This is the way revolutions work, and Ai fits that model effortlessly.Kaiser Kuo: Welcome to the Sinica Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China, produced in partnership with The China Project. This trajectory might threaten to elevate the activist higher than the cause, but it’s a warts-and-all portrayal that reveals he is just the perfect catalyst to something that is far bigger than him. Klayman’s film follows Ai through the bravado of his actions to the darker results of them, thanks to a reactionary government that truly finds him to be a threat. Some may connect with what is more traditionally viewed as contemporary art, but his actions blur the line between performance and reality to such a degree that the line isn’t blurred at all - there is no important difference between performance and reality, and both can be viewed as threatening to an equal degree. It is through these that he connects with people who are willing to take part in his actions with him, whether it’s an almost flash-mob style gathering for dinner or a massive on-site party to celebrate the destruction of an arts center, as opposed to a typical protest. ![]() ![]() Some may see his art as his actual artwork, but Klayman makes a strong case - without ever arguing the point directly - that his art is the constant struggle between him and the government through direct means, as well as a variety of technological ones, notably including constant Twittering and a popular blog. He believes in transparency and he believes in freedom, and he believes in both of these especially in regard to his native country. He is calm and defiant, and seems to have no fear in situations where you believe he should.Īi’s philosophy is simple. What stands upfront is Ai’s uncompromising chutzpah in the face of a dictatorship. It’s not what an ordinary citizen is going to take away, at least. ![]() Ai works to uncover the actual death toll, and the identities of the victims, even as the government attempts to disrupt his effort and keep the information a state secret.Īt the same time, Ai is preparing for a huge exhibition at the Tate Modern in London, but even with a comprehensive biographical spin that well-covers his artwork, it is not that side of the man that comes off as compelling. The film picks up with Ai’s challenge of the Chinese government in direct response to the deaths of thousands of students in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. In regard to Ai, art and protest are practically indistinguishable, and the creation of one is often also the actions of another. “Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry” screens at Images Cinema on Tuesday, Jan. If I had seen it before, that would have stuck with me, certainly.Īnyhow, the man’s name entered popular culture and it was up to me to catch up with the reasons why, which I recently did by watching “Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry,” a documentary film by Alison Klayman that follows him during some pivotal moments in his career, almost all of them having only partly to do with art. It’s pretty funny watching the stoic Ai prance around. Was it his cover version of “Gangnam Style” that shoved him within range of my radar? Maybe, maybe not, since I’m only now watching it for the first time after more than a year of being aware of it. My ego is unshaken, and I will publicly admit to you, and you, and you, that until very recently I didn’t know who artist Ai Weiwei is. ![]()

Many of you may remember this beautiful duo in their roles in “ Goblin.” Lee Dong Wook played the Grim Reaper and Yoo In Na played his long lost love Sunny. Yoon Seo begins working as Jung Rok’s secretary to get more acquainted for a future acting gig, and as much as he despises this situation, he reluctantly agrees. They are opposites in personality and professions Jung Rok is a well-respected attorney and Yoon Seo is a famous celebrity. When Kwon Jung Rok ( Lee Dong Wook) first meets Oh Yoon Seo ( Yoo In Na), the two completely butt heads. By the end, you see that their chemistry is really on fire and that their love for each other is real. The two despise each other from the start, but as the story goes on, you really see their feelings grow. This series shows the complicated emotions that people go through when they break up with someone. At first it seems as though the relationship between Jang Mi and Ki Tae couldn’t possibly work out, and that if it does, it would be somewhat forced. Jang Mi also expresses her annoyance with Ki Tae and it seems like the two would never get along, until Ki Tae sees Jang Mi in a new light and starts to realize his feelings for her. He can’t believe a woman like Jang Mi exists, and above all, she’s the woman that his best friend had just broken up with. His immediate reaction to meeting her is disgust. Kong Ki Tae ( Yeon Woo Jin) meets Joo Jang Mi ( Han Groo) by accident. As the tables turn, Joong Won wears his heart on his sleeve and the intimate scenes they share with each other give all the butterflies and feels! So Ji Sub as Joo Joong Won is hilarious, especially with his detestation for Gong Sil and continually pushing her away despite her “need” for him. When you have Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub as the main leads, you can darn well expect some squeal-worthy kiss scenes. Yes, there is yet another Gong Hyo Jin drama on this list because it has to be mentioned. The two embark on a weird relationship and somehow end up falling in love with each other. The two start off despising each other, but because Gong Sil is able to find peace when she’s around Joong Won, she’s pretty clingy. But when she meets Joo Joong Won ( So Ji Sub), she finds out that when she touches him, she doesn’t see the dead