And this won't even fix the problem of the black screen since it touches all unofficial pictures, it's just to avoid selecting them instead of regular roads covered by Google. You understand they can't just do that without taking time to see how to do it correctly without breaking everything. Some of us are trying to find solutions with the developers by checking what the Google API can do, we found some interesting ideas but this require a big change into how maps and locations are saved, which may break all existing maps. And every month it's becoming worse as those people all around the world progressively cover the roads with their trash, making the game lose its playground without any way to fight back as Google doesn't listen its customers. Those are literally unplayable on GeoGuessr for those reasons + the black screen issue since they are unofficial pictures and are subject to the same problem. Lately Google allowed random people to also create their own Street View, often replacing official pictures by their own which are bad quality and almost impossible to navigate. ![]() Official maps can have some of them as well (especially famous places map since not all those places are captured by Google). If you want to avoid black screens you need to find maps that try to avoid those pictures. Many user-made maps uses those unofficial panoramas, especially for locations such as stadium, museums, indoor places or random "hard maps". This is pure speculation, I couldn't find an official explanation. This is almost exclusively related to unofficial panoramas not made by Google but by regular users so it is probably Google throttling them to prioritize official panorama on bandwidth usage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's just that Google, for some unknown reason, won't let it load on an external website like GeoGuessr all the time. But the issue is that black screens are not broken locations, they actually exist on Google Maps. ![]() They already have a way to detect broken locations (locations removed on Google Maps). If you need more detailed information, let me know. I might also see "This location is no longer available in Google Streetview." but I'm not sure if and how that is related. That's also not nice, but certainly less frustrating than a black screen. Although, what might be possible, if the rate limit can't be increased, is to at least display a message to the user that they have to come back in X minutes. So probably Geoguessr isn't even the one to blame here alone. In the response it says "Rate limit exceeded". Though, the problem persists, so I guess that the black screen issue is not CORS related.Ī lot more likely to be the problem is that in the Firefox Network Analysis I see that as soon as the black images occur, I'm getting 403 Forbidden responses for the images that are being loaded, see screenshot. So for testing purposes, I installed this addon for firefox ( ) and the CORS errors are gone. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing)." In the developer console I saw this message: Cross-Origin Request Blocked: "The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at. Locations I saw before are usually not black, but might be a bit blurry (I guess I'm seeing the cached image there only). From that point on, all locations I visit for the first time (are not cached) are black. After looking at locations in a fast paced manner, i start to get only black screens. I noticed the following things: it works flawless the first few minutes. ![]() But that may take time to come (if they even decide to do this) as Geoguessr is just a hobby for the devs, they have an actual work to live on top of this.Īlso getting this issue now when creating my first own map. I can understand subscription is not something that fits everyone's needs, especially for players that just want to play a few games every month, in this case the devs have to offer another approach like "buy X games for Y dollars as a one time payment". That's why the free trial map doesn't use anything from Google. In Geoguessr's case, the money is for Google as Geoguessr must pay Google expensive fees to use Google's data. People think they can get free things but it's almost never true. To find leagues, you have to know someone that make some or find on internet community or people sharing leagues.īut you have to realize that free things are not a real thing, you always pay when browsing internet (ads, data collection etc). To find challenges, either you find a pro user that can make some or you just look at the activities on each map page where you will usually find challenge links (some have timer, some don't, no way to know before starting it). you can join leagues to get regular free games you can find challenge links and play them for free you have one free game per day on any map you want

