![]() It is now at unprecedented lows in terms of capacity, causing widespread negative impact on both people and agriculture. For example, Lake Mead, North America’s largest manmade water reservoir, serves as the primary water source for many states, including California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. 5īut severe climate issues are exacerbating the risk. Since 2000, 1.8 billion people have gained access to drinking water services and 2.1 billion have gotten access to basic sanitation services. The good news is that there has been some progress. 2.7 billion people live without access to fresh water at least 1 month per year.2 million people, mostly children, die every single year either from lack of water or from disease they got from tainted drinking water.Six in 10 lack safely managed sanitation.One in 3 people (2.2 billion) lack access to safe, readily available water.People are already dying from lack of clean water and sanitation and the situation is expected to get worse. The world's population is expected to increase by 2 billion over the next 30 years to almost 10 billion. These factors are going to put an enormous strain on an already fragile water system. The 3 main problems exacerbating the crisis of water scarcity include the lack of sufficient infrastructure, a booming population, and climate change.

The Black Belt Armor Set paired with the Defender Weapons will allow you to soar through much of the game's early sections. Due to its high defense, you can take on the majority of early-game hunts without worrying about having to upgrade and can bump it up to 160, 170, and then 180 when you start hitting a wall. When equipping the complete Black Belt Armor Set, your Defense Stat will be 150, with the ability to upgrade to 180 later. Open Item Box > Manage Equipment > Change Equipment > Select Armor Piece > Black Belt x (Helmet, Mail, Braces, Tassets, or Greaves) So, from here, stop speaking with Senri and head to the Item Box and do the following: Speak To Senri > Add-on Content > Black Belt Armor Set > ClaimĪfter claiming your Black Belt Armor Set, it will appear in your Item Box, conveniently located straight across from Senri. To get this set, head to the game's hub world and speak with Senri the Mailman and do the following: Here's a list of the weapons & armor you can craft or upgrade with Icium.On February 24th of this year, Capcom added Black Belt Armor Set into the game as a free package to help newcomers progress through the base game to prepare for the Sunbreak expansion. As you'd expect for an ice-themed item, it's used on many weapons and armor that have a chilling effect themselves - which of course can be specifically useful against certain monsters. ![]() With the Icium in hand, you can go on to use this useful material to craft and upgrade a bunch of very useful pieces of gear in Monster Hunter Rise. You can simply zip up on high atop the snowy rocks at the border between areas of 8 and 10, and bop that node in order to grab some Icium. While you can filter down and see all of the white mining outcrops on the map, the absolute easiest to reach is just north of the second camp (a subcamp that you'll need to unlock) - on the rocks south of sector 10. While we're recommending going for the White Mining Outcrop Nodes for Icium, it's worth noting that on High Rank there's also a chance for it to drop from Blue Mining Outcrops, too.

They started recording a session each year from 2008 to 2011 in Oslo utilising harmoniums, organs, shruti boxes, oscillators, and computers and accumulated a large pool of material. Lasse Marhaug and Jon Wesseltoft have collaborated in a variety of projects over the years, but started the Tongues of Mount Meru duo back in 2008 as a collaboration to pursue their shared interest in sustained and closely calibrated sounds, and the phenomenological impact they have on the act of listening. Tongues of Mount Meru Naga Mountain 4xCD Box Set A document of pure sonic magic and stunningly organic creativity. Bubbling textures and atonalities, blended with sounds from the natural environment, intermingle with staggering birdsong-alike tonalities and rattling percussive passages, producing striking moments of abstraction that retain a remarkable sense of humanity and ease. While the acoustic practises that underscore Musiques Vertes display a deep resonance with those embarked upon by artists like Akio Suzuki, Toshiya Tsunoda, and Jeph Jerman, the structural resemblance, held deeply within utopian avant-garde principles, falls far closer to experimental electronic works that might have emerged from experimental electronic studios like Groupe de Recherches Musicales or EMS, or subtle object oriented efforts in free improvisation. The Musiques Vertes album is the result of hours of practice and recording by these players, in each case, within the album 11 musical excursions, utilising a series of instructions or games set up by the composer in an attempt to create collective musical exchange, as well as a dialogic exchange between this practice and active listening within a natural environment. Rather than working with professional musicians, he chose to use locals and children he encountered in Aix-en-Provence between 19. In 1980 the Direction de la Musique awarded the composer Jean-Yves Bosseur a grant to start a collective practice of music using the instrument constructed / reconstructed by Armengaud. With their help, she was able to construct 240 instruments, collected in her book “Musiques Vertes”, published in 1978 by Christine Bonneton éditeur, that had long been used for bird calls, dancing, toys of young shepherds and children, and much more, but had been lost to common usage following the First World War. The “Musiques Vertes” project began in South East France during the late 1970s, spearheaded by Christine Armengaud, who was investigating, via elderly people in the region, a long tradition of musical instruments made with organic materials and plants. A student of Henri Pousseur and Karlheinz Stockhausen, as well as a close associate of Knud Viktor, he belonged to the legendary collective Groupe d'Etude et Réalisation Musicale GERM, widely celebrated for their realization of Terry Riley's Keyboard Study 2, issued by BYG / Actuel in 1970. Jean-Yves Bosseur is a relatively obscure figure in the history of the French avant-garde. Utilising handmade instruments constructed from plants and other natural materials, played by a collective of children and untrained musicians, its radically experimental sounds build a revelatory bridge between the avant-garde and ancient forms of folk.

We test using the a custom built system powered by MSI, based on Intel’s Alder Lake platform. Based on my playthrough of the game’s prologue and a few of the quest battles, it is generally representative of the performance you can expect in a battle, though some scenes with a particularly large number of units on screen or those in heavy environments, can see lower performance, but the benchmark is still a good representation of the overall experience and it is very consistent too. This just means certain settings won’t be adjusted if the game deems a GPU to have insufficient VRAM to run those settings, ensuring we have results that are all directly comparable.įor the testing itself, I did opt to use the built-in battle benchmark, just because it gives highly repeatable results. In this article we’re testing both the Ultra and the Medium preset, though I do just want to mention I did all of my benchmarks with the Unlimited Video Memory option enabled. There’s a large number of adjustable graphic settings on the Advanced menu though, which we have come to expect from Total War games, so hopefully that bodes well for overall performance scaling, which we also assess today.

How to Increase Your Prices (This logic also applies to commission “slots”, but not all slots are equal. If you’ve allocated 40 hours of your time per week for commission work, and you’re consistently allocating all 40 of those hours, it’s time to increase your rates. This means you have sufficient demand to justify a price increase. Generally: If you’re utilizing 100% of your allocated time for art, it’s time to increase your rates. Once you have a price list figured out, you will want to occasionally increase your prices.Īrt by Khia. You should do this for every item on your commission price list. If you decided, then your price list entry for this type of commission might look like this: Where is the number of additional characters beyond the first one, is your minimum hourly rate, and is the price of a commission. Now that you have a number in mind, you’re going to want to go through the rest of your price list and make a mental note of how many hours each item will take you to complete.įor example: If a complete illustration of one character with a detailed background takes you 8 hours, and each additional character takes an additional 2 hours, you can setup your pricing as follows: Roughly half of your income will be eaten by taxes (income taxes–including state income taxes if applicable–plus payroll taxes since you’re self-employed as an artist), unless your tax accountant tells you otherwise. Whatever number you landed on, immediately double it. If that seems too high for you, don’t go below $15.
