![]() ![]() some sources, and this data can not be directly manipulated by the artist. The way I understand it Terragear will download elevation/terrain data from. What does TerraGear actually do to the scenery and how do I upload that for use in FG. For Windows users I recommend u to use 7zip.Ĥ.1 how to update the model file - just reupload under the same location/name and press. These are in AC or XML format (if I recall correctly), but will often be archived in less known formats such as tar/gz. Yes - it is possible to download models from the database individually. ![]() Is it possible to download a model from FG database to update it? - in the sense that you want to update a file you made, but lost the original work file. Is the offset base only required for slanted terrain? (moved as P1)Ĥ. Check also this thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22078ģ. If your buildings are not very separated one for the other, the terrain in reasonably flat and they make sense as a single object, go for a single object and wait for the feedback from the reviewer. The main reason to submit separated buildings as separated models is to prevent buildings "floating in the air" by letting the automatic tools to calculate the exact elevation of each building. the definition of "groups of buildings" is up to the modeller and the person reviewing your model. "Never group different, detached buildings into a single geometry file." The PNG textures end up being the larger problem in this case, with 0.9 to 1.3 MB per file (day + night tex).Ģ.1 What does placing separate geometries into the same Object mean? E. In my case, the workfile was about 1.3MB, while the exported model was around 130KB, so about 10%. See blue pipes on the power plant model - leaving them detached from the rest of the structure saves the other surfaces from having to be fragmented.Ī cheery note is that files in Blender seem to be much larger than the exported AC file - this means that there is some room for more than basic geometry. watertight, or can we (/must we) delete obscured surfaces?īest practices dictate a model should be a single mesh, but I assume that since multiple buildings can technically be put into a single object and not cause a crash (see M2.1) it should be okay to have a building with loose geometry to save on polycount. I believe the current eiffel tower is purely xml, so I assume the end result is only xml.Ģ. This leaves open the question of whether the XML file is added to the AC model, or the AC model is encoded as XML. You can also use one of the already existing chimneys instead of modeling a new one. As far as i remember, there is a "smoke object" as a shared model you can just put at the same location that your chimney. For example, the smoke effect or day/night textures would be defined in the xml. xml files animate the ac files: movement, night lights. but personally I think every building should have a night version, therefore every model requires it, but it it also possible that the day/night transition are controlled in a different way, and the xml only pertains to animation of geomentry. The upload site page states XML should be included only if the model requires it. ac format?īoth are about the same in upload itself and will work in the game along with a number of other formats. In Windows, the target directory is in /scripts/addons.ġ. This means moving the files from the zip to a particular folder in your Blender directory structure. You will need to install the addons yourself. It took me a while to find the right addon some pages on the wiki still point to the old versions, so I will include both links here: It is free, and incomparable to its 2.79 version. If your scenery seems suspiciously empty, or it seems you are missing models you can try to place the following into the additional commands field in Settings: "-prop:/sim/rendering/static-lod/bare=20000" It's what saved the game from this guy uploading a model which was already made.īeing a Blender user myself it is the software I am most familiar with, and this page will stem from that perspective. Here I aim to list various questions in the same place, which will hopefully help clarify any issues for new modelers. I also have a model of the Eiffel tower, but later found that most of the scenery was not showing due to a bug.Ĭurrently there are a number of issues that keep me from making objects for the game, that I have not seen addressed explicitly. The models that I have made already are Object #3498992 and #3498991. I started with 2019.1.1 but switched to 2018 yesterday as it seems to be more refined, at least while I try to figure the whole thing out. I am a 3D modeler and wanted to make some models for FG. ![]() ![]() ISO 13485 defines the requirements that medical device manufacturers must incorporate into their management systems to ensure compliance in the medical device industry.

