![]() There are some similarities to Alice in Wonderland in some of the nonsensical fantasy that happens, but it also reminded me a bit of Peter Pan, the way that it's a book about children but doesn't speak down to them there are parts that only older readers will really get, coupled with a keen wit and talent for wordplay. It's classified as a "middle grade" book, though it's one that I think teenagers, young adults, and adults will really love as well. Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes is, naturally, the story of that journey, and it is filled with magic, adventure, colorful characters, and a riddle. But one day, while breaking into the carriage of a mysterious Haberdasher, he discovers a mysterious box that sets him on a fantastic journey. Seamus, became trained in the art of thievery. Peter Nimble is a blind orphan who, under the tutelage of the beggarmonger Mr. And then the publisher was going to send me a copy, but it never arrived, and then it was December.) And then there was a really long line to get it back from the library. (Short story: I checked it out of the library, read it before my interview with Auxier, and then had to return it before I had written about it. I fully intended to write a review shortly afterward, but due to some mix-ups it took me a while to get my hands on a copy again. Jonathan Auxier and a giveaway of his book.During my Wordstock Sneak Peek, I mentioned that I absolutely loved this book: Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes by Jonathan Auxier. ![]() ***Stay tuned for an exclusive interview with the author & illustrator, Mr. This really is a delightful story that you should treat yourself to whether you have kids or not. It is a tad on the long side for a middle grade novel, but that appears to be the trend this year. The verdict: I would recommend this to everyone. Third of all (and I’ll let this be my last ‘of all’ because the purpose of these reviews is to keep ’em quick), the illustrations are beautiful and complement the story without interfering with the reader’s imagination. He is the perfect, kind-hearted hero who still wrestles with doubt and worry. Despite the fact that he is a blind orphan, he is also extremely resourceful and only steals to stay alive. Sure, there were a few plot twists that I saw coming, but I’m going to attribute that to my age and the fact that I’m so smart. First of all, I was constantly surprised by the odd assortment of characters, the bizarre setting, and the plot of the story. The good: There are so many wonderful things about this book. ![]() Contained in a small box are three sets of magical eyes, and these eyes launch him into an adventure that could only be described as, well you guessed it, fantastic. ![]() Peter sniffs out just such a treasure in his tenth year, and immediately knows this is the greatest treasure in the world. However, since Peter is eye-less (aka blind) his other senses are much better than yours or mine, which means he can pick any lock, pick any pocket and sniff out any treasure. When Peter was a wee little baby he was put into a basket that was set on the sea and a raven pecked his eyes out. Summary: There are three things you should know about Peter Nimble: #1 he is an orphan, #2 he is blind, #3 he is the greatest thief that ever lived.

There hasn’t been a single song I wanted to play that wasn’t in their library, and even searched some pretty obscure songs. Ok, maybe not, but a man can dream, can’t he? Maybe I would have been on stage with Def Leppard. I wish I would have had this app when I was a teenager in the 80’s. And I’m having loads of fun doing it because I can actually see my progress! I’m going from a “dad band” plunker just playing what sounded good to me, to being a serious music student striving to play the right notes in the correct time. I’ve improved my bass playing more in the last 6 months with this app than I did the previous 15 years without. * Prices are equal to the value determined by ‘Apple's App Store Matrix’ as the equivalent of the subscription price in $USD.
