12/19/2023 0 Comments Targets by 24bit qobuz streaming s2![]() I am not sure if using the ASIO output will be stable though, given the conflict that happens when I open the Qobuz even when JRiver is closed. Tried playing a YouTube video and it did not interrupt the Qobuz stream. But tell me, is ASIO exclusive? I want to be sure that the stream is not getting passed thru Windows. Once it stabilizes I am able to play 192kHz files thru the Rega. What happens is JRiver will launch and then Qobuz closes. Sending to the Rega with ASIO instead of Wasapi exclusive seems to work but what happens is it sometimes creates a conflict with JRiver even when that app is closed. I tried a bunch of different output settings. When I tried to play 192kHz audio on Qobuz though, it got all slowed down and garbled. So that's what I set it to, and Qobuz worked fine with 44 and 96kHz streaming audio on my Rega. I have been told that Wasapi exclusive is the preferred setting in Qobuz and I understand why, that I don't want the stream being modified thru Windows. ![]() The Rega plays up to 192kHz audio and shows the number on the front panel when it switches between 44, 96 and 192, playing all files at their native resolution. JRiver is configured with automatic zone switching so it all works very well. I also have an OPPO UDP-205 which I use for playing DSD files since the Rega won't support that format. This is the DAC I use with all PCM files on my hard drive when playing them with JRiver Media Center 24, sending exclusive ASIO to the Rega. Technical info: Windows 10 desktop PC, Qobuz app, and my primary DAC is a Rega DAC-R which is connected via USB. I have an Astell&Kern player for listening on the go. I am only going to use this for listening from my desktop PC to home stereo, no plans to try to take advantage of streaming on my Android phone since I am on a very limited data plan to save money. But I'm having some issues with finding the optimal audio output to set in Qobuz. This is my first use of a streaming service. ![]() I signed up for the free first month trial of Qobuz Studio since the price of $14.99 a month reeled me in. ![]()

12/19/2023 0 Comments Houdini mono air![]() And it’s designs like Houdini’s which help show the world how clothing can be made sustainably.” It’s processes and constructions like these, which make circularity possible. This groundbreaking technology can be a real enabler for circularity. “Polartec® Power AirTM is a step forward in reducing the environmental impact of what we make and wear,” says Steve Layton, President of Polartec®. By making the innovation open-source, the hope is that other brands will embrace and implement a circular approach to design. This means a significantly reduced risk of microplastic waste ending up in the ocean. The garment is completely circular, made from mono materials and engineered to reduce microfiber shedding by 80%. The Mono Air Houdi, which was first revealed in January and awarded gold at the prestigious ISPO Awards, was created by Houdini and Polartec® to address the issue of plastic and textile waste on a larger scale. Hopefully, we can make this initiative echo even beyond the textile industry”, says Eva Karlsson, CEO at Houdini. If we all share the problem, why not also share the solutions? One garment is not going to solve the problem, but we hope it can be one step on the way. The insight that sparked the idea of Project Mono Air was that if we want to really change the industry for the better, we can’t keep our innovations and discoveries to ourselves. ![]() ”The apparel industry is advancing when it comes to sustainable solutions, which is great. The goal behind the initiative is to help the apparel industry become circular and waste-free, a vision that means a big transformation and will require considerable collaboration. ![]() One can also follow every design decision, learn about the fabric technology and explore the circular design principles that lay the foundation for all Houdini garments. On the Project Mono Air website anyone can download a complete run-down of the garment’s components – from stitching patterns, to fabric technology, right down to the last button. ![]() To go one step further in making the clothing industry sustainable, the brand is now introducing Project Mono Air – a unique, open-source initiative where all the work behind their latest innovation, the Mono Air fleece jacket, is shared online. For the past decade, Swedish outdoor company Houdini has been a sustainability pioneer within the apparel industry, challenging the way outdoor apparel is designed, produced and used. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Adobe video editor![]() ![]() ![]() Single Camera comedy, however, is usually edited in a much tighter manner, with jokes layered on top of each other. Multi-camera sitcoms are shot on a soundstage with a studio audience and because they have a laugh track, the editorial style is much like stand-up comedy in the sense that the show is cut fat with room for the laughter to play out and time for the characters to take the laughter in. The Upshaws: Part 3 | Official Trailer | Netflix youtu.beĬoming from a background of editing stand-up comedy made my transition to cutting The Upshaws a fluid one. This came with a lot of pressure and growth but also led to my first three Primetime Emmy nominations in 2023: two for The Upshaws and one for History of the World Part II. It was my first multi-camera sitcom and I was the only editor on the second season of a hit show (except Episode 5, where I share a credit with the talented Russell Griffin). This was a pivotal moment in my career for multiple reasons. Off the top of my head, I can think of several recent video projects in which this would be quite helpful, either just cleaning up audio or sometimes even helping to pull separate voices out into their timelines for clearer editing.Ī look at Project Sound Lift in Premiere Pro Plus, with this being an Adobe innovation, its inclusion directly into Premiere Pro will be very appreciated by those already using this legacy NLE. Of course, some other apps on the market do this, but this appears to be a more sophisticated audio removal tool that isn’t just working to mask unwanted sounds.įor video editors specifically, this could be a great feature that could either be viewed as a revolutionary tool that could save projects that you might have given up on, or perhaps simply as a time-saving tool to help you do the manual task of EQ adjusting out your unwanted sounds. As you can see in the demo shared above, this technology isn’t perfect just yet, but it appears to be quite powerful-especially for a new technology that is still being developed. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Thank you for timely response![]() ![]() ![]() You'll be glad to know that our guests enjoyed every moment of it. I'd like to thank you again for your help organizing our 20th Anniversary event. Here is an example of a thank you email one can send after an event: “Thank you so much for this opportunity.”Īn expression like this is used when, for example, you are offered an opportunity to give a speech.

