12/25/2023 0 Comments Dark bird sketch![]() Then I added an area of dark shading on the left side of each. The top edge of this wing I started by defining the shape of each little feather. These are much finer and they require a bit of darker shading towards. So, for this I started off by working on the feathers on top of the wing. As well after that it was time to work on the most prominent part of this away drawing and that's was the wing in the foreground. But making sure those feathers are much more defined with some darker shading to the underside of them. The same sort of process happened for the tail as well. But kind of elongating those feathers and using some longer strokes of the pencil. The bird's body following the same process that I used for the bird's heads. I'd added the shading and the details to the bird's head. It really helps to make these animals stand out from the page once. This layered effect and I find that this is actually a really nice and an easier way of creating a simple feather or fur texture for the bird’s beak. I use the eraser again it just kind of builds up. The blending stick to add some stripes of smoothing. I usually go through the process a few times where I add more lot more pencil lines over the top of that use. The shading between those lines and then after that I use the small eraser to add some of highlighting. I use the blending stick over the top of that to smooth. I like to start off by adding some quick fine strokes with the pencil. ![]() So out of the way first when it comes to adding a feather or a fur texture and its so easy drawing for kids. I started off actually by shading the bird's head and body just getting that part off. ![]() Once those outlines were completed, I then moved on to working on the shading. All of the feathers looked as correct as possible. So, I wanted to make sure I spent a bit of extra time making sure. The wing in the foreground is the most prominent and detailed part of this drawing. Once I had placed those outlines that's when I started adding. First before I started adding any sketching and any details over the top of them. It took me a few attempts to get the rough outlines of the wings. So, I like to work that how to draw on the complete outline of the wings.įirst and then proceed to add the feathers over the top of that afterwards. First before you've got the proportions of the wings drawn out. ![]() It would be a bad idea to work on the feathers. This is also really important when you're working on the wings. Just kind of figuring them out with some very light rough sketches. At this point is just about getting an accurate idea of the proportions. It doesn't matter about the quality of the lines. I proceeded to sketch the rest of the body of the bird in a very rough way. The eye is actually very close to the corner of the bird's mouth.

12/25/2023 0 Comments Well that escalated quickly starfinder![]() Forgefiends I appreciate just for the possibility of destroying some PC gear. I still don't really "get" taiga giants (nomadic ancestor-worshipping giants) or what they bring to the table that other giants don't. Lovecraft fans will appreciate the hounds of tindalos (extraplanar menaces), and I like the inclusion of some example victims that could be incorporated into a game. Redcaps (malevolent fey) are great-memorable and creepy. Deathwebs (gargantuan undead spiders) and runeslaves (a template for giants that gives them short bursts of speed at the cost of their lifespan) are reasonably interesting. The bestiary introduces six new monsters. Eando Kline is exactly what a Pathfinder should be, and I'm looking forward to sitting down and reading these stories all at once at a future date. In some ways it's a bit of a gazetteer for Korvosa, and would serve nicely as an introduction to the city for Curse of the Crimson Throne players and GMs. It's good, exciting storytelling (with just the edge I love) that involves theft, a cool fight in the sewers of Korvosa, and an awesome escape from a thieves' guild. Things pick up with "Fool's Gold" (6 pages), the continuation of Pathfinder Eando Kline's tale. Overall, the section didn't incline me to want to use dragons in Pathfinder, or persuade me that Golarion had better lore on the topic than many other campaign settings. Most of this section isn't Golarion-specific, and the only bits that I found original were their genealogical obelisks and their obsession with numerology. The section goes on to discuss each of the colours of dragons, ascribing them astrology-like personality traits. "Dragons of Golarion: The Myth and the Flame" (12 pages) details the legendary origins of dragons and it's. It's readily apparent just from this how much quality writing and artwork goes into each issue. The section introduces a couple of new pieces of equipment ("shatter boulder" and "mammoth lance") as well as a few adventure hooks for incorporating stone giants into adventures outside the scope of the AP. Stone giants in Golarion live simple lives and are in tune with nature, but they're not "savage" or "uncivilized." They have an intriguing history dating to ancient Thassilon, and this article goes into additional cultural matters such as their daily life, how they view death, their treatment of magic, and their religion. "Born of Stone: A Pathfinder's Guide to Stone Giants" (6 pages) provides a very detailed ecology of the race. AP # 4 includes four major sections after the adventure portion concludes: an article on stone giants, an article on dragons, a piece of fiction featuring Eando Kline, and a bestiary. In my traditional backwards fashion for these reviews, I'll cover the back-matter of the AP volume first because it won't spoil the adventure.