people. Gong Hyo Jin plays Tae Gong Sil, a girl who barely gets enough sleep at night because she’s constantly being pestered by dead people wanting her to do things for them. Watch these two connect on an emotional level in the drama below: ![]() Just look at the way Joo Ji Hoon looks at Kim Hye Soo! This chemistry carried the series, making it one of the best of the year. There is so much tension and angst between them whenever they are on screen. Joo Ji Hoon’s mature acting, character, and aura definitely made us a believer in his connection and feelings for Kim Hye Soo’s Jang Geum Ja. There are not many noona K-drama main leads that can pull this off. This is a noona drama that really doesn’t feel like one. ![]() The two realize that they’re total opposites and are better off staying away from each other, that is, until a specific case forces them to work together. Hee Jae is a lawyer at an elite law firm and Geum Ja, who is also a lawyer, is trying to do whatever she can to get high profile cases so that she can make more money. What Hee Jae doesn’t know is that it’s all part of Geum Ja’s master plan. In “Hyena,” Yoon Hee Jae ( Joo Ji Hoon) falls in love with Jung Geum Ja ( Kim Hye Soo) and makes it pretty obvious that he wants to be with her. Here are 12 “enemies to lovers” K-drama couples that exude intense chemistry.ĭisclaimer: We’re talking SIZZLING, too hot to handle, chemistry! 1. ![]() There is a fine line between love and hate after all, am I right? This trope is always successful in bringing all the feels as we’re able to see the cold-hearted OTP turn from being hateful and angry towards each other to being warm and loving. In K-dramas, when a man and woman meet and absolutely despise each other, they are quick to discover that they may actually have feelings for each other. ![]() ![]() Remember, the high desert is not only magnificent, but year-round you can enjoy crisp weather in the Fall and Winter and warm temperatures in the Spring and Summer months. However, there are plenty of weekend and weekdays to enjoy the solitude of the ranch for Dry RV Camping. But when possible, we allow a portion of the campers to rent on the same days of any event. Moreover, the Racing Ranch serves as the main stage for two yearly music “concerts on the hills.” Also known as the “RAW FESTIVAL.” All major events are blocked off on the calendar. It now serves as headquarters for a series of competition events, including mountain bike racing, off-road events, Pony Express rides, drone racing, running marathons and the very popular “desert tours.” All start and end at the ranch. In recent years, we have once again re-named the ranch as the Racing Ranch, to better describe its function. Subsequently we bought additional acres adjacent and contiguous to ours, including a beautiful hillside where we often parked and enjoy the magnificent visual experience that is the Alta Vista Ranch (we re-named it meaning “high vistas” in Spanish). Anywhere you looked the views were extraordinary! We were sold and bought the ten acres. What sold us was that it was the only plot of land for miles, that offered a 360-degree view of fabulous desert escapes and including the wonderful city of California City. We visited his property and after looking at many pieces of land to buy in the high desert, we knew we had found it. After looking all over the desert, our friend, who owned ten acres just 3.2 miles from the City limits, in East Kern County, invited us to look at his property. We just had to find a place for us desert-lovers. This is where the sun shines about 330 days of the year and where the absolutely stunning, clear, starry skies, pop up every night. We loved the area for racing and for camping out. Currently the property is privately owned and is adjacent to large sections of publicly held lands.įor years we've raced the Mojave Desert, and the areas within the California City, City limits. In the era of the California Missions, this land was a part of the Spanish land grants. This land was sparsely populated by the Chumash Indian and is evident by the numerous cave painting that remain here in the Caliente mountain. There are two sites where RVs are welcome. We believe it will give you a better appreciation of life's simpler side. This is our home but we love to share our life in the outback. ![]() Our Lodge, Ranch House and Glampsites are available on occasion. Our Songdog Camps are sparsely scattered atop a 200 foot mesa that looks west over a valley offering stunning desert sunsets. You, the coyotes and your own private moon. The preconfigured trailer will sleep two and the site is provided with water and fresh bedding for each booking. This is truly a get away from it all camping. Our Carrizo Camp is surrounded by the Carrizo Plains National Monument. This is where the deer and the antelope play. Cave paintings of Chumash Indians remind us of those who lived before us. Seasonally, Spring wildflowers burst across the landscape. Completely removed from civilization and surrounded by a barren nature that is alive with the subtle presence of the universe. ![]() If you've ever wondered what it might be like to camp on the moon, this is it. Both days and nights are amazing from the location of this unforgettable property in the canyon.Check out additional information under our Tent Cabin, Camping, and RV listings.We look forward to your booking and to meeting you at The Desert Rose Collective! It features a sun shade structure with a bar, an outdoor kitchen, a semi-outdoor bathroom, plenty of seating and shaded areas to relax and enjoy the fabulous views. You may self certify that you have received your vaccine by not wearing a mask or continue to do so, if you wish._The Desert Rose Collective is a work in progress!

