^ a b "Everblue 2 for PlayStation 2 Reviews".Over time the player unlocks dive sites such as a sunken freighter, a downed airplane, a pirate ship, a sunken luxury liner, a submarine and an undersea temple. This money can be used to buy equipment allowing a player access to deeper and more challenging dives. Their ship sinks in a huge storm and they swim to a nearby island. The player, Leo, earns money by finding precious materials with their metal, glass, wood, clay, and stone sonars, and looting artifacts from shipwrecks. Everblue 2 is a scuba diving adventure game developed by Arika and published by Capcom. Leo returns to the island as a hero, but his adventures as a diver may just be starting. Leo eventually ventures to the sunken submarine to recover the Erebos and is successful in returning it to Telospolis, calming the oceans. At this point the ocean begins to turn stormy as the power of Erebos runs out of control. The search is cut short when it is discovered that SeaDross has discovered Erebos in Telospolis, however, they failed to realize the malevolent powers contained within the relic causing their submarine (and Erebos) to sink to the ocean depths. Leo and his friends race against time to locate the Erebos, diving to several underwater locations including: a sunken Ferry, a crashed 747, an old cruise ship, a pirate Galleon and an ancient underwater city called Telospolis. It is published by Nintendo and was developed by Arika, who also worked on their spiritual predecessor Everblue, another scuba diving adventure game. While on the island, Leo and the Amigos discover that a nefarious aquatic salvaging company named SeaDross is searching for an ancient pirate treasure called Erebos. Endless Ocean (known as Forever Blue in Japan) is a scuba diving adventure game for the Wii. There, they meet a group of scuba divers called The Amigos. Leo is a diver who sails through a fictional treacherous Caribbean sea with his friends. The game was also released in North America (with the title still indicating it's a sequel), while the first game was not. ![]() Arika, the developers of both games, followed it with the spiritual sequel Endless Ocean, for the Wii. The maritime app Marine Traffic showed it in the Red Sea on Monday night, headed toward the Suez once again.Everblue 2 ( エバーブルー2, Ebāburū Tsū) is a scuba diving adventure game. Since then, however, the Ever Given has managed to get through the canal without getting stuck. The vessel was trapped from 23 to 29 March. The effort to rescue the Ever Given, which weighs 220,000 metric tons, required dredging 30,000 cubic meters of sand, with the help of 13 tugboats and a rising tide. “Everything like this is kind of its own beast,” the coastguard petty officer Steven Lehmann told the Baltimore Sun. The ship needs water at least 43ft deep to move, but it was stuck in an area that was just 25ft deep. Other ships in the area were told to slow down and use a one-way traffic pattern. “Efforts have been under way since last night to try and free the ship and will continue today.” The Ever Forward’s grounding, on the other hand, was “not preventing other ships from transiting to the Port of Baltimore”, said William P Doyle, the executive director of the Maryland Port Association, to Bloomberg in a statement on Monday. The Ever Given’s plight caused headaches for more than 400 waiting vessels, costing global trade $6bn to $10bn a day, according to a study. ![]() Photograph: Marine Trafficīut the smaller ship’s grounding is unlikely to cause as much trouble as last year’s crisis. The Marine Traffic app listed the ship as ‘aground’. Once pounded, the pork is marinated in a blitzed mixture of milk, onion, garlic powder and salt to season and help further tenderise the meat before it is dredged in flour, beaten eggs and panko breadcrumbs in preparation for frying. She also strongly suggests following the recipe steps precisely to recreate the dish exactly as it was when she first experienced it. To tenderise the meat, Scott recommends using a meat mallet or a needle-bladed tenderiser to flatten the pork, though a rolling pin or the back of a knife can be used. Although the pork needs to be