![]() There are elements that we see no where else, including the ability to establish a camp for storage of excess gold and food, or the way that instead of inquiring about the cost of everything in a shop, you can tell the shopkeeper how much you want to spend, and he'll make suggestions. In Moria, we have a lot of firsts: first to require food and water first to allow dual-wielding first to assign offensive and defensive ratings to weapons first to segregate arcane and priestly magic first to deal with secret doors by having players walk through a blank wall and first in which groups of adventurers could team up and fight monsters together (in teams of up to 10). If any of these characteristics feels a bit odd to those used to the D&D paradigm, they are completely overshadowed by the game's innovations. All items are called "weapons," even armor. "Vitality" replaces hit points and magic points. There is otherwise no experience or leveling. Each exists on a scale of 0-100 rather than 3-18, and they actually increase with use-a mechanic that until now I thought appeared for the first time in Eamon. There are four attributes, but they're not quite like anything derived from D&D: cunning, piety, valor, and wizardry. The game really does feel like something written by someone who had heard about D&D through the filter of another game. Instead, they were inspired by the stories that the authors of The Game of Dungeons told of their development woes and decided to see what they could do with the same concept. According to author Kevet Duncombe (in a 2007 interview with Matt Barton), neither he nor co-author Jim Battin were even aware of the existence of D&D when they began programming Moria, nor had Duncombe read The Lord of the Rings. If Moria wasn't quite the first computer role-playing game, it was nonetheless unique in that it wasn't based on Dungeons & Dragons.

Well, we need not feel too bad for the latter, because they clearly adapted much of their game from Moria. We recently had a discussion about the extent to which the developers of Wizardry had borrowed from Oubliette. ![]() In contrast to the other games being developed concurrently in 1975, which were both top-down, iconographic affairs that would inspire the DND/ Telengard line, Moria is a first-person game in which the players navigate a series of wireframe mazes (shown in a tiny window) to slay enemies and collect treasure. ![]()

Human Rights Campaign (HRC): The HRC was established in 1980 and aims at ending discrimination against LGBTQ+ people around the world. #StillBisexual provides nine free LGBTQIA+ lessons to high school sexual education programs and GSA groups.īiNet USA: The oldest advocacy organization for bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled people, BiNet distributions important educational information and helps facilitate the development of bisexual and bi-friendly communities around the country. After it went viral, Kristal launched #StillBisexual, a bisexual education and health advocacy organization. and What I've learned as a bisexual woman in a straight relationship.Ĭheck out these additional groups and resources on what it means to be bi+: #StillBisexual: In 2015, activist Nicole Kristal posted a video aimed to dispel the misconceptions surrounding bisexuality. Here are 5 things I wish people understood. If you want to know more about the first-hand challenges and stigmas bi folks face, check out our pieces on I identify as bisexual. If you're curious about bisexuality or sexualities in general, take a look at our resources around 11 types of sexuality and their meanings and the difference between the commonly-confused pansexuality and bisexuality. Belle Haggett Silverman, president of the BRC, told Insider it's not uncommon for bi+ people to hear comments like, "You're just on your way to gay," or "you're not queer enough for queer spaces."īut bisexuality is truly something to be celebrated, especially as it brings an openness and an understanding of life beyond binaries, Haggett Silverman adds. Sexual identity is complicated, but if you want further context, the Bisexual Resource Center (BRC) has a great resource page on the topic.īecause bisexuality isn't black and white, there are tons of negative stereotypes and misconceptions around bi+ identities - both from heterosexual folks as well as within the LBGTQ+ community. "There are as many bisexualities as there are bisexuals," Ackerman says, and many bi+ people identify with multiple terms, including queer, pan, or demi. The umbrella term "bisexual+" or "bi+" incorporates these diverse experiences. Or you might be romantically, physically, and sexually attracted to people who may not align with strict gender identities, such as non-binary and transgender folks. That can mean you're romantically attracted to someone of the same gender and sexually attracted to someone of the opposite gender. Generally, being bi+ means you feel romantically, physically, and/or emotionally attracted to more than one gender. Historically, bisexuality has been portrayed as a person being attracted to both men and women, but as our understanding of both gender identity and sexual orientation develops, so does the concept of being bi.īisexuality is different for every person who identifies as such, as is the level or type of attraction bi+ people feel for others. The bisexual+ umbrella includes a diverse range of identities and sexual orientations. In honor of Bisexual Visibility Day, we've rounded up resources to help support the bi+ community in every way, including clearing up misconceptions about what bisexuality means supporting the unique mental health struggles of the community and how those who identify as bi+ can cultivate stronger bonds with more like-minded folks. ![]() ![]() That's why it's important to celebrate bisexual pride in addition to the larger LBGTQ+ pride month in June and LGBT History Month in October. Bi+ people may also feel very isolated, especially if their friend group is mostly heterosexual folks, Brian Ackerman, psychotherapist at The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center in New York City told Insider. Given this, it's no surprise research shows that bisexual folks have higher rates of depression and anxiety compared to not just heterosexual people, but also to the gay and lesbian community. This includes comments that their bisexuality is "just a phase" (it's not) or that they're "confused" (they're not). If you're wondering why we need a separate day specifically devoted to the bisexual+ community, consider this: Even though bi+ people make up around half of the LGBTQ+ community in the U.S., studies show they face pervasive biases in their communities, families, and society at large. (It's the final day of celebration for Bisexual+ Awareness Week.) 23 this year but has taken place annually since 1999.