We spent Amazon’s first 25 years building a very large fulfillment network, and then had to double it in the last 24 months to meet customer demand. This growth also created short-term logistics and cost challenges. We weren’t sure what to expect in 2021, but the fact that we continued to grow at double digit rates (with a two-year Consumer compounded annual growth rate of 29%) was encouraging as customers appreciated the role Amazon played for them during the pandemic, and started using Amazon for a larger amount of their household purchases. We realized the equivalent of three years’ forecasted growth in about 15 months.Īs the world opened up again starting in late Q2 2021, and more people ventured out to eat, shop, and travel, consumer spending returned to being spread over many more entities. In 2020, Amazon’s North America and International Consumer revenue grew 39% YoY on the very large 2019 revenue base of $245 billion and, this extraordinary growth extended into 2021 with revenue increasing 43% YoY in Q1 2021. This shift by so many companies (along with the economy recovering) helped re-accelerate AWS’s revenue growth to 37% YoY in 2021.Ĭonversely, our Consumer revenue grew dramatically in 2020. Many concluded that they didn’t want to continue managing their technology infrastructure themselves, and made the decision to accelerate their move to the cloud. ![]() Concurrently, companies were stepping back and determining what they wanted to change coming out of the pandemic. This was due in part to the uncertainty and slowing demand that so many businesses encountered, but also in part to our helping companies optimize their AWS footprint to save money. In the first year of the pandemic, AWS revenue continued to grow at a rapid clip-30% year over year (“YoY”) in 2020 on a $35 billion annual revenue base in 2019-but slower than the 37% YoY growth in 2019. Our AWS and Consumer businesses have had different demand trajectories during the pandemic. Whether companies saw extraordinary demand spikes, or demand diminish quickly with reduced external consumption, the cloud’s elasticity to scale capacity up and down quickly, as well as AWS’s unusually broad functionality helped millions of companies adjust to these difficult circumstances. AWS played a major role in enabling this business continuity. Businesses and governments also had to shift, practically overnight, from working with colleagues and technology on-premises to working remotely. ![]() This meant that hundreds of millions of people relied on Amazon for PPE, food, clothing, and various other items that helped them navigate this unprecedented time. ![]() Whatever role Amazon played in the world up to that point became further magnified as most physical venues shut down for long periods of time and people spent their days at home. When the pandemic started in early 2020, few people thought it would be as expansive or long-running as it’s been. Jeff set the bar high on these letters, and I will try to keep them worth reading. But, this is the first time I’ve had the honor of writing our annual shareholder letter as CEO of Amazon. Over the past 25 years at Amazon, I’ve had the opportunity to write many narratives, emails, letters, and keynotes for employees, customers, and partners. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Mac os 9.2 2![]() ![]() Close the window which appears, then close the System Folder.

However this plays out, there is no doubt that battery-electric vehicles and all other alternative transportation options for commercial use are here to stay. The market is facing the ‘chicken or egg’ paradox – should the EV trucks be built first, or should the EV charging infrastructure come first? More than 12,000 enthusiastic professionals were working together to solve various interesting and challenging problems, from infrastructure issues to utility power problems. To sum up ACT 2023, there was no way to miss the buzz happening at the Anaheim Convention Center. Most interestingly and more importantly, it is helping fleets change convert their fleet makeup from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to alternative fuels like battery-electric, natural gas, or hydrogen fuel cell. We’ve been involved in the electric vehicle infrastructure business since 2009 and have enjoyed watching the industry grow. These clients wanted to decarbonize their fleets, and their ambitions have only grown stronger.īeing part of this EV revolution during the past decade has been a real pleasure. I remember those early years working with several of our clients who were early adopters of electric and natural gas vehicles. There were a few startup battery-electric chassis companies that simply “Frankensteined” internal-combustion chassis to fashion electric models. Historically, the event was predominantly about natural gas conversion vehicles and new natural gas commercial vehicles. I have attended ACT Expo over the past decade. Hydrogen fuel-cell trucks and fueling stations for Class 3 through 8 vehicles were also highlighted this year. This year’s ACT Expo primarily focused on battery-electric vehicles (BEV), with a big showing by many OEMs with new vehicles that have been brought to market during the last few years. The charging community was also well represented this year by the likes of ChargePoint, Blink, BorgWarner, Heliox, and many more. It included vehicle OEMs such as Daimler, Navistar, Volvo, Paccar, and Nikola in the commercial vehicle market. The show floor space was incredible, comprised of hundreds of large and small vendors passionate about driving the decarbonization of the transportation industry.

