![]() Often the “new” piece was painted in different colors, and the set includes different pieces than the original.įor this reason, there are times when an engine or building shows more than one product ID on its bottom. ![]() There are several instances where the designers to an existing vehicle or building and repurposed it in a new set. There are a few consecutive runs, but usually there are large gaps from one ID to the next. The range of IDs spans from B1836 for the first Tracktown Railway set released in 2003 through X3413 for the Cars 2 World Grand Prix Gift Set of 2011 (as far as I know). Not every possible letter-number combination in between was used for GeoTrax sets. The product ID is stamped in rather small type – small enough that grandparents like me often need a magnifying glass to read it, especially if the lighting in the room is low. ![]() I’m not sure what those characters are for, but they are not the product ID. Many GeoTrax pieces also include a string of characters that end in “CK”. What Does a GeoTrax Product ID Look Like?Įach product ID is made of 5 characters which consists of an initial (upper case) letter followed by 4 numbers. If there is no such vehicle, in which case the main feature of the set if probably a building or other large structure, then look for the ID underneath that main structure. If the set has an engine or other type of “lead” (rhymes with “feed”) vehicle, then you should be able to find the ID on the underside of that vehicle. The location of this ID varies depending on the type of set. With the exception of the track sets, every GeoTrax set has a 5-character ID. You may own a used set that you found at a yard sale, or a thrift store, or bought online. If it didn’t come with its original packaging, there’s no obvious way of telling what the name of the set it, just by looking at the pieces.įortunately, there is a way to identify the set precisely, if you know where to look. And that’s what I’m going to describe for you here. There were discontinued by Fisher-Price back in 2011. That’s a very possible, even probable, situation to be in because most GeoTrax sets are in used condition these days. Have you ever owned or found a GeoTrax set and wondered what it was called? Have you pondered how to identify the original name given by the designers when they created it?

Inside the customization menu, select the “Banners” tab, then interact with one of the Tracker tabs near the bottom. Inside the Legends tab, select the Legend you use the most and open the customization menu. ![]() To view your stats in Apex Legends, you’ll need to select the “Legends” tab from the home screen. How to View and Change Stats Trackers in Apex Legends In the future maybe Respawn Entertainment could add a simple method of tracking overall statistics, but until then the best way is to observe the individual statistics of each Legend played and calculate the total value manually. To avoid this problem, many players will choose only one Legend as the main character to keep all their statistics stable, such as total kills. These statistics do not transfer from character to character, meaning that a character’s stats will not be displayed with a different character. Players can only keep track of individual statistics for each Legend they have used. ![]() How to Track Your Stats in Apex LegendsĪs explained above, Apex Legends does not have an immediate and straightforward way to track your statistics as a classic ranking or a detailed player profile. ![]() At the moment the game uses only trackers for each Legend.įor example, if you earn 30 kills with Lifeline, you will not be able to view the kills earned with a different character at the same time.Īre you confused? Do not worry we have prepared a guide for you on how to monitor your statistics on Apex Legends. Apex Legends does not currently offer a full ranking feature where you can compare the total stats with the statistics of the other players. Apex Legends has been released for a few days, and despite being very intuitive and immediate, many players have wondered if and how you can track their statistics as kills earned and some games won. The book “Dune” is a dense, complex, and multi-layered work of art and it’s clear Villeneuve realized how much heavy lifting he’d have to do to do it justice. ![]() The wind-swept sands of Arrakis deserve the IMAX screen I saw them on as do the glorious killer sandworms. ![]() Not only does Villeneuve make all of the planetary intricacies abundantly clear, he presents his vision with such precision and flair that for much of the film it may not matter whether anything of consequence is happening. The film also, obviously, has to introduce us to an elaborate cast of characters as well, especially the troubled Paul Atreides who may be the Chosen One (played by Timothee Chalamet), Paul’s mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) and father Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac), the vile Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgard), Stilgar, the leader of the Fremen (Javier Bardem), and the mysterious young Fremen woman named Chani (Zendaya) who haunts Paul’s dreams. (I guess Villeneuve likes the dining metaphor.) Villeneuve recently seems to acknowledge exactly that when he admits “Dune” is just an appetizer and “Dune Part Two” the main meal. This “Dune: Part One” is just getting on its feet when the proverbial rug is pulled out from under the audience. But at least in those trilogies, the first film was a good stand-alone experience. But as of this moment, those future films have yet to be given the green light.