![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Construction EcoServices’ commitment to system success doesn’t stop when the installation is complete.Įnhanced Metal Removal Where Industry Meets the Waterĭeveloped by the US Navy, FocalPointEMR is a Green Stormwater Infrastructure system that eliminates harmful metals, nutrients, TSS, oil and grease from industrial site runoff. The potential failure for most LID/GI BMP’s is highest within the first year and success or failure is often dependent on whether the system is being properly inspected and maintained. The first year’s maintenance is included in all FocalPoint HPMBS installations to ensure that the system is given the best opportunity to succeed, and low cost annual maintenance contracts are available. Maintenance In Mind – Simple & Cost Effective ![]() To ensure the highest level of effectiveness, Convergent specifies that the FocalPoint HPMBS be tested within 90 days of commissioning, but no more than 270 days and we recommend the system be tested annually thereafter to provide ongoing quality assurance. This hydraulic conductivity test procedure measures the entire media profile under saturated conditions to produce a reliable and accurate result. Performance Guaranteed with Post-Installation Verification We guarantee post-construction performance and we make sure your client gets it. Due to it’s small scale, FocalPoint HPMBS can be capped and sealed, allowing installation to take place early in the project construction cycle when other site utilities are installed. Solving this problem removes one of the most problematic issues in bioretention. The ‘Cap & Seal’ protection ensures a viable system regardless of the construction sequencing by sealing off the media bed until the contributing drainage area is stabilized. Protecting the FocalPoint HPMBS during construction is of the utmost importance. ‘Cap & Seal’ Protection During Ongoing Construction Activity The first year’s maintenance is included in all FocalPoint HPMBS installations to ensure that the system is given the best opportunity to succeed, and low cost annual maintenance contracts are available.ĭue to the efficiency of the FocalPoint media, scale is in its favor. Fulfilling equal requirements, a FocalPoint solution will use 30x less space than a detention pond solution Subsequently, more land can be developed, increasing long-term revenue and property value.Īlthough the price per square foot of FocalPoint is many times higher than traditional bioretention, the efficiency of the FocalPoint High Performance Media makes the system more than 30 times smaller, per acre treated, resulting in a 50% cost savings per acre treated. In addition, when used in conjunction with complimentary stormwater management solutions, such as bioswales, permeable pavement, and raingardens, FocalPoint creates the ability for developers, architects and engineers to decrease a property’s surface storage volume requirements and increase lot yield. FocalPoint provides unlimited application opportunities for new construction and redevelopment. These systems are also used for downspout planters, replacing underground treatment systems and are an easy retrofit for failed traditional bioretention systems. It enables implementation of green streets using urban sidewalk planters which because of the small footprint can support designs with large trees. The system can be used in combination with traditional LID BMPs such as grassy swales and vegetated depressions. The FocalPoint’s modular underdrain, unlike a traditional perforated pipe, not only supports the flow rate of the media, but can be expanded beyond the footprint of the media bed to provide unlimited underground detention, infiltration and/or storage for water reuse/infiltration.įocalPoint HPMBS gives designers maximum flexibility in meeting both water quality and volume requirements. With rigorous quality assurance standards and post-construction in-situ performance verification, FocalPoint HPMBS provides guaranteed performance. The modular FocalPoint HPMBS is a complete, integrated system with a demanding specification that insures functionality, performance and maintainability. FocalPoint High-Performance Modular Biofiltration System (HPMBS) is a scalable biofiltration system which combines the efficiency of high flow rate engineered soils with the durability and modularity of a highly pervious expandable underdrain/storage/infiltration system. ![]()

![]() ![]() There’s full voice acting, faster loading times, more AI customisation and an improved camera. The whole game looks great, even in 4K, though it is surprisingly taxing on the GPU hardware. There have been a number of other key enhancements to Pillars of Eternity II. For players new to the genre it can feel like the tyranny of choice, but I know that its catnip to the core audience for these cRPG revivals. Want to choose your specific playing style that caters to exactly how you want to shape your character? (before you’ve played any of the game and know how this may affect your playthrough? Want to choose from half a dozen dramatically different HUD options, all yours. Want to customise your avatar? No problem. There’s also customisation at every single turn in this game. The real time with pause combat can be extensively tweaked through a huge myriad of customisation options, which is great for those who know exactly what they like. There are a range of difficulty options to cater to how you want to play, that allow you to dial down the role that combat plays in the experience of your many tens of hours in this world. Beyond the (in my opinion) mediocre combat I found it was the writing that kept me interested in this game. This is a game for hardcore fantasy fans, and the excellent writing will do much to endear itself to this audience. Fortunately most things you need to know about are helpfully highlighted in the text box, letting you click through for an explanation on what that battle might have been or why the person you’re talking to is important. It can at times get in its own way, with sentences full of places, people and events meaningless without remembering every small interaction in both the previous and this game. This is world-building in the best sense, and feels like it has its own backstory and history much larger than the two games in this universe so far. ![]() And Pillars of Eternity II delivers in a hugely deep world where every consequence of every conversation has been carefully thought through. Good writing not in just terms of technical accomplishment but also in the game’s ability to build a realistic, believable, and perhaps most important a consistent lore that makes the world you find yourself in like a place that’s existed for thousands of years. Good writing is essential to games like this. You are given a ship to pursue Eothas and there your journey starts, with you waking from your near death experience. But a mysterious power has offered you your life back, in return for a covenant that you hunt down the god as he walks among the Deadfire Archipelago, leaving only destruction in his wake and in search of only what he know what. The god Eothas has awoken below your castle, destroying it and almost killing you. Pillars of Eternity II is a true sequel, taking place soon after the end of the first game. In almost every direction this game is expansive, from its thousands of lines of voice over dialogue, to combat options, to HUD tweaks, to fantastically deep lore, Pillars of Eternity II is a lot of game. Like all games in this genre, Pillars of Eternity II is a massive game. So Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire has the difficult task in standing out from the now busy crowd, and making its own mark on this venerable genre, while still maintaining everything that made it great in the first place. ![]() But there’s competition, with Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2, Torment: Tides of Numenera, Wasteland 2, let alone developer Obsidian’s own Tyranny. The first Pillars of Eternity was a key part of this revival, and still stands, along with its significant expansions, as one of the best. If it wasn’t clear already, cRPGs are back.ĭriven partly by crowdfunding, nostalgia for classics such as Baldur’s Gate II and a market that for many years left cRPG fans wanting, there has been a drive to resurrect the genre. ![]() ![]() As of Janua bachelor’s degree is required for admission to an RNFA program.CNOR requires at least two years of experience in perioperative nursing.

