![]() ![]() “When I tell people that I’m working on Harold Arlen’s music, they sort of stare at me blankly, not recognizing his name,” Frisch said. “The song’s mix of hope and anxiety has allowed people to read into it their own concerns,” he said, noting that the lyrics are general enough that one would not know the singer was standing in a farmyard with her dog.įrisch defines “Over the Rainbow” as a classic “I want” song, delivered at the outset of a show or film to “express the desires that will motivate the protagonist’s actions.” Freed wanted a ballad that would rival a popular film song of the time, “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated hit Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. One factor of the song’s appeal that Frisch cites is the universality of a childhood desire to get away or escape. ![]() “It might not seem obvious that a song performed by a young girl at the beginning of a fantasy movie would take on a life of its own,” said Walter Frisch, a professor of music whose new book, Arlen and Harburg’s Over the Rainbow, traces the work’s history. In 2001, “Over the Rainbow” was voted the greatest song of the 20th century in a joint survey by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America. It can’t hurt.” More than 75 years later, the film and the song by composer Harold Arlen and lyricist Yip Harburg are cultural touchstones. Mayer, “The song stays-or I go,” to which Mayer replied: “Let the boys have the damn song. For an advance screening, MGM executives had removed “Over the Rainbow” because they felt it slowed down the film.Īssociate producer Arthur Freed stepped in, telling studio head Louis B. When Judy Garland went over the rainbow as Dorothy Gale in the classic 1939 musical The Wizard of Oz, she almost left without singing what was to become her signature number.

![]() Derzeit haben wir keine Beschreibung oder weitere Informationen über den Dateityp ICIRCUIT, aber möglicherweise können wir einige Programme empfehlen, die solche Dateien öffnen können. ![]() Logic gates: AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR and 74XXX parts. ICIRCUIT Jeden Tag tausende Benutzer senden uns Informationen über Programme, mit denen sie verschiedene Dateiformate öffnen. Speakers, Microphones, Buzzers, DC Motors, and LEDs. Supported elements include: Signal generators, Voltage sources, and Current sources. The scope can simultaneously track many signals over time and features a touch interface to control the total time displayed and stacked and unstacked modes to easily compare signals. If you want to see how a value changes over time, then you can add values to the built-in oscilloscope. The app features a multimeter that you use to probe around the circuit to instantly read voltages and currents. The app has everything from simple resistors, to switches, to MOSFETS, to digital gates. There are over 30 elements you can use to build your circuits. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on. You do not stop to take a measurement or spend a lot of time configuring reports. It's just like working with the real circuit. ![]() But iCircuit is unlike other CAD programs because it is always simulating. You use it as you would any CAD program: you add elements, connect them together, and set their properties. It is the perfect companion to students, hobbyists, and engineers. Its advanced simulation engine can handle both analog and digital circuits and features realtime always-on analysis. ICircuit is the premier Windows Phone 7 app for designing and experimenting with circuits.
![]() I could choose a green similar to what is there. So now I’m going to click in the area where I want the color to change and up comes the color picker. So over here in our preview window, we have something called focal points. Now we’re going to use some powerful features to help us fill in this color. This area over here did not get colorized. So now we see that the colorize filter missed something. Highlight colorize and click on this circle. I’m going to come up to filter, neural filters. Then I’m going to come up here to image adjustments black and white, and I have a black and white image now. I’m going to duplicate my layer and change it to a smart object. How to use Focal Point Pins to Colorize your Imageįor this example here, I’m going to change it to black and white. And if you want to go back and change anything, you’re able to do that. You can click over here on the right to reveal the layer effect and you can go back into your neural filter, and double click on it. I highly recommend using Smart Filter as your output option and say, OK. There is the before and there’s the after. Here at the bottom, on the left, you can click on this down here, which says Show Original. ![]() We’re going to go through several examples. So this was a very straightforward image for Photoshop to do colorization. And Photoshop did a pretty good job even with this reflection here. In this case, maybe I want some more saturation, more green. And down here you can twirl this arrow right here which says adjustments and you can adjust these sliders to the desired color balance. And Photoshop Automatically chooses the colors for your image. Just click on this circle right here next to the filter name. So this colorize filter will automatically assign colors to the image using AI. Simply click on the cloud icon to download the filter. I’m going to come up to the main menu and hit filter neural filters and before using the filter for the first time, you’ll need to download it from the cloud. Let’s start off with this black and white image here. Go to image mode, RGB color should be checked. How to Colorize Black and White Photos in Photoshopīefore you start off using the colorize neural filter, make sure that your image is in the RGB mode. But you can also use this filter to get rid of unwanted color casts and color from photography gels. The Colorize Neural Filter will take a black and white photo and colorize it.