deep-fried, it takes just four minutes to cook once marinated for 30 minutes in the fridge. Scott's thinner version of the old-school pork cutlet recipe is a fairly simple, deeply comforting dish. But today, two versions of donkkaseu are eaten throughout South Korea – the thin cutlet popularised by the spread of gyeongyangsik restaurants, and a thicker version introduced by American soldiers during the 1980s, following the Korean War. At the time, the dish was enjoyed exclusively by wealthy people in Korea pork was expensive, as was the vast amount of oil needed to fry the cutlet. It is believed that donkkaseu is heavily inspired by European classics such as Italian veal Milanese, French escalope and Austrian and German schnitzel. One of those dishes is donkkaseu, which was first brought to Korea during the Japanese occupation in the 1930s. ![]() Scott added, "I wanted to celebrate how food can connect the small pieces together to make us feel whole." In Rice Table, Scott outlines a series of recipes known commonly as bapsang, representing what she describes as a "very ordinary spread of daily home-cooked meals that sustain us". It was only through cooking the dishes of my own childhood I was able to reconnect and rebuild my Korean heritage.” "In the process, I had lost all that makes me Korean, including my ability to speak my mother tongue fluently. "I was too busy and too eager to integrate make a new home for myself in the city that I madly fell in love with," Scott explained. When writing, she drew inspiration from donkkaseu and other dishes from her childhood. Rice Table came about as a result of Scott's identity issues with the heavy responsibility of being the sole bearer of Korean culture and heritage to her half-Korean, half-British daughter. The recipe was very personal to me, carrying so many layers of emotion, which eventually became the reason and motivation to further explore my heritage through memories of taste," said Scott. It was the dish that first brought me back the taste of home that I really missed. "At the time, I was struggling with identity crisis and recovering from post-natal depression after the birth of my daughter. The rustic, spicy stew, typically made with pork belly, tofu and kimchi, was voted Best Readers' Recipe by The Observer's food magazine. Scott's food career began after moving to London in 2000 when she was 19, but it really took off after winning an Observer Food Monthly Award in 2019 for a recipe based on her mother's kimchi jjigae. Scott shares a recipe for her take on the dish, called Old-School Pork Cutlet, in her cookbook. ![]() "The strong memories of the restaurant and how it made me feel at the time stayed with me but sadly, the place no longer exists."ĭonkkaseu is still served in restaurants around South Korea, but it's also easy to make at home. "The place always felt so special to me as it was the very first time I'd experienced something entirely new," said Scott. It was at one special gyeongyangsik where Scott had that memorable first bite of the crispy pork cutlet. These restaurants, which were popular in the 1970s and 1980s, served Korean food with Western twists dishes were eaten with a knife and fork as opposed to chopsticks. Scott first tried donkkaseu as a child in Seoul, where her family enjoyed weekend dinners at gyeongyangsiks. ![]() The fried pork shared the plate with cold macaroni salad and shredded cabbage swirled with vinegary ketchup and mayonnaise. Scott remembers her first donkkaseu being blanketed under "thick, rich brown sauce" which, she writes is "loosely based on demi-glace”, a reduction of beef or veal stock used as the base of countless French sauces, with a perfect touch of acidity. Su Scott, author of the recently published cookbook, Rice Table: Korean Recipes and Stories to Feed the Soul, fondly remembers her first taste of donkkaseu, a thin slice of lean pork, typically cut from the loin, breaded and plunged into seething hot oil until golden and crunchy, then drizzled with a brown sauce similar to thick gravy.ĭonkkaseu is often compared to Japanese tonkatsu, a panko-coated pork cutlet that's served sliced, though the Korean version is served whole.