Īdmittedly, given the success of the “Lord of the Rings” and “Star Wars” films, Hollywood’s clearly become comfortable doling out epic stories over any number of films. If those films do indeed come to pass, this first film may be judged in the context of its sequels and be given a pass. Banking on the presumed commercial success of this “Dune” film, Villeneuve is reportedly already working on a script for a sequel, and possibly on a third film to make a trilogy that encompasses the first two of the six “Dune” books. ![]() In the long run, this may not matter much to audiences. Maybe you should dig more into cinematography. If this is the case perhaps BM could come up with a one touch fix in resolve. Kyle Gordon wrote:Mark Im not an expert, but I think I understand. A 7 bit recording has half as many steps of resolution as a 8 bit recording etc.Īnyway I may be totally off base here, but if it's a tradeoff for image quality, either please dont implement it, or make it a user define-able choice please! Losing one stop or bit HALVES the total number of quanta for expressing the variation in the image. Im not an expert, but i think each "stop" is like a bit in digital information. ![]() I don't really like any skin tones Im seeing with the 4k camera the way i like them on the BMCC 2.5k - and yet there is only supposed to be a stop of difference. I love the way this camera renders an image. I think that to put a hard cap on what comes out of the sensor, so that no channels clip out of proportion to other ones, youd have to lose dynamic range, making the response of the sensor have less bandwidth. I think it has to do with the debayer and the fact that there are 2 green photo sites for each red and blue pair. I think the purplish color of the error isnt random. Mark Im not an expert, but I think I understand. Personally I think they should stop trying to find a perfect global solution and just have the fixes as user switchable options and let us decide if and when we want to use them. Since they have yet to find a reliable way to fix this issue with any false positives they have chose not to implement any of the fixes they have so far. ![]() BM has tried to fix this issue via software but the issue is that it is not perfect and can/does generate false positives, it will fix areas of the image that shouldn't be fixed on occasion. The problem is there is no way to know for sure if these dark pixels are overloaded sensels or just dark sensels. The BMCC doesn't have this feature, I don't know but suspect that the sensor just outputs a 0 or very low value at a sensel when it is overloaded. Don't know any specifics but something to this effect. The pocket had a sensor level fix, meaning there was a feature of the sensor that could detect the black hole and either correct for it automatically or possibly output the data in a way that made it easy to isolate - recording -1 as a brightness value when the sensor is overloaded as a possible example. That's one update I would'nt be chancing till some brave few do it first to test the waters with the colour. It was definitely a while ago.they should say something about it now methinks. ![]() I fully endorse a fix.but if its gonna mess with the image.then I say don't "fix" it. Yeh I fully agree with you that it may be hellish for some people as we all shoot different things. The black sun issue has the potential to be a nightmare for everyone using the camera not Just me so it is in all our interests. That was a while ago now and would like to see some progress on this. Well The last thing I want is for image quality to be affected If I remember correctly it wasn't that image quality WOULD be affected but they had to be careful in making the fix. You'd better learn how to deal with it in post. It hardly ever is a problem for me personally. The it is possible to fix it on the BMCC however at the possible cost of colour science being affected negatively. The pocket has newer tech making it easier to fix.

With its 60 foot range this presentation wireless remote, allows you to go for an enhanced and improved conversation and communication with your audience.

You do not need to be some technocrat to learn its operations, it is a smart technology with extreme user-friendly quality. It works on complete cursor control and has similar competence of the two button style, like that in your mouse. Therefore you do not need to worry if you have to use a different device on the spot.

