The audiobooks are a new thing for Kobo and the new devices have Bluetooth connections to make it possible - no speakers. All of this to say it’s fine but don’t expect iPad-like fluidity out of these or any e-reader. ![]() But when loading a whole new part of the book I found the old Forma is actually faster. Once in a book, page turns took about the same amount of time as older devices, which is to say nearly no time at all even when skipping a few at a time. ![]() Operation is much the same as previous devices, though the upgraded internals mean these are a bit quicker to wake, navigate and reorientate when you flip them. Both look excellent, to be clear, but the new screen is an improvement. Comparing the older Forma to the Sage (as they have very similar builds) I was surprised to find that the new screen really does make a difference the contrast is noticeably improved and the Forma’s letters seemed slightly grey next to the much darker Sage’s. Both readers have 300 ppi, which is more than enough to make the text look sharp. The most visible new feature is the screen, which is the latest Carta 1200 E Ink display. At $260 and $180 the Sage and Libra 2 aren’t cheap, though I think at least the latter is worth considering if you use an e-reader regularly and like audiobooks and Pocket. The main differences between the two new readers is size most of the other features are the same. The devices are successors to the Forma and Libra H2O, the forma of which (forgive me) has been my daily driver since I cracked the screen of my beloved Boox Poke 3. ![]() But the new capabilities may be worth the upgrade, and the Libra 2 especially makes for an attractive little package. The latest pair of e-readers from Kobo provide a modest but noticeable upgrade to the display, stylus support and Bluetooth for listening to audiobooks but take a step down in build quality from the admirable Forma.

All of our costumes are licensed from the movie and fully made by us, so we stand by their quality 100%. We also carry toy weapons based on the ones used by the main characters, like the Hattori Hanzo sword and the meteor hammer. Or, if you're feeling like mixing a bit of cute into your dangerous essence, our Gogo Yubari costume turns you into the deadly chain-mace wielding assassin from the Yakuza. We also carry costumes so women can transform into the devious deadly villain, Elle Driver. These Kill Bill costumes include everything from Uma Thurman's signature yellow jumpsuit to her biker jacket that she wore while tracking down O-Ren Ishii. We spared no detail in creating some of the best costumes based on Kill Bill characters! The scene where the Bride (Beatrix Kiddo) crosses katanas with each member of the Crazy 88 in a row? Mind-blowing! Or how about that fight between Beatrix and Gogo Yubari? Craziness! And the costumes? Get outta here! Of course, we decided to put our love of the movie to good use, by making a whole line of super awesome costumes based on the classic action movie. We don't really condone violence unless it's in the kind of high-octane sword-fighting action scenes that Quentin Tarantino features in his movies.

With the first half of the season-ending on quite the cliffhanger as Eren Jaeger stared down the forces of Marley, expect some major casualties on both sides before the anime adaptation comes to a close. This crossover comes at a good time for the dark franchise created by Hajime Isayama, with next year seeing the return of Attack On Titan's anime for the second half of its fourth and final season. Now, however, the animals of the adorable line are crossing over with the dark figures from Attack On Titan for new merchandise, and the crossover has shared a number of new images that see the soldiers of the Scout Regiment joining forces with the biggest characters from Sanrio.

The primary limitations are that exports are capped at UltraHD (3840×2160), and that features such as stereo3D, lens distortion correction, noise reduction, and collaboration require Resolve Studio. Resolve offers the majority of the same features as Resolve Studio. These versions are basically the same as those on Blackmagic Design’s website, but with some differences, due to the requirement that App Store software be sandboxed. Mac users also have the option to download Resolve (free) or purchase Resolve Studio through the Apple Mac App Store. It’s the only NLE to support three operating systems: macOS, Windows, and Linux. (*This review was originally written right after the release of Resolve 14 in late 2017.)ĭaVinci Resolve 14 comes in two flavors, DaVinci Resolve 14 (free) and DaVinci Resolve Studio ($299). Right at the start, let me paraphrase the judges on History Channel’s Forged in Fire series – ‘This NLE can cut!’ If you have no prior allegiances to other editing platforms, then using Resolve as your NLE of choice is a no-brainer. I’ve reviewed Resolve in the past as a grading application, but my focus here is editing. Advanced editing functions and the inclusion of the Fairlight audio engine put Resolve on track to be the industry’s latest all-in-one post-production powerhouse. ![]() With the introduction of Resolve 14*, it’s clear that Blackmagic Design has set its sights higher. DaVinci Resolve has made its mark as one of the premier color correction applications for the film and video industries. ![]() 11:30 AM (11:30) Previous Day Pacific Daylight.