We finally have Active Body presets directly in the toolbar, allowing you to quickly setup Ice Cubes or Speedboat simulations. We also improved our GPU Preview with texture support for smoke opacity, added more options to the cache converter tool, we added new presets to the toolbar and improved and sped up many of the old ones. The Phoenix previewer now has mesh preview mode as well. SIMSCENE files are automatically associated with the Phoenix Node Viewer application. The Phoenix Windows installer now associates by default AUR, VDB, F3D and PRT files with the Phoenix Previewer, and also caches can be drag and dropped into it. Still to be added are: Foam/Splash options, support for animated options and animated geometries, resimulation, textures.Īlongside the standalone simulator and standalone previewer, we added a new Simscene Node Viewer that can open Phoenix. We still have a lot of options and capabilities to add to the Standalone Simulator - currently it only supports Simulator and Source nodes, as well as Phoenix node properties. You can view the sim progress in real time with the Phoenix Previewer, and the simulation runs up to 40% faster than inside 3ds Max and Maya. ![]() simscene files from 3ds Max and Maya and it simulates them, producing caches files. We created a separate Phoenix Standalone Simulator, which is just like the V-Ray Standalone - you export. This way your Simulator can render as a Mesh or Isosurface, and the Voxel Shader can overlap this with a volumetric, so you can easily create whitewater based on vorticity or speed, or underwater fog of different density, so you can have god rays showing through it. We added a new Voxel Shader node, which works just like the Particle Shader - you connect it to a Simulator and it renders its voxel data as a volume at the position of the Simulator. The 'B2B Interaction' option got an overhaul and also got renamed to 'Foam Volume', and now it can be used in ocean simulations too. ![]() In Maya, Cosmos assets can now be used as Active Bodies (latest V-Ray 5 is needed for this).įoam Patterns were boring and we added more options to make them more diverse and interesting. Active Bodies can use the Simulator's jammed walls as obstacles now, and you can also choose whether foam would push them together with the liquid or not. ![]() Also, now Active Bodies can be picked in Sources as emitters, in Tuner Expressions, as Render Cutters, and basically in all possible node selector slots in Phoenix, so you can go crazy with different setups and combinations. We improved Active Body simulations and added two new helpers - Thruster that you can use to propel your Active Bodies, and Axis Lock that prevents bodies from rotating or moving in a certain direction. ![]() It’s messy and frustrating, and it’s also just something you’ll have to get used to if you live in Portugal – well, to varying degrees. And, it’s quite rare that anyone ever tells you: you will need to figure these things out for yourself and hope that when you speak to a different person they’re looking for the same form. The hardest part is that you never know which form you need to fill in or which person you need to speak to. Most people know that bureaucracy exists in Portugal, and aren’t surprised when they come up against it. The hardest part of bureaucracy isn’t the bureaucracy itself. Try to get anything done in Portugal, whether it’s starting a business or applying for planning permission, and you’ll run into a little thing called bureaucracy. Instead, weigh up the pros against the cons and then, being honest with yourself, decide if Portugal is right for you. Portugal is Portugal, and you shouldn’t come here hoping for change or expecting change. It’s also not a list of things that Portuguese should change, and it’s definitely not a list of things that Portugal will change – no matter how sensible that change might seem to you. It’s also important to point out that this is a list of the downsides of Portugal primarily from the point of view of an outsider (although Portuguese people often agree with some of the things on this list). As mentioned, there are lots of upsides to living in Portugal, but this website wouldn’t be doing its job if it didn’t give you appropriate expectations. But it’s important to get the full picture before you move somewhere new. Most articles, YouTube videos, and estate agents focus on the upsides rather than the downsides. ![]() ![]() There are lots of pros to living in Portugal – the weather is great, the cost of living is more affordable than in other countries, and the beaches are beautiful – but there are, unsurprisingly, one or two cons as well. More information is here and in the promotional trailer the label released in May, below.Let’s face it: nowhere is perfect. The entire roster, including Indonesian singer NIKI, South Korean rapper Keith Ape, and guests LAFF TRAXX, Yung Bans, Yung Pinch, and Zion.T, are expected to perform. While Japanese-Australian singer Joji handles hook duties, August 08, Rich Brian, and Chinese hip-hop group Higher Brothers provide the verses in both English and in Sichuanese Mandarin.