![]() ![]() Some Jewish authorities consider these orders extremely problematic, as a patient needing CPR is in acute distress and could be saved, even for a brief period, with proper treatment. DNRs are typically requested by patients who are elderly or are suffering from an advanced terminal illness that makes it unlikely they would survive CPR without a severely diminished condition. Known as DNRs, these are legally binding directives signed by doctors ordering medical professionals to withhold CPR or advanced life support in the event a patient’s heart stops functioning. Many contemporary Jewish authorities argue that Jewish tradition allows a focus on comfort and pain reduction and the eschewing of aggressive medical interventions in certain circumstances. However, not all Jewish authorities agree. ![]() Because hospice focuses on a patient’s quality of life rather than aggressive medical treatment, some Orthodox rabbis do not believe hospice conforms with Jewish tradition. Jewish hospice programs are typically equipped to provide hospice services while abiding by Jewish traditions. ![]() Patients are typically referred to hospice care when further medical treatment is not expected to reverse the course of their disease and they elect instead to focus on therapies geared toward reducing pain and sustaining the highest quality of life for as long as possible. Hospice is a form of medical care for people suffering from terminal illnesses with a life expectancy of six months or less. However, the Conservative movement’s religious law authorities also endorsed a paper by Rabbi Elliot Dorff, who advanced several possible justifications for removing artificial nutrition and hydration for the terminally ill, among them the contention that a medically administered treatment that conveys food and water to the patient by tube is more properly regarded as medicine than as simple food and water. This position is was also reflected in the 1990 paper on end-of-life care authored by Conservative Rabbi Avram Reisner. Most Orthodox authorities generally consider nutrition, hydration and oxygen - even if artificially provided by a feeding tube or ventilator - to constitute essential human needs that should never be discontinued as long as they are effective. This is a common situation faced by those with advanced-stage dementia. Artificial Nutrition/Hydrationįor patients unable to eat or drink, doctors can provide food and water intravenously or through a feeding tube. And while weight is always given to a patient’s wishes, those who are concerned about complying with Jewish law are always urged to consult with trusted advisers. ![]() Jewish thinkers often emphasize that specific cases vary substantially and must be considered individually. Of course there is a moral distinction between hastening death and removing obstacles to its natural progression, but in practice the difference isn’t always easy to discern.īelow is a general overview of a number of issues that commonly arise at life’s end - and how Jewish authorities have weighed in on them. While Jewish tradition maintains that human life is of infinite value and that its preservation and extension overrides virtually every other religious imperative, relieving pain and allowing for the soul’s peaceful departure are also values well-established in Jewish tradition. They are often messy and complicated, and they have vexed ethicists, medical professionals and religious leaders alike. This post is part of a series sponsored by and developed in partnership with MJHS Health System and UJA-Federation of New York to raise awareness and facilitate conversations about end of life care in a Jewish context.ĭecisions concerning medical care in the final stages of life present a range of Jewish ethical and legal conundrums.

Important Note: For those analyses requiring the addition of 6N HCl, add the acid at the start of collection. (See section on FROZEN SPECIMENS.)īecause proper collection and preservation of 24-hour urine specimens are essential for accurate test results, patients should be carefully instructed in the correct procedure. Pack in dry ice for transport to the laboratory. If a frozen specimen is required, freeze the urine immediately after collection. See Urinalysis test for specific information. Note: Specimens for Urinalysis must be submitted in a yellow/red swirl-top preservative tube. This information is included as part of the specimen requirements for the individual tests in the General Test Listing section. For others, there are drug that must be avoided prior to obtaining the specimen. For some of these tests, there are dietary restrictions that must be observed. For urine chemistry tests, the 24-hour urine collection is the usual standard. Note the time of collection of the specimen on the test requisition and on the label of the container. Urine for pregnancy testing should be first morning void, or a random specimen with a specific gravity of at least 1.010. Submit a first morning voided specimen whenever possible. To reduce contamination, the specimen submitted for urinalysis should be a clean catch “mid-stream” sample. This specimen is preferred because it has a more uniform volume and concentration, and its lower pH helps preserve the formed elements. Most reference values are based on analysis of the first morning voided urine. The normal composition of urine varies considerably during a 24-hour period. Transfer the requested volume into the labeled urine transport vial. ![]() Measure and record this volume on the test request form and on the urine transport vial (see Pediatric Specimen Tubes below). Collect all urine for the next 24 hours so that the morning urine void on the second day is the final collection. On the day of the collection, discard the first morning urine void, and begin the collection after this void. The patient (or responsible individual) should be cautioned that the preservative may be toxic and caustic, and not to spill or discard the preservative. When the 24-hour urine output is less than 1 liter, 4 grams of boric acid can be used when boric acid is the specified preservative or 10 mL of 6N HCl can be used when HCl is specified. If a preservative is required, it is important that the designated preservative be in the urine collection container at the start of the collection. Record on the test request form any medications that the patient is receiving. Many urine chemistry tests require a 24-hour collection. ![]() ![]() ![]() Matt Lazier, the university’s assistant vice president for communications and media relations, declined to comment on the “pending legal matter.” The suit says the family “did not begin to understand the multitude of failings by Cal Poly until May 2023, when Cal Poly’s president publicly apologized to the family and stated: ‘(W)e recognize that things should have been done differently – and I personally wish that they had.’” “Cal Poly also breached its duty by failing to conduct a reasonable investigation into Kristin’s disappearance and into Flores himself,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit also alleges the university and campus police did not act quickly enough to investigate Smart’s disappearance. “If they had properly investigated her disappearance, (Flores) would have been arrested immediately.” “The bottom line is, if Cal Poly had done their job, Kristin would still be alive today,” Erin Reding, an attorney for the Smart family, told CNN.