Indirect IM (also called impression management by association) refers to “behaviors undertaken by individuals at work through associations with other colleagues to create favorable impressions of themselves” ( Cialdini and Richardson, 1980). Direct IM refers to “individuals self-promoting their own achievements and success” ( Tal-Or and Drukman, 2010). A better understanding of the mechanism linking IM and the career-related outcomes requires distinguishing between different IM types, as different IM mechanisms might lead to different career outcomes.įirst, IM may depend on the mechanism used, creating favorable impressions through two different types: direct and indirect IM. In this vein, individuals using IM have higher chances of getting positive job interview ratings ( Amaral et al., 2019). For example, developing a resume and showing daily achievements online are unavoidable tools to enhance our career ( El Ouirdi et al., 2015). Amongst other tools, IM has revolutionized career development, offering competitive and sustainable career opportunities ( Villeda and McCamey, 2019). IM is of primary importance for individuals, since the impressions they make on others influences how others perceive and treat them ( Bozeman and Kacmar, 1997 Gioaba and Krings, 2017). IM can be defined as the process by which “individuals attempt to control the impressions others form of them” ( Leary and Kowalski, 1990). In recent years, impression management (IM) has received renewed attention among scholars (e.g., Liu et al., 2019 Yang et al., 2021). This study thus provides evidence of the need to investigate and differentiate between the different types of IM and interaction modes for career-related outcomes, highlighting some research gaps and directions for future inquiry. The review shows that direct IM is more widely studied in the face-to-face than online interaction mode, while indirect IM is neglected in both interaction modes. online) in a career development perspective. indirect) and modes of interaction (face-to-face vs. Accordingly, this study presents the first systematic literature review that differentiates between types of IM (direct vs. Indeed, recent developments suggest that online interactions now prevail over face-to-face interactions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]() While most empirical studies focus on direct IM, individuals engage in both types of IM and interaction modes, particularly indirect IM in the online context. 2Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, Pau, Franceĭespite the popularity of the term impression management (IM) in the literature, there is no consensus as how different types of IM (direct vs.1Kedge Business School, Talence, France. ![]() But that's the fun in a summer disaster flick.

Tishman Speyer will announce additional details about Top of the Rock, including opening dates for the new attractions, in the coming months, so stay tuned.Skyscraper is not quite Die Hard meets The Towering Inferno. Starting October 21 One Vanderbilt will open Summit, an experience and ride that takes visitors up at least 1,000 feet in the air.

"As we reimagine the Top of the Rock experience, our aim is to restore the original historical intent of the observation deck. "We are doubling down on Rockefeller Center as a beacon of New York's bright future," a spokesperson for Tishman Speyer says. There'd also be an installation called "Beacon," which would be a moving globe with audio-visual capabilities and a celestial floor mosaic that echoes the artwork throughout Rockefeller Center. Right now, an out-of-commission radar and antenna masts are taking up space there. On the 70th floor would be "Top of the Top," a new infinity observation deck giving those sweeping 360-degree views. The experience would have a rotating beam-like structure that visitors could sit on, strap in, and ride upward to above the 69th floor to recreate the famous photo. Under the proposal, owner Tishman Speyer would add a ride-like experience called "Lunch Atop A Skyscraper," taking inspiration from the iconic 1932 photo of 11 ironworkers eating on a steel beam during the construction of Rockefeller Center. ![]() RECOMMENDED: You'll be able to take a glass elevator to the top of a 1,401-foot skyscraper this fall The plan, which is going before the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday, proposes a series of enhancements to the Top of the Rock experience, "which harken back to the history of the observation deck, continue to write the story of Rockefeller Center, and provide a new and unique perspective of the city."

Must use an FM signal, pick a heavy-metal station “since heavy metal is closer to white noise.”) The second reason is that pointing a directional antenna away from the reference source means that it’s less likely to be swamped by the reference signal. First, while the KrakenSDR can work with many signals including FM radio or cell-tower transmissions, digital TV signals are best to work with because they are fairly evenly distributed across the channel’s broadcast band, unlike the narrower and more variable signals from an FM station. The radio’s manufacturer, KrakenRF, recommends directional Yagi TV antennas for two reasons. The next step was to get suitable antennas. Normally,Īn amateur looking to do direction finding would have to wave around a directional antenna, something difficult to do while, for example, driving a car.