![]() ![]() You can read the details in this introduction from John Hudson, and in the OpenType specification. It is based on Apple’s TrueType GX Variations format and Adobe’s Multiple Master format, which both originated in the 1990s but never became popular at the time. The extension of the OpenType font format that allows this is called OpenType Variations and was introduced in 2016. But with FontLab, in addition to static fonts, you can also export your multiple-master design as one variable OpenType font, so that the end-user of the font can dynamically choose any instance within the font’s design space. They would design the masters, then pick a set of instances, and export them as a family (or part of a family) of traditional static fonts in the OpenType format or older formats such as Type 1. Type designers used variation in font editors like Fontographer and FontLab Studio 5 for more than two decades. You can preview instances dynamically at any axis location, and you can predefine some instances by giving them names. If the masters match (are geometrically compatible), you can use interpolation to combine your masters at a requested axis location and to to produce instances: intermediate, blended snapshots of the variation. Masters are like “key frames” of the variation. Each master has a numerical location on each axis. In these “master styles”, you design how each glyph looks when it’s “regular”, “bold”, “condensed”, “wide” etc. ![]() In FontLab, you can add multiple masters to your font. But as a type designer, you can fluently change the weight or some other aspect of the design, which is more like using sliders to change the brightness, contrast or volume of the TV.Īn aspect of the font that changes fluently (such as weight, width, slant, contrast, optical size or ascender length) is called a design axis. The users could switch between those two, or perhaps a few more, weights, like you would switch the channel on your TV. In metal type and in traditional digital fonts (“static” fonts), a font with “regular” weight was completely separate from a font with “bold” weight. When you work on a type design in FontLab, you design the shape (look) of each glyph, but you can also design the variation of each glyph.

You can cut it close to the fresco or leave some of the burlap exposed like I did.Do you have a hobby of making decorations out of plaster? Or maybe you got some as present a long time ago and now want to breathe some new life into them? When you have finished sealing your painting, cut away extra burlap. You want the cracks filled enough so it will hold the painting together. Repeat with a 2nd and possibly a 3rd coat of glue. The glue will seal the fresco and hold the broken pieces together. (This happens quickly!) Squeeze white craft glue directly on the painting making sure to get it in the cracks. Make sure to get paint in the cracks so none of the white plaster is exposed.Īllow the painting to dry completely. This should be quite watery so it adds just a tint of color and does not hide your original painting. Make a golden/light brown wash with watercolors.

What was even more reassuring to me was hearing that their employees can’t even see your financial data. Tiller has bank-grade security and has partnered with a company that works with some of the biggest banks in North America to ensure it’s up to the same high standards banks are held to. (Don’t worry they have a 60-day money-back guarantee as well). ![]() If you’re like me and spend an hour or more getting your data into a uniform format or have avoided budgeting because you don’t want to take the time to mess with your data, $$6.58/month is well worth what you are getting in return for Tiller’s service. You can use my link for a free 30 day trial, but after that it’s $$6.58/month. They will come through in a uniform format that looks something like this: Once you sign up for Tiller you simply have to connect your accounts and your financial transactions will be dumped into a Google Spreadsheet each day. But they don’t allow you to dump your data into a spreadsheet because they either haven’t built a tool that can do that or they have a huge incentive to not allow their users to dump data into a spreadsheet. Now there are a ton of apps out there that link to your accounts. Tiller is what I have been waiting for: it automates the process of pulling in your financial data into a clean, uniform format. That all changed when I discovered Tiller. Fast forward four years and I still haven’t shared a spreadsheet. I didn’t want to share a budgeting spreadsheet until I solved this key piece of the puzzle. No two financial institutions seem to export data in the same format. I have a number of credit cards due to credit card churning, plus throw in a bank account and you can see why it would take quite a bit of time to reformat everything. The biggest issue with spreadsheet budgeting is getting all the data in the proper format. When I share spreadsheets and tools I want them to be as easy to use as possible. I’ve had the same spreadsheet for over four years now. I’m an Excel nerd so using a spreadsheet to budget was a no-brainer for me. But first let me tell you a bit about the budgeting process I’ve used in the past. Today we finally have a budget spreadsheet in Excel that is automated and easy to update. The more people I talk to about budgeting, the more I hear that people desire a spreadsheet-based budget without all the manual work that comes with it.

