During her imprisonment, Starfire was abused and assaulted, eventually killing one of her attackers. Soon Blackfire led an invasion, successfully taking over her home planet and imprisoning her sister as well as banning her from ever returning to Tamaran. While the blame for that obviously does not lay at the feet of a newborn babe, it began a drastically tragic relationship with her home nation that never recovered. The Empire attacked Tamaran and killed thousands of its citizens and then to make things worse–and to create one of DC’s most powerful villains–they claim to have done it in the name of the newborn princess. In the DC Universe, the Citadel Empire is one of the most feared foes in the galaxy, and they proved why on the day that Komand’r was born. In fact she was as much of a victim as the rest of Tamaran. Princess Komand’r made an indelible imprint when she appeared on the final pages of New Teen Titans #22 with a memorable splash page showcasing the alien queen as she declared, “Her sister shall be her slayer!”īut why does she hate Starfire so deeply? Well, it’s a particularly tragic story and most tragic of all it’s a villain origin that isn’t actually Blackfire’s fault at all. Unlike the more grounded and emotionally driven human stories which defined much of what made New Teen Titans so popular, the saga of Blackfire and Starfire threw the Titans into a hard sci-fi adventure that pitted them against the eldest child of Tamaran. ![]() Marv Wolfman and George Pérez already shook up the DC Universe with their New Teen Titans series when they introduced Blackfire in their 22nd issue. Get ready to get familiar with TV’s newest Titan. So we’re here to give you the lowdown on Blackfire, who’s not only an original New Teen Titans character but a DC stalwart has also starred in a ton of your fave animated adventures. In the end, Gar and Koriand’r do save Blackfire, which means she’s likely going to become a regular. But it’s also a wake up call for the Princess of Tamaran, who has to come to terms with her own role in her sister’s dysfunction and crimes. ![]() It was an emotional episode for Starfire who has to help the sister she left behind, even though Blackfire killed their parents and usurped their reign. It’s a big surprise as the end of last season saw Blackfire hit Earth with big plans of revenge, but here we see her as a helpless victim and one who has to reach out to the woman she came to conquer for assistance. What she’d actually been experiencing were psychic messages from her sister, who was begging for her help as she had been captured by the US government and imprisoned deep underground. While Blackfire (Damaris Lewis) was less of a present threat in season two, now she’s on Earth and, as we learn this week this week, has been behind Starfire’s escalating and ever more violent visions. If you’ve watched the previous season of Titans then you’ll remember her as the epically stylish and nefarious Queen of Tamaran. Titans Episode 4Īs the team continues to grow, Titans episode 4, “Blackfire,” re-introduces us to Starfire’s sister. ![]() Attunes the body’s vibrations on a cellular level.Tunes the body’s natural cycle or circadian rhythm, stimulating homeostasis, which helps to bring the body back to its natural state.Sound therapy facilitated by tuning forks has many healing benefits: Tuning forks help heal on the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual level. The faster a tuning fork vibrates - meaning the faster its frequency - the higher the pitch of the note it makes. Scientifically, the speed at which a tuning fork vibrates is called its frequency, which is the number of times it vibrates per second, and is measured in hertz (Hz). These back-and-forth vibrations disturb the air molecules surrounding the tuning fork at tremendous speed, smashing more air molecules that finally hit your eardrum, and are processed as a gentle hum by your brain. When struck, usually with a mallet, on a knee cap or a hockey puck, the tines of the tuning fork begin to vibrate, several hundred times per second, producing waves that transmit vibrations in the air around it. Sound waves are created when any object vibrates - this can be the sound of someone talking, playing a key on a piano, or the sound of a vase smashing to the floor. Tuning forks are also used by doctors to assess hearing, and by healing practitioners for sound therapy. This serves as a standard for tuning musical instruments like pianos, violins and guitars. When struck, the tuning fork produces a very specific musical pitch depending on its unique frequency. Weights (some tuning forks also have weights to deepen the vibration).Stem (the part connecting the prongs to the footpiece).Tuning forks are most commonly made of aluminum or steel. A tuning fork is an acoustic instrument calibrated to specific frequencies. If you play a musical instrument, you might have used or heard of a tuning fork. ![]() Tuning Forks for Animal Healing and Pets.Why Are Tuning Forks Used for Healing with Sound Therapy?.In this post, we’ll cover what tuning forks are, how to use tuning forks for healing, and the benefits of tuning fork healing with sound therapy. This disharmony within us can lead to a feeling of unbalance, unrest and dis ease.įortunately, just like a finely tuned musical instrument, that produces perfect harmonies, we can use tuning forks to “tune-up” our system, and return back to a state of balance and harmony - both physically and energetically. Did you know that similar to a musical instrument, your body can also fall out of tune? ![]() When you compare this to the way most HID fixtures distribute light (with a single bulb and reflectors within the fixture), the result is light that is more EVENLY distributed across a given area. In regards to “distributing” light, LED fixtures commonly utilize “multi-point” sources, meaning the fixtures have multiple diodes with individual optics. Light emitting diodes generate light via a semi-conductor as opposed to the consumption of a “fuel source” like in HID lamps. Outdoor LED lighting such as commercial LED flood lights provide some excellent benefits for exterior areas requiring illumination because of how they GENERATE light and how they DISTRIBUTE light. So basically you trade a longer life for a poorer quality light, in regards to visual perspective with HPS.