Hue white and color ambiance1/14/2024 ![]() I didn’t think that I’d want to switch to the ‘bluey-whites’ color temperature much, but I often do. Well the answer is… it’s really up to you! Read on for what I do personally, but if you think that you’d benefit from switching to bluey-whites (or pure white), white ambiance will be perfect for you.īut if you mainly want a bulb to dim and turn on/off with your voice, Hue White will work just fine.Īll I’d suggest is to try a single white ambiance bulb at least once if you can. These are often more common-place in shops.Īnd since Philips Hue’s white bulbs are “warm white” too, do you really need to upgrade to white ambiance bulbs? Both can be dimmed (and turned on/off) just fine, after all. If you’ve not thought about your light bulbs too much, you’ve probably been buying “warm white” bulbs for years without realizing it. Two of my White and White ambiance Philips Hue boxes. This raises the next question: Do You Really Need to Pay More for Philips Hue’s White Ambiance Bulbs? Whilst Hue bulbs are regularly available in sales, the discount tends to apply equally to all their bulb types. So whilst you’re better off buying a twin pack for the cost savings, the white ambiance bulbs are still at least 50% more than the pure-white ones. The following compares the price of different A19 Hue bulbs on Amazon right now:Ī price comparison of Philips Hue’s A19 bulbs on Philips Hue’s white ambiance bulbs contain extra LEDs to allow for the different light colors you can choose, but this naturally comes at an extra cost. But of course, this comes at a higher price… How the Price Varies Between Hue’s White and Ambiance Bulbs So that’s the main difference between Hue’s White and White Ambiance bulbs: one is set to warm white, whilst the other allows you to change between different white colors. This is the sort of light you’d have in the evening time, and it looks as follows: Okay, that’s kind of obvious, but it’s worth saying: You can’t change the bulb color, they can only produce 2700 kelvin “warm white”. ![]() Philips Hue’s white bulbs produce one color: white. Related Reading: Can Philips Hue Control Other Bulbs (Smart and Normal Lights)? The Main Difference Between Philips Hue’s White and White Ambiance Bulbs However Hue’s color bulbs cost 4-5x the price of white bulbs and 2-3x the price of ‘white ambiance’ bulbs, so many budget-conscious people ask what the difference is between the cheaper white and white ambiance alternatives… The final bulb type means that the bulb can produce 16 million different colors: from blue to bright orange, and pink to green! This is because these bulbs contain color diodes (RGB – one red, one green, and one blue) along with a white diode to produce good quality white color too (genuine white is hard to produce with just RGB diodes). Philips Hue’s bulbs fall into three main categories: ![]() They are one of the only smart lighting companies to offer syncing with music and TV, meaning that your bulbs can ‘dance’ in time with what’s playing. However Hue earn their status as a premium-end product by having a large product line-up with lots of smart bulbs and all-in-one light fixings, along with a good amount of integration. ![]() Hue are one of the premium-end of the market, meaning that their products are more expensive than many smart light producers (apart from LIFX who are similarly priced, or sometimes more expensive). Philips Hue are a range of smart lights, originally produced by Philips but now owned by Signify (who still use the “Philips Hue” brand name, even though Signify and Philips are different companies). How I got started with smart lighting: a starter kit and four E14 candle bulbs.

Twizzle game1/14/2024 Together with Art Director Reg Hill, Anderson decided to add more details to the sets, cuts and close ups would be introduced all techniques used on films and as yet unheard of in a puppet series. Despite the lack of appeal to be associated with such a project, Anderson decided to raise the standard even though the budget and schedule depicted otherwise. Due to Anderson's desire to improve standards the deadlines would be tight to actually prove profitable models had their finishing touches applied in the morning and were in front of the camera by the same afternoon making last minute improvements close to impossible.Īnderson was aware that puppets up till then were quite grotesque looking, and without personality as well as static in as far as eye movements and facial expressions were concerned. The offer was accepted and the team set to work. A chance to finally start working as a company, as a team, and more importantly a cash injection of £450 per episode meant that beggars can't be choosers. ![]() Six months later, just as money was running out, it finally did when Roberta Leigh and her colleague Suzanne Warner were shopping for a company on behalf of Associated Rediffusion, to work for low budget. With no work from day one, the company's staff were working individually to make ends meet until the phone rang. Gerry Anderson's new company at Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire, was failing before it had a chance to begin. Fifty years later after that first episode aired, the puppets of Gerry Anderson are still watched around the world and probably will be watched for many years to come. ![]() The Adventures of Twizzle was a hit and Anderson led Provis, the crew and voice actors onwards and upwards through a genre that was perceived to be a bread and butter career at best. Though not