![]() The WHQL-signed drivers offer performance increments as high as 41 percent in Bioshock: Infinite and up to 60 percent in Tomb Raider (2013), up to 23 percent in Sniper Elite V2, and up to 13 percent in Sleeping Dogs. NVIDIA posted GeForce 314.22 driver-suite, just in time for Bioshock: Infinite. You can view the announcement trailer below and first gameplay trailers at source below. In Civilization VI: Gathering Storm the choice is yours. It is at this point, you can opt to go to war in an effort to conquer your neighbors and take their fossil fuel reserves, or you can take on the worst polluters to save your sinking settlements and postpone the inevitable. As fossil fuels usage rises so will carbon, thus the race for renewable energy becomes more important as the issues related to climate change will start to have a far more significant impact, such as the flooding of coastal settlements and resource wars over dwindling fossil fuel reserves. Players will now generate carbon as they use fossil fuels throughout the ages, for example, coal during the industrial revolution. Rather than using the environmental issues as a gimmick, Firaxis has instead tied it into the core gameplay. Meanwhile, they have options at their disposal with which to try and thwart your evil plans, including using expanded diplomacy options brought into play by the World Congress, which also makes a reappearance in this expansion. This on top of the issues carbon and pollution will inflict on the general environment to the point you can actively seek to destroy it yourself as a means to negatively impact other Civs. Catastrophic volcanic eruptions and earthquakes will become moments of crisis, destroying or damaging nearby cities. What is different here is the focus on mother nature's wrath, with natural disasters being a major part of the game. ![]() This latest expansion will add nine new Civs to play as, along with new buildings, mechanics, and technologies, which are all par the course for a Civilization expansion. This increases to $0.81 per frame at 1440p Ultra and even more with 4K Ultra at $1.35 per frame.Sid Meier's Civilization VI will get its next expansion dubbed Gathering Storm on February 14th, 2019. Pricing this on a frame per frame around the graphics cards original price it will cost $0.p Ultra frame. ![]() To summarise, Radeon RX 560 4GB graphics cards can smoothly run this game, but what Civilization V screen resolution would you like to run with? While you can get 110 FPS with 4K Ultra you can increase your frame rate to 185 FPS in Ultra 1440p and up to 200+ FPS with 1080p. Perhaps couple this gaming PC with a processor that's as powerful as the AMD Ryzen R5 1400 and Ultra 4K would be a smooth experience. We would definitely recommend running at 4K screen res and on ultra, before trying any lower screen resolution. We expect to see around the 110 FPS mark on Ultra 4K.įinding a PC with this gpu or better would return some strong FPS in Civilization V. This GPU and game match up means this graphics hardware can comfortably play Civilization V at 4K. Those frames are achieved on Civilization V when being played at 1920x1080 screen resolution and on High graphics. Viewing the performance found on the 5 year old Radeon RX 560 4GB while playing Civilization V we quickly see it can return a consistently high 200+ frame rate.

When the keyboardist moved to Elektra six years later, she was behind three almost entirely self-composed albums - all of which she also arranged - and was progressing further away from pure jazz with a greater emphasis on funk, soul, and her lilting vocals. Months out of high school in 1972, Patrice Rushen attracted the attention of the Prestige label at the Monterey Jazz Festival. ![]() If(!str || typeof str != 'string' || str.

![]() Bentley’s BIM and reality modeling solution optimized digital workflows on the USD 7.5 billion metro megaproject, saving 1,000 resources hours for surveyors, engineers, and project managers. Using ProjectWise to establish an open, connected data environment (CDE) provided the interoperability to make the reality models available across cloud-based BIM and GIS data platforms, enhancing understanding of existing site conditions. They were processing the images with ContextCapture to deliver accurate 3D reality meshes of the site. The team used drones to quickly capture hundreds of high-quality images and seemingly infinite amounts of data along the project corridor. This megaproject deployed Bentley’s ContextCapture, Navigator, OpenRail and ProjectWise for the task. MMC-Gamuda joint venture is the turnkey contractor tasked with optimizing project design and constructability. As Malaysia’s first metro megaproject, it includes constructing 13.5-kilometer twin bored tunnels and 17 individual construction sites, the largest exceeding 17,000 square meters in the dense capital city. The Sungai-Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) Line runs through the center of Kuala Lumpur and its southern suburbs, serving approximately 2 million people. A good example could be seen in a drone surveying project for BIM and GIS Data Capture. The concept of ‘digital twins’ ran through this year’s edition of Bentley’s Year In Infrastructure.

