![]() These are the first cases of EVD confirmed in Guinea since the 2014–2016 West Africa outbreak, the largest in history, was declared over. On February 14, 2021, the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Guinea announced that cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) had been confirmed in N’Zérékoré Prefecture, a forested rural region in southeast Guinea. Reported number of deaths and percentage of fatal cases: 12 (52.2%).The outbreak was declared over on May 3, 2021. Sequencing of samples suggests that cases in this outbreak were linked to cases in the area during the 2018–2020 outbreak and likely resulted from persistent infection in a survivor that led to either a relapse or sexual transmission of the virus. North Kivu was previously affected by EVD during the 2018–2020 Ebola outbreak, the largest in DRC’s history, which was declared over on June 25, 2020. On February 7, 2021, the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) announced that a case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) had been confirmed in Biena Health Zone, North Kivu Province. Reported number of deaths and percentage of fatal cases: 6 (50%). ![]() This outbreak, the 13 th EVD outbreak in DRC, was declared officially over on December 16, 2021, 42 days after the last confirmed patient was released from treatment. ![]() Sequencing data showed a link to the 2018-2020 outbreak in the same region, suggesting this outbreak was likely caused by a persistent infection in an EVD survivor. Subsequent cases were confirmed in the same health zone and three probable cases were retrospectively identified from September 2021. On October 8, the Ministry of Health in DRC announced an outbreak of EVD in Beni Health Zone, North Kivu Province.

About BRL-CAD For more than 20 years, BRL-CAD has been the primary tri-service solid modeling CAD system used by the U.S. ![]() The entire BRL-CAD package is distributed in source code form. BRL-CAD includes an interactive geometry editor, parallel ray-tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis, path-tracing for realistic image synthesis, network distributed framebuffer support, image-processing and signal-processing tools. I’d love to hear from anyone advocating BREP as to whether CSG is really a problem, as well as on the subject of integrating BRL-CAD models with other types of CAD and 3D models ( Nurbana looks like an interesting lead, though there isn’t much written about it).The BRL-CAD package is a powerful Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) solid modeling system BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform open source solid modeling system that includes interactive geometry editing, high-performance ray-tracing for rendering and geometric analysis, image and signal-processing tools, a system performance analysis benchmark suite, libraries for robust geometric representation, with more than 20 years of active development. I haven’t fully figured out if this was the tool I was looking for all along, but I am starting to wonder. I’m downloading a binary now to try out-maybe I’ll actually write a review after I’ve had a chance to play with it. BRL-CAD has definitely been around for awhile! (Original caption: “Mike Muuss working with BRL-CAD on the PDP-11/70”)īRL-CAD 7.8.0 is available as a source distribution from Sourceforge, along with pre-compiled binaries for Linux, BSD, Solaris, Irix, OS X, and Windows. CSG, because it models the interior of objects, is good for simulation models involving electromagnetic or other mass properties of materials. BRL-CAD’s MGED is the main tool for modelling. As a system for space development (the main focus of my TFME series), I’m starting to think I should’ve written a more in-depth analysis of how to use BRL-CAD, and I suppose I will have to do that now. If you want to model the solid body properties of a system, then you need a model that defines the interior composition. I hadn’t thought of that, but it’s obviously true. This gives BRL-CAD the capability to be “more than skin deep” and build objects with real-world materials, densities, and thicknesses so that analysts can study physical phenomena such as ballistic penetration and thermal, radiative, neutron, and other types of transport. While polygonal and boundary representation (B-rep) modeling often focuses on just the surfaces of objects, CSG modeling focuses on the entire volume and content of objects. Accordingly, developers have found CSG modeling to be the best approach in terms of model accuracy, storage efficiency, precision, and speed of computational analysis. Although BRL-CAD has been used for a wide variety of engineering and graphics applications, the package’s primary purpose continues to be the support of (1) ballistic and (2) electromagnetic analyses. However, the notes in the BRL-CAD Overview make a pretty strong case for why I should love CSG (and I have to admit that CSG seems more intuitive to me): Given these facts, I was quick to dismiss BRL-CAD as incapable of representing a large amount of modern CAD data, and therefore somewhat questionable as a common interchange tool. (Original caption: “Stryker ICV w/ Slat Armor rendered with ADRT/RISE”) BRL-CAD is a CSG-based CAD system developed by the US Army Research Lab. The program has been under continuous development during all that time, although it was only a few years ago that it was released under a free license. ![]() This is at least partly because BRL-CAD traces its origins back to 1979 at the US Army Research Laboratory. The more popular system these days is called “Boundary Representation” (BREP) which is what you see in Blender, for example. I advocated building something on top of Blender, which may still be a decent idea.īut I’m starting to think I gave really short shrift to the US Army Research Lab’s BRL-CAD, which has recently released a new version (7.8.0) with support for Windows and a number of user interface and modeling tool improvements.īRL-CAD’s design is based on the idea of “Constructive Solid Geometry” (CSG), a CAD representation model which has become less stylish in recent years. It seems like it’s been almost half a year since I wrote TFME4: Tools of the Trade in which I explored the serious options for 3D CAD on GNU/Linux, and didn’t think we had much. ![]() “Play That Funky Music”, based on the 1976 hit of the same name, was the A-side, and “Ice Ice Baby”, based on the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity chant in the film School Daze spoken over Queen’s “Under Pressure”, was the B-side.Ī DJ at an FM station in Georgia liked the B-side better and played it on air.

