![]() ![]() No such luck.ĭanielle Panabaker was great, though, particularly in the “directing my own surgery” scene. I almost wondered if the big reveal would be that Killer Frost has actually been in control for weeks/months, and she really is just manipulating poor Julian and everyone else around her until the time is right. They telegraphed it at every turn, like someone in some period drama piece coughing in the first act and saying “oh, it’s nothing,” you know they’re gonna croak before the credits roll. ![]() I knew early on things were going to go very wrong for Caitlin Snow tonight. So couldn’t we have had a more interesting story to get those two key pieces of information out of Abra Kadabra? Couldn’t there have been a more interesting secondary conflict than bringing Gypsy in to screw everyone up? Don’t get me wrong, I think Jessica Camacho has been terrific, but this just felt like the wrong place to deploy her, and the wrong place to try and move the Cisco/Gypsy thing along. But it just seems like the one we’re headed towards, so I’m trying to make my peace with it while I can. I’d rather everyone make it out of this season alive, myself. I’m not sure I’m exactly endorsing this outcome. When we add in the fact that Savitar is likely going to end up being someone we know, adding an additional element of betrayal to the proceedings, that’s gonna hurt even more. And, of course, the fact that Joe’s death will (at least temporarily) cause Iris and Barry to call off their engagement again, well, yeah. Kadabra pointed out that Joe is the only one willing to do “anything” to save his daughter, and you know he’ll happily croak to make sure Iris lives. It has to be someone extraordinarily close to Barry, based on Kadabra’s cryptic “none of them hurt you like Savitar did.” So, it is with a heavy heart that I must prepare myself to bid the fondest of farewells to Joe West at the end of this season. So at this point, the only question is: if Iris isn’t gonna croak, then who is? But as we’ve seen so many times on this show, we know that time is going to make you pay the bill one way or the other. But hoo-boy, it’s starting to look a little threadbare, ain’t it? At this point, I have almost zero doubt that Iris will survive. I’ve been a huge booster of the whole “saving Iris from future events” thing since they sprung it on us around midseason. It just felt like Kadabra was just here to throw a few stones in our heroes’ paths, let everyone run around and ultimately accomplish little/nothing, and talk at each other about the overall plot and how frustrated they are. Although it’s not like the character is broken or off the table forever or anything. Maybe I feel like they wasted the potential of Abra Kadabra (I can’t believe I just typed that). David Dastmalchian was really terrific as Kadabra, too, striking the perfect balance of goofy stage magic based villain and genuine menace. This is a character who could potentially be a season-long big bad if done properly. Abra Kadabra is, despite his paper thin story this week, potentially much more than a villain of the week. ![]() There’s nothing wrong with the basic premise: Barry needs answers from a villain from the future in order to help solve his Savitar problem. The problem is that this episode shouldn’t have been a problem. There was one major event here, and I guess it shouldn’t be discarded, but it just felt like a cheap payoff to make an otherwise inconsequential episode feel important. “Abra Kadabra” was such a thoroughly bland piece of TV that I’m not sure I can get too worked up about it one way or the other. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With realistic graphics and smooth gameplay at the low cost of $15.00, it's the ideal choice if you are in search of a good war game without the blood and gore or waste of gasoline on the trip to GameStop. While there aren't spurts of blood when a soldier is shot or an arm flying half way across the screen when someone hurls a grenade, the combat isn't any less fun than that of a Call of Duty game. The goal of the game is simple: capture the flags and kill anyone who stands in your way. Additionally, every soldier has the opportunity to launch a bombing raid or simply hop in a plane then aim & fire at whatever vehicle or person they find scattered about the island. (I.E: a soldier trying to survive in order to get back to his family) Players shoot, blast, slash and impale infantry as well as mow them to the ground with war tanks or cars.

