Naval action ranks wiki5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Links to comparison charts can be found below. These are the NATO rank reference codes, used for easy comparison among NATO countries. Naval Action Wiki 69 pages Explore Popular pages Community in: Ships Essex View source Essex Guns 40 Chasers None Battle Rating 200 Crew 315 Max Speed 12.20 Turn Rate 3. Several of these lists mention NATO reference codes. Comparisons are made between the different systems used by nations to categorize the hierarchy of an armed force compared to another. You can get the crafting recipe of the 3rd rate by random drop from crafting Trincomalees or crafting Constitutions, you can also get it as a random drop from breaking up 3rd rates, however this is not recommended as a 3rd rate is an expensive ship to produce.This article is a list of various nations' armed forces ranking designations. ![]() Compared to a Constitution however she is slower, and not as maneuverable however she has a lot more guns. Naval Action Wiki 69 pages Explore Popular pages Community in: Ships Mercury View source Mercury Guns 20 Chasers None Battle Rating 70 Crew 135 Max Speed 12.48kn Turn Rate 5. The 3rd rate is not a fast ship, the pavel is faster however she is more maneuverable than a pavel and she does not require as much crew. She is almost the size of a 3rd rate ship-of-the-line, she is about just as long but not as tall. Currently she is the largest frigate in the game, both in size, armor and armament. This is an entirely community-driven site. The legendary USS Constitution is a highly popular ship in Naval Action. Crew size for the Flag Captain is shown as a maximum of 500 in the game while the WIKI shows 650. Yard angles, ship angle to wind, cargo, fittings and ship condition affects speeds and turning rates. Naval Action > General Discussions > Topic Details raljr88 11:37am Ranks and Crew Size Am finding there is a variance in ranks from the game to the wiki and other sources. Free Ports, Neutral Ports, and in PvP Open Ports are the exception to that rule. Navy Brig (Fair American) 70: 135: 18: 54pd/164pd: 262: 12.39kn: Shallow: 6th Rate: 5 Rattlesnake Heavy: 70: 130: 26: 84pd/252pd: 271: 12. With all of the nations being at war with each other, sailors of one nation may not enter the ports of any other nation except trading vessels. Advanced wind and physics model provides for realistic portrayal of ship’s performance in the age of sail. Depending upon which nation you choose the difficulty of the game varies significantly. The military is under the civilian control of the Ministry of National Defense, a cabinet-level agency overseen by the Legislative Yuan. For her bow chasers she can either mount 9pd cannons or 68pd carronades and for her stern chasers she can only mount 68pd carronades Welcome to Naval Action Community Wiki This is a work-in-progress rebirth of the Naval Action Wiki, originally hosted and created by OlavDeng2 at .

Naval action has probably the best representation of the age of sail combat mechanics. They consist of the Army, Navy (including the Marine Corps ), Air Force and Military Police Force. Some info may be outdated, use with care or in conjunction with the NA Map. Mike's NA Assistant - A lot of good ship info including frame/planking data, sailing profiles, etc. The third rate can mount 24pd cannons on her lower gun deck, 18pd cannons on her top gun deck and 9pd cannons or 32pd carronade on her weather deck. The Naval Action wiki, containing a ton of good information but be careful as some of it may be outdated. The 3rd rate has 2 gun decks and can also mount cannons on her weather deck The 3rd rate is a 3rd rate ship of the line(if you didnt figure that out through the name), the third rate in the game is based on the Bellona and apart from paint job she looks and performs the same. ![]()

![]() ![]() I originally was going to follow up "The Underground Railroad" with "Harlem Shuffle," but then after the last election - presidential election, I had to sort out my feelings about being in America. WHITEHEAD: Yeah, well, I usually do mix it up - you know, write a serious book or most - more sober book and then something lighter with more jokes. That's Colson Whitehead reading from his new novel, "Harlem Shuffle." So after writing novels with really big social themes, "The Underground Railroad" and "The Nickel Boys," why did you want to write a crime novel set in Harlem in 1959 to '64? ![]() How could he not growing up with a father like that? You had to know your limits as a man and master them. The thing inside him that gave a yell or tug or shout now and again was not the same thing his father had, that sickness drawing every moment into its service, the sickness Freddie administered to more and more. What mattered were your major streets and boulevards, the stuff that showed up on other people's maps of you. (Reading) Everyone had secret corners and alleys that no one else saw. If he got a thrill out of transforming these ill-gotten goods into legit merchandise, a zap-charge in his blood like he'd plugged into a socket, he was in control of it and not the other way around, dizzying and powerful as