can go to "hit enter" mode for a while.įreeciv I've gotten really good at the islands/republic combo. I hit the micromanagement fatigue limit first. I won Colonization back in the day I haven't declared independence yet in Freecol. Given some high prices, and being tax-free, it's often more lucrative than trading with Europe, I think. (Dutch second.) I really suspect trade is worth more than looting them could be worth, though. The former probably comes from easy mode - lots of unclaimed land, and low alarm levels, plus playing French my first game. I'd feel guiliter now, but mostly I was finding little need to fight them and massively lucrative trade with them. I remember looting Indian settlements back then. I'd played Civ and maybe Civ II and Colonization years ago in college. (Getting harder and harder to educate people, unlimited trade wagons, being able to refuse Founding Father development.) Freecol apes the classic, though with some putative improvements of its own. The 2009 Civ IV: Colonization thread struck me with sounding like a fairly different game in various ways. Metro apps are all bundled under System Sounds in the Volume Mixer, so it's an all-or-nothing proposition unfortunately.Įdit: Perhaps you can try keeping the main volume high, the System Sounds volume low/muted (which will affect all Metro apps including games), and open YouTube in Desktop IE or other browser.I see a few old games for Civilization and Colonization, but not a lot, and I've been playing too much of these free clones. "As I mentioned here, there's no way to control the volume of individual Metro/Modern UI apps (not unless the app has its own volume control, which is unlikely). when the user above you also confirms it can be done) because apparently it's not possible on Win 8, as one user states here: If you don't have either of the two you should say so before saying that it's not possible (esp. For any of these it works and a quick google search should tell you it's possible, for example is the first result of my search. This is 2014! It is possible if you have Windows Vista or 7 which most users here have. One solution would be to rout what I want to hear (say youtube) through my audio interface via sound flower and just turn off the other outputs. a quick google search told me that it's not possible either. Rustinpeace91: Really? Are you sure? I'm in sound settings right now and I can only control my inputs and outputs, not individual apps. In this example, my USB mic is plugged in Hardware Input 1. The virtual/software inputs are the programs running in the PC and emit sound. The outputs can be either hardware (here A1 is my internal sound card, A2 could be an external sound card), or virtual/software (B1 and B2).įor REAPER, choose WASAPI shared mode and the inputs/outputs as shown below: (above "voix redirigée vers A1 et B1" = "input redirected to A1 and B1" Here it could be REAPER or a Youtube video on the VOICEMEETER VAIO track. In this configuration, B1 is routed to REAPER after being mixed via VoiceMeeter. Note that I could have chosen Voicemeeter Aux for the Input Device. The B2 output of VM would then go to REAPER. In the same fashion, had I chosen Voicemeeter Aux Input as the Output Device, the REAPER output would go to the virtual input IN Aux of VoiceMeeter. The reason why you should choose the driver WASAPI is WASAPI shared mode isn't exclusive, contrarily to ASIO or WASAPI exclusive (polled) mode. Therefore, it's the best mode when one uses several programs that need concurrent access to the audio, like the output of a DAW or the web browser on Youtube in the Youtube / VoiceMeeter / REAPER chain. If only one program needs access to audio, one can choose ASIO or WASAPI exclusive mode. The drawback of Shared mode with respect to exclusive mode is higher latency and limitation to 16 bits/44KHz. Note that Windows 10 has a redesigned WASAPI core that has lower latency than Windows 8.Įdit (vburel): Remark: REAPER can also be connected to Voicemeeter Virtual ASIO driver (supporting up to 4 client applications). While Voicemeeter output A1 is expected to be connected to your ASIO device (this is the optimal configuration able to work with 256 or even 128 sample buffering).įinally, the tape recorder can record on hard disk any of the 5 outputs, and even the 5 outputs at the same time. Note that a right click on EQ opens a parametric equalizer on each output, and that the outputs include a limiter. PS: don't forget to choose VoiceMeeter as default hardware in the Windows mixer, else it's shorted by Windows. On my setup, VM Banana is launched at startup. Voice meeter eq driver#Īlso the VoiceMeeter settings allow to choose the size of the driver buffers, which has a direct effect upon the latency displayed in REAPER.This setup already works perfectly, with no sync issues at all despite what some people said. I would now like to use Equalizer APO instead of foobar for the equalizer part. We'll keep you out of long lines so you can maximize the magical time in the parks!