īenefits of LED Flood Lights What are the benefits of outdoor LED flood lights? If you are using high pressure sodium you may see longer “useful” life as these lamps see less lumen degradation than metal halide, but their fuel structure produces a very “orange” light with a very low color rendering index. For example, if you are using metal halide lamps, you may see light that is “whiter,” but these types of lamps tend to have accelerated lumen degradation, meaning the light output of the lamps decrease quickly after initial install, and as a result the overall lifetime of the lamp decreases (we have all seen those flood light fixtures that have “pink” lamps that are barely providing any illumination on the ground). Lighting Performanceĭepending on the type of HID lamp your facility utilizes, the performance characteristics of your flood lighting can vary significantly. It can easily cost up to $1,200 in labor and material to maintain a single exterior flood light fixture over the course of three years. These are expenses that can really add up over the course of a few years. Many buildings and facilities do not own a bucket truck or lift and as a result have to hire an outside contractor to maintain these fixtures. In addition to the potential lamp lifetime concerns, flood lighting, being commonly mounted at heights above 15 feet, often requires the use of a bucket truck or lift to change out a lamp or a ballast. Maintenance costs are often a big concern for outdoor lighting applications such as HID flood light fixtures. ![]() A 400w or 1000w HID fixture (very common wattages for exterior flood light fixtures) can cost up to $209 and $525 to operate per lamp, per year, in electricity costs alone. The function of the area being illuminated, combined with the quantity, spacing, and mounting height of the poles and fixtures plays a role in the existing wattages that are utilized. The higher the wattage the higher the light output. Common Issues What are some common issues with HID flood lighting applications?Īll HID lamps have some inherent characteristics that can lead to issues for those managing the exterior lighting applications.Ĭommon (HID) lamp wattages used for commercial and industrial flood light fixtures range from 100 watts to 1000 watts. ![]() Variety of gameplay content via FIFA Ultimate Team: Play FIFA soccer matches and build your ultimate football team.Expanded user experience: From stadium design, on-pitch improvements, voice chat, kit option, new intelligent trainers, to multiple tactics and new teams and/or players, the game will give fans the FIFA experience they’ve never seen before.Matchday atmosphere: share the emotion of the match in an official, worldwide broadcast by real-life broadcasters – while seeing your favourite teams play out the final of the FIFA World Cup live.New User Experience – More out of the box thinking and less learning.Players will also react to goal and goal-scoring opportunities in a more authentic way than ever. “HyperMotion Technology” – Players will be able to perform actions that they could realistically never do in real life.Interactive ball physics, fluid shots and goal celebrations, as well as “Exhilarating Take Ons” like Dribbling and Breakthroughs, aim to make you feel like you’re actually playing out in the middle of an intense match. Get ready for the most immersive gameplay experience FIFA has ever offered.Historical stats have been combined with the collected data, resulting in each player having With the addition of HyperMotion Technology, the amount of data these stats are based on has increased dramatically. One example of this can be seen below (screenshot taken from earlier in the match):Ī player’s stats in FIFA are based on the “football ability” he has been assigned at the start of a match. By capturing the data and employing the HyperMotion technology, these simulations have been improved, with more accurate positioning and movement across the pitch. In FIFA 18, players were often too slow to react to balls that were played into their feet. Players are able to react to the action quicker than the opposition, creating an immediate response. For example, if a player opens up the right side of the penalty area, the reaction to the ball will vary depending on where the player is positioned in relation to his teammates.ĭuring a free kick, player’s reactions to one another are used to improve the intelligence of the AI’s player positioning and decision-making. ![]() The ability to react instantly to the player’s on-field behavior is critical to helping players make decision quicker on the pitch, which is supported by how FIFA 22 handles shots on goal and free kicks. This data is used to support, reinforce and create new player animations. Player attributes are recorded both based on the player’s real-life position on the pitch and based on the position they’re visually displayed on-screen. This data is then used to animate multiple versions of player attributes and reactions. A defender’s tackle is obvious and his fast-paced movement is also captured and visualized by the engine for immediate feedback. When viewed in slow motion, the player’s motion is not only clearly visible, but it’s also representative of the type of player activity it is. The following video demonstrates how this movement works: This is recorded as a new combination of player movement, tackling and acceleration. The ongoing match is captured and analyzed frame by frame to determine the key moments and assets in play in a football match.įor example, at one point in the match, a player sprints 60 yards, makes a hard tackle and then runs some more. ![]() How does the HyperMotion Technology work? All my images are for personal use so I am not looking at a workflow that would see me benefiting from the sale of my images. I have been trying to determine the best workflow to use for image post processing. If we could, we most certainly would do both! In the extension, we cannot display our toolbar and, when opened as an external editor, we cannot save nondestructive changes to Photos. The different approaches exist purely because both are supported by Photos but they each have somewhat different limitations which are, again, set by the Photos app. So, why there are two different approaches to edit images in Pixelmator via Photos and why is only the "extension way" fully nondestructive in that it keeps all layers etc.? I really don't get the rationale behind this. The downside is the missing menu bar and limited capabilites (?) when work the "extension way". ![]() I may still revert to the original version in Photos like described above, but it's not quite a nondestructive workflow.