particularly keen to enter the uninteresting genre of puppet series due to a lack of work and 'needs must' an offer was made and accepted and the team set to work with Anderson raising the bar from the very start. The Adventures of Twizzle was the starting point for AP Films, set up by Gerry Anderson and Arthur Provis. The Mirror Cube solving competitions are not WCA offical events.Gerry Anderson, The Adventures of Twizzle The current world record for solving the Mirror Cube is 20.93 seconds and it was set by Wataru Hashimura. Solving the Mirror Cube is exactly the same as solving the Rubik's Cube, however it is harder to identify each part because the size difference between the puzzle's parts is less obvious than the color difference of the original puzzle's stickers. ![]() ![]() The Mirror Cube was invented in 2006 by Hidetoshi Takeji who at the time called it the " Bump Cube" - The reason for picking that name is the fact that when the puzzle is scrambled it has many "bumps", some parts are larger then the others and stick out. Each of the Mirror Cube's parts has a different size. All of the Mirror Cube's stickers have the same color (traditionally reflective silver or gold - thus its "mirror" like look) but can be difrenciated by size. While having the exact same mechanism, the Rubik's Cube parts all have the same size but differ from one another with the help of colorful stickers, the Mirror Cube is the exact opposite. The Mirror Cube, aka the Bump Cube is a derivative of the original Rubik's Cube. Cockatoo types1/14/2024 ![]() Typically a bed of wood chips makes up their nest. This species competes with other birds for nesting sites generally in a high tree hollow. The birds typically preen each other’s feathers prior to mating. The courtship ritual includes crest raising, head bobbing, and moving the head from side to side in a figure eight pattern while uttering soft chattering sounds. In northern Australia the breeding season is from May to September, and in southern Australia from August to January. This species reaches reproductive maturity at three to four years of age and breeds once a year in Australia. They will also eat newly planted and ripening grain crops. These birds will feed on the ground and in trees, eating mainly nuts, fruits, seeds, blossoms, insects, and insect larvae. Sulpher-crested cockatoos are 18 to 20 inches tall (45 to 50 centimeters). Males have darker brown eyes and females have red tinted brown eyes. Males and females are similar in appearance. Its feathers are pale yellow under the wings and on the tail. This large white bird has a distinctive sulphur yellow-colored crest that may be erected or folded down on the top of their head. It can also be found in urban and suburban areas in parks and gardens. Sulphur-crested cockatoos live in tropical and subtropical rainforests and savanna areas. It has been introduced in New Zealand, Palau, and Singapore. This species is found in Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and nearby islands. The Aquarium’s sulphur-crested cockatoo Lola (a male) is one of the ambassador animals that participate in meet-and-greets at various locations around the Aquarium, including regular appearances at the Pacific Visions entrance.

Jumpcut abuse1/13/2024 ![]() “They’re excited about the idea, excited about the creator. “We find partners who fundamentally care about let’s pay it forward,” Hosanager said. The mentors include notables such as Pulp Fiction producer Lawrence Bender, Emmy-winning producer Shelby Stone ( The Chi), and veteran TV writer and showrunner Scott Rosenbaum ( The Shield, Chuck). Then they’re each paired with a mentor/showrunner to help navigate the intractably human and complicated parts of production. The groups of creators in a given boot camp cohort will continue to be connected with each other for support and ideas. It's about changing the DNA of the entire process.”Ĭreators working with the company go through a six-week “boot camp” to help shape up their projects. It's humans making decisions with better tools. ![]() It's not just soulless data sitting there making decisions. “What is the algorithm not getting? That is at the heart of a company like ours. “What is the data missing?” Hosanager said. The company uses low-res video versions of stories to see which components work with those audiences.īut Hosanager is usefully skeptical about the limits of his own data-driven approach. “When we feel like we're shooting from the hip ourselves, we'll go to the audience and see what they think,” Hosanager said. Target TGT sources for the creators, and for their ultimate projects, hail from across the globe, from India and Indonesia to Nigeria and South Africa, as well as the huge Spanish- and Portuguese-language markets of Latin America. The testing also helps focus on likely market opportunities for a given project, like whether it can “travel” beyond a home market and core audience. In trying to develop projects in a different way, Jumpcut relies on data from A/B testing with “large-scale” online audiences, using that to inform the shape of key plot points. “All the ingredients are here, we don’t have to wait for Hollywood to find them,” Hosanager said. The company already has a dozen projects in various stages of development, working with creators who haven’t yet been discovered by Hollywood. ![]() Besides his formidable academic props, the Bangalore-born Hosanager also has entrepreneurial background, founding and later selling ad-tech company Yodle to Web.com for nearly $350 million.