However, the video quality at youtube and google videos leaves much to be desired. I created a small screencast to show how all this works out. For example the following command will create a 800×600 video from the 1024×768 video: You can resize the screencasts by using, (…surprise!…) ffmpeg. $xwininfo -frame will give you the geometry of a window, including the window decorations (the title-bar, scrollbar etc). I find the “ xwininfo” command to be pretty useful to find these parameters. If you want to create a screencast of only one application window, or a specific portion of your desktop, you can do that by specifying the offsets (always calculated from the top-left of the desktop) and the size of the area to be captured. You can change these and the other options (refer to the documentation for ffmpeg). The video file “test.avi” will be created in your home folder. s 1024×768 says that the size of the video to be captured is 1024×768. vd x11:0,0 says that the offset to use for recording is x=0 and y=0 I find the following command good for my purposes: You can use this to create your screencasts. That’s it! Now you have an executable called “ffmpeg” in the directory you are in (~/software/ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20051216/) $./configure -extra-ldflags=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -enable-x11grab -enable-gpl Let’s get started now, configure the beast: $sudo apt-get install build-essential xlibs-dev The “build-essential” package will give you the compiler and other tools needed to compile packages, and the “xlibs-dev” package will be required to compile ffmpeg successfully. Now before we start compiling the source, you will need a couple of packages installed on your computer. So now you are in the newly created “software” directory. ![]() This is optional, you don’t have to do it, but I do this to keep things organized on my computer: Open a terminal, and create a new directory called “software” in your home directory. ![]() You will need to patch, compile, and use ffmpeg to generate the screencasts. So, as usual, my job is to publicize what is already known to a few. A commenter mentioned how there was an article at explaining the process, and even posted instructions on how to be able to do this. The screencasting method I present here is not something I came up with. Screencasting can be very useful for explaining new concepts, demonstrating beta products, and heck, maybe even for filing better bug reports!

However, over time, the ropes can potentially break. As the ropes stretch due to the weight on the cover, you will need to have them adjusted so that the cover material continues to come out square to the shallow end of the pool. If you’ve ever closed your cover and heard a loud “pop” sound as one side of your cover stopped moving, that’s often the sound of a broken rope.Īutomatic pool covers are powered by a motor, ropes, and a pulley system. However, if none of the previously mentioned tips help, you may need to make a service call to a pool maintenance technician to inspect your system, align the cover back on its track, or make necessary repairs or replacements. In some instances, the rope can become entangled around the system’s reels or require adjustment to ensure that they pull the cover simultaneously. ![]() If your automatic pool cover has power, but the cover won’t open or close, rather than forcing the cover to move, many pool technicians recommend examining the tracks for any noticeable impediments, such as dirt or debris.Īdditionally, lifting the lid of the pool cover will allow you to inspect the system for any issues pertaining to the cover’s rope. One of the most common reasons this will occur is if the cover is operated while there is excess water on top of it. There are different reasons a pool cover might come off of its tracks. While owning an automatic pool cover is convenient, it is not uncommon for the pool cover to occasionally fall off the tracks. While smaller-sized holes can be fixed using a patch kit, depending on the severity of the damage to your pool cover material, you may need to call a pool maintenance specialist to complete the repairs or replace your pool cover. Rodents have been known to chew at these covers even while retracted and stored in the cover box. While most damage to the pool cover is often due to stress from water weight or people walking across the surface, rodents such as mice, chipmunks, and squirrels are also known to gnaw holes through many pool covers. Holes or Tears in the CoverĪlthough most automatic pool covers can last many years, as the material ages, it’s not uncommon for the pool cover material to fray or rip, resulting in tears or holes.