If foetal hypoxia occurs for an extended period of time. Foetal hypoxia can occur for several reasons, such as if the mother has anaemia or if there is decreased blood flow to the uterus. Foetal Hypoxia: It is another possible cause of a late heartbeat in pregnancy.Maternal hypertension can cause damage to the placenta and restrict blood flow to the baby, both of which can lead to a delay in the heartbeat. ![]() Hypertension: This can occur for various reasons, including preeclampsia (a condition that occurs only during pregnancy), gestational hypertension, and chronic hypertension (high blood pressure that existed before pregnancy).Other problems with the placenta can also cause a delay in the heartbeat, such as placental abruption (when the placenta detaches from the uterus) or placental infarction (when part of the placenta dies). If it isn't functioning properly, the baby may not get enough oxygen, which can cause a delay in the heartbeat. The placenta is the organ providing oxygen and nutrients to the developing baby. Placenta: The most common cause of a delayed heartbeat is a problem with the placenta.It may be due to the mother's health, the baby's health, or a combination of both. ![]() There are many possible causes of a late heartbeat in pregnancy. If baby heartbeat is not found in ultrasound after 10 weeks, further investigations will likely be necessary to confirm the viability of the pregnancy. Late onset of foetal heartbeats can also occur due to abnormalities such as chromosomal problems or placental insufficiency. This isn't cause for concern either, as long as everything else appears normal on your ultrasound.

Other standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, and ambient interior lighting. The Evoque can be ordered with a very cool textured-cloth upholstery that covers the seats, door panels, and dashboard leather is still offered as standard, though. That said, the interior materials are quite nice. When compared with other subcompact SUVs such as the X1 and the XC40, the Evoque's rear seats feel downright confined. Unfortunately, the Evoque's chunky exterior dimensions belie its cabin space, which is tight-especially for those in the back seat. For more information about the Evoque's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. ![]() In our 75-mph fuel-economy test, a P250 returned a rather dismal 24 mpg. The EPA estimates that the Evoque should deliver 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway.

There is also a three-pixel tall backpack variant, which includes about 80 crewmates. There are also "no backpack" versions accounting for about 250 crewmates. The backpack on these crewmates is two pixels tall, and these account for approximately 1,600 crewmate sightings. The most common is a 5x4 design with a backpack, followed by a "minimongus" 4x4 design. There are about five different types of crewmates (not counting left / right distinctions), as found by u/PitsPower. ![]() Many redditors described the Among Us crewmates as an "infection" or "virus." There was no official organized effort to include crewmates in r/place 2022, as the phenomenon developed organically. The crewmates, as part of pop culture, are often called "amongus" / "amogus" in the singular and "amongi" / "amogi" in the plural.įor a list of artworks that made it to the final canvas with Among Us crewmate griefing, see Among Us Crewmate Sightings. The simple design of the Among Us crewmates made griefing artworks with them easy and, sometimes, subtle. As of r/place 2022, its popularity had waned but the game had settled into the zeitgeist of Internet pop culture. The Berlin Victory Column topped with a detailed depiction of one of the Among Us crewmates, coupled with a minimongus variant.Īmong Us is a social deduction game created in 2018 that exploded in popularity in 2020. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re going to mod, I’d go with lloesche. If you’re planning to play vanilla and do no modding, I’d go with mbround18. They both host the same Valheim server code, although mbround18 uses something called “Odin” to monitor the server and lloesche uses “Supervisor.” The Supervisor control settings can be exposed to the web, although only over and only using simplified passwords so it might be good to have on all the time. ![]() The lloesche distro has a simple setup as well (they can both be brought up with docker compose). The mbround18 version comes with a simple setup and simple configuration. Both versions support BepInEx-Valheim however the mbround18 version specifically supports it as an optional addition that you add whereas lloesche supports it out of the box and baked into the image. There’s the lloesche docker image which is the advanced version and mbround18 which is the vanilla version. There’s two Valheim docker images to choose from. If you rent a cloud server you’ll have to pay the hosting cost, although many VPS hosts that meet what you need are only a few dollars per month. If you do setup the server at home and have a dynamic IP, you’ll need to get some way to keep a consistent way to share your server information with your users. You have to balance convenience and cost. Valheim can also run on Amazon EC2 ( ) and for the technology advanced you can even spool it up on Kubernates (manifest here: ). It can also run on some older hardware.