![]() ![]() Peanuts can be offered in a variety of ways, including in a specialized peanut feeder or mixed with other types of birdseed in a wild bird feeder. Being so rich in fat and calories makes this a great choice for winter feeding when birds need this the most.Ī huge variety of birds will eat peanuts, including woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, and titmice. These nuts are a rich source of energy that birds love. Peanuts are a great source of food for many bird species. It is also important to clean the feeding area regularly to prevent the buildup of debris and bacteria. Wet or dirty seeds can lead to mould growth and can be harmful to birds. When feeding birds with White Proso Millet, it is important to provide a clean and dry feeding area. These seeds can be served up in feeders or simply sprinkled on the ground for foraging birds to collect These small seeds are eaten by most seed eaters and are particularly enjoyed by ground-feeding species. White proso millet is the best variety of millet for feeding birds. Juncos, blue jays, cardinals, grosbeaks, and most seed-eating birds will greedily feast on pumpkin bird seed, so remember not to throw them in the trash next Halloween! 8. As a seed for birds, they are pretty expensive but the fact that pumpkins are often on our own menus means you can harvest your own seeds at home or even ask friends and family to keep theirs for you. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of nutrition that many birds love. Additionally, it is important to choose high-quality Nyjer seeds that are free of contaminants and fillers. Overall, Nyjer seeds can be a nutritious and effective option for feeding small birds, but they should be used in combination with other types of seed and food sources to provide a varied and balanced diet. Be sure to use a feeder designed for smaller foods when using the tiny nyjer seeds.īirds that will happily feed on nyjer seeds include redpolls, buntings, goldfinches, and siskins. These imported seeds are sterile and won’t germinate below your feeders. Nyjer seeds, from the plant Guizotia abyssinica, are great for smaller finch and seed-eating birds. Hulled sunflower seeds are larger than other types of seed and can easily clog traditional wild bird feeders, leading to mould growth and attracting unwanted pests. When using hulled sunflower seeds as bird feed, it is important to provide them in a specialized feeder that is designed to prevent spillage and waste. Hulled birdseed will save you the time and effort of cleaning up discarded shells below your wild bird feeder. Hulled sunflower seeds are naturally more expensive than unshelled options due to the extra process that goes into their production. These are a no-waste option that virtually any seed eater will enjoy, including squirrels, of course. Hulled sunflower meats and seeds are great for a large variety of birds. Birds love the softer shells and high oil content of these sunflower meats and seeds.īirds that will eat black oil sunflower seeds include nuthatches, grosbeaks, cardinals, titmice, finches, siskins, jays, and many more. These oily seeds are one of the best birdseed food choices for many birds. While the shells of these seeds may be a bit too thick for some birds, others such as grosbeaks, chickadees, and cardinals will have no problem with this nutritious wild bird food source. Striped sunflower bird seed typically has thick shells which tend to keep house sparrows looking elsewhere. Each of them is great for bird feeding and each has its own particular benefits. Striped Sunflower SeedsĪs far as sunflower seeds go, there are a few options. starlings, grackles, and squirrels are mostly not interested in this wild bird food, which is great news if you’ve found them taking over your feeders and muscling out your favourite songbirds. The real benefit of safflower seeds lies in what they don’t attract. Safflower seeds are pretty tough and will mostly appeal to birds with strong bills, although doves enjoy these seeds too. Safflower seeds are fast becoming one of the most popular wild bird seeds because they have the ability to attract wonderful native bird species like cardinals and finches. Remember to keep your cracked corn stored safely, preferably not in plastic as these seeds can become toxic if exposed to water and allowed to spoil. There is one drawback to feeding cracked corn though, and that is the fact that this bird seed is also very popular with less welcome guests like house sparrows, European starlings, and squirrels. Cracked corn is a great no-waste option, and being cracked into a smaller size than whole corn kernels, smaller birds can eat it.

We do not anticipate that Apple will implement our requested functionality. We made a feature request to Apple in September 2019 (FB7328230) to allow ASR to clone just the System volume. As a result, every time an OS update is applied to the source, you would have to erase the whole destination volume (including any existing snapshots on that volume) just to update the system on the destination. Right now, ASR will only copy whole volume groups (System and Data) we can't choose to copy just the System volume. That volume can only be copied using Apple's proprietary APFS replication utility ("ASR"). Starting in macOS Big Sur, the system now resides on a cryptographically sealed "Signed System Volume".

