If you’re saving a file and trying to decide whether to save as a PNG or a GIF, try both to see which gives your image more clarity and a smaller file size and pick the format that gives you the best result. GIFs are special because they are the format that allows animation ( GIPHY, anyone?). ![]() There is a lot of overlap between GIFs and PNG-8 formats. So why not use them for everything? Their file sizes can be HUGE (but we’ll talk about how to compress these later). PNG-24 images are a godsend – they can save complex images in JPG-like quality WITH a transparent background. PNG-8 offers a smaller file size but limits you to a max of 256 colors, and a questionable transparency option (PNG-8 transparent images usually display jagged, ugly edges). If you’re saving a file for web out of Photoshop, there are two PNG formation options: PNG-8 and PNG-24. PNG files are great for logos, vector artwork, solid colored shapes, or any image where you need transparency.

If you think anyone is going to download a 120MB anything from your site (unless it’s actually a huge software package), I’ve got some bad news for you: they won’t.Īfter seeing one too many websites loading in a 3.0 MB full width background image, I wanted to take a moment to talk about preparing digital assets, specifically images (PNG, JPG, GIF), for the web. In the end, print file sizes wind up being quite large (I’ve sent a 120MB multi-page catalog file to a printer before). Print files require high-resolution photographs (generally 300 dpi, or dots per inch), outlined text, bleeds for edge-to-edge color, uncompressed images, transparency settings, all sorts of crazy stuff. Preparing files for print is incredibly different than preparing them for availability on the web. This guide will show you step-by-step how to optimize images for web using both JPG and PNG formats. These files need to be clear, appropriately sized, and most importantly, small (as measured by kilobytes, not pixels). Saving a JPG for Web | Saving a PNG for WebĪs a graphic designer in mid-2016, most completed client projects wind up in digital format – graphics for the website, PDFs for download, social graphics, data sheets, brochures – rather than being sent to a printer.

![]() Most slots have blocks, but not necessarily all (i.e. Under proof-of-stake, slots occur precisely every 12 seconds, each of which is an opportunity for a validator to publish a block. Historically, on proof-of-work, the target was to have a new block every ~13.3 seconds. Both of these changes slightly, but not in a way that users will notice. The ability for anyone to run their own node is absolutely essential to maintaining the decentralization of the Ethereum network.Ī transaction's "speed" can be measured in a few ways, including time to be included in a block and time to finalization. Running a node is immensely valuable for Ethereum and gives added benefits to any individual running one, such as improved security, privacy and censorship resistance. Running a non-block-producing node is possible for anyone under either consensus mechanism (proof-of-work or proof-of-stake) it is strongly encouraged for all users if they have the means. If the block is invalid for whatever reason, the node software will disregard it as invalid and stop its propagation. If the block is valid, the node continues propagating it through the network. These nodes do not propose blocks, but they still serve a critical role in securing the network by holding all block proposers accountable by listening for new blocks and verifying their validity on arrival according to the network consensus rules. ![]() the majority) are not required to commit any economic resources beyond a consumer-grade computer with 1-2 TB of available storage and an internet connection. This category requires committing economic resources (such as GPU hash power in proof-of-work or staked ETH in proof-of-stake) in exchange for the ability to occasionally propose the next block and earn protocol rewards. This category includes mining nodes under proof-of-work (PoW) and validator nodes under proof-of-stake (PoS). Nodes that propose blocks are only a small number of the total nodes on Ethereum. There are two types of Ethereum nodes: nodes that can propose blocks and nodes that don't. As Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain, it also merged the entire transactional history of Ethereum. Instead, the proof-of-stake validators have adopted this role and are now responsible for processing the validity of all transactions and proposing blocks. Mining is no longer the means of producing valid blocks. ![]() The Merge represented the official switch to using the Beacon Chain as the engine of block production. After The Merge, the Beacon Chain became the consensus engine for all network data, including execution layer transactions and account balances. After extensive testing, it became time for the Beacon Chain to reach consensus on real world data. Instead, it was reaching consensus on its own state by agreeing on active validators and their account balances. The Beacon Chain was not originally processing Mainnet transactions. On December 1, 2020, the Beacon Chain was created as a separate blockchain to Mainnet, running in parallel. Throughout Ethereum's history, developers prepared for an eventual transition away from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. This allowed the Ethereum blockchain we're all used to to come into existence in July 2015 with all its familiar features-transactions, smart contracts, accounts, etc. Proof-of-work secured Ethereum Mainnet from genesis until The Merge. This merged the new, more efficient engine into the existing ship enabling it to put in some serious lightyears and take on the universe. After significant testing, it became time to hot-swap the new engine for the old one mid-flight. With the Beacon Chain, the community built a new engine and a hardened hull. Imagine Ethereum is a spaceship that launched before it was quite ready for an interstellar voyage. The Merge was when these two systems finally came together, and proof-of-work was permanently replaced by proof-of-stake. Ethereum Mainnet - with all it's accounts, balances, smart contracts, and blockchain state - continued to be secured by proof-of-work, even while the Beacon Chain ran in parallel using proof-of-stake. Initially, the Beacon Chain shipped separately from Mainnet.

