![]() ![]() The gas was burned to evaporate brine and produce salt. They had depths of up to about 800 feet (240 m) and were drilled using bits attached to bamboo poles. The earliest known gas wells were drilled in China in AD 347 or earlier. Han dynasty period bronze oil Lamp in Luoyang Museum, Henan, China In addition, the Chinese were the first to use petroleum as fuel as early as the fourth century BC. In I Ching, one of the earliest Chinese writings cites the use of oil in its raw state without refining was first discovered, extracted, and used in China in the first century BC. ![]() ![]() In China, petroleum was used more than 2000 years ago. Also, Herodotus described a well for bitumen (very thick oil) and oil near Ardericca in Cessia. Herodotus mentioned pitch spring on Zacynthus ( Ionian islands, Greece). This fact was confirmed by Diodorus Siculus. Great quantities of it were found on the banks of the river Issus, one of the tributaries of the Euphrates. In the early 21st century environmental issues regarding global warming from oil and gas (in addition to coal) makes the industry politically controversial.Īccording to Herodotus, more than four thousand years ago natural asphalt was employed in the construction of the walls and towers of Babylon. In the 20th century issues of air pollution led to government regulation. The concern of oil being run out has brought new developments to light such as commercial-scale fracking and the increasing usage of cleaner energy. After the dominance of coal waned in the mid-1950s, oil received significant media coverage and its importance on modern economies increased greatly, being a major factor in several energy crises. When diesel fuel replaced steam engines in warships, control of oil supplies became a factor in military strategy-and played a key role in World War II. The use of the internal combustion engine for automobiles and trucks in the turn of the 20th century was a critical factor in the explosive growth of the industry in the United States, Europe, Middle East and later the rest of the world. Together, these two countries produced 97% of the world's oil over the course of the nineteenth century. While petroleum industries developed in several countries during the nineteenth century, the two giants were the United States and the Russian Empire, specifically that part of it that today forms the territory of independent Azerbaijan. The world's first refineries and modern oil wells were established in the mid-19th century. James Young in 1847 noticed a natural petroleum seepage when he distilled a light thin oil suitable for use as lamp oil, at the same time obtaining a thicker oil suitable for lubricating machinery. Abraham Gesner developed a process to refine a liquid fuel (which he would later call kerosene) from coal, bitumen and oil shale it burned more cleanly and was cheaper than whale oil. One of the earliest instances of this is the refining of paraffin from crude oil. Petroleum's status as a key component of politics, society, and technology has its roots in the coal and kerosene industry of the late 19th century. While the local use of oil goes back many centuries, the modern petroleum industry along with its outputs and modern applications are of a recent origin.

The artist’s professional music career started 1963 when he formed a band called the Wailers (which would eventually become known as Bob Marley & the Wailers), who released their debut album The Wailing Wailers in 1965, which led to a record deal with Island Records. ![]() While Marley might have passed away super young, he did some pretty incredible things in the course of his 36-year lifespan, which also included being an activist. With today being what would have been his birthday, we’re taking a deeper look at all of the Bob Marley albums, in order. When it comes to the topic of all time great musicians that left us far too early, Bob Marley is rightfully on any and every list for his legendary contributions to music and the entertainment industry as a whole. ![]() ![]() This can help simplify the spatial layout of your screens, cameras and other components. You can also configure specific named transforms in 3D space, called scene_nodes, which can act as parents for one or more components. By default, the parent of all objects is the VR space origin: an arbitrary point in 3D world space where VR space is considered to start. Each object's position and rotation is relative to that object's parent. ![]() Many of the components that you configure in this file have defined positions (and often rotations) in virtual 3D space. You use these string IDs when one configuration section needs to refer to another. The structure of the nDisplay configuration file is directly tied to the different types of components it uses to render the visualization.Įach different type of component that you configure has its own line in the file, and is identified by a string ID that you assign. If not, you can find these files in the Unreal Engine installation folder, under Templates/TP_nDisplayBP/Content/ExampleConfigs. If you've created your Project from the nDisplay template, you'll find these files in your Project folder, under Content/ExampleConfigs. Log in or refresh the M/Monit UI and now you should be seeing a host.