Apple indicated that they had made significant progress on this issue in the 12.3 update. We reported this issue to Apple in January 2022 (FB9857268). This problem is limited to Apple Silicon Macs and SMB volumes. Specifically, the "kext.kalloc.32768" memory zone is expanded until it can no longer be expanded ("zone_map_exhaustion" occurs), at which point the memoryd system process starts to terminate idle processes. The underlying problem appears to be a memory leak in the macOS kernel or one of the kernel extensions.

It's great for the development teams at Petroglyph and Lemon Sky. So, all things coming together, it's really turned out to be a launch that has exceeded all of our expectations. Watching people go for the achievements has been really fun. That has been a great collaboration, taking advantage of the native platform on Steam with the Steam Workshop and achievements. We got great support from our teams and from Valve going onto Steam for the first time. We were in the top of the Steam sales charts for a few weeks. It's been great to see that vision is landing well.Īnd then from a commercial standpoint, it's also been great to see. And so I think it has exceeded everybody's expectations for threading the needle between that kind of authenticity and staying true to the original experience, but also modernising and updating the right things in the game. And some quotes saying, 'it's one of the best remasters of all time,' from some really reputable outlets. But to see the ratings come in as high as they did - we've had over 20 90-plus reviews come in from different outlets around the world - that's just phenomenal. So I really didn't know what to expect going into it from a critical standpoint. And obviously that makes everybody nervous. We've seen a couple of games of late not get a positive response. There have been quite a few of these RTS remasters over the past five, six, seven years, and there's been a wide spectrum of response. We weren't really sure how the greater industry was going to react to the game. On the critical reception side, I'll admit it has exceeded my expectations. It is really meaningful to us on the development team. ![]() And it's fantastic to see the community come into it with an open mind, and give us that chance to earn that back, and to then see that reflected in the response has been really humbling. Our top priority in building the remastered collection was to do this for the fans, to rebuild that community sentiment, try and rebuild that trust. We had lost a lot of the trust of the community. The Command & Conquer franchise has had a little bit of a turbulent decade, you could say. We've been hovering around a 9.0 user rating on Steam and on some of the sites. The reception we received from fans was really meaningful to us. Jim Vessella: It's been fantastic, to be honest. It looks from the outside that Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a success. When I recently interviewed EA producer Jim Vessella, who led the Command & Conquer remastered project, to ask why the developers left in a 25-year-old exploit, I thought it would be a good chance to quiz him on what's next, where the Command & Conquer franchise finds itself, and the future of the RTS genre. But I also wonder whether the success of Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, which, let's be honest, is the first good thing to happen to the franchise in a decade (Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances, Command & Conquer: Generals 2 and mobile game Command & Conquer Rivals all failed in various ways) means the powers that be at EA may now consider the time right to invest in a new, fully-fledged Command & Conquer game. It seems natural for EA to tackle Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 next. I've seen plenty of requests for EA to continue to work with the developers at Petroglyph Games and Lemon Sky Studios on more remasters of classic C&C games. But as its developers continue to support the game with balance updates, tweaks and mod support, the inevitable question is this: what's next for Command & Conquer? ![]() EA's nostalgia-fuelled real-time strategy revival was a hit with fans and critics alike when it launched in June - and it saw big sales on Steam. I think it's fair to say Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a resounding success. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() During last year’s Freedom Convoy in downtown Ottawa, Mendicino repeatedly stated that invoking the Emergencies Act was done at the request of law enforcement. Earlier this year, assurances from Mendicino that illegal Chinese police stations in Canada had been shut down were proved false after reports that two such offices in Montreal had continued operating under the government’s nose. Mendicino then said that his office knew of the impending transfer since March, but that information wasn’t passed on to him. Most recently, Mendicino claimed no knowledge of plans to transfer serial killer Paul Bernardo to a medium-security facility, despite Correctional Service of Canada officials informing his office of the move on two separate occasions. Since taking on the role in 2021, Mendicino found himself at the centre of a number of controversies and gaffes. But Marco Medicino had a habit of it, which likely explains why he wasn’t just shuffled out of his public safety role, but out of cabinet entirely. Certain ministers weren’t helping: With his popularity already in trouble, it was getting hard for Trudeau to afford having ministers making him look bad on a regular basis.He said the spring was especially hard on the Trudeau Liberals - particularly surrounding issues of foreign interference, housing and inflation - prompting the need to make dramatic changes. McGill political scientist Daniel Béland said he thinks the Liberals’ poor polling performance was absolutely a factor in Wednesday’s shuffle. The same poll suggests six in ten Canadians aren’t happy with a lack of transparency and accountability in government spending. Another Ipsos poll released July 19 suggests growing impatience with government finances, with over half of those polled saying Ottawa is overspending. ![]() Those numbers closely match the results of an Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month, which put Conservative support at 37 per cent and Liberal support at 32 per cent. That represents a four-per-cent increase from last month for the CPC, and a one-per-cent loss for the Liberals. Thirty-eight per cent of respondents said they’d vote Conservative if an election were held today, compared to just 28 per cent who pledged to vote Liberal. In a poll released Wednesday by Abacus Data, Pierre Poilievre’s Tories show a 10-point lead over the Liberals. Pollsters show significant ground lost by the Liberals while the Conservatives surge. The Liberals’ popularity is sinking: Evidence is everywhere that Canadians are thinking seriously about changing government.Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt. ![]() ![]() I remember I was mid-playthrough in Dark Souls 1 when. ![]() Here is my ranking: 1: Dark Souls 2 - This is the game that made me fall in love with Souls.

