Abandoned building6/1/2023 Well, nowadays the tourism scene has definitely exploded and the city centre has gone through a full-on gentrification process. Then things started getting better with the rise of tourism. I remember growing up in the 90’s and the historic centre was a no-go area, where the humbler, lower-class families had to live door-to-door with prostitutes, addicts and drug dealers. Time Travel Turtle was a guest of the Porto and Northern Portugal Tourism Association but the opinions, over-written descriptions and bad jokes are his own.Īs a Porto local, reading your post based on a visit that happened just 7 years ago made me realize how quickly the city changed. But together, the city has not lost its heart. Still, each of these abandoned buildings may lack meaning for now. It’s just a bit sad to see the reality of the present and the challenges which the city faces. My time in Porto has been wonderful and I’ve enjoyed what it has had to offer – a friendly social scene, beautiful views along the river, and a glimpse into the heights of Portugal’s past. Thankfully, in the meantime, there are still plenty of reasons to visit. It will be a long effort, though, in the current climate. It is getting support from philanthropic organisations which will help fix up the buildings at no cost to the owners, but in a way that will be beneficial for the whole economy. One local group called Arrebita, which is trying to bring renewal to the urban area says the mass abandonment is “impacting everything from its urban identity and safety to the management of infrastructures and living standards, especially of those already most deprived”.Īrrebita is working on a project to develop innovative ways to regenerate the structures in a way that helps the whole community and brings back the energy Porto once had. The effects on the city have been described as “ominous” by some of the residents, although it’s hard to gauge as a visitor. So the buildings just sit there and slowly succumb to the combination of time and neglect. It costs too much to restore, it is too much of a loss to sell, it’s not even economically sensible to just maintain. They are beautiful structures, evidence of the care and respect that was once here, but now just toxic assets. Built in the 19 th century, it was where the merchants and the trade unions would come to do their business and sort out their disputes.īut today, from the windows on the upper level, you can look out and see the husks of the abandoned buildings.Ībout one in every five buildings in central Porto is abandoned and derelict at the moment. The elegant and impressive Stock Exchange Palace in the centre of the city is a reminder of what once was. The latest census shows that in the past decade, the centre of the city has lost a third of its population. You can still visit the active cellars of the large companies like Taylors and see how the wine has been made for centuries.īut, although it is a successful business and a pleasant place for a tour and a tasting, it does not an entire economy support.Īs the national finances of Portugal have hit rocky times, business has become more centralised in Lisbon, and Porto has suffered. Porto was once an epicentre of trade and production – it was produce like fruit, nuts and olive oils that were popular in the Middle Ages.Īnd then it was the eponymous Port wine. But behind the colourful and active displays is a community of dereliction.Ī bust has followed a boom. But together, a grand image taking people off the street and inside the creation for a minute.Īll through the streets of Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city, these tiled mosaics bring life to the roads, the pathways, and the squares.

Used as Tmax.ĭesired #of iterations Delta T Expected error in x component of radiusġ. Orbit period of moon is taken to be 2416890 sec. Sorry for the listing rather than a binary. In the complete model I’m building on a PC, I’m looking at errors in functions of order of magnitude jumps in delta time, so I’m doing the same thing here. RE this little test program, what it’s for: it’s a really stripped down simple Newtonian lunar orbit program meant to check on the errors in magnitudes (mostly of the radius vector between earth and moon) as a function of how fine the delta times used. (I Realize I'm way outside of normal use case envelope, but don't believe I'm misusing the product.) Approx 80 hours in, reset, loss of program, data. Started a second test at at 10E8 iterations. Executed completely in 84 minutes with expected results. Re-entered the Simple Orbit test program. HP41c(v,x) same program runs to completion (has run more iterations but requires weeks, AC power adapter precision not good enough). Post crash (reset) battery indicator shows all bars (near 100% charge).Ĭalc is on fan-cooled bench, never gets warm (don't think? thermal shutdown is at play)ĭM41x same program runs to completion (though precision is not good enough).įree 42s (IPad) same program has run up to 10 billion iterations, ie delta time = 0.000241689, (takes weeks and precision is not good enough). Then.eventually, it does reset, screen shows:Ĭalc is USB connected, known good cable, known good USB power supply. When calc dies, memory is lost so I don't know these times exactly.Īs program runs, I periodically monitor intermediate outputs-all values reasonable, no warnings, no indications of impending reset. What happens is program runs for several hours, usually up to accumulated time of maybe 1,500,000 simulated seconds, or about 650,000 iterations. In this instance, intention is to run 1 million iterations. (Program is 111 lines long, has some intermediate outputs position, velocity vectors stored in registers). Oribit period = 2,416,890 (s) (to use as max time)Įnd loop when accumulated time > orbital time Vinit = 1082 (m/s, velocity of moon at perigee) Rinit = 363,228,900 (meters, perigee of lunar orbit) I'm doing a numerical solution because this is part of a n-body problem solution for which, of course, there is no closed-form simple analytic solution. The program is a numerical solution to a lunar orbit. Some of these platforms are not appropriate due to limited precision, excessive calculation times. Other platforms that run the program fine include Free42s (on IPad), DM41x, wp34s, and HP41c. I have a program that runs fine on many RPN platforms but causes the DM42 to reset and lose memory after several hours.

Kirby kine6/1/2023 When certain enemies are swallowed, Kirby will gain their ability, such as ice breath or the ability to turn into stone. At this point, Kirby can shoot them out as a star (causing damage to anything in its path), or simply swallow them. When Kirby inhales an enemy or object, it remains in his mouth. When food is inhaled, it is automatically swallowed and will heal Kirby if he has any damage. Kirby can then indefinitely inhale, and if an enemy, object, or food is in range, Kirby will eat it. To inhale anything, the player must hold down the B button. Inhaling objects, enemies, and food is the trademark ability of Kirby's. When the air is released, Kirby will exhale a puff of air, which can be used to damage enemies or destroy blocks. At any time when Kirby has inhaled air, he can exhale by either landing on the ground or you can also release it yourself. By continuously pushing the jump button, Kirby can reach any height (unless something prevents him from reaching that height). Flight involves inhaling air (Up button), followed with the press of the jump button which will make Kirby fly. Kirby's basic abilities include running, jumping, flight, swimming, and inhaling. Losing all lives gives the player a game over. If all of his health is lost, or he falls off the bottom of the screen, the player loses a life. Kirby can recover lost health by eating food. If Kirby touches an enemy, touches a dangerous obstacle, or is hit by an enemy's attack, Kirby will lose one bar of health (out of six total health points). These obstacles range from pits to enemies. However, a variety of obstacles lie in his path. Kirby is able to walk, swim, and fly throughout a variety of levels, using several allies and enemy powers in order to reach the goal at the end of each level.
