![]() What changes will Valofe bring to Bless Unleashed PC?Valofe has recently announced that they will be taking over the Bless Unleashed PC service from Neowiz.With this change in management, many players are wondering what changes will be made to the popular MMO game.One significant change that players can expect is a greater focus on community engagement.Valofe has a strong reputation for working closely with their player base to improve the gaming experience. ![]() Neowiz has stated that all data will be safely transferred to Valofe's servers.Additionally, Valofe has a good reputation for maintaining security and privacy of user data.Overall, the transfer of Bless Unleashed PC service to Valofe may seem like a drastic move, but it's one that Neowiz believes will be for the better.Time will tell if this decision pays off, but players can expect exciting changes and improvements in the game's future. With that being said, the transfer of the PC service to Valofe is primarily a strategic move.Neowiz believes that Valofe is better equipped to handle the service and bring about positive changes that players have been asking for.Neowiz hopes that players will be able to enjoy the game to the fullest with Valofe taking over the service.Benefits of the transfer: Concerns of players: Potential improvement in game stability Introduction of new content Better communication with players Fear of losing progress in the game Concerns over security of personal data Potential changes to in-game purchases and economy Players who are worried about the transfer should rest assured that their progress in the game will not be affected. However, it came as a shock when Neowiz announced their decision to transfer the service to Valofe.The question on everyone's mind is, why?Firstly, it's important to note that Bless Unleashed is actually a free-to-play MMORPG that was developed by Neowiz.Although the game has received positive reviews, it has also faced some criticism due to technical issues and bugs.Neowiz acknowledged these problems and has been working to address them. If I see lazy code that allows players to cheat by just editing their INI files again than nope no money for Neowiz, if I see these same cheaters live streaming themselves cheating and not even trying to hide it not get punished again than nope no money for Neowiz, if I see game breaking bugs in this game like the thousands that were in bless online (like the one that would randomly delete your characters from your account after a server maintenance) than nope no money for Neowiz, if I see people sending in tickets legit tickets reporting bugs or needing help because a bug permanently broke their account and Neowiz ignoring these tickets forever like they did with bless online than nope no money for Neowiz, if I see them suddenly announcing there working on the next Bless clone for X console or region like they did the day they released bless online and stating that they won't abandon development of the MMORPG they just released than nope no money for Neowiz.Neowiz will transfer service and development of Bless Unleashed PC over to Valofe on January 26ĭear visitors,Exciting news for Bless Unleashed PC players! In a recent announcement, it was revealed that the service for Bless Unleashed PC will be transferred from Neowiz to Valofe Global Ltd.This change is scheduled to take place in the coming months and will bring about several developments for the game.In this blog post, we'll discuss why Neowiz is transferring service, what changes players can expect to see with Valofe at the helm, and how this transfer may affect you as a player.Let's dive in!Why Neowiz is transferring Bless Unleashed PC service?Bless Unleashed PC has been a popular game among players for quite some time now. ![]() But in no way am I giving Neowiz a penny until I see hard proof that they've changed. ![]()

We must also realize, that when a two port is connected in such a way that it has external load and source impedances, its input and output reflection coefficients change from s11 and s22 ( in terms of s parameters) to TIN and TOUT. (Techniques to stablize an amplifier are discussed in a companion article to be published). Thus, to stabilize an amplifier, for example, we first need to find out what the type a terminations are, and then use a circuit to change the behavior of the amplifier from unstable to stable. Type c terminations are borderline terminations. ![]() A third type of termination is also defined. Lets call the terminations that cause reflection coefficients to become 1, type a terminations and terminations that keep the reflection coefficients under 1, type b terminations. If a two port has been found to be potentially unstable then:ġ.0 There are some source terminations that cause the output reflection coefficient to become greater than 1.Ģ.0 There are also some output terminations that cause the input reflection coeffcient to become greater than 1. To stabilize a virtual or actual two port, we need to investigate what types of termination can result in instability or oscillation. Usually this is the most useful analysis for amplifiers and related circuits. In this monograph, we will focus on two ports and stability circles relating to two ports. Where ZL is the impedance towards the load and ZS is the impedance towards the source.Īnother quantity that is useful in analysis is the Return Loss which is simply the magnitude of the reflection coefficient in dB.įor more on this and related topics please read the book: “Practical Impedance Matching“ by Ain Rehman, published by Amazon. If the source and load impedances are known then the reflection coeffcient can be written as: Reflection coefficient in terms of impedances. Where ρ is the magnitude of the reflection coefficient. The voltage standing wave ratio is given in terms of the reflection coefficient as: Г = +1 (maximum positive reflection line is open circuit at the load). Г = 0 (no reflection from the load and the two port is perfectly matched to the load), Г = -1 (maximum negative reflection, when the line is short circuited at its end.), In the simplest cases where the imaginary part of the reflection coefficient is zero, Г is a complex number and is described by its magnitude and phase angle. Here Vt is the transmitted signal and Vr is the reflected signal from the load. To recap some basic quantities we note that the reflection coefficient is given by: We limit the stability circle tool description to a two port device. It is understood that many CAD programs can generate these, but it