![]() Will Venable had seen enough at that point, calling on Ryan Brasier. He had absolutely no control in this game, hitting the first batter he saw, then issuing a four-pitch walk, and hitting another batter with one out to load the bases. That brought Phillips Valdez, not Tanner Houck as had been expected, in for the fifth trying to protect the 2-0 lead. He only struck out one in the game while giving up four hits along with walking three, but he successfully walked the tightrope, and we’ll take that from him.Īfter that first inning, the Red Sox offense largely went into hibernation mode, going down in order in each of the second, third, and fourth innings before wasting a one-out double in the fifth. He’d then get some help in the second when Rob Refsnyder, in right field for this game, made a quick, strong, and accurate throw from the corner to cut down Randy Arozarena trying to stretch a single into a double.Ĭontrol issues plagued him a bit for his final two innings, hitting a batter and walking another in the third and then walking the leadoff man in the fourth, but he got through his four innings of work without allowing any runs to the Rays. From there he was able to get a pop up from Manny Margot, and the lead stood despite the issues. ![]() Case in point, in the first inning Hill got two quick outs but then gave up a double, issued a walk, and gave up a single to load the bases. It was kind of a weird day for the veteran lefty, who never really looked great but was able to wriggle himself out of jams time and time again. Now, they just had to turn to Rich Hill, who was reinstated off the bereavement list prior to Sunday’s game, to hold the lead. Take a look at the entire shirt collection from our friends over at BreakingT, including the one pictured above. Neither Bobby Dalbec nor Christian Arroyo could add any more, but after Saturday night a 2-0 lead was nothing to sneeze at. ![]() A couple batters later, Xander Bogaerts added a single of his own before Alex Verdugo made it four hits in the inning with Boston’s third single, bringing in Hernández and giving his team a 2-0 lead. Enrique Hernández then swung at his first pitch, smoking one right up through the middle to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead just two pitches into the game. Trevor Story jumped on the first pitch he saw, smacking a leadoff double. The Red Sox took advantage of that and immediately showed a different level compared to yesterday, jumping right on McClanahan in the first. However, the one thing that McClanahan does do sometimes is leave too many pitches over the plate, especially early in counts. The young Rays southpaw has some of the nastiest pure stuff you’ll see from any AL East starter, and with the way Boston’s lineup has been performing it wasn’t too difficult to see this being a long day for them. It’s hard to imagine the Red Sox offense was feeling all that great heading into Sunday’s series finale in Tampa Bay, not only coming off a game in which they were no-hit through nine innings before losing in heart-breaking fashion in the 10th, but also because they were facing Shane McClanahan. It’s another series loss for the Red Sox. Rich Hill did manage to walk a tightrope for four innings to keep his team ahead, but Will Venable for some reason abandoned the plan to piggyback with Tanner Houck, the other relievers coughed up the lead, and that was that. But they totally fell asleep after that, pretty much not even threatening a rally the rest of the way. In fact, Boston’s offense looked great against Rays start Shane McClanahan for the entire first inning, taking a 2-0 lead. The good news is the Red Sox immediately made sure they were not going to be no-hit through nine innings on Sunday, with Trevor Story jumping on the first pitch for a double. ![]() Without your memory and hopelessly outnumbered you go on a crusade, fighting your way through your tormentors in order to take revenge.

Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Studies have shown that 1-3 mg is (surprisingly) more effective than higher doses.ĭr. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for everyone, but if it is working for you, it seems to be pretty safe. However, some other sleep aids can increase risk for falls or motor vehicle accidents. At the low dose you are taking, it is unlikely to have significant adverse effects. Is there any reason to be concerned about the frequent use of melatonin? - C.S.ĪNSWER: Melatonin is a commonly used sleep aid that is generally considered safe. If I chew a 1.5 mg gummy of melatonin, I sleep soundly and go back to sleep quickly if I do wake up. ![]() Sometimes I am awake for up to two hours. At night I fall asleep quickly, but wake up several times during the night. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old male in good health. I also am concerned about the effect of vinegar on the teeth.Īdding fruit juice to the vinegar doesn’t seem to be necessary (fruit juice wasn’t used in the study) and it adds sugar, which is generally not a good idea in people with diabetes.ĭEAR DR. The magnitude of the effect is small - usually not enough to be an effective treatment by itself. In the case of apple cider vinegar, there is a small study showing that 20 grams of apple cider vinegar (about 4 teaspoons) did lower blood sugar when volunteers with diabetes were given a meal of a bagel with butter and orange juice. Can you tell me if this is a real thing or a temporary situation until I see my doctor next week? Does something like this really work? Or was my sugar just going down naturally? - R.C.