![]() Step 2) After download, Now Install MinerGate Package In our Ubuntu System. So I will show you all the steps in Ubuntu operating system. Step 1) First Download MinerGate on your system, Minergate comes with two versions one is GUI and Another one is the console version and it supports Windows, Ubuntu, and Mac system. How to Mine Cryptocurrency Using MinerGate and In this tutorial, we will see how to start mining on your CPU using MinerGate. It also allows users to build without investing in hardware by using their home CPU and GPU. Minergate is based on the Cryptonote protocol and allows its customers to mine various coins such as Bitcoin, Gold, Zcash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Monero, and Grin. It allows you to mine cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Monero, and more on your PC or laptop. Minergate is a cryptocurrency mining pool where people can use their computers to give hashing power to hundreds or thousands of other miners. and today In this blog I will give you a complete guide on how to mine cryptocurrency using MinerGate. and most people are now days are interested in mining Ethereum because right now it's profitable. Write Now Ethereum is the largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization and the most profitable cryptocurrency in terms of performance, can only be promoted by joining an Ethereum mining pool such as Mining ETH. And for earning a good amount of money you need a lot of Good amounts of Graphic cards. The cryptographic equations require a lot of computing power to solve. Mining is the process of creating or earning a new coin by solving complex mathematical cryptographic equations to get coins as a reward. Most people are familiar with the mining term but if you don't know about mining don't worry I will explain you In brief. But today we will talk about how to generate or earn crypto coins using mining. What I would like to know said, is that if any of our readers is dedicated to mining and can share with us their experience and characteristics of their equipment and especially if it is worth taking the time and investment to enter this world and especially if linux is a recommended system for this work.Nowadays everyone is talking about cryptocurrency and many people are buying or trading In cryptocurrency. Since looking a little you can find specialized equipment for mining such as the Antminer and some USB devices. I leave you the link if you are interested here.įor my part, I can say that at the moment I am going to acquire a license for this system, since at the beginning I do not intend to enter the world of mining at the moment and it is not due to lack of interest but due to lack of investment since at the moment I don't have a team capable enough to be profitable. The price of the distribution is of the modest amount of $ 39 USD. Or you could understand that your mining job could be remunerative for another portfolio. Flashing bios- atiflash utility allows fast bios flashing.Īs I mentioned, this distribution is paid, so according to its official website we must pay for each copy installed on each computer, if a red-eyed goat does not visit you.Quick start: Boot fast miner, low disk / CPU usage and no running out of space issues.Easy upgrade- Without complications you can update ethOS with the ease of using a single command.EasyKVM- A terminal window opens with focus on startup, no need to use the mouse.Automatic reporting- You can view a web dashboard with detailed platform statistics, charts, and recent event reports.Stratum enabled- Automatically configured to mine through an efficient bed.GPU overheating protection- GPUs automatically throttle up or shut down if they reach high temperature levels.Extremely light- Works with the weakest CPU possible in the last 5 generations with only 2GB of RAM.Remote configuration- Instruct the platform for remote reboot, set central clocks, MEM clocks, fan speed control, pool information and other settings remotely.Works on your hardware- Runs on thousands of platforms with thousands of different components.Supports all hardforks and softforks: it is not necessary to deal with extra Blockchain storage, blockchain synchronization managed by pools and wallets.Browser-based terminal: allow the configuration and configuration of ethOS computers by connecting to their IP addresses through your web browser.Supports multiple currencies- Ready to mine Ethereum, Zcash, Monero and many other coins from GPM. ![]()

![]() And one of the features of a good puzzle, I think, is to draw attention to intriguing aspects of the English language. Isn't it interesting how often we use articles of clothing to describe personality types? I never thought of it before.