Once it reaches the surface it should form a blob, with layers that should quickly disappear. If it dribbles instead of running in one continuous stream then the water content is above 20% or it has been adulterated. The spoon testĪnother way of evaluating the quality of honey is by taking some of it (at room temperature) with a spoon and letting it drip on to a flat surface. With time honey can change its color, become darker, which can affect the flavor. Color is not a sign of bad or good quality. The color depends on the floral source the bees were using to make the honey. Honey comes in different colors, from dark brown to light yellow. That makes the honey in the jar look turbid with particles of debris. For the best quality look for the least processed ones, i.e. When looking at a jar, the clearer the honey is the more processed it is. The filtration process leaves pollen inside while removing debris like bee parts, wax, and similar objects. Pollenīest quality honey contains pollen, which is why it does not look clear when you look at the jar. These products may also contain flour, starch, dextrose, preservatives, etc., so be sure to read the label. There are a lot of honey flavored products out there that are basically corn syrup, as well as adulterated honey. Water content and minimal processing are not the only things to keep in mind when buying honey. This lets the honey keep all of its minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins. The best honey is minimally processed, which means it should only be slightly heated up and strained. ProcessingĪside from water content, processing is the thing that should be taken into account when honey quality is in question. ![]() If properly stored honey can be preserved for decades, even centuries. To prevent this you need to store it in an airtight container. However, honey is very hygroscopic, meaning that it pulls moisture out of air, which can start the fermentation process. Premium quality honey has 18% water content or less. The one where bubbles rise to the top faster has greater water content. If you want to compare water content in two different jars of honey (both containers should be at the same temperature) you should turn them upside down. Some purists even say that everything above 14% should not be considered premium quality. Premium quality honeys have water content of 18% or less. When it comes to water content it is one of the main characteristics that signifies the quality of honey. Water content is another important property of honey: it has less than 20% of water, that is why microorganisms cannot grow in honey. ![]() That makes it somewhat sweeter than regular sugar. Honey contains two sugars: fructose and glucose. Honey has some specific characteristics you can look out for, to be sure to get the best honey quality. The flower’s nectar is converted by bees into honey. It is very rare to find honey produced for human nutrition that is made by bees other than honey bees.Ī hive of bees will fly 90,000 miles, the equivalent of three orbits around the earth to collect 1 kg of honey. They are harder to harvest and are less commercial. Honeys can be produced by bumblebees, stingless bees, honey wasps, and other similar insects, however these honeys have different properties and are produced in lower quantities. There are many varieties of honey depending on the bees producing it, but the most common is the one produced by the honey bees (the genus Apis). It has always been considered a healthy food and used for medicinal purposes. In Islam an entire chapter of the Qur’an is titled the Bee. In Buddhism it is an important part in the festival of Madhu Purnima. In Jewish tradition it is a symbol for the new year. In Hinduism it is one of the five elixirs of immortality. As such it has a very special place in many cultures throughout history.įrom prehistoric times through ancient Egypt, India, China, to the Roman Empire and Mayan culture, honey was used as a food, an offering to gods, a cure and even for embalming the dead.

I thought it filters out everything but the objects of the type selected. I think this is a nice visualization and it could be implemented in Apitrace, though I am not sure if per-call metrics can be displayed in such a way.īy the way, you can have a look at what metrics are supported here: Īlso there is a filtering option. What is interesting here – GPU metrics are displayed as separate graphs in the timeline along other data (screens below). Among others there are cpu/gpu frame bounds, gpu usage, DirectX tasks by thread. Trace files can be opened in Platform Analyzer.

Sadly enough, not all of these tools are available on Linux (on linux you have Visual Profiler for CUDA and AMD CodeXL for OpenCL, that is all I’ve found) and not all of them do support OpenGL profiling. I had a look at Intel GPA (as a part of Intel INDE ’15), AMD PerfStudio (3.2.18.0), NVIDIA Nsight (4.6) and CUDA Visual Profiler (7.0).

If it shows non NV’s GPU, that means driver pick some other GPU, please try to force disable that GPU and make sure driver only find NV’s GPU.