This means that only the Bungeecord server can access those servers, and noone outside the network. One of the ways to protect your server from UUID spoofing, is by hosting all sub servers locally. Here's a list of some of the clients that has the UUID spoof feature: Some modified hacked clients has a UUID spoof feature built in. Read more about the handshake packet at: Īll player data are bound to players UUID which means you'll have the same permissions, rank, inventory items etc. In the spoofed UUIDv4 field you put in the UUID of an operator on the server. This can be used to make you roughly untraceable. ![]() address field can be spoofed to any IP-address you want (yes even '0.0.0.0' and '127.0.0.1'). AnalysisĪs mentioned, all sub servers are in offline mode, which means Mojang doesn't check your username and session ID when logging on to the server, and because of this, you can log into the server using any user's UUID you want by modifying the handshake packet sent when logging into the server. Online mode means there's an authentication process on login, to make sure players are using valid sessions (accounts they logged into). Offline mode means no Mojang session authentication on login, which means you can log into the server using any username you want (sometimes even usernames with characters like $, #, ? etc.). The proxy is the only server that is in online mode by default to make sure players can't login using cracked accounts (accounts that doesn't exist or has an invalid session). ![]() The sub servers has to be in offline mode in order to make the Bungeecord system work. To understand how UUID spoofing works, we need to take a look at how Bungeecord works.Ī Bungeecord network consists of a proxy server and sub servers. In the real world, we have the same identification system to identify individuals called SSN (Social Security Number). UUID stands for "Unique User IDentifier" which is the ID used to identify a player. This exploit is one of the most used methods to gain administrator privileges on vulnerable Minecraft networks. UUID spoofing was first discovered in early 2013, and is now a well-known Bungeecord vulnerability - mainly abused to grief servers. ![]() ![]() ![]() So to figure out if your connectivity issues are due to your ISP, your wireless connection or a local router issue running a WiFi Test will give you the insights you're looking for. Most of the devices on your home network today are not connected with a wired connection anymore. If you need the very best broadband available Fibre Pro combines top-tier connection with the fastest speeds.Running a WiFi Speed Test is the right solution for most people if they encounter connectivity issues as they are usually internet speed related. Fibre Pro (peak average download speed of 850 Mbps) Pure fibre is faster and more reliable than VDSL and comes with dedicated capacity for multiple devices to connect at once - ideal for families. You'll get higher speeds if you live within a kilometre of the cabinet or exchange.

What is a good download speed?ĭifferent connections and cable types (copper, fibre, wireless) carry data at different speeds, so a good download speed will depend on which of these connections you have at home. Internet services where it's essential for data to travel in near real-time are particularly sensitive to high rates of jitter. You'll notice high jitter during internet video and voice calls when the connection momentarily stutters or breaks up. At other times networks (fibre less so) get congested with so much traffic that it becomes difficult to smooth out the flow of data. Networking devices on the internet are usually smart enough to account for jitter and smooth out the rate of data packet transfer, so you won't notice any disruption to your broadband experience. If the rate of delay between those packets becomes irregular or increases then your jitter value will go up. These packets usually move at a regular rate (think: frames per second) and are stitched back together on the destination computer into whatever they started off as - perhaps an image, email, video or voice call. Learn more: How to ping a computer or website Jitterĭata is transmitted across the internet as a series of packets - sort of like the individual frames of a celluloid film strip. Online gamers are especially keen to see low latency to ensure they experience fast, smooth game-play and can keep up with other players on fast broadband connections. Ping is sometimes referred to as latency, which in computer terms means the time (or delay) it takes for data to move from one device to another. A typical ping rate across the same city should be lower than 20ms, while between cities you'd expect to see ping values between 30-60ms, and between continents that figure can climb to 150-200ms. The Chorus Speed Test should automatically select a test server that is close to you, so you can expect a low ping rate. If that other computer is far away or the network is busy then it will take longer to receive a response and the ping value will be high. Ping is a basic yet effective tool for checking connections between two computers or devices on a network.Īs the name suggests, ping sends a signal out to another computer and measures in milliseconds how long it takes to receive a response (for the maritime experts out there, it's a similar principle to sonar!). ![]() Learn more: How to run a broadband speed test Ping So the more megabits per second you see in your speed test results the stronger your connection.ĭon't confuse megabits (Mb) with megabytes (MB)! Megabits are usually used to talk about the speed data travels, while megabytes refer to the size of a file or the storage capacity. That's because the things we like doing on the internet - like streaming movies, TV and music, and playing games - require lots of information to move quickly from the internet to our computer, device or TV. The faster you can download and upload data, the more enjoyable your internet experience will be.