Ĩ8rising intends to introduce their unique blend of Asian youth culture and hip-hop to a wider audience later this summer with its first music festival, also titled Head In The Clouds, at Los Angeles State Historic Park on September 22. The video does what it says on the tin, featuring grainy, home movie-style footage of the label’s artists hanging out during typical summertime activities like pool parties and beach days. After convincing the young Indonesian rapper to change his name, it looks like the label is shifting into high gear promoting Brian and its other artists, Joji, Higher Brothers, and August 08, with a music video for “Summertime Sadness,” the first single from the label’s upcoming compilation album, Head In The Clouds. The “hybrid management, record label, video production and marketing company” came under fire due to its controversial artist Rich Brian’s original moniker, Rich Chigga, which many condemned as a racist troll for attention. 88rising, the LA-based hip-hop label focused on tapping the burgeoning market for rappers of Asian descent, has seen its share of ups and downs since its inception in 2015. ![]() ![]() They don't keep any logs that could identify you or record your activities online. However, in October 2021, they switched jurisdictions to The Netherlands for business reasons. Note: Surfshark was previously based in the British Virgin Islands, as we also noted in our ExpressVPN review. This is important when even the United States seems determined to cripple encryption, with FBI Director Christopher Wray calling for “lawful access” to encrypted communications before the Senate Judiciary Committee in March 2021. It is safely outside the Five Eyes and does not require any mandatory data retention or other privacy abuses we see in the US and UK. We think this is a good privacy jurisdiction. One of Surfshark's many strong points is how well they protect the privacy of their customers. Here's an in-depth look at the pros of Surfshark. Significantly worse performance when using OpenVPN.Good streaming and torrenting performance.A large network with many advanced features.WireGuard support for enhanced performance.Support for most operating systems and devices.So what does this deal mean for customers of the two companies? The merger is meant to “reveal technical knowledge-sharing opportunities and enable more focused market diversification.” It is a strategic business move that should help both companies to thrive over the next few years but doesn't look like it will have any immediate impact on VPN users. According to the blog post announcing the deal, the two companies will continue to operate autonomously, with separate infrastructures and product roadmaps. On February 2, 2022, Nord Security (the parent company of NordVPN) and Surfshark closed a merger deal. We've tested the heck out of this virtual private network and have been very impressed. In this review we're going to cover both the things you'll like about Surfshark (the Pros), and the things that you won't (the Cons). This fast, secure VPN has come out of nowhere to establish itself as one of the industry leaders. Today we're going to talk about one of the hottest VPNs on the market: Surfshark. I'm sure if you look at my browser history you'll find middle-of-the-night searches for last-minute flights from London to California. ![]() In the interest of honesty, my transition to this full immersion in a foreign country was not seamless. So when I took off to study abroad at a British university for my entire junior year, it was monumental. "Try new things" and "Do what scares you"Īs the first child and an admittedly timid one at that, going to college 45 minutes from home (or 3 hours with traffic - L.A. So know that passions are fluid and can change, what's important is being open to the many ways of finding and changing your life passions and goals.Ģ. Right now my passion lies in diversity and higher education, and that can take me in a multitude of directions from here. My resume was starting to look like I was throwing professional darts at the job prospect dart board. By the time I graduated I had worked in sales, marketing, insurance, risk management, telecommunications, and healthcare. At 18 I headed off to UCLA and was set on working in marketing and PR. By 16 I was convinced I’d be a comedy writer. Case in point: When I was 12, I wanted to be a teacher. But unfortunately, as "passion" is not on sale at Target and doesn't come in bulk at Cosco, it takes time and effort to find this thing. This sounds like great advice and I absolutely agree that you should do something you love. So how should we apply these Graduation Advice Classics to our lives? Read on for the ways that these timeless pieces of advice had a real impact on my life, whether I knew it at the time or not: As a soon-to-be Master of Higher Education, I interact with students on a daily basis and I often catch myself giving them the exact same advice that I had heard so many times it started to lose meaning. That's not to say there weren't compelling words of wisdom to send us into the world, but as I'm sure many of us have, I often hear the same advice over and over. Take all the time you need with a piece of art in order to truly see it as it was meant to be.Beyond some laughs and too much sun, I don’t remember much about my college graduation. New thoughts and ideas are notorious for being slow to form. But it takes time to immerse in this depth and complexity. Timeless art has depth, complexity, and elements that resonate with the audience no matter where or when they are from. It’s not meant to be a quick experience in which we see a photograph, then smile and nod before moving on. Sometimes, when you look again, you should be able to feel things you’d not quite felt before, or see new meanings that weren’t evident until you happened to think about the image in a different way from usual. Because when you revisit them, there should be something new to be gained. This is the reason why we should spend time with the