![]() So I'm wondering if there are any scripts that I can add to Darktable that are more powerful for defringing and sharpening than whats already included in the program. And you can use masks and add film grain. Darktable feels more modern, fun and faster. ![]() The modules are a lot slower and more annoying to use than Darktable. I can't seem to get the same results with darktable's sharpening or defringing tools.īut then.RawTherapee is honestly a pain to use. Darktable's looks too muddy in comparison when looking at details. It tends to be way way overdone out of the box compared to darktable, very crunchy and oversharpened, but by dialing it back I can easily work with a much sharper and cleaner picture. AND I can actually adjust the levels of it too, it's not just "automatic." Another thing that impressed me was how rawtherapee implements its automatic base curves and sharpening. Not only does eliminate almost all of it, it doesn't suck the color out of the rest of the image. Darktable's defringing didn't really do much of a job in correcting the problem- either I got rid of the chromatic aberrations and LOTS of color in the picture, or just nothing.įrustrated, I downloaded RawTherapee and was blown away by how much better it was for fixing chromatic aberration. I'm using budget Canon lenses so of course I get lots of ugly fringing in situations like this. Then I started editing some landscape shots with lots of detail in faraway trees. I didn't really have a problem grasping how to use them quickly and was fairly happy with the pictures I was getting, so I didn't bother with anything else. I started with Darktable since it was the first name that jumped out, and most of the modules are clean and straightforward.

![]() ![]() In one sense, the behavior of the agents can be viewed as a reaction to the current state of the environment, and in another, the environment is a creation of the agents’ will upon it.įrom slime molds to the structure of the cosmic web, similar algorithmic techniques correlate to natural phenomena at the smallest and largest scales of the universe. All of the shapes and patterns within the pieces are emergent behaviors within a rich parameter space. ![]() The environment acts as both an arena and a message board for the agents. In each of the works in the show, there are agents (particles) that can sense, navigate, and modify their environment. Each piece in Primordium, their solo exhibition, embodies this sense of becoming, hypnotizing the viewer with an ever-unfolding actualization of the shadow future. Their work functions in the aesthetics of immanence a place where machinic systems imbue each other with unending possibility, a world in motion, out of equilibrium, and pulsating with unstable flows. For Sage Jenson, primordium is material at the precipice of desire, and their material of choice.

He grumbles his way home to wash his pants on a wringer. Mulligan, a rather dour critique of his times, is shortly to discover the import of that old phrase ‘out of the frying pan, into the fire,’ said fire burning brightly at all times, in the Twilight Zone.” Mulligan falls into a nearby watering trough. A horse-drawn carriage goes rolling by followed by a bicycle alongside a sign that forbids bicycles from moving at speeds greater than 8 miles per hour. ![]() Mulligan covers his ears and walks away (highlighting that this is a silent movie scene). ![]() We find him walking down the dusty streets of his town, reading a newspaper that says “Government Surplus Only 85 Million Dollars,” and in response Mulligan complains, “What’s our country coming to?” He looks at a nearby poster of a burlesque dancer and shakes his head, followed by a funny gag which seems to show a trumpeter loudly playing music and a stone mason banging away at an iron. Through title cards, Mulligan is described as a disgruntled citizen, and a janitor who works for an inventor named Professor Gilbert. Amidst a rousing chorus of old-timey piano music, we are introduced to Woodrow Mulligan (played by the legendary silent film comedian Buster Keaton). The year is 1890, the place is a town called Harmony, New York. Others can then book one of the 30-minute slots within that time that works best for them. For example, you can set aside 2 hours that you're available to meet with people in 30-minute slots. You can offer people a block of time on your calendar that they can book time slots within.