The high coverage of ITPGRFA Annex 1 crops and of those crops for which there is a CGIAR mandate in the current Seed Vault collection indicates that existence of international policies and institutions are important determinants for accessions to be safety duplicated at Svalbard. In the 29 food-crop genera with the largest number of accessions stored globally, an average of 5.5 out of the ten largest collections is already represented in the Seed Vault collection or is covered by existing deposit agreements. ![]() The number of accessions conserved globally generally reflects importance for food production, but there are significant gaps in the safety collection at Svalbard in some genera of high importance for food security in tropical countries, such as Amaranthus (amaranth), Chenopodium (quinoa), Eragrostis (teff) and Abelmoschus (okra). ![]() The numbers of safety duplicates of Triticum (wheat), Sorghum (sorghum), Pennisetum (pearl millet), Eleusine (finger millet), Cicer (chickpea) and Lens (lentil) exceed 50% of the estimated numbers of distinct accessions in global ex-situ collections. We estimate that more than one third of the globally distinct accessions of 156 crop genera stored in genebanks as orthodox seeds are conserved in the Seed Vault. Currently, 774,601 samples are deposited at Svalbard by 53 genebanks. We assess the completeness of the safety duplication collection in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault with respect to data on the world's ex-situ collections as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Ex-situ conservation of crop diversity is a global concern, and the development of an efficient and sustainable conservation system is a historic priority recognized in international law and policy. ![]() 12/19/2023 0 Comments Javascript versions wiki![]() Support for internationalization : 314 is very important.Portability is very important for source code and programmers, especially those already familiar with C and C++.The language is intended for use in developing software components suitable for deployment in distributed environments.: 563 Software robustness, durability, and programmer productivity are important.

The company took similar actions for other stocks, including AMC ( AMC), BlackBerry ( BB), Nokia ( NOK) and others, something the suit also takes issue with. Robinhood said in a statement Thursday that, “in light of recent volatility, we are restricting transactions for certain securities to position closing only.” “Upon information and belief, Robinhood’s actions were done purposefully and knowingly to manipulate the market for the benefit of people and financial institutions who were not Robinhood’s customers,” the complaint, filed by Brendon Nelson, alleges. It also alleges that Robinhood customers have endured “substantial losses” because of the move, and claims the trading platform violated Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules by denying users the opportunity to trade the stock. The complaint alleges that Robinhood’s action deprived users of taking advantage of potential gains as GameStop’s stock rose later in the day, as well as making it impossible for them to “short” the stock in case it drops.

If your dog has clear nails, you can easily see where the quick is (it's the pink-looking part), but if your dog has dark nails, you're essentially going in blind. Many people find that their dog's nails need trimming about once a month, but your schedule may vary. That depends on a range of factors, including how quickly the nails grow and how much exercise your dog gets (activity helps to wear down the nails naturally). How often should I clip my dog's nails?Ī. Take things slowly at first, and make sure you give him lots of praise and treats after each nail so that he learns having his nails done can be a pleasurable experience. The sooner he gets used to having his nails clipped, the less of a struggle it will be in the future. Start to trim your dog's nails as soon as possible (once it's settled in, of course), even if there's only a small amount to trim. ![]() When should I start clipping my dog's nails?Ī. You’re less likely to lose your grip while using them, which means you’re less likely to cut the nails too short.ĭogs who get a lot of exercise, especially on hard surfaces, generally don't need their nails clipped very often, as the nails wear down naturally. Rubberized grips are a nice feature to have because they make the clippers more comfortable to hold and use. For dogs who really object to the experience, you can even trim one nail a day at first. If your dog isn't used to having his nails trimmed, it's okay to trim the nails on one paw one day, another paw the next day, and so on, so you don't overwhelm him. If this is your first time cutting your dog's nails, watch some videos online to learn the right technique or asking your dog's veterinarian for tips.ĭon't be afraid to go slowly. Use this time as an opportunity to check for any lumps, bumps, cuts, or scrapes on your dog's paws. Take a good look at your dog's paws when trimming the nails. A large dog will require heavy-duty clippers with strong, sharp blades, while a small dog will need a daintier pair. This can be useful so that you don't accidentally start the tool while you're setting up, which could startle your dog.Ĭonsider your dog's size when selecting nail clippers. Some nail grinders have a safety lock that prevents the unit from grinding while it's on. This makes you less likely to accidentally cut yourself on the blades when carrying them around or looking for them.īoth guillotine and scissor-style nail clippers may have a safety guard, a bit of metal that sits opposite the blades to stop you from cutting too much off your dog's nail at once. Scissor-style clippers often have a safety catch to keep the blades together when they’re not in use. Safety featuresĭepending on the type of clippers you choose, you may find a range of useful safety features. Dull blades, when you squeeze the handles together, will crush the nail, which in turn exerts pressure on the quick, causing your dog discomfort. If the blades aren't sharp enough, they won't cut cleanly through the nail. Sharp blades create a smooth result free of jagged edges, but more importantly, they make the nail-cutting experience more comfortable for your canine companion. Look for a pair with thick, sturdy blades and strong handles. If your clippers aren't strong enough, they just won't cut it – literally and figuratively. Selecting a strong pair of clippers is particularly important if you have a large dog with thick nails. Some dog nail clippers are considerably stronger than others. ![]() |