photographs that we enjoy. I’ve talked before about spending time with images rather than flipping through them rapidly as our online habits and our instant gratification culture tempts us to do. To my mind, timelessness is the foundational aspect that makes a photograph something we would consider art-worthy. The interesting thing about art is that these laws of timelessness are just as applicable to literature as they are to any other art form, including photography. It could be details that you missed the first time around, or meanings that you’d not seen before. It’s not only because these works are repeatedly enjoyable, but also because each time we revisit them, there’s something new to be gained. ![]() Many of us go back to our favorite books over and over, rereading them every few years. But another way that art is timeless? Let’s use literature as an example again because it’s one of the easiest ways to illustrate the idea. That’s one way in which art can be timeless-by featuring themes that are eternally valid. These are universal parts of the human condition that will always hold true no matter the period of time. But there are certain themes that we will always relate to. Sure, we have more technology, and our environment has changed quite drastically. Stories of love or stories of war, tales that feature strife and conflict-these are all things we experience today. But what does that mean? In the most basic sense, it means that there is something in these books that, despite the passage of time, still resonates with a modern audience. And yet, we still read them today and get value from them. Here, you’ll find works that could be a century old, two centuries, or perhaps even older than that. To see what I mean about the timeless nature of art, look no further than books. Art really is timeless-and that is true across all mediums, be it photography, sculpture or something like literature or movies. How’d that work out for you? Well, the good news is that it’s still running now and it has gotten expansions. You can almost hear the muttered, “ This time we’re going to get them.” It’s a lot like WoW, but it has story, it has lightsabers, it has a familiar faction split, and so forth. ![]() It was very clear at launch that while no one was saying it out loud, Star Wars: The Old Republic was Electronic Arts trying again to do what it had already failed at once with Warhammer Online. ![]() How’d that work out for you? Well, the game went down for maintenance and then never came back, although its owner still says it’s going to happen – perhaps even in the near future. It was kind of a low-rent knockoff from the word go, although later developments made it at least a little bit more unique and more of its own thing. Yes, someone will no doubt deny this, but it was very clear from playing it that Alganon was WoW with an added skill system stapled to the side. Never really made the splash that was expected, though, and doesn’t get any attention from Funcom now. How’d that work out for you? It got expansions! It’s in a quiet maintenance mode now, but it did earns some expansions and kind of slowly walked along to that point, so that’s something. And it very much was in that same general vein of “here’s an MMO with way more blood and guts and visual signifiers of maturity, play a real title.” In a more mature fashion than that, thankfully, but only just. Part of the same release year as the prior title, Age of Conan didn’t really try to pit itself against WoW in the same way, but comparisons were inevitable. So… not great! This one didn’t turn out super. How’d that work out for you? Well, the game shut down after completely failing to make a free-to-play pivot and never launching an expansion, although there is a good rogue server keeping it alive nowadays. This was just shy of throwing down the gauntlet directly. Between its split into two factions (as opposed to Warhammer’s usual nature of being split into about four dozen factions at a minimum), its class design, and so forth, Warhammer Online very clearly positioned itself as the death metal headbanging older cousin of WoW that even had the unmitigated cheek to come out with Wrath of the Lich King due for the same year. Some of these stories wind up sadder than others I’m just going to warn you about that right now. Whether from developer interviews, design principles, release dates, or just general vibe, today I’m looking at games that looked at the biggest guy in the metaphorical prison yard and decided to start there in their quest to become top dog. ![]() The games on this list, however… all kind of did. Now, obviously, this did not stop other MMOs from coming out and many of them from being successful, but none of the current big games that are not WoW (and several second-tier games that are still doing fine) came out trying to pick a fight directly with WoW. The fact that we currently have a Big Five in the MMO space is a big change from not so long ago, when the market was so thoroughly dominated by World of Warcraft that everyone else kind of slid into the “other” category. ![]() In actuality, both functionalities are pretty much identical. This is the main draw of the applications and is available on the free version for both. Features: CCleaner vs Glary Utilities 1-Click Cleaningīoth utilities have simple, single-click cleaning. One of the features tied to Glary Utilities Pro is the deep registry cleaner which is good for fixing stability issues (provided you know what you’re doing).ĭespite its usefulness, Glary Utilities is only available to Windows users.