![]() ![]() Inspired by the Google Pixel series, it has been available for a long time but is still one of the closest to Google’s own “At a Glance” widgets for smartwatches. It might be labelled as a “Minimal” watch face but this Pixel-like option is far from it in our opinion. For anyone all-in on Material You, this is a great watch face. There are three customizable complications include a battery level indicator that mimics the volume slider in Android 13. The difference here is that it’s scaled down to a smartwatch screen. It looks like the bubbly rounded widgets you probably already use on your Pixel home screen. If you love all things Material You, then we point you to this watch face. Here’s a few of our favorite “Digital” watch faces for Pixel Watch: Digital Material You Most modern timepieces use a digital dial and so you might want to on your Pixel Watch. Instead, it’s just numerical digits rather than hands on a dial. Tactical Watch face (Free)Ī “Digital” watch or clock does away with the circular style that is synonymous with most clocks. While it does have a military style, the color options mean that you can tone this down without sacrificing the data-rich element. This tactical-style watch face is one of a few that manages to look great on a digital display and still retain a ton of information on screen. High-density watch faces don’t always work on smartwatches as it’s hard to replicate the internal depth of a mechanical watch. While it’s a third-party alternative, it’s a more complete one at that. Then you have the option to combine up to six index styles with even more color combinations than Google’s own iteration. ![]() For starters, it lets you replicate the Pixel Watch on any Wear OS. Here are some of our favourite “Traditional” watch faces for the Pixel Watch: ShapesĮxpanding upon the default “Shapes” face, this third party option is arguably better in just about every way. In a lot of cases, a second-hand is thrown in too. They come in various styles, but you’ll get at least a minute hand and an hour hand. You’d often associate classic or traditional watch faces with mechanical watches or the type your dad or grandparents might have worn. Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be an equivalent available for Wear OS on the Play Store as yet. That’s flanked by up to four complications which are reminiscent of unread notification icons. It’s admittedly basic but feels like an extension of the large lock double-line clock that the Pixel uses on the Always-on display. Probably the closest default watch face to that of the Pixel lock screen that you can use with Pixel Watch is the Index design. You can try this on other Wear OS watches as there is an unofficial version available for free on the Play Store. However, this changes the look quite drastically. This style of design simply wouldn’t work on square screens. It’s not information-dense, but it looks sublime as each section turns independently. To be honest, I’m absolutely fine with that as this is the signature Pixel Watch watch face. I’m personally of the opinion that Google straight-up used the Ressence Type 3 for reference when designing the “Concentric” watch face. Not all are perfect, but here’s a few of our favorites: Concentric That’s certainly true with the default Pixel Watch face selection as there’s a solid set of options right out of the box. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” goes the saying. Thanks to Casetify for sponsoring 9to5Google on YouTube! Default Pixel Watch watch faces ![]() The object that will be received will be the instance of the ‘Model’ and all the database fields that are available will be made available as attributes as that of the class. With the help of the ‘find’ method as seen in the above image when the user retrieves information, the user is bound to get an object if the record actually exists in the database. ‘Where’ uses the ‘get’ method in which you will get more than a single result as it does deep searching and responds with many similar kinds of data in response. Unlike ‘Where’ that helps you to get any valid database field, find is using only the primary key that is registered by default in the system to retrieve single data from the database. In the above image, id is ‘1’ and is having data records to be retrieved of the ‘kids’ section with the description as ‘items that are meant for kids’, The other details of time are represented as ‘null’ which means they are not available in the database with the help of Laravel Find. The above example will help us to understand the working of Laravel Find better. It also works on all supported database systems. Most of the database operations can be performed in the application that is customized and prepared. It also gives an interface to create and run the queries of the database. The query builder that is available in Laravel provides a lot of conveniences. This misunderstanding needs to be clarified in priority. One thing that any user will have to note is that Laravel find is not a query builder as it may look to be. Laravel Find is used to retrieve data with the help of primary keys that are available in Laravel. Most of the data in Laravel are auto-generated and they are self-coded as Laravel PHP helps in getting applications and websites ready faster with a lot of automated properties. With a load of too much data, it becomes difficult or even time-consuming to manually hunt for a specific set of records to work on. Laravel find is capable of retrieving data from the database for the user when the user needs to obtain a concerned set of data from a larger database. The results that are obtained with the help of the ‘find’ method are always limited to the record that is available and the object is returned in the form of a result. The SQL statement that is equivalent is the ‘SELECT FROM categories in which the WHEREid = 1 LIMIT 1. ‘Find’ method makes use of the primary key id that generally works by filtering for any particular record with the simple id value of 1. ![]() $c->find (1) works by calling the ‘find’ method on the user’s instance variable, which is $c which helps in returning a single record for the user. Laravel also expects the id to be an integer if you are using something other than an integer (such as a string) you need to set the incrementing property on your model to false. If you have something set up like protected $primaryKey = foo_id the find() function will go through foo_id instead of id. ![]() If you have none set, it’s going to assume id. The find() method finds the Model by its $primaryKey property. When there is a need to retrieve any record with the help of the primary key use this code: $user = User::find (1) Web development, programming languages, Software testing & others She is a beauty queen, but he is the average town boy with a suitcase of dreams. but she does not accept! Everyone around thinks he is not good enough for her. There are planes, cars, trains to link him to her, if that aint enough he wants to walk to her on his feet no matter how many miles.

