Some of the transforming Microman toys and vehicles from the Micro Change series created within the 1980s New Microman toyline were licensed by Hasbro, along with other similar transforming toys from Takara's Diaclone toyline, in the 1980s to be a part of Hasbro's Transformers toyline in the United States. The Microman toyline was licensed and released in the United States by Mego Corporation as the Micronauts from 1976–1980. Many of the Microman toys used interchangeable 5-millimetre (0.20 in) connectors and ports that allowed parts to be transferred and connected between different toys. The toyline also included vehicles, robots, playsets and accessories. The core of the Microman line consisted of 3.75-inch-tall (9.5 cm) action figures which were known for their high number of articulation points relative to other toys of similar size/scale in the 1970s. 4.4 Microman: The Small Giant Studio Pierrot Anime (1999)Ī photo of a vintage Microman M101 (George) 3.75-inch-tall (9.5 cm) action figure with capsule in the background.4.3 Microman: The Small Giant Comic BomBom manga (1998-1999).4.2 Microman Secret File Volume 1 catalog and manga (1984).4.1 Microman Kodansha TV Magazine manga (1978-79).3 Microman toyline influence outside Japan.2.2.4 Micro Change to Transformers (1984).

![]() This phone has a 2x optical zoom, but a 10x digital zoom. ![]() Take the shot below from an iPhone Xs, for example. A long telephoto lens for a DSLR, like those you see sports photographers using at games, has a focal length of between 500-1,000mm. The optical zoom comes from lenses with long focal lengths that are at least relative to the camera’s sensor size. There’s no loss in quality-objects just appear closer. If you view the moon through one, it looks bigger. For example, a telescope is all optical zoom. Optical zoom is when the physical properties of a lens genuinely magnify distant objects. All you really need to know, though, is zoom depends on the underlying focal length of a lens and the size of the sensor-and that it’s a bit disconnected from reality.īut what’s the difference between optical and real zoom (I’ll keep using this word for the sake of convenience, but what I really mean is “apparent magnification” or “narrower relative field of view”)? How Optical Zoom Works ![]() If you want to know more, you can check out this piece on how zoom specs are calculated. The Huawei P40 Pro also has a periscope lens with a 5x optical zoom. Unlike with compact cameras, this means you can expect mostly the same rough magnification with different 10x-zoom smartphones. Smartphones like the iPhone 11 Pro add an even wider lens and call it a 0.5x zoom, rather than resetting 1x to the new widest angle. A 1x zoom is broadly accepted as the field of view of the main camera. Smartphone manufacturers, however, use zoom slightly differently. This meant a lens with 10x zoom didn’t necessarily make things look 10 times bigger. So, a 10mm-100mm lens had 10x zoom, while a 25mm-100mm lens had a 4x zoom. Originally, it was the ratio between the shortest and longest focal lengths of a lens. Zoom, as we use it now, is basically a marketing concept popularized by compact cameras. The marketing for the Huawei P40 Pro’s wide-angle lens claims it has a 0.6x optical zoom. There are enough factors at play that lenses aren’t sold based on how much they magnify objects rather, they’re sold based on their focal length. ![]() “The Court’s holding that our detailed complaint adequately pleads Visa was engaged in a criminal conspiracy to monetize child porn means Visa and other credit card companies are finally going to face the civil and perhaps criminal consequences of this unconscionable and illegal activity,” said Bowe, a partner at Brown Rudick. The plaintiff’s lead attorney Michael Bowe spoke exclusively to The Post about the verdict Saturday night. ![]() It also shot down Visa’s argument that it was an innocent third party, saying the credit card company briefly suspended its ties to Pornhub in 2020 amid allegations it housed thousands of illegal videos before joining forces again. The Central District of California court also ordered MindGeek to undergo jurisdictional discovery and shine a light on its shadowy operations, which the judge said ensures “a hopeless whack-a-mole situation for victims.” “When MindGeek decides to monetize child porn, and Visa decides to continue to allow its payment network to be used for that goal despite knowledge of MindGeek’s monetization of child porn, it is entirely foreseeable that victims of child porn like Plaintiff will suffer the harms that Plaintiff alleges,” the ruling said. Top Pornhub execs resign after accusations of underage, forced sex videos “Here is Visa, standing at and controlling the valve, insisting that it cannot be blamed for the water spill because someone else is wielding the hose,” Carney wrote. In his ruling, US District Court Judge Cormac Carney wrote that there was enough evidence to find that Visa engaged in a criminal conspiracy with the online pornographers. ![]() Visa is claiming it was an innocent third party was denied by a judge when the credit card company motioned to be removed from the lawsuit. Still underage, she began acting in other porn videos produced by an older man to support her habit, the lawsuit said. The plaintiff fell into a deep depression, tried to kill herself and became a heroin user after her unwanted infamy, she claimed. The illicit clip was still on the company’s sites as recently as 2020, according to the suit. The decision was made in connection with a suit filed by a woman who claims Pornhub dragged its heels after she warned it was hosting an explicit video taken of her when she was 13 - at one point requiring photographic evidence that she was the same child in the video.