I shared his comps on the Dynasty Podcast ranging from career outlier Darren Sproles at the high end to someone like PPR one-hit wonder Tarik Cohen or former Bucs RB Chris Rainey as small speed freaks. Devon Achane feels a bit rich at the 2.02.Follow the draft capital and the WR position. There is going to be a WR potentially fall beyond those TEs in the second round of a SuperFlex with a seemingly bad immediate opportunity. Michael Mayer and Dalton Kincaid look like a tier above the rest but Jason’s advice was to let others make that mistake this early and instead swing for the fences late (4th round or free agent?) at the position. Often we find TEs with draft capital don’t necessarily match that within the first couple of years. Over the last decade, 143 different TEs were taken in rookie drafts with only five real hits in rookie drafts. The advice may sound a bit dogmatic but he had the data to back it up. Jason shared his advice on the recent Dynasty Podcast: don’t draft rookie TEs! Period.Jaylen Waddle was recently pushed down the board in 2021 for players (both RBs & WRs) with seemingly better opportunities. The draft capital associated with these players is going to determine much of the order but my research on rookie drafts has revealed that managers tend to value immediate opportunity over talent/draft capital. The end of the first round is going to be a logjam of WRs.I could see him fall into the late 1st/early 2nd of SuperFlex drafts as other players ( Kendre Miller? Devon Achane?) potentially could be selected ahead of him in the NFL Draft. Some of those landing spots are better than others in terms of immediate contribution but this is a classic example of a player we liked pre-draft process but might need to adjust after the NFL Draft. He did have team visits with CHI, BUF, TB, LAC, DAL, LV, and a private workout with SF. Charbonnet is not a sure thing to be selected in the 2nd round. Jahmyr Gibbs and Zach Charbonnet are seen as a tier break from the rest of the RBs… but does the NFL feel that way? Gibbs has the highest odds (-2000) to be the 2nd RB selected and we took a recent long shot wager on his landing spot if you’re interested.We discussed Richardson at length on Wednesday’s Fantasy Footballers Dynasty podcast. ![]() I wrote his Rookie Profile giving Vince Young as a median comp: physical tools, insane rushing as a rookie, won Rookie of the Year, and quickly flamed out as a starter before seeing his 2nd contract. The accuracy concerns are certainly a major red flag along with only starting 13 games. If he runs like we think he could as a goal-line specialist, you’re looking at fantasy gold.

At low levels, the pulse temporarily disables electronics systems mid-range levels corrupt computer data. ![]() What kind of bomb knocks out electricity?Īn e-bomb (electromagnetic bomb) is a weapon that uses an intense electromagnetic field to create a brief pulse of energy that affects electronic circuitry without harming humans or buildings. ![]() When the giant bomb finally detonated about 13,000 feet (4 kilometers) over its target, the blast was so powerful that it destroyed everything within a nearly 22-mile (35-kilometer) radius, and generated a mushroom cloud that towered nearly 200,000 feet (60 kilometers). It is believed the bomb was the most powerful weapon of mass destruction which was developed in 1961 during the Cold War. Russia’s most powerful nuclear weapon was produced during the Soviet era called the Tsar Bomba. Only a small country such as Vatican City or Monaco with land areas of 44 ha and 202 ha respectively can be completely destroyed using a nuclear weapon. Can the Tsar Bomba destroy a country?ĭepending on its impact radius, even a Tsar bomb cannot destroy a whole country. A few 1000 gigatons would be enough to kill all humans. Potential gigaton yield devices are “doomsday bombs.” One detonated about 16 kilometers up would start fires over an area of more than 700,000 square kilometers. It’s discussed in not one but two books released this month and in an article in the latest issue of Wired magazine. What few knew until recently is that in 1984, the Soviet Union actually did build a doomsday machine of sorts. Now, in 1964, that concept was a movie fantasy. Unfortunately, so was the Novichok nerve agent, the world’s largest nuclear weapon and Russia’s doomsday device, just to name a few. The Operation Antler/Round 1 test by the British at the Tadje site in the Maralinga range in Australia on Septemtested a bomb using cobalt pellets as a radiochemical tracer for estimating yield. Has a cobalt bomb ever been used?