The second, and the more serious, is to attempt economic and political transformation in an unrealistically short timeframe.” The first may be to allocate insufficient resources to the non-military aspects of the project. Not that realpolitikers have been unprepared for the eventuality Ferguson quotes a Bush administration State Department official who, before Dubya even took office, was urging Americans “to re-conceive their global role from one of traditional nation-state to an imperial power.” Well, there are empires and there are empires, and Ferguson suggests that the best of them is a liberal one, one dedicated to the free international exchange of capital, labor, and goods and to upholding the “conditions without which markets cannot function-peace and order, the rule of law, non-corrupt administration, stable fiscal and monetary policies.” Ideologically, at least, Americans should be well-equipped to administer such an empire, but we remain an empire in denial of the sort that “tends to make two mistakes when it chooses to intervene in the affairs of lesser states. Americans are reluctant to accept this fact for many reasons, although in the post–September 11 climate many more are warming up to the prospect we’re made uncomfortable by being likened to Rome, Britain, and perhaps even the Soviet Union, by the thought that our financial, military, and cultural might casts a Green Giant–like shadow across the planet. Prolific British historian Ferguson (History/New York Univ.), who has been building an empire of his own with books such as Empire (2003), The House of Rothschild (1999), and The Pity of War (1999), argues that the US is an empire in fact, with client states scattered around the world. But, argues the author, it had better gear up to the task. ![]() Is America ready to rule the world? Probably not. ![]()

3/17/2023 0 Comments Maya 2022 python version![]() On the other hand, Maya 2022 also comes with the python-future library installed which uses 2to3 under the hood, but it can convert your code and make it backwards compatible with Python 2 with the futurize script. 2to3 focuses on porting your code to Python 3, but it does not attempt to make it backwards-compatible. Should I use 2to3, futurize, or modernize?Īs mentioned, Python 3 comes with a library called lib2to3 which as the name suggests converts Python 2 code to Python 3. I really recommend reading this blog post in its entirety before getting started to understand what changes are being made and there are a few scenarios that you'll want to consider. You can always go back and clean up your code as time allows and especially as you drop support for Python 2. You can achieve cleaner results with manual conversion, but I know that may not always be desired or practical. My goal with this blog post is to help you convert your code as fast a possible with the least amount of fuss while also showing you some options for maintaining backwards-compatibility with Python 2. Take a look at the 2to3.py documentation which lists the fixes that it applies to get an idea of how big of a difference there is between Python 2 and Python 3. ![]() ![]() Python 3 includes a script called, 2to3.py, which handles automatically converting your code for a lot of the changes that occurred between Python 2 and Python 3. You may only be using a subset of affected libraries and features in your Maya scripts, but you're probably still going to want to avoid making the updates manually. ![]() There are A LOT of changes between Python 2 and Python 3 and Python 3 code is not designed to be backwards-compatible with Python 2. Python 3 is finally here in Maya 2022! If you haven't converted your scripts to Python 3, I'll go over how you can automatically convert your Python 2 scripts and modules to Python 3. ![]() 3/17/2023 0 Comments Cloud backblaze nasdaq 100m ipo![]() ![]() Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Moomoo Financial Singapore Pte.

The processing time is fantastic, and the end results are high quality. The addition of the DeepPRIME tool is great for professional photographers requiring high-level denoising. This improves search functionality but also allows you to assign greater meaning and relevance to your photos. For each image, you can edit the EXIF and IPTC metadata, such as GPS data and author data. We also like the addition of Metadata editing. Previous versions of DxO PhotoLab offered some form of U Point tech, but version 5 adds new selection tools and improves the functionality for enhanced precision when adjusting specific parts of your photos. The U Point technology is a type of precise local adjustments for targeted editing. ![]() ![]() What’s New in DxO Photolab 5?ĭxO PhotoLab 5 contains some important upgrades over PhotoLab 4 that are of genuine benefit, including: For example, people with basic computers may experience some minor performance issues due to the higher system requirements. It is not without its potential drawbacks, however. Overall, PhotoLab 5 is a great program to use and will appeal to many different users. This includes adding ratings, assigning keywords, and simple folder management. While it may not have the advanced collection and database management features of other programs, you can use it to effectively manage and organize your images. Compared to other post-processing software, PhotoLab 5 is no slouch it is easily on par with programs like Lightroom, Luminar 4, and ON1 Photo RAW.ĭxO PhotoLab 5 also excels at photo management. You can completely edit RAW photos using an array of standard and local adjustment tools. Being a relatively ruthless culler makes it easy.DxO PhotoLab 5 is a full-fledged photo editing and photo management software. Yes I'm a DAM Luddite but the idea of software controlling my image file manipulation is not for me. I personally create a project folder for each shoot.download separate JPEG and RAW sub-folders under the main project.and after culling and edits final output into the project folder. It's supposedly improved.but I was happy with the existing easy folder-based structure keeping me in control. **Edit**I have not done much with the DAM. Fair 's the Elite version and if you like it the Elite price point is high but you 'll want it anyway! Filmpack is good too.I like the Selenium b+w along with other emulated film presets.gives me back some of the Fuji looks K prefer.ĭefinitely do the demo first. Viewpoint is excellent.the corrections for certain perspectives work really well without off distortion effects.