įor cloud based setups, you can get a virtual private server (VPS) with those specifications for very little as well. That’s not a lot with modern quad-core CPUs being standard everywhere and 16GB of RAM being common, but it’s also important to note that this means it can run well on a NAS (network attached storage) using something like TrueNAS or Synology. The best setup would be a dual-core 5ghz system with 8gb+ of RAM. ![]() At a minimum you’ll need a dual-core setup of about 4ghz and 4gb of RAM. The server-side tracks the client’s position and reports various stats to the other connected clients. Valheim is a mostly client-side game so the server requirements aren’t steep. Setting up your server correctly can avoid rebellion. The Value of a Personal World Storage System.In this guide we’re going to go over these major points: You can put it on your NAS (network attached storage), a spare PC or in the cloud.Įither way, we’ve got everything you need to know about setting up your own server and what to do once it’s running. ![]() Plus the assurance that since you’re running it, you know if it’s up or down. So setting up your own server may be an option, especially if you want persistence and full control over the game world. Yet you’re now stuck paying for a server that you could play this month or you could not and often times these hosts can have data export restrictions making your game world… their game world. If you do that you’re basically done rent the server, follow the server hosts guide and voila. It’s simple and some even let you host mods. You could rent a dedicated server for a myriad of hosts. This of course requires your computer to be on and you to be playing, but what about when everyone wants to build cooperatively but not have the host on? Then it’s time for a dedicated server. One of the beautiful things about Valheim is that single player can become multiplayer at anytime by inviting other players into your world and vice-verse. Valheim is an amazing viking journey through a hostile world made so much better with friends. ![]() ![]() Launch the Game: Start the game, and your controller should be recognized and ready to use.

Installation and Setup Download: Visit the official website or FileHorse and download the latest version of the software. Advanced Configuration: Advanced users can fine-tune various controller settings, dead zones, and sensitivity to optimize gameplay. Force Feedback: It supports force feedback functionality, providing a more immersive gaming experience. Game Profiles: The software automatically detects and creates game profiles, simplifying the setup process. ![]() Customization: Users can map buttons and configure controller settings according to their preferences. Features Controller Emulation: It emulates Xbox 360 controllers, ensuring compatibility with games that support Xbox controllers. x360ce is 100% FREE and can be used even with legacy versions of Windows OS. While in minimized mode, OS will reduce prioritization of rendering its demanding user interface and focus performance only on correctly emulating the virtual gamepad. While x360ce (Xbox 360 Controller Emulator) can be considered a lightweight on any modern PC, gamers with aged PC configurations can extract a bit more performance from this app by minimizing it before starting a game session. Details like that can often mean a difference between winning and losing in a crowded online match. Of course, if the user wishes he can even personalize the gamepad for each individual game, with remapped buttons and tweaked sensitivity of the analog sticks. This even includes an option to tweak the functioning of all buttons, sticks, triggers, force feedback emulation, and much more. The app is incredibly versatile and offers support for both quick binding and moving on to playing video games, and the ability to completely customize every aspect of the gamepad emulation. The app will automatically detect connected gamepads and offer users to create presets and bind their functions to the “virtual” Xbox 360 gamepad that is shown in the “General” tab. Once started, users will be welcomed with an interface that is both crowded and still easy to learn. Even better, since the app lacks an official installer, it can even be used as a portable app on a USB stick. To get x360ce up and running on any modern Windows PC, users simply have to download and unpack this app anywhere on their local storage. As of 2023, the complete database of gamepads that this app maintains includes over two and a half million individual devices. ![]() This includes even popular models of gamepads produced by Logitech, Thrustmaster, and many other manufacturers. The importance of apps like these has risen over the years, especially after the 2010s when almost every video game developer and publisher embraced the use of the modern xInput standard, which has left an incredible variety of older Direct Input-based gamepads without the ability to interact with modern games. X360ce (Xbox 360 Controller Emulator) is a lightweight emulator that can mask the presence of various third-party controllers and make them visible to the OS like they are in fact a standard Xbox 360 gamepad that is fully compatible with the latest xInput standard for communicating with video game applications. ![]() ![]() Key feature of this implementation is use of multiple connections to overcome downsides of multiplexing many tunneled TCP connections in single SSH session.

Usually this is restricted to port 443 (hint: if you make your sshd listen on 443 this will work with most of the public proxies even thought I do not recommend to do this for interop and security reasons). The proxy and the sshd are running on the same host in my example but all you need is any proxy that allows you to CONNECT to your ssh port. This scenario works with a default installation of tinyproxy with Allow and ConnectPort 22 being set in /etc/nf. The result is a TCP tunnel over the established session that is usually used to tunnel SSL but can be used for any tcp based protocol. At first the connection to the proxy is established and the proxy is instructed to connect to localhost:22.
