![]() It would be very interesting to see how a story that puts so much control in the hands of players translates to a film that is only able to provide one path of the narrative. We can’t wait to see what we make together.”Īnyone who has played Firewatch is well-aware that the game has a fantastic story full of branching dialogue trees and options. It’s rare you meet another group that shares so many of your values and makes the process of creating things even more exciting. “When we met Good Universe we were floored by how they recognise, cultivate and produce incredible stories. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the team at Campo Santo is teaming up with Good Universe to produce a film adaptation of Firewatch.Ĭampo Santo’s Sean Vanaman discusses the partnership. Thanks to strong sales, it seems like Firewatch is also about to become a cross-media franchise. Game Rant was a big fan of the game ( read our review here) and isn't surprised at all to see sales staying steady thanks to positive reviews and strong word of mouth. With the first wave of Xbox One Firewatch sales factored in, the game recently passed the one million sales milestone. The short, first-person game is full of beautiful landscapes and a compelling, mysterious narrative and gamers have really connected with the indie title.įirewatch launched a few months back on PC and PS4 and the game has now made its way to Microsoft's console, as well. ![]() ![]() Campo Santo's Firewatch passes the one million units sold mark thanks to a delayed Xbox One release and the game may now have a film adaptation on the way.Īlthough 2016 is full of amazing AAA games like Uncharted 4 and The Division, don't be surprised to find Campo Santo's little walking simulator Firewatch near the top of many game of the year lists in December.

You can independently adjust a range of settings to make things perfect.Select your own mask with a series of vertices faster than ever.Ĭhoose from an array of mask templates in Mask Designer, now including linear and parallel.Įasily transfer your audio and video timelines between AudioDirector and PowerDirector. In general, PowerDirector 20 and 365 make it much easier to fix color and lighting. PowerDirector has an entire section dedicated to Fix/Enhance options that include audio noise reduction tools and buttons to enhance sharpness and color. This is a real upgrade from previous versions, as this is the method preferred by professional editors. This feature allows you to trim and cut clips before you insert them into your timeline. One of the best features of PowerDirector is the Precut tool. There’s also a Trim Tool, which has a range down to an individual frame, and a multi-trim tool that allows you to place several in and out marks on your timeline. Using the Insert option helps you to line things up with ease. If you drag any clip to the end of your timeline, it will automatically snap to the previous clip for simple viewing.ĭragging a clip to the middle of the timeline brings up a tooltip box with options to Crossfade, Insert, Insert and Move All Clips, Overwrite, or replace. Naturally, you’re able to join, trim, and cut clips directly in the timeline. Using CyberLink PowerDirector to edit videos is a breeze with all the features included in this category. Tagging features are a huge plus when you’ve got a lot of clips to work with on a project. Last, in editing mode, they’ve added features that allow you to better organize your media for easy drop-and-drag into either the timeline or source panel. This also allows you to narrow the search to only audio, video, or photos.Īlso, you can customize your timeline for easy navigation, and it comes with a quick-add button for inserting new tracks – up to 100. There is also a search function to find media easily. In Storyboard mode, users can insert effects, audio clips, and transitions, all without going back into a timeline view. Within the interface, you can double your preview windows to see both the source video and the edited version, which can be a huge timesaver for switching between windows. ![]() But if you want to disable these options and go straight to Full Mode every time, there’s a checkbox to eliminate the selections.įrom this screen, you also select your aspect ratios – they cover everything from standard 16:9 and cinematic 21:9 to other social media and mobile-friendly ratios. ![]() When you first open the program, the interface gives you choices for editing modes, including Storyboard Mode, Full Mode, Slideshow creator, Auto Mode, and learning Center. For example, the Capture mode is now a menu option instead of on the main screen as it isn’t being used as much as some other features. The company is consistently updating the interface and rearranging things to make it easier to use. And while PowerDirector may not rank as high in simplicity as something like Adobe Premiere Elements or iMovie, it’s definitely neat and tidy. It’s difficult for any program to provide a comprehensive set of tools in a cohesive manner and without clutter. And PowerDirector 20 and 365 continue this tradition. One of the highlighted features from Cyberlink PowerDirector 18 Ultra and Cyberlink PowerDirector 19 Ultra was the software’s intuitive interface. ![]() The coding identification of the outer locator consists of the first two letters of the three-letter identifier of the associated LOC. When used in conjunction with an ILS front course, the compass locator facilities are collocated with the outer and/or MM facilities. Compass locators are low-powered NDBs and are received and indicated by the ADF receiver. The back-course marker, where installed, indicates the back-course FAF. It indicates the point at which an aircraft is at the decision height on the glide path during a Category II ILS approach. The inner marker (IM), where installed, is located on the front course between the MM and the landing threshold. The OM is located on the localizer front course 4 to 7 miles from the airport to indicate a position at which an aircraft, at the appropriate altitude on the localizer course, will intercept the glide path The MM is located approximately 3,500 feet from the landing threshold on the centerline of the localizer front course at a position where the glide-slope centerline is about 200 feet above the touchdown zone elevation.A marker beacon may also be installed to indicate the FAF on the ILS back course. A third beacon, the inner, is used where Category II operations are certified. Two VHF marker beacons, outer and middle, are normally used in the ILS system. At 10 NM from the point of touchdown, this represents a vertical distance of approximately 1,500 feet, narrowing to a few feet at touchdown. The system provides no vertical guidance for approaches on the back course. Unlike the localizer, the glide-slope transmitter radiates signals only in the direction of the final approach on the front course. ![]() At locations where standard minimum obstruction clearance cannot be obtained with the normal maximum glide-slope angle, the glide-slope equipment is displaced farther from the approach end of the runway if the length of the runway permits or, the glideslope angle may be increased up to 4°. The glide-slope projection angle is normally adjusted to 2.5° to 3.5° above horizontal, so it intersects the MM at about 200 feet and the OM at about 1,400 feet above the runway elevation. The course projected by the glide-slope equipment is essentially the same as would be generated by a localizer operating on its side.The glide-slope equipment is housed in a building approximately 750 to 1,250 feet down the runway from the approach end of the runway, and between 400 and 600 feet to one side of the centerline.The glide path is the straight, sloped line the aircraft should fly in its descent from where the glide slope intersects the altitude used for approaching the FAF, to the runway touchdown zone. Glide slope (GS) describes the systems that generate, receive, and indicate the ground facility radiation pattern. With no more than one-quarter scale deflection maintained, the aircraft will be aligned with the runway. This sensitivity permits accurate orientation to the landing runway. With this course width, a full-scale deflection shows when the aircraft is 2.5° to either side of the centerline. The localizer course is very narrow, normally 5°.The localizer provides course guidance, transmitted at 108.1 to 111.95 MHz (odd tenths only), throughout the descent path to the runway threshold from a distance of 18 NM from the antenna to an altitude of 4,500 feet above the elevation of the antenna site. These are called the front and back courses, respectively. This unit radiates a field pattern, which develops a course down the centerline of the runway toward the middle markers (MMs) and outer markers (OMs), and a similar course along the runway centerline in the opposite direction. The localizer (LOC) ground antenna array is located on the extended centerline of the instrument runway of an airport, remote enough from the opposite (approach) end of the runway to prevent it from being a collision hazard. ![]() Many companies fail to back up their claims of reversing the forward march of time, and some products wind up irritating the skin and making it more vulnerable to the elements, not less. “Youth is the ultimate goal, and obviously very convenient for the industry, because it’s an impossible goal.”ĭermatologists say that a lot of this stuff is a scam anyway and doesn’t work. “Anti-aging is probably the most popular and lasting promise of any sort of skin care brand or injectable,” said Jessica DeFino, a beauty writer and author of The Unpublishable, a newsletter focused on the darker sides of the beauty industry. The global anti-aging market went from $25 billion to nearly $37 billion during the same period. ![]() According to data from Euromonitor International, the anti-aging market grew from $3.9 billion in 2016 to $4.9 billion in 2021 in the United States alone. This fuels a multibillion-dollar cosmetic and skin care industry dedicated to helping people - mainly women - stay young, or rather, try to look like it.