ĭifferent from that all layers are kept if I choose edit in Photos and then open the picture via the extension in editing mode. However, if, for example, I open a file with command and enter, add a layer and choose save the layer is gone when I open the file with command and enter again. With Affinity Photo and Pixelmator Pro, there are now plenty of options if you don’t want to subscribe to Photoshop.By Totoff 20:19:15 Hi, I must say I'm having a hard time understanding what's the best workflow with Pixelmator and Photos … First off, I've chosen in Pixlemator settings to keep a copy on iCloud when working with the Photos extension (which works). ![]() I wouldn’t be surprised if the company switches its business model, moving away from one-time purchases to a subscription-based app like Ulysses.Īs Fedrico Viticci spotted, the company is also working on another app called Vectormator as well as an iPad version of Pixelmator Pro. The company says that it should be released on the App Store at some point this fall. The app should also be smarter when it comes to selections and repair tools. Pixelmator Pro will detect the horizon to straighten your photos. For instance, the app will be able to detect the content of your image and automatically name your different layers. Pixelmator Pro also leverages Apple’s Core ML framework for machine learning features. You can adjust the colors of your photos, draw, select and retouch images, write text and edit layouts. It’s going to look and feel like a native Mac app with tabs, full screen mode, Split View, iCloud support, Touch Bar buttons, versions, etc.Īll the usual features are still there, but they’ve been rethought. You can go back to your edit history and undo something in particular without having to hit Command-Z a dozen times. You can move and resize the entire app much more easily.Įverything you do in Pixelmator Pro is non-destructive. You can open menus on the left and right of the image. Pixelmator Pro provides a single, unified window with everything you need. But if you’re working on a tiny laptop, it can get messy really quickly. The existing version of Pixelmator relies on many different windows with tools, layers and more. But Pixelmator Pro looks like the successor of Pixelmator, a major update. It’s still unclear if the good old version of Pixelmator is going to stick around after the release of the new app. ![]() The company released a video, a ton of images and a website packed with information about Pixelmator Pro. It has been around for a few years now, and the Pixelmator team is about to launch a brand new app - Pixelmator Pro. Pixelmator is quite popular on macOS for instance.

The pictures were pretty, and I thought the minimalist graphics still told me most everything I needed to know and looked modern. They should fire every one of those announcers and hire a replacement crew. It was like listening to people in the stands who were attending their first ever MLB game and they had no idea how the game was played so they just talked gossip with each other. Apple put THREE people in the booth at once and then ANOTHER one on the field! Consequently, all you could hear was the uninformed bantering of the announcers through the ENTIRE game. At most you need two really good announcers, one for play-by-play call and another for color commentary. There were way too many commentators in that booth. The commentators talked way too much, they were off topic for 90% of the broadcast, and they sounded like they didn’t know a thing about baseball. In my 48 years of watching baseball, I’ve never experienced such poor commentary. But aside from the technology, let’s talk about the announcers. Baseball is a game of stats and they’re important to have displayed. Along with pause, rewind, fast-forward, and replay not being an option, there was no scrolling scores or stats anywhere.

Comment below.Įditor’s Note: WeCrashed is actually an Apple TV+ series starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway as high-flying entrepreneurs whose company collapses due to hubris. But some people seemed ready to swear on Bibles that it was 4K. It appeared from this veteran eye that the stream was 1080p (the highest level HD), a conclusion held by some other industry watchers. But the two-inning snafu did indeed overshadow a broadcast that otherwise would have been known as one that delivered an exceptional picture.Īpple has not commented on whether the game was streamed in 4K, (I asked multiple times), but many fans remarked on Twitter and elsewhere that the picture was very detailed and crisp, far more so than your typical HD presentation. More viewers means more strain on servers which can trigger meltdowns.īut Apple TV+’s stream did seem to stabilize after the fourth inning although the Nationals’ pitching did not, allowing the Mets to win going away, 7-3. As sports leagues issue more exclusive contracts to streamers, the problem could actually get worse before it gets better. Fans had no other way to watch the game which featured the Mets’ Max Scherzer’s return to Nationals Park after pitching for the Nationals for nearly seven years.Ī single crash for Apple TV’s MLB debut will overshadow whatever else they show tonight, for better or worse.ĭamn you, live streaming!!!! #AppleTV+ /MerOoIBYwGĪpple TV+’s first ever MLB broadcast crashing, thereby playing into the exact fears leagues and fans have with sports migrating* to streaming platforms, is poetic.Īs Julia Alexander suggested, live streaming continues to experience technical headaches with viewers often complaining of buffering and/or crashing while watching during highly viewed events such as the World Series, Super Bowl and season-ending episodes.