īut it was the KrakenSDR’s ability to do passive radar that really caught my eye as a new capability in lowish-cost radio tech, so I plonked down the money. What that means is that, for example, you can arrange five omnidirectional antennas in a circle, and do radio direction finding by looking at when a transmission arrives at each antenna. ![]() The Pi is connected to the SDR via a data link, and in turn the SDR is connected via coaxial cables to two directional TV antennas. It’s receive only, but it boasts not one or two tuners, but five! The tuners are based on the RTL R820T2/R860 chip, and they are combined with hardware that can automatically do coherence synchronization among them.īoth the KrakenRF SDR and the Raspberry Pi 4 require a fair amount of power via USB C cables, so a battery pack is needed for mobile operation. ![]() I was researching diving back into SDR with one of these devices when I spotted the CrowdSupply campaign for the US $399 Some of these new SDRs can transmit as well as receive, such as the HackRF One or Lime Mini. This includes RTLx-based USB sticks built with better supporting components and designs versus the original TV tuners, and completely new receivers such as the RSPDx. Building off the demand stimulated by this activity, a number of manufacturers have started making premium, but still relatively cheap, SDRs. An explosion of interest in SDRs followed. The biggest leap forward happened in 2012 when it was discovered that USB stick TV tuners using the RTL2832U demodulator chip could be tapped to make very cheap but effective SDR receivers. IEEE Spectrum since 2006, when SDR became something remotely within a maker’s budget. I’ve checked in with amateur SDR developments for I was interested in passive radar because I wanted to put a new software-defined radio (SDR) through its paces. Frequency shifts indicate the object’s speed via the Doppler effect. If a reflection from an object is detected, then the time it took to arrive at the surveillance antenna gives a range. The reference and surveillance signals are compared. A reference antenna picks up a signal from, say, a cell tower, while a surveillance antenna is tuned to the same frequency. Passive radar doesn’t send out pulses of its own and watch for reflections. But for once, I realized I could use this kaleidoscope of electromagnetism to my advantage-with a passive radar station. Radio interference plagues the metropolis. If we could see and hear radio waves, it would make an EDM rave feel like a sensory deprivation tank. Normally, when it comes to radio-related projects, my home of New York City is a terrible place to be. ![]() Very wide falling wedges give better performance than narrow falling wedges.įor your information: A falling wedge is a reversal chart pattern. The break out point (exit) generally occurs at 60% of the length of the falling wedge. Pullbacks are detrimental to the pattern’s performance. Retracements are generally twice as fast as the falling wedge was in its formation Exploiting a false bullish break is therefore statistically low risk. If a false bullish break occurs, the exit will be downwards in only 3% of cases. False breaks (or false exits) give an indication of the direction of exit. The steeper the falling wedge’s trend lines (falling strongly), the more severe the upward movement is at the breakout (exit from the chart pattern). The contact points on the falling lines must be significant because otherwise it might be a flag. In 27% of cases, false breaks (false exits) appear. In 53% of cases, the price makes a support pullback on the falling wedge’s resistance line. In 63% of cases, the pattern’s price objective is achieved when the resistance line is broken. ![]() In 55% of cases, a falling wedge is a reversal pattern. Graphical representation of a falling wedge Falling wedge statistics NB: it is often observed that the steeper the falling wedge’s trend lines, the faster the price objective is reached. The price objective is determined by the highest point that caused the wedge to form. ![]() This break out is generally accompanied by high volumes. The movement then has almost no selling force, which brings about a bullish reversal.Ī break of the resistance line definitively validates the pattern. Volumes are then at their lowest point and decrease as the waves increase. Falling Wedge Pattern: Conversely, the falling wedge exhibits a downward-sloping upper resistance line and a steeper downward-sloping lower support line. A third wave is then formed thereafter but prices fall less and less in contact with the resistance. A second wave of decline then occurs, but of a lesser magnitude, signalling an inadequacy of sellers. The highest point reached during the first correction on the falling wedge’s resistance line forms the resistance. Sellers are finding it increasingly difficult to bring the price under the resistance line. The convergence of the two lines in the same direction (a decrease in price magnitude) tells us that prices continue to fall with lower and lower movement magnitude. This implies that the rising wedge pattern is considered valid if the price touches the support line at least 3 times and the resistance line twice (or the support line at least twice and the resistance line 3 times).Ī rising wedge marks the exhaustion of the selling trend. NB: a line is said to be "valid" if the price line touches the support or resistance at least 3 times. The upper line is the resistance line the lower line is the support line.Įach of these lines must have been touched at least twice to validate the pattern. It is formed by two converging bearish lines.Ī falling wedge is confirmed/valid if it has a good oscillation between the two falling straight lines. A falling wedge is a bullish chart pattern (said to be "of reversal"). ![]() Now, we need to double click the VM appliance we just deployed.
