A double-amputee – he lost both legs below the knees to frostbite after a teenage mountaineering accident – he has devoted his working life to restoring mobility to the physically challenged. Hugh Herr, who has been called the "Leader of the Bionic Age" by TIME magazine.This year's honorees are living proof that-with the right support, education, and motivation-a genius can come from almost anywhere, and overcome almost anything. Over the years, the Genius Gala has raised nearly $19 million for LSC's STEM education programs, helping to make world-class science learning accessible to students, teachers, and families, including those in high-needs communities. This year is the 10th Anniversary of the Genius Gala, an annual celebration of innovation, accomplishment, creativity, science, and technology. "They are making the impossible possible they are making dreams reality they are shrinking the universe for us to understand and appreciate while also expanding the worlds of individuals, communities, and nations through their inspiring achievements."

Step 3B: Arrange Character Data to Match Date Format DIGITS is a function provided by Query/400. The value in CORDDATE for record 2 is '940615'. CORDDATE is a character field with length 6. Note: CORDDATE is a field name I made up to hold values from ORDDATE. Using Define Result Field screen, enter the following: Step 3A: Convert Numeric to Character Data Step C creates a date format field from step B.īefore illustrating steps A through C, I will describe the sample database used in the illustration. Step B arranges the data to match the format of the system date using the SUBSTR (stands for substring) function and concatenation operators (││). Step A converts numeric data to character data using the DIGITS function. The conversion is accomplished in three steps. Step 3: Convert Numeric Data to DATE Format CURRENT and DATE are functions provided by Query/400. SYSDAT has a length of 8 and format type of L (meaning date). Note: SYSDAT is a field name I made up to represent today's date. You can make today's date available to the query by creating the following result field: This means that the DATE format is MM/DD/YY. One way is to issue CHGJOB, then prompt, then press F10 for more parameters and page down one time. See the steps below for the details for each entry. This is the Define Result Fields portion of the query. N1010680, Query/400 Conversion of a MDY Field to a Date Data Type: N1010673, Query/400 Converting a YMD Field to a Date Data Type :įor an example for MMDDYY conversion to date data type: The meaning of the digits reading left to right in field ORDDATE are month (2 digits), day (2 digits) and year (2 digits).įor more examples, refer to the following Rochester Support Center knowledgebase documents:įor an example for YYMMDD conversion to date data type: This example is where the "date" field, ORDDATE, is defined as numeric 6 positions with 0 decimal field in MMDDYY format. Note: Read Chapter 5 of the Query/400 Use book for background on this process. Other illustrations can be found in the on-line manual, Query for iSeries Use, which is located at the following Knowledge Center Web site:įollowing are the general steps used to do a comparison to the System Date when the "date" field is numeric:ĭetermine DATE format for the job that will run the query.Ĭonvert numeric data to DATE format to match the DATE format of the job. Therefore, the numbers in the numeric field need to be converted to DATE format before they can be used for comparison with today's date. Query only works with data in numeric fields as numbers. However, many databases were designed to put date information in numeric fields. On the surface, this is a simple process if the fields being compared are already in DATE format. This can be accomplished using the CURRENT(DATE) function provided by Query/400. Query/400 can be used to extract data from a file based on today's date, without having to change the query every day. If I didn't want more than 8 bits, I'd be perfectly well catered for. It does lossless, but no more than 8 bits. (I'm not sure how much newer.)Įxports might be limited to 8 bits per channel and lossy compression. You need a version of macOS newer than El Capitan. Preview can export photos in HEIC format. Maybe someone else knows of one and jump in. It only tells us you are a late adopter.Īfaik, there is currently no software that allows you to save as/export to HEIC. My advice would be to wait a few more years and see how it develops, before jumping to HEIC. I'm trying to act on my own needs, not hop on board a trend. How many of them got implemented upstream by the world's biggest image-making company? How many of them additionally got integrated by Canon? You're right, nobody can predict the future, but at this point I don't care. But none of these formats survived or even came close to replacing JPG or TIF or native RAW formats. Over the years many “better” formats saw the light and caused a hype. It may conquer the world, but it also may not. Why not go for that?