No patents, Free Read more about FLIF and Responsive Web Design This makes it a very appropriate file format for responsive web design. Responsive by designĪ FLIF image can be loaded in different ‘variations’ from the same source file, by loading the file only partially. Here is an example to illustrate the progressive decoding of FLIF, compared to other methods. With better compression, the need to go there is lessened. The disadvantages of lossy compression are obvious: information is lost forever, compression artifacts can be noticeable, and transcoding or editing can cause generation loss. Lossy compression is useful when network bandwidth or diskspace are limited, and you still want to get a visually OK image. Here is a simple demonstration video, which shows an image as it is slowly being downloaded: PNG with Adam7 interlacing), but FLIF is better at it. Other lossless formats also support progressive decoding (e.g. In each of these three examples, FLIF performs well - even better than any of the others.įLIF is lossless, but can still be used in low-bandwidth situations, since only the first part of a file is needed for a reasonable preview of the image. On geographical maps, BPG and JPEG 2000 perform (extremely) poorly while while PNG and WebP work well (see plot on the right). On medical images, PNG and WebP perform relatively poorly (note: it looks like the most recent development version of WebP performs a lot better!) while BPG and JPEG 2000 work well (see middle plot). On photographs, PNG performs poorly while WebP, BPG and JPEG 2000 compress well (see plot on the left). Here is an example to illustrate the point. The conclusion? FLIF beats anything else in all categories. Here is a selection of different kinds of images and how each image format performs with them. More recent formats like WebP and BPG do not solve this problem, since they still have their strengths and weaknesses.įLIF works well on any kind of image, so the end-user does not need to try different algorithms and parameters. It can be tricky for non-technical end-users. For regular photographs where some quality loss is acceptable, JPEG can be used, but for medical images you may want to use lossless JPEG 2000. You are supposed to know that PNG works well for line art, but not for photographs. It has slightly improved since then.) Works on any kind of imageįLIF does away with knowing what image format performs the best at any given task. (Note: the graph below is for an early version of FLIF. FLIF clearly beats other image compression algorithms. The results of a compression test similar to the WebP study are shown below. Here are some of the key advantages of FLIF: Best compression The file format has been standardised and versioned.

However, my possessions and my money were impounded, and I arrived in New York in December of 1914 with thirty-two dollars in my pocket.”Īfter arriving in New York City, Steiner worked as a music copyist with music publishing houses, which eventually led to work on Broadway musicals. As Steiner himself recalls: “Then came the First World War…but artists are luckier than most other people and through the Duke of Westminster, who seemed to be a fan of mine, I got my exit papers to go to America. The outbreak of World War I forced him to remain in London as an enemy alien, but since he was well-regarded in the theatre scene of London at the time, he had friends in high places. Mainly working as a conductor, Steiner was also keen on writing his own theatrical works. Steiner was so talented that not only did he win a gold medal, but he also finished the four-year course of study in just one year.Īfter graduating, the 16-year-old began his career in the theatre scenes of Vienna and London. He later attended the Imperial Academy of Music when he was 15, being privately tutored by both Robert Fuchs and Gustav Mahler. Steiner showed a precociousness for music at an early age, starting piano lessons at the age of four and writing his own compositions. Steiner’s grandfather Maximillian Steiner (for whom he is named) was the manager of the Theatre an der Wien, and was also close with Johann Strauss II, who wrote many famous operettas for the Theatre in the second half of the 19 th century (including Die Fledermaus and The Gypsy Baron). He was born into an upper middle-class family involved in the Viennese music and theatre scene – his father was an impresario and his mother was a dancer-turned-restauranteur. Max Steiner was born in 1888 in Vienna, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, many aren’t aware of the life and story of the man behind such recognizable tunes – Max Steiner.