Its design is so unique, its look appealing and its meaning to me looks to represent a certain type of connectivity of everything, infinity and immortality. To me the Valknut is one of the most powerful viking symbols. The Valknut symbol modernly can be seen in many artworks around the world, in tattoos and jewelry. While the exact meaning of Valknut is unsure, however it is believed and indicated to symbolise the connectedness of the nine worlds represented in the vikings world.Īnother belief for the Valknut symbol meaning was as a aid for reincarnation, cyclical relationships and in talismans to ward against evil.Ībove – Odin with Sleipnir – Valknuts seen beneath the horse. In many images it can be seen as a representation of Odin and the afterlife. The Valknut is a powerful old Norse viking occult symbol represented by the three interlocking triangles. Whereas the borromean Valknut symbol to the right shows three separate, but still connected triangles showing what appears to be a bond on three levels. The Valknut universal symbol as can be seen below is very unique in that it entwines the three triangles in such a way that it is very similar to a symbol of infinity. Each one can be seen in stone artwork, historic documents or even on old norse weapons. You choose.Two main formations of Valknut can be seen in History : either as Borromean (to the right below), or unicursal (to the left below). Thus, a large Valknut or "knot of the occi" would be better on the back, on the calf or on the chest than on your hand. Indeed, you can choose a hidden or exposed locations include neck, ankles, thigh, chest, while more exposed locations are wrist, arm, forearm, hand, calf, etc. We will talk about it What location for my viking triangle tattoo?īefore wondering the location would be ideal for a Viking triangle tattoo, it will first be necessary to define the size of the tattoo that you covet. You can also choose the location of the tattoo. It goes without saying that you can give it personal meaning. In tattoos, it is most often used to honor a close friend or a deceased relative. Warriors wore this "knot of slain warriors" as if to pay homage to their loved ones who died in battle and facilitate their departure. This is also why we find on the graves of Vikings, this symbol which represented a kind of lucky charm. It is therefore intimately linked to the god Odin, to warriors, and to death at the same time as it is considered a symbol of reincarnation, a symbol of protection of deceased souls against evil. Find other viking tattoos here like viking crow tattoos and viking bracelet tattoos is related to travel between worlds. The Valknut therefore symbolizes the perpetual interconnection between soul, body and spirit, these three entities existing in the three eternally linked dimensions of past, present and future. ![]() However, the number 9 nine is only the product of 3 by itself. This should be obvious, since each triangle has 3 vertices, the number of points amounts to 9, which is equivalent to the nine worlds of Norse mythology. For those who do not know it, the number three represents on the one hand the three levels of sacredness which are the soul, the body and the spirit and on the other hand the three temporal dimensions which are the present (Verdandi), the past (Urd) and the future should also be noted that the three triangles composing the Viking symbol Valknut are also linked to the number nine. It is linked to the symbolism of the number 3 in Norse mythology. The creation of this symbol is attributed to the god Odin, god of wisdom, poetry and war. What is the meaning of the viking triangle tattoo?Ĭomposed of a triad of separate, yet intertwined (or nested if you prefer) triangles, the Valknut seems to be one of the oldest symbols in Norse mythology. Everything you are looking for is right in the next few paragraphs. The most important thing is to know more or less exactly the meaning of this symbol for the Vikings, but also when it is used in you want to have this information before you decide to get this Viking triangle tattoo, you are on the right page.

If this does not work you are advised to invest in the seven inch version’. The cover bears the legend: ‘This record may not play on automatic decks. There were experiments with odd sizes in the ’80s from labels like A&M with a 5″ from the band Squeeze and Stiff, who, bizarrely, produced a 6″ version of Jona Lewie’s ‘Big Shot Momentarily’ as well as a 7″ and 12″. They spun at 33rpm, were sold at counters or from vending machines and retailed at about 50 cents. The late ’60s saw a brief fad for 4″ Pocket Discs in the States or ‘Hip Pocket Records’ as one company marketed them – 3.5 minutes of music that could be carried in your pocket or sent in an envelope without breaking. As far back as the ’50s there were 6″ and 8″ children’s stories and nursery rhymes that spun at 78rpm, sometimes on splatter or sunburst coloured vinyl. In the 1930s, before vinyl as we know it existed, some transcription discs were a whopping 16″s, cut onto aluminium and used to broadcast radio shows.

Having let us into his peerless collection of flexi-discs we were blown away by the variety of weird and wonderful records that remained largely undocumented in his impeccably organised shelves.

First, it offers us the ability to create prebuilt, reusable components such as Hero Banners, Call-To-Action (CTA) blocks, FAQs, and more that can be inserted into any Drupal entity and customized in infinite ways. For more details on what Paragraphs can do for you and your Drupal site, check out its project page. Best of all, it allows developers to create reusable components for end-users to have far more control over their content than ever before. It is a huge upgrade over Field Collections and provides far more features and flexibility. It eliminates the need for putting all your content in a what-you-see-is-what-you-get ( WYSIWYG) field. Paragraphs is a powerful Drupal module that offers seemingly unlimited possibilities with regards to content creation. So What’s With All This Paragraphs Business Anyway? But before we get too far along, let me explain what Paragraphs is and why it’s important to our components. In this blog post, I wanted to share some of my experiences working with Paragraphs in the context of components including some challenges I encountered and how I was able to solve them. We started out using the D8 Blocks System and a contrib module called Paragraphs as the centerpieces to that project. That goal led to the creation of the Bounteous D8 Components project. The intention is that this module could be used on any client project to help cut down on our development time of features that are common across most projects with little to no variation from one version to the next. One of the ways that our Drupal practice has accomplished that goal is by setting out to create a module of reusable code. Drupal Paragraphs, with some heavy modifications, helped organize our components project, enhancing our ability to quickly utilize shared components with amazing results for end-users in terms of flexibility and content creation.Īt Bounteous, we are always striving to improve our development processes.