They colonised and set up trade routes in the Americas and Asia. This spurred England, France and the Netherlands to do the same. This was the Age of Discovery, in which Spain and Portugal were the European pioneers, beginning to establish empires. Indeed, from as early as the 15th and 16th centuries, other countries’ dominant exploratory advances encouraged Britain to follow. The first public performance of ‘Rule, Britannia!’ was in London in 1745, and it instantly became very popular for a nation trying to expand and ‘rule the waves’. Shall to thy happy coast repair Blest Isle! While thou shalt flourish great and free,Ĥ. Below is the poem, as it appears in ‘The Works of James Tomson’ by Thomson (1763, Vol II, pg 191):ġ. The words vary slightly between the original poem and the song we know today. This could have had an influence on ‘Rule, Britannia!’, with ‘Britons never will be slaves’. Rather than giving in to the Romans and becoming a slave, Sophonisba chose to commit suicide. Another of his works was ‘The Tragedy of Sophonisba’ (1730). Scottish Thomson spent most of his life in England and hoped to forge a British identity, perhaps the reason for the pro-British lyrics. There were various influences on the poem. The masque was performed to celebrate the accession of George I (this was the Georgian era, 1714-1830) and the birthday of Princess Augusta. The masque pleased Prince Frederick because it associated him with the likes of Alfred the Great, a medieval king who managed to win in battle against the Danes (Vikings), and linked him to improving Britain’s naval dominance, which was Britain’s aim at this time. His relationship with his father was strained but he came to England in 1728 after his father became king. He was a German, born in Hanover, son of King George II. It was at Cliveden that the Prince of Wales, Frederick, was staying. Masques were a popular form of entertainment in 16th and 17th century England, involving verse, and, unsurprisingly, masks! The first performance of this masque was on 1st August, 1740, at Cliveden House, Maidenhead. The English composer, Thomas Augustine Arne (1710-1778), then composed the music, originally for the masque ‘Alfred’, about Alfred the Great. He was also a Scottish poet, but was less well-known than Thomson. The ‘Rule, Britannia!’ song that we recognise today started out as a poem co-written by the Scottish pre-Romantic poet and playwright, James Thomson (1700-48), and David Mallet (1703-1765), originally Malloch. The Victorians were also too prudish to leave her breast uncovered, and modestly covered it to protect her dignity! She was also standing in the water, often with a lion (England’s national animal), representing the nation’s oceanic dominance. ![]() In the Victorian period, when the British Empire was rapidly expanding, this was altered to include her brandishing a trident and a shield with the British flag on, a perfect patriotic representation of the nation’s militarism. The Romans created a goddess of Britannia, wearing a Centurion helmet and toga, with her right breast exposed. Those living in Britannia would be referred to as Britanni. The word ‘Britannia’ is derived from ‘Pretannia’, from the term that the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus (1BC) used for the Pretani people, who the Greeks believed lived in Britain. The name was then revived in the age of the Empire, when it had more significance. This Latin word referred to England and Wales, but was no longer used for a long time after the Romans left. Originally, Great Britain was called ‘Albion’ by the Romans, who invaded Britain in 55BC, but this later became ‘Britannia’. The patriotic song ‘Rule, Britannia!, Britannia rule the waves’, is traditionally performed at the ‘Last Night of the Proms’ which takes place each year at the Royal Albert Hall. ![]() The service will not provide a completely bevel-less edge. In other words, we intend to provide you with a serviceable weapon, not a personal grooming implement. Our goal is to provide you with a usable edge for cutting practice that will hold up to some use and not require constant re-sharpening. ![]() The resulting edge will be “sword sharp” not razor sharp. Our sword sharpening expert has personally sharpened several thousand swords at this point, so will provide you with a professional service. We can sharpen only the last half or third of an edge, for example. ![]() If you have a different preference, feel free to make that request in the special instructions at check out. By default we will sharpen as much of the blade as possible including any false edges if appropriate. The blades are rested between passes to prevent them from becoming hot and damaging their temper. The process involves many passes with sanding belts of various grits. The sharpening service is done with a belt sander. We adjust the angle of the edge to suit the specific blade and attempt to get as close to a bevel-less edge as possible without marring the surface of the blade. Some blades will take and hold sharper edges than others and the thickness of the blade will determine how wide the bevel will need to be. The resulting edge is somewhat dependent on the particular blade. The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. We can no longer weed out the “blemished” items from this product as the majority of them come this way. Please Note: Although these items are brand new & coming from Cold Steel some of the sayas /scabbards may suffer from minor scuffs & scrapes. There is a matching Wakizashi available to complement this Katana – it is sold separately and is linked in a thumbnail on this page. Included with the sword is an embroidered sword bag. The saya scabbard is carved to fit the blade from wood and is finished with a coating of glossy black lacquer and a black sageo cord. The tsuba and hilt fittings are iron with intricate 24 karat gold leaf detailing and the wooden grip has panels of genuine rayskin coupled with brass menuki and a grip wrap of black ito cord. The blade is forged from folded steel and it was differentially-hardened when tempering to give the blade a shock-absorbing spine and a hardened cutting edge. This is a katana for the practitioner who desires a blade both swift in the cut and quick on the draw, for velocity is a power in itself. Its bo-hi groove reduces its overall weight significantly and also gives it a favorable balance whilst retaining considerable cutting power coupled with the ability for the swordsman to quickly recover for another strike. Cold Steels Golden Lion Katana is designed to be a lightweight katana for the everyday duties of the samurai. ![]() So you have advanced to the tribal stage of life, yet another mysterious and challenging set of events are about to come your way, but first, you must dress your naked bodies.

