![]() ![]() In the late 1960s and 1970s, the Celsius (formerly Centigrade) scale was phased in by governments as part of the standardizing process of metrication.įahrenheit supporters assert its previous popularity was due to Fahrenheit’s user-friendliness. The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in most English-speaking countries until the 1960s. The United Kingdom has almost exclusively used the Celsius scale since the 1970s, with the notable exception that some broadcasters and publications still quote Fahrenheit air temperatures occasionally in weather forecasts, for the benefit of generations born before about 1950, and air-temperature thermometers sold still show both scales for the same reason. Fahrenheit is sometimes used by older generations in English speaking countries, especially for measurement of higher temperatures. All other countries have adopted Celsius as the primary scale in use. In the United States the Fahrenheit system continues to be the accepted standard for non-scientific use. ![]() The boiling point of water is 100 Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The freezing point of water is 0 Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This picture compares Celsius and Fahrenheit scales on a thermometer.Ĭelsius and Fahrenheit thermometers side by side compare the two scales. The Fahrenheit scale coincides with the Celsius scale at -40 ☏, which is the same temperature as -40 ☌. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are exactly 100 degrees apart, thus the unit of the Fahrenheit scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9 of a degree Celsius. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 ☌. ![]() Absolute zero-the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance-is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 ☌. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). However, the unit “degree Celsius” and the Celsius scale are currently, by international agreement, defined by two different points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared water. Until 1954, 0 ☌ on the Celsius scale was defined as the melting point of ice and 100 ☌ was defined as the boiling point of water under a pressure of one standard atmosphere this close equivalence is taught in schools today. “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death. The degree Celsius (symbol: ☌) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). ![]() In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (written “32 ☏”), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and freezing points of water exactly 180 degrees apart.Ĭelsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the German-Dutch physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), who proposed it in 1724. ![]()

Researchers are close to establishing the weakest possible virus infection that assures about half of people exposed to it get asymptomatic or mild COVID-19. The technique could revolutionize fields inside and outside of research, Bertozzi and others say. An article by Khera 1 recently appeared in the Art of Oncology section of Journal of Clinical Oncology.Although we acknowledge the authors efforts in proposing a grading system for financial toxicity, one should embark on such a task on the basis of science, using well-defined and reproducible research methods performed with patients. Its first phase, still ongoing, has focused on finding out how much of the virus is needed to trigger an infection while the second will aim to determine the immune response needed to ward one off, the university said in a statement on Tuesday. The Oxford University trial was launched last April, three months after Britain became the first country to approve what are known as challenge trials for humans involving COVID-19.

This is illustrated in the fate of Oiwa in the story Yotsuya Kaidan, or the servant Okiku in Banchō Sarayashiki. Oftentimes the lower the social rank of the person who died violently or who was treated harshly during life, the more powerful as a yūrei they would return. If the rituals are not completed or the conflict left unresolved, the yūrei will persist in its haunting. The yūrei then exists on Earth until it can be laid to rest, either by performing the missing rituals or resolving the emotional conflict that still ties it to the physical plane. Once a thought enters the mind of a dying person, their yūrei will come back to complete the action last thought of before returning to the cycle of reincarnation. Even innocuous thoughts can cause death to become disturbed. The emotion or thought need not be particularly strong or driven. If the person dies, however, in a sudden or violent manner such as murder or suicide, if the proper rites have not been performed, or if they are influenced by powerful emotions such as a desire for revenge, love, jealousy, hatred or sorrow, the reikon is believed to transform into a yūrei which can then bridge the gap back to the physical world. If this is done correctly, the reikon is believed to be a protector of the living family and to return yearly in August during the Obon Festival to receive thanks. When a person dies, the reikon leaves the body and enters a form of purgatory, where it waits for the proper funeral and post- funeral rites to be performed so that it may join its ancestors. Like their Chinese, Korean, and Western counterparts, they are thought to be spirits barred from a peaceful afterlife.Īccording to traditional Japanese beliefs, all humans have a spirit or soul called a reikon ( 霊魂). ![]() Alternative names include Bōrei ( 亡霊), meaning ruined or departed spirit, Shiryō ( 死霊), meaning dead spirit, or the more encompassing Yōkai ( 妖怪) or Obake ( お化け). The name consists of two kanji, 幽 ( yū), meaning "faint" or "dim" and 霊 ( rei), meaning "soul" or "spirit". Yūrei ( 幽霊) are figures in Japanese folklore analogous to the Western model of ghosts.