Ĭool! Isn’t it? But what if you have to monitor 100 servers do you repeat these steps in every server? Of course, there are other soft wares for that.The best way to get started understanding the nDisplay configuration file, and creating your own, is to start from the example configurations provided by the nDisplay plugin. # set mmonit un-comment it and replace the I.P with the host where M/Monit is installed, reload the monit Now, a small configuration change in monitrc of the host will make sure that M/Monit will monitor the host injected with monit. When logged in, one can see that there won’t be any hosts. M/Monit UIĭefault credentials would be Username: admin & Password: swordfish ![]() You can be able to see the UI of M/Monit now. Go to your browser and type in localhost:8080 You can download the tar here and unpack it.īy default, M/Monit runs at 8080 port. All we need to do is a small configuration change in the monitrc file after installing M/Monit. It monitors all the servers injected with Monit. We inject monit on all the six servers but how do you monitor? It is taxing to type in the i.p of all the servers and port numbers. Till now we have seen monit on a single host. ![]() M/Monit is a centralised monitor which monitors all the hosts which are injected with monit. So, we can include the directory of choice in the monitrc file (at the bottom). We have placed the file postgres in the path /etc/monit/conf-enabled/ to avoid unnecessary complexity in the monitrc. Active mode in monit is about restarting the service if it is not active and the opposite goes for passive mode. ![]() Monit can monitor files, directories, resources. Stop program = "/usr/bin/sudo service airflow-scheduler stop" Generic overview Start program = "/usr/bin/sudo service airflow-scheduler start" What if it’s a custom service and doesn’t have a pid file? Does that mean monit doesn’t monitor that? No! Monit can also monitor a custom service under the condition that the process name is unique. So far smooth right? Monit actually monitors using the pid of a service. You can see the process status for postgresql service. You cant start, stop, restart and disable/enable monitoring postgresql. Now, you can see postgresql being monitored. Stop program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql stop" Start program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql start" Now, let us suppose that we want to monitor Postgresql service.Ĭreate a new file with name postgresql and paste the snippet.Ĭheck process postgresql with pidfile /var/run/postgresql/9.6-main.pid ![]() ![]() Players who pre-ordered the game on PlayStation Network were able to download the original Genesis game, as well as a theme and custom avatars.

The game was developed by Sega Studios Australia, their last game before the studio was shut down, under the supervision of the original game's director, Emiko Yamamoto. The Castle of Illusion remake was teased by Sega in April 2013 and was announced later that month. ![]() Obstacles include enchanted forests, rebellious toys and mazes of living books. Plot Īs in the 1990 original, the game casts players in the role of Mickey Mouse who must fight his way through the Castle of Illusion to rescue Minnie Mouse from the evil witch Mizrabel who wants to steal her youth and beauty. Throughout the game, players can find playing cards and chilli peppers that can be used to unlock various outfits for Mickey. The castle itself, which was merely a transition in the original game, can now be fully explored, with new areas opened up by collecting numerous gems littered around each level. Levels are re-envisioned versions of the original game's levels now separated into three acts, featuring new layouts, puzzles and enemies, as well as enhanced boss fights. He can also collect projectiles which he can throw at long distance enemies. Mickey's main offensive ability is his bounce attack, which he can use to bounce on enemies and reach higher areas. ![]() See also: Gameplay of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouseįollowing the same style of gameplay as the original Mega Drive/Genesis title, presented in high-definition 3D graphics, the game is largely played as a side-scrolling platformer like its predecessor, although some sections allow Mickey Mouse to move in multiple directions, such as puzzle segments. ![]() ![]() If your pet's neck size is very close to the maximum of a certain size range and you plan to get a slide tag with the collar - to avoid any fit issues, we recommend ordering the next size up, or adding a note in the "Order Notes" box (located on the Cart page before checkout) to let us know your pet's exact neck size so our studio can make any necessary adjustments as needed. We'll take care of it as long as you give us the measurements! Kittenįits very small pups (measure to be sure)įits Beagles, Jack Russell Terriers, PugsĪ Note About Adding "Slide" Tags to Collars: If ordering a personalized slide tag name plate to be put on your collar, the length of the tag will reduce the maximum length of the collar by 1.5 inches. If your pet is in-between sizes, select the closest size from the dropdown menu, but be sure to provide your pet's exact neck size measurements in the "Special Instructions" message box (on the Cart page before checkout) so that our seamstresses can make any necessary custom sizing adjustments to ensure an optimal fit for your pet. ![]() Often, customers may not realize their pet is smaller (or larger) than average prior to measuring! ![]() Tip: A simple piece of string or ribbon (or equivalent flexible household item) can be used to assess the collar length your pet needs - then measure the amount of string you used, laid out flat alongside a straight ruler. We strongly recommend measuring your pet's neck before ordering, if this is your first time. The numbers listed below represent the shortest & longest adjustable length range for the neck size options we offer. ![]() |