Quite a few unknown people and CAFTAN wasn't easy, but crosses saved the day. I also love STUFFED SHIRTS and how many of them write in the comments section of this blog. ETOILE crossing EAU with OMNIA nearby and the foreign languages almost whooped me, but I kept at it as y'all recommend and finally found a solution. Put some PANTS on dude.Ĭenter of the puzzle gave me some fits. Perhaps the puzzle is an omen reminding me to knock it off. I dress down in the summer with shorts, T-shirts, and sandals and I look ridiculous most days. I believe the jacket is thankfully going the way of the rest of civilization. Isn't EMPTY SUIT a cute saying? I wonder about the percentage of people under 40 who've never owned a suit. MESSAGE in a bottle, maybe? Anyway, think about it. ![]() It's good that grids got fresher and more diverse, and it's good that I lived long enough to actually get *nostalgic* for "OMOO" and "TYPEE." So "OMOO" and "TYPEE," if you're out there, I miss you guys. If you started solving in the last century, then one of the first things you learned, if you didn't know it already, was that Melville wrote "OMOO" and "TYPEE" and they were going to be your constant companions on your journey into griddom. Those titles used to be All Over the grid. Why is this relevant? Because he brought up Melville's classic tales of the South Seas, "OMOO" and "TYPEE," and honestly I nearly teared up because I hadn't seen them in so long. I was reading about the rise of Tiki culture in California in the mid-20th century and the writer (Kevin Starr) dug back to its 19th century roots, when America's fascination with Polynesia began. This is why I can never really be that mad at CHER or ADELE, no matter how many times I see them. I could go off about what a great actress GENA Rowlands is and how much I always enjoy seeing her, even if you could argue her name falls under the general rubric of "Crosswordese." Greatness transcends "Crosswordese," imho. These are all clothing-based metaphors used to describe kinds of (flawed) people. ![]() STUFFED SHIRT is more a metaphor, and actual SCAREDY PANTS don't even exist. BLACK HAT, EMPTY SUIT (actually, "SUIT" = "executive" is a paradigmatic example of metonymy). Clothing metonyms! Actually, only some of these are metonyms (where an attribute of a thing stands for the thing). There's a great consistency to this set, as the phrases don't just *end* with clothing (like endings being a conventional thematic premise), but stand, as a whole, for a kind of person. The metaphors got somewhat more familiar to me as the grid went on, with BLACK HAT and EMPTY SUIT being semi-familiar but not terms I'd use, and TURNCOAT and STUFFED SHIRT being familiar terms I wouldn't hesitate to use myself. As for the theme, I think it's pretty lovely. Most of the fill was common, repeater-type stuff ( APED and ANAIS and ATIT and the like), but it was clean enough. I wrote in "THERE!" instead of " TRY IT!," that cost me maybe five seconds ( 29D: "Have some!"). Or the Acrosses were super easy, and so the Downs were easy. And even getting waylaid in PANTSville wasn't so bad, as all those long Down PANTS crosses were super easy. But TOT got rid of DELTS and RNA got me TRAPS and then after getting waylaid in PANTSville for a bit, nothing else stood in my way. well, lots of muscles connect to the shoulder, it turns out. DELTS is a perfectly good answer for that clue, it's just. I wrote in DELTS at 1A: Shoulder muscles, in gym lingo ( TRAPS), that slowed me down for a few seconds right out of the gate. I kinda wish I were still timing myself, because I wasn't really trying to speed and I still think I would've broken 3 minutes today (extremely, near record-breakingly fast for me on a Wednesday). This played like a Tuesday shading into Monday. The whole "wait, it's not CAT?" thing was a fiasco, but it was also the only part of the grid that gave me any difficulty whatsoever.

It is useful not only in assessing DVT but can also identify other conditions causing signs and symptoms indistinguishable from DVT. ![]() US is used in evaluation of both symptomatic and asymptomatic DVT (patients at high risk of DVT). With advent of newer, safer and cheaper techniques like CT venography (CTV) it is seldom performed except when concurrent intervention is planned. ![]() This method is also associated with a small risk of contrast reaction and iatrogenic venous thrombosis. However, it is an invasive procedure that requires expertise and large volume of intravenous contrast. Historically, contrast venography was the first imaging procedure available for diagnosing DVT and is still considered the gold standard with clot being identified as a filling defect or non-opacification of the vein ( 12, 13). The purpose of this article is to review the established modalities used for characterization and diagnosis of DVT, and further explore promising innovations and recent advances in this field, all of which when taken together may have a positive impact on the diagnosis and treatment of VTE. The imaging of DVT has evolved over the past few decades from conventional contrast venography (first described in 1963) ( 11) and duplex sonography in 1980s to computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance venography (MR venography) and scintigraphy and the latest molecular imaging/nanotechnology. Imaging tests by their virtue of readily identifying, localizing the DVT are widely used in routine clinical care. ![]() Thus there is a need for more accurate and noninvasive diagnostic tests, not only to diagnose DVT but also for proper localization and monitoring during and after treatment. In addition to these, specific predisposing factors for upper extremity DVT are the use of central venous catheters, pacemakers and automated implant defibrillators ( 6), effort thrombosis in otherwise healthy individuals (Paget-Schroetter syndrome) and thoracic outlet obstruction related to anatomic anomalies ( 7).Ĭlinical diagnosis of DVT is unreliable and routinely used laboratory screening tests such as D dimer tend to have high sensitivity but a very low specificity ( 8- 10). The common risk factors for upper and lower extremity DVT are trauma, malignancies and side effects of their treatment, sepsis, past DVT or PE, inherited blood clotting disorders (thrombophilias), hormone therapy (for birth control or postmenopausal symptoms), pregnancy or recent delivery and varicose veins. The main cause of DVT is stasis of the blood flow. In comparison, upper extremity DVT has much lower incidence in the range of 4–11% ( 3- 5). While the precise number of people affected by VTE is unknown, as per the latest CDC data and statistics published in June 2015 as many as 900,000 people could be affected (1 to 2 per 1,000) each year in the United States and about 60,000–100,000 die of VTE, one-half have long-term complications (post-thrombotic syndrome) and one-third will have a recurrence within 10 years. ![]() It commonly occurs in the lower extremity and is associated with life threatening complication of pulmonary embolism (PE) referred together as venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) ( 1, 2).