it was. Nothing major, nothing that attracted undue attention to his store, the front he put out to the world. The odd piece of jewelry, the electronic appliances Freddie and then a few other local characters brought by the store he could justify. (Reading) Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked, in practice and ambition. Neither would his man Buxbaum down on Canal - have a coronary if Carney walked in with that kind of weight. Three hundred rooms, who knows how many guests locking up valuables and cash in safe deposit boxes behind reception - he wouldn't know what to do with it. (Reading) Even if he were crooked enough for his cousin's proposition, he didn't have the contacts to handle a haul from the Hotel Theresa. So I'd like you to do a reading about Ray Carney's reaction to his cousin's proposal about fencing the stolen jewels from this heist after the heist is done. And he thinks this is a - this job is just, like, too big for him. And Ray thinks, wow, robbing that is kind of like pissing on the Statue of Liberty. And you describe this as the Waldorf of Harlem, and it was a real hotel. We're doing a heist of a safe at the Hotel Theresa. But his cousin, who's more of a full-time crook - and this is a cousin who Ray has bailed out all of the cousin's life - the cousin Freddie comes to him and says, look. And just to set this up a little bit - so, you know, Ray Carney is a fence, and he basically deals with pretty small-time stuff. GROSS: I want to start by asking you to do a reading. Thanks for writing it, and thanks for coming back to our show.ĬOLSON WHITEHEAD: Yeah, thanks for having me back. TERRY GROSS, BYLINE: Colson Whitehead, welcome back to FRESH AIR. Terry spoke with Colson Whitehead last year. The novel is about Ray's dual life, class divisions within Harlem and the crimes of the elite compared to crimes on Ray's level. The main character, Ray Carney, owns a furniture store on 125th Street in Harlem, but he has a side line trafficking in stolen goods as a fence or, as he prefers to think of it, a middleman, nothing like his father, who was more of a full-time crook with crooked friends. His latest book is a crime novel called "Harlem Shuffle," set in Harlem between 19. He also wrote a novel about a plague where everyone who's infected becomes a zombie and a memoir about playing poker. There are many sides to Colson Whitehead's writing. "The Nickel Boys" is based on the story of the Dozier School for Boys in northern Florida, a reform school infamous for its mistreatment and brutal punishment of boys who were sent there and for buried bodies discovered on its grounds. It was adapted into a Peabody Award-winning TV series. Our guest, Colson Whitehead, is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner for his novels "The Underground Railroad" and "The Nickel Boys." "The Underground Railroad" is about a 15-year-old enslaved girl who escapes a brutal Georgia plantation. ![]()

Stella mccartney perfume5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, it's darker and drier the longer it's on skin, although it never gets very dark or very dry in keeping with current fashion, it's not a heavy fragrance in any case. L.I.L.Y is also earthy and mossy, but in the modern, clean sense, without any skank or mustiness. It softens quickly, and the lily of the valley, which is already a little vague to my Diorissimo-trained nose, gets vaguer still - in other words, more general spring-like floral, less lily of the valley. The opening is the most lily of the valley you'll get: it's fresh, green, a little sharp, and rather peppery (the notes include pink and black pepper, as well as lily of the valley, truffle, oak moss, patchouli, ambrette and white musk). The rose is prominent but soft, and it has a very modern feel that would appeal even to those who don't care for rose - and the flip side of that, I suppose, is that it might not satisfy someone who adores rose and has three fragrances by Parfums de Rosine.ĭitto here, and then some - anyone looking for a lily of the valley soliflore is likely to be disappointed, as L.I.L.Y is no such thing. Lily of the valley gets a treatment very similar to that of rose in the original Stella perfume, and it's not surprising to learn that McCartney worked with the same perfumer, Jacques Cavallier, for both fragrances. How to capture all that in a fragrance was a real challenge I know it’s not particularly contemporary, and I wanted to modernise it. It is fragile and innocent and delicate, yet it also has this sharp green leaf contrast. I love that it blooms only fleetingly, in Spring, and that it grows in the shade, not in direct sunlight. It’s also a very innocent looking flower, with a real freshness to it. I love lily of the valley I find it to be breathtakingly beautiful. ![]() The name also refers to the scent's lily of the valley note according to McCartney. The new one is L.I.L.Y, reportedly named for her father Paul McCartney's nickname for her mother - LILY, for Linda I Love You. She has followed up with a series of variations and flankers, but has not done another pillar scent until this year. Her first pillar fragrance, Stella, launched in 2003.

