![]() ![]() Take out all of them using silenced ammo. From there, tag the two soldiers on the bridge, the soldier manning the mounted machine gun next to the fort’s entrance and the search-light. Cross the road and sneak through the hole in the fence and into the high grass above. The shed is situated right where the dirt road leads into the village. Move on towards the harbor fort and take out the mechanic and the soldier in the shed.īy that time, Kraus should be dropping dead.Īnd on to the next objective… Silencing Radio Communications And Getting Part I Of The Scuttle Code There’s an officer there that will drop some nice loot. Climb through another window and sneak down the stairs. Get out through the window and jump to the next roof. Once that is done, ring the bell next to it and make your getaway through the bathroom on your left. Move to the front of the first floor and find a balcony, where a cup of wine is waiting for your poison. You will overhear Kraus asking a soldier to get him a bottle of wine. Wait for an opportune moment to do just that, then, once Karl is hanging from the ledge, use the Jump-command to have him climb into the first-storey window. Next to it you will be able to climb down and get into the building Kraus in in. There is a small archway and opposite it you will spot a generator. Get out via the back window and down into the small courtyard. Sneak over there then tag the soldiers patrolling below you. There is a balcony connecting this building to the next. Sneak up there and restock on ammo and whatever you need, but especially the satchel bombs. To your left, you will spot a way up to the first floor of the next building. Either way, you need to get to the back of the house. Sneak past him up the stairs into the building he is guarding or move past it. There is another guard you will have to look out for. Next, head back the way you came towards the stairs leading up to the next row of buildings. Sneak past the guard patrolling there and pick up that vial. In its storage room you will find a vial of poison. The first building on the waterfront is a restaurant. Tag any enemy inside the village you can see. Once an opportune moment arrives, sneak along the right side of the beach, taking advantage of the high grass to grant you cover. Especially the one patrolling to the right, towards the small village. There are three in the vicinity that you have to keep an eye one. Once the submarine is destroyed, quickly make your way out of the cave and left into the high grass on the beach, from where you can leisurely tag various soldiers hanging around the area. That’s your first obtional objective taken care of. You can shoot a fuel tank to sink it, but best also use silenced ammo, as there is a gun boat patrolling the waters nearby. As you scan the area with your binoculars, you will also discover a docked u-boat. There is a sniper guarding it from atop a tower. Once you arrive at the initial starting point, you will catch a first glimpse of the harbor fort on the other side of the cove. This one was a smooth operation since I never had to go back to any of the major locations. There, you can either sabotage the live rounds or pick up a crowbar in the back of the installation to take out the generators one level down. Once you reach the end of the tunnel, head up the ladder and climb the face of the structure to get to where the guns are. You will find an entrance to the left, where you can infiltrate underground. To get there, sneak across the beach ahead, take out the sniper and find your way left around the mountain the guns are placed on. You will find one inside the installation. In case that you are as impatient as I was in the beginning, there are the two alternative ways of disabling the guns. If you want to do this super stealthy, you will want the Nazis to scuttle the guns for you. That is a reasonable choice, and you will have two ways of doing that. Karl in front of Mont-Saint-Denis in Normandy, France, 1944.A susccessful start to this mission… One Smooth Operationĭuring my previous playthoughs I always opted for taking out the main guns first – after I had sunk the docked submarine, which is your optional objective number one.

![]() The “moonrise” code in module sunCalc seems less than perfect so although I added the moonrise and moonset properties in 2.1.3 BigTimer, there were issues resolved in moonrise and moonset (from version 2.17 on) thanks to adding my own checking to the sunCalc module. Second function node: if (msg.state="off") Įasy – I have a ton of variations on that for different scenarios.īack in February 2018 I added moonrise and moonset – as well as improving the layout and docs. Blynk might be controlling the lighting or the grey manual overrides, OR BigTimer may be running a schedule – it is important that all 3 methods are compatible and that they stay in SYNC.įirst function node: if (msg.payload="1") msg.payload="off" Įlse if (msg.payload="2") msg.payload="auto" ![]() Note the Blynk “Write Event” node on the left and the Blynk “Write” node on the right. A simple function node on either side of BigTimer sorts out that problem. ![]() Let me give an example, the segmented switch in BLYNK, assuming 3 outputs for this example – gives and needs values “1”, “2” and “3” – which I use for “off” “auto” and “on” states in BigTimer. I’ve had the odd comment about BigTimer not giving the output someone wants… if the msg.payload from output 1 isn’t what you need, change it. There is also real-time status information displayed below each BigTimer node.Īs always, the latest node-red-contrib-bigtimer is available at node-red-flows and at – put “scargill” in the search and you’ll see all my nodes and flows. The third output presents a message which could be used for speech or debugging. The second of three outputs offers a simple 1 or 0 every minute in the output “payload” and also presents additional information reflecting the status message in msg.state, message.time and others – see the entire msg object output in debug for more. You can also manually over-ride the UTC time setting on the host computer if required. The node offers outputs suitable for MQTT, speech and databases (but you don’t HAVE to use any of these). Full support is provided for dusk/sunset dawn/sunrise and variations also for day/week/month (and special days) control.īigTimer has three outputs, the first of which updates when there is a change of state and presents one of two messages (for, for example, MQTT or other control mechanism) ON and OFF TEXT fields are optional – for speech or whatever use you have in mind.īigTimers can be used singly or in groups. The MQTT-compatible payload (ON and OFF msg) is the main output and you should put a value in there even if not using MQTT. If you need something to happen at or near midnight – I’ve now added a DAY END option to the OFF dropdown boxes – equating to 23:59 or one minute before “midnight” (the latter is in fact is the beginning of the next day).Īt it’s simplest, BigTimer is a single block which can be used as the equivalent of a simple mechanical timer, seeding other Node-Red nodes or directly manipulating devices by, for example, MQTT protocol. The panel on the right is quite out of date now with many additional items in the actual panel.įor clarity: BigTimer works in minutes – in a DAY which consists of hours and minutes 00:00 to 23:59, where minute 1439 is the last minute of the day – that is why there is no MIDNIGHT in the settings. In version 2.5.0 I added separate on-off randomisation options. I do not plan to spend any more time hunting through Node-Red forums for BigTimer queries, sorry… and the source is NOT in GITHUB – you have the full source when you have BigTimer itself – the whole thing is only 2 files (a. V2.8.1 fixed bug introduced in 2.8.0 to 2nd output payload. Also, one helpful blog subscriber pointed out an issue – special day included – month 9 was faulty – fixed – many thanks to everyone for you feedback on this very popular timer). Update February 2023įixed a mistake in the July-December exclusion months Update January 9, 2022Īdded new “away” command – in minutes for now (away X) which can be as long as you like and will hold the first output off until you clear it with (away 0) or it runs out – this should be fully tested before deploying and you MUST have “repeat” ticked in the dialog for this to work. I’m currently pondering how to add winter and summer options for on-off times without making the setup page more cluttered – ideas welcome. ![]() Questions about BigTimer should be placed in the comments section here. BigTimer is my own creation and is (IMHO) the most powerful and best-ever, most comprehensive timing node for Node-Red, providing a general purpose timer as well as handling summer/winter correctly as well as (importantly) lighting-up time (for which you should provide your longitude and latitude from Google maps or similar). ![]() Rowling has written these great books about empowerment, about young children finding themselves as human beings.