David’s twin brother Don (Wasson, in a dual role), a failed college teacher, returns to his hometown of Milburn for his brother’s funeral, and to inform his father that David’s death was not an accident. She’s a… rotting corpse, and David recoils in horror, falling backwards out the window of his high-rise apartment, smashing to the ground.

Everyone has their own way and principle to portrait their character. This is my working attitude during my cosplay working time. I’ll make sure is the character who lead the way, bring in the character emotional and feeling, just like be possessed by the character. I will make sure that I’m fully into situation, into the character. I’m someone who very strict (to my partner too!) when it comes to work. In the meanwhile, let’s say im in a cosplay working condition I will be in a different emotional and attitude too. That allows me to have all kind of thinking and direction for the character. I love having the freedom of creativity within my world. I like to try some different direction like CP,BL, GL, Transgender, Funny, Playful and OOC too. But I like to take some self-serving portfolio too. It actually can let us portrait the character though acting, act the characteristic of the chosen character, figure out a different emotional feeling… It felt so good! I believe this is the best part of cosplay, and I personally like this part the most too. I love to take storyline-based photos which is more originally relates to the project. It is free to create, self-serving, full with imagination… I personally think that cosplayer and illustrator do work the same, other than originality there’s other possibility too. With the interest of creating a better creative idea, Regarding on the attitude toward cosplay… I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the one who supporting us but can’t meet the requirement to view the photos. Where you will need to meet certain requirement to view the photos. Because of this issue, we decided to place most of our sexier portfolio in e-magazine. Be frank, I’m not surprise on the number of peoples reporting our Facebook page. Where most of the cosplayer is in the younger generation too. However, I think maybe this is what’s happening in Asia, most of them is in a conservative mindset. I stayed in portrait shooting quite some time, so I slowly adapted into the culture and try on different culture of shooting too. Where more open-minded and higher acceptance level from them. There’s something called Art in Lust, which more towards western style western culture. Therefore, it is hard to determine the differences between those two. Most of the time, I will view it in an artistic way. My profession is from Art stream and current job relates to art too (we’re not professional cosplayer). Because of this matter occur the dropping of fans amount, ignoring our others signature portfolio… All I can said was you don’t know us you don’t understand us at all. If you don’t like it you can choose to leave. And there’s many different kinds of photography style and in between of sexy-lusty and artistic everyone has their own definition too. ![]() ![]() Since we have our own fans page, we’re still doing the same style as now. Our portfolio involving many different kind of style. ![]() Let me guess, the one who say so is someone that never be with us since the very beginning right And never know us well too. Maybe some people might say, we’re walking towards sexy-lusty pathway. I wish to try my best to try on different things. It will eventually reflect on out photos! No matter is cosplay or some style of photograph. It will just spoil my mood.īy the way, Yao is someone who doesn’t like to stay in the same style forever. I don’t want to waste time on someone who has a different mindset as mine. I just want to happily stay in my cosplay life. Anyways, we are speaking different languages. So, sometimes people come and ask me “Hey Yao, why don’t you work with who in particular… Maybe, just maybe he or she is that kind of person that I’m don’t appreciate. Yao met with similar kind of people before, and started to slowly keep distance with them. “How if I’m no longer famous, can I still get a job now” Started to fight with others, comparing among your friends, there’s also someone who starting to take advantages from someone to ensure self to be on top, bad mouth others and so on…… It will slowly be depressing yourself, will started to force yourself to do some character that you don’t like, slowly forget who you’re, and you’ll started to doubt your life. FYI, it will no longer a pure hobby when it slowly went into a business pathway. However, hardly to take a hobby as a permanent job. All this while, I position cosplay as my hobby. I came back 6 years ago, start it all over again and giving full force into cosplay. Nothing in particular, just felt like sharing some of my thought… just