She added that she wanted to allude to characters that might return later in the campaign. In an interview with Rolling Stone UK, Goulding stated: "I was really nervous that the video would just end up being a representation of the song. Sean makes a cameo during when Goulding plays a teacher who is taking class photos. Goulding plays several characters, including a teacher and an androgynous rocker, to take on an otherworldly creature. The music video, directed by Sophia Ray, was shot in a school in Bulgaria. Fortunately, he said yes and it became the song you hear now." Music video I've been a fan for so long and he even sampled me on his Hall of Fame album so I decided to reach out and see if he'd be interested. When I started working on my new record I revisited it and weirdly, I'd just seen Big Sean's recent Coachella set and was just blown away by his presence. Regarding the inclusion of Big Sean on the record, she added: "We tried different versions over the years and none of them felt quite right. I wrote it with Greg Kurstin (who I've worked with many times before) and Julia Michaels and I always knew there was something special about this song but it never really had a 'home'". I was coming to the end of the Delirium cycle and started on some ideas for the next record. Detailing the process behind the song, she said: "Truthfully, this song started life about 5 or 6 years ago. In July 2022, Goulding sent an email to her fans saying "that the song was a long time coming and that it had had many lives".

1/2/2023 0 Comments Helicon focus tubesDan wrote back that a new, enhanced version of the application would be out in about a month and would fix the issue. Postscript: I shared the constituent RAW files for the above image with Dan Kozub of Helicon to see what was causing the slightly imperfect alignment visible in places. Sure, like all of us I can be bought, but it will cost you a sight more than $30! Thank you Dan. While it’s always nice to get things free, remain assured that my objectivity is not about to get corrupted. #Helicon focus tubes free#You can see some overlap issues on the right of the above image – something I will address in a subsequent piece.ĭisclosure: After writing the above I was given a free registered version of Helicon Focus by Dan. I’m using the Canon macro at f/2.8, its maximum aperture here, so as to push the application hard realistically you would expect to stop down to take advantage of the lens’s sweet spot as well as to reduce the number of exposures required. Either way, an available premium version of the application takes advantage of multi-core CPUs so if you use a computer with Intel’s drop dead (Insanely Great!) Core2Duo or Core4Duo or whatever, your processing speed will be nice and fast.Ī composite of ten images. #Helicon focus tubes windows#And for those of you who enjoy locking up now and then, Helicon Focus also comes in a Windows version. Heck, you can always ask the French to save you ’cause sure as hell we will not. Well done Helicon Focus and let’s all pray you avoid the clutches of Mother Russia. Processing (MacBook, 2.1gHz C2D) took maybe 40 seconds and the interface is completely intuitive.įor those with high speed motor drives I imagine you could just set the camera on Continuous and move the focus ring as you bang away. Helicon Focus reads many formats, including the RAW originals used here. So any time you need extreme depth of field and your subject is stationary, this $30 application is just what the doctor ordered.Īll six snaps were taken on a Canon 5D with the 100mm macro lens at maximum aperture, for minimum depth of field. If you use ring flash you should use a stationary camera as otherwise your lighting intensity will vary between component pictures. The latter approach avoids image size changes but as the program adjusts image sizes when blending, if you use the stationary camera approach, I fail to see the advantage of a focus rail. You can either use a stationary camera and adjust focus or use a focus rail to move the camera. #Helicon focus tubes manual#The lens was set on manual focus and the camera on manual exposure. Look carefully and you will see an out-of-focus band around the ‘A’ in ‘America’ – I should have taken more snaps with smaller focus adjustments. Suffice it to say that the default setting of 4% magnification seem to work pretty well, so make sure you leave a little space around your subject to allow for this magnification: It’s something you can adjust in the application’s Preferences. The slight image magnification is conferred by the application to allow for image size changes between the component pictures. Now here is the composite of six originals, each with slightly different focus points, after processing in Helicon Focus. Doubtless it’s illegal to photograph currency, but when the subject in question is worthless, it’s no longer currency right? Here’s the first of six snaps, with the focus at the far end: Pictures beat words, so here’s one of the six originals I took of that much abused currency, the US dollar. The application then merges the images for one overall sharp one. Simply stated, Helicon Focus asks that you make several pictures of a subject with the focus slightly different in each, so that your range of pictures has something sharp in each plane. That application is Helicon Focus from some programming geniuses in the Ukraine which, by the time you read this, will doubtless be a part of the USSR again. Now and then an application comes along which truly must be graced with the Insanely Great accolade, especially now that Apple has ceased making insanely great products and prefers to focus on insanely great sales instead. They are insanely fast (lags and rubberbanding incoming!) and away cooler (and saver – no trample) way of transportation. You can not ride them-also, sheep love apples.īoars are basically your “Trike.” You get wood and tooooons of twine with them, as well as grass, straw, and berries. You put grass in and get the fur out (requires taming rank 1). A small symbol on the cards (collar?) means the beast is tameable. When you open your inventory or any other menu, you can navigate to the ‘Beastiary’ tab. If the server goes down (or a rollback halfway), it will still maintain the taming process you just need to reconnect fast enough when the server goes back on.If the food runs out before the tame is done, the taming will go down.One good thing: Taming is waaaaaay faster than in Ark! Higher wildness stats means more bonus levels when taming is complete! It goes down with feeding (the lower the quality of the feed) and determines what level the mob will have when taming is down. The “wildness” stat is equivalent to the taming efficiency. The torpor gets added with the next tick. To prevent this, shoot another rope arrow into the prey, BUT since it does not move anymore, you need to move away until the rope holds you back. If the constitution reaches 0 before the taming is 100 %, the mob will get up and start moving again. When the mob goes down, it is time to tame. The mob will eat one piece of food at a time and gain “taming.” At the same time, the “constitution” stat will drop (you can hear and see it munching as well as trying to stand up). Place the feeding trough next to your target and fill it with food. Rope arrows do no damage! Keep them coming! Keep an eye on that boar and follow up as soon as the hunter-hunted part changes! When the torpor (or damage) is high enough, most mobs will try to run away. Be mindful that the boar will charge and break the rope easily. A boar, however, will chase you, so you run away and shoot behind when the rope is at max length. The sheep will run from you, where you can follow up and shoot more arrows as soon as it reaches the max length of rope. This means there is a difference between taming things like sheep and aggressive creatures like boars. (You can, however, stretch the rope manually by moving away from the mob when you got the arrow in). If a mob can not move, it will hardly get any torpor from the arrows. This is the end of “stuck taming,” I fear. What it means is that the more the target pulls on the rope, the more torpor gets added. The rope arrows do not simply ‘inject’ torpor like in Ark but will ‘tick’ torpor on the target. When you fire the hooked arrow at the animal, you must press the left click again to hook the other end of the rope to the ground. Then adjourn out and look for an animal to tame. You will need a ranged weapon like a bow, some hook arrows, and a feeding trough (as well as food, of course). Participate in Player vs.You will need to advance in ranged crafting and taming first (or steal/buy the needed stuff) to tame animals.