Ĭurrently HEIC is mainly used for mobile devices. You can convert to TIF with any flavor of choice. No I don't want 4 16-bit TIFF files per GB, thanks very much. If disk space is your argument then personally I’d say: disk space is cheap. If interoperability is your argument then you’re further off using HEIC. I just want lossless 'processed image' files larger than 8 bit that aren't massive. I’m curious what your arguments are to switch to HEIC. When you print images, the data is resampled again for one or another type of print screen, minimizing the effect.īut enlarge your image 200 percent (just double size, that is) in your favorite image editor and take a look at the sky. When you review images on your LCD, the data has been resampled to fit on your screen so much the noise disappears. It's true that you don't typically notice noise. And image noise is starting to get noticed just like shutter lag once was: as a nuisance no one talks about. This year the trend toward higher ISOs has continued. You really have to have a 3-megapixel digicam to avoid it. Some cameras do better than others, but as manufacturers cram more photo sites on tiny digicam sensors, the problem is unavoidable. Our camera reviews, which include a full range of ISO shots, pointed out that above ISO 400, these images started to fall apart. In almost all cases, noise reduction was automatically applied to these high ISO images. And, for the most part, the increase was managed by turning up the volume, increasing the signal gain. ISO equivalents jumped from 400 to as high as 3200, with many models in the 1000 to 1600 range. The push, so to speak, was to enable more options for available light photography - and reduce any reliance on the pitiful little built-in flash. Last year several camera manufacturers significantly increased the sensitivity of their sensors even in some of the more affordable digicams. The Imaging Resource Digital Photography Newsletter AND MORE Noiseware - The Cure for High ISO By MIKE PASINI To mine cryptocurrencies alone, you need to have a virtual wallet, knowledge of your probabilities, hashrate power, knowledge of the difficulty of the network and a lot of patience.Īs we said before, the higher the difficulty of the network, the more complex it is to solve the mathematical problems of cryptographic algorithms. This is why there are big mining companies such as Bitfarms, Riot Blockchain, Ricemining, etc. In our real world, could you say the same thing…? More hashrate power does not ensure you more profit, but it gives you a better chance of finding a block and winning the rewards. In this case, you could use your work GPU or the graphics card you use to play games on your computer and try to solo mine any algorithm that allows you to do so, but like your friend with 6 coins, it is statistically unlikely that you will find the block alone. Solo mining can be successful if your luck is in your favour, but you can also spend months or even years finding a block. It happens because the higher the hashrate, ( GPU or ASIC mining), the more complicated the algorithm becomes to solve the mathematical calculations to find the block and award it to the miner. The higher the difficulty of the network, the harder it becomes to find a block. To decide which cryptocurrency to mine by solo mining or by participating in a mining pool, you need to know the rewards paid by each algorithm and the difficulty of the network. Each of these algorithms works differently.īlock creation times vary from one to another, and the rewards paid to miners are also different on each blockchain. How mining algorithms workĮach blockchain has its own algorithm, for example Ethereum uses Ethash, Bitcoin uses SHA-256, Ergo is based on Autolykos and Zcash on Equihash. It is important to note, however, that we cannot base an economic investment in mining on luck, we must rely on real data, statistics, and probabilities decide to whether to mine alone or in a mining pool. Since the algorithms of different cryptocurrencies are designed differently, it is inevitable that there will be some luck involved in cryptocurrency. Taking into account the luck factor, if you were to flip your coin against your friend’s 6 coins, it is true that you could beat him 6 times, do you agree? It is also true that you could beat him 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times despite having only one coin in your pocket. The odds would be 6 to 1.įortunately, our world is not so strict and luck exists, even if many people are reluctant to believe in it… For the simple fact that he has 5 more coins than you, while for each flip of the coin, you could only get one chance of winning, your friend on each flip of his 6 coins could beat you about 6 times. In an ideal world where everything is perfect and mathematics rules mankind, your friend would be more likely to win every time. It stands to reason that your friend probably has a better chance of getting tails as he has 6 coins, while you only have 1 coin. The trick is to flip the coins and get tails, whoever gets tails first wins. Imagine you have a single coin with 2 sides, tails and heads. The first thing you should know is that cryptocurrency mining is like going to the casino, a game of chance, competition and of course, mathematics. 