I can’t shoot to 30 yards in my driveway so I don’t know what the impact will be at that range but I assume around 4” low. If you subscribe to Jack O’Connor’s ‘shoot to a zone’ technique, this is pretty nice to know. If you zero for 3” high at 10 yards it will shoot dead on at 20 yards. I managed to fine tune the red dot sight zero and shoot out to 20 yards this morning.

This capacity is useful if reclaiming is done with a front end loader or if a bulldozer or bucket wheel reclaimer is used. In the discussions above, only the total capacity of the stockpiles was considered. In comparing the two types of systems, one should also always consider both the capital costs and operating expenses before deciding on one system or the other. This is an important fact that should not be overlooked in the design of a stockpile system. As indicated previously, soil pressures under an elongated pile are lower than those under conical piles of equivalent capacity. The main disadvantage is that the stockpile building equipment is more complex and usually requires a higher capital investment. The main advantages of an elongated stockpile are that it can easily be varied to fit into a plant layout and very large stockpiles can be built without raising the ore to prohibitive heights. Where: Pr = radius of central section peak (Horizontal distance from stacker pivot to peak of central section)ī = angle (in degrees) formed by radii at limits of central section peak The capacity analysis is identical to that for an elongated pile except that the arc length of the center section is substituted for the value L in Equal 4 above. A kidney-shaped pile such as that formed by a radial stacker is merely a variation of the elongated pile. The total capacity of an elongated pile is the sum of the results of Equation 1 and Equation 4. Where: r = radius of end half cone in feet Where: R = radius of end half cone in metersįor a value of A of 38 degrees, Equation 4 reduces to:ħ.81 x 10 -4 R²LD = capacity in metric tons…………………………….(5)Įquation 5 expressed in English units is:ģ.91 x 10 -4 r²ld = capacity in short tons………………………………….(6) The capacity of the center section of the elongated pile is given by: The end half cones can be combined to form a single conical pile which can be analyzed using Equation 1, 2 or 3 above. The capacity of the stockpile can easily be determined by considering the pile as two separate volumes. The elongated stockpile and its variations are the most common stockpile form in high capacity installations. For example, if 1600 kg/m³ (100 lb/ ft³) material is being stockpiled on soil with an allowable bearing pressure of 14 680 kg/m³ (3000 lb/ft³) the maximum permissible conical stockpile is about 27.4m (90 ft.) high and has a total storage capacity of about 56 000 metric tons (62 000 short tons). More importantly, because the conical pile occupies such a small ground area in relation to its volume, soil pressures on large piles can exceed the bearing strength of the local soil. This results in very long conveyors and supports and accompanying large foundations to withstand the loads on the conveyor. One disadvantage is that very high stockpiles are required to attain large storage capacities. The main advantage of the conical pile is that it can easily be built by dozing equipment or a fixed belt conveyor. Substituting this value for A reduces Equation 1 to:Ĩ.18 x 10 -4 R☽ = capacity in metric tons………………….(2)Ĥ.09 x 10 -4 r³d = capacity in short tons…………………(3)įor convenience, typical stockpile capacities have been tabulated in both metric and English units in Table 1. This fact will become important later in considerations of live storage capacity.įor many common materials, the angle of repose, A, is about 38 degrees. One should also observe at this point that one-half of the capacity of the stockpile is in the lower 1/5 of the pile. Increasing the height of the stockpile by 26% results in a doubling of the stockpile capacity. This means that the capacity of the conical pile grows very rapidly as the height (and hence the radius of the pile) increases. Note that the capacity of the conical stockpile varies with the cube of the radius of the pile. ![]() The total stockpile capacity is given by:ģ.14 (Tan A)R³ D/3000 = capacity in metric tons…………………(1)Ī = angle of repose for material to be stockpiled The conical stockpile is the simplest and easiest to analyze. Stockpiles fall into two general categories: conical and elongated. Calculating Stockpile Capacity: Once the minimum storage capacities which will assure maximum mill output are known, the appropriate stockpile configuration must be determined. ![]() ![]() Bitmap tracing: Boxy SVG provides a Vectorize generator to trace bitmaps into Bézier curves with color fills depending on user-defined color quantization settings.New filters can be created with a graph-based filter designer.

So, how do we write a logline, then? Unfortunately, there’s no official logline template. It proves that you know exactly how and why your story should exist. This is why a logline is so often required during the pitching process. If you can elicit an emotional response from your target audience with a single, concise sentence, you probably have a fantastic grasp of your story and character arc. While there are no hard and fast rules on how many words are in a logline, the industry consensus is that less is more. It may allude to a character arc or central conflict or, if your screenplay doesn’t follow the conventional Hero’s Journey, it might instead be a vague yet alluring outline that denotes tone or genre. ![]() It’s a one to two sentence summary of your screenplay that acts as a hook into your story’s world.