Īfter several weeks, the clip, entitled “13-Year Old Brunette Shows Off For the Camera,” was taken down but reuploaded on other MindGeek sites in 2014, garnering millions of views and earning the company advertising money facilitated by Visa, the victim alleged. The court denied Visa’s motion to be dropped from a lawsuit against porn parent company MindGeek, ruling there was enough evidence to show the company “knowingly provid the tool used to complete the crime” of distributing child pornography. Woman who kept ‘sex slaves’ weeps in court as she appeals convictionĪ federal judge ruled Friday that Visa helped Pornhub “monetize child porn” and sex trafficking - a decision that could have long-lasting implications for credit card companies, legal observers say. Sarah Lawrence sex-cult leader’s top lieutenant faces 5 years after admitting guilt Teen trafficking victim ordered to pay $150K in restitution to family of rapist she killed Kelly found guilty in federal child porn trial in Chicago They made it to a rooftop and killed many of them, but one last one was able to shoot her as they ran. She pledged to stay with him to the end and, indeed, the store was ambushed and they had to fight their way out. After, Julia watched Spike get more than enough supplies than they needed, and realized he intended to kill Vicious. They went to get supplies at Annie's store however, they found the syndicate has also paid her a visit, as she was dying of a gunshot wound. She wanted to run away with him, together, and Spike left with her. She held her gun as she was supposed to the last time, but couldn't shoot him. Julia waited at the graveyard for Spike and, inevitably, he came. Faye didn't understand until Julia dropped her off and revealed who she was by asking her to tell Spike she'll be "at the place." Julia eventually recognized Faye as an acquaintance of Spike's and asked her subtly where she could find bounty hunters, without mentioning his name. Julia had her enter the car while they lay low off the highway. Faye decided to shoot at her pursuers and was able to cause them to crash. By chance, she drove by Faye Valentine there. She was soon pursued by syndicate men by car and headed for the airport. The Van wanted to eliminate any connections to Vicious. In 2071, Julia, living in Tharsis, was tipped off by Shin that the syndicate was coming after her. Immediately, she told him to check inside the music box, revealing a solar transmitter which signaled Vicious had betrayed Gren. They became friends and so she told Gren about Spike, and he told her about Vicious and the music box he gave him. In 2069, Julia went to Callisto and met Gren at the Rester House. She wouldn't be able to tell him about Vicious' threats. Instead, she ripped up the paper with the location on it and went into hiding while Spike knowingly walked into an ambush, presumed by the Syndicate to have died. He confronted Julia by telling her that she would have to kill Spike at the graveyard, or else they would both be killed. Spike wrote her a letter arranging to meet at a graveyard later however, Vicious had discovered the affair. That night started a dangerous affair that led to Spike offering to abandon the Syndicate and elope with her, despite the fact that the Syndicate punishes desertion with death. One day in 2068, she nursed Spike back to health after he was critically injured and collapsed outside her apartment. Julia, Vicious and Spike Spiegel were comrades in the Red Dragon Syndicate and she had a relationship with Vicious in the 2060s. They need to have a fantastic music soundtrack, and it needs to retain the smoking, as it’s an iconic part of the anime.Julia is a beautiful young woman with shoulder-length blonde hair that has bangs hanging over her forehead and light blue eyes. I will be nitpicky because I want the Netflix adaptation to get people to watch the anime, and while it probably won’t be a perfect adaptation, there are some things they really need to do the best they can: A great cast, people are complaining that Jet Black is being played by a black actor, but that doesn’t bother me as long as he’s a great actor. I’ll be very disappointed if the Netflix adaptation turns out badly. It’s one of my favorite anime titles and I’ve watched it multiple times. It is something that means a lot to the fandom because it has been the introduction of anime to many fans in the early 90s, before the advent of easy, legal access to anime on the internet.Ĭowboy Bebop is also an anime that means a lot to many fans. Netflix Needs to Respect the Source Material This Is One of the Most Influential Anime in the Last 20 YearsĬowboy Bebop is an anime series beloved by many anime fans for two decades. It involves addressing thoughts and behaviours around sleep, looks at why sleep problems may have developed, and how to improve them. This therapy usually takes place with a psychologist, over four to five sessions. However, evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia, delivered by a trained health expert, is generally required to address the cause of your sleep issues. Relaxation and noise may improve your sleep. Your GP can diagnose, provide treatment options and refer you for treatment if needed. If you have persistent difficulty falling or remaining asleep, are waking too early, and are feeling unrefreshed during the day, your problems should be checked by a medical professional. ( Pexels: Miriam Alonso) When to get your sleep problems checked out If you have persistent difficulty falling or remaining asleep, your problems should be checked by a medical professional. Ultimately, these are the benefits most of us seek from a good night's sleep. Auditory stimulation using pink noise may increase slow-wave sleep (deep sleep) in older people.