Īs far as is publicly known, no cobalt bombs have ever been built. However, the UK tested a bomb which incorporated cobalt as an experimental radiochemical tracer on 14 September 1957 at its test site in Maralinga, Australia. To public knowledge, no such bomb has actually ever been atmospherically tested or built. In addition, fallout is not deposited evenly throughout the path downwind from a detonation, so some areas would be relatively unaffected by fallout and the Earth would not be universally rendered lifeless by a cobalt bomb. This tells us that one pound of antimatter is equivalent to around 19 megatons of TNT. Matter and anti-matter annihilate each other on contact, releasing energy according to Einstein’s famous formula. In principle, antimatter looks like the ultimate explosive. They act through the effects of radioactive contamination on the environment and related health effects of radiation poisoning in the affected populations. They are designed to disperse radioactive material over a certain area. The Tsar Bomba The Tsar Bomba Has a dirty bomb ever been used?ĭirty bombs have never been used, only tested. What is the most powerful bomb in the world? Theoretically, a device containing 510 metric tons of Co-59 can spread 1 g of the material to each square km of the Earth’s surface (510,000,000 km2). ![]() The half-life of the radioactive cobalt produced is about 5 years, which is long enough to give the fallout plenty of time to settle before it decays and kills, but short enough to produce intense radiation for a lot longer than you’d last in a fallout shelter. How long does radiation from a cobalt bomb last? Apart from peaceful medical and industrial uses, experts say cobalt-60 can also be used in a dirty bomb in which conventional explosives disperse radiation from a radioactive source. ![]() ![]() ![]() State violence does not just refer to killings by the police or police violence more generally, but also the myriad ways the state rejects and devalues Black individuals, as well as the “normality” of this devaluing and disregard. But Black and Arab, or Maghrebin-origin, individuals have long known-through the histories and legacies of colonial slavery and colonial rule-that the state does not value their lives. Adama and George’s deaths are connected, and so too are the anti-racist protests.Īs an ethnographer and scholar of race and racism in France for over a decade, I remember hearing of Adama’s death in a New York Times headline-“Black Lives Matter in France, Too”-on July 29, 2016. “ Justice pour Adama, Justice pour George Floyd, Justice pour Tous!” or “Justice for Adama, Justice for George Floyd, Justice for everyone,” protest signs read. Simply put, as both Adama and George’s last words revealed, neither of them could breathe. However, what activists in Paris and elsewhere in France are doing is making a direct connection between the police violence and injustice facing Black Americans with the long-standing police violence and injustice facing Black and Arab individuals in France, and around the world. ![]() As this demonstration was a mere week after the murder of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020, many assumed that this demonstration was just like any of the other protests throughout the United States (and the world) in the aftermath of this death. On June 2, 2020, more than 20,000 protestors demonstrated outside of the High Court in Paris (in defiance of France’s quarantine-related prohibition of gatherings larger than 10 people). In late May, the three police officers were cleared in their involvement for Adama’s death.Īssa Traore is Adama’s 35-year-old sister and is leading the movement for justice for her brother and other victims of police violence through the collectif, Comité Vérité et Justice pour Adama. The police originally stated that he had died of a heart attack, and then said he had prior health conditions which caused his death. In this case, Adama was taken to a nearby police station and by the time he arrived, he was dead. Adama was stopped for an identity check-a not uncommon measure by which police officers stop individuals and ask for their identification (often disproportionately targeting Black and Arab individuals). On July 19, 2016, Adama Traore, a 24-year-old Black construction worker, was killed after an arrest by three police officers in Beaumont-sur-Oise, a northern banlieue, or suburban outskirt, of Paris. ![]() –Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth 1 Frantz Fanon.