All of the panelists acknowledged at least the temptation to get some work done, and the conundrum that you’re “shamed if you do, shamed if you don’t,” as Porizkova put it. Christie Brinkley mentioned a specific wrinkle that bothers her multiple times and the steps she’s taken to minimize it. But some mild discomfort with the premise was evident. The takeaway of the panel, hosted by the Aspen Institute, was supposed to be that women should demand to be seen, regardless of how old they are, and that society needs to accept all versions of beauty, no matter someone’s birth date. “How are you going to be anti-living?” she asked. The discussion’s moderator, Allure editor-in-chief Jessica Cruel, brought up the magazine’s much-publicized decision five years ago to axe the term “anti-aging” from its pages. Model Yasmin Warsame spoke about how aging is treated as a sign of wisdom in her birth country of Somalia. “We need representation of spring, summer, fall, and winter,” one of the panelists, Swedish model Paulina Porizkova, declared. This entry was posted in Actresses on Maby admin.In late June, I sat in on a conversation featuring three models, all over the age of 50, about aging and beauty. Yasmine posed for FHM, Maxim, and other magazines, wearing usually only lingerie or swimwear. Her perfect bikini body and large natural bra size made her a popular choice for men’s magazine photo shoots. ![]() Her by far most famous role is Caroline Holden in Baywatch. Bleeth was named one of 50 Most Beautiful People by People Magazine in 1995. She has German, French, Russian, and Algerian ancestry. Check out also measurements Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, and Brooke Burns. She showed her perfect measurements and flat toned belly when she posed for FHM magazine cover in 1996. Bleeth wears 34C bra size and weighs 125 pounds. Yet her figure has an attractive hourglass body shape. Unlike most start on this show, Bleeth has natural breasts, not implants or other type of surgical augmentation. Yasmine Bleeth is a beautiful actress famous as Caroline Holden from Baywatch. ![]() Thankfully you don’t need to just read about the game to decide if you want to play it. A mysterious storm called the Anomaly burnt out all the tech that’s more advanced than a lightbulb, hyper-evolved the wildlife into ferocious monsters, and colonization efforts broke down into a bitter war of attrition for the last remaining resources available to humanity,” writes Megan Spurr, Community Lead, Xbox Game Pass.