Portal Roms, like nicoblog and cdromance, has quite a few games that I can't find in other places (though there's also a lot they don't have).Įdge Emulation seems pretty good, but I haven't used it much, and they're completely missing PlayStation games.ĮmuParadise's file servers aren't actually offline yet the games can still be downloaded by using the greasemonkey script offered here.

Apparently NicoBlog even offers full ROM sets rather than having to download things individually, if you want. NicoBlog and its sister-site CDRomance have incomplete collections, but seem to have a lot of stuff I can't find elsewhere. In fact, I don't think they even have ads, let alone viruses, and they have a collection of manual scans as well! Unfortunately, they only have US releases (and some fan-translated games, but no European or unpatched Japanese releases). Vimm or The Eye are probably the best places for Melee, specifically, but the rest of the list is useful to have for future reference. I'm mostly quoting myself here, but these are the best places I've found for getting roms in general and most of them have GameCube games. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Hyper cubes", formed by matching five gems in a row, can be used to eliminate all gems of the same type on screen. "Power" gems are formed by matching four in a row, which when matched up explode, smashing nearby gems and bringing in a gathering of points. The game also features four different types of gems to keep things spicy. There are also several other "Secret" modes to unlock, but since they are defined as being secret, I shall leave them as a surprise. This in my opinion is by far the best element of the game, since you can sit back at your own leisure and enjoy the pleasures of what this game has to offer. The final mode you are given is "Endless", which is a never ending game with no final score or timer, and no risk of running out of moves. "Puzzle" mode is a real brain teaser, in which the aim is to complete a preset block of gems, with a mounting difficulty of creativity required to eliminate all gems. The other modes include "Action", which is essentially the same as the Classic mode, but with the points you score contributing to a timer which slowly winds down to zero, thus making things a tad more tense. I hate to think of the frustration on reaching the last level just to have to start over. ![]() A simple fix would have been to have a checkpoint system, so you can at least restart the current level instead of having to start from scratch. Several times I reached just beyond the third level just to fail, resulting in a complete loss of motivation to even try again. The announcer kindly told me the fact I had "no more moves", with the consequences being you have to the do the whole process all over again. This I enjoyed until several levels down the line, when I ran out of possible moves to make. The first being "Classic", where the goal is to simply reach a set score on increasing difficulty levels. There are the numerous game modes to try which helps keep things varied and interesting. During this process, a combination of new chains may form either by chance or through careful planning, which will gain you a lovely set of bonus points and a satisfying "excellent" from the announcer. When such a chain is created, the gems vanish causing everything above to fall down, with new gems being dropped to fill the gaps. The purpose being that you line up three or more of the same type of gem. The gameplay involves you simply swapping one "gem" (aka jewel) with a neighbouring one. I was greeted with gentle, motivating music, calm views of snow capped mountains, and a soft, somewhat cute menu.įor those not familiar with the premise of Bejeweled, let me enlighten you. The initial annoyance was soon reversed once I realised what a relaxing game this can be. As soon as the installer decided to spoil my neatly organised disk drive by automatically installing to the program files folder, I was rather irritated. ![]() I acknowledge I got off to a really bad start with this game. That was nearly seven years ago, and since then there has been numerous variants of the "match 3" concept, including its sequel, the cunningly named Bejeweled 2. The first in what has now become a highly successful "casual" range by PopCap, Bejeweled is a straightforward puzzle game. Reviews // 26th Oct 2008 - 14 years ago // By POBmaestro Bejeweled 2 Deluxe ![]() ![]() ![]() Given my general disdain for cover tracks, the idea of a double disc collection of covers was about as appealing as a romantic dinner with Lars Ulrich, but at least Metallica had the sense to put these cover tracks in a compilation, rather than tainting their studio album experiences as so many other bands tend to do. It seemed extremely unlikely that this once great band would ever produce an album of the sort of quality they once did seemingly at will, so the news of a third release within as many years didn’t exactly have me jumping up and down in excitement. The epitome of a mixed bag, there's something here for everyone, while remaining a release that will satisfy very few.