The frequency, in this case, is the reciprocal of the period.In simple harmonic motion, the acceleration of the system, and therefore the net force, is proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction of the displacement.Ī good example of SHM is an object with mass m attached to a spring on a frictionless surface, as shown in Figure. The period, T, is the time required for one cycle and the frequency, f, is the number of cycles that occur in exactly 1.00 second. One cycle refers to the complete to-and-fro motion that starts at some position, goes all the way to one side, then all the way to the other side, and returns to the original position. The greatest displacement of the mass from the equilibrium position is called the amplitude of the motion. Circular motion and simple harmonic motion have a lot in common. The movement of the light will appear to you to be back and forth in simple harmonic motion. You are sitting in a chair at some distance from the merry-go-round so that the only part of the system that is visible to you is the light bulb. Another example is to imagine a glowing light bulb riding a merry-go-round at night. It moves consistently from the far left to the far right until you stop spinning the yo-yo. The object will move back forth in the same way that a mass moves in SHM. Remember the yo-yo we spin over our heads? In your mind, turn the circle so that you are looking at it on edge imagine you are eight feet tall, and the yo-yo's circle is exactly at eye level. Imagine an object moving in uniform circular motion. ![]() In a frictionless system, the mass would oscillate forever, but in a real system, friction gradually reduces the motion until the mass returns to the equilibrium position and motion stops. Eventually, when the mass reaches its maximum displacement on this side of the equilibrium position, the velocity has returned to zero and the restoring force and acceleration have returned to the maximum. As the spring is stretched further, the displacement increases, the restoring force increases, the acceleration toward the equilibrium position increases, and the velocity decreases. Because of its inertia, the mass will continue past the equilibrium position, and stretch the string. The acceleration, therefore, is zero, but the mass is moving at its highest velocity. When the mass reaches the equilibrium position, there is no restoring force. As the mass moves toward the equilibrium position, the displacement decreases, so the restoring force decreases and the acceleration decreases. At the position of maximum displacement, the restoring force is at its greatest - the acceleration of the mass will be greatest. When the mass is at the maximum displacement position, velocity is zero because the mass is changing direction. The spring exerts a force on the mass pushing it toward the equilibrium position. Suppose the spring is compressed a distance x=A, and then released. This equation is accurate as long as the spring is not compressed to the point that the coils touch nor stretched beyond elasticity. The spring constant is represented by k and its units are N/m. In the equation above, the constant of proportionality is called the spring constant. (A spring must be chosen that obeys this requirement.) ![]() ![]() The magnitude of the restoring force, F, in either case must be directly proportional to the distance, x, the spring has been stretched or compressed. The oscillation which can be expressed in. Note Every oscillatory motion is periodic motion but every periodic motion is not oscillatory motion. Similarly, if the object is pushed to the left, the spring will be compressed and will exert a restoring force to return the object to its original position. A periodic motion taking place to and fro or back and forth about a fixed point, is called oscillatory motion, e.g., motion of a simple pendulum, motion of a loaded spring etc. If the object is pulled to the right, the spring will be stretched and exert a restoring force to return to the weight to the equilibrium position. ![]() This position is the middle, where the spring is not exerting any force either to the left or to the right. The position shown in the illustration is the equilibrium position. The spring is considered to be weightless. The surface supports the object so its weight (the force of gravity) doesn’t get involved in the forces. This motion is also known as simple harmonic motion, often denoted as SHM.