In 2006, Valve released the episodic sequel Half-Life 2: Episode One, followed in 2007 by Episode Two, the multiplayer game Team Fortress 2 and the puzzle game Portal. With advanced physics systems and an increased focus on story and characters, Half-Life 2 received critical acclaim and sold 12 million copies by 2011. In 2003, Valve launched Steam, followed by Half-Life 2 in 2004. With its realism, scripted sequences and seamless narrative, it has had a lasting influence on the FPS genre. Their debut game, the first-person shooter (FPS) Half-Life (1998), was a critical and commercial success. Valve was founded in 1996 by the former Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington. It is the developer of the software distribution platform Steam and the game franchises Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Portal, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, and Dota.

I prefer the histogram representation of the squeeze momentum indicator. These black dots turn grey when the Bollinger band forms outside the channel. In the case of the dots, when the Bollinger bands form inside the Keltner channel, the black dots visualize. There are two ways to represent this indicator on a trading chart. SM combines these two indicators to measure the level of volatility and trend change in a trading market. On the other hand, Keltner Channel helps to measure the average true range in a market. It is a decent tool for measuring the volatility in a trading market. As the upper and lower bands are at a significant distance, it means the market is facing a breakout in prices. If the bands are in a squeezing shape and their distance from each other is narrow, it means the prices are not facing an active change. The price usually stays between the upper and lower bands. The Bollinger bands provide information about the lower and higher range of price swings.

It looks like from the next chapter my regular goods will be drained as well. I have been stockpiling my orcs/mana/seeds, so the only problem are sentient goods. You know, starting from the Elvenar chapter you need tons of goods literally everywhere. It is not too much but I was able to get through all previous chapters without waiting/unwanted delay - when I needed some extra goods I just used manufactory spells, time boosters, and my trader of course.īut I am not sure anymore if the 2+1 setting will be enough. ![]() Build, test and optimise city layouts without the limitations of trying this in-game. ![]() Until now (Elvenari chapter) my setting was 2 regular goods manufactories + 1 sentient goods manufactory.

Another one of the most beautiful villages in France, it features a maze of cobbled streets (be ready for uphill walking), a Romanesque church and a troglodyte fort. With its dramatic setting against a limestone cliff and its castle, La Roque-Gageac looks like a village out of a story book. La Roque-Gageac, a story book town in the Dordogne It, too, looks like a fairy tale setting, but with modern service and gastronomic dining. Where to stay: You can explore Beynac-et-Cazenac from Sarlat or stay in the unique Domaine du Château de Monrecour in nearby Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse. The creamy houses glow at sunrise, but you may want to come back in the evening when it’s beautifully lit like a fairy-tale village. The river’s edge is lined with a stretch of wonderful stone homes, and there are a number of restaurants and bars along the cobbled streets that rise above. You can climb the towers for the same views. Richard the Lionheart, King of England, once walked the halls of the castle, gazing out at his French enemies in Castelnaud.

Where to stay: I can’t think of a more romantic place to stay than Les Suites Sarladaises. If you’re using Sarlat as your base, you can also take tours to Beynac & Domme, along with a boat ride on the Dordogne River or a half- day tour to Rocamadour. Take a gourmet tour on Sarlat’s market day that includes tastings of the local specialties and the major sights. It’s also no surprise that you’ll discover fresh and fantastic food in Sarlat, well known for its foie gras and other local delicacies. It’s no wonder that the town has been popular as a movie set for films like Jeanne d’Arc and The Duellists. This has to be one of the most romantic places to visit in France. I really fell for this medieval town, with its glowing honey-coloured building and romantic gas-lit lanes. Sarlat is a perfect base to explore many of the villages, and this is where you’ll find many options for accommodations in the Dordogne. The Prettiest Villages in the Dordogne: Sarlat-la-Canéda is a perfect base for exploring the Dordogne Most restaurants will be open and prices for accommodations will be lower than in the summer. The weather is still warm, although there is a slightly higher chance of rain. However, my favourite time to visit is during the shoulder seasons in the spring or fall. All of the restaurants and attractions are open in the summer, and the weather is usually warm and pleasant. The most popular time to visit the Dordogne is during the summer months of July and August. ![]() It’s helpful to have a car to explore the small towns in the Dordogne, although there are local tours available from the central towns of Sarlat or Périgueux. I usually use Auto Europe to find a good price. International travelers may take the train to, or fly into Bordeaux and rent a car there. Travelers from the UK often fly directly into these two locations. The Dordogne Valley is served by two international airports, the Brive Airport or Bergerac Airport.