That's because the movie does an excellent job of establishing these people as characters, establishing the family dynamic as fraught but loving, and establishing a conflict that is direct and clear as far a major point of separation. I do not hold the familiar formula against CODA, even as the family's goal and her personal goal come into direct conflict in sometimes forced manners. It's familiar, but that doesn't mean under the right set of hands that it cannot still be resonant and emotionally gratifying. It's based upon a 2014 French film, The Family Beller, and follows many of the same beats from other sentimental family dramas about sticking out in your family and society, chasing your dream, often in conflict with your family's expectations, gaining that sense of inner strength and resolve, and mending differences in perspective with hard-fought and well-earned wisdom. The framework of CODA is familiar to anyone who has watched a coming-of-age story or family drama, but it's the conviction and strength of character and sheer force of empathy that makes this movie a standout film for 2021. Ruby's music teacher agrees to train her because he believes in her potential, but Ruby has to worry that her dream is something that cannot be shared with the people she loves most, and how would they all get on without her? She's balancing working for her family on their fishing trawler, maintaining good grades in school, and possibly pursuing scholarships to enroll at a music and fine arts college for singing. ![]() ![]() Her mother (Marlee Matlin) and father (Tony Kotsur) and her older brother (Daniel Durant) are all deaf, and she is the only member of her household with the ability to hear. Ruby Rossi (Emilia Jones) falls under the category of CODA, a Child Of a Deaf Adult. Kubrick called it a “bland mid-Atlantic” sound, but it could just as easily have been mid-galactic. Despite this, it is interesting.” To American ears, Rain’s standard Canadian accent sounded unplaceable. “The voice is neither patronizing, nor is it intimidating, nor is it pompous, overly dramatic or actorish. First appearing in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) is a sentient. “I think he’s perfect,” Kubrick wrote in a letter. If Kubrick was bowled over by Universe’s visual effects, he found Rain’s voiceover just as impressive. His film breakthrough came with 1957’s Oedipus Rex for the classical Greek drama, his face was invisible behind a mark. Whether on radio or onstage, Rain was praised for his mellifluous vocal performances. "We can, in imagination, journey into these spaces." That narrator was Douglas Rain, a distinguished Shakespearean who started acting professionally at the age of eight, and co-founded the Stratford Festival (essentially Canada’s equivalent of the RSC), where he acted alongside William Shatner. "What will the first men to leave the Earth find?" Universe’s soft-voiced narrator asks at one point in the film. One of 2001’s special effects supervisors said he would screen it again and again, “until the sprockets wore out, while he tried to figure out how they’d done it”. Kubrick was mesmerised by Universe, and is said to have watched the documentary 95 times. IBM designer Eliot Noyes, who worked on the film, sketched out an idea of what “Athena” would have looked like in illustrations preserved at the Museum of Computer History. In the early production notes, Athena speaks in clipped sentences – "report all changes status this malfunction” – that sound more like telegrams than Hal’s relaxed, conversational lines. While writing the script together, Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke originally imagined a computer called “Athena” with a female voice. Had things gone slightly differently, Hal could have had the voice of the Duke of Norfolk, the detective from Psycho or even Barbra Streisand. He never watched the film that gave him his most famous role, but he delivered a timeless performance the faceless Hal is, ironically, the film’s most human character. The actor who created that eerie intonation, Douglas Rain, died in November 2018, aged 90. Quote lines from the movie to Siri or Alexa, and they’ll crack self-deprecating jokes about it. Hal 9000, the murderous computer in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 sci-fi classic, set the template for how we expect our “smart” devices to sound. “I’m sorry, I can’t do that.” Calm and polite, friendly but impersonal, it’s the sound of artificial intelligence in the 21st century – and, to fans of 2001: A Space Odyssey, it’s very creepy indeed. This build would not have been possible without the help of the r/buildapc community.It’s a tone of voice that can be heard everywhere, from Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa to the sat-nav on your dashboard.