take it as a mumbling session from me……īeing in ACG circle for almost 19 years, there’s by fits and starts (Yao did portrait shooting in the middle of time). ![]() And then you discover there are no good movies to watch? For most people, it happens frequently. The Medium is now showing exclusively on Shudder.How many times have you sat down for the evening, gotten comfortable with your drink, put on your lounge pants. Overall, The Medium is a fantastic example of blood-curdling horror that overcomes its lack of innovation with a strong focused eye on conveying terror, wonderful lead performances, composed sense of pacing and a harsh atmosphere that will surely bring audiences on the edge of their seats. It helps that the storytelling never peaks in its assured sense of pacing as the filmmakers dive down the rabbit hole as the situation gets worse and worse. The escalation of tension is incredibly gripping and the identifiable emotions make it easy to believe and the characters would undergo such actions. One memorable setpiece (which is quite similar to the set-piece in The Wailing) involves a shamanism ritual that crosscuts back to the afflicted being trapped and enraged whilst it is happening. But the oppressive mood, the craft behind the scares and the sympathetic characters make the scares powerfully effective. Especially when one notices the genre aesthetics of both found-footage and mockumentary being increasingly incongruous as the film reaches the second half. With the use of infrared, non-diegetic sounds, handheld camerawork, copious amounts of blood and gore, recognisable moments of hysteria, elongated moments of silence followed by loud jolts etc it does not sound all that innovative. The physicality she undergoes must not have been easy (which consisted of weight loss, stunt choreography involving contortionism etc.) but Gulmongkolpech pulls it all off convincingly.Īs for delivering the scares, the tricks are nothing new. Her performance as Mink is amazingly transformative as she undergoes through many facades that come off as childlike, promiscuous, distraught, tenacious, feral and downright frightening. ![]() Which goes into the fantastic performance from Gulmongkolpech. ![]() But Pisanthanakun and Na do not make their character arc an easy feat (as well as all the characters), the two never shy away from the brutality and darkness of the situation as they explore themes of self-harm, animal cruelty, family incest, religious self-doubt and even cannibalism. Whenever a scary set-piece happens, her presence assures a sense of calm and it makes her a great protagonist. Utoomma underplays her role of Nim that she makes the audience at ease whenever she shows up because of her innate sense of control. The main characters in the story are Nim and Mink and even within the confines of the mockumentary format, they are memorable and easy to root for because they are portrayed remarkably well by Utoomma and Gulmongkolpech. shamanism), the place of gender roles in the world (the men in a family bloodline die in result of the consequences of their own actions while the women are always destined to be of subservience). With its plentiful room in its long runtime (just over two hours), Pisanthanakun establishes his characters and conflicts with efficiency and ease notably conflicting views on religion (Catholicism vs. While the film lacks originality within its confines of the found-footage/mockumentary format, The Medium succeeds in delivering the punchy scares and heart-curdling suspense that audiences strive for. Does The Medium live up to those expectations? With such talents collaborating, expectations are understandably high. The film started off in development as a sequel to The Wailing following the shaman character but it became The Medium once the filmmakers came to realize the many striking similarities of shamanism in their native countries. The Medium is a Thai-South Korea Pan-Asian co-production led by the filmmakers of the acclaimed hits The Wailing (from co-writer/producer Na Hong-jin) and Shutter (from co-writer/director Banjong Pisanthanakun). But through thorough investigation, the more the crew and Nim begin to realize that Mink may be possessed by something else entirely. She discovers that her niece Mink ( Narilya Gulmongkolpech), a happy-go-lucky recruitment officer who does not believe in shamanism, has been exhibiting strange behaviours that may hint that she may be possessed. Being possessed by Ba Yan meant that you were chosen to be a medium for her. She claims that she was possessed by the spirit of Ba Yan, a deity that the people of Isan worship and a significant presence in Nim’s family as she has been possessing the women there for generations. The Medium tells the story of a Thai documentary team who are travelling to the region of Isan to follow the life of the local medium Nim ( Sawanee Utoomma). |