It in some way says that the singer is away from the girl and he is not feeling good about it, but the girl is ok with it. asking her whats it like to be away thousands of miles away from him. The singer here is describing his beautiful lover. The line " I can promise you that by the time we are through the world will never be the same and your to blame" saying that by staying with him we can prove our friends wrong and the world will change their looks and beliefs on love and she would be to blame because she made the choice of staying with him proving everyone's doubts wrong.īy him saying be good and don't you miss me he is saying that don't miss him because she will always have his heart.

The flight crew positive cases were among 27 people who had tested positive since hotel quarantine resumed on 7 December. Neville said this was a much higher positive rate than among returned travellers. Meanwhile, Victoria’s police minister, Lisa Neville, called on all states to test and quarantine flight crew from international flights, after eight of the last 1,000 flight crew to come through Victoria in the past two weeks tested positive for Covid-19. And that of course gives us a very good chance of containing this cluster as we move along.”Īt the moment 900 primary close contacts and 400 secondary close contacts were isolating. “It’s exceptionally positive that every single day that we’ve been talking about the Black Rock cluster, any new positives identified within people who have already been asked to isolate and quarantine for 14 days. “It is positive to see that all the cases that we’ve identified in the Black Rock cluster have all been in the primary close contacts,” Weimar said. Health authorities expressed optimism that the outbreak, which now totalled 27 cases, had not spread beyond the restaurant.Īlthough there were a number of other exposure sites listed by the Department of Health and Human Services where people who attended were being asked to get tested and isolate, Jeroen Weimar, the commander of the Covid response in Victoria, said on Tuesday the outbreak had so far been confined to the restaurant, and in home settings. In Victoria, there were three new locally-acquired cases of Covid-19 recorded in the state, all connected to the Black Rock Thai restaurant outbreak. If an officer stops you and you happen to be at the SCG, then you will find yourself receiving a $1,000 fine.”Īmong the list of suburbs to be banned, Rookwood is a cemetery with no living residents. “The SCG have asked you not to come, but it will be backed in. “If you live in Auburn, Berala, Lidcombe North, Regents Park or Rookwood, we would love you at the Test in a non-Covid year, but we can’t ,” he said. The NSW health minister, Brad Hazzard, also announced people in Berala and the surrounding suburbs would be fined $1,000 if they attended the upcoming cricket Test at the SCG, which has been limited to 25% capacity. The other new cases included a man in his 50s who visited the BWS at Berala on 24 December and a woman in her 40s who visited the Woolworths at Berala, but not the bottle shop.Ĭhant said this meant the NSW Health team was now concerned about transmission occurring at the Woolworths next to the BWS, which was now also listed as an exposure site over the Christmas and New Year period.

Whether running through XSplit native or through OBS/TriDef, the Stargazer was more consistent at recognizing the edges of an object, quicker to do so, and quicker to notice if something moved in front of the camera (i.e., if I moved my hand towards the screen, it would recognize that my hand was part of the foreground much quicker than the C922/Personify, which sometimes would black out my hand over my face). Not only is the Stargazer better in still frames, it’s also faster. It’s an issue that’s plagued software-side background removal since its inception. Even in optimal, well-lit scenarios, the C922 has a tendency to clip off hair in interesting ways, or shave off part of my face as I turn sideways. It simply looks for what it thinks is a human in the foreground, then removes everything else…with varying results. The C922 uses Personify’s “Intelligent Shape Recognition” instead. The Stargazer is able to determine how close something is to the camera, and uses this information to help it filter out whatever’s in the background. As I mentioned earlier, the Stargazer relies on Intel’s RealSense tech-including its depth-perception capabilities. It’s worth noting up front this is still a software solution. ![]() You could accomplish this with the C920 in software (via TriDef SmartCam for instance) but the C922 comes loaded with Personify ChromaCam. ![]() Which brings us to the C922’s other primary feature-background removal, sans green screen. Even 720p should be more than satisfactory for that. The webcam industry hasn’t kept pace with the smartphone industry in this regard.Īnd let’s be honest: Most people willing to spend $100 on a webcam are producing content for Twitch and YouTube, and in that case the C922’s primary job is to pump out a 200×200 pixel inset of a user’s face in the bottom-right corner of the screen. But Logitech’s hardly alone-the Stargazer tops out at 1080p. Could Logitech have pushed further? Is it weird that we still don’t have consumer-oriented webcams that capture greater than 1080p video? Maybe. If you’re buying a webcam for Skype/Hangouts/etc, then the C922 is really the best option. Here’s the C922 in optimal conditions, again versus the Stargazer: Great low-light performance is, of course, accompanied by the same great fully lit image. 