While the pageant represented an opportunity for young Chinese American women to connect with members of their community and to learn about Chinese culture, it also drew in tourists to patronize businesses. Ironically, my first publication on the Miss Chinatown Beauty Pageant explored how Chinese New Year’s celebrations, specifically those in San Francisco Chinatown, served multiple functions. So, even though I was aware of Lunar New Year (eating lucky foods like dumplings and fish, receiving red envelopes from elders in exchange for happy new year salutations and wishes of good fortune, or knowing my zodiac year - I am a monkey), it never felt like the important holiday that it was supposed to be. Since our family ran a restaurant, initially, and then a convenience store, we rarely had time for extended holiday celebrations. But it was a far cry from the large concentrations in Seattle and Vancouver, where we visited once a year to stock up on Chinese groceries and to eat dim sum. My family socialized with other small business owners and their families as well as international students and faculty. “I immigrated at the age of six and grew up in Spokane, Washington, which was home to a small Chinese American community.

In either version, the ox was to be the first to arrive, but the rat cheated by riding on the ox’s back and made a last-minute dash to the finish line. Then the Chinese folklore changed to a competition among the animals when the Jade Emperor was choosing palace guards. By about the first century AD, the 12 zodiac animals became matched to the more ancient calendar of a 60-year cycle used by the central states of China.Ī Buddhist legend tells of the animals rushing to bid farewell to the dying Buddha. "The 12-animal zodiac is important to people of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia, Tibet and other East Asian cultures, although its origin is somewhat obscure, possibly beginning in animal worship of northern nomadic tribes.

9/28/2023 0 Comments What is windows powershell![]() ![]() It was a basic shell that was useful for managing files, called MS-DOS Executive. It can either be GUI ( graphical user interface) based, or it can be built on top of a CLI (command-line interface).Īlthough shell has been around since the Multics operating system launched in 1969, Windows introduced its version, the Shell, in November 1985. Essentially, it acts as an interface between you and the operating system. This is where they discover their full potential.įinally, if we want to know all the available PowerShell cmdlets, all we have to do is execute the command "Show-Command", which will open a window displaying a long list of all commands.Before we dive into PowerShell, let's first nail down another question: "What’s a shell?"Ī shell is a computer program that takes commands through the keyboard, interprets them, and relays them onto the operating system to execute. Its true potential is revealed when the command is combined with other parameters. Taken one by one, all of these commands may not seem very useful. Using PowerShell you can also find out which processes are running (its operation is similar to that of the Get-Service command). It allows selective deletions based on a series of specific parameters. The command to delete any item like folders, files and functions. It is used by writing Invoke-Command next to the script with its exact location. It is used to execute a script or a PowerShell command on one or more computers. ![]() Used to know what services are installed on the systema, both those that are running and those that are already stopped. It also allows you to copy and rename them. Using this command you can copy folders or files. For example, to find out more about the Get-Service cmdlet, type "Get-Help Get-Service". One of the first things to learn to handle PowerShell well, since this command will provide us with all the documentation we need to know about functions, cmdlets, commands and scripts. Here's a list of handy cmdlets that can be used in PowerShell, though they're just a small sampling of them all: Get Help In the Run box that opens next, we type "PowerShell" and click on "To accept".Simultaneously press the keys Windows + R. ![]() To start working with the PowerShell tool, you must access the Run function included in Windows by following these steps: An example might be an administrator who wanted to connect to a server located in a different physical location where he could execute commands in the same way as if he were working directly. Remote connectionĪlso noteworthy is the ability of PowerShell to connect remotely to another system. Through a single cmdlet script, a routine type task (such as updating the operating system) can be implemented to be executed on a network of computers every certain time. Related to this is the ability to Scalability offered by Windows Powershell. Each of these commands can be used individually or in combination to execute more complex tasks., reaching a remarkable degree of automation. Others can be added to these cmdlets own. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of PowerShell, which incorporates several cmdlets basic, simple function commands built into the shell. Also, all the information is available to the user single command line. This "pathway" remains open through the use of the base. PowerShell allows us to access the computer's file system, even reaching the most inaccessible data and information, such as the Windows registry. PowerShell can be of great help to users looking to achieve a certain degree of automation of their tasks, from searches to exporting information on networked computers.Īll actions are executed through the command combination ( command lets o cmdlets) and through the scripting. There is no doubt that this is one of the best solutions designed by Microsoft in recent times. Thanks to them, greater agility is achieved when carrying out the most diverse tasks, both in a local and remote system. There are currently about 130 command line tools in PowerShell. NET Framework, one of the most widely used in the world. On the other hand, it uses a programming language developed in Microsoft's. This powerful shell from Microsoft uses script language, making these tasks even easier to perform. In fact, Windows PowerShell is a modern command shell that has been created by taking the best of the salient features of other shells. In computing, it is given the name of shell to a command line interface whose main functions are to collect information and execute programs. Windows PowerShell is an instrument that was conceived with the laudable idea of making life easier for programmers. ![]() 9/28/2023 0 Comments One piece odyssey mod![]() ![]() That was literally all i needed to be way over leveled. I fought what few enemies I saw and made sure to complete the bonus challenges. I never said I fought 50 bats, I said I am a grinder, I never said I actually did any grinding at all. You sat here and fought 50 bats and started complaining because you're over leveled. ![]() you can literally run past most encounters. if you fight everything the game will be easy that's how rpgs work.