Indeed, the Dordogne is home to 22 of “ The Most Beautiful Villages in France“.Ĭenturies ago, the Dordogne Valley was an important battle area during the Hundred Years War and because of this, the area is dotted with hilltop castles and pretty medieval towns. Based on my visit, these might just be the cutest towns in France you don’t want to miss. This area in France is a popular holiday destination for visitors from the UK, but is lesser known to tourists from North America.

The only requirement is to use 4 large eggs. If you follow my recipe precisely, you should be able to achieve perfect onsen tamago as the final result. Not required to soak eggs in iced water after cooking, in case you don’t have ice cubes handy.Some recipes require eggs to be “room temperature”, but the “room” temperature could be different depending on where you live. Requires just a stove and pot (which I hope everyone has in their kitchen).Here are the highlights of this technique: There are many ways to make the perfect onsen tamago, but this technique does not require a microwave, a thermometer, or any special cooking gadget. Therefore, if we maintain the cooking water at 149-154☏ (65-68☌) for 30 minutes, we’ll get a perfect spherical poached egg, creamy and silky on the outside and firm on the inside. Egg yolks solidify at 158☏ (70☌) and egg whites solidify at 176☏ (80☌). We can achieve this special texture because egg yolk and egg white solidify at different temperatures. It’s basically the complete opposite of soft-boiled eggs, which are firm whites and soft egg yolk. While the whites are soft and silky, the yolk comes out firm but retains the color and creamy texture of an uncooked yolk. What’s so special about these eggs? These eggs are perfectly poached inside its shell. Why is the name “hot springs eggs”? Originally, eggs prepared this way were slow-cooked in Japan’s warm hot springs water. ![]() Onsen means hot springs, and tamago means eggs in Japanese. ![]() Today I’ll add another popular dish to the egg recipe collection, and it’s Onsen Tamago (温泉卵). In the past, I’ve shared some popular Japanese egg recipes on Just One Cookbook such as Omurice, Tamagoyaki, and Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago). Here’s how you can make this delicious egg recipe at home. It refers to eggs that are slowly cooked in hot spring water to create silky egg whites and custard-like yolk. Onsen Tamago literally means “ hot spring eggs“ in Japanese. ![]() ![]() ![]() Statisticians consider both Linear and quadratic regression analysis to be linear because they both use a linear model to find the line of best fit. This means that the regression model for linear and quadratic regression is linear. Notice how the predicted dependent variable y is made from a linear combination of the regression coefficients (the a's) and the predictor variable x x x. The regression equation for fitting a quadratic function or a straight line is shown below. The difference between linear and quadratic regression depends on whether you are interested in the regression equation, or the shape of the line of best fit.įitting a quadratic line of best fit to input data is often considered quadratic regression. What Is the Difference Between Linear and Quadratic Regression The interval is often stated as a confidence interval.įor example, the predicted value of y for a given x could be 10 with a 95% chance that it is between 8 and 12. The prediction interval shows the range of y values that the model believes would occur for an x value. Sometimes the uncertainty of the prediction can be modeled, this is called a prediction interval. ![]() Regression models provide an estimate for the y values given x values. + a 1 x + b What is a Prediction Interval The first order simple linear regression equation looks like: Sometimes the predictor is called the independent variable and the response is called the dependent variable. The exponential regression calculator is useful if the relationship looks like an exponential curve.Ī linear regression model describes the relationship between a predictor ( x x x) and a response variable ( y y y) as a linear equation. The polynomial regression calculator is useful if the relationship appears to be a polynomial. This linear regression calculator is useful when you want to perform regression analysis and there appears to be a straight-line relationship between your input variables.Ī scatter plot can be useful for taking a first look at the data for relationships. Linear Regression is useful when there appears to be a straight-line relationship between your input variables.