Macspice set editor5/16/2023 ![]() True, we expect there won’t be future development, but the package seems very complete and with the ability to import models, it will be very useful for a long time to come. However, we appreciate the free release of this powerful simulator that can give LTSpice a run for its money. We don’t know the circumstances of Spectrum’s closing but we hope it was to move on to something great. The software was under development since 1982. We wish it would work with KiCAD, although we are pretty sure you could figure out some conversion path from one of the formats available. Over 18,000 components in the library have packages available and there is a package editor. One other feature we liked is that the program can output a netlist for printed circuit board programs including Protel, Accel, Orcad, and PADS. This is especially useful if you are stepping parameters or measuring the effect on parameter variation like temperature. You get a nice colored graph that tells you how close you are to smoke or, if you have some red bars, what parts will smoke.Īnother neat feature is that you can create very cool 3D plots. The idea is to run a transient analysis and the program determines if any circuit values exceed the maximum value for a component. With this software, you can set ranges for various circuit components, tell the program what you want to optimize, and it will compute the best values for you. ![]() We frequently use Spice when we are too lazy to do the math required to pick an optimal set of values. One nice touch is that you can view a simulation and interactively change component values and watch the results update right away. You can, however, select “large toolbar” on the Options | Preference menu, which will help. On a big monitor, you might want to use Winecfg to set a higher DPI setting, although the toolbar icons are fixed in size which is a little inconvenient. The 64-bit one would probably work with a little effort. There are also over 2,000 standard digital parts including all the usual 7400 families, CD4000 CMOS, and even ECL.Īs a bonus, we tried it under Wine and it worked well - at least the 32-bit version. There are also quite a few examples provided. It can also export Spice files if you want to use another engine or share designs with other Spice users. It can also read just about any regular Spice or IBIS model. The number of models supported for active devices is impressive and includes some very recent MOSFET models, not just the old standard models. Have a look at the brochure and you will see this is a pretty serious piece of software. There’s a built-in designer for active and passive filters. The simulator boasts a multipage schematic editor, native robust digital simulation, Monte Carlo analysis, 33,000 parts in its library, worst-case and smoke analysis, Smith charts, and it can even incorporate spreadsheets. ![]() You may be thinking: why use another closed-source simulator? Well, all the simulators have particular strengths, but Micro-Cap does have very nice features and used to retail for about $4,500. However, there is a new free option after the closing of Spectrum Software last year: Micro-Cap 12. If you are looking for simulation software, you are probably thinking LTSpice or one of the open-source simulators like Ngspice (which drives Oregano and QUCs-S), or GNUCap. ![]()

Silverlight v s flash5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() The next generation of Silverlight will support Hi-Def video, adaptive streaming, and much more. As a result, developers can write client-side code for Silverlight in the same language they use for server-side code (such as C# and VB), and use many of the same abstractions (including streams, controls, collections, generics, and LINQ). It runs (in several different programming languages now) up to 300 times faster than comparable Flash code, which relies (currently) on ActionScript. Silverlight natively supports the C# language, and uses a range of. Silverlight provides a browser plug-in with many similar features to Flash, but one that’s designed from the ground up for. NET developers a better option for creating rich web content. NET code, which means it’s difficult to integrate ASP.NET content and Flash content. Most browser plug-ins (including Silverlight, Flash, Java and almost all ActiveX controls) only work in 32-bit browsers currently. But with Silverlight 5 on the horizon, some new features will come as well). RECOMMENDED: Use Silverlight in the 32-bit Internet Explorer process on 