For example, if 1,000 units of a company's only product were purchased but its inventory increased by 100 units, then the cost of 900 units will be the cost of goods sold. One way to calculate a retailer's cost of goods sold is to begin with the cost of the goods it had purchased during the accounting period and then adjust it for the change in inventory. Examples of Calculating the Cost of Goods Sold When the cost of goods sold is subtracted from net sales, the result is the company's gross profit. In essence, the cost of goods sold is being matched with the revenues from the goods sold, thereby achieving the matching principle of accounting. The cost of goods sold is reported on the income statement and should be viewed as an expense of the accounting period. The cost of goods sold is the cost of the products that a retailer, distributor, or manufacturer has sold. COS in a service company typically includes labor associated with delivering the service.What is the cost of goods sold?

(Excerpts from Financial Intelligence, Chapter 8 – Costs and Expenses) The top part of our income statement (with our COGS line) would look like this: All other expenses not directly related to the product or service goes under a category called Operating Expenses such as your receptionists’ or accountants’ salary. There are more line items that would be included in COGS, but you get the idea. These costs are directly related to our service and fall into the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) line. For that month we also had expenses, including the cost of gas for the delivery truck in the amount of $2,000, and the salary of the driver at $3,000. In the first full month of operation you do $10,000 worth of business (this becomes our revenue line). Let’s assume you start a delivery company and line up a few customers.

The idea behind COGS is to measure all costs (which are variable) directly associated with making the product or delivering the service. These costs can include labor, material, and shipping. It includes all the costs directly involved in producing a product or delivering a service. Cost of Goods Sold, (COGS), can also be referred to as cost of sales (COS), cost of revenue, or product cost, depending on if it is a product or service.