Of course, if you really need a presentation remote that can do a convincing impression of a slow-moving mouse driven by an Etch-A-Sketch interface, then you may disagree with me on this one. So: Keyspan remote bad, Kensington remote good. I dismissed the dialog box, and it’s worked without a hiccup ever since. The one little quirk I noticed was that the first time I plugged one of these into my PowerBook (running Tiger), the system said I was plugging in a new keyboard. I picked one up at the Apple Store the other night for not much more than it costs at your favorite online discount e-store, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s enough to make me reconsider my whole “one device to rule them all” stance. It’s the iPod of presentation controllers, designed to do one thing and do it very well. It fits easily in the hand, both in terms of size and shape. Even better, the USB receiver slides into a storage slot in the remote itself, and doing so turns the whole thing off, is pure genius. This little baby is simple as anything: largish back and forth keys that map to Page Up and Page Down, a red button for the laser pointer, and a “stop” button that blanks the screen in supporting applications. While I was at IceWeb, I borrowed Molly‘s (or maybe it was Andy‘s) Kensington Pocket Presenter to deliver my talk. ![]() If you don’t interact with the remote for a minute or so, it goes back to default mode, which means it stops doing what it’s supposed to do (advance slides). Sadly, it won’t stay in the alternate mode. It turns out the remote has two “modes”, and the default mode can be only partly reprogrammed. As attendees of An Event Apart can tell you, we had problem after problem with the damn thing, both with the default settings and with the customized configuration I’d set up. It also has the ability to control the mouse pointer, change the audio volume, and more. I picked this particular make and model because I’d used one at Web Essentials 05 and it’s programmable, which always hooks me. ![]() Just before An Event Apart Philadelphia, I went out and bought a Keyspan Presentation Remote. This one will be of interest to the dozen or so of you who regularly give presentations that involve some sort of (Powerpoint, Keynote, S5, whatever) slide show. ![]() They are preparation, invocation, possession, and farewell. There are four phases to a voodoo ritual. The spirit is directly communicating in this way. The second instance is if a person is in a possessed trance then asks the people around them to sing and memorize it. The spirit reveals itself through dreams. The first is if someone has heard the song in a dream. There are only two ways a new song would be added to the voodoo repertoire. Many songs mirror tunes of the Catholic Church, as well as associate the Catholic saints with African deities. Sometimes they’re sung as if the deities were speaking (or singing). Sometimes the songs are sung to the deities. These descriptions include their names, likes and dislikes, origin, responsibilities, strengths, and weaknesses. The descriptions of the deities come out in the songs. Drums later became a prominent feature of Voodoo rituals. However, there were no drums, unless it was part of the weekly public ceremony in Congo Square in New Orleans during slavery times. Songs would be accompanied by patting, clapping and foot-stomping. Singing is among important rituals as part of voodoo worship. Modern Voodoo Rituals Voodoo practitioners gather to perform a modern Voodoo ritual. You might remember her portrayed by Angela Basset on season 3 of American Horror Story Coven. Her influence contributed to the adoption of Catholic practices into the Voodoo belief system. Marie Laveau is remembered for her skill as well as her compassion for the less fortunate. ![]() Also, a Catholic, Laveau encouraged her followers to attend Catholic Mass as a strategic way to protect their true beliefs. John’s Eve in 1874 attracted some 12,000 black and white New Orleanians. Once the news of her powers spread, she dominated the other Voodoo leaders of New Orleans. Her religious rite on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain on St. She was the most eminent and powerful of them all. They had the role of leading many of the ceremonial meetings and ritual dances. They were considered practitioners who made a living through the selling and administering of amulets, charms, and magical powders, as well as spells.Īmong the fifteen “voodoo queens” in neighborhoods scattered around 19th-century New Orleans, Marie Laveau was known as “the” Voodoo Queen. ![]() Voodoo queens were known to exercise great power in their communities. Louisiana Voodoo Queens Portrait of Louisiana Voodoo queen Marie Laveau. This allowed the older slaves to live much longer, which helped to embark wisdom and cultural history upon the people. This openness of African belief allowed for the adoption of Catholic practices into Louisiana Voodoo.Īnother component of Louisiana Voodoo brought from West Africa was the veneration of ancestors as well as the subsequent emphasis on respect for elders. Such as bones, nails, roots, holy water, holy candles, holy incense, holy bread, or crucifixes. The ground-up root was combined with other elements. The Ouanga, a charm used to poison an enemy, contained the toxic roots of the figuier maudit tree, brought from Africa and preserved in Louisiana. With so many African natives populating the city and keeping close ties, they managed to keep a lot of their old-world traditions and culture alive. Their knowledge of herbs, poisons, and the ritual creation of charms and amulets, intended to protect oneself or harm others, became key elements of Louisiana Voodoo. All of the groups were responsible for the development of Louisiana voodoo. Other groups such as the Bambara, Mandinga, Wolof, Ewe, Fulbe, Nard, Mina, Fon (Dahomean), Yoruba (Nago), Chamba, Congo, Ibo, Ado, Hausa, and Sango (Hall) also brought their cultural practices, languages, and religious beliefs rooted in spirit and ancestor worship. Voodoo in Louisiana has its beginnings in the early 1700s. From 1719 to 1731, the majority of African captives brought as slaves to Louisiana were Fon people from what is now Benin. African slaves brought it over during the French colonial period. The roots of Voodoo actually go back to West Africa.