Prosecutors had also accused Flores of being a “serial rapist” in the years that followed, CNN previously reported.Ĭal Poly police didn’t pursue a missing person case properly, only taking a report four days after her disappearance despite earlier pleas from friends worried about her wellbeing, the lawsuit says. It claims Flores had been accused of “threatening, stalking and harassing” behavior before Smart disappeared and should have been disciplined. The suit was filed Thursday in San Luis Obispo County Superior Court. Smart’s family alleges in the lawsuit the school did not investigate her disappearance properly and continued to let Flores attend, even though other accusations of harassment had been made against him by fellow students. He was convicted of first-degree murder the following year and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. “Flores also would have been prevented from assaulting and raping countless other women, in the years after he murdered Kristin.”Īlmost 25 years later, new evidence led authorities to Flores in April 2021. ![]() “If Cal Poly had properly acted on those reports, conducted an investigation, and appropriately disciplined the student, he would not have been on campus, and therefore would not have been able to murder Kristin,” the lawsuit states.

It is important to note that the lateral tripod pencil grasp should not be confused with an inefficient or dysfunctional grip, such as a fisted grip or a thumb wrap. Studies have shown that forcing children to conform to a specific pencil grip can actually hinder their writing development and lead to frustration. While some experts may argue that the traditional tripod grasp, where the pencil is held between the thumb, index, and middle fingers, is the most efficient and ergonomic grip, recent research suggests that individual variations in pencil grip should be considered. It can also help with maintaining a consistent grip on the pencil, reducing fatigue and discomfort during extended writing or drawing sessions. By using this grip, individuals can have better control over the pencil, allowing for more precise movements and better letter formation. The lateral tripod pencil grasp offers several benefits, including improved control and precision. While this grip may not be considered the "ideal" or traditional tripod grasp, it is still an acceptable and functional way to hold a pencil. It involves holding the pencil between the thumb and index finger, with the pencil resting on the side of the middle finger. The lateral tripod pencil grasp is a common pencil grip used by many individuals, especially children, when writing or drawing. Therefore, while the lateral tripod pencil grasp is acceptable to use, it is important to encourage and support individuals in developing a mature tripod grasp to improve their overall handwriting skills and prevent potential issues in the long term.Ģ、 Benefits of lateral tripod pencil grasp: Improved control and precision. This is because research suggests that a mature tripod grasp leads to better handwriting skills and reduces the risk of developing hand fatigue or discomfort during prolonged writing tasks. In recent years, there has been a shift towards promoting a mature tripod grasp as the preferred pencil grip technique. The mature tripod grasp allows for more efficient movement and reduces strain on the hand and fingers. However, it is important to note that the lateral tripod pencil grasp may not provide the same level of precision and fluidity as a mature tripod grasp, where the pencil is held between the thumb, index finger, and middle finger with the fingers positioned on top of the pencil. It allows for some stability and control over the pencil, which is essential for producing legible handwriting. While the lateral tripod pencil grasp is not the most ideal or efficient pencil grip, it can still be functional for writing and drawing tasks. Is the lateral tripod pencil grasp okay to use? The answer is yes, but with some considerations. This grip is often seen in individuals who have difficulty with fine motor skills or have not yet developed a mature pencil grasp. The lateral tripod pencil grasp is a pencil grip technique that involves holding the pencil between the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, with the fingers positioned on the side of the pencil. 1、 Lateral tripod pencil grasp: An acceptable pencil grip technique. As long as the grip allows for efficient and comfortable writing, it is generally considered acceptable. However, it is important to note that there is no one "correct" pencil grasp, as individuals may develop different grips that work best for them. ![]() This grip allows for stability and control while writing or drawing.