But, i was level 20 again within the next 30 mins cause everything gives way to much exp. Originally posted by Xealix:you were level 40 for like 10 mins and then you were level 1. So until they do an official patch this is all we got. Originally posted by Billy Blaze:Good luck with the "Deafeat this enemy in the first round!" challenges after finishing the first chapter.Įveryone should play the game the intended way and should look into this mod for some sort of "2nd run challenge" cause it can and will ruin the experience the first time through, Did you play through the mod though to tell if it will ruin my experience? I personally would prefer the game to not be kinda easy on my first play through. I really REALLY doubt people know what they are doing when releasing such a mod one day after release.Įveryone should play the game the intended way and should look into this mod for some sort of "2nd run challenge" cause it can and will ruin the experience the first time through, It's already kinda exhausting, but since the fights don't last that long, it's still fine. Plus, there are challenges like "Win 20 fights in this place!", and that multiple times. Later on, it's all about finding the sweetspot to one-shot enemies or at least defeat them in one round. I'm all for a difficulty patch from people who developed the game, but not from random modders who just crank up some numbers based on data from the first chapter. but enemies with significant higher stats would ruin the flow of the combat.Įspecially since some larger ones already take quite the beating till they go down.

![]() ![]() Thus managing stress is one of the most important things for a colony. Left unchecked this can quickly spiral out of control, and your colony can fail quickly. This can contaminate drinking water and spread disease, and other dupes will have to step in it to pass by or clean it up, increasing their stress levels. For example, a dupe who's a Vomiter, will of course, vomit when stressed, generating large amounts of Polluted Water. One stressed dupe can also increase the stress of others with their stress response. This usually makes them incapable of carrying on with their assigned tasks. When a duplicant reaches 100% stress they will exhibit a stress response. What will kill most colonies is an overload of Stress. But this isn't important in the first few cycles. That way, later you can clear up this space and add items to increase the Decor, which further lowers stress. ![]() Leaving a gap between the ceiling and top of any items you build early on can be beneficial for the same reason. You should leave a space or two between every couple Cots for future items you might want to build (e.g., Decor). Having a bed to sleep in decreases Stress and prevents them from getting the Sore Back debuff from sleeping on the floor. It is recommended to clear a space to make Cots for your Dupes. ![]() However, Duplicants must step in clean water or shower in order to clean themselves.Īt this point, you can begin to think about expansion and growing your colony to survive past the first few cycles. Luckily, polluted water can easily be mopped up. When a Duplicant steps in polluted water they will become stressed out. If not, they'll make a mess on the floor, which creates Polluted Water. Because the bladders of Duplicants fill up once every cycle (twice if they have the Small Bladder trait) it is important to supply them with a toilet. Your first building should be an Outhouse, which you can find in the Plumbing menu. A golden rule of ONI is "Don't expand too fast too early." This includes accepting new Duplicants from the Printing Pod, not just making your base bigger! Not only will your Duplicants waste time digging out areas, your small oxygen supply will be spread out over a larger area, hastening your death by low oxygen. Although these won't kill your Duplicants (affectionately known as Dupes), they do complicate life early on. At this early stage you should try to avoid any polluted water/oxygen, poisonous gases or vacuum spaces. The first step you want to take is to start digging around to gather materials, increase your space and get access to water and other oxygen pockets. The recommended game mode for beginners arguably is the "No Sweat" mode and the Terra asteroid. See Game Settings for a description of those.

![]() ![]() Again download it and then extract everything to gamedata directory. Now let’s install mod Kopernicus which is for modifying planet textures and other stuff. And then just extract it into gamedata directory as every other mod. To download it you can choose from a lot of different colors. Next up we have Galileo’s Sun Flares which will make the Sun or in KSP Kerbol looks much better and you will also have that nice realistic lens flare effect. To install it copy all photos inside the texture replacer/default folder. ![]() There is also another skybox mod available but as I said it was not working for me, but you can give it a shot. ![]() From what I know texture replacer will not work with for example. If you want to use different skybox you can but you need. You can download it from dropbox also link will be in the video description. So download it from GitHub then open it up and extract it into KSP gamedata directory.įor that better skybox I will be using Rareden’s real 8k skybox. Next mod will be Texture Replacer which was surprisingly updated and we will be using it for changing the skybox. Do the same thing for SVE and SVE textures. First one will be EVE, again open it up and extract its content inside the KSP gamedata directory. But if you will don’t have any clouds after I will show you all these steps you can try downloading EVE with configs. There are config files already in scatterer so if you will download and use both you will end up with overlaying textures and very bad performance. Then you will also need to download EVE or Environmental Visual Enhancements but do not download configs. From SVE textures you can choose between high, medium and low resolution textures but I will use high resolution. So download the base mod also with textures. Next up will be mod SVE or Stock Visual Enhancements. So open up that downloaded scatter file and copy inside of a folder gamedata into KSP gamedata directory. So if you have it downloaded you will now need something which can work with archives, for example WinRAR or 7-Zip. So let’s start by downloading first mod called scatterer which will add some awesome looking fog, reflection of water with waves and much more. ( Default KSP location is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData) And all downloaded mods you will be putting into GameData folder. I highly recommending you to make clean ksp installation just for this purpose. To do it open up steam, right click to kerbal space program, properties, local file and browse local files.