5.1 Mining without GPUs: Is it possible?.3.1 Earning faster in mining: is it possible?.2.1 How much hashrate do I need for Solo Mining?.While we expect a full range in size of Zcash miners to exist, the more individuals who run a miner (whether GPU or CPU) the stronger the network. Incentivizing the creation of open source miners will enable a wider community to mine for Zcash coins and take ownership of the network as a public good. The Winners and Runners Up of this challenge are listed on the submissions page. The Zcash Company sponsored the Zcash Open Source Miner Challenge operated by Least Authority. To achieve this, we need open source miners for anyone to use. By distributing the ability to perform mining with open source software, the Zcash network can be a more accessible and a truly community-supported cryptocurrency. Mining should be available to everyone, regardless of their access to specialized hardware anyone should be able to use a computer to “mine” by using open source software, and add more transactions to the Zcash ledger to possibly get Zcash coins in return for their effort. Since Zcash is an open source, decentralized cryptocurrency, we believe that mining for ZEC is an important way to help strengthen and decentralize the Zcash community, contribute to computer science, and win our gratitude and a prize. On October 28, 2016, the launch of Zcash made ZEC coins available for mining. Zcash Open Source Miner Challenge Winners have been announced! She subsequently goes to the police, who are unbothered by her account of what happened. She chatters away, extricates herself, tells the man her boss will be looking for her. “‘A swim,’ I say, ‘that sounds nice.’” He answers by putting his binocular strap around her neck. She has “an instinct for the onset of violence”. Taking a break from work, she goes for a walk where she encounters a man on a mountainside who appears to be waiting for her. She describes how she gets beneath the skin of the people she tidies for (good apprenticeship for a novelist), learning that they are not always what they might seem from the traces left in bedrooms: fertility lists, jazzy paisley underwear, a silver whip for sexual adventures of an equestrian bent. Her first chapter is the most shocking – she is working at a “holistic alternative retreat” at the base of a mountain. But then she was – terrifyingly – unable to situate herself within the water, did not know how to surface because of childhood encephalitis: “I have impairment to a number of neurological functions, one of which is the ability to sense where things are or should be and my place among them.” For all her polish, she is at times uncertain how to orient herself in confessional prose too – another question of judging distance. She was bored, she wanted to escape, to prove something to herself. In flight from disappointment, she blindly catches a plane to Hong Kong that almost crashesĪged 16, she jumped off a harbour wall, a 15-metre drop – it was a dare – into black water, in a turning tide. She keeps life as well as death slightly – for this is subtle – at bay. It has the sheen of fiction.Īt times, she chooses the third person (especially when the subject matter includes ex-lovers), which deepens an existing sense that she is not quite owning her experience. Her memoir is fluent, poised, packed with colourful details. But O’Farrell is practised at taking charge. When life is the author, there is no telling what the narrative will include: it can be raggedly out of control. One of the most striking and unsettling things about it is that she writes almost as though she were a fictional character herself. O’Farrell has written seven accomplished novels, and this is her first work of nonfiction. The book is uncomfortable and compelling – a page-turner. O’Farrell is expert at proceeding obliviously, at ducking the scythe, and it is only towards the end of the book that she admits to having had, throughout her life, a cavalier attitude towards risk. In his opening statement, prosecutor Thomas Binger described the unrest in Kenosha as “two of the roughest nights that our community has ever seen” and said outsiders were drawn to the city “like moths to a flame.” He was pale, shaking a lot.” Black said Rittenhouse told him that he acted in self-defense because “people were trying to hurt him.” He said he heard gunshots but didn’t know Rittenhouse was involved until the teenager called and said, “I shot somebody, I shot somebody.”Īfterward, Black said, Rittenhouse was “freaking out. He also said Rittenhouse helped give medical aid and put out fires.