This approach has the benefit of allowing you to actually inspect the final emails in Mailtrap's message viewer. For more information on configuring your application per environment, check out the configuration documentation.Īlternatively, you may use a service like HELO or Mailtrap and the smtp driver to send your email messages to a "dummy" mailbox where you may view them in a true email client. Typically, this driver would only be used during local development. Instead of sending your emails, the log mail driver will write all email messages to your log files for inspection. Laravel provides several ways to "disable" the actual sending of emails during local development. When developing an application that sends email, you probably don't want to actually send emails to live email addresses. To learn how to test that mailables were sent, check out our documentation on the Mail fake. We suggest testing the content of your mailables separately from your tests that assert that a given mailable was "sent" to a specific user. Once you have specified your recipients, you may pass an instance of your mailable class to the send method: If you pass an object or collection of objects, the mailer will automatically use their email and name properties when determining the email's recipients, so make sure these attributes are available on your objects. The to method accepts an email address, a user instance, or a collection of users. To send a message, use the to method on the Mail facade. To customize the theme for an individual mailable, you may set the $theme property of the mailable class to the name of the theme that should be used when sending that mailable. After naming and saving your CSS file, update the theme option of your application's config/mail.php configuration file to match the name of your new theme. If you would like to build an entirely new theme for Laravel's Markdown components, you may place a CSS file within the html/themes directory. You may customize the CSS in this file and your styles will automatically be converted to inline CSS styles within the HTML representations of your Markdown mail messages. You are free to customize these components however you like.Īfter exporting the components, the resources/views/vendor/mail/html/themes directory will contain a default.css file. The mail directory will contain an html and a text directory, each containing their respective representations of every available component. This command will publish the Markdown mail components to the resources/views/vendor/mail directory. Php artisan vendor:publish -tag=laravel-mail To use the Mailgun driver, install Symfony's Mailgun Mailer transport via Composer: Whenever possible, we recommend that you use one of these drivers. The API based drivers such as Mailgun and Postmark are often simpler and faster than sending mail via SMTP servers. This array contains a sample configuration entry for each of the major mail drivers / transports supported by Laravel, while the default configuration value determines which mailer will be used by default when your application needs to send an email message. Within your mail configuration file, you will find a mailers configuration array. For example, your application might use Postmark to send transactional emails while using Amazon SES to send bulk emails. Each mailer configured within this file may have its own unique configuration and even its own unique "transport", allowing your application to use different email services to send certain email messages. Laravel's email services may be configured via your application's config/mail.php configuration file. ![]() Laravel and Symfony Mailer provide drivers for sending email via SMTP, Mailgun, Postmark, Amazon SES, and sendmail, allowing you to quickly get started sending mail through a local or cloud based service of your choice. Laravel provides a clean, simple email API powered by the popular Symfony Mailer component. Sending email doesn't have to be complicated. ![]() 3/17/2023 0 Comments Emby vs plex![]() ![]() Emby supports more but with Jellyfin, you have the option to build directly from the source code. You can install the Jellyfin server on about 12 different operating systems. ![]() The platform welcomes more developers to add and improve its features. Jellyfin is open-source so you can customize it to meet your interests. You can migrate data from Emby to Jellyfin using API scripts. Similar to Emby, Jellyfin will only display media you own.

This includes movies, TV Shows, music, Live TV, and DVR. ![]() With Jellyfin, you can stream media files from your server to any connected device. It’s a relatively new platform but very reliable thanks to the skilled developers working on it. It was built as the open-source version of the platform and it’s available for free.

The major devices supported include Windows, Android, Linux, Raspberry, and iOS. Like Emby, you can install Kodi on just about any device. You can watch live shows and record with Kodi with an add-on. As an open-source platform, Kodi add-ons are also customizable. There are about 1,000 official add-ons in the catalog and more are added daily. Emby has native support for add-ons/plugins but the Kodi catalog has more add-ons than Emby’s. However, you can point Kodi to a third-party online service.Īnother advantage of Kodi is add-ons. Kodi and Emby will only work with your content they don’t provide any media for you. With Kodi, you can play these files from a local and network media storage or over the internet. Media files you can manage with Kodi include music, movies, images, etc. Unlike Emby, Kodi is 100 percent free and open-source which is its main advantage over Emby. KodiĪt number two on this list of 15 best Emby alternatives, we have Kodi, formerly known as XBMC. Plex is well ahead of most of its alternatives, both in terms of features and performance. Both Plex and Emby apps support major devices including Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Roku, Amazon Alexa, Xbox, and PlayStation to name a few. Plex will sort and organize the files automatically and intuitively.Īfterward, download the Plex app on any supported device to stream content. This can be on your computer or an external hard drive. All you have to do is to point the server to where you store your media files. This Emby alternative is free and easy to use. You also have access to more than 130 Live TV channels. This includes more than 20,000 free on-demand videos from MGM, Liongate, Crackle, and Warner Bros. You can stream content from different content providers with Plex.