Still need to try an MKV (any suggestions on where to get something decent ?). All of them seem to work so far, even various exotic ones that don't work on my Mac. I've tried various file formats via the "all share" feature. I also cannot get E4 which I could previously on my humax. Might try going direct to the TV and see if that helps. I'm not sure if its because I'm passing the aerial through the output of the Humax first or not. I noticed that the Freeview Reception does not seem to be as good as my Humax box. I'll post again if I come across anything else.Ī little followup after using this TV for a day. Anyway, so far it's seems pretty awesome. Looking forward to being blown away by a blue-ray once I've got that going. There's no HDMI cable in the box so I haven't had a chance to hook it up to my Wii of PS3 yet. No sign of BBC iPlayer, but no biggie as I'll get that running on my PS3. It is May goddam it! Guess we will have to wait for that one. I noticed that there's a widget for LoveFilm, but upon entering that option, I was shut down with a message "Coming in May". I've attached some screenshots of the screen so someone can comment if this differs from previous models. I connected it up to a router and attempted to upgrade the firmware, but unsurprisingly I was on the latest. Obviously I'd rather it NOT be there! Anyway, other than that there didn't seem to be any signs of clouding or any irregularities. When I looked for any clouding or irregularities I came across what looked like a dead pixel It's actually is a "stuck pixel", which is only noticeable when you put your face right up to the TV. Color was better and the contrast / black levels we really good. I adjusted the settings using the settings found on the B7020 owners thread here. I noticed that the colours were a bit strange, so it looks as if the defaults are not optimal - similarly with the 2009 models. Luckily there was something that was actually filmed in HD. Once I got all the channels tuned, I went straight for BBC HD. This isn't my first LCD, but since I've moved to the UK, I've been using a 20" CRT, so it's quite a step upįirst Impressions of PQ were good. I prefer the "chicken foot" stand of this model to the previous model's stands. This is my first Samsung, so perhaps someone can fill in the details on how this differs from the 2009 models.įrom what I've seen of the 2009 models (B7020 etc) the only exterior differences are the stand and the glass edging of the 2010 models seems a little bit thinner. I believe there are some reviews of the US version of the C6500, but I'm not sure how they differ from the EU model. Freshly delivered today - Samsung UE37C6530! Some of the letters are in white, and others are black. Most videos with this song show a person standing in front of a light switch with a phrase typed out somewhere on the video. This song may have been released in 2008, but it’s currently having a moment on TikTok. There are some trends in using this sound, like a person screaming while surrounded by phrases they believe to be false, and showing how you look in real life compared to what your Instagram profile looks like. The iconic scream that’s carried throughout this video has accompanied everything from home decor tours to DIY bucket hat tutorials. Now let’s dive into each of these viral TikTok songs and see what kind of videos they’re featured Donna walks into work and Church Bells by Carrie Underwood is playing ♬ Church Bells by Carrie Underwood – mark “It’s Not The Same Anymore” by Rex Orange County.Here are the top TikTok songs of 2021 (so far): Now, in the era of social media, it seems that TikTok has seized the reins of the music industry. Radio and MTV once held the power of deciding which catchy tunes would reach the public and inevitably become popular hits. Here are the top TikTok songs of 2021 so far In this article, we’re breaking down the top TikTok songs of 2021 so far - and compiling them into a single playlist for you to enjoy. And while new songs are being created and added to the app every day, some standouts have already risen to the heights of TikTok fame this year. From funny voice-overs to catchy mashups, popular TikTok songs help videos go viral on the platform and land a coveted spot on the For You page. I would rather the studio not lose sight of that culture. Rare got to make amazing games like Banjo and Perfect Dark because they were allowed to continually invest in new IP, rather than make sequels to existing hits endlessly. It’s about the team building the thing that is in their burning desire and heart to go make the most amazing experience.”Īnd you know what? That’s totally fair. It’s not about me picking the game I want made, or I want people to go do. Then my job as the studio head is to create an environment where they can go do that, and they can do their best work, and we can create something amazing. That’s why Everwild will be the game it will be, because we have a team of people who are truly passionate about the thing they’re creating. That’s why Sea of Thieves is the game it is. The great thing about making games is putting a set of passionate people together making something they truly love and believe in,” he said. “If that was our logic we’d have been making Jetpac for the last 35 years. So, why do that? Why, when they are finally back in the limelight, put out another new IP, rather than giving fans some of their beloved favourites? In an interview with Eurogamer, studio head Craig Duncan explained why the developer prefers to work on new franchises, rather than sticking with their established brands. It is, instead, another new IP, a seemingly meditative and contemplative one that apparently takes some cues from Breath of the Wild, named, er, Everwild. An unexpected (but delightful) Super Smash Bros. collaboration surely did not help matters on that front.