ĪNSWER: Some old folk remedies do work, and it has taken years for scientists to try to find out which ones are really useful and, if so, why. My blood sugar dropped seven points since I started taking it two days ago. I made a batch but halved it because it seemed like a lot to start. You mix apple cider vinegar with apple and grape juices, and drink 2 ounces in the morning and 2 ounces in the evening. I want to know if it is for real or an old folk remedy that was passed through the generations. He said his mother used it, and it helped her. ROACH: Several years ago, a friend gave me a recipe to lower blood sugar. You need not be worried, because a pinguecula doesn’t affect vision and usually doesn’t need treatment beyond lubricating eyedrops.ĭEAR DR. We think they are caused by years of irritation from dust, wind and sun exposure. ![]() A pinguecula never goes over onto the cornea, which distinguishes it from another common eye lesion, a pterygium. It’s located in the conjunctiva of the eye, at the limbus - the point where the sclera (the white of the eye) meets the cornea (the clear part that is on top of the iris and lens). V.P.ĪNSWER: A pinguecula is a benign lesion made of fat and protein. The eye doctor is going to reevaluate in three months. What does this mean? I was given artificial tears and am to follow up regularly. ROACH: I am under the care of an ophthalmologist, and on a routine exam I was told that I have pinguecula of the eyes. ![]() Secure the paper properly to the board so that it doesn’t fall off.The farther it is, the larger the projection. Remember that you want an enlarged image so your projector is going to be some distance away from the desired background.You can also use the projector at night instead. If it is a small room with multiple light sources, turn off as many as possible, and block out any residual light with heavy clothes. Step 5: Adjust the stand, going backward or forward until the projection fits within the area of the board or background. This is so that the image is projected at the desired height, and fits onto the background. Step 4: Turn on your projector and adjust the projector stand.

Steps in Tracing a Picture Perfectly from a Projection The Set-upĪt this stage, you will be concerned with getting the desired image and setting up your projector properly. My outline is misaligned I have both overlapping and disconnected lines. Steps in Tracing a Picture Perfectly from a Projection.Tracing a projected image is not always a piece of cake, but it can be done! I’ll explain the process including the setup the tracing and finishing. While overhead projectors are very handy for enlarging and tracing out images, what people often fail to mention to first-timers and amateurs is how easy it is to make mistakes if one does not follow specific guidelines.ĭifferent problems can come up, such as controlling the lighting, tracing without smudging, avoiding crooked outlines due to cast shadows, etc. The larger projections are traced out onto the background. Depending on the size desired, this task may be relatively easy or extremely challenging.įor decades, projectors have been used to enlarge images and provide art enthusiasts with a larger copy of pictures for creating wall art, murals, and even portraits. Many times, artists attempt to recreate small images in larger and bolder scales. Although they can be handy little mechanisms, they demand a lot of your time and energy. Grid lines are used to maintain the proportion of an image when recreating it on a larger scale. As an artist, you may have often grumbled at the fact that you need grid lines to recreate an image in an enlarged version. ![]() You’ll be able to jump right in with its easy-to-use interface and avoid spending hours learning to edit videos like some other less intuitive video editing software for Mac.

![]() ![]() ![]() The collagen fraction, with the mineral portion (bioapatite) removed, is the preferred material for radiocarbon dating bone samples when preservation permits. ![]() The sample is rinsed in deionized water and dried at 105✬.Ĭollagen is a fibrous structural protein in the extracellular space in bone and tissues. The sample is placed in 1N HCl and heated to 80✬ for 1 hour, centrifuged, and decanted. Soils and sediments are treated with hot acid to remove carbonates and acid-soluble compounds. The sample is then treated with dilute HCl, washed with deionized water and dried at 105✬. The sample is then washed with 0.1 M NaOH to remove possible contamination by humic acids. The sample is placed 1N HCl and heated to 80✬ for 1 hour, centrifuged and decanted. For small or poorly preserved samples, the alkali treatment may be shortened or omitted completely, or humic acids may precipitated out of alkali solution for radiocarbon dating. This involves three steps: (1) an acid treatment to remove secondary carbonates and acid-soluble compounds (2) an alkali treatment to separate out humic acids and (3) a second acid treatment to remove atmospheric CO 2. The AAA method is used to pretreat a wide variety of sample types including plant material, charcoal, wood, soils, sediment, peat, and plant-based textiles. However, the implementation of these techniques may vary depending on the size and condition of the sample. Certain chemical pretreatment techniques are considered routine for specific sample types or contaminants, and are described below. The goal of chemical pretreatment is to remove contaminants that are chemically soluble. In some cases, samples are sieved to select an appropriate size fraction, or gently crushed to reduce the size of the particles. Depending on the sample type, surface dirt may be removed by washing in an ultrasonic bath or by physically removing the outermost layer of the sample using a rotary tool or scalpel. Some common contaminants include intrusive rootlets, which are manually separated from the sample using forceps, and surface dirt. This may involve cleaning to remove obvious contaminants and/or reduction of particle size of the sample.