720p streaming at 60 frames per second, for instance-a definite upgrade. Logitech’s touted all sorts of features in the lead-up to the C922. While Razer’s option is a bit stiff and unwieldy, I’m at least not worried about it breaking. This state of affairs feels particularly egregious in light of the thick, fabric-sheathed, and detachable cable that ships with Razer’s Stargazer. It’s not easily replaceable, it’s thin, it’s rubber-coated, and I’m perpetually worried I might pinch it or crimp it and render the camera unusable. If there’s anything I wish Logitech had upgraded in the last four years, it’s the flimsy rubber cable connecting the camera to the PC. You’d have better results setting it on a shelf or maybe on top of a tall computer speaker, provided you’ve got that sort of setup. ![]() It’s of decent enough quality, but resting it on my desk didn’t make for a very flattering camera angle-mostly my chin and nostrils. Your other option is to mount the C922 on a tripod-preferably a real one, though if you purchase through Best Buy, Logitech actually includes a miniature tripod, which unfolds and telescopes to about seven inches tall. The lip on the C922 is slightly longer than the Stargazer’s, so those with an ultra-thin monitor bezel might be annoyed to find that the lip hangs in front of the screen a bit. This also extends to the mount-the same L-shaped lip/joint used by the C920, with the bulk hanging down onto the rear of the monitor. These equations help to relate functions to their derivatives. There are two types of differential calculus equations - ordinary and partial differential equations.Constant rule, difference rule, sum rule, power rule, etc., are the various rules of differential calculus.Differential calculus involves the use of derivatives to determine the rate of change in a dependent variable with respect to an independent variable.Important Notes on Differential Calculus: Differentiation and Integration Formulas.Graphic artists use differential calculus to see how a model behaves under conditions that change rapidly. ![]() In mechanics, velocity and acceleration can be derived from the position function using differential calculus.In Biology, differential calculus is used to determine how the population of predators and prey evolves over time.In finance, differential calculus is used in portfolio optimization to choose the best stocks. ![]() Most quantitative fields use differential calculus such as complex analysis, functional analysis, abstract algebra, and differential geometry. There are wide-ranging differential calculus applications. Integral calculus is used to find areas, volumes, and central points. Integration sums up infinitesimal pieces to get the total area under a curve.ĭifferential calculus is used to determine if a function is increasing or decreasing. Intuitively, differentiation is the process of dividing something into smaller parts to track changes. Integrals are also known as antiderivatives. Integral calculus uses integrals to determine the area under a curve. In differential calculus, derivatives are used to determine the instantaneous rate of change of a function. The main points of difference between differential calculus and integral calculus are listed in the table given below: Differential Calculus Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. Let the domain be = y\)ĭifferential Calculus vs Integral Calculusĭifferential calculus uses differentiation to find the derivative of a function while integral calculus uses integration to find the integral of a function. In other words, the value of a dependent variable is determined by an independent variable.ĭomain and Range - In differential calculus, the domain can be defined as the list of all input values while the range is all the output values that are obtained after applying the inputs to a function. The value of this variable changes with respect to a change in the dependent variable. ![]() In a mathematical model, the variable that gets manipulated is the independent variable.ĭependent variable - The variable in a function that represents the output is known as the dependent variable. ![]() Independent variable - In a function, the variable that acts as the input is known as the independent variable. Here, x (input) is the independent variable, and y (output) is the dependent variable. Some important terms associated with differential calculus are listed below:įunction - A function is defined as a binary relation where each input is mapped to exactly one output. If y = f(x) is the function that is differentiated then, according to differential calculus, the notation is given as f'(x) = dy / dx. For example, the speed of a moving object can be interpreted as the rate of change of distance with respect to time. Differential calculus is the study of the rate of change of a dependent quantity with respect to a change in an independent quantity. |