![]() It has become a local model for law enforcement. The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office has become one of the most technologically savvy in the state, which is nationally recognized for its organization, communication, and crime fighting expertise. Sheriff Jeff Wiley, who was first elected to the position of sheriff in 1996, is currently serving his fifth term as the Sheriff of Ascension Parish. ![]() In 2008, the jail conducted its second expansion project, resulting in a capacity in 572 offenders. The jail was accredited by the American Correctional Association in 2003. The jail was expanded, a project completed in 1989, and that increased the capacity of the jail to 192 offenders. The first jail built on the site of the current jail was occupied in 1976. The fifth jail, which continues to existence today as the “old jail” was built in 1867, and once served as both the courthouse and the jail until 1976. However, it was destroyed during the bombing of Donaldsonville during the Civil War. The police jury planned the fourth jail, which ended up being the parish’s first brick jail. The third jail was built in the same location and used for detention facilities until it was condemned in 1850. The second jail was built in 1810, also on land donated by William Donaldson. The first Ascension Parish Jail was built in 1806 on property donated by William Donaldson, the founder of Donaldsonville. For reference, we are providing the maximum known deep learning performance at any precision if there is no TensorFLOPS value. Tensor Cores are only available on “Volta” GPUs or newer.

However, it’s wise to keep in mind the differences between the products. The consumer line of GeForce and RTX Consumer GPUs may be attractive to some running GPU-accelerated applications. All NVIDIA GPUs support general purpose computation (GPGPU), but not all GPUs offer the same performance or support the same features. This resource was prepared by Microway from data provided by NVIDIA and trusted media sources. ![]() I received barely any response from influencers I reached out to early on. I had previously conducted plenty of outreach to third-tier influencers before coming to the conclusion that our strategy needed to change.

We also appreciated the ease of the RE605X’s setup, thanks to the built-in wizard. But TP-Link’s RE605X performed just as well on this as our easier, almost-line-of-sight test. All the other Wi-Fi extenders we tested struggled, usually when there were lots of walls and furniture between them and our test laptop. ![]() In fact, no other extender we tested could keep up with its overall real-world performance.Īs our top choice for longest range, the RE605X gave us the best wireless signal of all the extenders we tested and offered no doubts on its overall performance. The TP-Link RE605X Wi-Fi range extender TP-LinkĪ speedy Wi-Fi 6 extender, TP-Link RE605X worked without fuss or software bloat, giving us consistent, high performance across 90% of our benchmarks. Read more from our testing of Wi-Fi routers here.One of the router’s Gigabit LAN ports is a “gaming port,” and the RT-AX86U can prioritize traffic from whatever device is plugged into it. It can be used as either a WAN port (to connect to your modem or network box) or LAN port (to connect to your Ethernet devices). It also has two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (read: USB 3.0) for connecting external storage and support for the highly robust WPA3 encryption and DFS channels - which can help avoid interference from your neighbors’ 5GHz networks.Īn extra 2.5Gbps Ethernet port sits alongside the typical Gigabit WAN and four Gigabit LAN ports, and while most people might never need that much speed, it’s a critical addition for those who already have access to gigabit-plus internet plans or desktop computers with 2.5Gbps ports - and also helps future-proof the router. Plus, it doesn’t skimp on features, including guest networking on 2.4GHz and 5GHz schedule-based parental controls for websites and applications quality-of-service rules (QoS) a built-in traffic analyzing tool for games and apps and an OpenVPN server so you can safely connect to your home network from outside. It also prompts you to download the latest version of the router’s firmware, which is an important security feature. The RT-AX86U takes up less shelf space with its vertical design, and its browser-based configuration portal makes it easy to set up. Specifically, it was an exceptional router for larger homes packed with devices, and even better if you have an internet plan above 200Mbps. With some of the best speeds at the longest range on our hardest tests, it also handled multiple devices better than any other router we tested and includes advanced features like 2.5Gbps Ethernet, link aggregation, guest networks, Wi-Fi scheduling and an OpenVPN server. The Asus RT-AX86U offers incredible performance in a relatively smaller footprint at a reasonable price. |