īy this stage the idea of a new Metallica release contained none of the excitement of years gone by. ![]() At an excessive two and a quarter hours in duration, this can be a pretty enduring listen, but there’s enough decent material here to make ‘Garage Inc.’ as vital a part of Metallica’s discography as any of their studio releases. Anger’, this album just kind of sits there, a small, subtle reminder that despite everything, Metallica were still metal fans at heart, who’ve never been afraid to wear their influences on their sleeve. After going alt rock with ‘Load’ and ‘Reload’, but prior to working with an orchestra and all the drama that would follow with Napster and ‘St. ‘Garage Inc.’ came out at a weird point in Metallica’s history. Such is the quality of these covers when compared to their original counterparts. ‘Am I Evil’, ‘So What’, ‘Blitzkrieg’, ‘Helpless’, ‘Breadfan’, ‘Last Caress’ and ‘Stone Cold Crazy’ are more-or-less Metallica songs now. Some are better produced than others, but overall they’re a solid bunch too. The second disc is a compilation of any covers the band had recorded in the past, either for various EPs or as singles b-sides. The likes of ‘Die, Die My Darling’, ‘Turn the Page’, ‘Astronomy’, ‘Whiskey in the Jar’ and ‘It’s Electric’ make this an interesting listen. Well produced, well performed, and special mention to Hetfield’s strong vocals here. The first disc consists of covers recorded for this album in 1998, and while the song list is a little hit or miss, for the most part it’s a solid effort. With beefier guitars, production and Hetfield’s trademark vocal style, pretty much all of these tracks are better than the original. But regardless, Metallica have an incredible talent of doing covers in their own way to truly make the songs their own. Of course, part of that is probably the fact that about 95% of these bands would be absolutely unheard of if it weren’t for Metallica in the first place. ![]() Regardless of your thoughts on the band cutting their hair, Napster, Lars’ drumming, selling out, Kirk’s wah pedal, James being a table, or the countless other things the band have had thrown at them over their careers, one statement that holds up true is that Metallica have always done an incredible job at covering other artists songs. proves anything, it's that the group's musical instincts, risks, and sense of humor have made them the greatest metal band of the '80s and '90s.Released in 1998 during the heyday of their alternative rock phase, ‘Garage Inc.’ is a two-disc compilation of covers by heavy metal legends Metallica. ![]() At one time, it might have seemed a little odd that Metallica would cover Budgie, Diamond Head, the Misfits, and Queen, but if Garage, Inc. And if raw is what you want, the equally diverse disc two provides all the thrills you could hope for. Sure, it may not be nearly as raw as early Metallica, but it is a better listen than either of the Load records. Whether it's Bob Seger, Blue Öyster Cult, Thin Lizzy, Nick Cave, or the all-star jam on Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone," the band effortlessly makes the songs seem like their own, through a bizarre mix of respect and ballsy irreverence. It shouldn't come as a surprise that these covers recall the blooze 'n' boogie heavy rock of the Loads, but what is a surprise is that Metallica seems to have found their footing in this style through other people's songs. The second disc's rarities are balanced by the first disc's new covers, the bulk of which were recorded following the Reload tour. Savvy businessmen that they are, they also realized they needed to give hardcore fans who already owned all the covers a reason to purchase the new set - hence, the expansion of the Garage Days EP to the double-disc blowout Garage, Inc. By 1998, the band had understandably grown frustrated with this situation and decided to confront the problem head-on by reissuing all these rarities. For many years, Metallica's 1987 EP Garage Days Re-Revisited was the most sought-after item in their catalog it was constantly bootlegged in the '90s, and often supplemented by a host of covers Metallica had released on singles and compilations throughout the years. ![]() |