In addition to using a no-drain tummy tuck technique and prescribing the best oral pain medications available, Dr. A game-changer in pain management: How effective is EXPAREL? Many of our extremely active patients get back to working out sooner and report stronger core strength as an added benefit. However, we advise patients to go back to working out slowly and back off if it hurts. Some report small muscle “zingers” with workouts or yoga, which is completely normal. Patients go back to working out at 4 to 6 weeks post-tummy tuck. Most women are walking upright and going about daily activities after just 2 weeks. The soreness diminishes after a week and you start to think less and less about it. Those muscles quickly become angry and fatigued from the layers of sutures placed to keep them tight. For about a week, they retaliate by acting sore and tired. ![]() Those stubborn muscles loved the roominess of your loose abdomen. Think about it this way: A tummy tuck is basically military boot camp for the abdominal muscles. Patients find normal activities such as standing up straight, walking up stairs, and getting out of a seated position or bed uncomfortable because the core muscles are sore after being sewn together from the breast bone to the pubic bone. The discomfort after a tummy tuck comes not from the incision, which will actually be numb for some time, but from the muscle tightening. How long does the tightness last after a tummy tuck? The truth is, nothing about the tummy tuck recovery is excruciating. Keep in mind that the human psyche is extremely masterful at dramatizing a painful recovery scene before we have experienced the event. Luckily, the pain during tummy tuck recovery does not outweigh the amazing results afterward, and men and women who’ve had the procedure give it a 96% Worth It rating on. Many patients worry about what to expect after a tummy tuck. Listen up! Procrastination is a big mistake! Why put off the future of a sleek, flat, bikini-wearing, defined stomach for a few weeks of discomfort? Understanding the truth about pain, taking advantage of modern pain management, and setting yourself up with ample recovery time and support will make for a successful recovery. However, many patients have become so frightened by the perceived “painful” recovery-that they end up postponing their procedure for months and sometimes years! We meet with women daily who want to eliminate sagging skin and a protruding abdomen and reduce the extent of stretch marks left behind after pregnancy or weight loss. We have talked with these patients before surgery and after recovery-and helped them push through their fears. As patient counselors at our plastic surgery centers in Denver and Golden, CO, Carrie and I have listened to many tummy tuck patients. ![]() The chimneys of Thomas Newcomen’s steam engine were incorporated into the walls of the engine house. ![]() The chimney is part of a steam-generating boiler, and its evolution is closely linked to increases in the power of the steam engine. The powerful association between industrial chimneys and the characteristic smoke-filled landscapes of the industrial revolution was due to the universal application of the steam engine for most manufacturing processes. The first free-standing industrial chimneys were probably those erected at the end of the long condensing flues associated with smelting lead. Most 18th-century industrial chimneys (now commonly referred to as flue gas stacks) were built into the walls of the furnace much like a domestic chimney. As such, they played an important part in the development of reverberatory furnaces and a coal-based metallurgical industry, one of the key sectors of the early Industrial Revolution. The first industrial chimneys were built in the mid-17th century when it was first understood how they could improve the combustion of a furnace by increasing the draft of air into the combustion zone. 3 Flue-gas flow-rate induced by the draft.When the flue gases are exhausted from stoves, ovens, fireplaces, heating furnaces and boilers, or other small sources within residential abodes, restaurants, hotels, or other public buildings and small commercial enterprises, their flue gas stacks are referred to as chimneys. The flue gas stacks are often quite tall, up to 400 metres (1300 feet) or more, to increase the stack effect and dispersion of pollutants. It also contains a small percentage of pollutants such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Flue gas is usually composed of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water vapor as well as nitrogen and excess oxygen remaining from the intake combustion air. Flue gases are produced when coal, oil, natural gas, wood or any other fuel is combusted in an industrial furnace, a power plant's steam-generating boiler, or other large combustion device. A flue gas stack at GRES-2 Power Station in Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan, the tallest of its kind in the world (420 meters) Ī flue-gas stack, also known as a smoke stack, chimney stack or simply as a stack, is a type of chimney, a vertical pipe, channel or similar structure through which combustion product gases called flue gases are exhausted to the outside air. ![]() Additionally, different jurisdictions have different laws regarding access to data for law enforcement and national security, which can impact the data privacy and security of an organization’s customers. ![]() ![]() With data protection regulations such as the GDPR limiting where EU citizens data can be sent, the use of a cloud platform with data centers outside of the approved areas could place an organization in a state of regulatory non-compliance. 527 similar products are also available from Suppliers of Security.

To validate the proposed system, a new dataset of near-infrared imagery has been created, from which good results that outperform other state-of-the-art strategies have been obtained. Thus, a much wider range of hand gestures can be recognized in comparison with skeleton-based approaches. In this paper, a real-time hand gesture recognition system based on a near-infrared device is presented, which directly analyzes the infrared imagery to infer static and dynamic gestures, without using skeleton information. of hand poses, which restricts the range of gestures that can be recognized. However, the robust extraction of skeleton information from images is only possible for a subset. Most of these systems are based on the analysis of skeleton information, which is in turn inferred from color, depth, or near-infrared imagery. Visual hand gesture recognition systems are promising technologies for Human Computer Interaction, as they allow a more immersive and intuitive interaction. |