We were correct about Typhoon Lagoon reopening in March, but surprised to see Disney closing Blizzard Beach when Typhoon Lagoon reopened.Īll Your Other Disney World Planning Questions Answeredĭon't be overwhelmed by Disney World planning! Take a second to check out our most important content and you'll not only be an expert, but you'll save big $$$ along the way. Most recently, we assumed both parks would be open through summer. Going forward, the water parks will alternate being open in six-month stretches, with Typhoon Lagoon open March through September and Blizzard Beach open September through March.Īgain, that’s just a guess. This means a closure of Typhoon Lagoon and reopening of Typhoon Lagoon mid-September would make sense. Since Disney opted to close Blizzard Beach for summer 2023, we’re assuming they’ll only have one water park open at a time in the near future.īlizzard Beach got a holiday treatment in 2022 and we expect that to return in 2023. The water park schedule has been tough to predict the last few years, but here’s our best guess of how it will shape up in the future: Typhoon Lagoon reopened March 19, 2023, with Blizzard Beach closing that same day for refurbishment. Weather permitting, every day of the year has at least one park open. Operational Datesīoth of Disney World’s water parks operate on part-time schedules. Now onto the major differences (as promised) between the two parks. Did Daryl love Beth? The odds say yes.Īndrea and Daryl were among the first of the group when the apocalypse hit. Seeing Daryl walk out of the hospital with a dead Beth cradled in his arms remains one of the saddest and most tragic moments of the entire show. However, when Daryl showed up to save the two, Beth took the chance to stab her captor, Dawn, and the former cop instinctively shot Beth in the head. Beth ended up with Carol in a hospital where the survivors there forced survivors into work roles to allow them the right to remain protected there. Whatever the case, Beth's life was cut short before anything could happen between them, beyond their strong emotional bond. Some of the most disturbing moments came when Daryl and Beth went off alone and had to fight to protect each other. Of course, this may also have been interpreted as a brother/sister type relationship, rather than a romantic one. What was going on with Beth and Daryl? Left to escape on their own, they shared intimate conversations about their lives, drank together, and seemed like a sweet couple out on the first date. They could have been a dream team together on the show. Both were trapped by Negan and held hostage, and both made serious sacrifices for the group in order to save them. Her relationship with Abraham was strong, but Daryl could have been a partner had they struck up a bond first. Seeing him fall in love with Sasha could have shown that he had grown and changed into a better man who didn't share the views he grew up around. Daryl came from a home life that was filled with hatred, as his brother Merle was completely racist, and that soaked off onto Daryl for a long time. There was also a key story reason why Sasha and Daryl could have been an interesting pairing. However, Sasha could have been a good fit with Daryl, as both had the same fighting spirit. However, her relationship with Abraham made more sense because the two of them were tough as nails and seemed to fit together better. The worst of the romances was with Bob, as Sasha was a battle tested warrior and Bob was more of a meek individual who put people around him in danger. And hopefully things will pick up even further by March 22, when Have a Nice Death arrives for the PC and Switch, ready for its final performance review.Sasha did strike up two romances on the show, first with Bob and then with Abraham. Indeed, it would appear like business is picking up more than ever at Death Inc. So what comes included this time around? Well, there’s six new difficulty modes, including a Beginner mode, two new bosses, including a secret mini-boss, new weapons and spells, brand new rooms, new progression systems, new questlines including a limited-time “Secret Santa” event running until January 15 (complete with holiday decorations), an assortment of quality-of-life improvements and more. Dubbed the Executive Decisions update, this new major update adds a ton of new content to the game, as seen in the trailer below. But while that leaves only four months to go until the game gets a full release, the developers aren’t done adding Early Access updates just yet…well, at least until this latest one dropped, which is confirmed to be the game’s final Early Access update. Last month during Nintendo’s Indie World presentation, Magic Design Studios’ action-platformer Have a Nice Death finally received a release date in April of next year.