But because it’s Banksy it will only be worth more now.” “We are busily figuring out what this means in an auction context.”Īlthough it’s unclear how Sotheby’s will approach the situation, some believe that this painting will be worth even more now shredded than it was while still intact.Īrtist Isaiah King said in the Los Angeles Times: “If he was a lesser artist, he would have destroyed the art’s value. “We have not experienced this situation in the past where a painting spontaneously shredded, upon achieving a record for the artist,” Branczik said. Purchased by an unidentified buyer via a representative over the telephone, the auction house has stated that they are currently in discussions with the said buyer as to how they’ll proceed with the sale. “It appears we just got Banksy-ed,” said Alex Branczik, head of contemporary European art at Sotheby’s. ![]() "The urge to destroy is also a creative urge" – PicassoĪ post shared by Banksy on at 10:09am PDT Sotheby’s describes the painting as a “framed work, spray paint and acrylic on canvas,” and states that Banksy’s “Girl With Balloon” is “the first time in auction history that a work of art automatically shredded itself.” He paired the video with a Pablo Picasso quote: “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.” When that day finally came, his elaborate stunt was realized, leaving auctioneers speechless. He wrote that he had secretly built the shredder in the painting a number of years ago in the event that it was put up for auction. Several iterations of the painting have since been sold, but none have been destroyed like the one at Sotheby’s has.Īfter the public witnessed the jaw-dropping demonstration, Banksy explained the stunt on social media. ![]() It was removed in 2014 after it had been covered up by boards for a number of years. The original version of the image was spray painted onto a building in East London back in 2002. The painting is a reproduction of one of the most iconic graffiti murals Banksy has ever produced. Banksy has revealed that his partial shredding of an artwork during a Sothebys auction did not go to plan and that the painting was instead meant to be completely destroyed. ![]() More than just the intense physical training, McDonough says the actors’ emotional investment in the characters stood out. As the movie explains, they often fight fire with fire. When the wildfire runs into the counter-flame, the two snuff each other out. With incredible speed and efficiency, they dig a line of trenches ahead of the approaching blaze, and then set their own counter-fires with torches. Hotshots are tasked with controlling towering, fast moving infernos with little more than chainsaws, shovels and drip torches. Only the Brave offers a crash course in the dangerous vocation. It wasn’t, ‘Hey how come we have to hike this long?’ It was, ‘Hey how can I improve my stride so I can hike faster and longer?’ They showed up to put out.” “When they came onboard they knew what they were willing to do and it shined through everyday. “They put a lot of effort into it,” McDonough said. I think we got their approval and I think that meant a lot to everybody.” “I think they trusted us when they saw how dedicated we were and how much we were willing to lend ourselves and how lazy we weren’t. “The fact that we trained with actual Granite Mountain Hotshots I think was a major major thing,” Brolin says. To prepare for the role, Josh Brolin, who played team leader Eric Marsh, and the rest of the cast went through firefighter bootcamp. They all have their eyes on this film and it’s tough for us to go home and explain what the film is like, and it’s tough for us to go home and explain the job, but now people are going to have a little bit of an insight into what it’s like.” “There are so many people it’s representing - not just the people portrayed in the film but all wildland firefighters, all their family members and anyone that’s ever known one. Pat McCarty, a Prescott firefighter who also served as technical advisor, says everyone on set felt that sense of duty. Telling the story right was essential to the filmmakers, who based the movie on an emotional article written by Sean Flynn for GQ. “When I see some of their family members I hope they think ‘My son was like that.’ ‘My husband carried himself in that way, he talked about love and compassion and helping others like that,'” he says. McDonough, who was the newest member of the group at the time of the tragedy, has been recovering from PTSD and depression since losing the men he calls “brothers.” He has found healing by working with nonprofits helping members of the fire service, and says he strives to carry on the values he saw in his teammates. “I think the most important thing, and they nailed it, was the camaraderie.” “I’m really blown away by such an amazing job they did,” says McDonough, now 25, who served as an advisor to the filmmakers and cast. The shelters were ultimately useless that day against direct contact with the massive inferno. When members of the Blue Ridge team finally found the bodies, they saw that some of the Granite Mountain team had deployed fire shelters designed to protect wildland firefighters from small flames as a last resort. Members of another hotshot team, the Blue Ridge Hotshots, tried to save the trapped Granite Mountain crew, but were pushed back by the fire’s immense heat. ![]() The wildfire was ignited by lightning on June 28, 2013, and it quickly spread over 8,300 acres through a combination of strong winds, high temperatures and dry conditions caused by drought. Only the Bravetells the story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a highly trained team of wildland firefighters that lost 19 of its 20 members when they became entrapped in the Yarnell Hill blaze in Arizona on June 30, 2013. To become hotshots, Eric has to lobby the local fire chief (Jeff Bridges) - a good old boy in a Stetson, who fronts a country and western band down the local bar.As Northern California prepares to recover from a devastating series of wildfires, the heroic and poignant true story behind one of the worst firefighter tragedies in U.S. The term "hotshots" refers to professional firefighters who deploy across the US, but when the film begins, his boys are only regular municipal firies, assigned to their small town. ![]() Josh Brolin plays their leader Eric Marsh, a veteran with one eye always glued to the horizon and a square jaw that could cut glass. It's as earnest as a mid-career John Cougar Mellencamp record, with a corny love of campfires and wilderness, big dusty cars, open roads and hard graft - even if everyone's too pretty and the sunglasses fit too well.ĭirected by Joseph Kocinski (Tron Legacy) and co-written by Black Hawk Down screenwriter Ken Nolan, it's based on the true story of a crew known as the Granite Mountain Hotshots who fought a devastating fire in Arizona at Yarnell Hill in 2013. Director Joseph Kosinski cites a 2013 GQ article as foundational inspiration for the film. ![]() These books are essentially a full curriculum for learning the basics of Swift. The first and largest strand is the creation of the Swift Playgrounds app, which we will discuss later in this article.Ĭlosely related to Swift Playgrounds is the production of two interactive textbooks called Learn to Code 1 and 2. The initiative, announced at WWDC 2016, has a number of strands. Everyone Can CodeĮveryone Can Code is Apple’s initiative to promote Computer Science education in schools and beyond. It remains the most full-featured native development tool on iOS and one of the most impressive applications on the platform. While far simpler to deploy and use than the old EC2 system, Pythonista is limited by some of Apple’s App Store policies about downloading and running code on iOS. In 2015, we rewrote our computer programming course to use the Python language and adopted Pythonista as our programming environment. The ne plus ultra of iOS programming tools, however, is Pythonista. Another app, Codea, is focused on game programming with the Lua language. At an introductory level, apps like Hopscotch brought the visual block-based programming style popularised by MIT’s Scratch to iOS. Regardless, I was able to teach up to pre-university exam level using this system.Īs time went on, a number of other options arrived for programming directly on the iPad itself. We continued teaching Ruby this way and it was reasonably successful, if a little complex to understand. This approach involved running an Amazon EC2 Linux server in the cloud and connecting to it from the iPad using apps such as Textastic and Prompt. In 2012, we made our first move towards teaching programming on iOS. When our school went 1:1 iPad in 2010, we continued using the Macs for programming education for a few years. Later we moved to teaching Ruby using Terminal and Bare Bones’ basic text editor TextWrangler. I started teaching children on Mac desktops in 2006 and we used a variant of Visual Basic for Macs called Real Basic. I have been a Computer Science teacher for ten years. The Playgrounds concept that we will discuss in this article has only ever existed for Swift. At WWDC 2016, for example, all code examples shown were in Swift. Although Objective-C has not been abandoned, the clear direction of travel at Apple is towards Swift and away from Objective-C. Today, Swift is a full peer of Objective-C in Apple’s developer ecosystem. Apple began a project to create a replacement language that included many of the modern advances in language design that had been developed in the period after Objective-C was first defined in the early 1980s. Objective-C was getting quite old by the early 2010s. This was a language that extended the C programming language to include a range of features that made it easier to program large-scale modern applications. Historically Apple – and before Apple, NeXT – used a programming language called Objective-C. It was introduced at WWDC 2014 and has been expanded and developed ever since. Swift is Apple’s own programming language. While attending the conference, I was able to speak with many of the engineers and educators working on Swift Playgrounds and gain an insight into what the software is capable of and the reasons why it was built. I was fortunate to be awarded an educator scholarship to WWDC 2016 and was privileged to be in the audience at the announcement. This is a first from Apple and a major advance for iOS as a platform. This is a new app from Apple that is designed to allow children to learn to program on an iPad. Right at the end of the WWDC 2016 keynote, Apple announced Swift Playgrounds. ![]() The Concept Of The Jackbox Party Pack 5 Free Download PC Game Was Great.