Ĭleaning involves the physical, rather than chemical, removal of obviously intrusive materials. In many cases further physical pretreatment is required. Communication between the radiocarbon researcher and the sample collector is integral to this process.Īll samples are physically examined to evaluate the composition and preservation of the sample, and to determine the appropriate pretreatment plan. Selecting the appropriate pretreatment plan depends on the unique attributes of the sample itself, such as the sample type, potential contaminants, the burial context, and the size and preservation of the sample. The goal of sample pretreatment is to isolate the carbon fraction required for radiocarbon dating and to remove carbon fractions that are altered or contaminated. Contaminants are carbon-containing materials that are not indigenous to the original organic material being dated. In either case, it is more appropriate to report the time since the plant has died as approximately 19,000 years since these measurements are never completely precise.In general, it should be assumed that all samples are affected by some form of alteration or contamination. 5730c = \ln$ then an approximate value of 19,030 years is found instead. Dividing by 10 first (to isolate the exponential expression) and taking the logarithm of both sides gives To solve for $c$, notice that $c$ is in the exponent and so we need to Since the half life of Carbon 14 is 5730 years, this means that afterĥ730 years there will only be 5 micrograms of Carbon 14 left in the preserved plant:. ![]() I reinstalled the firmware of Nokia, no go.

![]() Snow Crash depicts a metaverse in which humans interact with each other as avatars in a three-dimensional virtual space that uses the metaphor of the real world. Stephenson described it as a virtual reality-based successor to the internet. Originally, the term metaverse was coined in a 1992 science fiction novel titled “Snow Crash” by Neal Stephenson. Metaverses function as a virtual society where people are able to play multiplayer online role-playing games massively. The only escape - in the novel - is a metaverse called the OASIS, which can be accessed with a VR headset and wired gloves. “Ready Player One” depicts the world in 2045 This results in social problems and economic stagnation. Yet, the most interesting thing is that what was once fiction could turn into a reality.Ī novel by Ernest Cline titled “Ready Player One” depicts the world in 2045 in which it is being gripped by global warming and an energy crisis. One’s imagination about the future is intriguing for us. Perhaps the best example of the system in action is the scene in the third act where more than half a million Gunter characters attack the castle in the end battle.Reading dystopian science fiction is a typical fascination. The system not only designed and created characters of all types – based on predetermined design specifications and artistic choices – but it also created behaviors appropriate to the sequence including fighting and interaction in the battles and using all sorts of weapons depending on the unique characteristics of the character. The system was both highly directable when necessary but also leveraged a layer of artificial intelligence making it indispensable. To achieve this a new crowd system called ARCADE was developed. Aside from the huge range of 1980s characters, gaming characters, cartoon characters, and heroes we knew we had to build, the team also needed thousands upon thousands of other background characters. Perhaps the single most daunting challenge was how to populate the OASIS. Under the watchful eye of Production Designer, Adam Stockhausen and ILM Visual Effects Art Director Alex Jaeger, those characters and the likes of the sixers, King Kong, Chucky, and many others were all visualized and brought to life. ![]() The challenge began with the vibrant multi-dimensional world that would carry much of the story environments that make up the OASIS but equally challenging was designing and creating performances for the film’s five lead characters, the ‘High Five’ as they are known and the primary antagonists Nolan Sorrento and “I-r0K”. The visual effects work would receive nominations for Best Visual Effects from both The Academy and BAFTA, in addition to four Visual Effects Society Award nominations and two wins. ![]() Production Visual Effects Supervisor Roger Guyett, Animation Supervisor David Shirk, and the ILM visual effects teams in San Francisco, Singapore, Vancouver, and London consisting of some 2,000 artists ultimately created over 90 minutes of almost entirely digital VFX work to bring the immersive world of the OASIS to the screen. Ready Player One is set i n 2045, the planet is on the brink of chaos and collapse, but people find salvation in the OASIS: an expansive virtual reality universe that filmmaker Steven Spielberg challenged ILM to bring to life.