is always useful to understand the stability circle on an intuitive level as a good engineering practice. This monograph presents the stability circle tool for engineers. (Note: A free, demo version of smith chart software is available on the web from Fritz Dellsperger). Stability circles are a tool, used to examine and analyze the stability of an amplifier (in the case under discussion) using a graphical technique, with the help of a Smith Chart. ![]() ![]() ![]() With characteristic humor, Diogenes dismissed his ill fortune by saying, "If Manes can live without Diogenes, why not Diogenes without Manes?" Diogenes would mock such a relation of extreme dependency. Diogenes arrived in Athens with a slave named Manes who escaped from him shortly thereafter. He argued that instead of being troubled about the true nature of evil, people merely rely on customary interpretations. He traveled to Athens and made it his life's goal to challenge established customs and values. Following the debacle in Sinope, Diogenes decided that the oracle meant that he should deface the political currency rather than actual coins. Sinope was being disputed between pro- Persian and pro- Greek factions in the 4th century, and there may have been political rather than financial motives behind the act.ĭiogenes Sitting in His Tub by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1860)Īccording to one story, Diogenes went to the Oracle at Delphi to ask for her advice and was told that he should "deface the currency". The coins were deliberately defaced in order to render them worthless as legal tender. ![]() During this time there was much counterfeit money circulating in Sinope. This aspect of the story seems to be corroborated by archaeology: large numbers of defaced coins (smashed with a large chisel stamp) have been discovered at Sinope dating from the middle of the 4th century BC, and other coins of the time bear the name of Hicesias as the official who minted them. It seems likely that Diogenes was also enrolled into the banking business aiding his father.Īt some point (the exact date is unknown), Hicesias and Diogenes became involved in a scandal involving the adulteration or debasement of the currency, and Diogenes was exiled from the city and lost his citizenship and all his material possessions. Nothing is known about Diogenes's early life except that his father, Hicesias, was a banker. Diogenes was also noted for having mocked Alexander the Great, both in public and to his face when he visited Corinth in 336 BC. He criticized Plato, disputed his interpretation of Socrates, and sabotaged his lectures, sometimes distracting listeners by bringing food and eating during the discussions. He became notorious for his philosophical stunts, such as carrying a lamp during the day, claiming to be looking for a "man" (often rendered in English as "looking for an honest man"). He modeled himself on the example of Heracles, believing that virtue was better revealed in action than in theory. He declared himself a cosmopolitan and a citizen of the world rather than claiming allegiance to just one place. He had a reputation for sleeping and eating wherever he chose in a highly non-traditional fashion and took to toughening himself against nature. He used his simple lifestyle and behavior to criticize the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt, confused society. He begged for a living and often slept in a large ceramic jar, or pithos, in the marketplace. No writings of Diogenes survive, but there are some details of his life from anecdotes ( chreia), especially from Diogenes Laërtius' book Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers and some other sources. There he passed his philosophy of Cynicism to Crates, who taught it to Zeno of Citium, who fashioned it into the school of Stoicism, one of the most enduring schools of Greek philosophy. Diogenes was captured by pirates and sold into slavery, eventually settling in Corinth. There are many tales about him following Antisthenes and becoming his "faithful hound". After his hasty departure from Sinope he moved to Athens where he proceeded to criticize many conventions of Athens of that day. He was the son of the mintmaster of Sinope, and there is some debate as to whether or not he alone had debased the Sinopian currency, whether his father had done this, or whether they had both done it. He was allegedly banished, or fled from, Sinope for debasement of currency. He was born in Sinope, an Ionian colony on the Black Sea coast of Anatolia in 412 or 404 BC and died at Corinth in 323 BC. Diogenes ( / d aɪ ˈ ɒ dʒ ɪ n iː z/ dy- OJ-in-eez Ancient Greek: Διογένης, romanized: Diogénēs ), also known as Diogenes the Cynic ( Διογένης ὁ Κυνικός, Diogénēs ho Kynikós) or Diogenes of Sinope, was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynicism. ![]() ![]() ![]() You are heavy metal roadie Eddie Riggs, hurled back in time to the mythical Age of Metal when the world was formed and ruled by the power of Rock!

Seeds contain all the nutrients they need to germinate, so there's no need to use a growing medium that has been enriched with nutrients. Try making your own containers out of recycled yogurt cups or egg cartons. You can grow them all together in an open flat, or choose individual seed containers. Each seed will need 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of space to germinate and take root. To get ready for planting seeds, you'll need the following supplies: When the seeds sprout and grow into plants, they'll have more specific needs in terms of soil, sun, and temperature conditions. Most seeds need similar growing conditions when they're first starting out. Always research your specific seed and plant to understand how best to start it. Some seeds should be planted directly in the soil outside.Even if you live in a cold area, you'll need to plan ahead to make sure you start your seeds in time for the growing season. If you are starting seeds indoors, you should keep in mind that most vegetable seeds need to be started at least two weeks before the last frost, and some as early as 2-3 months before the last frost. ![]() Starting seeds too early or late can prevent germination from occurring, so it's important to figure out the right time to plant to ensure success.Check your seed packet for information on how early to start your seeds. If you live in a place that warms up early in the year, you can probably start earlier. If you live in a place with long, cold winters, you may need to wait until mid-Spring to plant your seeds.