įew studies have directly examined how improved sleep using noise benefits daytime mood and functioning. Some studies suggest white and pink noise helps us fall asleep quicker and improves sleep quality, but the quality of science is low.Īuditory stimulation may improve memory in young healthy people. However, there is some limited science about the impact of white or pink noise. Researchers have not specifically examined the impact of brown noise on sleep. So, is TikTok right? Does brown noise work? ![]() This involves low-frequency tones being played in an attempt to "boost" certain sleep stages (for instance, "deep" sleep), perhaps improving sleep quality. If noise is annoying then it will hinder sleep and be a reinforcing stimulus for interrupted sleep.Īuditory stimulation is not specific to pink, white or brown noise. In this way, noise is a reinforced stimulus for good sleep. If noise is relaxing, then pairing noise with sleep may improve the person's ability to fall and remain asleep. In a quiet country town, the same car alarm or dog barking will sound much louder and may be more likely to wake us, than in a busy city centre.Ĭlassical conditioning is a way of learning and can explain how we respond to noise during sleep. But masking, through constant background noise, "drowns out" isolated loud noise. ![]() In addition, a neo pixel LED provides a user’s feedback directly on the upcycled artifact.Ī project by Jessica Broscheit and Fabian Erdmann.Our brain continues to process external sounds when we sleep and loud noise can wake us. When a user touches the unicorn’s horn, the unicorn publishes a message to the home automation environment and activates the rainbow lighting. ![]() To this end, the unicorn uses the ESP32 microcontroller and the capacitive sensor. To control the ambient light, we integrated the artifact into the Living Place Lab. ![]() Through the placement of the screw on the horse’s head, the porcelain horse transformed into a unicorn. To do so, we purchased a vintage porcelain horse on the flea market and upcycled it with conductive components, such as a screw. Therefore, this project considers the integration of personal artifacts into a home automation system. But a lot of these things are not meant to be integrated in ubiquitous computing environments. Sentimental artifacts, heirlooms, and personal belongings-displayed in homes-represent a person’s identity and social world. The Unicorn is a tangible interface to control the ambient light in the Living Place Lab. I know I have not yet provided any results of my efforts on the Boom extensions - a fact which I deeply regret. Of course, with this Eternity also needs to be in the boat. What would be great if that discussion about an advanced Boom standard could be resurrected and a few features that are sorely missing from Boom could be added. The main question is what could be done with this and where to draw the line. Maintaining two ports may not work out so if someone could provide a bit of help it would be appreciated. "advanced demons that were sent to Earth.", "arsenal, you're ready to face the more", "didn't understand that you're the reason", InterText = "Baphomet was only doing Satan's bidding", In case someone is too lazy to go hunting for it. Here's the relevant thread from the ZDoom forum where the problem was initially discovered:Ĭan I get umapinfo example? Does this allow end map in any slot? I'd like to test it on my boom project and see how it works. Just looking at the glitches it was very obvious that something goes wrong when certain angle values get converted between floating point and angle_t. It seems to me that the renderer assumes to get wraparound behavior, but to my knowledge you will only get that with x87 and a float to int conversion function that doesn't use SSE2 if available. I have observed these 3 scenarios with different instruction sets or CPUs. an error code is returned (if the input value is out of bounds it will always return the same value.) anything smaller gets set to the smallest representable value, anything larger to the biggest representable one) the value is clamped to the target's range (i.e. the value discards the upper bits and wraps around. And in this case 'undefined' really means undefined. negative for unsigned or >= 0x80000000 for a signed int) the result of that conversion is undefined. No document, but the catch here is that if you cast a float to an int and the float's value is outside the valid range for the target type (e.g. Could you probably point to some document which is availablre online and which I could use to educate myself? It allows players to connect to multiplayer servers and play against others online just like current multiplayer shooters such as games from the Battlefield and Call of Duty Series of games.Is this about rounding? I somehow fail to see how else converting a number from a floating point representation to an int could make such a difference.

