Norwegian psychologist Frode Stenseng explored this theory, and divides escapism into two categories: self-suppression and self-expansion. In fact, by absorbing its reader into the world of fictional characters so effortlessly, lowbrow novels do something which ‘higher’ literature cannot it encourages all those beautiful qualities that are so important for coping in a pandemic-compassion, empathy, and an understanding of self. It is a type of writing that allows the reader to briefly live within a world borne by an author a world where the reader is liberated from daily responsibilities. A reality separate and far away from the reality of a pandemic. Genre, escapist, or lowbrow fiction-whatever you want to call it-permits the reader to indulge in an alternate reality. It is also highly accessible, being produced and distributed in great quantities. The lowbrow reaches diverse groups of readers, and is usually easy to devour. However, one of the lowbrow genres greatest superpowers is that it is a great source of entertainment. Whether you’re reading a feminist manifesto, an anthology of short stories about race, a non-fic about the effects of climate change, or even sifting through your local newspaper, there is a time for writing that provides the reader with facts and complex theories. Highbrow literature and non-fiction novels certainly do have their place they are educational and can inspire critical thinking on crucial topics. With this, a sort of snobbery ensued, as the upper class deemed highbrow literature as ultimately superior. As literature became more accessible for the lower classes, the upper and upper-middle classes found themselves no longer the main consumer of novels. Rooted in a system interwoven with race and class, ‘lowbrow’ literature grew in popularity in the era when mass production was taking off. Unlike their older sister, ‘lowbrow’ and ‘middlebrow’ are typically used as derogatory terms. Middlebrow literature is the novels produced in mass, yet tackling the same intellectual topics as the highbrows. And there, resting on the fence somewhere in between, like a cat surveying its surroundings, is the ‘middlebrow’. Highbrows were seen as more culturally and intellectually advanced, whereas lowbrows focused more on entertainment and ‘simplicity’. It was derived from the pseudoscience of phrenology-the study of skull shape as a determiner of character. This term was first used in print in 1884, but wasn’t popularised until it appeared in a piece for The Sun of New York City in 1902. To understand lowbrow literature, we need to take a quick glance at its predecessor, ‘highbrow’. Lowbrow fiction flooded these search results. As the level of restrictions increased, so did my google searches for ‘Best Books for Escapism’. Many of the narratives I felt drawn towards were easily found in my local bookshop, or listed on the homepage of a large bookstore website. When the news became too overwhelming, I would reach for a novel and there I would feel safe. I, myself, stretched for fiction, grasping for a chance to narrow my focus to the pages of interdimensional space travel, magical realms, and shocking plot twists. And so we held on to more books, more pages. Book sales soared as we realised that, for a while, our world would be restrained within the pages in our hands. Many people also turned to their bookshelves for comfort. When the little bubble of our world became restricted, we found creativity in the corners of our homes. In early 2020, Melbournians in lockdown found freedom in new hobbies: baking a fresh loaf of sourdough, learning to crochet, tie-dying jeans, or learning the latest TikTok dance.

(Benjamin, 1969) p.261.” He calls in to mind the French Revolution and the rebels using the image of ancient Rome as an inspiration. Benjamin is suggesting that as history is forever progressing, moving it is problematic to pin down concrete suppositions from it.īenjamin talks of history and it’s connection to the present, describing it as being, “filled by the presence of the now (Benjamin, 1969) p.261.” He asserts that contemporary figures use history as a way to comment and rationalise the present, and that it can be a powerful tool for change, “a tiger’s leap into the past. But a storm is blowing (Benjamin, 1969) p.257.” In this powerful the angel of history is unable to make order of the great mess he sees as he is carried onward by time’s progress. As opposed to our view of history’s progress as a long line of events Benjamin describes a more chaotic image as a, ”single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage.The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. The angel moves facing backwards, Benjamin sees this image as an expression of history and it’s progression. (Benjamin, 1969) p.256.”īenjamin later uses an image from artist Paul Klee in his exploration of the nature of history. (Benjamin, 1969) p.256.” To Benjamin this “triumphal procession” negates much of the validity of historical sources and it’s progress is inherently distasteful, saying these texts are, “not free of barbarism. He suggests that we do not hear from those at society’s lower classes, that the historical narrative has become in unreliable march of powerful, “Whoever has emerged victorious participates to this day in the triumphal procession in which the present rulers step over those who are lying prostrate. Identifying that what survives from the past is carried forward by the victors, those at the top of society. In my research on theory of historical study and understanding I had read a chapter of Walter Benjamin’s book Illuminations called “Theses on the Philosophy of History.” In this chapter Benjamin reflects on the position of the historical materialist and history, how it should be approached and the problems that are thrown up by it.