Īnd yet, Rare’s new game is not Banjo, or Conker, or Perfect Dark, or Blast Corps. Continued support for Sea of Thieves elevated that game into being worthy of the old Rare-and also immediately led to fans wondering if this meant Rare would be more confident in taking on some of its classic IP, like Banjo Kazooie. Once Microsoft purchased the studio, things unfortunately went south for well over a decade, with the studio only beginning to show signs of its old brilliance with Sea of Thieves. Everwild is Rares new IP, showing off the games style, developer is talking about the game now. Unfortunately, Rare’s star has long since fallen from their glory days. Many gamers will find themselves slipping into a nostalgic reverie at the mention of titles like GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, and Perfect Dark. It’s hard not to get excited about a brand new game from Rare. Little by little, the picture is coming together. Published Rare Studios reveals a new IP during X019's opening ceremony, announcing the beautiful open-world experience and its title, Everwild. Rare used to rule the world back in the 1990s, with a Naughty Dog-sequel string of prestige and commercial hits-except they did it across multiple genres and game types, multiple times in a single year. Widely beloved developer Rare has been drip-feeding us details for its new IP Everwild. There is probably no set of gaming fans that is more long suffering or hard done by than fans of the classic British developer, Rare.

Additionally, by generalizing such a grievous sin to "we are all sinners" you diminish and confuse the responsibility of the sinner to take action/tackle some of their most damaging sins (to themselves and others). feel guilt, shame, or be anxious to repent for their homosexual acts) because "we are all sinners" and as you have said before, "it is the Holy Spirit's job to convict." This is a huge problem if this is your motive, because you are enabling practicing homosexuals to continue in their idolatry by continuing to find their identity in their sexuality and be led by their flesh. By "queer friendly" you are tickling the ears of PRACTICING homosexuals so that they don't feel convicted (i.e. trying to offer your body as a living sacrifice to God by denying your fleshly desires and appetites, and be led by the Spirit) and wish to turn away from the sexual immorality that all homosexual acts fall under (regardless if you are in a long-term, committed, and monogamous relationship), then we will be your friend here to help you along the way." (But they cannot hold any leadership positions in the church while they are still struggling with being led by their flesh just as those struggling with adultery would not be allowed to hold leadership positions) I have no problem with this, but if this was what you meant you should have clarified it because I am sure a lot of people listening to you interpreted "we are a queer friendly church" the way below (B). By "queer friendly" your message was something to the effect of: "If you are trying to detangle yourself from the gay lifestyle (i.e. One comment you said struck me as odd: "we are a queer friendly church." There are two ways to interpret this statement: So please Mike, if you are going to talk to Christians about how not to communicate, please just look to your nearest liberal Christian demonizing their Christian conservative brother or sister over gay rights, or abortion rights for plenty of examples. If you want to appeal to 1 Cor 5:11-13 that is fine, that is a verse I will bring up below but if your reasoning is because you were talking to "CHRISTIANS" not the world, then good so am I! Why don't you talk with that same fervor to "CHRISTIANS" who are practicing homosexuals? You go out of your way to handle their immorality with kid gloves so much that it's questionable whether they are even in need of repentance.īy the way, in my experience over the past few years, the "Christians" who need to learn how to communicate in a Christ-like manner toward those they disagree with/believe are sinning, are "Christian" homosexual advocates and "pro-choicers.” The bullying, harassing, name-calling, and overall vitriol today from Christians is OVERWHELMINGLY from those who support homosexuality and abortion (i.e. You quoted Billy Graham: “It is the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge and my job to love.” If you are fine with leaving the task of conviction to the Holy Spirit, why did you find it necessary to convict Christians who might talk in an insensitive way toward practicing homosexual Christians? Shouldn't you have left that to the Holy Spirit? Why are you picking and choosing which sins you point out and which ones you leave to the Holy Spirit? Either we work with the Holy Spirit and affirm what He is working in the lives of sinners, or we never say