It’s quite similar to Emby but a lot more flexible. Plex lets you watch your movies and TV shows from anywhere. ![]() 3/17/2023 0 Comments Ign review sherlock![]() ![]() ![]() As Holmes progressively regains his suppressed memories, his companion Jon is revealed to be an imaginary friend known only to Holmes brothers and communicable only to the younger Sherlock. Mycroft, using his contacts and influence, conducts a background check on the doctor but the search reveals little of use other than academic credentials and an estranged brother named Klaus.Īfter Sherlock unlocks his mother's private museum of debunked, bizarre artefacts, he recalls an incident whereby Otto Richter is harshly berated by Mycroft, who later appears to have testified against the doctor on grounds of the latter's medical malpractice. A resident physician, a Swiss doctor named Otto Richter oversees Violet's therapy and employs a controversial and experimental approach by immersing Violet in the original conditions that led to her breakdown. Tracing a former family friend, who is recently murdered, Holmes begins to piece together events through his patchy childhood memories and figures out that Violet was not, contrary to his brother Mycroft's assertion, suffering from tuberculosis but was in fact stricken with severe mental distress following the death of her husband Siger. Previously assuming the cause of death to be tuberculosis, Holmes begins to investigate loose ends regarding the case. Settling in his family's former residence, the dilapidated Stonewood Manor, Holmes encounters the eccentric gallerist Verner Vogel, who insinuates that Violet Holmes' demise may have undisclosed details. ![]() In 1875, ten years after the passing of his mother, Violet Holmes, 21-year-old Sherlock Holmes returns to the island of Cordona alongside his companion Jon. While investigating, Holmes must also reacquaint himself with his old friend, the enigmatic Jonathan (called "Jon"), who is described as "definitely not Watson". There, Holmes uncovers a sinister conspiracy lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic town where corruption and crime are rampant, and the locals shun outsiders. Following the death of his mother, Violet, the young detective returns to his childhood home on the Mediterranean island of Cordona. The plot follows a 21-year-old Sherlock Holmes at the beginning of his career as a "consulting detective". ![]() 3/17/2023 0 Comments Pcdj dex 3 public beta![]() This music mixer software gives you all the tools you need to mix, enhance and output sound tracks with advanced results.

A flat bottom, flexible bristles, and low center of gravity meant that the broom would balance every day of the year, facing any direction. All the revelers were amazed, though a few of the more scientifically disposed among them postulated that perhaps the broom was standing simply because it followed the laws of physics. ![]() I took the magic broom and set it up-facing north, of course– in the middle of the party room. George and I were invited to a cookout to celebrate the summer solstice. Yes! Mother’s Day and Father’s Day? Right on. But maybe the trick would work at other special times. It remained upright for four days, when the cutest dog in the whole world charged into the kitchen and knocked it over. Not that blisters could ever happen with my new broom, because I don’t actually sweep with it. It’s a straw broom with a sturdy wooden handle that has a padded rubber handgrip to prevent blisters. I found the perfect one at the perfect price. There was nothing to be done but go shopping for a brand new broom. The outside broom is pitifully worn and misshapen. Probably, I soon deduced, because my inside broom has soft nylon bristles cut on a slant. ![]() We tiptoed carefully around it on our way out the door, each of us eager to get home and try the trick with our own brooms. A broom was really and truly standing up all by itself. This was no optical illusion, no photo shopped gimmick. Sure enough, after just a couple of attempts our hostess had the broom standing on its own. “LET’S TRY IT!!!” the rest of us said in unison. The flat part of the broom has to be facing north for the trick to work.” “It’s because of the way Venus and Jupiter are lined up right now. “It’s not because of the equinox,” said another. ![]() One neighborhood has a broom standing in almost every driveway.” “People all over Livingston are doing it. “Hey,” she said, “have any of you heard the rumor that a broom will stand by itself this time of year? It has something to do with the days being exactly as long as the nights.” The hostess was retrieving guests’ coats from the hall closet when she noticed her broom hanging on a nail. I first witnessed the broom trick myself right here in Cookeville after a book discussion luncheon. It wasn’t long before a local television station reported the story. Naturally, she began taking photos with her cell phone. But instead of the broom leaning against the wall or falling to the floor, it stood straight up–all by itself. It seems that a woman in Prattville, Alabama was sweeping one day and set her broom down to go do something else. I first learned about the “magic broom trick” on Facebook. That’s when I discovered the phenomenon that continues to amaze and delight people of all ages. I went through this same experience in March, around the time of the vernal equinox. And though it’s a bother to walk around it, at least it gives me a good excuse not to mop. As I write this, a broom stands upright in the middle of my kitchen floor. ![]() |