īenjamin calls for a detachment in approaching historical information. So, finally, I decide to try using the obse_loader.exe file that's included with the xOBSE and OBSE v0021 archives. I follow the instructions in the readme file for the Steam version and. Then, I decide to download the version of OBSE from (v0021). Plus my Steam install is outside of "Program Files." Blergh. My Windows 10 UAC isn't blocking anything, I'm running everything as an administrator, my save games aren't in a read-only folder, and I don't have any ransomware protection that's interfering with installs or read/write permissions. So now I start checking other websites and I see all kinds of crazy recommendations, none of which apply to me. I delete my Oblivion install, re-install, retry installing xOBSE, retry the overlay, and still no. Next I check and re-check that the Steam community overlay thing is turned on. ess saved game (I create a new one each time), but not a corresponding. Next, I checked around the Nexus Mods and Reddit forums and found that some people were also copying the contents of the Data folder from their xOBSE folder to the Data folder in C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion - cool, I try that thinking that I just skipped a step. All of my saved games can be found in C:\Users\XXXXXXXXXX\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves - but nothing's there except the. obse file was saved along with the usual. I make a save file, then I go to ensure that an. My game is installed here: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivionįirst, I downloaded xOBSE from - then I extracted the recommended files to the directory above ( obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_steam_loader.dll and obse_loader.exe) and I tried running the game. In this case, I'm told that OBSE is working properly if, after saving my game, I can find both an. well, I'm doing everything it tells me to do and not getting the expected results. I installed Wrye Bash no problem, and from what I can tell by looking through instruction sets and Youtube videos, it will be fairly easy to use. I'm running Windows 10 and Steam and have the GOTY edition with all of the DLC (v 1.2.0.416) I've never had problems with SKSE, LOOT, or even DynDOLOD, but I'm brand new to Oblivion modding and running into a weird mystery almost from the start.

The subreddit for Oblivion's modding community! He's been indirectly involved in the creation of the mod from the start, and has now stepped up to become a developer. My friend, Trentv4, is interested in continuing the work on Glenn's Gases under my supervision. I haven't shown much interest in minecraft modding nor maintaining the mod in this period, but it's about to change at least for a little while now. The mod has been on hiatus for a while now. This list could have been so much longer. EXTREME AMOUNTS of invisible internal changes.Added Infinite Gas Pump and Infinite Gas Drain.Made all gas machinery accept and discard air if necessary.Fixed bug where Corrosive Gas would completely ignore block hardness.Made the mods look much better in the FML mods menu.The core counterparts of Glenn's Gases and Gases Framework no longer need their own mod files.Added native WAILA support (no plugin required).Added visual indication of filter settings to Gas Pumps and Gas Collectors.Gas Pumps and Gas Collectors now remove their filtering state if the player applies a filter that is equal to the current setting.Made Gas Collectors able to transmit their contents to adjacent Gas Collectors. Slightly increased the pump rate of Gas Pumps and Gas Collectors. Removed all explosions related to failed pumping and overloading. When highlighting a Gas Pipes while holding a Gas Pipe, green arrows will appear showing where gas flows.Tweaked a large amount of values regarding world generation.Added support for Retrogen which will allow future gas types to be generated in already existing worlds. It should be much more stable and have a slightly smaller impact on performance. Tweaked and repaired the internal behaviour of Lanterns.Primitive Respirator no longer breaks completely, and can be repaired with Coal on an anvil.Blindness caused by gases is now smoother and also affects FOV.Gas Lanterns now expire at proper rates.The same update checker has been applied to the Gases Framework.The update checker of Glenn's Gases has been upgraded, and updated to allow login tracking.All fields have been renamed in the process. Reworked the mod configurations into a highly readable format.Consider using the new Retrogen to get your gases back. Very sorry about that, but it's going to pay off in the future. This update brings a ridiculous amount of changes, including the changing of a large amount of block IDs. The mod supports display and provides information for each specific square that you are watching.It's been a long wait, but Glenn's Gases 1.6.0 and Gases Framework 1.1.0 is now out for Minecraft 1.7.10! This new version will also be available for 1.7.2 tomorrow, and eventually 1.8. It is a mod called Waila (What Am I Looking At). This sounds simple, but in fact, is a useful feature that many Minecraft players are interested in. If you have played some modpack before, you will probably see a frame displaying general mod information. This Minecraft Mod allows players to quickly identify square blocks and access blocks or comprehensive data without opening an additional menu. With Waila mod, now you can make the world a little less confusing and spend more time having fun. For example, the water tank is full or the battery charge level. With newer mods, it can also tell you about the state of that block. You simply point your cross at a block and it will tell you what it is and which mod it comes from. Waila stands for “What Am I Looking At” and it’s a godsend when you’ve got it in Minecraft. WAILA is very useful when you want to learn quickly about equipment, items, and widgets in Minecraft. This pop-up will tell you exactly what the item is, including where it came from, and which mod created the item.