A magazine needs a pretty good tap to be seated properly in the gun and the way a magazine would need to be held on the body makes it impossible to just slide it in the gun without taking it out of the carrier. One problem with the torso mag holders that he just slaps the gun into it wouldn't work very well. Have them customized with beveled mag wells, trigger jobs, custom grips and finish, bored chambers, hi-visibility sights, ambidextrous safeties,things like that. 45s Colt,Kimber, Custom Springfields,etc. If he's the type of hitman for quick,clean jobs give him 2. Just my 2 cents, but depending on what you're going for give the character a little flair with his weaponry. I just don't think a design I make from scratch would work too well, so I'll look into this guy's creation, and if you have the web site handy that you could link me to that'd be great. Also my knowledge on firearms is very limited at the moment.Īs for the fully auto Colt you mentioned it's ideas like that on customization that is one of the things I'm looking for. I might decide to do that later on in the story, but for the most part I think a solid firearm that already exists and that is custom modified would be best for right now. I agree, making a firearm that I created would make the story more my own and unique. So yea, make it up and make it interesting. 45 auto to accept a belt feed, and some people actually believed it! (and he's not even in the movie business). There's even a web site where a guy says he can modify a. How about a full auto Colt Officer's model being belt fed from an ammo box on the hip. If it ever makes it to the movies, The Digital FX department can make anything come alive on screen. Use some poetic license.ĭream up something. But with the GLOCK 18, I saw this video where it looked a bit more complicated to reload than just that.Īny other advice anyone's willing to give as in ways to customize/enhance the said firearms with suppressors/extended clips and make them more accurate, unique, and tactical for use I'm open to any and all suggestions. So I decided that he'd secure new magazines to his torso holster-rig in a manner that will allow him to slap the empty guns down onto the new magazines. 45 has.Īnother thing I'm considering in deciding the handgun type is that he's a quick re-loader, and with two guns it's a bit difficult to reload. Although after doing some more research I considered a larger caliber than. I originally had him using a pair of GLOCK 18's since other than the Beretta 93R I don't know of any other modern handguns with burst-fire potential. So I'm curious what type of notable firearms there are and in what caliber any of you would suggest me having him use? Keep in mind he's going to dual-wield these firearms like you'd see in a shooter game and the style of writing is going to be Hong Kong action movie-esque where the main character is capable of some pretty insane moves and whatnot. I'm writing this story about a Hitman for a criminal syndicate and needed some advice on a handgun type I should have the protagonist use. Thank you and I Hope you liked it.Hello! New member here that needs some advice. I think I went overboard but it was fun for me to come up with my theory. If the Rattlesnake does more damage I will guess it to be Smith & Wesson. In fact to save money at the range some people use. 38 Specials and hardly see a difference in the size of the guns. 357 Magnum would fit the bill you can put one next to some. 45 ACP because its been around longer and becauss it is the cal I choose for my EDC sidearm. They are available in all semi-automatic calibers I've mentioned. Next up Nox and "Semi-auto" I am going to go with 9mm because I have the impression they are not supposed to be big bore pistols. 38 special or 9mm which are very similar in size and stopping power. 32 based on era it may have come from and has less stopping power than a. That being said if I were to give my best guess. 357 Mag sounds right for the venom but could be. 22 just doesn't seem right to me for the revolver my guess ie. 45 would fit for stoping power however going by size and look moon appears to look modeled on the desert eagle which is famous for its semi-automatic version of the. I know the moon shadow & heavy have the same stats so they should be the same as well.40 or. If nox & semi are the same stats with diffrent looks wouldn't the be the ssme cal? (I migh be mistaken on the stats) I am wondering what your source material is?įrom my knoledge of fire arms and amunition. I have been unable to find out what calibre Rattlesnake its.