Last summer, notable philosopher and gender theorist expert Judith Butler spoke with another UK publication, the New Statesman, about the going conversation around Rowling and people's reactions to her statements. Rowling attends the 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' World Premiere at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center in New York on November 10, 2016. "Rowling's claims are not only unsupported by data, but perpetuate dangerous myths about trans people that can inhibit their access to life-saving care," Insider's health reporters Anna Medaris Miller Canela López wrote last summer. Last year, Rowling's pattern of supporting trans-exclusionary radical feminists came to a head when she published a lengthy essay about her beliefs (many of which were not supported by science) when it came to transgender people. "I find the level of hatred that people express about views that differ from theirs, and the violence of language towards others, disturbing." "I can understand the heat of an argument, but I find this age of accusation and the need to condemn irrational," the Lord Voldemort actor said. In a new profile from UK publication the Telegraph, Fiennes said he can't "understand the vitriol directed at her." Rowling and the debate around her transphobic personal views.

The zoologist concludes that whale, bat and man evolved from a common ancestor” (p. But the bones of these structures reveal an essential similarity of design. Writing in Scientific American in 1958 2, Lorenz begins with a familiar discussion of the evolution of forelimbs: “A whale's flipper, a bat's wing and a man's arm are as different from one another in outward appearance as they are in the functions they serve. Lorenz aimed to do for behavior what Charles Darwin's evolutionary insights did for bones. In 1973, the young science of ethology received a significant vote of approval when three of its founders-Lorenz, Niko Tinbergen, and Karl von Frisch-received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. One of the founders of ethology, Konrad Lorenz, popularized this new discipline for the general public with his many famous images of “imprinted” ducklings walking behind the bearded Austrian as if he were their mother. Ethology is a subdiscipline of zoology devoted to understanding behavior in its natural context. The modern study of instinct began in the 1930s with the emergence of ethology. As Patrick Bateson 1 has pointed out, this conceptual confusion about instinct is reflected in the many meanings that are routinely ascribed to it, including: The more we dive into these matters, the harder it is to settle on any clear notion of what an instinct actually is. ![]() Scratch the surface of any complex, adaptive behavior and one is confronted with a seemingly endless array of hard questions spanning evolutionary and developmental time, the intricacies of ecological and social experience, and the machinations of the nervous system with its billions of neurons. Such labels may seem gratifying, but it is an illusory gratification. How do birds know to migrate south for the winter? How do border collies know to herd sheep? How do sea turtles find their way back home to the beach on which they hatched?

Though effective and fast, usually working within minutes of application, acids emit harsh chemical fumes, so you must use them in an outdoor or well-ventilated space and wear protective gear (goggles, face mask or respirator, and rubber gloves).Īcids also incur the risk of surface damage due to corrosiveness. The typical percentage of acid in a rust remover is about 30 percent-the maximum amount that can dissolve in water and serve as a cleaning agent. This category includes nitric acid, acetic acid (white vinegar), phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, muriatic acid, oxalic acid, and citric acid. ![]() Here are the major types of rust removers and general guidelines for using them. The most common methods involve commercial-grade chemicals that eat away at rust buildup and stains, like acids and petroleum-based solvents. ![]() The best way to remove rust will vary depending on the type of material you’re working with, but if you start with the correct type of rust remover, you’re bound to get great results. Rust removers aren’t good for delicates like wool or silk, but for most other surfaces, you’ll find your solution below. Rust stains are difficult to remove because of their bright color and stubborn resistance to typical cleaners like bleach and soap, which is why we’ve rounded up our top picks for the best rust removers on the market. When iron molecules are oxidized, they form an orangey-red residue (rust) on any surface containing-or in contact with-iron, including clothes, tools, household faucets, shower caddies, and the chrome fixtures on cars and bicycles. Basically, iron corrodes when it is exposed to oxygen and moisture (water or humidity), the technical term for the process being oxidation.