(Image credit: Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin smart speaker)ĭepending on the wireless router you use, it is often possible to also run a speed test through its dedicated smartphone app. Run a speed test using your wireless provider Wifi signal test install#If you take time to experiment with it you’ll also be able to identify the optimal spot for your wireless router, as well as pinpoint where you might need to install WiFi extenders. The beauty of these apps is that you can use them to discover the best and worst spots in your home for WiFi signals. Many Wi-Fi speed apps actually just test broadband speed, but Wi-Fi Speed Test (opens in new tab) for Android and Wi-Fi Sweetspots (opens in new tab) for iOS do it well. It doesn’t matter if you have lightning fast broadband if your WiFi speeds are tortoise slow. When running the test make sure nothing else is using your internet connection, and if possible, plug your laptop into your router for the most accurate readings. It’s also a great way to compare the speeds you’re getting with other networks, and upgrade if necessary. Why bother to test your broadband speed? Firstly, you can check that you’re getting the speeds you’re paying for, and if there’s an issue, you can take up with your broadband provider. This is just one of the best wifi booster apps that can help. This is important for real-time applications such as online gaming and video calls. The speed test should also show your 'ping' which is the latency of your connection. The 30 second test will show results in Mbps (megabits per second) and as a basic guide a good download speed is at least 25 Mbps, and a good upload speed is at least 3 Mbps. Broadband Speed Checker (opens in new tab) is a simple online tool that shows your home’s download and upload speeds.

The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark or fuþark (derived from their first six letters of the script: F, U, Þ, A, R, and K) the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc or fuþorc (due to sound-changes undergone in Old English by the names of those six letters). Examples of this are often referred to as Begriffsrunen by academics. In addition to representing a sound value (a phoneme), runes can be used to represent the concepts after which they are named ( ideographs). Runes were used to write various Germanic languages (with some exceptions) before they adopted the Latin alphabet, and for specialised purposes thereafter. Runes are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets native to the Germanic peoples. BCEĪdlam (slight influence from Arabic) 1989 CE

If it's a rental, there should be a responsible owner willing to fix the defects the police have uncovered. And "red tagging" it seems a bit excessive. I'm not convinced the warrant was justified but if I could have listened in to the scanner chatter, maybe I would be better informed. Maybe they should get warrants for all of PA's "ghost houses". Is that a "sign" that weeds are growing inside as well? What kind of noise was observed? Was it the sound of a chainsaw, harvesting weed with trunks so thick, a set of pruning shears weren't enough? And what, pray tell, was "visible" at nearly 1:00 in the morning? From the outside I can see lots of weeds in the yard. The red tag warned that the house is unsafe to enter or occupy due to "unauthorized electrical, plumbing, HVAC installation, dangerous use of power and gas throughout and violations of use and occupancy." An outer glass window on the door had been shattered, a visit to the residence revealed on Aug.