īlack said he was on the roof as protesters hurled gasoline bombs and rocks at the business. Black said he thought nobody would start trouble if they saw him with his assault-style rifle. Black faces charges he bought the rifle for Rittenhouse months before the shootings because the teen was not old enough to own one at the time.īlack testified that he and Rittenhouse went to downtown Kenosha to help protect a car dealership after vehicles were burned the night before. The first witness was Dominick Black, who was dating Rittenhouse’s sister at the time. Rittenhouse said he went there to protect property after two nights in which rioters set fires and ransacked businesses. The teenager traveled to Kenosha from his home in Illinois, just across the Wisconsin state line, after protests broke out over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police officer. The one-time aspiring police officer could get life in prison if convicted. Rittenhouse, now 18, is charged with killing two men and wounding a third during the summer of 2020 with an assault-style rifle. At the time of the shooting, Blake’s three young sons, ages 3, 5, and 8 were sitting in a car at the scene.“You as jurors will end up looking at it from the standpoint of a 17-year-old under the circumstances as they existed,” defense attorney Mark Richards said. The business aims to raise USD 500,000 in total.īlake’s shooting comes just three months after the death of African-American George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer that had triggered massive protests, looting and rioting across the US, with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets across the country protesting against repeated police brutality and systemic racism.īlake, who was shot seven times in the back, was stepping away from officers who had their guns drawn. Dispatchers told her it was not safe for firefighters to respond to the scene, she said.Ĭar Source has organised a GoFundMe camping to raise funds to help it recover some losses. Rodriguez said she then dialled 9-1-1 again, but help did not come. And you hear, boom, boom, boom’ explosion, after explosion, after explosion. Rodriguez said it was a terrifying time as she saw an explosion and the fire spreading quickly from one vehicle to the next. The business was allegedly attacked twice and the total loss is estimated at USD 2.5 million.Ĭharred scraps and shattered glass littered the area, where other downtown buildings had been badly damaged nights before.

I want to suggest something that to me is a wish, hoping that L6 team look into the feasibility of developing certain functions. Logos 6 is great, many good and interesting reviews can be found. I left a note on the freemind forums asking how to make refTagger work in freemind - that would be very useful, as others have pointed out. Hopefully they will become more friendly with each other as time goes by. I think I'm going to enjoy using freemind along with Logos. (see 2nd image below)Īnyway, I'm glad I ran onto this thread. That worked well, too, although I had to use another program like KeyNote or msWord to get better line spacing. Then I copied the note I made in freemind and pasted it into a Logos note. (see image below - I hope it shows up OK. I assume passage lists and other resources would be linkable too. And I was able to make links back to Logos - to verses, Bible word study tool, searches, and notes. I enjoyed the ability to quickly move nodes around and make visual connections. I started copying the notetaking in the video, using both Logos notes but also in freemind - which I decided to try motivated by this thread. I'm in the middle of the Hebrew video on word study, chasing down "council of the Lord" in Jeremiah 23:18 where "sod" is the word behind "council". I have been working through the Learn Hebrew & Greek lessons. The text in green highlight shows how to get a student into Level 2 or even Level 3 thinking.DAB The pinkish text shows how John the Baptist and Jesus are similar, and the the text attached to each individual shows differences. Personally I have been using these thinking maps in my own personal biblical studies. The following is an example of a Comparison and Contrast (one of the 8 basic cognitive processes) Thinking Map. It is important to be able to teach all types of students from advanced to novice about the Bible. classes, and they have been extremely helpful in getting the students to process information in these very "content-oriented" subject areas. I have been using these thinking maps in my World History and Amer. They use a simpler process that involve 8 basic cognitive processes tied to only 8 different graphic organizers that help students learn. I have been trained by a company called "Thinking Maps" that is fairly small. Some of the "mind maps" in this thread are pretty complicated. Here is my take on this topic as a High School teacher. I agree, even if we could just download a graphic into Notes (like a JPEG file). This is the 1st time I have viewed this thread. |