While tattoos are becoming more and more commonplace nowadays, it doesn’t take away that tattoos should be well thought out and planned to avoid regretting them later on. ![]() ![]() The powerplant is a variation of the redoubtable K5 GSX-R1000 (2005-2008) four-cylinder and proves to be a willing accomplice whether tooling around town or chasing triple digits on a deserted road. Switchgear on the left handlebar controls the various functions in a reasonably intuitive manner. It’s easily readable, but it’s lacking in vibrancy compared with the latest color thin film transistor displays. Instrumentation is via a sizeable LCD panel that includes most of the typical niceties, such as gear position, fuel consumption and range, and the level of traction control (three settings plus off) selected. Suzuki’s accessory windscreen, aka Meter Visor ($ 199.95), can help. In case it’s not obvious, wind protection is minimal. The attractively styled two-tone seat (black and silver, like the original) doesn’t look especially comfortable, but it truly is, even after an hour or more aboard. The Katana’s riding position is wonderfully neutral for a sporty bike, with a modest lean forward to the tapered aluminum handlebar and a fairly generous amount of leg room. Finish detailing is beyond what we sometimes see from Suzuki, befitting its $ 13,499 MSRP. Suzuki boasts that the Katana is the first U.S.-specification Suzook to be equipped with LED turn signals, the fronts with clear lenses neatly integrated into the front cowl. The rear end is further cleaned up by a stubby exhaust outlet enabled by the muffler canister under the engine, a system that appears identical to the GSX-S’s. Mounted to a braced aluminum swingarm from the 2016 GSX-R1000 is a rear fender appendage incorporating turn signals and license-plate mount, leaving a nicely tidy tail section. It is simultaneously nostalgic and modern, led by a retro-fabulous rectangular headlight, now LED and bookended by LED position lights. The journey from “Gixxus” to Katana is a visual transformation, eschewing the GSX-S’s rounded forms for sharper-edged creases. This one is packaged on the GSX-S1000 platform, which remains in Suzuki’s lineup as a roadster or, in S1000F form, a faired sporty bike. Like the first Kat, which used the engine from the GS1100E, the new model uses an existing model as its base. There was nothing like it before or since. ![]() The key ingredient is the Katana’s distinctive style, cribbing from the original Hans Muth design that shocked riders back when motorcycle designs were much more conservative. There’s a reborn Katana for 2020, and there’s much to appreciate about this new one.

The stronghold may also be hard to see due to this same issue. Due to the low light level of the Dark Forest, mobs may spawn under the large roof of the forest. When placed down the shield around the stronghold will be removed. On the pedestal, they must place any trophy. Before being able to enter the stronghold, the player must find a room with a Trophy Pedestal. The Knight Phantom is in a Goblin Knight Stronghold, found in the Dark Forest biome. ![]() It appears as a large hill from the back but a large overhang from the front. The Hydra is in a Hydra Lair, found in the Fire Swamp or Twilight Swamp biomes. There are natural entrances to it around the biome but another good idea is just to dig straight down at the start of the biome and then mine in one direction until you find it. The Minoshroom is in a Labyrinth found under the Twilight Swamp biome. It contains many rooms but the way you will find the Lich itself is a spiral staircase that leads up to where it resides. It cannot be accessed before defeating the Naga, but if it is found before defeating the Naga it is a very good idea to mark the coordinates of it. The Lich is in a Lich Tower, also found in the Forest Biome. The Naga Courtyard can be told apart from the other as it is made of Stone Bricks and is very large. A similar courtyard exists that may seem like the Naga Courtyard but contains automatically-angered Wolf spawners and poor loot. The Naga is in a Naga Courtyard, found around the general Forest biome that you spawn in. |