圆4 systems. Apart from that, there is no way to generate Flash content using server-side. Silverlight has a similar concept called OOB (out of browser) which allows you to install a Silverlight application like a normal app on your system (even though I have to admit, that Flex currently has more options. They need to learn a development environment like ActionScript and Flex. For ASP.NET developers, to extend their websites using Flash content is not so simple. Flash uses ActionScript as the programming language and Flex as the programming environment, and most developers are far from these technologies. But it does not have a huge community as expected it may be because of the limited development tools which are not known to most developers. Flash is not a new technology, and already has had a long life span as compared to Silverlight. ![]() ![]() If you want even more powerful graphical rendering than WPF via the remote deployment options is your bet.Adobe Flash is the most popular competitor to Silverlight, supporting browser plug-ins and enabling the execution of rich content for the Web. If you want on-the-fly resizable graphs and client-side interactive with back-end WCF web services Silverlight can do that. So the question is just how rich you want/need it to be for the users until it hurts the deployment base? Frankly if all you fetch are forms and tabular data and statistics then regular ASP.NET web forms are just fine. So the scale would align this way: (reach) ASP.NET, AJAX, Silverlight, WPF (rich). You did mention this to be an internal app, so WPF via XBAP or ClickOnce are also possible. Even worse are the (non technical) tech journalists who write an. Very rarely have I seen a balanced article or a writer that understands the concepts involved. I’ve heard it all in the last year or two. You have "plain old" HTML and Javascript on one end, acceptable by the most number of client machines out there, and the ultimate full-blown WPF on the other side where limited number of machines can handle. HTML5 kills off flash HTML5 kills off Silverlight HTML5 makes the dinner and does the ironing too. In general, Microsoft is positioning these array of presentation technologies on the " Reach vs Rich" continuum. It is difficult to assess which technology is a good fit without first knowing well enough the domain the application is being applied to, and the problems it is designed to solve. You still have not written a proper description about the nature of your application. ![]()

Pester test examples5/16/2023 ![]() The test is done directly inside a Pester code block not using a function like I did previously.Ĭheck that my Windows Server Power Plan is set to High Performance. Your environment changes frequently and you need to be sure that your infrastructure is aligned with your standard. Pester is often used by sysadmin to do infrastructure testing. For example, using a Pester context block, you can define specific states the server is in before running the test. What is great is all the details (in red color) we can get when a test fails. I set the expected value that I should get and I compare it to the actual value returned by the function. Many more are available like -BeFalse, -BeGreaterOrEqual, -BeLike, -Contain, etc. If the assertion is not met the test fails and an exception is thrown up. The It block should have an expressive phrase describing the expected test outcome.įinally, the Should command defines the test condition to be met. The It block is the one that actually contains the test. They are optional and are useful to organize your test code. You will often have one Describe block for each function you want to test.Ĭontext blocks are like Describe, they contain It blocks. The main commands with Pester are Describe, It, Context, and Should.ĭescribe is a block that contains tests. But there is a really specific problem in PowerShell 2.0 that might make your tests act strangely. The tests will fail when there are any best practice violations with the. Pester is PowerShell 2.0 compatible and as long as PowerShell 2.0 will be relevant Pester will support it. You can ignore the first 3 rows in the Tests file, they came from the New-Fixture function and just dot sources the function to test into the PowerShell session. This will execute the Pester tests in the file above on the specified ARM template. Pester is very declarative and easy to read. This is a very basic function that reverses the string characters. Let’s say I want to write a Pester test for the following PowerShell function.