Ī useful design for examining SHM is an object attached to the end of a spring and laid on a surface. When we speak of a vibration or oscillation, we mean the motion of an object that repeats itself, back and forth, over the same path. Many objects vibrate or oscillate – an object on the end of a spring, a tuning fork, the balance wheel of a watch, a pendulum, the strings of a guitar or a piano. ![]() ![]() ![]() That way I don't have to write new code, I just drop the files in that folder, run it, and move them out when it's done.Pixelator is a smart software to convert images into pixel art sprites and cover arts. To process just the RGB as one image and the Alpha of another, then combine them again, can you do that just in memory, or do you have to do that with temporary images? I'm doing it all in a batch file (I'm on windows) and I've made a file that looks at all of the images in a folder, running the same settings on all of the files in that folder. Tif wasn't supported, and it's 7MB, so I just shared it as oneDrive. It's not a particularly great image, I was just trying to create an example where I actually got that. When converting from 16bit to 8bit color you'll see harsh banding in the shadow. I don't know how to do that, so will have to do some research. Of course, this being a render from Keyshot, that isn't actually true, so that's a good reason to do it that way. I had thought about making sure the dither happened without the transparency, but realistically it shouldn't have to because the shadow would be the transparent part here, and the color Should be black, where the alpha channel would be the part that needs transparency. And I am aware that PNG24 is 8 bits per channel, so I Definitely should have been able to guess that PNG32 was Also 8 bits per channel, but include alpha, because.that's easy math! 32bit is generally reserved for per color definitions, so that would be floating point. Photoshop lists PNG8 as 256 colors and PNG24 as 8 bit color and just has a checkbox to allow/not transparency. Well, not I'm embarrassed at that stupid mistake. Those that don't do renderings would most frequently see those issues in pictures with sky.īeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback. The goal here is to take the 16 bit color image and dither it using FloydSteinberg so that the more limited 8bit/channel image would look close to the 16 bit color image, but without banding in smooth transition areas. Because what I really want to do is limit to the colors of RGB565 in that case, or in this case I want to get RGBA 8888 (not sure what that format would actually be named). A coworker was using threshold,32,64,32 to change to RGB565, but I'm not sure if that was working correctly or if it's just like using posterize on an image, limiting to 32 levels. There are So many options that I'm not sure what I can/should use. Although, perhaps that is what is messing some things up, because that doesn't have values of transparency? I'm remapping the colors to force the image to remap to an image that has every single RGB888 color in it. I'm not sure how the dithering works, and if it even works on the alpha values, or only for RGB? I recently had to convert some renders to RGB565 and ImageMagick worked Amazingly well.Ĭonvert test16.png -quantize Log -dither FloydSteinberg -remap allColors.webp -define png:format=png24 test16_dither.png But I'm failing at even getting transparency to work. At 16bit, the banding is effectively eliminated, so I wondered if I could render to 16 bit and convert to 8. Some 3D rendering methods don't do a great job of dithering values so things like ground shadows, especially when transparent, cause banding. ![]() ![]() ![]() Harnessing the benefits of the standard 96-well plate format, 3D spheroidal cultures with compatible designs were developed to address several applications. The practical utilization of a 96-well plate for biological inquiry enables the execution of parallel and large-scale independent experiments. The conceptualized WPF approach can be adapted for a range of applications in both basic and applied biological/engineering research. As a proof-of-concept, we also demonstrate matrix-assisted tumor culture techniques in advancing the broader use of 3D culture systems. To demonstrate the applicability and practicality of the conceived approach, we utilized human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116) to first show the generation of large scaffold-free 3D tumor spheroids over 1.5 mm in diameter in single-well plates. The droplets of the medium generated by the well-plate flip (WPF) method can be easily modified to address various mechanisms and processes in cell biology, including cancer. Hanging drop preparation can be easily employed by flipping a universal 96-well plate. In this study, we introduce a straightforward and user-friendly approach based on standard 96-well plates with basic amenities for growing 3D tumors in a scaffold-free/scaffold-based format. This, in turn, limits their applicability and standardization. Despite the widespread interest, need, and present-day effort, most of the 3D tumor culturing methodologies have not gone beyond the inventors’ laboratories. Three-dimensional (3D) tumor culture techniques are gaining popularity as in vitro models of tumoral tissue analogues.