It takes 21 days on average for an egg to hatch once incubation begins. However, they must be stored with the fat side of the egg pointed up to keep the embryo alive. Kept at temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees and 75 percent humidity, the development of the eggs can be delayed for up to ten days without sacrificing the viability of the embryos. Ideally, the eggs are transferred directly to the incubator, but it’s possible to store them in egg cartons if needed. Wash your hands before handling and be as gentle as possible, as the embryos are extremely susceptible to damage from sudden movements. Above all, do not clean the eggs – there is a naturally occurring coating that is vital to the success of the embryo. When picking eggs to incubate, use those that are clean, well-formed and full-size. Hatching rates on eggs straight from the coop are often in the 75 to 90 percent range with mail-order eggs, there is no guarantee that any will hatch. The jostling about and fluctuations in temperature and humidity that occur during transport are hard on the developing fetus. ![]() The closer to home, the better the egg source. Some feed stores sell fertile eggs in the spring and there are many suppliers that sell eggs online. Websites like Craigslist and are a good way to link with people that may have eggs to spare. If you don’t already have chickens, find a friend or a nearby farmer who does and ask if you can buy some fertile eggs. ![]() Collect them as soon as possible after laying and transfer to the incubator. If you already have a flock of chickens that includes a rooster, the majority of the eggs they lay will be fertile. The incubator should be placed in a location with the least possible fluctuation in temperature and humidity throughout the day – a basement is ideal, a sunny window is not. Or, you can rotate manually according to the instructions below. High-end incubators have a built-in egg turning device, but there are also standalone egg turners that can be placed inside a homemade incubator to do the job. The finely tuned ecosystem inside a chicken egg is kept in balance by constantly changing the position of the egg. Much of the fussing that a hen does over her eggs comes from an evolutionary instinct to constantly move them about. One time-saving feature is a device to rotate the eggs automatically. These have a sensor that goes inside the incubator with an LED screen on the outside that shows the temperature and humidity readings without having to open the incubator and ruin your carefully calibrated environment. If you’re not working with an incubator that has these instruments built in, opt for a combo thermometer/hygrometer with an external display. Low-end commercial incubators don’t amount to much more than this, but the more you pay, the more automated the temperature and humidity controls will be.Ī high-quality thermometer and hygrometer (a device to measure humidity) are the most important tools of incubation cheap models are usually not accurate enough. An adjustable heating pad or a light bulb on a dimmer switch will suffice for the heat source and a pan of water with a sponge in it will make the air humid. Homemade versions usually involve some sort of insulated box – a cheap Styrofoam cooler will do. Ventilation: Egg shells are porous, allowing oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to exit incubators need to have holes or vents that allow fresh air to circulate so the fetuses can breathe. Humidity: 40 to 50 percent humidity must be maintained for the first 18 days 65 to 75 percent humidity is needed for the final days before hatching. Temperature: The eggs need to be kept at 99.5 degrees at all times just one degree higher or lower for a few hours can terminate the embryo. No matter how fancy or jerry-rigged, all incubators must accomplish a few basic things: ![]() You can also go the DIY route, which saves money, but is almost as much work as sitting on the eggs yourself. With top-of-the-line incubators, you put in an egg, close the door and out pops the chick three weeks later. As Chaga Keeps Trending, Mycologists Worry About Running Outĭepending on how many eggs they accommodate and how automated they are, Incubators run from around $50 for the homesteader favorite ‘Hova-Bator’ into the thousands of dollars for commercial scale incubators. ![]() This initial model can also be fine-tuned on additional text or conditions, but does not necessarily need to be. DeepMind used their 280 billion parameter model Gopher. Anthropic used transformer models from 10 million to 52 billion parameters trained for this task. OpenAI used a smaller version of GPT-3 for its first popular RLHF model, InstructGPT.