anything regarding other sinner's behavior. However, your clarification on Eastlake's position regarding homosexuality/marriage got sort of lost in the constant reminders on how Christians shouldn't talk to/judge homosexuality. I appreciate you clarifying the orthodox stance of Eastlake Church on homosexuality and marriage, and explaining to the congregation that Jesus affirmed marriage as one man and one woman. And that's true, if you only look at the in-house technology. According to the manufacturer, it is not possible to connect both models of the smart speaker to form a stereo pair. At the beginning of 2023 that came 2nd generation Apple HomePod on the market. In 2018 Apple introduced the first generation of the HomePod this was then withdrawn from the market in 2021. You come to the accompanying article with this link. I'm curious to see what else iFixit will find out about this. " We got some testing to do.'" concludes the video embedded above. Therefore, the iFixit video notes that the manufacturer could use software to ensure that only its own parts are used according to its own specifications, since nothing else works. Now, Apple isn't exactly known for endorsing home repairs using third-party funds. The fact that the 2nd generation Apple HomePod is easier to disassemble and reassemble is good news. Repair it yourself: Tests should show whether there are software restrictions These explanations and the teardown are garnished with X-ray images of the new smart speaker. Everything can be unscrewed and repaired. This becomes clear in the video, since no saw or spatula has to be used. As if Apple has taken these efforts to heart, there is now less glue in the 2023 HomePod. To be fair, however, the efforts of the community that have led to significantly less rabid methods over time are also addressed. IFixit's new teardown video begins with a reminder of 2018's HomePod and the effort it took to open it. Image Source: YouTube / iFixit iFixit HomePod 1 vs. In addition to X-rays, the video also shows the woofer in action and the position of the humidity sensor. IFixit's Apple HomePod 2 teardown shows the inside of the new smart speaker. With both videos you can get a comprehensive overview of the 2023 smart speaker from Apple. And it is also referred to the individual parts of the logic board and the humidity sensor in the 2nd generation Apple HomePod received. For example, the movement of the built-in woofer driver is shown, which looks very impressive. But now there is also a teardown from iFixit, which doesn't go into great detail as far as the screws are concerned, but shows X-ray images and provides further insights. Last week we took a look at that HomePod 2 Teardown by Brandon Geekabit thrown. Report about it, among other things DigiTimes and PatentlyApple The latter page provides this graphic for Super Wi-Fi with 802.11ah and 802.11af / ad: That these companies are already working on the next coup can be seen in the efforts of D-Link and Microsoft, which a so-called Great wi-fi plan to use unused frequencies from the world of radio and TV. That's why the field is left to the likes of Netgear, D-Link, Belkin and Co. Putting competencies in this area could slim down other product lines. In addition to the low sales, Apple has probably also realized that the WLAN market is becoming increasingly competitive. Other companies are ahead when it comes to WLAN It is added that the routers make up only a small part of Apple's revenue and that they are only mentioned under “other products” in the financial report - a category that so far only made up 2016% of the revenue in 5. The corresponding statements were made by people close to the company. " Apple shut down the wireless router team over the past year and dispersed the engineers into other product development groups, including those working on the Apple TV“, One can read in the report. This should focus even more on those products that make up the company's main sales.

The East Lyme Public Trust Foundation has attempted to put that idea into action by continuing to beautify the Boardwalk and the nearby Parks.

June Hoye is the Chairperson for this project, with help from Bill Rinoski who arranged for the donation plaques, and the Parks and Rec. The total for the 25 Trash cans is $8,181 Hoye was the person who organized the group that funded the Band Stand- the Public Trust Foundation, the Rotary, and the Parks and Recreation Department. Trust It or Trash It is a free online tool that serves two purposes: to encourage critical thinking as people encounter health information and to add to. Hoye, who served as Vice-President of the Foundation for 22 years, various citizens donated $1,885 to purchase 5 more Trash Receptacles to be placed around the McCook Park Pavilion and the Band Stand. The contribution for the 20 Trash Receptacles was $6,296 Then, in 2018, the Foundation voted to purchase an additional 10, (33 gallon) Trash Receptacles which were placed along the Boardwalk, at Cini Park, and at McCook Park.

In 2017, June Hoye proposed to the Foundation that they enhance the white plastic trash cans at the Boardwalk with Recycled Plastic Trash Receptacles which are more pleasing in appearance. Over the years, the East Lyme Public Trust Foundation has taken on projects to provide some finishing touches at Cini Park, McCook Park, and the Boardwalk. |