Maldita castilla ex nsp1/13/2024 ![]() That's a bigger systemic problem because the people who want the service or product and the person making it are separated by a group that has ulterior motives like "buy my totally unrelated product", "I'm keeping my family member from being depressed", "I'm trying to attract business or attention to my country", etc. Yet, that has become a growing expectation in many because work is being supported in obfuscated manner: free with ads, for instance, or the producer is being supported by parents/friends/government for various reasons (it's a passion project! I'm helping my country!). When someone works hard to create something that brings you happiness and would also like to survive, it's pretty awful of the recipient of that something to expect that no exchange is necessary. Capitalism is about a goal of profit and is a guiding system for government and/or industry, etc. Thu 13th Jul goods and services using a money system is not some negative effect of capitalism, it's a replacement for barter which is impossible to scale.The message is clear to master Cursed Castilla EX you need to raise your game and play it repeatedly until your skills are so advanced that you can best each level without losing a life. Unlimited continues soften the blow but once you've used a certain number the game chides you for progressing, stating that your "soul" is at stake. The three-hit health system might seem like a concession but the game is arguably tougher than Capcom's series in places enemy patterns have to be studied and weapons used sensibly to ensure survival. Like Ghosts 'n Goblins, Cursed Castilla EX is often brutal, but never unfair. The opening level's theme is especially infectious, while stage three's track is strident and urgent, pushing Don Ramiro forward through a sinister and monster-infested fortress. A perfect fit for the faux-retro visuals of the game itself, the soundtrack is as authentic as they come and manages to get the pulse racing in the same way that classic coin-op tunes did in the '80s and '90s. The music is supplied by Javier Garcia, a chiptune musician who is better known by the name of Gryzor87. The lower 3DS display shows the bottom half of the cabinet, complete with a working hatch which can be opened via the touchscreen to toggle the machine's DIP switches, altering the video mode and changing controls. The action is presented in an arcade cabinet, with the upper screen looking slightly recessed, as if it's a monitor behind a plate of glass. In fact, we'd go as far as to say that even if you've played the game on your PC or Android device, it's worth paying for on 3DS simply to see how well the glasses-free 3D effects hold up. The visuals are wonderful, with some great sprite work and memorable levels which benefit greatly from the 3DS' autostereoscopic display. When you consider that Cursed Castilla EX has been created by a single person, it ranks as a truly remarkable feat from a gameplay and artistic perspective. You can also collect coins and valuable items to boost your score. These pick-ups are extremely useful on Cursed Castilla EX's trickier levels, but there are other items - such as keys - which grant access to bonus items that are tracked using the game's achievement system. The shield means you can withstand an additional hit, while a special potion grants temporary invincibility. Blue Fairies orbit our hero and lend assistance by throwing glowing orbs at enemies, while the winged boots allow Don Ramiro to jump twice in the air - a neat trick borrowed from Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. In additional to his main weapons, Don Ramiro can also call upon special sub-items to make his quest to liberate Castile that little bit easier. ![]() ![]() Experimenting with these and other weapons is key, and unlike Ghosts 'n Goblins you aren't saddled with unwanted pick-ups - the weapon icon cycles through all of the available options so you can always get the one you desire. Axes are powerful and are chucked in an arc, as is Holy Fire. The default sword is your basic projectile and shoots directly forwards, while weaker daggers fan out in groups of three, allowing you to hit targets above and below you. It's possible to throw weapons in the four main directions of the compass, so you can hit enemies above you and hurl them downwards when jumping.Īt various points you're given the opportunity to pick up another weapon, with each variant coming with its own inherent strengths and weaknesses. Our hero Don Ramiro is a close match for Arthur, and can hurl projectile weapons at his foes (although getting hit merely knocks off one of his three hearts - you don't get to see him running around in his underwear in this title). Inspired by sixteenth-century Spanish literary classic Amadis of Gaul and set in the historical Kingdom of Castile, the game feels very much like a spiritual successor to Capcom's arcade classic. Tuning the anchoring fd viruses1/13/2024 Smit, Understanding Molecular Simulation: From Algorithms to Applications, Computational Science Series, Vol. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that the mixture of DNA-coated fd-viruses and gold nanoparticles undergoes a non-equilibrium gelation via an arrested spinodal decomposition mechanism. The spinodal decomposition leads to the formation of small clusters of bonded rods and spheres whose further diffusion and aggregation leads to the formation of a percolating network in the system. Viral host shutoff RNases include the influenza A virus polymerase acidic-X (PA-X), the herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and -2) virion host shutoff protein (vhs), and the Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) shutoff and exonuclease (SOX) protein and its homologs, muSOX from murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) and BGLF5 from EpsteinBarr virus (EBV). In the experimental conditions, we find evidence of a phase separation occurring either via nucleation-and-growth or via spinodal decomposition. Specifically, we model the system as a binary mixture of hard rods and hard spheres mutually interacting via a short-range square-well attractive potential. In order to shed light on the gelation mechanism, we introduce a model closely mimicking the experimental one and we explore via Monte Carlo simulations its equilibrium phase diagram. ![]() Upon quenching below the DNA melt temperature, such a system results in a highly porous gel state, that may be developed in a new functional material of tunable porosity. It is concluded that the homeotropic ordering of liquid crystals is a signature of the presence of enveloped viruses present on surfaces and suggests new approaches to the design of nanostructured materials that incorporate viruses as well as methods that can be used to amplify the existence of nanoscopic virions into micrometer-sized domains of liquid crystal that can been optically probed. A new gel-forming colloidal system based on a binary mixture of fd-viruses and gold nanoparticles functionalized with complementary DNA single strands has been recently introduced.