![]() But only specialists debate his translators, and there are no books delving into the originals of his characters, or providing recipes for Chekhovian blini, or explaining how Chekhov can change your life, or presenting photographs of his intimates. Chekhov, born a decade earlier, is a writer of similar stature, and his plays are genuinely popular. And now, in English, arrives a fearsomely slender book, “ The Mysterious Correspondent,” nine stories, mostly fragmentary, mostly unpublished, that have only recently been rediscovered, appearing as something between juvenilia and a sketchbook.Īll this work attests to the reputation of the most often attempted, most rarely summited, of all mountainous modern books, Proust’s multivolume “À la Recherche du Temps Perdu,” which, first Englished as “Remembrance of Things Past,” is now routinely more severely Frenchified as “In Search of Lost Time.” (That there are passionate debates about the varying merits of his translators and of these titles is part of the general Proustian effect.) Why some writers get this kind of attention-rooted in encompassing appetite rather than in mere admiration-and some do not is hard to know and interesting to contemplate. Just last month, Gallimard, in Paris, published “Les Soixante-quinze Feuillets,” an early, more directly autobiographical overture, long thought to have vanished, of themes that he would later develop in depth. (The room’s original interior can be found at the Musée Carnavalet, the museum of the history of Paris.) “Lost” works appear. ![]() ![]() In one, we are given a detailed diagram of the apartment with the cork-lined room where Proust spent his reclusive late years. The books are often illustrated with the intensity of religious tracts. That’s doubtless not even half the harvest. In the past fifteen years or so, certainly since the dawn of the new century, the huge success of Alain de Botton’s “ How Proust Can Change Your Life” has been followed by a candid book on Proust’s sex life (by his American biographer, William C. Carter) the memoirs of his Swedish valet (also edited by Carter) a study, by the Auden biographer Richard Davenport-Hines, of Proust’s final days, at the Ritz and the Majestic Benjamin Taylor’s study of Proust’s life as a distinctly Jewish one the first fully annotated versions of “Swann’s Way” (both by Carter and by Lydia Davis) Clive James’s long verse commentary “ Gate of Lilacs” and a graphic-novel version of “Swann’s Way,” not to mention an album by the talented Russian-French sisters called the Milstein Duo, “The Vinteuil Sonata,” devoted to the real-life candidates for the musical phrase that entangled Swann’s heart and doomed his life. Not long ago, we were given a book made up solely of his desperately polite, querulous letters to his upstairs neighbors in one of his last apartment buildings, on the Boulevard Haussmann, complaining about the noise-and sounding exactly like a classic S. J. Perelman casual. Anything Proustian, it seems, gets published now. What comes after is mostly academic commentary.īut with the biography, the letters, and the journals long in the rearview mirror, the popular secondary works on Proust continue to appear in manic numbers. The usual run of a famous author’s remains is more or less set: first the (disillusioning) biography, then the (surprisingly mundane, money-mad) letters, and finally the (painfully naked) diaries, in which erotic obsessions that seem curious and fresh in literary prose look mechanically obsessive in daily record, as with Kenneth Tynan and John Cheever. And so, having reached the very bottom of the barrel marked “Marcel Proust,” the scraping continues, even unto the splintered wood. When one finds the bottom of a barrel being energetically scraped, it is proof, at least, that whatever was once floating on the top must have been very delicious indeed. If you're not familiar with the Terminal, and running commands, and compiling apps from source, the above instructions might put you off, but it's not really a big deal - just follow the instructions. In the support pages of his site, Matthew Gallagher (the author of the apps StreamToMe and ServeToMe) mentions a Linux version of ServeToMe, created by a 3rd party, and as such offers no support.Ī Google search brouch me to this Google Code project, with the wiki page linked here: I may get downvotes for this, but unless you are looking at a 37" screen or larger, and from 6-10' from the screen, all the resolution higher than 720p seems like a total waste of bandwidth to me (for playback at least - video CAPTURE/recording is a whole OTHER story). Keeping the resolution low, saves on bandwidth and network congestion and looks fine to my eyes. Maybe it's just me, but I see no difference in 1080p, 720p video when transcoded down to 480p, even on the Retina Display iPad3. So the StreamToMe/ServeToMe is a perfect combo of client and server apps, that happily traverse NAT via UPnP, as well as handle the necessary transcoding etc, and of course I want to move this function OFF my main desktop and the R/Pi is a perfect choice of hardware to do this, provided it is up to snuff for transcoding the h.264 video stream to AT LEAST 480p. You will need either a static IP address, a DynamicDNS service, or another way of getting around a changing home WAN IP address (I wrote a script for this purpose-pm me if you want to know more about that). ServeToMe is also accessible from outside your home LAN via the UPnP functions of your router, which I have also tested with my iPad running StreamToMe and can access all my media from home, WITHOUT having to live within the constraints of cloud music storage services. I have an original iPhone 2G 8GB which I use around the house to stream music via StreamToMe (yes it runs on iOS 3.1.3) pulling music from my Mac Mini running 10.6.8/iTunes 11/ServeToMe, and it works wonderfully.