Vehicles can be docked by approaching the bottom center of the vessel. It will open, allowing a Seamoth or Prawn Suit to be docked inside. The Seamoth or Prawn Suit will recharge while docked, draining power from the Cyclops’ power cells. Vehicles in the Cyclops will also be repaired automatically, if the Cyclops is equipped with a Cyclops Docking Bay Repair Module. When entering the Cyclops through the bottom hatch, the player can use the storage lockers in the keel or climb the ladder to reach the bridge. When entering the Cyclops by docking a vehicle, the player is put into the upper midsection. On the upper front of the vessel (the bridge), the Cyclops can be piloted at the steering wheel. (If you cannot move, make sure your Cyclops is powered and the engine is on) Press the button on the left hand side that looks like a fan in order to enable the engine. I will often refer to all of the sections listed below, so learning them would help! The PDA cannot be accessed while piloting a Cyclops. The keel section is located at the bottom of the Cyclops. It contains five built-in storage lockers and a hatch for the player to embark or disembark the vessel. The ramp section is located beneath the engine room. ![]() (I couldn’t get a good picture, but it should be pretty self-explanatory) It has two ladders that lead into the engine room and also has a door that leads to the vehicle bay. The vehicle bay is located in the center of the keel and under the upper midsection. This is where vehicles recharge and are repaired if a cyclops docking bay repair module is used. The upper midsection is located in the central top section of the vessel. The entrances to vehicles can be accessed here, and there is a nearby console used to view/manage the upgrade modules, storage, and health and energy of the docked vehicles. There is also a module that can be used to insert decoy modules for later use. The engine room is located at the stern of the vessel. There are 3 power cells on each side of the engine. ![]() The starboard side is equipped with a cyclops upgrade module fabricator. The port side is equipped with a fire extinguisher and an area used to insert upgrade modules.

The bridge is located on the front part of the vessel. It is accessed from the upper midsection or the ladder located in the front of the keel. Located on the front of the bridge, there is a steering wheel. On the port side of the bridge there is a hologram of the cyclops showing any hull breaches or lava larva that are attached to the hull. Additionally there is a health bar above the hologram. On the starboard side of the bridge there are more controls. There is a panel to customize the colors and name of the Cyclops. There is also a panel used to enable/disable the lights. The Pilot HUD has most of the main functions of the cyclops.