Septem5:00 AM This year’s Sausage Fest is Sept. Tritium decays into helium over time with a half-life of 12.3 years. How long will it take until there is less than 10mg of caffeine left in your bloodstream? 2. Suppose you drink a cup of coffee that contains 200mg of caffeine. Caffeine has a half-life of approximately 5 hours. Kinetics at Rest was measured first (R): the subjects remained at rest for 8 h after.1. The effect of moderate exercise on the kinetics of caffeine in 12 healthy volunteers-6 heavy coffee drinkers (HD) and 6 light coffee drinkers (LD) has been studied. Sources: PubMed Effects of moderate exercise on the pharmacokinetics of caffeine - PubMed There isn’t a whole lot of research in this area though so we don’t have much to work with. Also, their version of “exercise” was 30% VO2 max which is better than nothing, but we’re more interested in something like 70% VO2 max efforts. Subsequent studies didn’t show a significant difference between exercise or non exercise. All of which can affect caffeine metabolism. That 1991 paper wasn’t the best because they didn’t control for cigarette smokers, menstruation cycle amongst other things. With rest, it was around 4 hours ,’with excerise it was around 2.5 hours. There were some study, 60 min rest or 60 min excersice was compared. Different drugs lead to desensitization at different rates. If this happens acutely during a race or more chronically, I’m not sure. Since caffeine must act at extracellular receptors, my assumption without looking into more research, is that the receptors will become desensitized overtime and a larger intake will be needed. If there is enzyme mediated breakdown of caffeine, it could be a multitude of possibilities based on the rate limiting component. (You’d have increased rate of circulation through the kidneys and also increased pressure at the glomerulus). If freely filtered in the kidneys, the elevated HR and systolic BP would lead to elevated GFR and quicker losses. This would depend on the kinetics and mechanism of caffeine excretion. One patient, a 35-year-old man who had.įinally does the physiological impact of racing mean the caffeine gets cleared faster from the body than when just sitting at a desk typing at a computer so the racer would have less than 102mg? The mean serum caffeine half-life for the healthy subjects was 5.7 hours. Results are presented describing serum caffeine half-lives for three healthy subjects and two patients having alcoholic hepatic disease. So, does having 102mg of caffeine in the system mean the racer’s body will experience the same effect of that caffeine as when they took most of that in back earlier in the day? Or does this latent caffeine that’s been in the body for many hours end up losing its effect? Or, finally does the physiological impact of racing mean the caffeine gets cleared faster from the body than when just sitting at a desk typing at a computer so the racer would have less than 102mg? PubMed Serum caffeine half-lives. Then if they take a gel with 20mg of caffeine every hour after the start of the race for a 5 hour race, they will end up with 102mg of caffeine in their system at the end of the race. If that race starts at 9am, they will still have 78mg of caffeine in their system when the gun goes off. Let’s assume a racer has a cup of coffee (100mg) at 7am before a race. So by my math (degree in physics so I’m pretty sure I got this right) that means there is a k value of 0.1216 for caffeine when using hours and we can do some interesting calculations. I saw a paper that suggested that caffeine has an approximate half-life in the body of 5.7hrs. After seeing the post this morning “How much caffeine on 100mi gravel” I went down a rabbit hole and have a question that I think merits its own topic. I kept saying no until someone finally asked me, “How do you know?” Over the next few months, a lot more people ask me if Facebook Marketplace Dropshipping worked.
